[HP] The Last Demon King

On Christmas Day, the castle was full of joyous atmosphere, except for those lower grade students who were under the fourth grade and could not find anyone to take them to the dance. Their gloomy faces could be seen in the crowd at a glance. .

This year Eridings still received a lot of gifts, including Malfoy's - he put the pocket watch that Arnold gave her in a box and sent it back to Eridings, it seems that the dance partner made him angry It's not easy.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when most of the girls had been ready for three hours, Eridins returned to her bedroom from the library to get ready to change her dress.

Meanwhile, one person in Gryffindor is in dire straits.

"Give me a cutting spell - do you think this would be better?" Ron put his hands in front of Harry morosely in a dress-like gown - it was all ruffles and lace, and it was Wayne. Mrs. Sly found it for him in a thrift store.

Harry absent-mindedly cast a cutting spell on his two sleeves, but the work was not done very well, and there were still a lot of rough edges on it. He glanced at Ron guilty, but luckily Ron didn't care— —Compared with this dress gown from 50 years ago, no one will pay attention to a little raw edge.

Ron was still dejected by the dress when they started down the stairs.

"Then—" He turned to Harry to divert his attention, "It's about time, you should tell me who your dancing partner is?"

"Uh——" Harry opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say the name. He thought it was because even he couldn't accept the reality.

"Come on - Hermione is like this, and so are you? Are you all determined not to tell me anything and keep me in the dark?" Ron said angrily.

"If you promise not to get mad at me for it..." said Harry.

"I promise!" Ron immediately raised his hand and promised, "Even if you tell me your partner is Malfoy, I will never be angry—" Seeing Harry's face, Ron lowered his hand in embarrassment, and added : "Well... I'm joking."

"Actually, it's not far behind." Harry avoided Ron's sight and said guiltily, "It's... Selwyn."

"Selwyn?" Ron exclaimed exaggeratedly, Harry quickly covered his mouth, and smiled awkwardly at the others who looked over.

When he let go, Ron immediately called out: "Are you kidding me?"

Harry frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You won't be angry because of it!"

"Oh, hell - but that's -" Ron took a few deep breaths, trying to collect himself, then looked at Harry. "Okay - I won't be mad. When did you guys get together?"

"Actually—I've been teaching her Parseltongue since a month ago—and you know, she gave me back the Marauder's Map."

"Yeah, we know that Hermione had a big fight with you about it." Ron nodded, "But what I'm asking is when...you know what I mean, Harry?"

"Oh no! We didn't," said Harry angrily.

"Then why haven't you told me?"

"If it were you, would you say that?" Harry asked rhetorically.

"I—Of course I..." Ron was discouraged: "Okay." He added unwillingly: "But Selwyn won't invite me either—dude, did she invite you? ? Don’t tell me you invited her, then I will say you must be crazy... But Selwyn has no reason to invite you? Doesn’t she only see Malfoy?”

"She invited me," said Harry.

Ron said: "But - I still don't get it, man, why did you say yes to her? Did you go to Cho Chang? You can't be too shocked by her rejection, and your head is not clear for a while." Bar?"

"Uh..." Harry stammered, "Actually, she came to me and asked if I had a prom date..." Ron's eyes widened, and Harry continued, "I told her I've already Found a partner."

"Oh, you're crazy." Ron exclaimed under his breath.

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Forget it...Let's open it up a bit, although I don't like Selwyn, but in all fairness, she's a little worse than Fleur...just enough to be angry with Malfoy—God, it turns out that Malfoy has been with Malfoy these days A menopausal old woman is also because of this!"

"Thank you." Harry looked gratefully at Ron who in turn comforted him. It had to be said that Ron's understanding made him feel less guilty these days.

The foyer was full of students, they were all waiting for the eight o'clock dance to start, many people crowded around in the crowd, looking for their own dance partners from different houses, Ron was going to find his own Hufflepuff partner, he shot Patting Harry on the shoulder, he said sympathetically, "Think about how to explain it to Hermione later, when she sees you dancing with a girl who slapped her—oh, it's hard enough to think about."

It looked like he had completely forgotten about his robes, and Harry hoped he'd stay in that cheerful mood for a while longer.

After Ron left, Harry also began to look around in the crowd, looking for Eridins, there were too many people...Harry couldn't imagine people's reaction when they saw his partner...he had expected that The scene is a little scary.

In the crowd he saw Fleur Delacour, on her arm the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, Roger Davies, stunningly beautiful in a gown of silver-gray smooth satin; There was Qiu Zhang, who had secretly expressed the hope that Harry would invite her to the dance. At this moment, she was walking beside Cedric Diggory, who had defeated Harry in the Quidditch match. The two were chatting and laughing. Unbelievably, Harry felt that there was no ripple in his heart. He was now focused on knowing where his partner was.

