"Mr. Riddle, could you please take me to the dance?" Miss Natalie Berster, a fourth grader with a blushing face, stood guard at the door of the Slytherin common room, waiting for Tom to go out.In addition to being able to form dance partners between students who are also in the sixth grade, they can also invite students from the third grade and above.Especially the combination of sixth-grade boys and lower-grade fourth- and fifth-grade girls has precedents every year.

For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence.The gazes of almost all the girls were complicatedly focused on Tom's face.

Diamond Tom Riddle and Ravenclaw's Wendy Carter are childhood sweethearts.However, the relationship between them has always been ambiguous, if it is good or bad, they are almost inseparable.But if it is a couple, it seems that neither of the two parties has admitted it.

"I'm sorry little Miss Berside," said Tom, choosing words.The Beside family is one of the four major herbal medicine suppliers of the "Tree of Wisdom", so he is usually very polite to the three children of the Beside family, but now it seems that it is time to be strict with them. "I need to represent the student body at the prom."

"It's okay." Natalie said coquettishly, "You can also dance after the chairman finishes his speech."

"I'm sorry little Miss Berside." Tom continued in a flat tone, "I have a partner I want to invite."

"Huh." The atmosphere in the room relaxed, and the Slytherin girls looked away eagerly.If Riddle agrees, it means that he and Carter are not in a relationship, and it will become a Shura field where everyone competes fairly.Who said that only little Beside wanted to invite the chairman of the student union and the head of the "Wisdom Tree"?Everyone thinks about it.

Fortunately, Tom refused.

Can't compete, who calls someone a childhood sweetheart?Born to take the lead over others.Students in the same sixth grade should understand the situation better. Not only is Carter a childhood sweetheart, but she also has enough capital.

However, Natalie was not convinced: "Is the person you want to invite the Mudblood from Ravenclaw?"

Elder Beside, who is in the sixth grade, hurried up to hold her back. "What about your manners—sorry sir. She's spoiled by us," she apologized to Tom. "I'll take care of my sister."

Tom's icy eyes flicked across the faces of the Bersid sisters, only staring at them made them feel cold all over. "You'd better do what you say, Miss Berster." Tom said, "There can be disputes in our team, but there can be no discrimination, understand?"

"Obey." Everyone present said in unison, as if they were shouting slogans.

Tom left imposingly amidst their staring salute, and hurried in the direction of Ravenclaw Tower.Little Miss Berside reminded him that he hasn't invited Wendy yet.Damn it, he actually forgot such an important thing, if Wendy thought he didn't want to invite her to dance, it would be terrible.

Alphard, who deliberately didn't remind Tom, pretended to trot after Tom for two steps, then stopped, looked at Tom's back and shook his head with a smile.He himself didn't have any idea of ​​inviting a dance partner. Since Ackerman won't come to the ball, it doesn't matter whether he invites him or not.

Master Black, who has been disinherited, has fallen out of favor with the ladies of the pure-blood family, and he has received much less harassment than on Valentine's Day in previous years.Alphard breathed a sigh of relief.He can now easily watch Tom being chased and chased.

Jost felt really a bit back today.He had already made an appointment with a Hufflepuff fifth-year girl, and there was no pressure to find a partner.However, Scamman and Prewett, the two cheaters, insisted on dragging him to Ravenclaw Tower, saying, "You are smarter and can pass the test of Ravenclaw's eagle ring".In fact, it is to take him to block the gun.

Scarman was fine, he invited Rolanda Hooch.

Harold Prewett invited Wendy Carter.That school bully monster Carter!That's right, in Yost's heart, Wendy is such an image, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, it can't erase the cruelty inside.

However, Jost hadn't finished contemptuous of Harold's eyes when he saw Tom whose eyes were almost dripping with black water.

"No. Boss, listen to me, I'm innocent, I don't know anything..."

"No, Yost. I trust you."

Yost: QAQ, I'm done.

"I'm here to invite you to be my dance partner, Miss Wendy Carter." Tom ignored Harold Prewett who was still standing in front of Wendy, and cut in line without any sense of first come first served.

"As it happens," said the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, "me too."

Tom glanced at him coldly: "It's a coincidence, do you want a duel?"

Jost covered his face in despair.

Prewett drew out his wand directly, and stood in front of his chest, which was a standard starting posture for a duel. "Here? Or do you want a place?"

"remarkably brave."

"Hey, brother. Even if you are the president of the student body, you can't let me stand in front of a beautiful girl without a fight."

"That--"

"Wait." Wendy interrupted them directly, "It's useless for you to fight, I still have the final decision."

The hot atmosphere that was on the verge of breaking out instantly froze to zero.

Prewett put away his wand, and approached Wendy with a playful smile. "Of course, Wendy. In the matter of choosing a partner, the lady has the highest power."

Tom's face turned black instantly, but Wendy saved the world with her next sentence: "I'm sorry, Harold. I've already made an appointment with Tom."

"What do you call that kid? Harold?" Until Tom finished his speech at the dance gracefully and pulled the beautiful green plum in a white dress around the dance floor, he still couldn't forget a name. "He still calls you Wendy! Since when did you get to know each other so well? Huh?"

The roses and daisies in Wendy's crown, just inches from the tip of Tom's nose, were faintly scented into his nose.Wendy looked up, her jewel-like blue eyes were moist and shiny. "Fifth grade. Alphard and I were able to enter Atlantis, Harold—"

"Ok?"

"—Okay. Alphard and I were able to enter Atlantis, Mr. Prewett helped a lot."

