Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 902: Christmas Ball
With the walls of the Great Hall covered in glittering silver frost, the ceiling with a starry night sky, and hundreds of mistletoe sprigs and ivy garlands, it is not difficult to see that Hogwarts The professors have put a lot of thought into this Christmas ball.
The warriors came to the guest seat amid the applause of Dumbledore and the referees.
No one saw Karkaroff, and Mr. Crouch also did not come. Albert's acquaintance Percy Weasley replaced him.
Percy smiled and waved to Albert, and pulled away an empty chair beside him. The meaning was already obvious, and Albert took Katrina to sit next to Percy.
"I've been promoted, and now I'm Mr. Crouch's personal assistant, representing him at the Yule Ball." Percy said in a showy tone.
"Congratulations, I suddenly discovered that you have the potential of a workaholic." Albert smiled and picked up his menu, looking at the recipes on it.
"Working hard is one of the ways to get promoted quickly." Percy didn't care about Albert's teasing, "Mr. Crouch is very good at handling all kinds of things."
"You really think that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your luck is good now, but it won't be so good soon." After Albert waited for Dumbledore to demonstrate to everyone and ordered a pork chop, he also ordered a French fried foie gras for himself. Then he said to Katrina next to him: "I suggest you don't order steak. There have been a lot of troubles a while ago. The cattle in the whole of Europe may have problems. Now I dare not touch anything related to beef except milk. Food, you can try foreign food, it is a good experience.”
Harry, who just took a bite of the Hungarian goulash, suddenly became very excited.
Katrina glanced at Albert, and then ordered French fried foie gras. She cut a small piece with a knife and put it in her mouth, and found that it tasted really good.
"I think maybe you will be transferred to be an assistant to the Minister of Magic soon."
Albert ate some French fried foie gras and found that the chef's level can only be said to be average. Above is not bad.
"Assistant to the Minister of Magic?" Percy was a little dazed. He didn't suspect that Albert was lying to him, but he didn't understand what it meant.
"How could I suddenly become the assistant of the Minister of Magic? Could it be that Mr. Crouch will become the Minister of Magic? However, the election of the next Minister of Magic still needs..."
"When did Crouch's physical condition start to get worse?" Albert interrupted Percy's soliloquy and asked.
"He hasn't been right since the World Cup. It's no surprise - it's been too much work. Also, Mr. Crouch isn't as young as he used to be." Percy ate absently, seemingly still Think of yourself as an assistant to the Minister of Magic.
Albert also continued to chat with him, chatting with Katrina about the dishes on the plate, and by the way led the topic to travel, talking about some countries he had visited.
He hoped that Katrina would be able to travel around the world after she graduated from school, and it would not be safe to stay in the UK for the last few years unless she was willing to hide.
"Are you planning to travel too?" Katrina understood what Albert meant, but she couldn't figure out why the other party wanted her to travel.
Could it be that he thinks he's in the way?
This is not right, Albert's words always make her feel baffled.
"Yes, I have planned it." Albert ordered another pan-fried fish steak for himself, and continued: "Apart from some bad countries, there are still many good places suitable for travel."
Katrina was a little confused, and slowly ate the food on the plate, sometimes agreeing, and ordered the same food as Albert every time, but I have to say that the taste was really good.
"Are you curious about what I want to do in the future?" Katrina asked with raised eyebrows.
"No, I just want to give you some kind reminders to prevent you from encountering some bad things." Albert reminded kindly.
"So, you suggested that Isobel write a book." Katrina stared at Albert for a moment, then said suddenly: "I don't think she might be interested in those, she didn't even write a diary before."
"Oh, so what does Isobel like?" Albert asked, he really didn't know much about Isobel's interest.
"Actually, I don't know, almost no one knows what she is thinking." Katrina glanced at Albert, and said slowly, "It's like no one knows what you are thinking. To some extent, you are very similar and match very well."
Can you not match?
It's all engaged!
"What about you?" Albert asked casually, "What do you like?"
"Me? I haven't thought about it for now, I plan to graduate from school first." Katrina is indeed a little confused, she has been chasing Isobel's back.
"Think about it first, anyway, there is still a long time before graduation."
"Maybe, after I graduate, I will also study beauty medicine. Catherine and Valeria once invited me, and they seem to be interested in opening a chain of beauty stores in the UK, saying that this product is very good Make money." Katrina is really interested in beauty potions, and she is actually using them now, and the results are very good.
A beauty shop again?
Albert felt depressed and his liver hurt. He found that most of the beautiful girls he knew were dragged by those two guys to open a beauty shop.
"I remember my sister seemed to care about it too," recalls Katrina.
"Not going to work for the Ministry of Magic?"
"I remember you didn't like the Ministry of Magic," Katrina said.
"The Ministry of Magic will be in bad luck after a while, so it's always right to stay away from there." Albert muttered.
Katrina looked at Albert in surprise, and she felt as if she had guessed why Albert wanted her to leave England to travel elsewhere.
"What about you?"
"Definitely not in the UK."
Albert shifted his gaze to the other warriors, and Harry was struggling with the plate of Hungarian goulash, because he had already remembered what Albert said. Fleur Delacour was criticizing the decoration of Hogwarts to Roger Davis, and Hermione was teaching Krum to pronounce her name correctly. When she met Albert's eyes, she smiled .
Although English is an international lingua franca, many people actually don’t know how to speak it. Fleur Delacour also speaks it very badly. She even popped out a few sentences in French from time to time. I really don’t understand Roger Davis. How can I understand.
Perhaps, he didn't understand at all, and just responded like a fool, "That's right, that's it, that's right."
Of course, Albert doubted whether Fleur could understand. Students who could understand several languages like Yanila were after all only a minority.
