Chapter 590: The Dining Table

Harry struggled to keep himself from falling, and Paveti seemed to enjoy it, smiling at everyone present and powerfully reminding Harry that it was enough to make him feel like a performing dog, and she was leading him along.

As he approached the main table, he saw Ron and Padma.

Ron was squinting at Hermione next to her, and Padma looked melancholy.

Dumbledore smiled happily as the players approached the main table, but Karkaroff's expression was visibly the same as Ron's when he noticed Krum and his female companion approaching.

Lao Yiguo also likes fresh and beautiful little ......

Loude Bagmund was clapping her hands as enthusiastically as the other students tonight, dressed in a bright purple dress with a yellow pattern, while Madame Maxim, throwing away her daily black satin uniform and putting on a flowing lilac silk robe, was politely applauding them.

The opening dance was four warriors, and naturally there was nothing to do with Van Lin.

But Harry was a little distracted, and he suddenly realized that Mr. Crouch had not appeared, and that the fifth seat of the table had been taken by Percy Weasley.

As the contestants and their dance partners approached the table, Percy pulled the empty chair next to him and looked at Harry visibly.

Harry understood his hint and sat down next to Percy, who was wearing a freshly made navy blue gown with a smug expression.

"I was lifted. Harry didn't ask him, he said. From his tone, it was as if he had been declared the supreme leader of the university. "I am now Mr. Crouch's personal assistant, and I am here on behalf of Mr. Crouch. ”

"Why didn't he come?" asked Harry. He didn't want to spend his whole dinner listening to speeches.

"I'm afraid all I can say is that Mr. Crouch is not feeling well, not at all, he hasn't been better since the World Cup, and it's not surprising at all, he's overworked, he's not young anymore, even though he still has talent. Of course, the mind is still as powerful as ever. But the World Cup was a miserable defeat for the whole Cabinet, and after that, Mr. Crouch suffered a great blow for the mistakes of his family and the elf Brynn (I don't know what her name was), and he immediately sent her away, but—oh, as I said, he kept going, he needed to be taken care of, and I think he had obviously no comfort at home since she was gone, and we had to arrange a contest and the result of the game in the future—the betrayed woman was spreading rumors everywhere— No, poor man, he deserves a peaceful Christmas, and I'm glad he knows that he has someone he can pass on to the throne with confidence. ”

Harry was tempted to ask Mr. Crouch if he had asked Percy to "watch the weather", but he held back.

There was no food on those gleaming plates, but there was a small menu in front of everyone, and Harry picked it up uncertainly, and looked around - there was no one waiting for him, but Dan Bodo looked at his menu carefully, and then said loudly to his plate, "Ribs!"

The ribs came up. The rest of the people at the table had comprehended the method and placed orders for their plates, and Harry glanced at Hermione to see how she felt about this new, more complicated method of eating.

Hermione didn't seem to notice any of the things, as she and Vanlin sat at a table in front of them, Ron and his dance partner far away, and Ginny and Neville leaned in.

I have to say that Hermione was so eye-catching today, and Harry was sincerely happy for Hermione.

"Oh, we have a castle too, it's not as big as this and not as comfortable as this, that's what I thought. "Krum was confiding in his dance partner, "We only have four floors, and the stove is only lit for the sake of magic, but our bottom floor is bigger than these - although in the winter we have almost no sunlight, so we don't like it either, but in the summer we fly every day, over lakes and mountains-"

"Alright, alright, Victor. Karkaroff said, smiling but not hiding his cold eyes, "Say no more, or this charming friend of yours will know where we are hiding!"

Dumbledore smiled, his eyes winking, "Keep it secret...... Visitors will not be welcomed!"

"Oh, Dumbledore. Karkaroff grinned, showing his yellow teeth as much as he could, "We're here to protect our own territory, aren't we?

"Oh, I never dreamed I knew all the secrets of Hogwarts. "For example, this morning I was going to the bath, but I went in the wrong direction, and found a very nice house that I had never been to, with a large number of potty pots, and when I got closer, I realized that it had been painted." But I have to try to remember it all, maybe it will only come out at half past five in the morning. Or it will only appear when the moon turns a quarter, or when the seeker has a particularly sound arm. ”

Harry snorted at his plate of spicy vegetable stew, Percy frowned, but Dumbledore winked down.

At the same time, Fleur criticized Roger Davies about Hogwarts decorations.

"It's nothing," she complained, looking at the glowing walls around the hall, "in Beauxbatons' palaces, in Klymas's canteen there are ice sculptures everywhere, they don't melt, of course, they are like huge diamond statues, illuminating the whole place, and the food is superb, and a group of beautiful girls made of wood sing while we eat, and there is no such ugly armor in our hall, and if a naughty man breaks into Beauxbatons he will be driven out like this." As she spoke, she slapped her hand impatiently on the table.

Roger Davis looked at her face as she spoke, the fork too old to speak, and Harry thought Davis was too busy watching Fluff and swallowing every word she said.

"That's right. Davis said quickly, imitating Fleur slapping her hand on the table, "That's it, yes." ”

It's all about playing Davis like a monkey, but Van Lin and Ron know they must still like it.

Fleur is a friend of Van Lin, and Ron ......

Ron didn't take his eyes off Hermione.

Harry glanced around the hall, where Hagrid sat in one of the meals, his body wrapped in his shaggy brown suit, staring at the main table.

Harry saw him wave his hand, and looked in the direction to see that Miss Maxim also waved her hand, her opal glittering in the candlelight.
