Chapter 902 Christmas Ball

The walls of the Great Hall are covered with sparkling silver frost, the ceiling is a starry night sky, and there are hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy hanging on it. It is not difficult to see the professors at Hogwarts.

A lot of thought went into this Christmas ball.

The warriors came to the guest seat amidst the applause of Dumbledore and the judges.

No one saw Karkaroff, and Mr. Crouch didn't come either. In his place was Albert's acquaintance Percy Weasley.

Percy smiled and waved to Albert, and pulled out an empty chair next to him. The meaning was already obvious. Albert took Katrina and sat down next to Percy.

"I was promoted and am now Mr. Crouch's personal assistant. I am here to attend the Yule Ball on his behalf." Percy said in a showy tone.

"Congratulations, I suddenly discovered that you have the potential to be a workaholic." Albert smiled and picked up his menu and looked at the recipes on it.

"Working hard is one of the ways to be promoted quickly by your boss." Percy continued, not paying attention to Albert's teasing, "Mr. Crouch is very good at handling various things."

"You really think that?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Your luck is good now, but it won't be so good soon." Albert waited for Dumbledore to give everyone a demonstration and ordered a pork chop, then ordered a French-fried foie gras for himself, and said to the neighbor

Katrina said: "I suggest you don't order steak. There has been a lot of trouble a while ago, and problems may occur with cattle throughout Europe. Now I don't dare to touch any beef-related foods except milk. You can try

It’s a good experience to try foreign food.”

Harry had just taken a bite of Hungarian goulash, and his expression suddenly became very exciting.

Katrina glanced at Albert and ordered French-fried foie gras. She cut a small piece of foie gras with a table knife and put it in her mouth, and found that it tasted really good.

"I think you will be transferred to the Minister of Magic's assistant soon."

Albert ate some French-fried foie gras and found that the chef's level was only average. After all, the house elves couldn't compare with those chefs who studied cooking skills. Moreover, they still cooked in large batches. If the taste was above the standard, it would be good.

Already.

"Assistant to the Minister of Magic?" Percy was a little dazed. He didn't suspect that Albert was lying to him, but he didn't understand what it meant.

"How did I suddenly become the assistant to the Minister of Magic? Will Mr. Crouch become the Minister of Magic? However, the election of the next Minister of Magic still needs..."

"When did Mr. Crouch's physical condition start to get worse?" Albert interrupted Percy's soliloquy.

"He hasn't been feeling well since the World Cup. It's not surprising - it was too hard at work during that time. Besides, Mr. Crouch isn't as young as he used to be." Percy ate absentmindedly, seemingly still

Thinking about becoming the Assistant to the Minister of Magic.

Albert also continued to chat with him, chatting with Katrina about the dishes on the plate, and by the way led the conversation to travel, talking about some of the countries he had visited.

He hopes that after Katrina graduates from school, she can travel around the world. It is not safe to stay in the UK in recent years, unless she is willing to hide.

"Are you planning to travel too?" Katrina understood what Albert meant, but she couldn't figure out why he wanted her to travel.

Does he think he is in the way?

This isn't right either, Albert's words always make her feel baffled.

"Yes, I have planned it." Albert ordered another pan-fried fish steak for himself and continued: "Except for some worse countries, there are still many good places for travel."

Katrina was a little confused. She ate the food on the plate slowly, and sometimes responded in agreement. She ordered the same food as Albert every time, but she had to say that it tasted really good.

"Are you curious about what I want to do in the future?" Katrina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, I just want to give you some kind reminders to prevent you from encountering some bad things." Albert said gently, "I hope you won't be angry because of this."

"So, you suggested that Isobel write a book." Katrina stared at Albert for a moment and suddenly said: "I think she may not be interested in those. She has never even written a diary before."

"Oh, what does Isobel like?" Albert asked, he really didn't know much about Isobel's interests.

"Actually, I don't know, almost no one knows what she is thinking." Katrina glanced at Albert and said casually: "Just like no one knows what you are thinking, to a certain extent.

