HP's Foreign Land

For this Christmas ball, the deans of the four Hogwarts houses have worked hard. Except for Professor Snape, who originally had a gloomy image, the other three deans are friendly on the surface, but in fact, there are dark tides behind their backs. They are all secretly giving trouble to the children of their own colleges, for fear of being robbed of the limelight today.

Perhaps the children of Slytherin are the only ones in the four houses who are more peaceful, because their headmasters never worry about it, and Professor Snape is never worried that the students of his own house can't dance, the headmaster is "will it be?" It should be, no? It’s your own business if you make a fool of yourself.” Such a disapproving mentality.

Fortunately, the Slytherin children were more face-saving, and those who couldn't dance hid back home, and the rest were students who thought they could handle this kind of occasion.

Professor McGonagall is in a very low mood today, and the source of the confusion at the start of the dance is Gryffindor's Parvati, and it's still too late to formally go up for a dance.Don't look at Professor McGonagall who always has a sullen face, and has a lot of demands on students in Transfiguration. He is a well-known and rigorous professor, but as a woman, she also maintains excellence in the art of dance. Attitude.

Why did Professor Dumbledore entrust her with arranging the ball? On the one hand, he believed in her character;

The tragedy of Professor McGonagall is here. In fact, the professors at Hogwarts more or less knew that Minerva McGonagall danced very well. Unfortunately, the children in her house did not live up to it. , only Gryffindor is the least interested in the study of ballroom dancing. The lack of attention here is an average value. The learning atmosphere of Gryffindor ballroom dancing is the most depressed among the four houses. Of course, it cannot be ruled out Some studious children drive the total score, but such children are rare after all.

When the students around him swarmed onto the dance floor, Harry's already pitiful heart for dancing became a cloud. He was the first to leave among the four dancers. Cedric shrugged and turned to find his girlfriend. , Qiu Zhang and Anita had broken up a long time ago, and when they saw Cedric coming to look for them, they greeted him with a smile on their faces.

Parvati didn't care if the partner was a man or a woman. For a girl her age, dancing was an exciting entertainment. The little girl had a lot of fun, but Harry's departure stopped her from continuing to fly. Likely, she was Harry's dance partner tonight, and she had to be by Harry's side just out of politeness.

Parvati reluctantly bid farewell to Fleur and other people on the dance floor. Today's dance seemed to make her see a different Fleur. This French beauty is not as unreasonable as she imagined, she thought to herself Walking out step by step and turning back three times.

Parvati actually didn't want to leave, but actually wanted to stay.

Now that Anita and Furong were alone, the males inside and outside the dance floor suddenly became excited. Unexpectedly, the two beauties rejected all the invitations by coincidence, and went to the small round table to rest.

The males followed them obsessively, and their absent-minded attitude naturally annoyed their dance partners. The female partners thought that they had not received due respect, so they withdrew one by one in a rage. All the males came to their senses and chased after them. However, the female partners are determined to never step on the dance floor with their male partners again.

With the previous messy dance as a precedent, and then the non-cooperative resistance movement of the girls, this Christmas ball wearing a traditional hat finally and completely rushed in a new direction.

When the first girl couldn't hold back her jumpy mood and wanted to dance for a while, she didn't choose her male partner, but happily entered the dance floor arm in arm with her best friend, and the two were abandoned. The male dance partner couldn't help but look at each other, is there anything more speechless than this.

No matter what, once you start, there is no shortage of people to follow.

The Patil sisters are the second batch of people who voluntarily taste crabs. To be honest, the two Miss Patils are really good-looking, and their mysterious and exotic charm makes them very popular among boys in Gryffindor. The welcome, Harry's classmate Dean Thomas once praised them as the most beautiful girls in the whole year.

Parvati's twin sister, Padma, was Ron's dance partner. The two sisters hinted several times that the two men would go to the dance floor again, but they didn't get a response.

Padma is even more resentful than Parvati. Parvati has at least been off the dance floor, and Ron has sat on a chair since he entered the venue, as if his ass was glued to the chair, and he refused to do it again. stand up.

But now, the changes on the dance floor made the eyes of the sisters brighten up. Why do they have to find boys to dance? Female students can also play the role of dance partners.

