Chapter 524: Prom, Snape's gaze
The foyer was packed with students, the doors of the auditorium had been closed, and everyone was wandering outside, meeting with other college dance partners while waiting for eight o'clock to come.
When Kyle and Connor walked over, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Fortunately, at this time, Fleur also came, she was wearing a silver-gray satin robe, she was stunningly beautiful, and she attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
Everyone also subconsciously looked at her dance partner......
"Fred?" Connor couldn't help but shout.
"No, he's ...... George," Kyle said.
"That's right, it's me." George winked at them, "But then again, Kyle, how the hell did you recognize us?" ”
"Because Fred said he had hired Angelina as a dance partner."
"Oh, how did I forget this." George patted his head.
The oak front door was opened, and everyone turned their heads to see Durmstrang's students and Karkaroff walking in together, and Krum walking in the front, beside a beautiful girl in a blue robe.
"Wait......" George rubbed his eyes, "Am I dazzled, how do I feel that girl looks so much like Hermione?" ”
"You're not dazzled." Kyle said, "She's Hermione." ”
"Merlin......" George smacked his lips, "Is Hermione that pretty?" The prom is magical......"
George was right, after Hermione smoothed her tousled hair, it was like a different person.
Harry didn't even recognize her as she walked by, and kept asking "where is Hermione......
It's a pity that he didn't have a camera, and it would have been interesting if he could have captured this part.
At that moment, the door to the auditorium was opened, and Professor McGonagall's voice rang out.
"Warriors, please come here!"
Connor straightened her skirt a little nervously, took Kyle's arm and walked forward, the chattering crowd making way for them to pass.
"You guys wait here first." Professor McGonagall led them to a Christmas tree at the entrance of the auditorium and let the others enter the auditorium first.
The wait was a bit long, but fortunately, they were all acquaintances, so I didn't feel embarrassed.
It wasn't until everyone had taken their seats in the Great Hall that Professor McGonagall came over again, and he told the Warriors and their dance partners to line up and follow her in.
They rushed in, the people in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically, and Kyle heard a whistling and turned his head to look...... Sure enough, it was Fred.
George subconsciously wanted to respond to him, but was glared at by Professor McGonagall and immediately became honest.
At this time, the Great Hall was completely transformed, the walls were covered with glittering silver frost, and the starry night sky was overhead, and hundreds of parasitic twigs and ivy hung overhead.
The biggest change was that the four college tables were gone, replaced by more than a hundred small tables lit with lanterns.
The same goes for the teacher's seat, where the five referees are sitting and looking at them with a smile.
Kyle wanted to sit next to Chris, but before he could take two steps, he felt his hand being grabbed by him, and Kyle had no choice but to follow Connor to Professor Dumbledore and sit down next to him.
To be honest, Kyle didn't really want to sit here...... It had nothing to do with Professor Dumbledore, mainly because Snape was right behind the position.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, except for Snape, whose face was gloomy as if he had found out that his treasured potion had been stolen.
And judging by his expression, Kyle couldn't guarantee if he would add something else to his food later.
It's a pity that it is this stunned kung fu, and there are already people in other positions, so he can only sit here.
As it turned out, Kyle's fears were justified, and as soon as he sat down, he felt a chill on his neck.
Just like the completely changed auditorium, today's dinner was very different.
Once the warriors were seated, Professor Dumbledore picked up the menu next to the plate, then pointed to his plate and said clearly, "Pork chops!" ”
The pork chops appeared immediately.
A la carte service...... This was no stranger to Hufflepuff students, but it was the first time it had appeared in the auditorium.
Kyle wasn't in the mood to eat, though, and the malice behind him was so obvious that if he put a speculum on the table, it would be able to spin out the spark or burrow the table out.
Kyle couldn't help but straighten his collar, he wanted to ask Professor Dumbledore if Snape had ever been in the kitchen before.
However, compared to Kyle, who was on his toll, the others behaved much more normally, George was telling Fleur some interesting things that happened at school, and Fleur seemed very interested, and took the initiative to ask about the Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
She had heard of this amazing position even in Beauxbatons.
George suddenly became distracted, and although this was true, he also wanted to maintain Hogwarts' reputation a little, so he just said a few words and fooled it away.
On the other hand, Krum was briefing Hermione about Durmstrong, but was stopped by Karkaroff in the middle of speaking.
He didn't seem to really want to let anyone else know about Durmstrang, fearing that if Krum said too much, others would guess the location of the school.