, you are very similar and match well."

Can they not be matched?

This is already engaged!

"What about you?" Albert asked casually, "What do you like?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I plan to wait until I graduate from school." Katrina was indeed a little confused. She kept chasing Isobel's back.

"Think about it first, it's still a long time before graduation anyway."

"Perhaps, after I graduate, I will also study beauty elixirs. Kathleen and Valeria have invited me. They also seem to be interested in opening a beauty chain store in the UK, saying that this thing is very profitable." Carter

Rina is really interested in beauty potions. She is actually using them now and the results are very good.

Another beauty shop?

Albert felt depressed and had liver pain. He found that most of the beautiful girls he knew were attracted by those two guys to open beauty salons.

"I remember my sister seemed to be very concerned about this," Katrina recalled.

"Not going to work at the Ministry of Magic?"

"I remember you didn't like the Ministry of Magic," Katrina said.

"The Ministry of Magic will be in bad luck soon. It's best to stay away from there." Albert muttered.

Katrina looked at Albert in surprise. She felt like she had guessed the reason why Albert wanted her to leave England and travel elsewhere.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What about you?"

"Definitely not in England."

Albert moved his eyes to the other warriors. Harry was struggling with the plate of Hungarian goulash because he had already remembered what Albert had said. Fleur Delacour was criticizing Hogwart to Roger Davis.

Hermione was teaching Krum to pronounce her name correctly when she met Albert's gaze and smiled at him.

Although English is the international lingua franca, many people don’t actually speak it. Fleur Delacour also spoke it very poorly. She even said a few French sentences from time to time. I really don’t understand how Roger Davis understood it.

of.

Perhaps, he didn't understand it at all, and just responded hurriedly like a fool, "That's right, that's it, that's right."

Of course, Albert doubted whether Fleur could understand. After all, there were only a few students who could understand several languages ​​like Yanila.

Maybe you know your native language and then French because you spent several years at the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France. You must know French to study in France, but what about other languages?

Albert studied English for nearly ten years in his last life, but in the end he didn't give it all back to the teacher. He did not deny that there were self-taught people, but there were very few such people, and wizards were not language geniuses, otherwise the ancient magic script would be

There won’t be just a few who get outstanding results.

After everyone finished the Christmas party dinner, Dumbledore waved his magic wand to clear a clearing, and then conjured a drum set, guitar, lute and other musical instruments.

Before anyone could react, a group of men with extremely thick hair and wearing black robes that were deliberately torn to tatters swarmed onto the stage.

That's right, man.

The so-called "Weird Sisters" are not a pair of sisters, let alone sisters. They are actually a band of eight shabby wizards who look like tramps.

"I really can't appreciate the so-called trend."

Listening to the thunderous applause in his ears, Albert complained softly.

Before Katrina could speak, she heard Fleur Delacour's slightly mocking voice: "Your taste here is really special."

"Maybe, you should ask other audience members." Albert shrugged, took Katrina's hand, and walked into the brightly lit dance floor.

Anyway, the four warriors had average reactions to the "weird sisters" on the stage.

Albert put his hand on Katrina's waist, squeezed her hand with the other hand, and started dancing to the music.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Katrina doesn't understand French. She is being guided by Albert in dancing and is careful not to step on Albert's feet.

"Miss Delacour was complaining about the dress sense of the band on stage." Albert said softly: "Relax and just follow my lead."

"I quite like the songs of the Weird Sisters." Katrina said softly humming the song.

"Isobel once said the same thing." Albert asked curiously: "Did Isobel teach you how to dance?"

"Well, I practiced for a long time during the summer vacation, and I often stepped on her feet." Katrina found that she had never been as relaxed as she is now. She was led by Albert in a circle slowly, without any unfamiliarity at all, and there was no need to worry.

Can't keep up with the beat.

"Do you dance often?"

Katrina gradually relaxed and began to enjoy the dance.

"No, I don't like dancing very much."

