When Kyle returns with pudding and pumpkin soda, he sees a Durmstrang boy standing in front of Connor, seemingly trying to invite her to dance.

Connor refused, though, and the boy didn't bother, turning around and walking towards another Gryffindor girl not far away, Kyle remembered that her name seemed to be Parvati or something, and she was in the same grade as Harry anyway.

"Let's have some soda." Kyle stepped forward and handed over the item in his hand, "Someone recommended that this pudding tasted good. ”

Connor took the pudding and took a bite, her cheeks flushed slightly after three dances in a row.

"Hogwarts has never been so lively before, has it?" "Everyone seemed happy, it was the best Christmas," she said. ”

"yes." Kyle said.

Of course, it would be better if someone could not keep staring at him all the time.

Kyle was referring to none other than Professor Snape......

When he was dancing just now, his gaze disappeared for a moment, but just as he went to get a drink, the feeling of being on his back reappeared.

Kyle turned his head just in time to see Snape standing at a table not far away, staring at him without blinking.

Beside Snape stood Karkaroff, his expression a little anxious, and he kept pointing to the door, as if he had something important to discuss with Snape.

Kyle tilted his head curiously, trying to hear what they were saying, but due to the distance and the noise around him, he could only faintly hear a staccato sound

"You know that...... Severus...... It's important......"

"We've talked about it...... Igor, you're making a big fuss......"

"Hello." Just as Kyle was listening, a Beauxbatons girl suddenly stopped in front of him, "Can we dance together?" ”

"Sorry, I might need some energy." Kyle lifted the pumpkin soda next to him and took a sip.

The girl looked disappointed.

"But I can recommend another person to you." Kyle continued, gesturing to the man at the dessert table who was flaunting his butterbeer, "Harry Potter, have you heard of it, I noticed that no one has invited him yet. ”

"The famous savior?" Beauxbatons' girl was curious at first, and then when she saw Harry's appearance, she was puzzled, "He doesn't look like the legend is." ”

"Maybe it's hungry, or maybe it's because no one invites, so I can only use this way to hide my embarrassment."

"Really?" The girl walked over suspiciously.

When Kyle turned his head, he saw Connor looking at him with a strange look.

"It's rare to have a ball at Hogwarts......" Kyle shrugged, explaining, "It's a bit of a shame to have a buffet here." ”

"I'm not talking about that."

Somehow, Connor's face turned even redder, and she looked at the cup in Kyle's hand and said in a small voice, "I've already drunk this drink you took." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'll give it to me." Kyle laughs, "Dancing is a lot of work, and I don't want to run again." ”

"Yes...... It's okay......," Connor said, his voice so low that he could barely hear it.

"Thank you."

"Ho, it seems that our Mr. Warrior likes to drink pumpkin soda." A cold voice came from behind him.

Snape didn't know when he got behind Kyle, and without saying a word, he snatched the cup from Kyle's hand and roughly shoved another pumpkin soda over him.

Because of the exertion, a lot of soda spilled out of the cup and spilled on Kyle's gown robes.

"It's okay if you don't want to move, I can help you get it." Snape said with a cold look in his eyes, "You're welcome, drink it." ”

"Uh...... Professor. Kyle laughed twice, "I just drank it...... Well...... Not yet. ”

Just kidding, even if he had ten more guts, he wouldn't dare drink what Snape had brought.

"Yes......" Snape said in a long voice.

He seemed to want to say something more, but at this moment, a sudden quarrel from not far away caught his attention.

Snape looked for the sound and realized that it was Hermione and Ron on the two sides of the argument before he withdrew his gaze again...... Apparently not prepared to deal with this contradiction.

"When do you want to drink pumpkin soda, just come to me and make sure you have enough." Snape said with a sad finish, and returned to his previous position, looking like an owl on guard.

He didn't choose to take Connor out of the ball...... Probably because there were hardly any other people in the Hufflepuff common room at this time.

At least here he can still watch, and if there is any situation, he can stop it in time.

Kyle was then targeted, unable to go, dance, or leave the Great Hall, and was forced to join Harry's buffet party.

However, Harry and Ron didn't look like much, Hermione was gone, Ron was complaining about something, and then left the auditorium with Harry.

Kyle and Connor moved to the other side of the table and sat down furthest from the dance floor, eating pudding and muffins, chatting from the Triwizard Tournament to the second event to Cedric's skimming ...... What comes to mind and what to talk about.

But looking at Connor's appearance, she seems to be quite happy with the current situation.

Occasionally, someone invited them to dance, but both of them found reasons to refuse.

An hour later, the ball was home to Fred and George, who had abandoned their respective partners and danced a cheerful tap dance as if no one was around.

The quirky sisters are also intrigued, and what was supposed to be soothing music is instantly transformed into cheerful drum beats.

After noticing this, the people around them also got involved...... This time, even Kyle and Connor couldn't sit there any longer, and they were dragged to the middle of the dance floor by Cedric and Cholen to join the party.

The atmosphere of the ball reached its climax at this moment.

……

And so it went on until twelve o'clock in the night, when the Weird Sisters stopped playing.

They were greeted with applause again and began to walk towards the foyer.

"Awesome......"

"I like the weird sisters so much, I didn't expect the school to find them......"

"Hopefully there will be another opportunity like this in the future, preferably again every Christmas......"

"Probably unlikely, don't forget it's a Triwizard Tournament ball......"

"That's why I said I hope I can ......"

Everyone chattered to the foyer.

Karkaroff finally seized the opportunity and dragged the red-eyed Snape to the grounds outside the castle.

"Phew, he's finally gone." Kyle said quietly.

Connor chuckled beside her. "It's okay, maybe there's a dance party next year."

"If that's the case......" Kyle glanced in the direction of the castle gates, "I hope the Headmaster had better find something to do for Professor Snape in advance, as long as he doesn't stay at Hogwarts."

After all, he doesn't seem to have any interest in dancing, does he? ”
