The second round of team competition is over, and the third adventure competition will not be held until the midterm of the next semester. There is only one ice and snow festival dance that needs to be participated in.
So next, all contestants will have a long period of rest.
While collecting various rare materials, Sherlock pondered sewing and cooking, and soon ushered in the much-anticipated Ice and Snow Festival dance.
The Ice and Snow Festival was originally a major local holiday in Leatherman, held on the Saturday of the second natural week after Midwinter Festival.
Later, the three schools jointly held the Triwizard Tournament. At the suggestion of the previous Supreme Witch, the Ice and Snow Festival Dance became a reserved program of the event.
The main purpose of the dance is to promote exchanges between the three schools. It is not mandatory for ordinary students to participate, but contestants must not only participate, but also perform the opening dance.
"Xiaoxia, how about we trick Xing Henxue out and knock her out, and then I can transform into her and accompany you to the dance." Zoe came up with another whimsical idea for the opening dance with Sherlock.
"Um, aren't you afraid that the Supreme Witch will settle a score with you?" Sherlock said with a smile.
Ever since she was caught causing trouble by the Supreme Witch Fiona, Zoe had one more person to fear besides Professor McGonagall.
“Hmph, I’m not afraid~” Zoe said she wasn’t afraid, but she didn’t dare to mention it again.
Regardless of Zoe, Sherlock still has to think about who to find to accompany him to the dance.
Originally, Zoe was indeed the best candidate.
However, the main purpose of the dance is to promote exchanges between the three schools, so the lead dancer and dance partners must be from different schools.
Sherlock hesitated at first, but by the time he shamelessly went to find Raven and Nina, they had already agreed to someone else's invitation.
And it wasn't just the two of them, almost all the girls in the Witch Union and Xavier were invited away by the boys from Tilllands.
"Why don't you ask me why no one invited me?" Sherlock felt that he was also a high-level player on the combat power rankings, and he was already well-known in Faerûn. He shouldn't be in this dilemma.
"Didn't I come to you as soon as I heard the news?" Zoe said.
"Besides you?"
"Maybe Xiaoxia, you are too good. Only a good girl like me would dare to get close to you."
"It's not impossible." Sherlock touched the stubble on his chin and agreed.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two have a low emotional intelligence, but you should have a bottom line, okay?" Fox, who was walking aside, looked at the narcissistic expressions of the two and finally couldn't help but complain.
"Did we say something wrong?" Sherlock and Zoe synchronized black question mark faces.
"That's right..." Fox took a deep breath and finally controlled his emotions. "Aren't you two going to Wiprintala? Why aren't you leaving?"
"Professor McGonagall said that if I can't find a dance partner today, I will have to do the opening dance alone." Sherlock sighed and said with a sad face.
"Moreover, the professor also told us that the only girl from a different school who has not accepted the invitation so far is Xing Henxue." Zoe was a little gloating at this time.
"That ice beauty..." Fox also laughed and said, "It's really a bit troublesome."
"Yeah, I heard that she has rejected more than a hundred boys, and she refused without mercy." Zoe vividly described the scene at that time.
"However, since that girl Xing Henxue has rejected so many people, unless she wants to do the opening dance alone, she doesn't have much choice left. This may be your chance." Fox analyzed rationally.
.
"That's right!" Sherlock thought there was nothing wrong with this.
"So, go ahead, boy!" Fox encouraged.
"Then I'll give it a try." Sherlock said and walked towards the witches' lounge.
Five minutes later, Sherlock walked out of the room.
Just as Fox expected, Xing Henxue did...
I plan to do the opening dance alone!
"Hahaha--"
"Hehe, hehe~"
Zoe and Fox's laughter resounded throughout the tower, and the news that Sherlock's invitation was rejected by Xing Henxue also spread like wildfire, becoming widely known at once.
However, this is not without its benefits.
Since he is destined to dance alone, Sherlock can break the pot and use the time he originally used to practice dancing to make a dress.
It is not possible to wear cassocks at the ball, not even ordinary casual clothes. It is required to wear formal clothes.
He is almost a level 10 tailor and has unlocked fashion design. His ability to make dresses is naturally much better than those of other tailor shops outside.
So as the prom approached, there was an endless stream of students looking for him to make clothes. He worked three nights until the morning of the prom to complete the last order.
I am a little tired, but I also make a lot of money. None of these spell casters are short of money.
As if to impress the students from Leatherman and Cesc, the school staff had begun decorating the entire castle several days ago.
The railings of the stairs are fixed with eternal snowflakes and icicles;
The ceiling of each corridor is released with the illusion of a snowy night starry sky.
Various dessert fruits hang from the neatly combed mistletoe;
The most important auditorium is surrounded by extremely realistic snow scenery, and the songs of the snow fairies are constantly echoing, allowing many people who have never been to northern Faerûn to feel the charm of ice and snow.
The only drawback is probably that the food is not very tasty.
According to Sherlock's idea, in this world of ice and snow, it would be most appropriate to eat barbecue and hot pot.
Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall is a person who likes to do things strictly according to tradition, so his proposal was not passed.
After finishing the unpalatable dinner, Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands for silence.
Then, he waved his hand, and the tables and chairs all retracted into the ground, and instead, a huge stage slowly rose up in the center.
There is a set of drums, several harps, an aden, a zuken, and some bird flutes.
Several snow elves wearing blue and white Ice and Snow Festival exclusive dresses walked onto the stage amidst the wild applause of the crowd, picked up their instruments and played the traditional song "Edelweiss".
"Edelweiss" is the dance number for the opening dance, which means Sherlock needs to go on stage.
It is indeed quite embarrassing to dance this kind of ballroom dance alone, but when two people do it together, the awkwardness seems to be alleviated a lot.
Especially when the other person behaves very calmly.
Sherlock watched Xing Henxue walk onto the stage alone, seemingly affected by the other person's aura, and his embarrassed heart breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them stood alone and watched the opening dance of the others.
Although they still need to lead the dance in the second dance, the others can also participate, so the two of them will not be so conspicuous.
Sherlock thought he could get through it so smoothly.
But who would have expected that when the last note of "Edelweiss" ended, the music did not stop, but immediately picked up.
the snow snow glows white on the the ounta tonight……
The song of the snow elf sounded, and the snowflakes fell from the sky.
"Who is casting the spell?" Sherlock looked at Dumbledore.
In this place, no one could mobilize so much magic at once without Dumbledore's permission.
Soon, he knew the answer.
As snowflakes covered the stage, Xing Henxue, who had been motionless, slowly strolled to the center of the stage. With the help of Celebi's ice and snow spells, he perfectly presented a snow dance full of snow country style in front of everyone.
Everyone was marveling at Xing Henxue's dancing and grace, but Sherlock was the only one who was in awe.
There was a dark history between the two of them that they promised to be together, but how could you shine so brightly alone?
However, no matter how much he complained, Sherlock could no longer change this scene that was destined to remain in the history of the three schools.
