Chapter 407 Only when You Are Full Can You Have Strength
The ball is finally coming, and the whole castle is filled with joy on this winter night.
The Gryffindor common room looked strange. The students no longer wore all black robes, but instead wore colorful formal robes.
The boys had their hair combed into an adult style, their robes were pressed and their leather shoes were polished. The girls also put on various skirts and robes, vying for beauty.
The twins wore identical robes and seemed to enjoy making it difficult to tell who was who. The two brothers stood in the common room, watching the girls coming and going.
"I didn't realize there were so many girls in Gryffindor before." Fred sighed.
"Yeah, I haven't noticed that some of them are quite beautiful." George also said.
While the two brothers were admiring the beauty, Harry and Ron also appeared in the common room. The robe Ron was wearing was not the one bought by Mrs. Weasley, but a Christmas present from Bill and Charlie.
"Hey, Ron, why don't you wear that purple robe that mom bought!" Fred teased Ron with a smile. George chimed in and said, "Yes, your mother will be sad if you do this!"
"Shut up," Ron said with a red face and angrily.
At this time, Parvati Patil came over. She looked very beautiful, wearing a dazzling pink robe, her black hair was braided with gold ribbons, and she had shiny gold bracelets on her wrists.
Parvati Patil said, "Let's go down, shall we, Harry?" Then she said to Ron, "Padma will meet you in the hall."
Padma is the sister of Parvati Patil, a student of Ravenclaw, and Ron's dance partner tonight.
"Did you see Hermione?" Ron said, looking around, "Fred, George?"
The twins shook their heads. They did not see Hermione. Fred said: "Come on now, you don't have to worry about Hermione at all. Have a good time tonight, my brother."
Harry, Ron, and Parvati then left the common room, but Ron was still looking around on the way out, probably looking for Hermione.
The foyer was also crowded with students, milling back and forth, waiting for eight o'clock to arrive, when the door to the auditorium would open. Some people want to meet their dance partners from other colleges, so they squeeze through the crowd sideways to look for each other.
The shouts and conversations of students filled the entrance hall, and everyone was unleashing their charm on this night.
The crowd suddenly became quieter, and Ron hid behind Harry because Fleur Delacour walked over. She was stunningly beautiful in a silver-grey satin gown, and her dancing partner was Roger Davis of Ravenclaw.
A licking dog less loyal than Héctor Rozier.
More and more people gathered in front of the foyer, and after a group of Slytherin students arrived, so did the Durmstrang students. Next to Krum was a beautiful girl in a blue robe that no one knew.
Everyone was marveling at the beauty of this strange girl. Gradually, someone recognized her and exclaimed: "Hermione Granger!"
Her usually messy hair became soft and shiny, and was pulled into an elegant bun on the back of her head. Her whole temperament also changed. Now Hermione was like a proud white swan.
People in front of the foyer couldn't believe it. Is this girl really the "know-it-all second generation" and the "Miss Beaver"? She actually became Viktor Klum's dance partner. How did she do it?
Before the students could shake off their doubts, the door to the auditorium was opened. Professor McGonagall came out and shouted, "Warriors please come here!"
The three warriors and their dancing partners pushed through the crowd to reach Professor McGonagall in her red tartan robes.
Professor McGonagall asked again: "Where is Ada?" Harry shook his head. He had not seen Ada since the afternoon.
"Fred Weasley, where is Ada?" Professor McGonagall called to Fred in the crowd, "Have you seen her?"
"Professor, she should be here soon!" Fred shouted.
Professor McGonagall shouted again: "Ask Angelina beside you to urge her. If she doesn't come, I will go to the common room myself!"
Professor McGonagall didn't know that Ada had overslept. She thought Ada was playing some trick again and wanted to avoid the opening.
"No, here it is! I'm coming!"
They heard his voice before seeing him. The students who had not yet entered the auditorium followed the voice and saw Ada's anxious head sticking out from the landing.
Her long golden hair was tied behind her head, and an exquisite crown shone in the light of the torch.
The students in front of the foyer did not think there was anything indecent or abrupt about Ada's movements. Instead, they felt as if they had seen a deer in the forest.
The only pity is that this deer is a carnivore.
Ada walked out from behind the stairs. She was wearing a long black dress, as if the night sky was covering her body. The diamonds on the dress were like the stars in the night sky.