Parvati's gaze passed through layers of human walls and landed on the other end. Then she approached Padma and whispered something. Padma was a little surprised at first, shaking her head timidly, and Parvati was in her ear again. After muttering for a while, Padma finally decided to give it a try.

Padma stood up, straightened her dress, and said to her sisters with the determination of a strong man, "I'm leaving, wish me luck."

"May God, Merlin and Shiva be with you." Perhaps Parvati felt that Merlin was not enough, so she simply added God and the Indian god Shiva together, and she was not afraid of the three colliding in the sky.

"Where is she going?" Ron didn't stop, just puzzled.

Parvati ignored him and said to Harry, "One last time, are we not going to dance?"

Harry was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Sorry, I'm really not interested."

"I see." Parvati stood up, looked around on tiptoe, and then walked in a certain direction.

On her sister Padma's side, under the unbelievable gazes of all the males, Furong took Padma's slightly trembling hand and entered the dance floor with her. At that moment, Padma's smile was extremely bright.

At the same time, Heimdall and Victor left the dance floor, and Victor returned to the table where Anita was resting. Heimdall's partner had just entered the dance floor at this time, and Heimdall, who was alone, simply picked up the egg The milk wine was drunk.

"Hey Rigg."

Heimdall looked back and saw Draco leaving Hermione and running over alone.

"What's the matter?" Heimdall noticed that his eyes were bright, and he was a little over excited.

"Let's go dancing." Draco pointed to the center of the crowded auditorium, and then went to Rahemdall.

Heimdall saw Hermione on the dance floor with a girl she didn't know, no wonder Draco came to invite him, and he was the one who was left behind.

"I'm leaving," Heimdall said to Victor.

Victor nodded.

Draco took Heimdall's hand and hurried to the dance floor. In fact, if you don't count Cedric and Harry, Heimdall and Victor, who were artificially interrupted during the dance, the cousins It was the first of its kind, because the dance floor was full of girls dancing with girls, not men dancing with men.

Heimdall and Draco were stunned after entering the dance floor. They looked at each other for a moment, and almost said in unison, "You dance to the lady's steps."

The two frowned at the same time, "I don't know how to dance ladies' steps."

"Nonsense! You just danced with Krum in ladylike steps!" Draco refused to accept being fooled.

"Suddenly I forgot how to dance." Heimdall sneered.

Draco took a very strong step forward, as if to hug Heimdall's waist.

"How dare you!" Heimdall was angry.

Draco turned a deaf ear and put his arms around Heimdall's waist. Knowing that Heimdall was just bluffing, he said with a smile: "You are my brother, you have to let me go."

"Why don't you remember that I'm your brother?!" Heimdall stretched his face and put his hands on Draco's shoulders, acquiescing.

After only 5 minutes, Draco's feet were numb from Heimdall's step on them, and Master Malfoy could only be thankful that his cousin was not wearing high heels.

Draco said dumbfoundedly: "You did it on purpose, you danced well with Krum just now."

Heimdall said, "Don't you think Victor has been changing his pace just now?"

Draco froze for a moment, "I didn't notice... what do you mean?"

"It means that in order not to be stepped on by me, Victor has been trying to avoid it in advance. Actually, I'm not talking nonsense. I really don't know how to dance ladies' steps."

Draco sighed, "Okay, I know, I'm not as good as Krum, for the sake of my feet, let's get out of here quickly."

When leaving the dance floor, Heimdall's eyes met Snape's inadvertently. Snape's eyes did not stop, but quickly flew over and looked in another direction. Heimdall had an idea in his heart. .

"If I invite Professor Snape, do you think your dean will agree?" Heimdall asked Draco hesitantly.

Draco didn't expect him to have such an idea. After confirming that his cousin was not joking, he thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "If it was us Slytherin who invited us, eight or nine out of ten would not agree, If it's students from the other three colleges who invite you, 100% will be rejected, if it's you... I don't know, but I think you can give it a try."

"What do you think the success rate is?" Heimdall asked worriedly.

"50 percent," Draco said unsurely. "Don't look at our dean as if he is not interested in anything. In fact, he attaches great importance to this school year, and he also cares about the Potions scores of our school students. He is probably afraid of embarrassing himself in front of you. This school year's classroom questions are more important than before. So much, that even us Slytherins were berated mercilessly, which would never have happened before."

