Chapter 301： Christmas Ball (Part 2)

Krum and McGonagall who were walking in front obviously didn't notice the malicious look behind them, and led Mike and others into the auditorium.

Today’s auditorium is more like a banquet venue than before. The tables used for meals are no longer the usual four long college tables, but a hundred small tables with lanterns. The students in various dresses are sitting Sitting in twos and threes at the small table chatting and laughing.

But when Mike and his party showed up in the auditorium, everyone stopped what they were doing, and cast curious eyes here.

Everyone wants to see the style of the warriors and their dancing partners.

Hermione's new image has obviously surprised many people. Malfoy's gang is already looking stupid at the moment. They never thought that the ugly duckling would become a white swan today!

But when the line of sight fell on Harry, his eyes finally returned to the ridicule of the past.

Harry didn't let him down, as he always looked like a critic.

Harry clearly noticed the look in Malfoy's eyes, and the intense tension made him stiff like a robot, letting the excited Parvati drag him forward.

There are many people who are surprised by Hermione's new image today. The group of Krum fans cast her eyes so full of jealousy that they almost turned into substance almost the moment they appeared.

In addition, Ron's performance is even more exaggerated.

When Hermione passed by the round table he was at, he just pretended as if he didn't know Hermione.

But Mike walking behind realized that after Hermione ignored him, the expression on Ron's face instantly became incredibly hideous like a face change in a Sichuan Opera.

Mike chuckled and walked forward confidently holding Penello.

The combination of the two of them is the well-deserved number one tonight, whether it is Mike's classic suit or Penello's evening dress that shines like a starry sky, countless people are watching.

But everyone did not be too surprised, because you already know how outstanding Mike and Penello are, the ugly duckling suddenly turned into a white swan. Even more shocking.

Professor McGonagall led everyone straight through the auditorium to the VIP seat in the innermost hall.

Unlike the past, the faculty seat that had been used as a VIP seat was gone, replaced by a huge round table with the referees of the Triwizard Tournament and the Hogwarts Four. Deans of the graduate school.

To Mike's surprise, Percy, who had already graduated, also appeared on this round table.

Percy, sitting in the seat next to Old Crouch, was so nervous that he didn't even have the courage to look up at Mike.

But the old Crouch next to him looked like he was dying, and he became weaker from the last time I saw him, and the dense dark circles have almost been pulled to his cheeks.

Mike and Penello sat down next to Professor Flitwick, which made Professor Flitwick very happy. He rubbed his hands and said to Penello:

"Boy, what do you want to eat? How about steak?"

Regardless of Penello's objection, he said directly to the empty plate on the table:

"Steak! Ten mature!"

The house elf who was hiding in the dark and hearing the order immediately moved. Everyone felt that there was a glimmer of light on the dinner plate, and a steaming steak appeared.

"Come on, eat it, kid. Don't blame me for ordering you ten mature steaks. God knows if there will be parasites in those undercooked steaks. This is not good for your health." Professor Flivy said, " Especially if you are planning to have a baby in the near future, you will not be able to eat it. That is not good for your children!"

These words made Penello blush, she lowered her head and replied with an inaudible voice, and then she lowered her head to eat.

And Mike hurriedly arranged tablecloths for her to prevent food juice from splashing on the clothes.

Professor Flitwick looked at the pair of golden boys and girls with the kind eyes of an old father, his eyes filled with relief.

He thinks that God treats him well, and he can meet Mike and Penello when he is old.

Of course, if these two people cheer up, it would be better for him to hug the baby sooner!

Professor McGonagall across the round table rarely looked at Flivy and Mike and others with envy. She is as single as Flivy and has no children, so she is very envious that Flivy can meet like Mike and Pei. Students like Nello.

And Hermione and Krum, who were beside Professor McGonagall, didn't notice Mike's scene at all. Krum was attentively introducing her normal life to Hermione.

“We also have a castle, but it’s not as big as it is here, and it’s not as comfortable as it is here. The castle has only four floors, and it can only be fired when it’s magic.” Krum said, “but our venue is very big. There are huge mountains and lakes. In the summer, we fly around every day, which is pretty pleasant, but it’s not good in winter. In winter we have very short days..."

"Enough! Victor!" Karkaroff looked at Hermione contemptuously and interrupted Krum and said, "Don't reveal more secrets, or your charming friend will know that we are here. Where is it!"

Karkaroff specially emphasized the charming tone, and everyone could still tell that he didn't want to see Hermione.

But this is not surprising. He is a pureblood in his own right. He was a Death Eater in his early years, and despised Muggles as their basic operation.

But his reminder is obviously too late. Krum has revealed enough things. There are not many places in Europe with the same geographic and climatic conditions. If necessary, Mike is confident that he can easily find Durmstrang’s. position.

"Igor (Kakaroff), you keep secrets like this and people will think you don't welcome others to visit."

Dumbledore said with a smile, while Karkaroff on the side laughed and said:

"As the principal, we naturally have to carefully guard the school hall we are entrusted with. Of course, we also need to keep the secrets that only we know!"

"Oh! I can't even dream of claiming that I know all the secrets of Hogwarts." Dumbledore said kindly. "For example, it was caused today. I made a bend when I went to the bathroom, but when I got back to my senses, I found myself in a very exquisitely furnished room that I had never used before. And there were a lot of exquisite and luxurious potties in the room. But when I went back to investigate carefully, I found that the room was nowhere to be found. You said God is not magical?"

Mike on the side frowned. He dared to swear that Dumbledore just turned his head and blinked at himself when he said the last sentence.

This is clearly implying that he already knows the relationship between himself and the responsive room.

