There were an unusually large number of girls hanging around here, and Hermione, Elaine, and Ginny hadn't arrived yet, and Luna was waiting there early.
She was wearing a gown trimmed with silver sequins, which was eye-catching and in keeping with her usual style.
Many people were looking at her and secretly laughing.
The girls all stared at him and Luna resentfully as Harry walked towards her.
To be honest, after seeing Luna's appearance, Harry was relieved.
Because apart from her clothes, she looked fine in everything else, without the turnip earrings, the butterbeer cork necklace, and her demon-proof glasses.
"We'll wait for Hermione, Elaine, and Ginny, and they'll be there soon," Ivan said.
In the common room just now, Elaine insisted that the four of them go first, saying that he wanted to give them a surprise.
Surprise, Ivan remembered Hermione's amazing dress at the Christmas ball two years ago again!
That picture is enough to be engraved in my mind and remembered for a lifetime.
It can be said that every girl was well-groomed that night, but Hermione stood out the most.
Many people even asked if she was a student of Beauxbatons or Durmstrang, but they didn't recognize Hermione at all.
Unfortunately, after that, Hermione was no longer willing to dress up like that, and the heart-wrenching scene became a memory.
Ivan closed his eyes, thinking about what Hermione would look like when he appeared in a while.
Soon, there was a burst of discussion around.
He opened his eyes and saw Hermione, Elaine, and Ginny coming down the stairs.
The heart beats faster, faster and faster!
Hermione smiled and ran towards him with her skirt in her hands.
Her hair was smooth and shiny again, and she was dressed in a flowing robe of sky blue fabric, like a descending angel.
If you want to describe this heart-stirring beauty, it is really appropriate to use an angel as a metaphor.
Everything is like a picture in memory, no, it is more beautiful and exciting than in memory.
Compared with two years ago, Hermione has become much more mature, and she has an indescribable temperament.
More precisely, it should be a kind of magic.
She has a magical power that makes people stare at her intently just by looking at her.
"How?" Hermione asked nervously, and came to Ivan's side.
"It's so beautiful, I'm sure you will definitely be the focus of the audience tonight."
"Maybe it's up to you," said Hermione, smiling. "I think both Ginny and Elaine are prettier than me."
"You are the most beautiful in my eyes, that's enough!" Ai Wen said, "Well, you must have given me a love potion."
As he spoke, he bent down and moved closer to Hermione, who pushed him away flushed.
"Wait a minute, there are so many people here," she whispered.
"Oh, then find a place where no one is there later." Ivan said, "What do you think of it under the mistletoe?"
Hermione didn't answer him, leaving an imaginative playful smile, turned and walked towards Elaine.
Ginny and Elaine have also been well-dressed, which is amazing and surprising enough.
Ginny was wearing a red robe, and her long red hair was tied into an elegant bun behind her head.
She was already very beautiful, the kind of beauty that attracts boys, and her pink face is indescribably cute.
She was whispering to Dean, and Harry kept watching her, obviously fascinated.
As for Elaine, her combination with Colin is completely different.
How should I put it, it seems that the elder sister led the younger brother out.
Although she is not big, not tall, and looks very weak, she has such an aura.
She was wearing a black dress robe, biting her lips lightly, her fair face was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
The most eye-catching thing is Elaine's eyes, the wine red eyes exude coquettishness.
This guy seems to come straight out of the picture, which is really amazing.
"Let's go, the party is about to begin!"
"Where is the party?"
"Slughorn's office."
A group of people climbed the marble steps, leaving those glances and mutterings...
Chapter 1389 Christmas Party
"Have you heard?" On the way, Colin told the information he had investigated, "Professor Slughorn invited eccentric sisters, famous Quidditch players, and vampires tonight, not Elaine." Vampires, but the real ones."
"You'd better make it clear, why am I not a real vampire?" Elaine said, showing sharp canine teeth.
"Uh, what I mean is..." Facing Elaine's threat, Colin looked at Ai Wen for help, and realized that this was not a good topic. He hesitated and said, "Real vampires are very dangerous and very dangerous. Scary, well, not like you."
