Astoria Greengrass looked at her sister's back with some confusion.

"Am I saying something wrong?" she asked Jon with tears in her eyes.

"It's none of your business. Jon said calmly, "Maybe your sister hates me too much and doesn't want to be with us." ”

The expression on Astoria's face was a little disbelieving, but she nodded obediently.

"Let's go to the garden outside, then!" Astoria suggested.

"Yes!" Jon nodded.

Both men stood up, butterbeer in their hands.

Jon looked around curiously, there was no one at the guest of honor table now.

Professor Dumbledore was dancing with Professor Sproutney, Ludo Bagman was dancing with Professor McGonagall, and Madame Maxime and Hagrid were waltzing between the students, as if two humanoid flesh bullets were colliding with each other......

At the end of another song, everyone applauded again, and Ludo Bagman even kissed Professor McGonagall on the hand...... Creeps Jon again.

......

The surrounding situation does not seem to be very harmonious.

Just to their left, Hermione Granger was pointing at Ron Weasley's nose and cursing at what was written.

She looked furious, her voice trembling a little, her hair falling out of her elegant bun, and her face twisted with anger...... This action made her appearance drop by several points.

Harry Potter stood a little lonely beside his two friends, and the expression in his eyes was only indescribable loneliness...... Cho-Chang wasn't with him, and Jon glanced around, but found no sign of her in the ballroom.

The most bizarre of all is Fleur Delacour, who angrily finds Ravenclaw's Quidditch captain, Roger Davis...... Poor Davis, as if seduced by her, followed her like a loyal dog, babbling and moaning, unable to utter even a complete sentence.

As they rubbed shoulders with Jon and Astoria, Fleur glared at them viciously, as if it was all their fault.

Doesn't it seem that the current situation of the other three groups of dance partners except for myself is not wonderful......

Astoria suddenly smiled happily, reaching out and grabbing Jon's hand, and grimacing at Fleur childishly.

Jon couldn't help but feel a moment of silence for Roger Davis......

......

The two walked to the foyer.

Jon then sees Ludo Bagman talking to Percy Weasley.

Bagman said happily, "It's so much fun! What is old Barty doing? It's a pity that he can't come." ”

"I'm sure Mr. Crouch will be back to health soon!" Percy Weasley said with a serious face, "He's been in some trouble lately, and he hasn't been to the Ministry of Magic for a few weeks...... However, he is still sick and sends owls to write to me every day to arrange the work of the division, and this spirit is really admirable!"

The two members of the Ministry of Magic didn't notice them, and Jon and Astoria walked out of the foyer around the dance floor.

The front door was open, and as they descended the steps, they saw a glint of light everywhere in the rose garden. Surrounded by low bushes, richly decorated winding paths, and huge stone statues, Jon could hear the clatter of splashing water, and somehow another fountain somehow appeared.

"The set is awesome, isn't it?" said Astoria with a smile, surveying the surrounding garden.

"yes!" Jon nodded, "But I think ......"

Suddenly, there was a scrambled footsteps ahead, disrupting the conversation between them.

A familiar face appeared in front of him...... The hideous face looked especially terrifying in the dark night, and the terrible white eyeballs kept walking in all directions.

Hart...... And, Greengrass?"

Alastor Moody lowered the sleeve of his right hand and glanced at them both with some wariness, and at the same time, he quickly took out the kettle tied around his neck and poured the contents into his mouth.

"Professor Moody......" Astoria said slightly nervously.

"I'm patrolling around here!" said Mad-Eye Moody, with a solemn face, "at this time of revelry, which is often the most dangerous...... Because this is often the time of the most lax, the dark wizard is likely to take advantage of this opportunity to attack!"

As he spoke, Moody buttoned up the sleeve of his right arm and strode away, "I need to go to the Forbidden Forest to have a look...... This is the most likely place for the Dark Wizard to attack Hogwarts. ”

Looking at the figure of the mad-eyed Moody in the distance, Astoria suddenly realized: "What Professor Moody said makes sense...... The last time the Quidditch World Cup final was over, it was when the Death Eaters suddenly rioted!"

"yes!" Jon nodded outwardly, but inwardly complained...... Of course it makes sense, the riot in the World Cup was caused by him.

......

The sudden appearance of Mad-Eye Moody didn't really bother them.

Jon and Astoria found a smooth rock, and the two of them sat next to each other.

Jon deliberately listened to his surroundings, not hearing Snape and Karkaroff, nor Hagrid or Madame Maxime...... This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Astoria suddenly turned around, stroked Jon's collar, and whispered, "Tell you a secret......"

"You gave me this tuxedo?" Jon said with a smile as he looked Astoria in the eye.

In fact, he had already guessed a little, because he didn't find a gift signed by Astoria, which was unreasonable...... So one of the three unsigned gifts was almost certainly given to herself by her.

And the egg of the fiery snake and the book "Secrets of Cutting-edge Dark Magic" are very unlikely to come from Astoria.

"yes......" Astoria nodded, "Professor Dumbledore won't let me tell you in advance that I'm a dance partner, so I didn't write my name on it." ”

"Thank you!" Jon said as he stroked her hair.

"Actually, I'm very happy that you're wearing it!" Astoria lowered her head, her voice as small as a mosquito, "I thought I was doing badly, badly, you wouldn't look down on it......"

"Wait, you made it yourself?" Jon shouted in surprise.

He suddenly remembered that on the train to Hogwarts, he saw Astoria sewing something in his hand.

"yes...... My sister also helped a little. She nodded earnestly: "It took me a summer vacation and September and October to ...... it."

The girl's voice suddenly became a little low: "I was going to give it to you myself when I first went to Hogsmeade...... Outcome...... Results ......"

The more she spoke, the more crying there was in her voice.

"I'm sorry......" Jon said, a little ashamed.

Jon hugged her tightly and turned his head......

He got close to the girl's face, and the two of them got closer and closer......

The girl's red lips seem to have become the most wonderful temptation.

The girl's breathing became rapid, but she didn't dodge......

"Jon......" only to hear her whisper.

Then, there was no sound.