Maybe, you know your mother tongue, and then you know French, because you spent several years at Beauxbaton School of Magic in France, and you have to know French to be able to stay and study in France, but other languages?
Elbert had learned English for nearly ten years in his previous life, but the results were not all returned to the teacher in the end. He does not deny that there are self-taught people, but such people are very few, and wizards are not language geniuses, otherwise there would not be only a few ancient runes that were excellent.
After everyone finished eating the Christmas party dinner, Dumbledore waved his wand to clear an open space, and then conjured up a bunch of musical instruments such as drums, guitars, and lutes.
Before everyone could react, a group of men with particularly thick hair and wearing black robes that were deliberately torn into tatters rushed onto the stage.
Yes, man.
The so-called "Weird Sisters" are not a pair of sisters, let alone sisters. They are actually a band of eight slovenly, tramp-like wizards.
"I really don't appreciate the so-called trends."
Listening to the thunderous applause erupting in his ears, Albert complained in a low voice.
Before Katrina opened her mouth, she heard Fleur Delacour's slightly mocking voice: "Your taste is really special."
"Maybe, you should ask the other audience." Albert shrugged, took Katrina's hand, and walked into the brightly lit dance floor. He put his hand on Katrina's waist, and another One hand pinched the other's hand, and began to dance along with the music.
Anyway, the reaction of the four warriors to the "weird sisters" on the stage was very average.
"What were you talking about?"
Katrina does not understand French, she is being led by Albert to dance, and she is careful not to step on Albert's feet.
"Miss Delacour complained about the band's dressing taste on the stage." Albert said softly, "Take it easy, just follow my rhythm."
"I quite like the songs of the Weird Sisters." Katrina said, humming softly.
"Isobel once said that too." Albert asked curiously, "Is your dance taught by Isobel?"
"Well, I practiced for a long time during the summer vacation, and I often stepped on her feet." Katrina found that she had never felt so relaxed before, and she was slowly circled by Albert, without any unfamiliarity at all. Not to worry about not keeping up with the beat.
"Do you dance a lot?"
Katrina gradually relaxed and began to enjoy the dance.
"No, I don't like dancing very much."
Albert took Katrina to dance with light steps. The two looked at each other, and Albert saw the smile on Katrina's face, which was very sweet and cute, a bit like Isobel, maybe just like Katrina said, their sisters are actually very similar.
"It doesn't look like you don't like dancing." Katrina is a little obsessed with this feeling now, and even hopes that the music will never stop.
"That's because I learn everything quickly." Albert said cheekily.
After the four warriors have danced for a while, others have entered the dance floor, and the warriors are no longer the center of everyone's attention.
The dance level of most students is actually very average, and it can even be said to be bad, so it is not pleasant to dance. when.
The slow, sad song that the strange sisters played at the beginning was actually a break-in time for the dancers off the stage. There was loud applause.
"Continue?" Albert asked. Naturally, he wouldn't treat Katrina as a tool, throwing her aside after using it once. Look at the savior Potter over there. After the end of the song, he hurriedly led his partner to leave the dance floor, obviously not intending to continue dancing.
"This piece of music is very nice!" Katrina's eyes sparkled, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Tonight, he belongs to himself, at least for now.
The rhythm of the second song was much faster than before. This time, Albert sped up the speed a little bit. Katrina, who was completely relaxed, was in a good state and quickly got used to the rhythm of the song.
All the girls nearby looked at the two with envy, but those envious eyes seemed unable to disturb the two who were immersed in the dance.
As long as Katrina didn't refuse, Albert invited her to continue dancing and let her dance to her heart's content.
I don't know how long after jumping, Albert noticed that Katrina's breathing began to become short, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and he knew that Katrina's physical strength was approaching its limit , leading her to move to the edge of the dance floor while dancing.
"You need to rest for a while." Albert found an empty seat and asked Katrina to sit down and rest. Dancing is an extremely physical activity. It's normal.
"I'll get you something to drink."
"No need, we've already brought it for you." Lee Jordan walked towards Luna with Luna, and handed two glasses of butterbeer to them. He said enviously: " You dance so well, I bet there are tons of girls coming over and asking you to dance."
"You didn't go to dance?" Albert took the butter beer, stared at Lee Jordan for a while and asked.
"I danced, but the dance was very mediocre, so I gave up." Li Qiaodan shrugged and asked, "When will you take Luna to dance for a while."
"Let me rest for a while." Albert took a sip of butter beer and said to Luna, "You don't mind waiting for me for a while!"
"Don't mind, you dance very well." Luna said happily.
"Oh, yes, this is for you." Albert handed the handkerchief to Katrina.
"Thank you." Katrina took the handkerchief from Albert and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Where are Fred and George?" Albert glanced at the desserts on the table, picked up a piece of chocolate cake and tasted it slowly, and passed a piece to Katrina, "Eat something to restore your strength, The dance probably won't end until twelve o'clock."
"Where are they?" Lee Jordan complained, pointing to Fred and Angelina who were dancing enthusiastically not far away~IndoMTL.com~Fred always said he couldn't dance, but in the end He danced a lot better than most, and George was dancing with Shannah, who didn't seem to be looking for a partner. "
"You danced better than I expected." Yanila walked towards this side, and beside her was a beautiful silver-haired little girl.
"Long time no see, big brother." Gabriel waved to Alberto.
"Long time no see, Jiabuli." Albert handed the other party a cake.
"Thank you, I just ate."
"It should be my turn next!" Yanila asked, ignoring Katrina's gaze.
"Someone has already made it first, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer!" Albert took out a candy from his pocket after destroying the cake, threw it into his mouth and quickly regained his vitality.
"You are really hardworking!"
George walked towards Albert with Aliya and Shanna, and happened to see this scene, and couldn't help laughing and teasing. 12568/9750873
