Chapter 157: The Ballball (1400 Monthly Pass Update)
"Looks like everyone has eaten pretty much. Dumbledore stood up and shouted, "Well, the Ball!"
At Dumbledore's orders, all the students left their seats. Then Dumbledore waved his wand again, and the tables and chairs swooped and flew to the wall, leaving the hall empty.
Instead, there is a high stage attached to the base of the right wall, on which many musical instruments are placed.
At this time, the eccentric sister group appeared out of nowhere and poured onto the stage together, and the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
"Jon, that's Myron Wagtel!" Astoria took Jon's hand and introduced him, "The lead singer of the Weird Sisters!"
"Also, the white-haired one is Curley Duke, the lead guitarist, the pigtailed one is the bagpiper Gidion Crumb, and the thick-haired one is the cellist Orsino Sruston...... "Astoria clearly knew that Jon didn't know anything familiar about the wizarding world.
"Wait, I have a question!" Jon asked curiously, "Why are the weird sisters all male?"
Astoria was speechless, and she shook her head in confusion as well.
"It's time to dance!" Dumbledore walked over to them and patted Jon on the shoulder.
Jon suddenly saw that the other three pairs of warriors were all on the stage, waiting for them.
"It's time for us to get over!" Jon said quickly.
The two of them hurriedly held hands and ran onto the stage, and on the way, Astoria stepped on her skirt and almost fell, but fortunately Jon helped her in time......
......
The Strange Sisters played a slow, sad tune, and the song rang out.
Astoria kept her head down, dodging the mocking gaze of her Slytherin classmates.
Jon saw Zacharith Smith and Steven Lucas somehow slip in, and the two of them sat at a round table in the corner, munching on a shortbread and waving at him.
Professor Dumbledore's dance partner was Professor McGonagall, and the Vice Chancellor was holding hands and waltzing together.
Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were together, one tall and the other short and thin, and the contrast was simply ...... Flitwick's pointed hat had just touched Sprout's chest, and Professor Sprout was trying not to step on Professor Flitwick's foot.
Madame Maxim and Hagrid were a couple, and Hagrid was only seen looking intoxicated, but it was clear that he could not keep up with Madame Maxime. For a woman as big as Madame Maxim, her dance moves are truly elegant.
Mad-Eye Moody awkwardly two-step with Professor Sinista, who nervously dodges his wooden legs.
Professor Snape was also sitting in a corner, and Karkaroff came up to him, seemingly discussing something, but Snape paid little attention to him. As Jon observed Snape, Snape's eyes suddenly turned to him...... Jon was startled and quickly withdrew his eyes.
"Am I dancing too badly...... Astoria leans into Jon's ear, a little frustrated.
"No...... Actually, it's me!" Jon hurriedly smiled bitterly, "I don't know how to dance at all......"
"Actually, I can teach you. Astoria's face smiled again: "Come, I'll teach you how to waltz first...... Hold my waist with my right hand and my hand with my left...... Keep your left foot down, touch your toes on your toes, keep your legs straight, and don't bend your knees......"
In order to prevent others from overhearing their conversation, Astoria leaned into Jon's ear, and Jon only felt that he smelled a faint fragrance in her, intoxicating......
......
I don't know how many tunes the band played, but Jon felt his legs and feet feel a little sore.
"Why don't we take a break?" Astoria seemed to sense his exhaustion.
"Okay!" Jon nodded.
"Marry my sister!" Astoria pointed to a corner.
Jon led her out of the dance arena and towards the table where Daphne Greengrass was sitting. Passing Fred Weasley and Angelina Johnson on the way, they both jumped so vigorously that the people around them dodged backwards to avoid being bruised.
"Honestly, you're a terrible jumper!" Astoria giggled as she bypassed Fred and Angelina, "just like you did in Quidditch!"
Jon pouted, acquiescing to this.
Arriving at the long table where Daphne was sitting alone, Astoria happily gave her a hug. Daphne looked up and gave Jon a reluctant smile.
"I'll go get a drink!" Jon suggested.
"Okay...... I'm waiting for you here!" Astoria nodded.
......
Jon made his way through the crowd and made a beeline for the corner where Zacharith and Steven were.
"Hey, buddy!" Zacharis saw Jon and laughed, "You did a terrible jump!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jon gave him a blank look, and then heard only a burst of laughter from the two boys.
Jon didn't pay any attention to them, just picked up the two bottles of Butterbeer behind them, grabbed three more clean glasses, and turned back to the Greengrass sisters.
"Remember to have fun tonight!" came the sound of Zacharis heckling behind him.
Jon could only pretend not to hear his "gibberish".
......
Returning to his previous position, Jon saw Draco Malfoy say something to the Greengrass sisters.
But before Jon could return, Malfoy left with a sneer.
Jon pours Astoria and Daphne a glass of butterbeer.
Astoria sipped her beer and said, "Mr. Malfoy wants to invite me to dance...... I told him I was too tired...... Rejected him......"
As she spoke, she glanced at her sister and suggested to Jon, "Go ahead, I'll teach you how to dance the tango!"
"Maybe we can take a stroll out into the garden first?" Jon whispered, glancing at Daphne as well.
After all, it didn't feel good to leave Daphne alone here.
"Yes!" Astoria blinked, nodding.
"No, you guys go shopping!" Daphne Greengrass stood up, "I'm a little tired, let's go back to the Slytherin common room first!"
With that, she walked to the door of the ballroom in disappointment, without looking back.
