[HP] The Elegance of the Night

Perhaps seeing Igil's displeasure, Draco kept his mouth shut in the following practice and focused on the dance steps.The boy who became serious gradually relaxed his body, and his gestures looked decent.Igil no longer observed Draco's every move from the mirror, and as the music flowed, he followed Draco's dance steps into it.When the clockwork on the music box stopped moving and the brisk and elegant music stopped playing, they stopped dancing, but still maintained their embraced posture.

"I think it's okay, Draco, it's absolutely fine for you to lead the dance." Igil recalled the dance steps just now. At the beginning, Draco's dancing posture was up and down, which made him a little confused. In the end, he was sure that if Draco could play normally, he would be at a top-notch level.

"Yeah." The platinum-haired boy seemed a little absent-minded, he reluctantly let go of the hand around Igil's waist, and was still reminiscing about the wonderful feeling when the two danced together.

"I think I'm a little stage frightened, and I'm always nervous at the beginning." The platinum-haired boy commented to himself, and asked sullenly, "I definitely want to practice, Igil, you will help me Bar?"

"You should find a dance partner as soon as possible," Igil thought for a while and said, he couldn't help him all the time, the feeling of being held up as a female partner was really subtle, and to be honest, he didn't like it very much.

"Igil..." Draco wondered, "I don't want others to know."

"Actually, your other moves are very good." Igil sighed helplessly, "Before you find a dance partner, I can practice the basic dance steps with you—only basic dance steps."

"I knew you were the best for me, Igil." Draco didn't mind at all that he could only do basic dance steps, and he was already very satisfied to be so close to Igil.

Time passed by like running water, and in the following time, Draco refused several witches who invited him almost every day. This momentum did not decrease because of his rejection, but became more intense.After asking each other, the girls were sure that Draco hadn't invited anyone, which gave them hope, especially as Christmas drew closer.

"Why did you reject her?" Igil asked Draco after watching a beautiful witch leave.

"Because she's taller than me!" Draco replied.

"Why did you reject her?" The second time, it was Pansy's gloating question.

"She's from Ravenclaw House." Draco gave her a blank look.

"Why did you reject her?" The third time was Blaise's regretful tone, that witch was really petite and lovely.

"Brace, she's already in sixth grade!" Draco shuddered.

"Why this time?" Crabbe and Goyle asked curiously, but this witch met all the requirements.

"I don't know her well." Draco's words stunned everyone.

As Christmas approached, Draco still had no dancing partner, and the witches, exhausted of patience, accepted the invitations of others one after another.

"I hear you still don't have a partner?" After a Potions class, Snape left his godson alone, as if out of his own concern or to keep the Yule Ball going. Talk to Draco.

"What caused this situation? You rejected all the girls with good conditions. Could it be that you have privately invited a certain low-grade girl, but others don't know?" Snape's doubts made Draco With his head down, he seemed to have failed the godfather's expectations.

"I rejected them because I have more suitable candidates." When Draco said this, he raised his head again, looked straight into Snape's eyes, and said calmly, "Don't worry, the Christmas ball Now, I will bring my dance partner and be there on time." Having said that, he was not even sure.Igil Black - Will he grant his unreasonable request?

"Draco, you still don't have a dance partner." One night near Christmas, Igil pointed out this problem while sitting by the bed. He urged Draco to practice a little dance every day, but he had already Instead of sparring, Draco hugged a pillow, much to the dismay of his roommate.

"You don't have a partner, Igil." Draco sat next to Igil, and threw the pillow far away.After a graceful arc, half of the soft pillow lay on his bed, and the other half was precariously propped outside.

"I'm not a warrior and I have to lead the dance in the center of the auditorium. Even if I don't have a partner, it's no big deal." Igil snapped his fingers, turned over the pillow in a tragic posture, and finally stayed safely on Draco's big bed, "You Not the same, Draco. If you don't decide, you can only pick what others have left."

"Igil, actually... Actually, I want to invite you to be my dance partner." If he said this kind of thing usually, Draco would definitely not dare to look at the other party, but this time he stared at Igil's eyes and squeezed his eyes tightly. Lips, he knew how to make Igil soft-hearted.

