The band began to play, and Professor Flitwick seemed to have almost immediately forgotten about the little unpleasantness he had just had. He quickly cleared his throat and sang aloud with great emotion to the melodious accompaniment of the saxophone.

“you'hout,you'cry

you'pout,i'mtellingyouwhy

wn!”

Oh, it's over. Liu Quan couldn't help but close his eyes.

Almost at the same time, Snape's body froze as if he had been under a petrification spell.

Then, without saying a word, he suddenly turned around and walked straight towards the door of the Great Hall.

Both Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looked surprised, and Professor McGonagall even shouted, "Severus, where are you going?"

Snape's black-robed back didn't pause at all, only coldly dropped a word: "Night Watch." ”

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Willow Spring, who had opened his eyes on the sidelines.

Liu Quan smiled bitterly and spread his hands to them, expressing helplessness.

She wasn't prepared to explain why Snape fled the Great Hall as soon as she heard the song. Do you want to say, "Oh, Mr. George Weasley invited me to be his dance partner after Potions class that day, and Severus scolded me for it, and then I deliberately sang this song with Armor in order to get angry with the little lions of the academy who were almost deducted points for some reason, and in turn invited him to be a dance partner to attend the Christmas party with me"?!

Unaware, Professor McGonagall looked at her sympathetically, with a look in her eyes that almost sounded like "Oh boy, I'm sorry he left you alone so ungentlemanly", as if ignoring the fact that she and Snape weren't at tonight's Ball, as if they weren't dancing together at tonight's Ball.

Dumbledore, who was in the know, only shrugged his shoulders and said to Willow Spring, "Oh, Lily, I think Severus forgot that I hadn't given him the horns of the horned camel...... I am very pleased that our school has such a strong sense of responsibility. Oh hehe...... So since he's busy patrolling the night, I think it's up to you to complete the task of giving him this thing. It's on a shelf in the headmaster's room, and once you're inside, a flying spell will do the trick...... Today's mantra is 'mead'. ”

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and found that the old wizard squeezed his eyes at her again, and then glanced at the wine glass she had used before. Thinking of the word "elixir" that Dumbledore had emphasized to her before, what else could not be sure of?

She stammered for a moment, then burst out laughing, nodded, and said, "I'd love to, Professor Dumbledore." ”

She didn't finish Professor Flitwick's emotional introductory singing, and hurried through the crowd around the corner of the wall toward the outside of the Great Hall.

Behind her, the tiny Professor Flitwick swayed his body and reveled in the microphone in front of him, which was several sizes smaller than his size, mimicking the muggle jazz singer's hoarse voice and warm and smiling style.

“he's

afindoutwho'

wn!”

......

Liu Quan climbed up to the eighth floor and said "mead" to the surprisingly ugly stone beast guarding the door at the door of the principal's office, and the stone beast snorted and slid to the side.

Liu Quan entered the principal's room, and there was no one in the row of frames of the former principal on the wall, and most of them had gone downstairs to join the party. Only Phineas Nigelus Black was still in his frame. When he saw her come in, he sniffled in disgust and said, "Yo, look who's here? Gryffindor, that Muggle seed!"

Ignoring him, Liu Quan drew his wand and shouted, "The horns of the horned camel beast are flying!", and a strange curved horn flew out of the corner and nailed her face.

Willow Springs, leaning over the horn in his left hand, nodded at the portrait of Phineas Nigelus, and said perfunctorily, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Black." "I'm going to go out.

Who knew that the old wizard who had eyes as arrogant as he looked at her suddenly stopped her, and when she stopped and turned around, he refused to speak.

If it was in normal times, probably Liu Quan would have waited patiently for him to speak. But tonight was different, Snape quickly ran away from the table after listening to that terrible Christmas song, and Dumbledore gave her a perfect excuse to chase him, and she couldn't wait for him to make some worse decision before catching up - that's not the way a good player does, is it?

So she stared at the portrait of Phineas Nigelus a little anxiously, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything I can do to help you, Mr. Black?"

Phineas Nigelus blushed a little with annoyance at her unspoken urging, but perhaps because the question he was about to ask was difficult to get into his mouth—he finally asked, as if nothing had happened, "How's the ball?"

Liu Quan nodded inexplicably, not knowing why he suddenly inquired about this. If he wants to go to the ball, he can go downstairs with the other portraits to the Great Hall, which also has frames on the walls that they can visit, and they can stay there and look at the ball.

Phineas Nigelus didn't wait for any further explanations, but raised his eyebrows in annoyance, and asked again as if pretending to be inadvertent...... You didn't dance with Siris?"

"Siris?" Willow Springs, then, reacted.

Since escaping from prison in Azkaban last year, Siris Black has been reinstated soon after being caught. Although Peter Pediró, the true culprit of the whistleblower, later learned from him and escaped from prison using the methods of the Animagus, and his whereabouts are now unknown, it does not damage his reputation as a tragic hero.

