After emptying the field, Professor Dumbledore conjured a tall stage by the wall, on which were placed a set of drums, a few guitars, a lute (poetry), a cello, and several organs.

"What a strange instrument configuration. Hermione whispered, as a person who has studied the piano, there are some basic musical knowledge that is understood, so it is normal to feel that something is wrong after seeing the instruments on the stage.

"Maybe the things that wizards are popular with and how they play are a little different from us, after all, the two worlds have been separated for hundreds of years. Ryan said that at this time she saw two witches dressed in the style of the eighties come up to the stage with musical instruments.

At this time, the audience erupted in thunderous applause. The two musicians picked up their instruments amid applause, the lanterns on the table went out, and Ryan and the other six warriors and their dance partners all stood up.

The Quirky Sisters play a slow, sad tune. Ryan led Hermione onto the brightly lit dance floor and gracefully began the first dance, he slowly twirled around the dance floor with Hermione around her waist.

"You used that bottle of perfume. As Ryan approached Hermione, she finally smelled the perfume on Ryan's body that she had given her in the morning, which surprised Hermione, after all, she knew that Ryan had never used perfume before.

"Of course, the pine and cypress flavor suits me well, thank you. ”

After a short prelude, Dumbledore and Lady Maxime stepped onto the dance floor together, and soon they waltzed. For Madame Maxime's figure, their dancing is absolutely elegant. Even the normally serious-looking Moody was gone, but his prosthetic leg made him look a little clumsy, and his dance partner, Professor Sinista, had to keep a nervous stare at his prosthetic leg.

The most exaggerated of all was Filch, who stood on the edge of the dance floor and hugged Lady Loris as if she were also dancing. It's a pity that the cat doesn't like this, and there is always an expression on his face that Diao Min wants to harm me.

As the music was played, many people also entered the dance arena, and the warrior was no longer the center of attention. Ryan saw many acquaintances dancing nearby, and seemed to be dancing happily.

It wasn't until the organ played its last trembling note that the band stopped playing, and the opening dance was a happy end. The auditorium erupted in applause again.

Then it was free time, and after two fast-paced dances, Ryan took Hermione out of the dance arena. I happened to see Ginny sitting alone at a table, fanning the wind with her hands.

"Where's Harry?" asked Hermione as the two men approached the table.

"He went to get a drink. Ginny said as Lahermione sat down, while Ryan went to the table over there to get a butterbeer. After rounding the crowd of happy dancers, Ryan happened to run into Harry at the edge of the drink table, and the two of them went back to the lounge with a few bottles of Butterbeer.

When they returned, they saw Ron sitting at the table talking to Ginny quietly and quickly, and when she saw Ryan coming, Hermione stood up and pulled Ryan to the other side.

"Ron is dealing with family issues, so let's not get involved. Hermione explained as the two of them drank butterbeer. Fortunately, now from a distance, Ron just patted Harry on the shoulder, probably not being able to fight. Thinking of this, Ryan was extremely glad that Hermione was an only child.

Mr. Crouch also came out to dance with Madame Maxim at this time. As they passed by the dance floor, they could see that Mr. Crouch looked tired. It seems that his son should have run away, which gave him a lot of psychological pressure.

Percy was also led to Hogwarts by Miss Bones today, and after seeing Ryan, Percy soon came over with Penelope.

"Congratulations on becoming a Hogwarts Champion. Percy congratulated Ryan, "It's a good thing that Ms. Bones knew my girlfriend was still in school, so she gave me the opportunity to be an attaché." Ha, it's nice to be at this castle again after graduation. He smiled at Penelope, who pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Percy's sideburns.

"You're not here to show me affection, are you?" asked Ryan.

"Of course not, I'm just here to tell you about the second project, the Ministries of Magic in several countries have been arguing for a long time over the application of the law, so Ms. Bones will come to Hogwarts today. Hope this news is useful to you. ”

"Thank you so much. After thanking Percy, Ryan asked his own question: "By the way, didn't you say that Mr. Crouch was in the hospital? Why did he show up at the ball again today? I think he looks very tired." ”

"It can only be said that Mr. Crouch is too dedicated. Percy said, "Although I disagree with his views a little, I greatly admire his professionalism. I heard from my colleagues that this hospitalization has made him recover a lot, but the psychological pressure is still hindering his complete recovery. Maybe it's too much pressure to hold two big international events in a row. My father told me that Crouch had come to Hogwarts from St. Mung's day after drinking a bottle of Booster, and that he would have to go back to the hospital after the ball. ”

"Sounds terrible. Hermione said from the side.

"Yes, Ludo Bagman is a good player and a lovable person, but he's a mess in terms of management. For example, Pertha Joggins, who disappeared during the summer vacation in their department, has not let anyone look for her until now, and it has been four months. So when there was such an event organizer, the Ministry of Magic could only rely on Mr. Crouch to support the current situation. In this case, it is normal to be under high psychological pressure. ”

After a few conversations, Percy took his girlfriend Penelope to the dance floor again. Unlike the two people who broke up in the original book, Percy has maintained contact with his girlfriend since his fate changed. For couples like them in a long-distance relationship, it is natural to have a chance to meet for a while together.

This is the time when the Quirky Sisters play their famous tunes, which, to be honest, are very discotheque-style. The atmosphere in the arena was completely ignited, and the energetic rhythm ignited this ancient castle, and the little wizards writhed happily to the rhythm.

"It seems a little noisy, let's go out for a walk. Ryan whispered to Hermione.

So the two of them slipped out the door quietly and into the foyer. The front door was open, and as they descended the steps, the fairy light in the rose garden shimmered. They found it surrounded by low bushes, richly decorated winding paths, and huge stone statues.

Ryan could hear the splashing of water, like a fountain, and occasionally people could be seen sitting on openwork benches.

"Ha, it's much better. I was really not used to that atmosphere just now. Hermione patted her chest lightly as she spoke, and the two of them walked along a winding path through the rose bushes.

“...... Don't understand why all this fuss, Igor. A voice suddenly came from the other side of the flowers.

"Severus, you can't pretend none of this is happening!" Karkaroff's voice sounded frightened and hoarse, as if he was afraid of being heard, "and it's become more and more obvious over the years. I'm so worried right now, I can't deny it-"

"Then run away," Snape's voice said impatiently, "run away—I'll excuse you." But I wanted to stay at Hogwarts. ”

Snape and Karkaroff took a turn. Snape blasted the roses in both directions with his wand in hand. He had a straight face and an ugly expression. Screams rang from the many flowers, and several black figures burst out of them.

"Ravenclaw deduct ten, Fawcett!" said Snape menacingly—a girl ran past him, "Hufflepuff deducted ten, Stabins!" and another boy chased after her.
