HP meets at Hogwarts

Hogwarts students and teachers have shown a constant desire to impress Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's guests, and they seem determined to show the castle at its best this Christmas.The school was decorated with lights, the marble staircase was covered with icicles that never melted, and the twelve Christmas trees that were customary in the auditorium were decorated with all kinds of baubles, from From shiny holly berries to live golden hawks that can't stop singing.

Those armors in the corridors and halls were so enchanted that they would sing Christmas carols whenever anyone passed by.It's hilarious to hear an empty helmet sing "Oh, come, you godly people,"

From time to time, Ann could see Professor Sprout carefully trimming the bushes and grass outside the oak gate of the foyer of the auditorium.

"Here is a letter from you, Ann, but no address, only your address." Fanny handed Ann a letter.

An glanced at it with confused eyes, it looked like an ordinary letter.

"Is it from Mo Mo?" An asked.

"No, it's an owl I've never seen before," replied Fanny.

"Well, maybe it's Fred's and George's order form. Take it apart and have a look. If it is, put it on the table, don't worry about it." Ann pulled the quilt over her head.

"Yes." Fanny began to open the letter.

After Ann had drifted off to sleep, she was shaken awake again by Fanny.Opening her eyes, Fanny looked surprised.

"Ann! It's the Weird Sisters!"

"?"

"It's the Weird Sisters who wrote to you, saying they've never seen a piece like this before, please make sure they can play it at the dance, and they also said they understand that the creator wants to keep a low profile in school, they will Not revealing the creator while playing..."

"What the hell?" Ann woke up suddenly. Ann took the letter and read it from the beginning.

"Ann, I think you can't refuse this time. They didn't even write down the mailing address... This is not bad, music has no boundaries. They said they have never heard this style of music, which makes me have a lot of respect for your songs, An Interested!"

"I said it's not my song..." Ann lay back down again, is the music of one world accepted in another world?

On the morning of Christmas, Ann slept soundly and opened the bed curtain in a good mood, and the floor beside the bed was already full of Christmas presents.

It was noon soon, and Fanny was not in the dormitory.Ann waited for a while, planning to walk to the restaurant by herself.

"Aren't you going to eat?" An asked the other three people in the dormitory before going out.

Millis and Thalia looked at Ann resentfully, as if what she just asked was not for food but for them to concoct a bottle of dangerous potion.

"Oh, of course not!" Pan Xi said loudly.

Ann shrugged and closed the door.Then went to the restaurant with Fanny who was reading in the common room.

The two enjoyed a sumptuous lunch in the dining room, with at least a hundred turkeys on the table and a huge pile of Christmas puddings and mountains of Cribbage wizard crackers.

When the time came to 06:30, Fanny stood in front of the mirror and fiddled with her hair, and asked Ann who was still sitting on the sofa reading a book, "Ann, haven't you started wearing dresses yet?"

"Um... the party starts at eight o'clock, right? Okay... I'm going to take a shower now..."

"Wow, Ann, you are very suitable for white..." After Ann put on the dress, Fanny stood aside and praised.

"Thank you... Your purple dress is also very nice... And I think you should remind the boy from Durmstrang who is your dance partner today, be careful, he will have a difficult life after Hogwarts..."

Fanny winked mischievously at Ann, "I will..."

Picking out foundation, blush, eyebrow pencil, mascara brush, and lipstick skillfully from Fanny's large makeup box, Ann quickly put on a light makeup for herself.

Walking from the common room to the foyer of the auditorium on the first floor, the place is crowded with students, who are circling back and forth, waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock, when the door of the auditorium will open.Some people want to meet their dance partners from other colleges, so they squeeze sideways through the crowd, looking for each other's figure.

Ann and Fanny walked to a part of the hall where there were few people. Along the way, Fanny attracted the attention of many senior boys.

"I think you should remind that boy that he is in an extremely dangerous situation later..." An Yu said earnestly.

"They didn't just look at me, Ann, you also have a part, especially many Hufflepuff students..." Fanny said with a smile.

Ann shrugged noncommittally.

"Why didn't Hermione come?" Ann asked suspiciously. On the stairs, Harry in a black dress and Ron in an old dress robe were going downstairs.

"Perhaps you could ask them?"

"Forget it, I don't know what they look like..." An stared at the stairs leading to the second floor for a while, and then looked at the door.

The oak door creaked open, and everyone turned their heads to see Durmstrang's students and Professor Karkaroff walking in together.Krum walked in the front, and beside him stood a beautiful girl in a light blue dress.

The girl's light blue dress made her skin whiter than snow, the elegant bun on her head revealed her slender neck, and her piercing brown eyes. She smiled, but showed a little nervousness.

