Chapter 397 Dance Partner (Modified)

Following the tune of the armor, Peeves sang some very rough and ugly words that he had made up, while hiding in the gap of the armor.

With a jerk from Hagrid, Peeves was successfully yanked out, but the clanging echoed throughout the Great Hall, and the armor scattered across the floor.

Argus Filch had a brilliant expression on his face. He muttered and bent over to pick up the armor parts on the ground.

After all, Rubeus Hagrid was the professor now, and he was helping him, so he couldn't reprimand Hagrid loudly.

"Recovery as before." All the armor parts flew up from the ground, recovered quickly, and stood against the wall.

"Thank you, Alan." Hagrid grinned at Alan, "Did you also come to see the rehearsal of the rock band?"

In the center of the auditorium, a stage was set up to ensure that everyone in every corner could see that some wizards in old-fashioned costumes were adjusting their instruments.

More and more young wizards are gathering there.

"Yeah, I need them to add a song in the middle." Allen raised the score in his hand.

Hagrid nodded knowingly, "You are a warrior and number one. You need to lead the dance. It is necessary to communicate with the band."

Allen nodded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and whispered to Hagrid: "Hagrid, remember, don't talk about your giant blood with Madam Maxim in public."

Hagrid was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out, "Why?"

"Let's not mention whether she personally minds her identity as a half-blood giant, but the wizarding world generally has prejudice against giants, especially the proud Frenchmen. If her identity as a giant is exposed, Beauxbaton's school directors may There is a reason to trouble her." Allen explained patiently.

Hagrid nodded in a daze, and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Wait, how do you know we are half-blood giants?"

Allen felt a bit of a headache at Hagrid's shock. He turned his head and looked left and right, and he was relieved when he found no one was paying attention: "It seems that for the sake of Merlin's fat pants, you have to keep your voice down. The available one is O, sorry Hagrid, let me take care of something first, we'll talk later."

After finishing speaking, Allen walked towards the band. On the stage, the band that accompanies the dance has completed the audition and is about to leave.

"Sorry to bother you." Allen walked up to Jared Leto, the soul of the band. "My name is Allen Harris. I have something to talk to you about. Is it convenient?"

"The only wizard who uses the magic creature phoenix as an Animagus today, the world's number one seeker, Mr. Harris, my name is Jared Leto, nice to meet you, what can I do for you ?” Jared Leto smiled, and he recognized that the young man in front of him was an important member of the current hot Harris family in the magic world.

Allen handed the music score in his hand to the other party, "Mr. Leto, please insert this song in the dance music of the Christmas party, of course, without affecting the first opening song."

"No problem." Jared, who knew Alan's background and identity, agreed without hesitation, took the score, and at the same time took the small bag of Galleons that Alan hid in his hand.

When Allen left the auditorium and walked out of the foyer, he found a group of people gathered there, full of people.

"Miss Delacour, I want to invite you to be my dance partner." Ron's voice came from inside.

The corner of Allen's right lip raised slightly, narrowed his eyes and squeezed into the crowd.

Ron was in the middle of the crowd, cheeks and ears and hair ablaze.

Fleur looked at Ron, as if he was a sea cucumber or something, and didn't even bother to answer.

Ron seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran away quickly.

"Alan." Fleur came over affectionately, took Alan's arm, walked out regardless of other people's eyes, and said excitedly as she walked: "Albert sent me a letter, and he invited me as a Christmas presenter." Dance partner at the ball."

"That's good.

"Alan looked at Fleur, who was more beautiful because of joy, and was happy for Albert.

For Hermione, even if the potion was bubbling and boiling in the cauldron, she felt that there were pink bubbles bubbling from it.

Even after Potions class, when she helped Neville clean up the shattered cauldron, there was a smile on her lips.

"Hermione, thank you." Neville took a long breath.

"It's nothing, just don't put porcupine quills in the fire next time." Hermione was in a good mood, even her tone was softer than usual.

"Hermione, thank you." Neville thanked again, blushing. "You have always been so kind and treated me very well. You often help me find Lai Fu and help me with my homework. Can I invite you to be..."

"Sorry Neville, I've already promised someone else." Before Neville could say the invitation, Hermione refused.

Hermione didn't want to look at Neville's hurt eyes, and walked out of the classroom with her textbooks in her arms. But she was in a better mood, "Sure enough, interrupting others is much more enjoyable than being interrupted."

In the corridor leading to the Gryffindor common room, Hermione saw Luna bouncing ahead, with Ravenclaw's ghost, Mrs Gray, floating quietly behind her.

"Hey, Luna, what are you doing?" Hermione thinks that Luna is a very magical person, not only loved by dragons, but even Mrs. Gray, who is very arrogant and difficult to approach, is willing to get close to her.

"Helena and I are looking for something I lost before." Luna replied cheerfully.

"Luna...about the Christmas ball" Hermione thought of Alan's invitation to her, and wanted to comfort Luna but didn't know how to say "I...that..."

Luna took her hand and interrupted Hermione who was organizing her words: "Don't worry, I don't want to attend this dance."

"Helena, let's go." Luna nodded to Hermione, and continued their treasure hunt—leaving Miss Know-it-all in place who couldn't figure it out and was a little dazed.

On Christmas morning, Alan pulled back the curtains on his four-poster bed to see a large pile at the foot of the bed.

Allen unwrapped the presents very quickly, among which he deliberately put the gift from Aunt Josephine's mail aside.

After looking through it, Allen summoned Benny and gave out the gift.

Hogwarts potions professor's office. On such a day of national celebration, Severus Snape still chose to study his potions in the office.

Seeing Benny flying in through the window, he rarely showed surprise on his face. "Who will give myself a present?"

Benny dropped the gift box on his desk, nearly knocking over the potion bottle he had just filled.

Snape opened the package, and there were greeting cards and photo albums inside. When he saw Alan's greeting card, he threw the greeting card and photo album out, but the greeting card drew an arc in mid-air, turned around and flew away by itself. return.

Snape pinched the greeting card with a sullen expression, and glanced at the contents of the card. Afterwards, he stood up abruptly, ignoring the feet that bumped into the table, picked up the photo album, and held it in his hands cherishingly.

Just the words on the cover made Snape stunned for a long time.

"Long live friendship - Lily Evans." Snape softly read the text on the album cover, stroking the letters with slightly trembling fingers.

Flipping it open, a very beautiful girl with long dark red hair and almond-shaped green eyes was smiling brightly at him.

After a long time, he raised his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.
