[HP] The Last Demon King

The warriors walked quickly into the auditorium amid warm applause, and their dance partners all accepted the baptism of applause with proud expressions.

The walls of the auditorium were covered with gleaming silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy hung.The four academy tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small lantern-lit tables, with a dozen or so people seated at each table.

Aritins was wearing high heels she was not used to, and walked to the guest table with Potter on her arm.

Dumbledore, Karkaroff, Maxim, and Ludo Bagman were sitting in the long chair of honor in turn, and the fifth seat that should be Barty Crouch was seated by Perry. Sy Weasley.

Weasley pulled away an empty chair beside him and looked at Potter with piercing eyes. Potter took a step forward, then stopped to look at Eridins inquiringly.

Aridins didn't care where she sat, she followed Potter and sat down next to Weasley, and after pulling her hand away from Potter's arm, she immediately treated it with a cleaning spell several times under the cover of the white tablecloth.

"I was promoted." After just looking at her questioningly, Weasley couldn't wait to say to Potter. "I am now Mr. Crouch's personal assistant and I am here on his behalf."

Eridings looked at the plate in front of her, it was shining golden, but there was no food, beside the plate was a small menu, suddenly, Eridings felt something more at her feet, looked down, it was a Watching her house-elf timidly.

"Why didn't he come?" Harry asked.

"Mr. Crouch is not in good shape, very bad. Since the World Cup, he has been out of order... But don't worry, I believe that Mr. Crouch will be back to health soon. Before that, I am very willing Catch unmanaged jobs. Of course, it's not all about dancing or anything," he said haughtily.

Eridins raised her eyes and looked at everyone at the guest table. She was the only one with a house elf beside her. She probably understood the meaning of this elf here. With the tablecloth in the way, the students below would not notice that Eridins was the only one with an "attendant".

She looked at Dumbledore, and Dumbledore winked at her slyly, and then read clearly to his plate: "Fried fried steak!"

Pork chops appeared on his plate at once, and the others followed suit, and Eridins moved her wand and wrote to the house-elf at her feet, "Snapper fried with lemon, thanks."

The house-elf showed a moved and surprised expression, "Yes, ma'am." With a snap of her fingers, the dish Eredinth wanted appeared on her plate.

People chatted while eating: Potter was being held tightly by Weasley, still listening to him babbling about work; It was the first time Rittins had seen a smile on his face; the atmosphere around them was not so pleasant, Delacour and her partner seemed to have quarreled, and neither of them was serious.

Eridins was the only one at the table who was silent, which made her seem a bit out of place, Potter seemed to notice this - or maybe he was desperate to get out of Weasley's tirade, and he started to find topics Talking to Eridings, Eridings listened casually, occasionally answering a few words, until the food was almost eaten, Dumbledore stood up and asked the students to stand up too.

With a flick of his wand, some of the tables whizzed away to the walls, leaving an open space in between.He also conjured up a high stage, attached to the base of the right wall, on which stood a drum kit, some guitars, a lute, a cello, and several organs.

Two women in tattered gowns ran onto the stage, and the audience burst into thunderous applause. Eridins looked at the expressions of the people around her and felt that she was probably the only one who didn't know who they were. , even Potter looked at them with relish.

The lanterns on the table were all extinguished, and Aridins stood up with the other warriors. Potter was a step slower, always forgetting whether he was a spectator or an actor.

The two women played a slow, sad tune, and as the protagonist of the opening dance, the warriors and their partners all stepped onto the dance floor, and Aridins saw Malfoy in the crowd surrounding them in the distance, Like a stranger, her eyes flicked across his face indifferently.

She has learned no less than [-] social dances at Selwyn Manor in the past two years. Anna is so strict that there are rules for every turning angle. .

"I'm sorry, I... I should practice more..."

After stepping on Eridence's foot again, Potter blushed to the point of burning.

The wand was put in a special place for safekeeping, and Eridins could only nod to him, expressing that she didn't care.

Finally, people began to enter, and the Warriors were no longer the center of attention: Eridins saw Moody awkwardly doing a two-step dance with Sinista, who looked nervous, afraid that Moody's artificial leg would hit him. To her; Snape was dancing a ten-year-old dance with McGonagall, both of them with serious faces, very interesting in this lively scene; and Zabini and his little girlfriend— ——His girlfriends changed so quickly that Eridins didn't want to waste energy remembering their names. The unknown girl was looking at Zabini obsessively.