"Igor......" Dumbledore said with a laugh, "you keep it a secret, people will think that you don't welcome anyone to visit......"
"Oh, Albus......" said Karkaroff, "we all want to protect our private domains, don't we ......"
"Ho ......"
As he said this, Kyle suddenly heard an undisguised laugh behind him.
It was Professor Moody, and though his back was to the group, Kyle was sure that his MONOCULUS must be looking at them through the back of his head.
"Dumbledore......" he said, "I should have asked for a salary increase if I had known that Hogwarts was your personal domain." ”
"Hogwarts never belongs to anyone, it belongs to all students......" Dumbledore said, "Of course, this does not affect your reasonable request for a raise, I will consider it." ”
Interrupted by Professor Moody, Karkaroff was in no mood to continue.
"I'm just kidding, Professor Moody." Karkaroff said and laughed, but there was not the slightest hint of a smile in his cold eyes.
Half an hour later, everything was finished.
As the barely touched beef stewed Hungarian beef on Kyle's plate disappeared, Dumbledore stood up and called for the students to do the same.
With a wave of his wand, the table disappeared, and a huge stage was added in the middle of the auditorium, with a variety of different musical instruments.
Amid a scream, the Eccentric Sisters swarmed onto the stage.
As the only band to appear in the Chocolate Frog Picture, they are extremely popular throughout the wizarding world, and even if they just show up, they will make the auditorium boil.
And when they picked up their instruments, the warriors also stood up.
The first song they play is "Hippogriff", and Kyle walks onto the brightly lit dance floor, feeling like he's never been so nervous about the first event of the Triwizard Tournament.
Then he took Connor's hand and placed his other hand on her waist.
He could clearly feel Connor's body tense for a moment, but then returned to normal.
The chilling sensation in his neck was becoming more and more apparent, but Kyle didn't care about it anymore.
He remembered what Professor McGonagall had taught him before, and when the melody sounded, he took Connor slowly.
When it came time to jump, Kyle wasn't as nervous as he used to be, and he became more and more proficient in his movements, slowly spinning in circles with Connor.
Strangely, while all three warriors are dancing, and while Fleur and Krum are also eye-catching, most people's eyes are always on Kyle and Connor, as if the stage was built for them.
"That's good...... Dumbledore's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head slightly by wiping his glasses.
Professor McGonagall looked proud.
The people who are amazed the audience now are the ones she taught...... As for Professor Flitwick and Nick, who was almost headless, they were just teaching assistants and didn't deserve a name.
Of course, there are happy and unhappy.
With a clatter, Snape snapped the knife he had been holding, his eyes fixed on the dance floor, not even noticing Sirius Black, who had been dangling beside him.
Probably bored, seeing that Snape ignored him, Sirius did not continue to provoke. He approached Professor McGonagall and gentlemanly invited her to do a dance.
Professor McGonagall readily agreed.
Halfway through the song, more people are on the dance floor, and the Warriors are no longer the center of attention, but people are subconsciously vacating the middle, where Kyle and Connor are.
Soon, the tune ended.
Then there is the second one, which is much faster than just now.
"It's Magic Gadget." Kyle said, "Their most popular song, and it made it to the Chocolate Frog Picture." ”
As he spoke, Kyle let go of Connor and switched to another cheerful dance move.
……
They danced a total of three dances before finally leaving the dance floor.
It's not that he's tired, it's because Kyle has only learned these three songs, and if he doesn't go on, he can only dance around.
He looked at Connor, who was flushed and out of breath, and asked, "Would you like something to drink?" How about pumpkin soda. ”
Connor nodded.
Kyle walks over to the round table with drinks and desserts, where he sees Ron and Harry munching on pudding.
"You ...... I don't think I'll be eating dessert here all the time. ”
"yes." Harry swallowed a large mouthful of pudding and said as a matter of course, "We don't have to dance anyway, do we?" ”
"Fortunately, I'm not a warrior, otherwise I'm in charge of the opening dance, otherwise I'll ......" He couldn't help but shudder, as if thinking of something terrible, and quickly changed the subject: "Try this, custard jam pudding, Ron and I agree that it's the best dessert of all." ”
Kyle raised an eyebrow, good guy, it's a buffet.
Still, he accepted Harry's suggestion and took an extra pudding in addition to the pumpkin soda.
After all, Harry had eaten three songs here, and what he recommended should be no different.