"I knew it." Ann grinned, and she recognized who was standing next to Krum at first glance.

"Know what?" Fanny looked at Durmstrang's team, "Huh? Who's next to Krum?"

"Hermione..." Ann said in a tone of tenderness she didn't know she had, and she started walking towards it.

Fanny looked unbelievable, "Is it really her?"

"Of course!"

At this time, Professor McGonagall's voice sounded: "Warriors, please bring your dance partners here!" The warriors began to gather in the direction of Professor McGonagall, and Ann stopped because the chattering crowd was crowded and started to flash Make a passage for them to pass through.

Only then did Ann notice that a piece of lawn in front of the castle outside the oak gate had been turned into a cave, and there were dots of fairy light shining in it—this meant that there were hundreds of living fairies, who might be sitting on the ground created by magic. rose bushes, or flapped their wings over statues that appeared to be Santa Claus and his reindeer.

"Warriors, please stand by the door and wait for the rest to go in first," said Professor McGonagall in a red plaid robe with an ugly thistle garland adorning the brim of his hat.

With the voice of Professor McGonagall, the door of the auditorium opened.

The crowd lined up towards the auditorium, and many members of the Krum Starchaser Club in the library strode past, casting extremely hateful glances at Hermione.

When Ann passed by, she didn't even look at Krum, she just smiled and said to Hermione quickly and softly, "You're beautiful, don't be nervous."

Hermione blinked at Ann and grinned.

The walls of the Great Hall were covered with glittering silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and there were hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy.The four college tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small tables lit with lanterns, and at the very front of the auditorium was a large table, which seemed to be the guest-of-honor table.

Ann walked into the auditorium and saw Aaron in a handsome dress standing next to the guest seat and beckoning to him.After walking in, Ann saw that Professor Dumbledore, Karkanov, Maxim, Ludo Bagman and Percy were still sitting in the guest table.

Why is Percy here?Ann flashed a surprised look when she saw Percy.

"Xiao An, you are very beautiful today..." Aaron said in a tone of a grown-up girl in my family.

"Uncle Aaron, you are also handsome today..." An winked at Aaron, then politely smiled at the other adults and signaled to take their seats.

After everyone in the auditorium was seated, the lights in the auditorium changed once, and candles floated from around the auditorium to the entrance of the auditorium, and there were two rows of regular rows leading directly to the guest seat, like a candlelight passage.

Then Professor McGonagall led the warriors and their dance partners into the auditorium, and there was warm applause in the auditorium.

Fleur Delacour and Roger Davies followed closely behind Professor McGonagall, followed by Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, followed by Viktor Krum and Hermione Granger, and finally Ha Liporter and Parvati Patil.

When the warriors came to the guest table, Dumbledore smiled happily and waved for everyone to sit down.Of course, the warriors each chose to sit next to their principals, and Karkaroff just left two seats vacant.

Hermione adjusted her dress, sat next to Ann, looked at Ann with a smile, and Ann suddenly became nervous.

Ann greeted with a dry voice, "Hi! Hermione."

"Hi, Ann!" Hermione smiled back, but Ann felt that the other party seemed to be more nervous than herself.

With a soft pop, a menu appeared out of thin air in front of everyone's desktop in the auditorium, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

An quietly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the menu and began to read.

"Xiao An, this?" Aaron asked in a low voice, obviously he still didn't understand.

Professor Dumbledore, who was facing Aaron, said very clearly to his plate, "Grilled pork chops!" Then the pork chops appeared out of thin air on the empty plate in front of him.

Aaron looked suddenly enlightened, "It's so interesting..."

"Wait, Uncle Aaron..." Ann smiled and stopped Aaron who was impatient to order, "Here are a few main dishes, I advise you not to order, because the taste may not suit your taste, on the contrary, I recommend these Dao, juicy and tender beef, grilled pork chop with porcini mushrooms, South Africa-style roast beef..."

“You can try this grilled pork chop with porcini, which is marinated with garlic and salt an hour in advance, then needs to be glued with a layer of flour, then coated with egg wash, fried and poured with the prepared porcini sauce , the taste is very good, according to your taste, it is best to have a small glass of gin, and then add a Christmas pudding for dessert..."

Aaron's eyes lit up, he nodded, and then a beautifully plated, steaming delicacy exuding porcini sauce and pan-fried flavors appeared on the table, and it appeared alone on Professor Dumbledore's plate. The grilled pork chops were a stark contrast.

"Aha, really good~" Dumbledore said kindly, "It looks delicious!"

