Chapter 282, the crowd competes for beauty
On Christmas Eve, a heavy snowfall fills Hogwarts in a festive atmosphere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe whole school gave up going home for the sake of the Christmas Ball, and just after dinner, the students went back to their dormitories to change into their dresses.
In the Gryffindor lounge, Bruce and Harry, Ron had already changed their clothes and sat on the sofa waiting for Hermione and them.
"Why is it so long?" Ron waited a little impatiently and said, "Everyone is gone, why haven't they come out yet." ”
Bruce said boredly, "That's how girls are!" Don't worry, Ron, you don't seem to have been practicing dancing much lately, but don't be embarrassed at the prom. ”
Ron looked indifferent and said; "I'm not a contestant, I'm afraid of anything."
Harry teased, "You forgot what Professor McGonagall said, beware of her deducting your credits." ”
Ron said, "How could so many people notice me, and I'm prepared...... Oops, really! Are you alright? ”
Ron shouted, and Lavender's voice came: "It's coming, what's the hurry!" ”
Lavender, who was wearing a pink off-the-shoulder dress, walked up to Ron with a smile, turned around slightly, and asked, "How's it going?" Is it good-looking? ”
Ron was stunned, Lavender was a beauty in her own right, and now she looked even more radiant against the backdrop of this dress.
Bruce laughed, "It's beautiful! ”
"Uh-huh!" Harry nodded, teasing, "It's a pity that Ron was cheaper." ”
"Huh!" Lavender smiled, "Thank you." ”
But Ron was a little unhappy, looked at Lavender's snow-white shoulders, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you want to show your shoulders, it's not good to be seen." ”
"Huh?" Lavender smiled bitterly, "You...... It's really ungraceful. ”
After a while, Patil also came out, she was wearing traditional Indian clothes, which really matched her temperament, but in Bruce's opinion, Ah San's clothes were really not very good-looking, but the three of them still praised them.
Then there was Hermione, and the three of them were stunned the moment she walked out. The red cheongsam, surrounded by golden phoenixes, is tied up on the head and embellished with a red hairpin. The face is painted with light makeup, which makes the already smooth face more and more vibrant.
This should be Hermione's first time wearing lipstick, and the red lipstick makes the originally innocent girl a little more seductive.
Is light makeup always suitable? Bruce can now tell those people that this is, the intersection of light makeup and heavy makeup, the echo of innocence and maturity, this is the real dress. What's even worse is the out-of-body curve under the cheongsam.
"Goo!"
Bruce's throat shuddered uncontrollably, and Ron and Harry exclaimed, "It's beautiful." ”
A pink glow appeared on Hermione's shy face, and she walked over to Bruce and asked, "How's it going?" ”
Bruce nodded in surprise and said in obsession, "You know what? Honey, you're going to make all girls lose their lustre. ”
Bruce thought that Hermione would wear a cheongsam, but he didn't expect Hermione's East-West outfit to be so "seductive".
Harry laughed, "It's so pretty, I'm even starting to wonder if you're Hermione." ”
Hermione took Bruce's arm and smiled, "Of course, I said you'd be surprised." ”
Lavender smiled wryly, "Hermione, you must stay away from me, or I'll be ashamed of myself." ”
"Okay, how can it be so exaggerated, let's go!" Hermione laughed.
The Yule Ball was held in the restaurant on the second floor, and Hermione's return rate skyrocketed along the way, and the boys' direct eyes made Bruce very unhappy. When they reached the door of the cafeteria, Professor McGonagall found them.
"Bruce, Harry, you all ...... Wow! Granger? As she spoke, Professor McGonagall noticed Hermione holding Bruce, but the change was so great that she barely recognized it.
Hermione laughed, "It's me, Professor!" ”
"Oh! Honey, you are beautiful! Professor McGonagall exclaimed.
"Thank you!" Hermione said shyly.
Bruce said, "Professor, are you waiting for us?" ”
Professor McGonagall then remembered what was going on, and said with concern, "Oh, yes! Are you and Potter ready? ”
"Don't worry, Professor! We're not going to discredit Gryffindor. Harry assured.
"I hope so." Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "Now you two have to wait a little longer with your respective dance partners. Mr. Weasley and Miss Brown can go in first. ”
Ron nodded and said to his two friends, "Come on, guys!" ”
Bruce laughed, "Get ready to enjoy our beautiful dancing!" ”
Ron quipped, "Just don't make me throw up, huh!" ”
Not long after Ron and Lavender entered, Zhang Qiu, who was wearing a silver dress, walked over with Cedric in his arms, and a trace of unhappiness and jealousy flashed in Harry's eyes as they looked at their arms together.
"Good evening, guys!" Cedric greeted with a smile.
"Hello!" Zhang Qiu said with a smile.
Bruce laughed, "Wow! Senpai, you're so beautiful! ”
"Hi Hi! Bruce, Zhang Qiu is my dance partner, beware...... Oh, my God! No, it's ...... Granger?! When Cedric noticed Hermione beside Bruce, he let out the same incredulous exclamation as Professor McGonagall.