As a Slytherin, Draco was well aware of how protective their head was.

"Stop talking, the more you talk, the less I dare to go." Heimdall smiled wryly.

"Actually, the dean still cares about you, but his character...you know it too." Draco comforted Heimdall.

Heimdall pondered for a moment, cleared his throat, tugged at his collar, and walked in the direction where Snape was.

***

Parvati on the dance floor is so happy that she is dancing with a Hufflepuff girl at the moment. The irony is that neither of them can dance men's steps. They either move backward together or forward together, an elegant Viennese waltz They danced into a weird version of tango, but whocares, happiness is the most important thing.

"Oops!" The Hufflepuff girl's eyes widened suddenly.

Parvati got out of step again and bumped into a couple passing behind her. She got used to the mistake and became numb. Parvati turned her head in a normal way, intending to say something sorry. She was used to dealing with such sudden surprises. It happened, but when Parvati looked back, her smile froze on her face, her eyes were as round as her dance partner's, and she looked like a ghost.

She bumped into Professor Snape? !

Merlin!God!Shiva! ! !Why is Professor Snape here?It's a pity that none of the three answered her, probably they were fighting or drawing lots.

"I'm sorry, Professor Snape..." Parvati shrank her neck and looked at the ground.

Snape snorted, grabbed Heimdall's arm again, and slid past Parvati. Parvati raised her eyes in surprise, and stared at the Hufflepuff girl. I can't believe Snape just let them go, normally, the professor would be uncomfortable if he didn't make the students uncomfortable with some harsh discordant notes.

Parvati and the Hufflepuff girls thought it looked like Professor Snape was quite comfortable now.

Under the leadership of Professor Snape, all the professors of Hogwarts joined in the dance. This is an excellent opportunity to flatter the professor. It would be a pity to miss it.

As a result, the professors of various subjects were surrounded by students, and they were extremely popular. Even the professor of divination, Trelawney, who was not very popular at ordinary times, was also surrounded.

On this side, Snape and Heimdall were still dancing.

Heimdall found that Snape danced very well, because he was now dancing at a lady's pace, and Professor Snape's feet had never been stepped on by him. If he did not have a certain level, it would be impossible to do it.

"I have received your Christmas present, thank you." Snape, who had never said a word, said suddenly.

"You're welcome." Heimdall smiled.

He did not forget the Potions professor this Christmas, and the gifts he gave were also very ordinary, and they would definitely not be a burden to others. Heimdall could never forget the scene of Snape staying up late to correct his homework. His sixth sense told him, This professor must often do this. Heimdall always felt that Snape was very preoccupied. Generally speaking, people who are too preoccupied generally cannot sleep well. Even if they fall asleep, the quality of sleep is not good. Heimdall thought for a long time, and finally Let the house-elves on the ship try to buy a batch of herbal tea to help sleep from the teahouse in Cotton Town.

"You can drink it when you think of it, those teas are very helpful to your health," Heimdall said.

"I started drinking when I received it." Snape pursed his lips.

"I'm very happy." Heimdall laughed.

Snape turned his face away uncomfortably, a little annoyed at being so honest.

The dance music came to an end, and both Snape and Heimdall left the dance floor.

"Sturluson!"

Heimdall looked over at the sound and saw Professor Katenin waving at him.

"You go." Snape released him, Heimdall smiled, turned and walked towards Kattenin.

Heimdall walked up to him, "What's the matter, Professor?"

Katenen looked serious, "Why don't you ask me to dance?"

Heimdall was stunned for a moment, "...I'm afraid I'll step on your foot."

Katenin laughed, "The little guy reacts very quickly." He said to Karkaroff.

It was rare for Karkaroff to be honest, "If you ask me that, how else can he answer?"

Katenen straightened his face immediately, and said to Heimdall: "The professors in my own school don't invite me. Go and invite professors from other schools. Let me tell you, I am very unhappy."

Heimdall immediately said: "Is there still time now? The premise is if you are not afraid of being stepped on."

"I've been waiting for your words for a long time." Katenin stood up briskly, took Heimdall's hand with a smile on his face, and rushed to the dance floor.

Victor and Anita, who were eager to try in the rest area, both died down after seeing each other. Anita was particularly depressed. When will it be my turn?
