[Comprehensive British and American] Guide for wizards to eat and wait to die

After receiving Draco's invitation, Emma entered a state of restlessness, entanglement and anxiety.

What the hell does he mean?I have always regarded him as a friend, but he probably has other meanings. . .

No, what if she just thought too much, after all Draco didn't express anything other than inviting her to the ball.And he wasn't the only one who invited her this way, Harry had joked with her not long ago that if he couldn't find a partner, he would make do with her.

Could it be that Draco wanted to invite her out of the same psychology?

wrong!Even with the beauty of the little prince Draco Slytherin, it is impossible not to find a partner. . .Maybe he just thinks that they are all unattractive, but she can see more in comparison?

Well, it should be like this, this semester she was obsessed with studying and Harry and the communication between them was much less, not to mention Draco.If it wasn't for her dormitory being close to the Slytherin common room, they might not see each other more than a few times a semester, except for the necessary contact in class.So it was almost impossible to say what Draco thought of her.

She must be thinking too much, hmm.Excessive brain supplementation is a disease that can be cured.

It just so happens that she also lacks a dance partner, and Draco is not bad, so why not agree?

Emma nodded in her heart, so be it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was a subdued air of restlessness among the students on Christmas Day.

Everyone seems to have successfully found a partner, but Hermione has been keeping secret who she is.

"Must be some dork she met in the library" She had once heard Ron discuss with Harry angrily.

There really isn't much to say about their two below-average EQ friends, Emma.

Maybe they will find out their true heart after the dance~

Although Draco came to pick her up early, it took Emma a whole hour to put on the dress sent by Alec.

It's really not her fault, Alec seems to be determined to dress up his granddaughter as the most dazzling person at the ball.

Alec sent a light green dress.The complicated lace patterns are stacked layer by layer on the skirt body and hem, which looks extravagant and extravagant.The gentle ruffles spread gently and fluttering over the entire shoulders and chest, adding a touch of classical temperament.A big bow on the back made her wonder if it was custom-made according to the dress of a princess in a fairy tale.

If she hadn't selectively ignored the gold thread gloves and pearl necklace, otherwise, after matching the whole set, everyone might think she was back in the Middle Ages. . .

Emma finally tied her hair into a bun, and fixed the few strands of hair that were usually very scattered with clips.Only now did she have the confidence to go out.

After going out, Draco's stunned expression greatly satisfied her vanity, Emma smiled and took his arm, Draco simply greeted her and said nothing more.

Draco was wearing a black velvet gown with a high collar. The soft fabric and delicate dark patterns all showed that this dress was expensive.But Emma felt that a young man like him shouldn't wrap himself in such an old-fashioned color.

A little past serious, eh.

Soon they came to the auditorium.The walls of the Great Hall were covered with glittering silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and there were hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy.Gone were the four college tables, replaced by a hundred smaller tables lit with lanterns.

The students are no longer all school uniforms, everyone is wearing a variety of gorgeous or fresh dresses.

It's really full of youthful atmosphere~ Emma looked around with great interest after taking her seat.

Harry's partner was an Indian girl she didn't know, Ron went out of nowhere, Hermione's partner. . .

God, is that Hermione!

Hermione seemed to be a different person.Her hair is no longer frizzy, but soft and shiny.Like Emma, ​​she also wore an elegant bun at the back of her head.She was wearing a light blue dress with a tight design that just revealed her slender figure.

"Draco, did you see it? That turned out to be Hermione! No wonder her dancing partner is Krum, this guy must have discovered Hermione's goddess appearance under the thick book"

Draco smiled dryly in response.

Then the warriors led their partners down the dance floor.Emma noticed that Ron didn't know when he appeared again, and he was looking at Hermione and Krum now, his face flushed from anger or other reasons.

"Young and stupid~"

Emma imitated Snape's tone and sighed.

"Yes Emma"

When Draco finally spoke, Emma turned to look at him.

"you look pretty today"

Draco, who usually has a rich vocabulary, seems to be a little poor.He looked down at the ground, and Emma suspected that he had been contemplating these words for a long time before saying them.

