For a while after the first match, everyone's enthusiasm finally subsided a lot. Except for the wizards of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons who appeared in a corner of Hogwarts from time to time and wore different school uniforms, everything was as usual. The difference is like every ordinary Monday to Friday, then ordinary weekends and boring homework, and finally the Christmas holiday.

But this holiday is not ordinary, only a small group of students need to take the train home on the day of the holiday.

In the week before Christmas, everyone finally learned the great news.

Christmas ball.

The Yule Ball is part of the Tri-Final Tournament, and its purpose is to promote communication among young wizards from different countries. The ball is always a part of adult socializing, and the same is true for the Yule Ball, which is only allowed for students above the fourth grade (in wizarding In the world, only the 14-year-old can barely be called a 'little wizard'), of course, the lower grade students can be invited by the higher grade students.

The ball will be held at [-] o'clock on Christmas night and will end at midnight. The venue is of course the Hogwarts auditorium. Before that, everyone has a week to prepare for the ball, for example, to invite a favorite wizard Or a witch as a companion, a gown that will make you look good at a ball or something.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Hogwarts was boiling, and the senior students began to order dresses for the prom for themselves, and the junior students also looked forward to being lucky enough to receive a senior Invite them so they can join in instead of hanging out on the train while everyone else is twirling happily on the dance floor.

"Have you all found a partner for the dance?" asked Apresh, who was sitting with a group of Durmstrang wizards at a table covered with a solid-colored tablecloth, with two piled side by side in a nest. soft cloth with a golden egg on each.

"Ah?" Everyone was staring at the golden egg, trying to find clues for the second match, and Apresh was caught off guard by asking this question.

"I want to invite Audrey, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet." Krum reacted first, reversed his taciturnity just now, raised his head and said, he took off the golden egg and hugged it in his arms, as if this would be enough Get a hint, or hatch a baby dragon to do the same.

"Then you should hurry up, she is a very popular girl, and there are many suitors!" Apresh shrugged and said bluntly: "I still want to go with you, now it seems that I have no chance .”

"Apresh, why don't you come with Lu Cuo?" A boy with brown hair asked her, his light eyes were very clear, "I heard that the warrior must invite a dance partner." The warrior's opening dance is also the top three game tradition.

Apresh didn't answer this question, but looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Vico, do you want to do the opening dance?"

The boy immediately shook his head and refused. He didn't know where he was thinking, a blush appeared on his fair and delicate cheeks, and he said shyly, "I... I have a partner too."

Seeing his shy look, the others immediately guessed the answer. After all, they have been classmates for many years. They said in disbelief, "It's your brother again?"

Vico nodded, and said softly: "Didn't Principal Karkaroff say that you can invite your family to watch the second game after Christmas? Anyway, we can't go home this holiday, so I sent a copy to my brother." Send a letter asking him to come over..." By the way, he also got rid of the dance partner.

"God, before Hai Yin graduated, you were shy and stayed with him every year. He Yin has graduated for two years, and you still don't know how to solve this problem yourself. When he gets married in the future, what will you do? "Vico's magic is very strong, and his talent in magic spells even exceeds his brother, but he is introverted. He usually looks gentle and gentle, but he is not an acquaintance, and he can't say a word.

"To be honest, when I heard about the dance, I was most worried about two people." Apresh shook his head, looking helpless, "One of them is you, Vico, Heine is not here, I thought you would have to Bite the bullet and choose a dance partner by yourself, but unexpectedly, you brought the 'foreign aid' to the UK."

Vico smiled slightly, like a shy little squirrel, but just because he can sit here now, it proves his ability, at least in the forefront of Durmstrang.

He was actually a batsman on the Quidditch team, the stick-wielding kind.

"There's one more," someone urged Apresh, "who is the other one?"

"I don't tell you that you know," Apresh said directly, without saying a word: "Of course it is our chief lord. Doesn't Alan go to our school's annual prom by himself? There are countless people every year. Wanted to walk into the ballroom with him, but no one ever made it, even Krum knew to ask a female partner."

"But this year is different," said a wizard who just came back from outside. "Isn't the chief having a boyfriend? He should be with Malfoy at the ball. I just saw him and Malfoy by the Black Lake. Discuss something, and then head towards the castle."

"It seems that our chief is going to stay out at night again." A beautiful dark-skinned girl blinked, showing an ambiguous expression that everyone knew.

"But I heard that Malfoy's fiancée will also come to the game this time." Another witch said, "My sister married and went to France. I heard from her that the Malfoy family went to France this summer just to appoint their heir." Not to mention that it is a rare event in the top three competitions, it is just to cultivate the relationship between the fiancée, that young lady will also come."

"It sounds bad," Lützow said.

