บท 490: Chapter 489 "The Ball Part 6"

The corners of Sean's eyes twitched as he was being held by Daisy. He didn't know that Stephanie would use this method at first, and after knowing who Hermione's partner was, he didn't expect Stephanie to be looking like this.

Most importantly, how did she convince Hermione?

Hermione held Stephanie's arm, and both of them walked over with their heads held high, like a couple showing off their love. Seeing the two getting closer, Sean inexplicably felt a strange feeling.

However, the two had already walked over, so he wanted to greet them.

"Good evening, you look really nice." Sean said with a smile.

Hermione first waved excitedly to Daisy, and raised her head proudly when facing Sean, "Good evening, you are all good too, especially Daisy. Daisy, you are beautiful."

Daisy's eyes blinked, "But didn't we change our dresses together..."

Hermione's face froze, and she returned to the usual way of scolding Daisy, "I'm just trying to be nice to you at this time."

While the two were bickering, Sean took a look at Stephanie. She didn't deliberately dress up as a man but dressed neatly, like a handsome, mature, gentlemanish sister.

But when she got close to Sean, she found that Stephanie's face was slightly different from usual. Her facial features were almost the same, but the details of her eyebrows and eyes made her look very different from her previous appearance.

Stephanie is small. Although she has a cold expression, she always gives people a sense of fragility. On her birthday, she looked up at Sean in a dress like an elf girl. But today's Stephanie is very mature, with the charm of a mature woman; she still has the oppressive feeling of a strong female leader.

If it hadn't been for Stephanie's voice when she spoke, Sean would have thought that she had been replaced by someone else.

"Good evening, Sean and Daisy." Stephanie's voice was cold.

Sean and Daisy glanced at each other. At this time, everyone in the hall had already been seated, and Professor McGonagall came over and asked the delegates and their partners to line up.

Sean and Daisy went first, followed by Stephanie and Hermione.

The walls of the Great Hall were covered with glittering silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and there were hundreds of mistletoe sprigs and ivy. The four long tables were replaced by dozens of smaller tables lit by lanterns, each with a dozen people sitting at them.

Seeing Sean and Daisy walk in, the crowd burst into warm applause and cheers. Daisy held Sean's arm. Her face was full of excitement and tension. She waved her hands slightly to greet the others, and she saw her brother sitting with Ginny and applauding her warmly. Daisy suddenly felt a sense of wonder.

However, this feeling was quickly interrupted by shouts from the crowd.

When Stephanie and Hermione walked in, Stephanie was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone was puzzled and recognized Stephanie afterward. They were surprised that Stephanie looked like this.

Moreover, good-looking people will always get more voices from everyone. There are already many girls staring at Stephanie. Although Sean is also handsome, but Stephanie is a handsome girl.

Especially when she was holding Hermione on her arm, and she had an elegant smile on her face, which almost caused a ton of critical blows to the girls. Sean and the others came to the seat, and he saw Dumbledore in the first seat, smiling happily. He was wearing a gorgeous brown-red robe today.

Next to him is Grindelwald. He returned to Hogwarts at some point and changed his outfit. The bright-colored robe made him look different and younger than usual.

Today, Ludo is wearing a bright purple robe with big yellow stars printed on it. He clapped his hands enthusiastically. After seeing Sean, the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic. His eyes It was almost a seam, but the seam was quickly pried open by Stephanie.

He even turned his head in a daze, wanting to confirm with the other guests whether the girl in front was Stephanie.

Karkaroff also had the same expression as him. Karkaroff wore a luxurious robe today. His expression became stiffer after seeing Sean, and his stare widened even more after seeing Stephanie. It wasn't until Krum appeared that he stood up and clapped harder.

Madam Maxime had her usual black satin robe and lavender dress, and she occasionally whispered to those around her. Professor Moody was the only one who didn't change into a dress. He was sitting on one side, chatting with Professor Flitwick.

Snape took off his cloak today, and he put on a new dress, which looked calm and slightly neutralized his gloomy characteristics in the past.

It was a Christmas present from Daisy, and it was obvious that Snape liked it very much. Just now when Karkaroff stood up to shake hands with Krum, he accidentally bumped to him and made a little scuffed marks on his new clothing. Karkaroff hastily apologized to Snape later on.

He had a feeling that if he didn't apologize, he might be poisoned at the party.

Snape let go of Karkaroff with a cold snort at the end. It wasn't his sincere apology, but Daisy walked over with Sean on his arm.

"Professor, you look great." She said while waving excitedly at Snape.

Snape's lips seemed to tremble a few times. He pretended to be calm and greeted Daisy, "Well, you look good today."

Snape's originally enthusiastic face turned gloomy after seeing Sean. Today, he was particularly displeased with Sean, especially after Daisy still holding Sean's arm after sitting down.

When all the delegates were seated, Dumbledore stood up with a big smile on his face.

