There are strict requirements for epaulettes in the navy dress, and only generals above the brigadier general are eligible to wear epaulettes, so even Uncle Phil, who had just joined the army that year, could only accompany his aunt on a parade with bare shoulders as a lieutenant colonel, until he got the rank of marshal after taking the throne, and he was eligible to wear a single epaulet.

So Louis is just enough for this qualification, the fourteen-year-old brigadier general, it's a bit outrageous to say, but when I think about it, it's not too outrageous.

It should be said that grandpa didn't completely cheat him, and he sent not only a dress, but also a navy tuxedo for dinner parties and balls, and Louis was secretly relieved, at least not so socially dead.

After reluctantly changing clothes, Louis stretched the collar of the gown and commented with a smile: "Compared to the formal dress, I actually prefer this kind of Royal Navy tuxedo with small lapels, in the end, the navy, the dress is reasonable with you, let your neck enjoy freedom, unfettered, representing the freedom and fearlessness of the sea."

"If you change into a marshal's uniform, it will be a better match for you." Sakuya praised Louis very sensibly.

Louis snorted and laughed, "That's sooner or later, just wait for that day."

There is nothing wrong with what he said, and according to the little connections in the family, if nothing else, such as dying like Harry, it will not be difficult to become a marshal in a few decades.

After looking in the mirror for a while, Louis shook his neck awkwardly and said with some discomfort, "But this shirt is so tight that it doesn't have that kind of meda feeling...... Look at the bow tie you chose, it's a little bigger."

"I think it's a kind of confidence." Sakiya smiles as she straightens Louis' collar and tries to loosen it up when he can't be seen.

Louis rolled his eyes, looked in the mirror and smiled, "But then again, what satisfies me the most is that this simplified version of the dress is much more modest than it was a hundred years ago, and lo and behold, there is no such ostentatious large-scale embroidery and ornate decorations, but these bits and pieces are a little too cumbersome."

Louis refers to the filigree pendant that ranges from the epaulettes to the chest.

"I think it's very good-looking, and it compliments your temperament." Sakuya said as she buttoned Louis's waistcoat with the last button, "Sometimes, complexity is also a kind of beauty, don't you say?"

"You're on point, the so-called etiquette is complicated, just to show that it is different from ordinary people, in fact, most of it is useless garbage." Louis commented that he has the capital and the qualifications to do so.

"You're right, but you can't say the same to anyone else." Sakiya pursed her lips and smiled, "Just close the door and talk about it yourself."

"I'm not Hagrid, no." Louis waved his hand nonchalantly, and invisibly persecuted Hagrid again.

Hagrid: Doesn't your conscience hurt?

"Okay, you can go out, I think the young lady is already in a hurry." Sakiya covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'll add that you really have a temperament."

"You don't see who my grandson is." Louis said helplessly, alas, I feel that I have been living a very tired life, and I am burdened with a handsomeness that should not be borne at this age.

Sakiya covered her mouth and chuckled, but did not answer.

Louis finally craned his neck to look back and forth, and after making sure that there was nothing too serious, he walked out of the room.

It should be said that Louis's height of more than 1.80 meters can fully support this dress, perhaps because he has spent too much time in other worlds, so he looks much more mature than other peers. Catherine looked at this fawn, which was very different from usual, and couldn't help but be stupid for a while.

"My son is so handsome!" Emma lip synched, gave Louis a thumbs up, and quietly exited the room, leaving a little room for the young couple.

"How?" Louis pretended to spread his hands easily, but in fact he was still a little nervous.

"I love it." Catherine's gaze was a little mesmerized.

Louis chuckled, remembering Christmas in the first grade

The little episode asked very abruptly, "Is it the same as in the Mirror of Eris?"

"No, the uniform in the Mirror of Eris is white...... Catherine replied subconsciously, and then realized what she had said, and she quickly covered her mouth and glared at Louis with a sharp look.

After a while, she waved her little fist at Louis fiercely, "Don't say it!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say it." Louis was happy, he walked up to his senior sister and whispered in her ear, "Little Moon, can you not be so cute?"

Catherine didn't answer, her nose wrinkled delicately, and she stretched out her little fist and tapped lightly on his waist, and her eyes rolled and she gave him a seductive look.

"You're getting cuter." Louis couldn't help but lower his head and kiss it.

After a while, the two finally walked out of the office. There was no dinner in the evening, and the school did not prepare the Christmas refreshments that it should have at this time of year, because there was a feast at the dance party for a while. At this time, the students had already returned to their respective lounges, and at five o'clock, they came out of the dormitory one after another, dressed in their carefully prepared costumes, and began to look for their respective dance partners.

The students had arrived in the foyer early, and Louis was walking in that direction, and his eagle wings were indeed a bit bigger, and Neville's dance partner was no longer Ginny, but Parvati, the third sister of the same year.

Parvati is actually very beautiful, unlike the yam eggs in the movie that look a bit like the Dalit class, in fact, Parvati's skin is very fair, Louis always feels a little familiar, and the more you look at her, the more she looks like the Holi beauty who danced with Yongzi back then.

She wore a piercing pink dress, her jet-black hair was braided with gold ribbons, and the gold bracelets on her wrists were shining.

"You kid...... Seamus probed his head and muttered to Neville, "I actually got the prettiest girl in the grade, what a biting dog doesn't bark......

[In view of the general environment,

"You're the dog." Neville certainly wouldn't let Seamus describe himself that way.

