tail tone

The Christmas holiday came quickly, and the heavy snow had already covered the castle and everything around it in white.Beauxbaton's carriage looked like a giant solitary frozen pumpkin parked next to Hagrid's hut.Durmstrang's boat was even more tied to the lake, and snow-white ice covered everything exposed outside.

This is Alberta's first Christmas at Hogwarts.Early in the morning, when she woke up, she was even a little delirious, not knowing where she was.But fortunately, after a while, she remembered that this was her Hogwarts dormitory.

Barefoot, she jumped out of bed and drew the curtains.Outside the window is a snowy scene.

Although Slytherin's dormitory is in a low-lying place like the cellar, due to the existence of magic, the window is not the scenery of the Black Lake, but the same as the other three colleges.

Christmas presents had been delivered to the dormitories, and at the moment, they were piled up at the end of the bed, waiting for Alberta to unwrap them.

The gifts were basically within Alberta's expectations, except that she actually received a gift from Sirius Black.To be honest, Alberta was shocked when she opened it and found that it was from Black.

Although the reason has been told to her,...she really doesn't think it's normal for Black to send Christmas presents just because he took care of Harry!

But Alberta didn't spend much time on this.She had to make sure there was nothing wrong with her Yule Ball outfit before rushing to lunch in the Great Hall.

After lunch, she went back to the dormitory, read a book for a while, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, she started to get ready.

Clothes and accessories don't need to take a lot of time. On the contrary, Alberta must take care of makeup and hairstyle.

After spending a lot of time on light makeup, Alberta tied up her hair again and fixed it with black pearls.The soft black glow matches her dark hair perfectly.

Finally, putting on high heels, Alberta walked out of the dormitory.

In the common room, Draco was already waiting there.At this moment, he was a little nervous.Although he had seen Alberta dressed up at Alberta's birthday party, after all, it was two or three years ago.Afterwards, her birthday parties were held on a small scale, and only a few close friends and relatives were invited together, so there was no need to be so grand.

Draco was visibly shocked when Alberta stepped out.The fishtail dress undoubtedly highlights Alberta's beautiful figure, and the existence of high heels makes her even more slim.

Alberta walked up to Draco with a smile on her face, and said, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Draco come back to his senses, and stretched out his arm, letting her put it on top.

The two walked slowly to the entrance hall, and on the way, they bumped into Neil with his girlfriend, but Blaise and Pansy hadn't seen it yet.

Harry and a girl Alberta didn't know were waiting there, and they were relieved when they saw Alberta passing by.But when he saw Draco next to Alberta, Harry immediately stared at Draco angrily.

"Good evening, Harry."

Harry stared at it for a while, then finally gave up. "Good evening, Alberta."

"Nervous?" Alberta could tell that Harry's whole body was stiff, probably his hands were already sweating.

Harry was caught by the words, smiled awkwardly, and whispered: "I... I'm afraid I'll screw it up."

Alberta patted him on the shoulder, and was about to say words of relief, but Draco didn't expect Draco to speak before her: "The savior is still afraid of the sight of these people? Oh, could it be that the dance is so bad that I lost you Gryffindor?" How many faces?"

That Harry can't dance has been known to everyone since Professor McGonagall held a tutoring dance.Now, Draco was attacking his weakness, and although Harry wanted to refute, he couldn't.

Alberta had no choice but to pat Draco's arm, motioning him to say less.Draco snorted coldly, but said nothing more.

Alberta laughed at Draco's almost arrogant behavior, but when she turned her head, she saw a familiar person.

No, it is familiar, but in the current environment, it is somewhat unexpected.

It's Hermione.Alberta had never seen Hermione like this before. She wore a dress made of flowing conch blue material, but the most striking thing was her hair.Her normally unkempt brown hair was smoothed and tied with a bow.And her lovely beaver-like front teeth have also become smaller through the spell, and she looks no different from anyone else.

"Hermione, you look so beautiful." Alberta praised heartily.

Hermione was already a little nervous, but when she said this, she blushed even more, and replied, "Thank you, Alberta, you are also very beautiful today!"

The entrance hall where they were located was full of students, bustling and harmonious, waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock.

After waiting for a while, the door of the hall opened, and the waiting people crowded in.And the front door opened not long after, and people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang also entered.

Not long after Alberta and Draco entered, Professor McGonagall came over and motioned for them to pass.

They were arranged to wait by the door, and after the other students were seated, they entered the auditorium with the other four pairs of warriors and their dance partners in order.