Tom strengthened his arm, bringing Wendy's body closer to him.With the convenience of turning, his head was placed next to Wendy's left ear. "I don't want to hear you call him by his Christian name again." After he muttered this sentence, he continued to turn around and moved his head away, showing a mature, stable and personable appearance.

"Pfft." Wendy couldn't help laughing, her cheeks were pink. "Are you prejudiced against Gryffindor?"

No, I'm only biased against that kid.

My rival in love saved me, it was really the most fucking thing in the world.

Tom held back his depression, and dragged Wendy around in a big circle.Her white dress is like a magnolia on the dance floor, attracting more and more eyes; and when these eyes move from the skirt to the face of the owner of the skirt, they can no longer move away.

There was a faint blush on her smooth and jade-like cheeks.The facial features with light makeup are more delicate, and they are put together to form a gentle smile.The blond hair was coiled up, revealing the slender neckline, with an elegant posture like a swan.

I know that Carter is beautiful, but I never knew that Carter is so beautiful when dressed up.

Tom also noticed the gazes around him, he blocked Wendy with his arms calmly, and led her out of the dance floor.Wendy broke into a thin sweat after dancing a song. She glanced at Fancourt and Rolanda who were radiating energy in the middle of the dance floor, and she was extremely envious.Even the erratic Pince was the object of her envy, and a good-natured Hufflepuff boy was teaching her how to dance, and both of them were sweating.

Good health is the greatest happiness.

A few young boys rushed to the stage to grab the band's job, and the BGM in the field suddenly changed its style and became a passionate Spanish dance music.

This was exactly what Fancourt wanted, and she let go of her partner, and quickly swung her big fiery red skirt, and the sound of kicking footsteps made her look like a queen.Her partner conjured two castanets for her and threw them to her.Fancourt was playing flamenco while knocking on the instrument, and the big purple waves were thrown in the air without falling.

"She dances really well." Rolanda also exited the dance floor and ran to find Wendy. "I want to drink water." She directed her male companion.

Mr. Scarman, the outgoing Gryffindor prefect, was particularly good-tempered in front of Rolanda: "Do you want orange juice? Or champagne?"

Rolanda raised her chin: "Of course it's champagne, and orange juice is for children."

"No, real adults drink cocktails." Scarman whispered desperately.

Rolanda heard it, and stared at her eagle eyes: "You're yelling again? How does it feel to be hit on the chest by the patron saint?"

"Okay, okay." Scarman raised his hands in surrender, "It's my fault, Your Royal Highness."

Rolanda took off his hat and tried to smash it, and Scarman hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and ran towards the drink area.

"Your boyfriend?" Wendy asked her little friend.

Rolanda reattached the small decorative hat to the top of the right side of her head. "No!" she screamed, "Boyfriend? No! I was almost mad at him."

"Oh……"

Tom was not interested in such low-level flirting. "I'll get you some drinks. What would you like to drink?"

"Orange juice for kids, thank you."

"At your service, ma'am."

Wendy and Rolanda sat on the sofa in the lounge area and waited for their male companion to come back.Fancourt has finished dancing the Spanish dance.Now most of the people entered the intermission.Everywhere you look, there are people with drinks and snacks.

Suddenly, Wendy felt a chill on her knee. "Be careful!" Rolanda exclaimed.Wendy looked down, and saw that a girl with brown-red curly hair fell down, and two-thirds of the red wine in her hand spilled on Wendy's skirt.

"I'm sorry. I seem to have stained your skirt." She stood up quickly and said in a panic.

Wendy first confirmed the little girl's condition.She stood up and showed her whole face. It was easy to see that she was not a sixth grader, but a lower grader who was brought in. "It's good that you're fine." Wendy smiled, and used a silent and spellless "clean up" to wipe off all the wine stains on the skirt, "Be careful when you walk."

"Natalie!" With a slightly hoarse shout, a sixth-year Slytherin girl ran over, almost rudely pulling the brown-red curly-haired girl away from Wendy. "I'm really sorry, Miss Carter. I didn't think well of my sister."

Wendy knew her.Mona Beside, the eldest daughter of the Beside family, but she can almost be used as the eldest son. She is a woman with a strong career ambition.She had always had a good impression of Miss Big Beside. "It's okay, Mona. Don't be too hard on her, she's still a child."

When Natalie heard the last sentence, she interrupted suddenly and angrily: "I'm not a child. Miss Blake is already engaged at my age."

Mona Berside gave her younger sister a vicious look, and the elder sister's gaze made the little Miss Berside shut her mouth.Mona apologized to Wendy again, then dragged her sister to the other side of the hall as if fleeing.

"She did it on purpose." Rolanda said with a sullen face, "I saw it, she did it on purpose."

Wendy glanced at Rolanda in surprise: "It can be solved with a spell, on purpose?"

Rolanda shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, my eyes can't see wrong. And her sister's reaction, I must know that she did it on purpose."

"Well, let's do a self-examination." She spread out her right hand, holding up a red storm ball in her palm.The rune flowed, and a faint white smoke enveloped Wendy's body for less than a second before dissipating, and at the same time dissipating was a little black smoke-like thing.

"what is that?"

"I don't know." Wendy said, "I'm not very good at curses from ancient magic families."

Rolanda almost jumped up: "What?! Curse?!" She moved too much and attracted the attention of others.Rolanda hurriedly sat down and lowered her voice: "Now this is a vicious incident!"

"It's no different, it's still a matter that can be solved with a spell." Wendy looked indifferently, "My time is precious, and I don't have time to compete with little girls to be jealous." I thought that if Tom confessed today, I would accept it, but now it seems Tsk, relationship issues are indeed too troublesome.