Harry looked between them as a group of Slytherins came up the steps from their basement common room, led by Malfoy in a velvet dress He was wearing a dress robe, and beside him was Pansy Parkinson, who was holding his arm tightly, wearing a light pink robe full of frills.

Crabbe and Goyle were both green like two mossy boulders, and Harry was satisfied that neither of them could find a partner.

Malfoy caught Harry's gaze and gave him a stern look, as if he wanted to come over, but was pulled back by Parkinson beside him.

Harry didn't mind his staring a few more times, he was like a drowned puppy in Harry's eyes now, and Harry didn't bother to argue with him.

Many people came up to ask Harry who his dancing partner was, but he reluctantly shrugged it off. At this moment, the oak front door of the castle opened, and Durmstrang's students walked in together with Professor Karkaroff.

Over their heads, Harry saw that a lawn in front of the castle had been turned into a grotto, and that it was dotted with fairy lights - which meant that there were hundreds of living fairies, sitting or sitting on magically conjured fairies. Among the rose bushes, or flapping their wings over statues that appear to be Santa Claus and his reindeer - Hogwarts has really worked hard at this Yule Ball.

Harry stood where he was, growing more and more anxious. He began to wonder if Eridins had regretted it again and decided not to come to the ball—but Professor McGonagall said it was compulsory... Could it be Snape? Didn't tell her about it?

Suddenly, there was an unusual commotion in the crowd. Harry looked impatiently and saw the people he was waiting for were slowly walking up the steps from their common room.

He could barely take his eyes away - Harry was starting to regret why he hadn't been more cautious before going out?He should iron the dress robe he just took out of the suitcase, and maybe he should ask someone to cut his hair, or... whatever, as long as it makes him a little more handsome.

Eridins was wearing a silver mermaid dress that just outlined her slim figure, and her curly black hair, which was always loose, was loosely pulled up at this time. She couldn't even find a piece of jewelry on her body, but the silver made her Her skin was as delicate and transparent as finely carved jade. At this moment, Eridins was like a shining mermaid in the deep sea, lazy and charming.

Under the eyes of everyone, Eridins walked towards him, "Am I late?"

He heard a sound of breathing around him, and he could only reply dryly: "No...you're here."

It was only after Aritins approached that Harry realized that the most important thing he should have prepared in advance was the booster mat.Delacour also wore high heels, but Davis was quite a bit taller than her; but Harry was as tall as his partner—

Harry had never been more concerned about his development than he was now - even though his height was perfectly normal for his age.

Aridins looked away from his face, and Harry tried desperately to say something, but he didn't feel like his body was his anymore, and the only thing he could feel was his burning face.

Professor McGonagall's voice saved him, and she shouted through the crowd, "Warriors, please come this way!"

Harry immediately walked forward with a dull head, until a line of small words appeared in front of him: "Sorry, can you slow down? I'm not used to wearing high heels yet."

Harry stopped quickly, waiting for Eridins: "I'm sorry—I—"

"It's ok."

The crowd flashed a passage for the warriors to pass through.

Professor McGonagall wore a red tartan robe with an ugly thistle wreath on the brim of his hat.She told them to stand by the door and wait for the others to go in first.After the students were all seated, they lined up and walked into the auditorium.

Harry saw Hermione - not in the crowd, but next to Krum, who turned out to be Krum's partner -

Both Harry and Hermione stared blankly at each other. It was hard to say who was better than the other, but Hermione was quicker to react. She looked at Harry in shock, looking betrayed: "Harry, you—"

"Hello, Hermione." Harry guiltily avoided Hermione's angry gaze, so that he just caught Roger Davis's gaze. He had always been staring at Fleur, but now he couldn't take his eyes off her. She was looking at Eridings—Fleur had noticed too, and that's why the bright smile on her face disappeared—Fleur, now that Fleur and Eridings were in the same frame, Harry thought he would never see him again I agree with Ron's words. Fleur was dressed like a fairy today, but as soon as she stood next to Eridins, Harry immediately felt that she was full of fireworks, and even the exquisite and meticulous makeup became her Too much evidence.

The door of the auditorium opened, and the prom students filed in before the warriors, and the members of the Krum Club strode past, all casting hateful glances at Hermione; Pansy Parkinson took Mal Fow's arm swaggered past, Malfoy's face was so gloomy that he didn't even look at them.

When the students had all entered the auditorium, Professor McGonagall ordered the warriors and their partners to line up two by two, and followed her in.

Eridins raised her arms and looked at Harry, "Excuse me?"

Harry came back to his senses, and quickly raised his arm to let her hold it, maybe it was too close, Harry's heart was like a wild horse that was running wild, he just noticed at this time, Eridins The back of the dress is a deep V, and he can see the looming skin of Eridins' back when he turns his head - he feels that his nose is also a little out of control, hot, as if something is about to flow out, Harry dare not Look again, staring at the front quickly and intently.