But it doesn't matter. Mike has already put everything about the Freemasonry in the secret realm. Now the responsive room is just the gathering place for the members of the mutual aid society.

"Well, it's almost time, maybe we can start dancing!"

Professor Flitwick on the side obviously spotted Dumbledore's last look, and quickly came out to help Mike out.

Maybe it was because he felt that the eye drops he had given Mike were almost ready, Dumbledore nodded and stood up, telling the students to stand up too.

Then he waved his magic wand and all the tables swish to the wall, leaving a large open space in the middle.

He transformed into a high stage, attached to the root of the right wall with a whole set of musical instruments on it.

At this time, the weird sisters, who had thick hair and deliberately wore torn black robes, also came on stage and picked up those musical instruments.

Their presence on the stage caused cheers from the audience, and then all the lanterns on the other tables went out, only the stage was still brightly lit.

Mike smiled and stretched out his hand, and said to Penello: "Beautiful lady, are you interested in dancing with me?"

Penello smiled happily, and reached out and put his jade hand into Mike's hand.

The two walked onto the stage holding hands, Mike put one hand on Penello's waist, and the other was held together with Penello's.

To the music played by the weird sisters, Mike and Penello also danced.

As if deliberately to allow students who are not good at dancing to adapt, the tunes played by the weird sisters are quite soothing.

Mike is naturally familiar with dance. In his previous life, he did not participate in this kind of dance party less. At the beginning, he specially invited a dance teacher to class, so as not to make a fool of himself in this kind of occasion.

Penello should have also made up for the dance posture, but this kind of learning without experience in actual combat is obviously still not enough, so her movements are still a little stiff.

After a dance, Penello was able to enter the state.

At this time, the dance music played by the weird sisters was also replaced by a fast-paced vigorous dance. Mike, who had warmed up, smiled at Penello, and then accelerated his movements.

The sudden increase in movement caused Penello to scream as he performed various movements under Mike's guidance like a marionette.

Fortunately, Mike's dancing skills are really good. Under his guidance, Penello quickly became excited, and the two continued to dance to the dance music.

The dance music on stage changed one after another. Mike and Penello had already entered a state of selflessness at this moment, completely ignoring the surrounding environment, and both sides only saw each other.

It wasn't until Penello's face turned red and panting that he burped full before Mike stopped and asked:

"Honey, do you feel okay?"

"I feel great!" Penello said shyly, putting his head in Mike's arms, "but I may have to rest for a while."

Mike knew it.

He just watched Penello kill a whole steak by himself, and then he carried out such intense exercises, and it was not surprising that his stomach began to feel uncomfortable.

He hurriedly helped Penello to sit down at the table and helped her get a cup of hot water by the way.

"How is Penello?"

Hermione's worried voice came, and Mike turned his head and saw that Hermione was resting by herself.

"It's okay, just a little tired."

Penello said hurriedly.

She was afraid that Mike would tell Hermione that she had eaten too much that made her uncomfortable, which is really shameful.

Upon seeing this, Mike also changed the subject and said:

"Why are you here alone? Krum and Harry?"

"Krum helped me get a drink, and as for Harry, I don't want to see them anymore!"

Mike and Penello looked at each other, both eyes were surprised in each other's eyes.

"In fact, it's mainly Ron. He is so annoying. He actually said that being Krum's dance partner is a kind of personal enemy!" Hermione said angrily. "This is simply unreasonable. Shouldn’t it be to deepen the exchanges of wizards between countries?"

"Actually, you don't need to take it to heart, maybe they are just because of jealousy." Penello comforted, "Look, how pitiful they are, even their dancing partners ran away with them."

Mike and Hermione looked in the direction Penello was pointing, and they saw that the Indian sister Hua was dancing with the two Boothbat boys, and their original dancing partners, Harry and Ron, were sitting downcast. In a small corner.

Upon seeing this, the corners of Hermione's mouth curled up unconsciously, but then returned to the way it was before and said:

"That's their fault!"

Mike looked at him and laughed, and sighed secretly. Most human happiness is built on the pain of others, even Hermione is no exception.

"That's it, you have a good rest here, Penello and I will dance again for a while." Seeing Penello resting almost, Mike said, "By the way, Hermione If I see Do I need to tell him you are here when I get to Krum?"

"No... no more."

Hermione was obviously disappointed when he heard that, but Mike didn't care. After he answered, he took Penello and walked straight to the stage, leaving Hermione standing alone, looking at his back with a faint look .

"That's not good, isn't it?" On the dance floor, Penello was attached to Mike's ear and said worriedly, "Don't you ask someone to dance?"

"No, I only belong to you tonight, Your Royal Highness."

"Hehehe, you weren't like this before."

"I admit that when I was dealing with some things, I had some thoughts that I shouldn't have, but now I have corrected them." Mike felt the heat of Penello spraying on his ears and licked his lips. By the way, do you feel that it is getting hotter and hotter here."

"Um~, yes."

The soft voice made Mike's heartbeat faster and faster. He gasped hard and asked tentatively:

"Or, we will do the bedroom."

After all, Mike also scratched Penello's palm.

Penello's red face became even more red, and she did not answer, just like Mike, she gently scratched Mike's palm.

The tickling sensation in the palm of his hand spread unimpeded all the way to the bottom of my heart. Mike couldn't help it anymore, pulling Penello and leaving the auditorium.

Mike knew that a lot of things would happen at today's ball, and many mice would show their feet, but Mike really didn't care about anything now, he only wanted xxxx now.

In the corner of the auditorium, Professor Flitwick, who had witnessed all of this, had a gratifying smile on his face.

Rubbing his hands vigorously, he felt that he was holding his grandson, oh no, his wish to hold his disciple might soon come true!
