After a few minutes of dancing, the people on the dance floor became less inhibited. But more people probably thought that Snape dancing was something that was never seen before, so many people stopped and stood by just to see the two of them dancing together.
Willow Spring's dark blue skirt fluttered lightly to the melody, and the slanted shoulders, the wide belt that corset the waist, and the design with a long streamer behind the shoulders all set off her elegance and touch. The veil-like ribbon fluttered behind her as she danced, the gleaming hem of her skirt fluttering against the hem of Snape's black robes, looking like a splash of water under a starry night over the rolling black waves.
They were a little rusty at first, and even Dumbledore pretended to be sad and leaned over to ask the little Charms professor Flitwick "Is there any spell that can be put on the leg to make people dance instantly, Severus looks like he needs one".
However, as the dance progressed, the cooperation between them became more and more proficient, and even when Snape occasionally stepped on the wrong step, Willow Spring was able to hold his upper arm in time and use his strength to avoid it with a small jump, making this mistake seem to be just an ingenious little design between the dance partners.
Snape's expression, while no longer gritting his teeth, was by no means pretty. His face tensed, his chin slightly raised, his eyes staring down at his dancing partner, his big nose looking even meaner.
His sleeves covered his palms as always, revealing only ten fingers, but he only clasped Willow Spring's hands and waist tightly with the tip of the first knuckle of each finger, as if he wanted to avoid too much physical contact with his dance partner. He danced stiffly (the Weasley twins whispered "like those mummies we saw in Egypt last year moving!"), but he didn't throw his unfortunate dance partner out or trip over the air as everyone might think.
His dance partner, Lily Evans, a beloved Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts, was much more relaxed than him. Her gaze lowered slightly, as if consciously or unconsciously avoiding making eye contact with Snape's, but it didn't seem rude, as if she had to keep an eye on their feet because she was too nervous about her dance steps. The long red curls that were pulled up at the back of the head were loosely tied into a bun, and a few strands of broken hair hung down haphazardly. She didn't wear any jewelry because she was wearing a slanted shoulder gown, but it looked like the beautifully crafted and cleverly designed dark blue dress was enough to steal the show.
"Weird Sisters" continued to sing with great devotion on stage, as if they were completely unaffected by the eerie atmosphere on the dance floor:
“'taskas
'w
i'waiting
...”
The wonderful lyrics mention mistletoe. It may have been a reminder of Snape, causing him some unpleasant associations, the muscles of his face twitching slightly, and the inaccessible notch on his brow deepened. He gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, "...... Who the hell chose such a song!Dumbledore must have done it on purpose......"
Liu Quan was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to laugh a little.
She didn't have much research on pop music in the wizarding world, and she thought that the "Weird Sisters" were the kind of rock group similar to those found in the Muggle world. What's more, in the first few songs tonight, the "Weird Sisters" have been singing and rocking like crazy, and the little wizards in the audience are like those teenage fans in the Muggle world who are crazy to sway to the rhythm of the stage, which further deepens her impression. But who knew that they would suddenly have a sense of humor and start singing a slower-paced song?
In fact, this kind of song combination is understandable. In his previous life, Liu Quan also participated in several dance parties organized by groups such as sorority parties in school, and it was also a few fast songs with a few slow songs, so that it was convenient for everyone to change the rhythm as a rest when they were tired of dancing, and secondly, it could also provide opportunities for young boys and girls who had just looked at each other at the dance party to dance intimately with their waists and shoulders, so as to properly warm up the warm and ambiguous atmosphere in the venue.
I just didn't expect the wizarding world to be like this.
And, the bad lyrics are still to come.
“'ight
sotight
recanido
asisyou...”
Snape's back was almost straight and wanted to snap backwards. He almost shook off her hand every time he heard such a terrible lyric. This is a tragedy that cannot be saved by a miracle elixir.
Liu Quan sighed secretly and said softly, "...... If you don't like the song, you can use the 'Listen with Earbuds Closed' spell. ”
Snape was stunned, and realized that Willow Spring was actually joking, and his face became even more ugly.
"I have the stamina to last this stupid and pathetic song, Miss Impostor. He replied stiffly, his face gloomy, and his steps were stiff and heavy, as if he were kicking a straight step.