Albert danced with Katrina with light steps. The two looked at each other, and Albert saw the smile on Katrina's face. It was sweet and cute, a bit like Isobel, maybe like

As Katrina said, they are actually very similar sisters.

"It's not like you don't like dancing." Katrina was a little obsessed with this feeling, and even hoped that the music would never stop.

"That's because I learn everything very quickly." Albert said shamelessly.

After the four warriors danced for a while, others entered the dance floor one after another, and the warriors were no longer the center of everyone's attention.

Most students' dancing skills are actually very average, or even bad, so dancing is not a pleasant experience. For example, it is never pleasant to be stepped on by your partner, especially when you are just getting used to it.

The slow, melancholy piece that the Weird Sisters played at the beginning was actually a break-in time for the dancers in the audience. After the organ played the last trembling note, the band on the stage stopped playing, and the auditorium once again erupted in enthusiasm.

of applause.

"Continue?" Albert asked. Naturally, he would not treat Katrina as a tool and just throw her away after using it once. Look at the savior Potter over there, after the song ended, he hurriedly

He led his partner out of the dance floor, obviously not planning to continue dancing.

"This song is very nice!" Katrina's eyes sparkled and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Tonight, he belongs to himself, at least for now.

The tempo of the second song was much faster than before. This time, Albert sped up the speed a little bit. Katrina, who was completely relaxed, was in good condition and quickly got used to the rhythm of the song.

All the girls nearby looked at the two of them with envy, but those envious and jealous eyes seemed unable to disturb the two of them who were immersed in the dance.

As long as Katrina didn't refuse, Albert invited her to continue dancing and let her dance to her heart's content.

After dancing for an unknown amount of time, Albert noticed that Katrina's breathing began to become rapid, her cheeks were slightly red, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead. He knew that Katrina's physical strength was almost reaching its limit, and he took him with him.

As she danced, she moved to the edge of the dance floor.

"You need to rest for a while." Albert found an empty seat and asked Katrina to sit down and rest. Dancing is an extremely physically demanding activity. After dancing a few times in a row, it was normal for her to be drained of energy.

"I'll get you something to drink."

"No need, we have already brought it for you." Li Jordan led Luna towards this side and handed two glasses of butter beer to them. He said with envy on his face: "You can dance so well."

It's awesome, I bet there will be tons of girls coming over and asking you to dance."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You didn't go dancing?" Albert took the butterbeer and stared at Li Jordan for a while and asked.

"I danced, but my level was average, so I gave up." Li Qiaodan shrugged and asked, "When will you take Luna to dance for a while?"

"Let me rest for a while." Albert took a sip of butterbeer and said to Luna, "Do you mind waiting for me for a while?"

"You don't mind, you danced very well." Luna said happily.

"Oh, by the way, here's it for you." Albert handed the handkerchief to Katrina.

"Thank you." Katrina took the handkerchief from Albert and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Where are Fred and George?" Albert glanced at the desserts on the table, picked up a piece of chocolate cake and tasted it slowly, and handed a piece to Katrina, "Eat something to regain your strength, you will probably be able to dance.

It won’t end until twelve o’clock.”

"There they are."

Lee Jordan pointed at Fred and Angelina who were dancing enthusiastically not far away and complained, "That guy Fred always said he couldn't dance, but it turned out that he danced much better than most people, and George was following along.

Shanna dances, but she doesn’t seem to have found a partner.”

"You dance even better than I expected." Yanila walked towards this side, followed by a beautiful little silver-haired girl.

"Long time no see, big brother." Gabrielle waved hello to Albert.

"Long time no see, Gabrielle." Albert handed the other party a piece of cake.

"Thank you, I just had it."

"It should be my turn next!" Yanila said, ignoring Katrina's gaze.

"Someone has already made a reservation, I'm afraid you have to wait a while!" After finishing the cake, Albert took out a candy from his pocket and threw it into his mouth to quickly regain his strength.

"You really work hard!"

George led Aaliya and Shanna towards this side, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help laughing and joking.