He is now returning to his old job as an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and he was also stationed at Hogwarts as an Auror sent by the Ministry of Magic to work as a guard during the Triwizard Tournament, so he naturally attended tonight's Ball. It's just that he is so popular that the little girls almost break their heads in order to compete for his dance partner.

Liu Quan noticed that he appeared tonight with a beautiful woman from Beauxbatons, who was not as flamboyant as Fleur, but her manners were elegant, her eyebrows were delicate, and when she smiled, she gave people a sense of spring breeze and rain, and she was very affinity.

Willow Spring, on the other hand, had basically danced two dances with Snape tonight, except for standing beside Snape and acting as a wallflower in the teacher's seat, and now had hurried to the headmaster's office to fetch the horn of the horned camel, so that she might have an excuse to go to Snape, and where would she have time to talk to Sirius. What's more, Siris had been busy dealing with those little girl admirers all night, and he didn't have time to come over and talk to Liu Quan.

So Liu Quan answered Phineas Nigelus honestly, "Your grandson is so popular, he dances with different girls all night, and he doesn't even ......have time to rest."

Phineas Nigelus interrupted her impatiently, "So that's nothing?"

Liu Quan slandered, I didn't praise your grandson for his infinite charm and sweeping the seven stars in order to tell you a negative answer euphemistically. But she didn't dare to show it on the surface, just nodded dryly and said, "...... Indeed it is. ”

Phineas Nigelus glared at her up and down as if he couldn't stand it, and snorted twice angrily, with "It's useless" written on his face—I don't know who he was thinking about was useless—a few big words, and waved his hand at her angrily, saying, "Okay, okay, I know, you can go." ”

Liu Quan left the principal's office suspiciously.

Because of such an inexplicable Q&A with Phineas Nigelus, which delayed some time, Liu Quan went down to the first floor only to find that the dance party in the auditorium had dispersed, but there were still many students in the corridor, most of them were chatting excitedly in groups of three or five, or young couples who were planning to find a place to continue to cultivate their relationship.

Willow Springs, standing still in the hallway on the first floor, looked around, but didn't see Snape. It's not curfew now, is he in the Potions office in the cellar?

Willow Springs: A trip to the Potions office, but there was no one inside. A chubby, round gentleman in a frame in a corridor on the basement level kindly told her that the Slytherin Dean had not returned.

Willow Springs' horns shrunk the horns of the horned camel, shrunk and hid them in the inner pocket of the silver-white robe he wore outside. Her evening gown was also paired with an equally beautiful silver-white hooded gown, similar to a long cloak, not only the fabric was shiny and silky like the Milky Way in the night sky, but also surrounded by dark silver piping studded with snowflake-like sequins, which was very gorgeous, and when walking in Hogwarts Castle, it attracted the attention of others from time to time.

Liu Quan regretted a little why he had spent a lot of money on such an eye-catching dress in Madame Morkin's robe shop in the first place. Perhaps she wanted to make Severus Snape, who had always been cold and arrogant to her, and would sarcastically call her an "imposter" whenever no one was around, and she would have been surprised when she first saw her dress. After all, as an "excellent player" that the system has always praised, she has repeatedly suffered setbacks in Severus Snape, which has seriously challenged her self-confidence and self-esteem as an excellent player-

But she failed.

When she slowly walked into the auditorium and walked towards the teacher's seat, he looked at her with a look or expression that was not very surprised, let alone very surprised. He just let his gaze sweep over her, as if she were dressed so brightly and was just a beautiful ornament in the Great Hall of Hogwarts tonight.

She could never win in front of him. Ever since he had discovered her true colors. Now she held the rare potion material he coveted, and it was just a dance that he could not reluctantly give.

Even what seemed like an extremely simple task in the original work could only end up in an embarrassing situation where she could only end up killing each other - but if she couldn't win his trust and a little more favor, then in those more difficult moments, those difficult moments that might only be able to survive with a little tacit understanding and trust in the dark - how could she resolutely reverse the plot of the original work, and achieve this point where it was not necessary to win in the first place. But now it's gradually becoming a matter of your own dignity and the other party's life.,So in my heart I look forward to the side quest I have to complete?!

Thinking so, Liu Quan unconsciously came to the first floor again. Although the night was dark and it was snowing a little, there were many students in the courtyard, probably trying to brave the cold in search of a little romantic atmosphere for Christmas Eve.

She suddenly saw a very familiar corner of the black robe flash behind the corner of the corridor in front of her. So he immediately took a big step to catch up.

She panted around the corner, and ran through the corridor after the figure, seeing the black-robed figure pass by the people on their backs and the idlers retreating, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, and stepped up the pace of pursuit.

Suddenly, a tall, slightly long-haired man dressed in a tartar robe appeared from the slanted thorn. He hurried straight at Snape with a clear purpose, looking as if he was intent on grabbing him.

"Severus ......"

A meal at the foot of Willow Spring.

It was Igor Karkarlov, the headmaster of Durmstrang who always had a slightly uncomfortable expression and a cold and vicious smile.