"Welcome all to this Christmas party," he looked particularly pleased, "this year we have guests from Beauxbatons, Durmstrang and Nurmengard, and we have chosen the bravest students for the tournament. Let us once again applaud our guests and delegates from afar."

After warm applause, Dumbledore raised his glass, "Enjoy yourself, everyone!"

Sean looked in front of him, but there was no food, only empty plates and a menu next to it. Everyone looked a little confused because there were no waiters in the hall.

He saw Dumbledore carefully look at his menu and said very clearly to his plate, "Pork chops."

The pork chops came out right away. The others at the table suddenly realized that they had followed suit and ordered their favorite food on the plate. No wonder when he went to deliver the presents to the house-elves today, they were all excitedly banging their heads against the wall while saying proudly that Sean would love the food at the dinner later.

Sean ordered a beef stew with red wine for himself and enjoyed dinner happily. There was no major trouble, which was more than he had imagined, and it put Sean in a good mood.

Cedric and Cho Chang were laughing. The two seemed to have enjoyed their relationship.

George and Fred were cracking jokes with their partners, making the two girls laugh out loud, much to the envy of Harry, Ron, and Neville at the table below, who didn't have that sense of humor.

However, their partners are satisfied with them, especially Ginny, who, from time to time, leans her head to whisper a few words to Harry, and she makes the corners of Ron's eyes twitch when she does that to Harry.

Meanwhile, Fleur is criticizing the decor at Hogwarts to Roger.

"It's nothing," She said contemptuously, "At Beauxbatons, our Great Hall is filled with ice sculptures at Christmas. They don't melt and there would be big statues in the hall that glitters. The food is superb. We also have a choir of nymphs who sings for us while we eat. We don't have these ugly armors around our walls and if any Peeves come into Beauxbatons and they will definitely be thrown out." She tapped the table impatiently.

Roger watched her talk with a look of ecstasy on his face, and several times, he held his fork crookedly and missed the food in his mouth. Sean felt that Roger was just staring at Fleur and didn't hear what she was saying at all.

She has Veela blood, but Fleur looks a bit more underwhelming than Stephanie, especially after Stephanie has attracted most people's attention.

On the other side, Hugo and Patricia became a dance partner just because they don't think it was important enough to find someone else. Hugo didn't even pay attention to her and he just order a lot of food on his place.

Patricia was used to this, she dangled her wine glass gracefully, and from time to time cast provocative glances at a few junior boys. After they lowered their head, she would smile and take a sip of the wine.

Another member of the Golden Dawn, Ian, found a Hogwarts dance partner. Today, he changed into a particularly gorgeous top hat, and from time to time he make his partner entertained with the things he could do.

In the pleasant atmosphere, after everyone finished eating, Dumbledore stood up and asked the students to stand up. All the tables moved away from the walls, leaving an open space in between. He also conjured up a stage, on which stood a drum kit, some guitars, a lute, a cello, and several organs.

At this time, the Weird Sisters came to the stage together, and the audience burst into thunderous applause. They all had particularly thick hair and wore black robes that had been ripped on purpose.

The lights were extinguished, leaving only the stars shining from the ceiling.

Sean bowed slightly to Daisy and stretched out a hand. Under Snape's eager gaze, Daisy put her hand up with a blushing face. They were the first to walk onto the dance floor and dance to the music.

When Sean picked up Daisy and spun around, others joined in. The music from the Weird Sisters became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone danced more and more wildly. Although Sean didn't know why he was dancing, Stephanie and Hermione came to the side.

The two girls danced more and more enthusiastically. Stephanie danced with her arms around Hermione. They were like elves chasing each other under the starlight, with excited faces and happy smiles on their faces. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the dance, and the music became more intense.

Stephanie took Hermione's hand and spun it several times in a row. This time, Hermione didn't step on her foot once, and her skirt flew up, drawing a beautiful arc. When the music fell to the last part, Stephanie bent down and hugged Hermione, giving the dance a perfect end.

Amidst the warm applause, the second music sounded, and everyone else walked onto the dance floor.

Dumbledore waltzed with Madame Maxime. He was a dwarf compared to her, the top of his pointed hat just touching her chin. He danced gracefully for a woman of her size. Moody was doing a very awkward two-step dance with Professor Babbling, who was nervously avoiding his wooden leg.

Grindelwald also walked onto the dance floor, holding Rosier's hand, who looked utterly ecstatic.

When the cello made the last movement, the crowd burst into applause.

The third was starting, and everyone began to dance freely on the dance floor. Maybe because of the drink, Professor McGonagall was blushing, so she let her hair bun loose today and danced with Hagrid.

Under Sean's stunned gaze and Professor Rosier's gaze, Grindelwald laughed and extended his hand to Dumbledore. There was a burst of laughter and cheers from the crowd, and Sean saw the Weasley twins whistling wildly there. Sean felt that Grindelwald would punish the twins later.

Dumbledore also laughed, reached out, and held Grindelwald.
