It was already nightfall, and the large clouds of fire were gradually disappearing, but there was not much novelty. It's just this special time www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" that makes this whole day meaningful.

For example, this is the last breakfast of the century, the last Quidditch game of the century, the last sunset of the century, and so on. In another five or six hours, people will bid farewell to the 20 th century and enter the new century. Someone will take stock of the best of the century in the past 100 years, but the most important thing at the moment is to participate in the cross-century banquet.

The red-fiery light shone through the glass windows into the room, as if the Phoenix had enchanted the Animagus. He held a book called "The Beasts of the Mountains" in his hand. The book focuses on the amazing creatures of Asia and is an enduring popular textbook in the region.

In the past, if Hermione wasn't at work, they would sit here and read.

Hermione kept stroking her hair in the mirror, a smile written on her face, a smile of contented pleasure. A few advisors behind him looked like figures, choosing evening dresses and jewelry for Hermione.

"Honey, is it okay?" Phoenix was a little irritated when he read the book, and it was still very difficult for him to read in Chinese, "I didn't see you pay so much attention to those banquets before." ”

"It's not important, it's just that today is a little different than any previous ball. Hermione replied softly.

"Woman. Phoenix sighed helplessly.

Finally, after meeting with the consultants, she opted for a white silk dress. A purple jewel necklace is worn on the chest to set off the exposed skin more and more white and translucent, and the hair is carefully tied in a bun, shining golden in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"You really believe in this thing. Phoenix saw that she had finally done it, and stood behind her and picked up the purple gem necklace, "I don't believe it, it has any special function, it is completely out of money for stupid girls like you." ”

Hermione waved his hand away and said, "I asked my colleague in the patent office. ”

"Stay young, I'm guessing your colleague is a woman, too. Before Hermione could get upset, Phoenix quickly continued, "But you're doing great today." ”

"Alright. Let's go, it's getting late. ”

Knowing that time was tight, he still had so much time delayed, but he only dared to complain in his heart. He reached out and took Hermione's hand.

"Let's go. ”

As the two of them walked down the stairs hand in hand. The Snow Mountain Castle has long been full of people, and the appearance of the master makes the dance party even more lively.

The guests in the hall were all well-dressed, and of course there was no shortage of people dressed modestly in this piece of jewelry.

For a big family like theirs, there is indeed a very important meaning today. That is, after today, many families can call themselves thousand-year-old families or noble families with a history of 5,000 years. For European wizarding families who are always baptized in blood and fire, there are not many such families.

Because of this, they can make them feel noble, everyone praises each other, puts all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric on each other, and the other party will reciprocate, others are happy, and they are also very happy, and the whole ball maintains a pleasant atmosphere.

Mr. and Mrs. Peverell took center stage of attention, and they politely greeted their guests.

"Oh, oops. How did you invite him. Hermione had a smile on her face, but her tone was already quite dissatisfied.

Looking up, Phoenix immediately saw the figure that upset her. Perth Greengrass, the new Minister for Magic. Someone had previously photographed Perth in private, respectful to Hermione, coupled with her rocket-like promotion speed, it can't help but remind people that Hermione's husband was a very powerful person.

Thankfully, Perth pressed the Daily Prophet in time, plus Phoenix had a stake in the newspaper. The incident was quickly swept under the rug, but within the Ministry of Magic, the rumors intensified. This made Hermione angry and distressed, because Phoenix really didn't have the right to open her way, and the Ministry of Magic knew that Phoenix wasn't very much - the real side.

"Just ignore him, don't spoil everyone's interest. Phoenix smiled, "Let's talk about Fengyue tonight, nothing else." ”

"Let's go dancing, it's about time. Hermione hesitated, deciding he was right.

The host dances to the accompaniment of music, officially announcing the start of the ball.

Compared to the previous dances, tonight was more middle-aged and elderly. The young people all went down the hill, and the bonfires held there were more lively and indulgent. The two of them were particularly conspicuous among the crowd of gray-haired wizards.

"Look at you like a queen," Phoenix whispered. "Maybe you'll really become a queen in the future, so you'll have to get used to it. ”

"That's not good, I'm going to be at home all day. Hermione said happily.

In any case, it is always exciting for girls to receive the honor of being a princess or even a queen. Although there is an element of teasing her, this is also a particularly hot topic in the middle and lower classes of the family, so it is not a joke.

The two men whispered to each other, as if they had forgotten where they were.

A dance is over.

They were soon surrounded by guests, who gathered around to greet the two of them. Phoenix coped casually as he secretly looked around the hall.

A group of people were seen rushing into the venue with terror on their faces. The people screamed and looked very confused.

"Sir, we are about to be attacked. Love whispered in trepidation.

Phoenix and Hermione leapt to their feet and drew their wands. Many people didn't realize that something had happened, and people still turned their heads to see what was going on, and squeezed in to Phoenix.

The family guards, with Phoenix and Hermione in the middle, rushed out of the panicked crowd. The guests were forced to flee in all directions.

More people rushed in, they were wearing armor and could be seen to be directly on, and the gown was still partially exposed. Each person picks up a guest and walks out.

"Please all follow us at once!" a calm voice came out of the wall.

The castle and a large area around it cannot be apparitioned, and some people don't know what is going on, but can understand that something is wrong, and fly straight out of the window - Voldemort's invented flying spell is now widespread and a popular spell.

"What's going on?" asked Phoenix.

He saw that most people were more puzzled and confused in their eyes, as if the blow they were about to suffer was not very traditional.

"Go to the Vault first!" Cried Love, "what about the important members?"

"It's coming. The voice of brandy came from behind.

As they walked through the crowded gate, Phoenix saw through the floor-to-ceiling windows that a milky curtain was slowly falling, but the sky was quiet, no fighting, no attack magic. What the hell is going on?

Still in a burgundy gown and holding a shield in his hand, Mercedes shouted, "Activate the defensive magic!"

As I ran, my surroundings began to change.

The group of them hurried through the labyrinthine corridors, the ubiquitous glass windows gone, replaced by thick, unadorned walls.

A crowd of people whirled into the "shelter".

Phoenix sat down on the throne and gasped.

"What's going on?"