Ann smiled sheepishly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Hermione's plate was still empty, and Hermione was looking at herself with the menu.

Okay, anyway, the attributes of foodies have already been revealed.

Ann looked at Hermione, and introduced in a gentle tone, "The juicy fried tender beef and the South Africa style beef are really good, but I think you might like this one more, the sesame teriyaki salmon steak, the fish is very tender, and there are no fish bones, because It is poured with sauce, simmered until it is half-cooked and then baked. It is not greasy or fried. It can be paired with a cup of sour lemon tea..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Hermione's eyes. She seemed to just casually mention to Ann that she likes to eat fish.

After Hermione thanked Ann, Ann ordered a sautéed steak with cheese and a glass of orange juice for herself, and then chatted with Aaron while cutting the meat with a knife and fork, mainly about Dinah.

Percy, sitting next to Aaron, listened the whole time.

Hermione and Krum also started chatting, but Krum couldn't pronounce Hermione's name correctly from beginning to end.

When everything was done, Dumbledore stood up and told his classmates to stand up too.Then he waved his wand and flew some of the tables to the wall, leaving an open space in the middle.He turned into a high stage again, attached to the right wall, on which stood a drum set, several guitars, a lute (poem), a cello and several organs.

From the side door, the eccentric sisters in ripped black robes flooded onto the stage together, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.The lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed and became soft.The Weird Sisters played a slow, sad tune.

The warriors led their dance partners to the center of the specially vacated auditorium and began to lead the dance.

In the middle of the song, Professor Dumbledore led Professor McGonagall's hand into the dance floor, and then more and more people started dancing.

Aaron politely saluted Ann with a little nervousness, and Ann put his hand on it with a smile.

When the piece ended, half the auditorium turned into a dance floor, and almost all the students joined in the dance.

Another piece of music that was slightly faster than before sounded, and while playing this piece, Ann glanced at other people from time to time. Hermione and Krum were five steps away. Obviously, both of them danced well, but Ann felt that Ke Lumu's face was a bit annoying, so he turned to search for Fanny. Ann glanced at the crowd, and saw Fanny in a purple evening dress. No doubt she was a person who had attended many balls, and her dance steps were very elegant.

As the song came to an end, Aaron said in a low voice, "Xiao An, I really didn't expect this moment..." Aaron's expression was particularly gratified and happy.

"This moment is good, Uncle Aaron, I am very happy to dance with you today..." Ann said sincerely.

Aaron smiled, "It's very good, but I can't take you too long. I think you must have rejected a vote of boys at the Christmas ball. I saw several boys staring at you just now... so tonight Of course, I want to leave you a little personal space..."

At the end of the song, Aaron led Ann out of the dance hall. Sure enough, several boys were trying to get out of the dance hall. Aaron smiled at Ann and walked towards Professor Moody standing outside the dance hall.

The crowd suddenly overwhelmed Aaron, and Anke was not interested in dancing with those boys. She glanced at the buffet tables in the auditorium and planned to go there.

"Ann!" Hermione walked towards Ann, her face flushed pink.

"Where's Krum?" Ann glanced behind Hermione.

"I sent him to get a drink..." said Hermione.

"Oh, then he has a choice. I just glanced at it. Professor Dumbledore almost bought most of the drinks with low alcohol content from the Three Broomsticks..." Ann said jokingly.

"Actually..." Hermione's face started to turn red.

"Huh?" Ann turned her head to look at Hermione, and then she saw a familiar boy's face struggling towards her from the dance floor, and smiled shyly when she saw herself.

"Oops!" Ann said, taking Hermione's hand, and pulling Hermione away.Since they were standing a little away from the dance floor, almost at the side of the auditorium, An's first reaction was to pull Hermione into the side hall not far away.

Hiding behind the concealed door, An Chang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the boy searched around but gave up and walked away.

"Who is this boy?" Hermione asked.

"It's the one who invited me at the entrance of the restaurant!" An said with a little indignation.

Hermione chuckled, "The Ravenclaw boy?"

"That's right..." Ann said, closing the door, and was surprised to find Hermione standing right behind her.

"Uh..." Turning around, An Zheng met Hermione's eyes, "That..." An turned her head away in embarrassment, her eyes flicked on the wooden door.

At this moment, the organ of the Weird Sisters outside the door played the last trembling note, and the auditorium burst into warm applause again.

The sound of the music seemed to give An a hint of inspiration, and she looked at Hermione again, with a gleam in her eyes, "Sorry, I brought you in, why don't you dance with me?" Inappropriate, An quickly changed her words, she bent down and gave a gentleman's salute, "Beautiful lady, I wonder if you would like to accept my invitation and give me the honor to dance with me?"