When Ada walked down the stairs, the students noticed that Ada's figure seemed to be taller tonight, and the long dark skirt also made her skin fairer and glowing.
The exposed collarbone and neck are just right, and the concave gap is like an intoxicating spring. You can't help but want to kiss, but you can't bear to blaspheme.
Different from Fleur Delacour's stunning appearance when she appeared, and different from Hermione Granger's stunning appearance when she first appeared, Ada tonight is like a graceful fairy in the forest and a noble succubus in the lake.
Everyone in front of the foyer, both men and women, were a little stunned and forgot to continue entering. Some people were so mesmerized that they opened their mouths wide. The dance partners around them pinched their arms until they were bruised, but they didn't react at all.
At this time, George happened to appear next to Ada. Everyone woke up, cursed their bad luck, and started to enter the venue again.
Seeing that the dance was going on as normal, Professor McGonagall also withdrew her unkind gaze, and decided to discipline these students after school started.
After the students were all seated in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the warriors and their dance partners to line up two by two and follow her in. The warriors filed in and headed towards a large round table in front of the auditorium where the referees were sitting. The people in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically.
The walls of the auditorium were covered with sparkling silver frost, and the ceiling was a starry night sky, which happened to match Ada's long dress.
When the warriors sat down in their seats, the Christmas dinner officially began.
Ada thought this arrangement was very good. She had to fill her stomach first, so that she would have the strength to escape... No, she would have the strength to dance. But looking at the empty golden dinner plate, Ada frowned, where is the food?
Fortunately, Dumbledore was always considerate. He picked up the small menu on the side of the plate and pointed at his plate and said very clearly: "Pork chops!"
A delicious pork chop appeared on the golden dinner plate immediately. Everyone suddenly realized what he was doing, and they all followed suit and ordered their favorite food on their plates.
The sound of cups and plates and the voices of everyone talking soon came to mind in the auditorium, and the table where Ada was sitting was no exception.
Roger Davis showed off his true nature as a licking dog and served Fleur with all his heart. Looking at Hector from a distance, his teeth were about to be broken. Krum happily shared everything about Durmstrang with Hermione. This was the first time anyone had heard him speak so much.
"I suddenly felt that compared with Krum, it would be normal for my brother to lose." George whispered in Ada's ear.
"If your brother can't find a girlfriend in his life, it won't be because of anything else but his poor emotional intelligence." Ada also responded in a low voice.
Karkaroff soon deprived Krum of the fun and refused to let Krum continue talking. Krum closed his mouth and his expression returned to his old state, but he still took care of Hermione very gently.
Dumbledore smiled, his eyes sparkling.
"Igor, if you keep such a secret... people will think that you don't welcome others to visit. By the way, we have another warrior here who has a close relationship with Durmstrang!"
Everyone at the table didn't know what Dumbledore was going to say, so they all looked at him, but Dumbledore looked at Ada and said, "Right, Ada?"
Everyone turned to look at Ada again.
Putting down the knife and fork in her hand, Ada wiped her lips gracefully and said: "Yes, Professor. My father graduated from Durmstrang. At that time, the principal of Durmstrang was not Karkaroff. gentlemen."
Everyone really didn't know about this old incident. Just when she was about to say something to cheer her up, she heard Ada continue: "Fortunately, I can't go to Durmstrang to go to school. I'm not cold-resistant and can't stand the bad environment there."
Ah, this... I swallowed all the words.
There are all smart people sitting at this table, who can’t hear the implication of Ada! It sounds like it's talking about Durmstrang's freezing environment, but in fact it's full of disdain for Karkaroff.
Dumbledore hurriedly reconciled and said with a smile: "Go to another school quickly! Without you being naughty and mischievous at Hogwarts, I might be able to live for a few more years!"
Ms. Maxim, who was much taller than others even when she was sitting, kept shouting in her heart: Come on, come to Beauxbatons! Come to Beauxbatons, I will give you the sun in the sky if you want it!
"I won't leave, I won't go anywhere, I'm nostalgic," Ada said. You stinky old man, you want to imitate Grindelwald and drive me away, but there is no way!
Ms. Maxim next to her clenched her hands into fists under the table and roared like crazy in her heart: The Pyrenees is not much warmer than Scotland! Why can't you bear the cold, you big liar!
