Chapter 288 Ball(1/2)
As we all know, Professor McGonagall is usually responsible for guiding students on campus.
So this time Snape forced himself in and seemed to have a conflict with Professor McGonagall, which was very interesting.
This made all the students in the hall curious.
Except for students like John and Michelle who knew a little bit about the inside story and smiled at each other, most of the other students were discussing in whispers.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall and Snape's suppression was strong enough.
Under the warning from their eyes, the crowd quickly became quiet again.
Then, the two began to guide the students into the auditorium and take their seats.
John, Michelle and other warriors were specially arranged to come to the end.
It wasn't until all the other students were in their seats that Snape waved to John.
John took Michelle out of the queue first.
The warriors and their dance partners lined up two by two and entered the auditorium.
The walls of the auditorium were covered with glittering silver frost, and the ceiling was a starry night sky, with hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy hanging from the ceiling.
The four college tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small tables lit with lanterns, with about ten people sitting at each table.
John and Michelle walked through the tables under everyone's gaze and applause, and finally arrived at the guest of honor seat.
On the seat.
Dumbledore was smiling happily.
Bagman has also arrived and is clapping his hands as enthusiastically as his classmates.
Karkaroff lowered his head and said nothing, looking a little confused.
Madame Maxime took off her usual black satin uniform and wore a flowing gown of pale purple.
Sitting next to her was Hagrid.
He was still wearing the suit that John and Alice had matched for him before, and even wore a pair of sunglasses at night, with a cold and tough look on his face.
I have to say that apart from the beautiful couple John and Michelle, Hagrid was the most eye-catching person at the scene.
"Sit down, kids!"
Dumbledore said with a smile.
After hearing this, John, Michelle and other warriors walked towards Zhuopang.
But McGonagall and Snape moved faster.
Almost immediately they pulled out two chairs and sat down.
It is worth mentioning that there are two adjacent seats vacant between the two people.
This has been hinted very clearly.
John and Michelle looked at each other and then sat on the two chairs.
Of course, John sat near Snape, while Michelle sat near McGonagall.
Now Snape and McGonagall finally showed satisfied expressions on their faces.
After actually sitting down, John found another person beside Bagman who was somewhat familiar to him.
Percy Weiss is here.
"He's here to replace Barty Crouch."
Noticing John's gaze, Snape explained, "It is said that Crouch is ill."
John nodded and secretly wrote down this information.
This is obviously another point worth noting.
It's just that today is a big day with special significance, and he doesn't want to expose this matter in public and make himself unhappy.
The dinner party started soon.
There was no food on the shining golden plate in front of everyone, only a menu.
Michelle was looking at the menu curiously.
Seeing this, John took it over, smiled and read to the long list of densely packed dish names on it:
“Duck confit.”
Duck legs appear instantly.
Michelle couldn't help but cheered.
This is her favorite food.
John's behavior obviously set a good example for everyone.
Amid the laughter of John and Michelle, everyone ordered their favorite food.
The atmosphere in the auditorium was quite lively.
Although everyone is wearing a formal dress, it does not mean that everyone has become an elegant 'upper class person'.
In fact, even in order not to stain their uniforms, the students have restrained themselves.
But the dining atmosphere in the auditorium is still the same as usual.
The enthusiasm was so great that the ghosts couldn't help but join in.
Of course, not everyone is focused on dining.
Fleur just kept losing her temper.
Sometimes he accuses Hogwarts of having a bad environment, and sometimes he accuses the food here of being too simple.
This caused Professor McGonagall to cast unkind glances at him several times.
Percy was trying his best to talk to John.
It's a pity that there is Snape between him and John.
Under Snape's intense gaze, he failed to speak several times.
Moreover, John had no time to pay attention to him at this time.
"John, do you think this looks good?"
Michelle was smiling and playing with the ruby earrings on her earlobes.
John almost glanced at it and then smiled:
"Of course I'm optimistic about it."
"Really?!" Michelle said happily, "This was given to me by Professor McGonagall! It is said that it was given to her by Professor McGonagall's husband!"
John raised his eyes and looked at Professor McGonagall.
Today, Professor McGonagall is also very beautifully dressed, which is in sharp contrast to Snape, who is still wearing a black robe.
"Thank you so much."
John thanked him solemnly.
Seeing this, Professor McGonagall also had a happy smile on her face and nodded towards John.
"Ahem——"
A coughing sound suddenly came from Snape beside John.
John looked back at Snape, who was still pretending to be calm, pointed to the brooch on his chest and said:
"Michelle, Professor Snape gave this to me."
Michelle looked at the brooch carefully and praised loudly:
"it's beautiful!"
Now Snape was finally satisfied.
He adjusted the collar of his robe, with a smile in his eyes.
Seeing this, John couldn't help but chuckle.
In a warm atmosphere, the food was finally finished.
Dumbledore stood up and asked his classmates to stand up as well.
Then he waved his wand and all the tables flew to the wall, leaving an open space in the middle.
He created a high stage again, attached to the right wall, with a drum set, several guitars, a lute, a cello and several organs placed on it.
At this time, the weird sisters rushed onto the stage together, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
They all have very thick hair and wear black robes that are deliberately torn and torn.
When they each picked up their instruments, the lanterns on the other tables were immediately extinguished.
