Chapter 179: The Beginning of the Ball

Entering the common room, Harry looked around and was surprised to see Ron sitting in a far corner with a pale face. Ginny sat beside him and spoke to him in a low voice, as if to comfort him.

"What's the matter with you?" Harry asked.

"I don't know how I could do such a thing!" Ron gasped and said, "What am I kidding?" It was full of people - it was crowded - I was so dizzy - everyone was watching! As I walked through the foyer, I met her, and she was standing talking to Augustus, surrounded by Beauxbatons' girls, and I suddenly couldn't control myselfโ€”and I went up to her and asked her! โ€

"She looked at me like I was a sea cucumber or something. I don't bother to answer at all. And then -- I don't know -- I suddenly came to my senses and ran away. โ€

"She's a little bit of a baby," said Harry, "and you're right - her grandmother is a baby." It's not your fault, I dare say she was casting that spell on Augustus, and you happened to pass by and got struck - but this time she did it in vain. Augustus had already agreed to go with Cho Zhang. โ€

The two sat facing each other sighing, like a pair of brothers in distress, encouraged each other, and hurriedly returned to the dormitory.

The snow had drifted all night, and the next day, as if for the upcoming Ball, the whole of Hogwarts was plunged into a world of snow, Beauxbatons' light blue carriage looked like a large pumpkin in frost in winter, and the gingerbread house with frosting next to it was Hagrid's cabin.

Standing in the corridor outside the castle, Lilian looked at the silver-white world in the distance, slightly distracted. Augustus agreed to Qiu Zhang's invitation, it is no secret, in fact, for this choice, although helpless, but there is still a little relief in his heart, just a dance partner, Qiu Zhang is Chinese after all, since it is not Hermione, nor Fleur. For the heir of the oldest family in the wizarding world, it is almost impossible to choose a Chinese woman in the future.

Reaching out and catching the little snowflakes falling from the sky, the snow was like catkins, Lillian suddenly showed a warm smile on her face, the white cherry blossoms fell one after another, falling all over her long sea blue hair, the pollen fell on her long eyelashes, and the smile bloomed on the delicate countenance, smudged around and around, like beautiful ripples. I heard the clear laughter of children playing in the snow like wind chimes.

Standing at the other end of the castle, looking at the fairy-like girl in the snow and mist, the ice and snow began to melt in the sound of the birds in the sky, and the girl's smile was overwhelming. Augustus's eyes gradually became covered with snow, and he was silent for a long time, and then turned to leave, and the wind that blew from somewhere, suddenly filled his snow-white robes.

Beichen is very lucky, since he saw the girl in the auditorium that day, these days, he often has the girl's beautiful face and smile in his mind, today, meet again, in the huge snow, only the girl alone, for him, it is simply the perfect encounter, while thinking, while gradually approaching.

"Hello, senior sister." Using age advantage to win each other's maternal love is the best way for Beichen, compared to their own young boys, I believe that any normal woman will let down some of her usual guards.

"Is there something wrong?" The voice came from behind, and Lilian turned around and glanced at Beichen, with a hint of nonchalance in her crimson pupils. The boy in front of him seems to be an exchange student from Oriental College, China? Thinking of Qiu Zhang, Lilian's eyes slowly turned cold.

I didn't expect that I had been labeled as Made in China, seeing that the girl seemed to be defenseless, Beichen was a little excited, striking while the iron was hot, straight to the point, for women, decisive and direct men will always have a miraculous effect.

"Well, that's the case," Beichen tried to pretend to be a more gentleman, and the British still pay attention to etiquette, "I don't know if there is a chance, I can invite you to be my dance partner." For a beautiful lady like you, a dance partner of equal status is essential. Look, despicable, is it? โ€

Lilian stared at him expressionlessly for a while, as if looking at a clown who was crowned by a monkey, until there was a trace of anger in Beichen's eyes, she nodded with satisfaction, and before Beichen was happy, a crisp voice directly destroyed his illusion, "Boring." With a sneer, Lillian turned and walked back to the castle.

Looking at the girl's distant back, Beichen Ke's cold eyes had a touch of viciousness, very good, it's very comfortable to play the deity like this, right, a low-level native, it is your glory to be regarded by the deity, so I don't know what to do, I hope you don't fall into my hands in the future.

At night, Hogwarts was lit up with colorful candles, students from the three schools dressed in various dresses and dance partners, and five exchange students from the East also arrived in the Great Hall early to talk to the people of Gryffindor House. The walls of the auditorium were covered in glittering silver frost, and the ceiling was a starry night sky, with hundreds of mistletoe sprigs and wreaths of ivy. The four college tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small tables lit with lanterns

In front of the guest of honor, Dumbledore smiled happily, Ludo? Bagman slapped his classmates as enthusiastically as his classmates as he wore a bright purple robe with a large yellow star on it. Madame Maxim stripped off her usual black satin uniform and wore a lilac flowing robe.

Parvati stood next to Harry, holding his hand, and Harry looked around as Fleur Delacour and Roger Davis sat at the Ravenclaw table, his eyes falling on the girl beside Krum. Suddenly, his mouth opened in surprise.

It's Hermione. Then looking into the distance, Akihari waited quietly at the Ravenclaw table, and Augustus, who seemed to be out of the auditorium now. Harry looked at Akihari alone, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he sighed slightly, then turned around.

At that moment, Professor McGonagall's voice rang out, "Warriors, please come over here!" โ€

The crowd moved out of the way, and the warriors got up from the long table, ready to move.

The wind blew through the window, and everyone suddenly smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, and then they saw six girls with black hair hanging down their shoulders and white clothes like snow, carrying baskets of cherry blossoms, sprinkled all the way up from downstairs, and spread the bright white cherry blossoms into a flower felt on the stairs.

A person stepped on the flowers and walked up slowly. His face was white, neither pale nor miserable, but a white jade-like sparkling color.

His eyes were full of starlight, and his silver-white eyes were like two cold stars. He wore a crown of beads on a sandalwood seat in his golden hair, and his clothes were as white as snow. He walked very slowly, and when he came up, it was like a king entering his court, and like a flying immortal in the sky, descending to the earth.

A warm smile appeared on Qiu Zhang's face, and she strolled forward, took his hand, and put her fingers on top of each other, and the temperature dissipated and gathered again. The figures of the two gradually coincided, and in the snowy winter, the ceiling reappeared with clouds and the morning sun that had not been seen for a long time.
