Chapter 177: The prom is underway
Looking at Gabrielle, who was standing in front of him and inviting him to dance, and Fleur, who was smiling helplessly not far away, Zhang Xu pinched Gabrielle's little nose speechlessly, and then pulled her onto the dance floor.
Gabrielle was wearing a silver-gray robe today, and she looked very cute.
On the dance floor, Zhang Xu couldn't reach Gabrielle's waist, so he could only hold her shoulders while being careful not to kick her with too big a step.
After dancing a song, Gabrielle was so tired that her little face flushed, so Zhang Xu couldn't help but pinch it.
Zhang Xu left the dance floor with Gabrielle and found Fleur resting at the table next to the dance floor.
Not long after she sat down, Tonya found Zhang Xu.
"Is there any wine?" Tonya asked Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu handed her two bottles of butterbeer.
"Dear comrade, don't bring up the wine that you can't light with a lighter, it's not delicious.?" Tonya said solemnly.
In desperation, Zhang Xu could only take out a large bottle of plum wine he had soaked himself from the treasure bag and handed it to her.
Seeing Tonya walk to Krum, who was sitting at the table not far away, with the wine, Zhang Xu lit a candle for Krum in his heart.
"Big brother, let's go dancing together."
Before Zhang Xu's gaze could be withdrawn from Tonya and Krum, someone lined his shoulders and invited him to dance.
Zhang Xu turned his head and looked at Scarlett who was standing beside him and invited him to dance speechlessly.
Zhang Xu turned his gaze to Fleur, but when Fleur saw him turn his head, she immediately lowered her head and talked to Gabrielle, pretending not to see Zhang Xu's movement.
Zhang Xu could only say hello to her, and walked towards the dance floor with Scarlet.
"Do you know how to dance a tango?" Scarlett asked.
"Tango is just a trip, a trip, three steps, a run, two turns, five steps, a waist, six steps and a wave, and then you go again." Zhang Xu's understanding of tango is nothing more.
To the melody of dance music, people on the dance floor danced.
"Why did you drink so much?"
As soon as he put his arm on Scarlet's waist, Zhang Xu smelled the strong smell of wine coming from her.
"I miss my relatives every festive season." Scarlet said with a sigh.
"It's better to drink less." Zhang Xu could only persuade.
"Hmm." The other side just answered softly.
The two stopped talking, but danced to the sound of music.
After the dance, the two of them left the dance floor, Zhang Xu returned to Fleur's side, and Scarlet left the auditorium.
Zhang Xu found that Tonya had already sat next to Fleur at this time, and was hugging Fleur's shoulders and talking to her.
Turning his head, Krum was already asleep on the table.
At this time, Tonya's face was flushed.
Plum wine is not such an easy wine to control, when I first drank it, I felt like drinking sugar water, and after a while, after a while, I often poured it before I even had time to use the curse of hangover.
Seeing Zhang Xu coming over, Tonya let go of Fleur and pulled Zhang Xu to the dance floor.
The helpless Zhang Xu could only give Furong who was snickering an apologetic look.
"It's better to drink less." This is the second time Zhang Xu has persuaded people to drink less tonight.
The style of painting at tonight's dance party is a bit abnormal, and one or two have drunk too much.
Tonya was obviously drunk and her body was a little weak, which made Zhang Xu have to support her with some strength.
"I told him that if he could drink me, I would be his girlfriend." Tonya said.
Next, while taking some messy dance steps, Tonya chattered to Zhang Xu, "I really don't know what he likes about me, can't I change it?"
As a result, before a dance song was finished, Zhang Xu helped Dong Niya, who was weak to drink up, to leave the dance floor.
After helping Tonya to the chair and sitting down, let her lie down on the table as well.
Fleur had no choice but to help Tonya and go back to Beauxbatons with Gabrielle.
After Furong left, Zhang Xu also left the auditorium.
Zhang Xu, who left the auditorium, did not return to the dormitory, but walked out of the castle.
The lawn outside the castle gates is now transformed into a garden of bushes, richly decorated winding paths, and huge stone statues.
The garden shimmered with fairy lights – which meant hundreds of living fairies, sitting in magically conjured bushes or flapping their wings on statues that appeared to be Santa Claus and his reindeer.
People sit in pairs on openwork benches in the garden.
In addition to the student couple that he had already known, Zhang Xu also saw Mrs. Filch and Mrs. Pacs sitting next to each other on a bench.
The students who were not old enough to attend the ball were basically playing outside the castle.
Within a few steps, Zhang Xu saw Madame Maxim emerge from the bushes and walk angrily towards Beauxbatons' carriage.
After a while, Hagrid also left the bushes and walked back to his cabin.
After watching the lively Zhang Xu, he was wandering outside, throwing a big and cold snowball into the bushes from time to time to remind some of the young people inside not to go too far.
After throwing several large snowballs, Zhang Xu saw Fleur, who had settled Gabrielle and Tonya, returned to the castle.
Zhang Xu took Furong's hand and did not walk into the castle, but took her in the direction of a deserted person by the lake.
A few minutes later, the two came to a meadow surrounded by trees and bushes by the lake.
As soon as they walked to the middle of the meadow, nearly a hundred little fairies suddenly appeared around the meadow, flying in the air and flashing with white light.
These little fairies make a living by renting themselves out as decorations for various banquets and balls, and Christmas is the peak season for them to work every year.
If Zhang Xu hadn't hitched a ride on Hogwarts, and he was willing to spend money, he would have invited dozens of little fairies.
At the same time, melodic music sounded around the meadow, and the little fairies in the air also danced to the rhythm of the music.
"Beautiful Miss Delacour, would you like to dance with me?" Zhang Xu stood in front of Furong and bowed and said.
Fleur nodded, smiled and held out her right hand.
Zhang Xu took Furong's hand and put his other hand around her waist, and the two danced briskly to the sound of music.
On the meadows by the lake, little fairies dance in the air to the sound of music, their stars and glowing, weaving into criss-crossing ribbons under the dark night sky.
In the middle of the meadow, the dance steps are dancing and the breathing is shallow.
Spun around the grass like a feather fluttering in the wind in the clouds.
The tiptoes gently scratched the grass on the ground, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.
Sometimes it is as light as a homing swallow.
Sometimes it spreads its wings like a white swan.
It's a world for the two of them, and no one comes to bother them anymore.
Troubles, sorrows, have nothing to do with this moment.
The lover in front of you is all there is to this world.