"Say? Thank you Draco, you are also very handsome today~"

"Emma, ​​I..."

As the students around them walked off the dance floor, Draco was cut off, stood up and held out a hand to Emma.

Emma was led off the dance floor by him, and after a few rounds she discovered that dancing was not an activity she liked very much.Soon she found a reason to leave the auditorium.

She walked alone in the rose bushes outside Hogwarts that had been conjured up to enhance the atmosphere of the ball.But after a few steps, an unpleasant familiar voice was heard.

"...don't understand why there's such a fuss, Igor"

Snape!

She always thought it was Moody who had an old relationship with him, but she didn't expect it to be Karkaroff, tsk tsk tsk.

"Severus, you can't pretend this didn't happen!" Karkaroff's voice sounded terrified and hoarse, as if afraid of being heard, "It's become more and more obvious over the past few months. I'm very worried right now and I can't deny that..."

more and more obvious?Could it be the Voldemort thing?She had indeed heard that Karkaroff was a Death Eater too.

"Run away, then," said Snape's voice impatiently. "Run away, and I'll excuse you. But I want to stay at Hogwarts."

Snape and Karkaroff turned a corner.With his wand in hand, Snape blasted the rosebush away.He had a stern face, an ugly expression.There were screams from many flowers, and several dark figures jumped out from inside.

"Ten points from Ravenclaw, Fawcett!" Snape said fiercely - as a girl ran past him, "Ten points from Hufflepuff, Stebbins!" Another boy ran after him. The girl left. "And what are you doing?" he asked, catching a glimpse of Emma's heavy gown.Compared to Snape's calmness, Karkaroff looked more flustered than Emma, ​​and his hand reflexively pulled the beard at the corner of his mouth.

"I just came out, uh, to get some air" Emma didn't know how she could have overheard such a big secret, and she didn't know how to react.

"It seems that Mr. Malfoy failed to keep you, then you can continue to breathe." A sneer flashed across Snape's face, and then he left with Karkaroff.

Emma escaped from the rose garden and returned to the auditorium as if she was amnesty.

"Emma, ​​what's wrong with you? You look like you saw Peeves come back to life." Draco thoughtfully handed her a drink.

"Fortunately, I just got a little frightened, it's not a big deal"

Emma glanced at Draco gratefully.

Draco saw that she was not interested in continuing to dance, so he rejected several Slytherin girls' invitations to dance and sat next to her.

"Emma"

He called her name in a low voice, and Emma turned her head reflexively, just in time to see his serious expression.

"Huh?" There was a little tremor in her voice, Merlin bless, he must never. . .

"I" Draco took a deep breath, as if it would give him courage, "I hope you can be my girlfriend"

This. . .

She really didn't expect Draco to fall in love with her.But after tasting his words, it is not difficult to find that this is not a confession, he may just feel happy with her and it seems that he can't find a girl who is better than her at this level.Simply put, he might just think she's a good fit.

"Draco" Although she didn't want to speak, she had to say something clearly, "I'm flattered by your proposal, but are you really sure that I'm the girlfriend you want?"

"I..." Draco frowned, "I think it should be, we get along very well, and my father also said that you are worthy of us..."

Typical teenage confusion.

Emma breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "You can see that your own tone is a little uncertain, so do you really know whether you are with me because you like it or because you think it is appropriate to be with me? ?”

"It seems to be the same from what you say..." Draco touched his chin.

"So, next time you must recognize your own heart before asking others for a relationship, Sao Nian!" Emma patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, because Draco was already taller than her, which made her complete this action It's a bit difficult to get up.

"Emma" Draco laughed suddenly, "I probably understand what you mean, but can we continue to be friends after this incident? Malfoy never gives up on friends easily."

"Uh"

Emma was caught off guard by the speed at which Draco recognized his misguided emotions.

"To our friendship!" Draco raised his glass before she knew it.

It seemed that he really understood, and Emma raised her glass in relief.

"Respect for our friendship"