"That means you don't bite people." Ivan said, drawing Elaine's gaze to himself.
"Why don't I bite?" Elaine said "violently".
"Then who have you bitten?" Ivan asked back.
Elaine couldn't answer, she didn't drink anything but dragon's blood, and it was all prepared dragon's blood.
She certainly wouldn't bite a dragon, and the scary legends about vampires had nothing to do with her.
"So, Slughorn plans to invite a real vampire to the party tonight?" Hermione also said with a smile, participating in the topic of teasing Elaine.
"Are you talking about Rufus? Scrimgeour?" Luna interrupted suddenly.
"What?" Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"You mean the Minister for Magic?" Harry asked.
"Yes, he's a vampire, a real vampire, the biting kind," Luna said with certainty. "When Scrimgeour had just succeeded Cornelius Fudge, my father wrote a long article, There are blood slaves he specially bred in the Ministry of Magic, but someone in the Ministry will not allow him to publish. Obviously, they don't want to reveal the truth!"
Seeing Luna's serious look, this topic ended here.
Rufus?The fact that Scrimgeour was a vampire was ridiculous, but everyone was used to Luna taking her father's whims seriously.
Hermione, the only one who couldn't get used to it and still liked to be serious, frowned and didn't express her opinion.
By this time they were approaching Slughorn's office, laughter, music, and loud voices increasing with their steps, whether by nature or by magic, Slughorn My office is much larger than the average teacher's room.
The ceiling and walls were hung with emerald, crimson, and gold hangings, making it look like a large tent.
The room was crowded and stuffy, glowing red from a golden lantern hanging in the center of the ceiling.
There are real elves flickering in the lamp, each elf is a bright point of light.
From a far corner came loud mandolin-sounding singing; a few old warlocks were chattering away with the smoke of their pipes hanging over their heads; , holding heavy silver trays, covering their bodies, looking like little roaming tables.
This place is really... great, Ivan has to admit that Slughorn really knows how to enjoy it.
He has money, knows how to play, and most importantly, has taste, which is not common among wizards.
"Ah, Ivan, Harry, my children, you are finally here." As soon as the group of people entered the door, Slughorn shouted loudly, "Come in, come in, there are so many people who want to Let you see each other!"
He wears a tasseled velvet hat that matches his smoking shirt.
Slughorn led them into the crowd involuntarily. He held Harry's arm tightly, as if to disapparate him. Harry took Luna's hand and dragged her along. Then Ivan, Hermione, Elaine, Colin, Ginny, and Dean followed behind, and the line was very long.
The team moved through the crowd, and Slughorn enthusiastically introduced them.
He invited a lot of wizards from outside the school to this gathering, all of them are well-known figures in a certain field, even though the current situation is so tense, even though there was a vicious attack on Hogsmeade not long ago, Slughorn thought No one can stop a Christmas party, not even Dumbledore.
"Boys, this is Elder Walpole, my former student and the latest big celebrity in the wizarding world!" Slughorn shouted, "He is the author of "Blood Brothers: I Live Among Vampires." The author, you all know this book, the best-selling book at present. Of course, there is also his friend Xueni."
A best-selling author, Ai Wen has come into contact with one before.
Lockhart was much more famous than this Walpole back then. His book about vampires became famous mainly because of the impact of the vampire attack on the Quidditch World Cup two years ago and the return of Voldemort. He developed a strong interest in vampires, which is why this book became a bestseller.
Simply put, Walpole should be thankful to Keresis, Elaine, and the Slytherin vampire clan.
Evidently aware of this, Slughorn enthusiastically drew Elaine to the front and focused on introducing her to Walpole.
Elaine lacked interest, and after a few casual sentences, she went back to the back.
She stood beside Ivan and Hermione, looking intently at the vampire opposite.
The vampire bloody man was tall and thin, with dark rings under his eyes, and looked sickly and tired.
It's hard to see how scary he is, and he doesn't have the aura of Keresis.
However, he is very popular with girls, and a group of girls gathered around him, looking curious and excited.