"Will you?" Draco asked nervously.His roommate looked at him in surprise.There was no words for five seconds, Draco's heart sank gradually, he felt as if a day had passed, "If you don't want to, I..."

"I am willing." Igil's bright black eyes narrowed slightly, and after pursing his lips, he suddenly smiled.

"Yes! You just said you are willing!" Draco's eyes instantly shone brightly, "Great, great..."

"Wait, Draco..." Igil stopped his roommate from getting excited.

"I'm conditional." He added, "I don't want to dance at the ball, so..." He smiled at Draco, self-evident.

"But Igil, I'm a warrior!" Draco suddenly understood what Igil meant. His roommate wanted him to dance the women's step, but how could this be possible.

"If you can't do it, forget what you just said." Igil said disappointedly, he also knew that Draco would not agree to this request, and inviting him to be a dance partner was a wrong idea in itself.Although when he heard the invitation just now, he was moved for a moment.

"I only need time for one song, Igil, let's discuss it. The dance will last from eight o'clock to twelve o'clock. Except for the first dance song, I will dance the girl's step afterwards. Is that okay?" Draco Gritting his teeth, he made the biggest concession.I have to say, this proposal is very tempting, but...

"As far as I know, Dumbledore invited the weird sisters this time. According to their style, maybe after a waltz is finished, the style of music will be changed to those strange music in WWN (Wizard Unlimited Network)." If it wasn't for that, maybe he would have agreed.

"Are you really not thinking about it? Yigil, the invitation to the weird sisters is simply a rumor spread in the school."

"The rumors will become true if they spread for a long time, not to mention that your family is one of the school's trustees." Most of the school's activities funds come from the Malfoy family. Draco's offer is too attractive. Dare to agree easily.

"Unless you dance women's steps." Igil replied with the same answer, short and firm.To be dragged around by Draco in front of the whole school, no, three schools plus the officials of the Ministry of Magic who will be invited, and there will be no benefit afterwards, he will never do such a loss-making thing .

"Igil..." Draco bit his lip and looked at Igil with pitiful eyes, his roommate turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

"Then, forget what I said today, Igil..."

The invitation to the dance broke up unhappily under the uncompromising insistence of the two snake yard boys.With a mournful face, Draco bit the pillow that he held in his arms as a dance partner and tossed all night, lying on the bed and continued to ravage.If the poor pillow could talk, it would definitely point at Draco and protest loudly. As an object for its owner's head, what did it do wrong? It will be treated with its teeth, and it will not be bitten down so hard. After more than one night, it will die a heroic sacrifice.

The next day, neither Igil nor Draco mentioned what happened yesterday, as if they really forgot what they said last night.Draco began to keep an eye on the witches around him, scanning from one end of the Slytherin common room to the other, but to his disappointment, the slightly prettier girls had already accepted the invitation.

Except for him, Igil, Crabbe, and Gore, no one in the entire grade failed to find a dance partner.Draco was extremely remorseful, there were many beautiful girls who invited him and Igil back then, if Igil hadn't rejected those lovely girls like him, he wouldn't have thought that Igil was connected with him, Hotheaded puts out an invitation to the dance.

"Could it be that you are really looking for girls from lower grades?" Draco rested his chin on the armchair and looked around. In fact, from his heart, there are quite a few girls under the fourth grade who are pretty, and they None were invited.

"Why didn't I find out before?" He murmured, his eyes lingering on the girls who were sitting together in groups, laughing and laughing.If one of them was invited, the witches around her would be chattering non-stop.So he dismissed the idea and turned his attention to places with fewer people.When he saw the girl sitting with Ginny, his eyes suddenly lit up.That beautiful blond hair, yes, that's the dance partner he's looking for!

"Greengrass, would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me?"

"What?" Astoria was distracted from the chat with Ginny, with a somewhat dazed expression.

"What! Igil!" Draco was extremely surprised, the invitation was not said by him.

"Would you like to go to the Christmas ball with me?" Igil looked at the beautiful blonde girl seriously and repeated.