After finishing speaking, An straightened up, showing her neat eight small white teeth, and said mischievously, "I can do male steps too, I won't step on you..."

Hermione blushed, smiled cheerfully, put her hand on Ann's, looked her in the eyes and said, "I do."

Gently wrapped Hermione's waist with one hand, and pulled into the distance. Ann realized that he was about 2 centimeters taller than Hermione, but the height difference was not that big. You can almost see the image of the face in the pupils of the other party.

The calm and soft tune is accompanied by the deep voices of the weird sisters. The dance steps of the two are well coordinated. When the song is over, the two seem to realize it suddenly.

Let go of Ann's hand, Hermione blushed slightly, "You dance very well..."

"Hey! Of course, although I don't like sports, I still have relatively well-developed sports cells..." Ann said without any modesty, which made Hermione giggle again.

A guitar sweep sounded, and the Weird Sisters stopped playing.

Ann and Hermione looked at each other, obviously curious about what was going on outside.

But the lead singer of the Weird Sisters began to speak, "The following song is a song by a Hogwarts student who did not want to be named. It is a very novel style, dedicated to you at Hogwarts! The name is LOVESTORY .”

"Anonymous?" Hermione looked at Ann curiously.

Ann turned her head away, laughed dryly twice, and did not respond.

The sound of music and lyrics sounded...

"We were both young when If firsts aw you

When I first saw you we were young

I close my eyes and the flash back starts

I close my eyes, scenes of the past reappear in my mind

I'm standingthereonabalconyinsummerair

I stand on the balcony, in the air, thick, is the smell of summer

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See the lights, see the lively dance, see the gorgeous costumes

See you make your way through the crowd

I saw you struggling to squeeze through the crowd

And say hello, littledidIknow

That you were Romeo

Say hello to me, oh, at least let me know your name is Romeo"

When the word Romeo came out, there was a violent commotion in the auditorium, and many people began to discuss and applaud.

"Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet story?" Hermione said pleasantly. "My God, I never thought I'd hear this at Hogwarts?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either..." Ann said with a smile.

Hermione sat next to Ann, and didn't speak anymore, but closed her eyes and listened to the song quietly.

An stared at a glass lamp in the room first, then unconsciously turned her head to look at Hermione, and stopped.

It seems that Hermione has rarely been observed so closely. For a long time, the two have been in two colleges. Although they have a lot of classes together, the hostility between Slytherin and Gryffindor is much more serious than other colleges. Yes, in class, they usually sit in a clearly defined manner.

The eyelashes are beautiful, the nose is also good, Hermione's facial features are indeed good, and the skin is also very good, but she is usually obsessed with studying, unkempt, and her hair is a bit disheveled, but when she grows up, her hair will be more docile, and her ears are also very small. See It seems to be quite soft, how does it feel when pinched?With her hair tied up, revealing her rare neck, An swallowed her saliva, looking delicious...

Bah, bah, bah... What are you thinking, I must be hungry... Yes, I only ate half of it at the table just now to maintain my ladylike image, and I will go get something to eat later.

After listening to the tune, Hermione opened her eyes and saw An Zheng staring at her blankly, her face flushed suddenly.

Ann didn't expect the song to end so quickly, but she kept a calm face and said, "Is it a bit hot in here? How about we go out? And I want to get something to eat?"

Hermione nodded quickly.The two stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Fortunately, the song was so high that almost everyone on the dance floor was blushing, and no one noticed Ann and Hermione.

Walking to the long table where the food was placed, Ann took an empty plate and put a lot of food on it, while Hermione made a glass of iced Earl Gray milk tea.

After swallowing a piece of fried chicken, Ann felt much better, and it was food that comforted her most.Think at ease.

"That song just now was very nice..." Hermione said after taking a sip of her iced milk tea.

Ann puffed her cheeks and nodded.

"It's just that even the ending of the lyrics is a tragedy..." Hermione said regretfully.

"But that's just a song..." Ann blinked.

"Ann, the decoration outside the foyer is very beautiful tonight, you haven't seen it yet, shall we go for a walk?" Hermione said holding a cup.

"Okay, I just glanced at it before..." An put down the tray in his hand, "But wait a minute, I think I need a glass of iced lemonade."

The author has something to say:

It's a super long chapter... I just finished it last night because I didn't finish it.

The next update should be at eight o'clock tomorrow night.Because the author is going out to play this afternoon, there is no time to code words, only tomorrow will have time to code words.

PS: Now the author is a little doubtful whether he can finish the fourth part before the 18th...