All the walls in the great hall were covered with shimmering silver frost, and hundreds of garlands of mistletoe and ivy wove the star-shaped black ceiling.The tables had been repainted to reflect a soft glow.In addition, there are about a hundred tables illuminated by lanterns, not very big, each seat can only seat 12 people.

Alberta looked at the extremely beautifully decorated auditorium, and smiled at everyone.

Dumbledore smiled at them as they approached the table.However, Alberta noticed that Old Crouch did not attend this Christmas dinner, and sitting in his seat was Percy Weasley.

Harry was cueed by Weasley to sit beside him, and before sitting down, he turned his head to look at Alberta and gave her a slightly relaxed look.

Alberta returned a smile, and sat down next to Hermione a little far away.

The glistening plates were empty, but a small menu was placed in front of everyone.

After Dumbledore ordered a dish, the rest of the people also understood what to do, and ordered some of their favorite food.

Alberta ordered a lot of things in one breath, which made Hermione and other people close to her stunned on the spot.On the contrary, Draco, after all these years of experience, didn't feel anything weird at all.In other words, it would be strange if one day Alberta ate less food.

"Alberta... so many things... can you finish it?" Hermione asked her in a low voice after hesitating.

Alberta hooked her lips and said, "Hermione, you underestimate me."

Hermione still looked disbelieving, but didn't ask any more.She understands the distance between friends, some questions can be asked only once, and cannot be asked a second time.

Soon, Hermione's attention was not on Alberta, she and Krum had a good chat.After Alberta noticed that Hermione was really serious about chatting with Krum, she also turned to chat with Draco.

But after chatting for a while, Delacour of Beauxbatons criticized the decoration of Hogwarts. She looked contemptuously at the glowing walls around her: "It's nothing. In Beauxbaton's castle, The great hall in Klimas is full of ice sculptures and they don't melt. Of course they look more like giant diamond statues that light up the whole place. And the food is top notch with a bunch of wooden maidens eating at us We don't have any ugly armor like this in our hall, and if there is such a Peeves, if he breaks into Beauxbatons, he will be kicked out." After finishing speaking, she even waved her hands impatiently. He patted the table.

After listening to her, both Alberta and Draco were a little angry.Hogwarts is their school, and they are the only ones who want to criticize Hogwarts.Only wizards studying at Hogwarts can criticize Hogwarts.Others can't even say a word.

But Delacour's partner was not the same as Alberta and Draco. He was completely fascinated by Delacour. Instead of criticizing Delacour's behavior, he agreed with it and imitated Delacour. Er slapped it on the table.

Seeing this move, both Alberta and Draco narrowed their eyes, and decided to find out after going back, who is the guy who followed outsiders like a fool to slander Hogwarts!

When dinner was over, Dumbledore made everyone stand, and with a wave of his hand, the tables moved against the walls, leaving an empty center.He waved his wand again, and a piece of the stage rose from the right.

A drum set, some guitars, a lute, a cello, and some Scottish bagpipes.

Anyone who is familiar with the music world of the magic world will know that this is the equipment of the star singer group "Weird Sisters".

Sure enough, amidst warm applause, the Weird Sisters stepped onto the stage, all furry and wearing a black dress that was probably torn on purpose.Without delay, they picked up the instruments and started playing.

Immediately afterwards, the lights on the tables were all extinguished, and Alberta immediately realized that it was time for the opening dance.

Draco held her hand with one hand, put one on her waist, and she put one hand on Draco's shoulder.The two slowly rotated on the dance floor as if they had rehearsed countless times.

Compared with the other four pairs of warriors, the two of them danced more casually and more gorgeously.

Alberta handed over control of the field to Draco, sliding and spinning along his movements, the fishtail-like skirt drew arcs one after another in the air, and the amethyst was shining in the light. Under the light, it shone with charming brilliance.

After the song was over, Draco thoughtfully took her out and walked to the corner of the auditorium.

Alberta took a quick look and could see Pansy and Blaise still dancing on the dance floor.Blaise's female companion was a student of Beauxbaton's. She had an impression, but she couldn't remember her name.Although compared to Delacour, the girl is not as beautiful as Delacour, but Delacour is too arrogant, but he is not the type that Blaise likes, and the girl danced while shaking her head. Leaning on Blaise's shoulder, he obviously already has a good impression of Blaise.In this regard, Alberta can only shrug his shoulders, the playboy of Slytherin, this title is not casual.Compared with Blaise, Draco is simply a child.

"Here." Draco handed the butterbeer to Alberta.