Willow Springs, trying to match his increasingly heavy and unhappy footsteps, swirled in a round circle with his gesture, then turned back again, and put his left hand on his back again.
His body seemed to tremble very invisibly from the touch.
The group of unknown guys on the stage were still singing:
“allthelightsareshiningsobrightlyeverywhere
and'rfillstheair
issinging
ihearthosesleighbellsringing
'd-
'tyoupme...”
"Think of the horns of the horned camel, Severus. Willow Quan smiled crookedly as he reminded the gloomy wizard in front of him.
Snape muttered, "I don't think even the horns of the horns are worth the sacrifice—"
"People sometimes have to do a loss-making business once or twice once in a while. Liu Quan was not angry at all, but leaned forward slightly with the melody, and the tip of his nose almost touched his big nose. Snape looked startled, and his whole face quickly sank, so black that it couldn't have been darker.
"Miss Impostor, be careful how you behave ......" he whispered.
Probably because he knew that Dumbledore was behind her, and that Snape probably wouldn't openly embarrass her in front of all the teachers and students of the three schools—perhaps also because of the miraculous effects of the elixir—Willow felt that his instincts were extraordinarily sharp at this moment, and his confidence was bursting, and his courage was magnified tenfold.
She ignored his warning, and had no intention of closing the distance between them, and looked up at his face with a smile.
"I thought that no matter how incorrigible a liar was, he deserved a wonderful Christmas Eve. She said in a low and clear voice, breath gently blowing across his stern-looking face.
“'as

…… The Weird Sisters had finally finished singing the long, ridiculous Christmas song that seemed to Snape to be unfinished in his lifetime.
Almost the next moment, the whole hall burst into applause—the kind of applause that rings at the end of every song, but Snape has the illusion of being infuriating, as if the applause at the end of the song was more intense than at any other time.
He felt that the black expression that he had barely equipped on his face was about to crack. At that moment, he let go of the imposter's hand almost immediately, and with a sharp turn, he was walking to the sideline in a black robe—unbearable to be in the middle of the dance floor for another second.
He was greeted by enthusiastic smiles and even more enthusiastic applause from Dumbledore and the other professors. It all made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Dumbledore exclaimed, "Oh, what a wonderful song! Is it a new song from the Weird Sisters?
Professor Flitwick happily added, "No, I heard that they learned the most popular new song of the year from the Muggle world. ”
Liu Quan thought: ...... Ah, my impression is correct. The song of the queen of heaven has been selling well for more than ten years...... So what the hell is this?,Is the merging of unstable worlds to produce this plot?Or is it a meme deliberately set up by the original author of the same people because he likes this song of the queen too much?
Then she saw Snape's darkened face and coughed, intending to make a round and forget about it—and the song—about it. However, before she could speak, Headmaster Karkaroff, who had always clasped his hands in front of his chest and always had a slightly vicious smile, suddenly tilted his lips to reveal a slightly distorted smile, and said, "Professor Evans seems to want to say something—though, it's just a Muggle song, is Professor Evans worried that it will pollute all the little wizards here?"
Liu Quan's body trembled, and he felt a wave of disgust at his words and tone.
This man was a Death Eater through and through, just listen to the tone in which he said the words "Muggle" and "Pollution"! But what was it about him saying good things about "a Muggle song"?
Liu Quan's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly returned to his original expression, and he couldn't decide for a while whether to go back with sarcasm or to endure his anger and be silent.
At this time, Snape, who was standing between her and Karkaroff, suddenly spoke coldly.
"The first time I've heard the myth that singing a song can taint a wizard's bloodline. If this theory is true, it is a remarkable discovery, and it may be worth awarding a Merlin Medal...... Let's listen to it. His dark eyes turned expressionlessly in Karkaroff's direction, glanced at him, and added coldly: "I'm looking forward to it." ”
Now the scene was completely frozen. Dumbledore hurried to the rescue, he chuckled in disguise, "Philius, don't you have a song for you too, let's take a look at your wonderful singing skills—" and immediately led the audience to applaud.
Professor Flitwick saw the opportunity, and immediately walked up to the band, climbed up to the high podium, bowed to the dance floor, and turned to face the band, and with a wave of his wand, a long page of glittering sheet music appeared in front of the band, floating in mid-air, emitting a soft and pleasant pale golden light.