In this soft and joyful atmosphere, Potter suddenly staggered towards Eridins, who caught him, but looked coldly at Malfoy and Parkinson who turned out from behind him.

Malfoy panicked for a second under her gaze, and then the anger stained his face more clearly, he just stared at Eridins with hatred, not paying attention to other things, Parkinson's expression was both shocked and sad , staring blankly at him, but Malfoy didn't even look at her.

"Malfoy—" Anger burned in Potter's eyes. He just took a step, but was pulled back by a hand—Eridins put her hand on Potter's shoulder again, and told him this with her eyes. The dance is not over yet.

Malfoy was even more angry, and he wanted to do the same trick again, but Parkinson shook off his hand, and rushed out of the dance floor with tears in his eyes.

The dance partner was gone, but Malfoy didn't restrain himself at all. Seeing his irrational eyes, Eridins knew that the farce was not over. After a while, he invited another girl from nowhere, and repeated the trick again. The girl who was invited by him was excited at first, but later she was too ashamed to even lift her face.

When the organ played the last trembling note, Aeridins put a note into Potter's hand and smiled faintly at him who was stunned.

After getting her wand back, Eridings left the Great Hall alone. The oak front door of the castle was open, and a cool breeze blew on Eridings's face, smoothing the ripples in her heart.

When Eridins walked out of the castle, the outside almost changed, there were more caves shining with fairy light in many places, roses conjured by magic on the lawn were in bloom, and there was no end to the gorgeously decorated zigzag paths. Ridings closed her eyes to smell the fragrance of flowers, but the sound of the fountain entered her ears first.

After sitting down on a stone bench opposite a fountain, Eridins quietly watched the splashing water under the moonlight.A few minutes later, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a figure came out from behind the bushes.

Malfoy looked around, and when he saw Eridins sitting on the stone bench, he immediately strode over with thunderous steps.

"Tell me, what am I sorry for you?!"

Malfoy grabbed Eridins' arm, pulled her up roughly, and yelled at her furiously, his whole face was distorted by anger: "What else should I do to satisfy you? What happened last time? Don’t care about it anymore, it’s obviously your fault—but it’s like I made a mistake, I don’t care about it anymore, what else do you want from me?! Don’t you want me to kneel down and beg you before you tell me that you are sending What is crazy?!"

"Do you know how I felt when I saw you appearing opposite the fire dragon—seeing you disappearing into the black lake, do you know my fear, do you know my feelings—you always have this indifferent expression," Mal Fu let go of her with his left hand and grabbed the robe on his chest with all his might, and Eridins saw his hands trembling.

"Do you know what heartache feels like? Selwyn, do you really have a heart—?" Malfoy's voice dropped, hoarse, and his blue-gray eyes were full of pain.

When he stopped roaring in front of her, the world became as quiet as if soaked in water, and the splashing water from the fountain turned into a thin layer of mist under the moon.Malfoy was behind this fog, obviously very close, yet very far away.

Eridins looked at him calmly: "Do you feel wronged?"

Malfoy kept his mouth shut, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Do you think you have done enough? Do you feel that your sincerity has been trampled on?" Eridins stood under the fountain, and the moonlight shone on her silver fishtail skirt, sparkling.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, and neither of them backed down.

"You have indeed done a lot for me." Before Malfoy could speak, the words changed rapidly: "You took me to see the snow—you gave me my birthday, you held me—hugged me——" Eridins After a pause, he looked at Malfoy deeply, and wrote the second half of the sentence: "Cover me up like a dirty thing."

"It was you who kissed me, and it was you who pushed me away for fear of being seen by others. It was you who saved me, and you agreed that I was my bed partner, and it was you who compared me to a pizza girl—" Eridins looked Looking at him, there was no trace of anger or resentment from the beginning to the end.

"You never really put me on an equal footing with you. You look down on me—but you have the nerve to say that you treat me with all your heart."

"I know the feeling of heartache, you gave it to me."

Aridins lowered her wand.

The lonely night wind blew the last fragrance of roses, and the moonlight shone firmly and gently on Hogwarts, as well as on Malfoy's pale face.