Bruce said proudly, "I would like to introduce you to Mrs. Stirling, Lady Hermione Granger. ”
"Bang Bang!" Cedric applauded very cooperatively and smiled, "It's beautiful." Hermione, I knew I should have asked you to be my dance partner. ”
Hermione laughed, "What do you mean?" Am I usually ugly? And...... Beware of Zhang Qiu ignoring you. ”
Zhang Qiu quipped, "No, no, Hermione! If I were a boy, I would fall in love with you too. ”
"Please, pay attention. My real boyfriend is still here! Bruce laughed.
"Huh!" Zhang Qiu smiled: "Bruce, you have to be strict, I thought that there will be many boys pursuing Hermione today." ”
"Hey, you're enough!" At this time, Patil said "dissatisfied": "Hermione, because you and I have become transparent. ”
"Huh!"
Cedric immediately took her hand, kissed her very gentlemanly, and said, "I'm so sorry, beautiful lady! ”
"Wow! Handsome! Patil said with a nymphomaniac.
Harry said with a bitter expression, "Could you please take note of how I feel?" Diggory, I really want you to leave right now. ”
Cedric laughed, "Look at our savior. All right, man! You're handsome today, really. ”
At this point, Bruce said, "That's right! All three of you 'leaders' are here, what about the event? ”
Hermione said, "George Weasley and the other three houses will be in charge inside. ”
"Oh! Speaking of which...... Bruce, when did that house-elf Dobby you said come over? Zhang Qiu asked.
"That's right! It's an important guest! Cedric said.
Bruce smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I've already informed Dobby." It's going to blow your mind. ”
Just as the three of them were chatting, a sweet voice came.
"Hey! You're here so soon. ”
A few people turned to look, and everyone was stunned in an instant. The woman in front of her is simply too "dazzling", and the curves and plumpness that do not match her age under the blue dress are simply attractive to any person of the opposite sex. The beauty of Fleur has long been known to everyone, but at this moment, the finishing touch of cosmetics is vividly reflected in her.
While Hermione had already shocked them, Fleur's shock was even stronger this time.
Cedric said incredulously, "I know I've said this many times tonight, but ...... You are really beautiful. ”
Except for Hermione and Bruce, everyone else nodded in acquiescence, and Hermione didn't nod because of jealousy and the woman's hostility. But Bruce is "attracted", but this attraction also surprises and puzzles him.
Fleur was indeed pretty, and it would be fair to put Bruce's words about Hermione on her. But even so, Bruce thinks that he is at most like Cedric, but he doesn't know why he has the urge to hug Fleur the moment he sees it, if he hadn't forcibly suppressed this thought, it would have passed.
"I'll go!" Bruce secretly bit the tip of his tongue to regain his senses, but at this time, there was a subtle hint of surprise in Fleur's eyes.
"Bruce Sterling?"
Just when Bruce was surprised by his "psychological gaffe" just now, the boy next to Fleur spoke, and his tone was full of "thought-provoking".
Bruce saw the man and smiled, "Oh! Davis, it turned out to be you. ”
Cedric heard the unkindness of Fleur's dancing partner's tone, and hurriedly quipped, "It seems that the ladies are so attractive that they have forgotten Davis." ”
Roger Davis. Among the few people present, except for Hermione, they had crossed paths with him. He was the chaser for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team and the captain.
"I really didn't expect you to be able to participate in the competition." Roger Davis said, his tone full of sarcasm.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qiu, who was a teammate and classmate, frowned. Bruce was naturally very unhappy with this inexplicable hostility, but for the sake of Zhang Qiu's face, he still restrained his temper and said with a smile: "I'm also inexplicable myself, but ...... It's a shame you didn't make the cut. ”
"Huh!" Harry immediately sneered.
Roger Davies's face turned red and he hurriedly said, "That's okay, we can still compete in Quidditch." ”
Bruce sneered and ignored him, but Harry spoke, he was originally unhappy because of Zhang Qiu, and then sent another uninteresting one, Harry naturally wanted to vent.
"I don't think I need to compare, Ravenclaw has been defeated by us three times!" Harry sneered.
Roger Davis was about to retort with anger on his face, but Fleur interjected at the right time, "How's your event going?" I'm looking forward to it. ”
"You're ready, thank you this time, Fleur!" Zhang Qiu smiled politely.
Fleur smiled faintly and said, "I appreciate your behavior very much, and ...... I'm not losing money either! ”
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, the others were puzzled, but Harry and Hermione looked at Bruce at the same time, and Bruce was stunned, and then before he could think more, a slender jade hand gently twisted his waist.
"Shhh Bruce gasped and begged Hermione for mercy with a look in his eyes.
Thankfully, the last contestant, Krum, "saved" Bruce by appearing.
"Hello!" Krum walked over and greeted her, then looked at Hermione and smiled, "Granger, you're so beautiful!" ”
"Nima!" Bruce's anger welled up in his heart, and he hugged Hermione and declared her ownership despite the pain in his back.
"Five contestants, you're ready to play!"
