Ravenclaw's Sapphire

Krum didn’t know Zooey, but of course he didn’t mind saying hello to her. "Is this your friend, Hermion?" He spoke in a thick nasal voice, and couldn't pronounce Hermione's name correctly. He didn't notice that Hermione was uncomfortable, but Zoe nodded at him. "We have a very good relationship, very close." Zooey emphasized the last few syllables and stretched out her hand.

Krum shook hands with her: "Victor Krum. You are beautiful, did Potter invite you?" Zooey glanced at Hermione and shrugged, "No, I took the initiative He was invited." Krum shook his head with a look of disbelief. "You must be joking."

"Obviously...not." Zoe took Harry's arm for the first time, showing an intimate attitude, "You have to agree that he was very brave against the Hungarian Horntail, and when we were not in school We met." She carefully observed Hermione's every move, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she raised her eyebrows and showed obvious displeasure.

Harry was more uncomfortable than Zooey, even if what Zooey said was true, the first impression between them was abysmal, not a daydream story like she deliberately left blank.He also noticed that Hermione frowned at him, showing a disgusted attitude. Although she quickly hid the discomfort, when Harry turned to face Professor McGonagall, he could still feel the stern gaze Stab from behind.

Professor McGonagall asked them to wait here for a while, and they could not enter until all the students had entered.The warriors and their dance partners entered the arena, and Professor McGonagall led them to a large round table at the front of the auditorium, where the referee and the principals of each school were also sitting. When they entered the arena, other students cheered. Come on.

Zoe met Dumbledore's eyes, he didn't seem surprised at her choice of Harry, he still nodded to her with a smile, but Zoe felt a rush of heat On the top of her head, she forgot to envision what she would do and say when she met Dumbledore, and even though she knew Dumbledore would definitely support her, she still felt very embarrassed.

But seats were limited, and she eventually found that she had to take the seat next to Dumbledore, and on the other side was Harry, next to a young wizard in a brand new navy blue gown with a smug attitude.

"Don't you need to say something tonight, Dumbledore?" Zooey hurriedly said before Dumbledore could speak.

"That's a little ignorant, everyone wants to have a meal and then start dancing." Dumbledore blinked, "You are very well dressed, Zoe." He looked at Zoe with relief, "You really are grown up."

"Well, okay, thank you." Zooey forcibly endured the restlessness in her heart. She wanted to avoid Dumbledore, but she was happy because of his words, as if the admission she had always wanted finally came from his mouth came out the same.

"Then let me first wish you a happy time at the dance." Dumbledore smiled and looked at Zoe, then at Harry, and before Zoe started to get up and leave again, he took the lead. Stopped this topic.

When everyone was seated, Dumbledore held up the menu in front of him, and clearly said "pork chops" to his plate, and then this dish appeared on his plate in an instant.The effect of this demonstration was very good, and everyone began to follow his example.Zoe could predict that tonight's kitchen would be busier than any previous dinner party. Before, the elves could do a good job and send it up together, but now they have to take care of everyone's feelings.

However, this novel way of dining really made everyone present (especially the students) more excited. There is a whole menu for you to mix and match freely, and just like Halloween, there are many foreign specialties in it. Dining tastes of Sparton and Durmstrang students.

"Don't you want to eat any more?" Harry noticed that Zoe was chewing the beef in front of him in small bites. The plate was almost finished, but that was because she only ordered half of it.

"I didn't come here to eat, Potter." Zooey's voice was a little low, "It's not easy to digest if you eat too much, imagine you are dancing and suddenly spit out everything you ate... ..." She stopped talking, but Harry didn't want to hear any more.

Zooey looked at Hermione on the left. She was listening to Krum, telling some interesting stories about his time in Durmstrang, but she was a little absent-minded, although she had tried her best to concentrate.Zooey understands that this situation beyond Hermione's expectations will cause her to fall into chaos, and it will also make her not know how to deal with it. Zooey also does not want to give Hermione more room to struggle and think when doing the next thing .

After eating, Dumbledore removed the tables and chairs in the auditorium and piled them on the other side. He set up the stage, and several wildly dressed witches flocked to the place where drum kits, guitars, On the stage of lute, cello and several organs, they dressed themselves like wildlings, with thick hair and ripped clothes on purpose.

When the Weird Sisters (also a well-known band on wizarding radio) began to play the first track, the slow and sad melody blew, Zoe pulled Harry onto the dance floor, and she noticed that Hermione They also entered. "Come closer to that later, Potter," she said softly, frowning as Harry put his hand awkwardly on her waist.

"What, what?" Harry was obviously in a daze, and didn't hear what she said at all. When Zooey held his hand, he even flinched back, and he didn't dare to look into Zooey's eyes at all.

"I'll tell you to jump and walk towards Hermione later, are your ears just for display!" Zooey cursed Krum in her heart, she tilted her head and kept staring at the other side. "Why is this?" Harry lowered his voice, but when Zoe guided his dance steps, he had already started to do what she said.

"Nonsense. Don't you think that there are only four groups of us, and we will monopolize the whole dance." Zoe ignored all the shouts in her ears, and gritted her teeth, "In about a little while, those people It's coming in. If we don't get closer now, I might lose track of Hermione later."

Although she was doing an elegant dance, Harry always felt that Zoe was discussing hunting precautions with him. "You can dance?" Just saying "can" is an inappropriate description. Zoe can even guide without leaving a trace. She steps, changes directions, and rotates to the rhythm of the music, making those onlookers dance. All eyes are attracted.

"Don't you practice your dance steps before you start? Your movements look like a black-haired gorilla that hasn't shed its hair, or do you prefer the title of a crab that walks sideways?" Although Zoe knew it herself, She was able to master these so quickly, all because of her own experience, and she didn't know whether she should curse or be thankful.

"Neither, thank you." Harry felt a little more natural, perhaps because he was being ridiculed by Zooey while dancing, which made him find the familiarity when getting along with Zooey. At least the girl in front of him was no longer a An undecipherable monster, but indeed his classmate and half acquaintance.

Less than half a minute after the music started, other people entered the dance floor one after another. The dance floor, which seemed empty at first, suddenly became crowded, not only the students of Hogwarts, but also Beauxbatons and Durmster. The figures of Lang's boys and girls also appear and disappear from time to time, and their costumes that are different from those of the Hogwarts students form a strange landscape, which is also extraordinarily harmonious.

Not only the students, but also the professors somewhat lost their previous seriousness in front of this grand event. Even Professor McGonagall wore a long colorful hat.Dumbledore gentlemanly invited Mrs. Maxime into the arena. Although the latter was half as tall as Dumbledore, she did not give people a rough or huge rough feeling, but danced enough Noble and graceful dance steps.Hagrid watched her back with admiration.

Instead of dancing, Snape sat sternly in the corner, as if even such a boisterous and cheerful scene couldn't warm a heart of stone (of course he wasn't the most gregarious, Barbara wasn't at all was not present).He didn't even change into a tuxedo, but still wore the black robe.Few people on this occasion noticed the scene of Karkaroff leaning towards him, with vigilance, anxiety and a little flattery.Snape frowned unhappily when he saw Karkaroff.

But what happened around here, or what was about to happen, had nothing to do with Zoe at this time. All that remained in her eyes was the figure of someone who was gradually enlarging, and her determination to break the boat.When Zoe and the others were within two arms' distance of Hermione and the others, the tune of the Weird Sisters changed, and the fast-paced music immediately replaced the previous long and sad style.