"It's terrible! Since he has a fiancée, why does he provoke Alan? He knows that Alan will really fall in love with him!" Apresh patted the table. The small nest that had been piled up was immediately shaken apart, and the golden egg rolled a few times, and was caught by Vico when it was about to fall.

"Almost..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since they opened the two golden eggs on the first night, the gap between the golden eggs has widened, and they can be opened easily, as if some kind of It was as if the spell had failed.

They didn't want to hear that sound comparable to the scream of a banshee all over again.

After the golden egg crisis, in order to prevent it from accidentally cracking again and causing the spell on it to completely fail, Apresh kept holding it like Krum for the rest of the time. She was still very angry and held the golden egg. The egg pose makes her look a little funny.

Krum sat very quietly on the other side, while thinking about the lines that he would invite Audrey to say later, while struggling, should he tell this group of people who were going to fight for the chief, that Malfoy's 'Fiancee' is actually their chief.

On the other side, in the Slytherin lounge, the fireplace that occupies most of the wall is crackling and burning, reflecting the room red, and the tongue of fire jumps out from time to time, illuminating the whole room warmly, even the floating green flag All lit up.

The lounge area is very large. The half away from the fireplace is covered with dark green tablecloths. Some books are neatly placed on it. There are not many students on the seats. The weather is too cold, and everyone prefers to stay in the dormitory.

In front of the fireplace, several comfortable-looking sofas randomly form an irregular circle, with a long coffee table in the middle, on which are several cups of black tea and some messy gadgets. On the sofa, a thick blanket It hangs down to the floor and is piled with the rug, and under the rug is a fluffy and warm pillow.

On the pillow and under the blanket, there was Draco lying there boneless. He was wearing well-matched pajamas, and a few strands of short light blond hair loosely covered his eyes. West and the others chatted, yawned a little from time to time, raised their eyelids to look at Alan sitting on the other side, then lowered them down again, and continued to doze off.

Alan's clothes were no different from those in the daytime, and his hair was neatly pulled back. He was flipping through the book in his hand with a serious face, writing and drawing in the black leather notebook on the other side with a quill pen, in the dark Under the bright light, the yellowed paper became more and more dull, making it impossible to see whether he was writing or drawing a few random lines.

"Draco." Pansy hesitated to speak, his eyes kept turning between Alan and Draco, as if he had a problem and worried that Alan would not be able to speak in the presence, his face was tangled.

"What do you want to ask, Pansy?" Anyone who has been stared at for so long can't feel it, Draco lazily raised his chin, squinted his eyes and yawned lazily. Putting his head on Alan's lap, he kept turning over the book and writing repeatedly. Alan moved the notebook to the other side without any unnecessary movements, and changed his position so that he could lie more comfortably.

Seeing this, Pansy stopped talking.

"Pansy wanted to ask..." Blaise laughed, looking past Draco and staring at Alan, "Who will you invite to the Christmas ball?"

Draco snorted coldly, and when Blaise looked more and more blatantly, he finally stopped nestling like hibernation, but sat up straight to block Blaise's sight.

"Draco, don't be so stingy." Blaise smiled.

Draco curled his lips, grabbed Alan's hand, and deliberately showed two rows of fine white teeth in front of several friends—especially Blaise, and lightly bit each finger, biting There were no tooth marks, not even a red mark left, as if teasing, Alan didn't move, and even his expression didn't change, as if he had been used to it for a long time.

"My partner is Alan, of course," Draco said.

"I heard that your fiancée is coming too," Pansy said anxiously, "She will also come to the game, right?"

"That's right." Draco focused on the buttons on Alan's shirt without looking up.

"Then you should have invited her, not anyone else." Pansy's expression gradually became serious, "You're too nonsense, Draco, and your fiancée won't agree."

Draco paused, and he suddenly remembered that Pansy and the others seemed to not know that the other person he was engaged to was Alan.

They also believed that Alan was Draco's most recent boyfriend.

It stands to reason that Draco should have introduced them to them from the very beginning, but at that time Draco held his breath and was unwilling to admit Alan's status, and later, he forgot.

Looking at the disapproving or worried eyes of his friends, Draco suddenly felt like joking. He raised his eyebrows, snorted softly, and said, "Whether he agrees or not, it's none of my business."

"Him?" Blaise caught the point of his words at once, "Is your marriage partner a boy?"

Draco nodded indifferently, Blaise was right.

Blaise stopped talking, and looked at Alan with salivation, but there was a little more, sympathy and the like.

He now thinks that Alan is actually Draco who came here to anger his fiancé because he was dissatisfied with the marriage contract. Maybe the day of the dance will be a big show.

It just depends on the temperament of Draco's fiancé, is he calmly facing the intimate scenes of Draco and other wizards, or is he making a lot of noise?

Draco looked at his face and smiled happily in his heart, Brace the idiot, if he still wants to rob him, his IQ is not enough first.