She took it, and gave Draco a surprise look at him.

"What, what's the matter?" Draco couldn't help asking, flustered by her look.

Alberta took a sip of butter beer, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's nothing. I just think...you really don't look like a Slytherin."

"What's not like?"

"The degree of windiness."

"………………………… I will not be like that guy Blaise!" Draco defended speechlessly.

Not long after Alberta and Draco sat down, a boy came up to Alberta and invited her to dance.

She agreed.

Seeing Alberta and the boy walk into the dance floor and dance to the brisk dance music, Draco suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

What, with such a bad boy, Alberta would agree to dance a song, did she think so?Not to mention him, even Blaise and Neil can kill that boy too much.

Draco was indignant, drinking butterbeer.Then, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

When he looked back, it was Blaise who had separated from that Beauxbaton girl. "Why, not with that girl from Beauxbatons?"

Blaise sat down beside him, grabbed a glass of butterbeer and took a big sip, then heaved a sigh of relief before answering Draco's question: "Don't mention it. That girl actually thought about getting engaged. "

Draco sneered, and said, "You deserve it. Someone like you will one day meet someone who makes you willing to marry."

"Don't, don't, don't! I don't want to be tied up, it's too uncomfortable!" Blaise waved his hands again and again, afraid that if Draco said that, it would come true.

"This kind of thing, who can say for sure. What if..."

"Don't!" Blaise almost covered Draco's mouth with his hand, preventing him from saying the following, "Compared to me, you think about yourself more."

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Draco gave Blaise a strange look.

Bryce felt complacent now, he brushed the hem of his clothes without a speck of dust, loosened the neckline, and then said as if deciphering: "You see Alberta's eyes are unusual... I like it him?"

"Stop kidding! I didn't!" Draco almost jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.He looked at Blaise with his pale gray eyes, blazing with anger.

But Blaise had obviously figured out Draco's temper long ago, and his hopping reaction was naturally in Blaise's imagination. "Oh? Don't like it? Then why do you react so strongly?"

When Blaise said this, Draco immediately calmed down, drinking his glass of butterbeer, looking very calm.

However, Blaise sighed and looked at Pansy who was still dancing on the dance floor: "I don't know how Pansy will react when Alberta has a boyfriend one day. This time Durmstrang's boy is still There are quite a few, and Alberta is also strong, and the Germans are not afraid of any problems with her mixed-blood identity."

Although he knew that Blaise was cheating on him, Draco frowned when he thought that one day, Alberta would really have a boyfriend.He couldn't imagine how he could get along with Alberta under such circumstances.

Blaise patted him on the shoulder, put the butter beer in his hand on the table, and got up to continue dancing.As he was leaving, he said to Draco, "Be the first to act, brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. Otherwise, you might cry."

Draco watched Blaise walk away and Alberta came back to sit after a dance.

"Why don't you dance?" Alberta laughed out loud after Draco rejected several girls.

Draco grimaced, looking at her with unspeakable eyes.Alberta touched her face, and asked a little strangely, "Is there something on my face?"

"No."

"Then why are you looking at me like that?"

Draco choked, then turned his head away, and said in an extremely awkward tone, "I was just wondering what kind of person you would like."

Alberta burst out laughing: "What kind of person do I like, does this have anything to do with you?"

"I'm just thinking about it! Can't you!" Draco's tone was almost annoyed.

"Okay. Just think about it." Alberta calmed his emotions, thought for a while, and then answered his question, "I really haven't thought about what kind of person I would like. Probably...have my own opinions , know what kind of path you want to take, strong, smart, people? As for wizards or Muggles, it doesn't matter."

"Are you going to marry a Muggle?" Draco's brows had long been raised, and he turned his head and stared at Alberta, afraid that she would say yes.

"I didn't say that I must marry a Muggle. Just let it be." Alberta looked at the butterbeer in his hand, the glass reflected the light, and it seemed to have a yellowish halo, "What's more, the standard is The standard, when it comes to reality, may be far from the standard."

After hearing this, Draco drank butterbeer in silence.He also couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart, as if he had eaten a lot of strange-flavored beans, with all kinds of flavors.

After sitting for a while, Alberta got up and planned to go back to the cellar.Draco quickly put down his butter beer and followed.

She was taken aback and asked him, "Aren't you going to stay?"

Draco pursed his lips, and said, "Come on, stay in the same place with those people, I might as well go back to the common room."

Alberta didn't continue to say anything, and walked to the cellar silently.

Halfway there, Draco asked her, "Do you know what the second item is?"