"A real vampire?" Elaine murmured in a low voice, with a suspicious expression on her face, "It doesn't seem like much..."
On that side, Walpole didn't seem to have much interest in Elaine and others, but he was very enthusiastic about Harry.
He grabbed Harry's hand and shook it eagerly, walking away where no one was around, looking up into Harry's face with myopic eyes.
"Harry Potter, Harry Potter, I'm so glad to meet you!" He said, "I told Professor Slughorn the other day that the Harry Potter we are all waiting to see Where is Biography?"
"Uh, what?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"Sure enough, it's as modest as Horace said, but to be honest..." Walpole's attitude changed, and he suddenly seemed to be talking about business, "I am willing to write this book, and I have the ability to write this book well. People are eager to know more about you, dear boy, eager! If you will do a few interviews with me, four or five hours each, then, a book will be made in a few months, and it will not take you any trouble, I promise. Don't believe it If so, you can ask Xueni. Isn’t it true, Xueni, don’t go!”
Walpole suddenly became stern and his voice rose sharply.
Because Bloody was walking towards Elaine, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna, with a hungry look in his eyes.
"Here, have a pie, and stay here till I get back," Walpole said, taking a few quick steps forward, grabbing a pie from a passing elf on a tray, and stuffing it into Johnny. hand, and then turned back to turn his attention to Harry.
Xue Ni looked at the white and tender girls in front of him, then at the little Walpole, and honestly lowered his head to eat the pie.
Chapter 1390 I want to bite
"Are you sure this guy is a real vampire, how could he eat this thing?!" Elaine asked suspiciously.
"It should be." Ivan said hesitantly. He also felt that this guy was unreliable, but he didn't want to show it in front of Elaine. "Have you forgotten what I just said? Whether you are a real vampire or not is not a matter of What to eat does not depend on momentum, the key lies in..."
"Bite!" Elaine drew out the tone.
"That's right, I think this guy is very powerful. Not only can he bite people, but he can also eat pies, which shows that he has a strong adaptability and is not picky about food." Ai Wen said casually, "Elaine, you must not Will eat these things, won't you?"
Elaine froze for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.
"So, you are still a long way from being a real vampire." Ivan said hopefully.
He hoped that Elaine could eat something else, not just drink dragon's blood, and not be so picky.
Real vampires don't really only drink blood, they will eat other food, just like Xueni.
Besides, even if you insist on drinking blood and don't eat other foods, don't just drink dragon blood.
This thing is so expensive that he can hardly afford it anymore. Elaine's appetite is a bottomless pit.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Hermione pushed Ivan gently, and Elaine seemed to take what he said seriously.
What's going on with this child, it's obviously not that simple.
Among this group of people, Elaine is definitely the number one with the darkest heart, but she is really ignorant sometimes...
It is not difficult to understand, the key lies in the education and things that Elaine has received since she was a child, and the things she has been exposed to are different from normal people.
Therefore, a person who is obviously very shrewd sometimes gets confused on some common sense issues.
"I want to be a real vampire!" she said.
"Then work hard, you can start with the food..." Ivan stopped suddenly, he found that Elaine had been staring at him, this feeling was weird, he swallowed, and changed the subject abruptly, "In my heart, you are already a real vampire, the strongest and cutest vampire, you don't need to do anything to prove yourself."
"But I have never bitten anyone!"
"Then what, Colin, don't you want to invite your female partner to dance? Boys need to take the initiative." Aiwen said, pretending not to hear what Elaine said, "Seriously, let's not be stupid Stand here and drink whatever you want. Don't worry about Harry, Luna, he will come to us in a while. Ah, I see the weird sisters, Hermione, don't you like them very much? I like them too song, it’s a rare opportunity, let’s go over and ask for an autograph.”
He wiped off his sweat and pushed Hermione and Luna into the crowd, where Ginny and Dean were already dancing.
Colin stood where he was, looking at Elaine in awe, not sure if she should be asked to dance.
After struggling for a while, he waited until the brisk tune sounded before he made the invitation, but Elaine did not refuse.
