Chapter 98: The Christmas Ball
In the afternoon, the girls go to prepare for the ball that will be held later, and it always takes some time for the women to prepare, although the time varies from half an hour to several hours.
As for boys like Ios, they basically only need to change the school uniform they usually wear into a dress and robe, and they don't need to deliberately arrange their hairstyles, makeup, or anything, so they almost change their clothes when the time is almost up.
Ios changed into a black dress robe with intricate patterns, although he had always disliked black clothes, but when he chose the robe that day, he immediately took a fancy to this one, if I had to find a reason, it looked the most handsome.
Walking out of the common room in Ravenclaw, the girls he met on the way saw him with a ripple in their eyes, and it was obvious that he was still looking very good tonight.
Speaking of which, in addition to Fleur, there are still many good girls who took the initiative to invite him to the Christmas ball, but he politely refused, after all, he had already invited Fleur, didn't he.
There were no more students wearing the original black school uniforms along the way, everyone changed into colorful dresses and robes, especially the girls, who were carefully dressed up made Ios feel that he was really eye-opening, it turned out that there were so many beautiful girls in the school?!
Soon, he arrived at the student council president's room, where Fleur was already waiting for him.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." As a man, if you are late for an appointment, no matter what the reason, you should apologize first.
As he spoke, he looked at Fleur's outfit, she seemed to have just painted a light makeup, no wonder it was so fast. Her hair was tied up and coiled together, which made her arrogant temperament more obvious, and she also wore beautiful bright silver earrings on her ears, which played a good decorative effect.
Dressed in a silver-gray satin robe, she outlined her graceful figure, and in general she was stunningly beautiful, as if she was sparkling in the light.
Well, considering that she has Meiwa's bloodline in her body, it is not impossible to shine.
"You're so beautiful!" Ios exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you! You're not bad either! She looked at Fleur quietly as he looked at him, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
"Then let's go, the prom is about to begin." As he spoke, Ios held out an arm.
Seeing this, Fleur obediently grabbed his arm, and the two of them walked towards the auditorium together.
When they reached the foyer, they found that there were already quite a few people waiting there, and they had to wait together, until at eight o'clock the doors of the auditorium were opened, and the ball began at that time.
Waiting was boring, so acquaintances greeted each other and chatted to kill time, but fortunately it was close to eight o'clock, and not long after, Professor McGonagall's voice rang out: "Warriors, please come here!" ”
Boredom, Fleur hurried with Ios towards where Professor McGonagall was, and the crowd around her made way for them to pass.
I thought it was for them to go in first, but I didn't expect it to let them wait by the door, and when the students all found a good place to sit down, they entered again, for the finale?
And Harry next to him had already found out that Krum's dance partner was Hermione, and he was speechless in surprise, and Ios also took the opportunity to take a closer look at Hermione at this time, and sure enough, it was like two people from the previous image.
Thinking about how she looked when he met Hermione before, makeup is really an evil spell! Of course, this is just a joke, Hermione herself has a good foundation, otherwise she would not have this effect, not relying entirely on makeup.
Soon, Professor McGonagall informed them that they could enter, and the Warriors and their dance partners marched through the Great Hall in twos and in turn, toward a large round table where the judges were seated, and the seated people in the Great Hall applauded enthusiastically as they passed.
The walls of the auditorium were covered in glittering silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and hundreds of mistletoe sprigs and wreaths of ivy hung from it.
Gone were the four long tables that had been placed in the auditorium, replaced by a hundred small tables lit with lanterns, each with a dozen or so people seated.
Ios and Fleur calmly passed the students along the way to the guest of honor, and he pulled out a chair for Fleur to sit first, then next to hermione and Krum.
There were empty golden plates on the table, and there was a menu beyond that, but Dumbledore didn't need to think about what to do next, Dumbledore had already looked at his menu, and then said clearly to his plate, "Pork chops!" ”
Pork chops immediately appeared on his plate, and the rest of the people who suddenly realized that they followed suit and ordered their favorite things.
Fleur talks to Ios about how Beauxbatons Castle will be dressed up for Christmas, but she doesn't deliberately compare it to Hogwarts, as if she were simply making an introduction.
In fact, Ios knew that she actually disliked the decoration style of Hogwarts, after all, Beauxbatons's decoration was mainly gorgeous and beautiful, and it was more popular with girls, while Hogwarts was quaint and atmospheric, and it was difficult to say which was better.
However, Fleur was afraid of Ios's thoughts and didn't want to leave a bad impression on him, so she restrained herself a lot and didn't comment much on Hogwarts. He is still very satisfied with this.
When the food was finished, Dumbledore and the students all stood up, and with a wave of his wand, all the tables flew to the wall, and a high stage was conjured up with a drum kit, guitars, a lute, a cello, and organs.
Everything was ready, the Quirky Sisters took to the stage to pick up their instruments, and the lanterns around them went out. Seeing this, Ios got up and held out a hand to Fleur, who smiled and placed her hand on his palm.
To a slow, melancholy tune, Ios and Fleur danced in the middle of the brightly lit dance floor, his left hand around Fleur's waist and his right hand clasped with hers, slowly turning in circles to the rhythm of the music.
There were a few different styles of music in the middle, and Ios also danced a few dances with Fleur, although he didn't think it was interesting, but seeing that she was in high spirits, he didn't say anything, just accompany her.
Fortunately, after a dance, Fleur seemed to have her best and stopped, and Ios took her off the dance floor to find an empty seat and sit down.
After resting for a while, Fleur, who was holding a drink, looked at Ios, "Do you still want to dance again?" ”
Ios thought she wanted to dance again, and after a moment of thought, he replied, "If you want to dance." ”
"Then let's go out for a walk." With that, she got up and pulled Ios out of the auditorium. Walking down the steps, the fairy light in the rose garden shimmered.