"Well, it's underwater rescue." Alberta's slender figure slowly moved forward in the cellar, and her exposed shoulders had a faint halo in the surrounding light, which made Draco's blood surge. "I don't know who will be my baby. I have to stay underwater for an hour. It's hard enough."

"Huh? Baby? Do you take it for someone else?"

"That's right." Alberta reported the password and entered the common room, "The voice in the golden egg is the mermaid's song, saying that it will take my treasure, and it can only be found within an hour, otherwise it will be Lose this treasure. I guess it will be chosen among my few friends." Alberta turned her head, looked at Draco, and said jokingly, "Maybe it will be you."

I don't believe it.Draco said so in his heart.

The day after Christmas is Alberta's birthday.

Compared with celebrating birthdays at home, although Elvis and Queen Lin were missing this time, there were more Harry and Hermione.

The Slytherins and Gryffindor came to the so-called Room of Requirement, preparing to celebrate Alberta's birthday.

This Room of Requirement was seen by Harry from the magical Marauder's Map, and he found it useful, so he told Alberta.And Alberta told Draco several people.

They walked to the opposite side of the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas with a stick on the eighth floor, walked back and forth three times, and chanted silently in their hearts.Then, a door just appeared.

Pushing the door open, it was a strange mixture of half Gryffindor and half Slytherin.

Alberta couldn't help but support her forehead: "It looks really... Strange." She changed the word "ugly" to strange when she came close to her mouth.

Several people sat according to the house, Harry and Hermione sat on the Gryffindor side, and Draco, Blaise, Pansy and Neil sat on the Slytherin side.But Alberta sits on the dividing line between the two.

No way, it would be too crowded for her to sit with Slytherin.

Fortunately, the style inside is very strange, but there is no shortage of things.

Hermione took out the cake and placed it on the middle table.And Harry took the candle, put it on the cake, and then divided the plate and the fork.

Draco and Blaise took out other foods, such as drinks and snacks.

Pansy pulled Alberta aside to prevent her from seeing their preparations.Neil also reminds them where they can change at any time.

After a while, everything will be ready.Pan Xi pulled Alberta to the table and signaled Alberta who had been blindfolded to open her eyes.

Immediately, Alberta was shocked by what she saw.

It was a huge cake. It was said that it was a wedding cake, and some people believed it.The height of five floors is higher than the Albert Tower.On top, are two candles, Alberta's age, 15.

Next to the cake, there is a pile of neatly placed wine glasses, and the red wine is on the side, waiting for someone to pour the red wine into these wine glasses.

On the other side, there are some very cute pastries, which are very appetizing at first glance.

Balloons and colored ribbons were adorning it, and the moment Alberta opened his eyes, Neil took out something he didn't know what it was, and sprayed it on.

The air was filled with a sweet and greasy fragrance, and Neil sprayed out pink, gold, blue, and green creamy slender strips, hanging on Alberta.

"The products of the twins are non-toxic and harmless, and are only for celebration!" Neil explained.

Alberta was not annoyed either. Surrounded by everyone, facing the cake and candles, she made a wish, then picked up her wand, and extinguished the candles.

Draco took the wine and started pouring it.Blaise started to cut the cake relying on being the tallest of all the people.

But how could things go so smoothly?

Halfway through the cut, these people started throwing cakes at each other.

Boom—Draco's hair suffered.

Boom—Harry's clothes were ruined.

After playing, almost no one is lucky.Even Alberta, who has always been agile, was hit twice, leaving marks on his clothes.

"Pfft—" I don't know who was the first to point at others and laugh, and soon, the eight of them laughed together.No one cared about the academy, no one cared about the old feud.

"Okay, pack up. It's almost time for the curfew." Alberta waved her wand, looked at the time, and decisively moved the people who had collapsed on the ground.

After being told by Alberta, several people stood up and threw "clean up" on their bodies, and they stopped their movements until they could almost see people.

After returning to the common room, Pansy was the first person to slump down on the sofa unbearably. "Merlin, I'm exhausted!"

Blaise glanced at her weakly, and said, "It sounds like you are the only one who is tired."

Pan Xi rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can girls compare with you guys?"

"...I don't think Alberta is as tired as you."

"I have no way to compare with Your Highness."

Seeing them talking more and more, Alberta quickly stopped them: "Okay, let's go back to the dormitory and take a shower. It's so late, be careful that you won't get up tomorrow."

The author has something to say: =L=This chapter has been merged with the one agreed yesterday, a chapter of [-]+, okay~
