Chapter 162: The Balls (4)
In the past, the school had a buffet, and all the meals were placed on the table, and you could take whatever you wanted.
This Christmas dance party made a small change, from buffet to à la carte.
That's right, everyone had shiny golden plates in front of them, but there was no food. Next to the plate, there is a small menu.
Dumbledore looked at his portion of the menu, then turned to the plate and said very clearly, "Orleans fried Tebo wart cutlet!" ”
The pork chops appeared immediately.
Worthy of Dumbledore...... I can always give you something new.
But here comes the problem again.
Looking at the dishes, you can basically judge the ingredients and taste from the color and aroma.
But just look at the name of the dish...... You can judge a hammer!
William looked at the menu and fell into this confusion.
He glanced at the name of a dish called Snow Cover Flaming Mountain.
Judging by the name alone, this dish is poetic and charming.
In his mind, he instantly made up the bleak picture of heavy snow falling on the mountain.
It's a dish with a lot of feelings...... The chef is certainly a guy with a story to tell, too.
William decided to ask for one, to savor the loneliness in the dish.
Well, when seeing that dish...... William didn't even taste it, he broke the defense in an instant, and the success was tasteless.
What appeared on the plate was actually its meow - tomatoes dipped in salt.
This is a snow-covered mountain of flames?!
If you dip it in sugar, William still respects you as a famous dish, and you still dare to innovate and dare to dip in salt?!
Whoever came up with the name of the dish, stand up for Lao Tzu.
Oh, so Dumbledore got up to express his loneliness?
That's okay, the name of this dish is really vivid.
It wasn't just William who had this problem, but Hermione as well.
She ordered a green dragon to cross the river, and then there was an egg soup with only one long green vegetable.
After doing this a few times, the students were honest and stopped ordering the names of dishes that sounded bells and whistles.
What is the golden jade soup, the jade dragon lying in the snow mountain, the merlin special small hamburger...... Don't even try it.
And the straightforward name of the roast suckling pig is the best food.
I didn't see Hagrid all perform for everyone, and the three of them were Potter...... Ahem, Tebo warthogs?
Eating is always the hottest scene, but this time everyone deliberately controlled it, and only ate five or six minutes full.
Now it's just an appetizer, and the dance party after the dinner is the main meal, and eating too much is not conducive to strenuous exercise.
I know it all! Those who don't understand are secretly self-taught.
So, today's dinner ended very early, and everyone looked at Professor Dumbledore excitedly.
The principal is also knowledgeable, doesn't talk too much nonsense, and goes straight to the point.
He waved his wand, and the tables flew to the wall, leaving an open space in between.
He conjured up a high stage, which was attached to the right wall, on which lay a drum kit, guitars, a lute, a cello, and an organ.
At this moment, the eccentric sister group poured onto the stage together, and the students erupted in thunderous applause.
Wacky Sisters...... Although they are called sisters, they are not sister singers, they are male and female, and they are a pop singer group.
These men all had explosive heads and wore black robes that had been deliberately torn to shreds.
If you change the robe to jeans, it's more like a wizard non-mainstream.
The lanterns on the table were dimming, and the band was picking up their instruments.
William stood up gracefully, bowed slightly, stretched out his hand and smiled:
"Can I dance with you tonight, Miss Granger?"
"Of course, I'd love to, Mr. Stark!"
Hermione pursed her lips and smiled, put her hand on the boy's palm, and stood up gently.
William pulled the chair back from under Hermione, took her hand, and walked towards the center of the dance floor.
All the students stood up, and the auditorium was filled with cheerful atmosphere.
"Let's go, Autumn."
Cedric grabbed Cho's hand, and this time she finally didn't dodge, but shyly followed him towards the dance floor.
"Let's go swing, Rollo." Lavender's face was full of excitement.
Ron hummed, reluctantly stood up, and walked towards the dance floor.
"Hey, help me pull the chair away!" Lavender stood still and dissatisfied.
"You won't be able to do it yourself?" Ron said, turning his head.
"I'm wearing a dress, it's inconvenient! Can you be a gentleman? Lavender glared at him.
"Didn't you see just now, William took the initiative to pull out the chair for Hermione?"
Ron muttered and walked over, stomping on the hem of Lavender's skirt and nearly falling.
"Ah, I'm in a shared dress! I have to return it when the party is over! Very expensive! Lavender said angrily.
Ron retorted, "You can't just wash it." ”
“……”
Lavender stared at Ron with cannibalistic eyes, and now she really wanted to grab Ron by the neck and ask:
"Do you want to dance, too?"
She wondered if going out to the ball with Ron was the wrong choice.
Sissy, why don't you come to the auditorium and fight with Rollo and snatch me away?
The Weird Sisters play a tune called "So Tonight", which has a cheerful and beautiful melody.
William stepped onto the dance floor, his left hand brushing over Hermione's waist, the other tightly held in her hand.
The two danced many times alone, especially when floating in the vast Adriatic Sea, and there were only two of them, and there was almost no entertainment.
Naturally do something interesting.
Most of the tunes and dance steps were skipped, and even some daring styles of dance were secretly tried a few times.
But at that time, there were only William and Hermione, and they didn't have to worry about other people's eyes.
And at this time, there are so many people, Hermione is still restrained.
As the rhythm became more and more cheerful, Hermione slowly let go, her body gradually softened, and her movements became more and more skillful.
Hermione's originally hidden vitality was completely liberated.
William took Hermione in his right hand and turned forward.
She leaned forward, and the blue long skirt with silver threads gently swayed in the wind, like a water lily, spreading its intricate petals.
William pulled his right hand, and the girl shifted, spun back sharply, and fell into his arms.
William put his arms around Hermione's slender waist, his right hand touching her hips, elastic.
Hermione shook her whole body, and a touch like electricity spread through her body, making her almost tremble.
The girl's cheeks couldn't help but show a faint flush.
Hermione didn't hate it, on the contrary, she was so enchanted that she couldn't help herself.
William's movements quickened a little, and his dancing posture made the girl feel like a white swan flying in the air.
In her dreams, she had dreamed of such a scene...... And William.
It was a pleasant feeling.
For a moment, Hermione had almost forgotten that this was the Great Hall, that she was doing.
The movements of the girl's dance are all swinging according to custom...... She just looked at William with a misty look in her eyes and hugged her.
Hermione was caught in a world that belonged entirely to the two of them.
And tonight's big ball...... For the two, it's just getting started.
Or rather...... Sleepless tonight.