The foyer was crowded with students, all circling back and forth, waiting for six o'clock, when the ball was officially held, and the auditorium would not open until then. Some people want to meet up with dance partners from other houses, so they squeeze sideways through the crowd, looking for each other.

Louis notices his cousin Elizabeth Yin, who disguises herself as a man and invites Luna to the ball......

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Louis always felt a cheering sound in the hallway.

"Cousin!" Yin Lizabeth saw Louis's figure and shouted excitedly.

She dragged Luna through the crowd like a fish, looked her good big brother up and down, and let out a loud tsk.

"Okay, you, you really deserve to be my aunt's favorite child, Commodore Admiral...... Tsk."

"Envy, huh?" Louis lowered his voice and slapped the back of her head, "Stinky girls don't learn well, so they like to play masquerading as women, right?"

"Don't think about it, Luna and I are just friends," Elizabeth Yin glanced at Louis, "No one invited the two of us to the ball, so I had to make this decision, hoping that Professor McGonagall wouldn't find out......

That being said, but Yin Lizabeth's eyes kept staring at Louis with watery eyes.

"I get your hint." Louis sighed and rubbed her head, "Don't worry, Professor McGonagall has me to tell you to come to the party in peace......

"I know that my cousin is the most reliable, long live my cousin!" Yin Lizabeth raised her arms and cheered.

"Okay, I can't afford this long live, you better change someone to fool you." Louis patted her helplessly.

At this time, there was an exclamation from the crowd, and Louis looked left and right, because the crowd was relatively dense, he didn't notice what was going on for a while.

Yin Lizabeth punched Louis and laughed

He said, "Okay, cousin, you've really picked up a treasure, Catherine is so beautiful......

At the end, he said with some sourness, "If I were a boy, I would definitely pursue her......

"Don't think about it, she's already famous." Louis chuckled and walked through the crowd to Catherine's side.

Catherine was not the kind of person who had stage fright, nor was she someone who cared about others, and because of the crowd, she did not go in to look for Louis, but stood like a queen, waiting for Louis to come back to find her.

When Louis returned to her, she whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, Elizabeth was dressed as a man for the party, and I was caught up, and she just begged me to intercede with Professor McGonagall and not drive her away......" Louis saw Elizabeth looking at her uneasily, and reached out to greet her.

"Then don't forget." Catherine whispered.

"Don't worry." Louis replied with a smile.

Harry squeezed through the crowd as well, followed by Lila Stassa in a long red dress, and an absent-minded Ron at the back. What does Louis think of Harry's pair, and how does he feel that the height difference is very cute.

"How's the preparation?" Louis asked with a smile.

"Of course it's good!" Harry raised his head a little smugly, "I've been practicing with Sister Lila in the Room of Requirement for a long time, hehehe......

"I'm almost an adult, how can I still look like a big fool......" Louis looked at Harry, who had poor image management, helplessly, and didn't know how to complain for a while.

He looked at Ron again and asked with some curiosity, "Why, you and Hermione haven't reconciled yet?" What about her?"

"I don't know, I've agreed to meet here at this time." Ron rubbed his foot against the ground, "I don't know what she's doing, oh my god...... Don't be angry and stop coming to the ball......

"Probably not, Ron." Louis said as he saw a beautiful woman he had never seen before, standing not far behind Ron.

Then he reacted, wasn't this Hermione?

"Hermione?" Louis asked, still somewhat uncertain.

"It's me." Hermione greeted everyone with a smile on her face, walked over and grabbed Ron's arm, looking at him with a look of surprise and disbelief, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Why, don't you know me?" Ron?"

It's no wonder that Ron didn't recognize it, Hermione had changed so much, her hair was no longer as unkempt as usual, but had become supple and shiny, with an elegant and virtuous bun at the back of her head; She wore a long flowing light blue dress, and her temperament was a little different today—if I had to describe it, she had unloaded the hundreds of books that usually hung on her face.

"I just, uh- I, well, I didn't—" Ron was a little incoherent.

Hermione was even happier to see her boyfriend so nervous and surprised, no one would be unhappy because her boyfriend was acting so well when he saw her.

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione asked deliberately with a sweet heart.

She actually wanted to hear something like "You're really beautiful, I'm very intoxicated."

But a straight man like Ron obviously wouldn't follow Hermione's intended script, he scratched his head, laughed, and said unexpectedly and reasonably, "I just didn't expect you're a girl too......

Hermione took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and exhaled softly.

Forget it, don't be angry, this is the boyfriend I chose, so I can't be angry no matter what......

But it's still so angry!

Louis heard Ron's straight man speak, and he looked at Harry, but he didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Harry was silent, and even let out an earth-shattering laugh, causing the students to look sideways, wondering what was going on here to cause the warrior to laugh so much.

total

It's just a musical word, there is no heart blooming, and there is no brain-opening music.

The Slytherin classmates also walked up the stairs from their underground common room, and at the top of the line was of course the snake head of the current "snake spirit", the "Viper" pit viper, Draco Malfoy.

He wore a black velvet gown with a high neck, followed by Pansy Parkinson in a light pink robe full of frillines.

"Do you think Draco doesn't look like a parish priest?" Harry whispered to Louis.

Louis glanced at it and almost laughed, but luckily he was professionally trained, and he wouldn't laugh unless he couldn't help it.

"Louis." Draco saw Louis here, and walked over excitedly and greeted him, "I didn't expect you to come so early...... Oh, Miss Worley, hello."

Catherine nodded, saying hello to Draco, while Louis patted Draco and said meaningfully, "Do you want to know what your Ponter thinks of you?"

Pansy's eyes lit up next to her.
