Chapter 709: Warriors and Dance Partners

People's attention was drawn to the sudden appearance of the large squid and the creatures that appeared later, all staring at their feet with wide eyes.

The so-called elephant is invisible.

No one could see the whole picture of the huge squid, but the creatures that appeared later could be seen clearly.

It was a group of creatures with human upper bodies and faces, as well as fish tails, that looked like mermaids from Muggle mythology, but alas, these strange creatures had nothing to do with beauty.

Through the ice, one could faintly see that their skin was iron-gray, and their dark green hair was long and unkempt. Their eyes are yellow, their mutilated teeth are yellow, and they wear pebbles strung with thick ropes around their necks.

It's a mermaid!

By the time Professor Bryan conjured up the golden menu that flew automatically to each table, the senior students had already told their classmates at the next table the answers.

"Merfolk."

Ron lowered his voice and tilted his head slightly to face Hermione,

"What's that?"

Ron thought Hermione would be able to answer the question, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear a single word of explanation, he looked sideways at Hermione, but saw Hermione frowning, his eyes jumped over the table in front of him and looked at the mermaids, as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong, Hermione, what did you find?"

"Oh, nothing--"

The merfolk finally convinced the squid not to interfere with the wizards' celebrations, and they left together, and Hermione finally withdrew her gaze, but her eyes still flashed with thought,

"I thought of the merfolk."

In the middle of speaking, Hermione suddenly came to her senses and stopped her mouth smartly, because there were other warriors and Ministry of Magic officials sitting next to him!

Harry heard Professor Dumbledore pronounce the names of the dishes on the menu, and then, immediately in front of him, the corresponding food appeared in front of him, and those who saw this scene followed suit, and Harry followed Professor Dumbledore's example and brought himself a Hungarian red wine stewed beef.

Perhaps because the cold and surprise had consumed too much energy, the young wizards began to feast on their meals, but the people seated at the guest of honor were in scruples about their own image, and they all remembered the etiquette of the meal.

A banquet where participants can indulge in a delicious lunch and a rare spectacle, but as an organizer, they can't be so chic.

Dumbledore's 'status' and seniority had allowed him to ignore these things, but Amosta couldn't, and throughout the dinner, he kept a polite smile and listened to Ludo Bagman's nagging, he and Dumbledore should have reported the plan for the dinner to the Ministry of Magic earlier, so that the Ministry of Magic could arrange for a reporter from the Daily Prophet to come over and record the scene when they made this ice castle, and on the other hand, Amosta also had to pay attention to whether the little warriors at the guest of honor and the colleagues at the faculty table had a good meal.

To Amosta's surprise, the warriors who should have enjoyed the envy of the people didn't seem to be very happy. Or rather, most of them are not very happy.

The 'genuine' warriors of Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory and the Asian girl of Ravenclaw get along very well, during the meal, the two of them get together from time to time to communicate in small pieces and whisper, Qiu Zhang, who has the special gentle beauty of oriental women, was amused by Cedric again and again, and the handsome and handsome Cedric occasionally threw his admiration into Qiu Zhang's eyes without concealing it.

Cedric and Autumn Zhang were both students in physical education class, and after teaching them for so long, Amosta couldn't fail to notice that there was already a secret affection between the two students

It's just a pity for Harry. Amosta remembered that in one class, Harry had secretly looked at Qiu Zhang forty-eight times, and he didn't even notice the 'hate of iron, not steel' glances that Hermione threw at him many times.

Like now.

Harry probably didn't notice it himself, but he always took advantage of the meal with his head down, his green eyes always glancing at Cedric and Autumn Zhang.

Fleur didn't care about Harry's little moves, in fact, she was deserting herself.

Just as Harry was secretly paying attention to Akihari, Fleur pretended to be listening to Lady Maxime from time to time, but in reality her attention was on herself. She looked at her with a look in her eyes that was not so angry, but full of resentment.

Fleur and Harry, the two of them are inseparable. From this point of view, it is quite suitable for pairing.

From what Fleur asked Harry to pass on, Amosta knew what Fleur was up to.

Trapping the most famous boys at Hogwarts to herself, Fleur probably wanted to prove her charm in this way, and Amosta understood her 'hard work', just

And the atmosphere between the duo of Hermione and Ron is also subtle.

Hermione unloaded more than just the school bag she was carrying, as the dinner progressed, her eyes became more and more calm in the face of Ron, and the problem was Ron.

The lad never seemed able to shake off his lack of confidence.

He sat there, every movement looking so restless.

Whether it was the gazes of the little wizards below, or the radiant Hermione beside him, it brought a lot of pressure to Ron.

To be honest, according to Amosta, this youngest son of the Weasley family is not not excellent, but his excellence is hidden deep in his heart, and his appearance is indeed relatively ordinary compared to these friends and siblings around him. And, perhaps because of his upbringing, Ron was always in a habit of comparing his own shortcomings to the strengths of others, which further added to his inner anxiety.

He has lived in a neglected environment for a long time, and his inferiority complex is still deeply rooted in his bones.

The best way to cure this is to build up his self-confidence by constantly gaining encouragement and adoration, but unfortunately, by being around two wonderful young men, Harry and Hermione, his neglect will continue.

The atmosphere of the conversation between Victor Krum and Daphne Greengrass was quite harmonious.

As a Quidditch world star, Victor Krum naturally knows how to maintain his image in front of the public, and Daphne, who is from the Greengrass family, is also good at this, and the two of them keep a proper distance and talk politely.

Merely. Victale seemed to have the same problem as Harry and Fleur, occasionally drifting his eyes to Hermione.

And, to Amosta's point of bewilderment, Krum's eyes always seemed to be avoiding him, this young man, is he so prejudiced against himself?

The dinner was full of food, but when they had filled their stomachs, people stopped paying attention to what they were eating, and instead craned their necks to look at Professor Brian. When Amosta noticed that even Madame Maxime was responding to Hagrid's eager gaze, he smiled slightly, negotiated with Dumbledore, and rose from his seat.

With a wave of his wand, all the tables slowly sank to the ground, and a huge stage rose from the ground.

Under a pine tree, a pure piano appeared, still changing from ice, the keys beating automatically, and the soothing and sad dance music played melodiously in the hall.

"So--"

Amosta looked at the warriors around him who were visibly nervous,

"Ladies and gentlemen, get restless!"
