Chapter 152 Prom
"Why haven't I seen the hairball in the past two days?"
Blinking, Alice showed a meaningful smile: "I let it go out to relax."
"I really love it. So what's the style today?" Carrie lay on the sofa without any image, admiring Alice's dressing show.
"Pure retro style." Alice was busy arranging the skirt that reached the floor without raising her head.She seldom wears skirts with long skirts, and the longest ones used to reach her ankles.
Thanks to magic, she was able to keep her skirts tidy while maintaining her agility.
"Where did you find this dress?" Carrie, who saw Alice packed up and saw the whole picture, stood up and walked around her a few times.
There was no extra decoration on the skirt, only a few roses were embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and skirt.It is reasonable to say that such a white skirt will look dull, but the ingenious tightening of the waist and the intentional folds at the hem immediately enhance the texture of the skirt.
"I originally wanted a white gauze dress," Alice explained, "but the designer said it was nothing new, and suggested that I try a court retro style."
Facts have proved that the designer is worthy of being a professional, and Alice was amazed the moment she saw the dress.Maybe not the same style as everyone else at the ball, but who cares?
"This designer is really amazing!" Carrie sighed in admiration, "You told me that there is such a character, and I followed suit to make one."
"The designer who made your engagement and wedding dresses," Alice replied calmly, ignoring Carrie's cries of regret.
In order to match the clothes, she specially put away the amber necklace she had worn for many years and replaced it with the pearl necklace left by her grandmother.
It is not a high-end pearl, but time and inheritance have polished the pearl to a unique luster, which really looks like it.
"Nice necklace, why didn't I know you still have such good things?" Carrie also admired.She has a unique fondness for pearls, after all, the tears shed by mermaids in fairy tales will turn into pearls.
"It just looks good, but it's actually worthless," Alice explained, "otherwise, I wouldn't have kept it in my hands for so many years."
When her grandmother passed away, she was desperate and sold almost everything she could sell. This pearl necklace was one of the few lucky ones left behind.
She had it appraised, and it could only be sold as an ordinary jewelry. The value of the pearl was better than nothing.In addition, I also want to keep a thought, so I have collected it for so many years.
"As for you not seeing it, of course it's because you didn't have a chance to wear it before." Alice said.After all, which ordinary person would wear a pearl necklace every day?Is it exposed outside the wizard's robe?
Carrie patted her head: "No! How could I remember that when I was in school, you wore a pearl necklace at a party, and you bought that necklace specially."
Alice looked at Carrie in surprise: "How long has passed, you can remember this too."
Carrie lifted her chin, her satisfaction palpable.
"If you put this focus on your studies, you might be able to become a professor now." Alice said with emotion.
She had long since discovered that Carrie was not unintelligent, nor did she hate learning.On the contrary, Carrie realized her own essence and pursuit early on. Unlike Alice, who spends all her energy on studies, she is more willing to enjoy life.
"Don't change the subject," Carrie rolled her eyes, "It's been so many years since I graduated, what's the point of raising grades?"
"I don't know why I didn't take it out at that time," Alice touched the necklace that was stained with body temperature, "Maybe I was quite panicked at that time, afraid that when I lost everything, even the worthless necklace would be sold. "
Carrie's expression changed, and she wanted to comfort her but felt it was unnecessary.Everyone is not the helpless little wizard who used to be, and it is impossible for Alice to become poor again.Even when that time came, she could still help her good friend.
"Okay, let's not talk about this," Alice looked at the sky and turned around again, and walked towards the fireplace after finding nothing wrong. "I've lived here long enough, and I'll move out in a few days."
Carrie was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Alice had already left.
"Really, I didn't say I would drive you away." She whispered.Although she kept talking about trouble and inappropriateness, she was really happy during this time.
Going shopping and drinking afternoon tea together during the day, leaving Andrew behind at night to reminisce with Alice, she seems to have returned to those innocent and ignorant years.Playing around with best friends as a not-so-Ravenclaw.
Alice who left didn't know Carrie's complicated thoughts, and she was shocked by the elaborately decorated castle in front of her.
The twelve necessary Christmas trees were decorated with various decorations. In addition to the star patterns of previous years, the shiny holly fruit and the chirping golden owl fully demonstrated the rich imagination of the professor and the elves.
She felt that she was very lucky, and it was because of the leave during this period that she was able to harvest such a pleasant Hogwarts.
Alice's attire attracted the attention of many people. After thinking about it, she lowered her head and sat down at the small table next to the guest seat, where other teachers from Hogwarts sat.
Today is the special session for the Goblet of Fire braves, she doesn't want to and can't compete with young and energetic boys and girls.
"Alice, you are so beautiful today!" Professor Sprout did not hesitate to praise her, she was recognized as the most comfortable existence in Hogwarts.
Professor Flitwick seemed to be drunk before the banquet started. He blushed and said loudly: "Wisdom and beauty are both, this is Ravenclaw!"
Alice smiled shyly. She knew that the dean had always had a problem with what the outside world said, "Ravenclaws are all boring nerds", so she always had to prove something when she seized the opportunity.
"Very beautiful." Seeing Alice sitting down next to him, Snape was inexplicably relieved, and at this moment he also praised everyone.
Just when the warrior entered the arena, the students at the rest of the round table burst into cheers.
Seeing Harry being pulled forward by his female companion, Alice smiled unconsciously, and then turned to Snape: "I saw Bill a few days ago."
Snape's expression was not very good from Harry's appearance. Hearing Alice's words, the air pressure around him became even lower.
As if chatting casually, Alice immediately changed the subject: "It seems that Cedric has succeeded. I have always felt that Qiu Zhang has a special gentle temperament, which is very attractive."
Snape glanced at the table next to him. Cedric Diggory and Cho Zhang undoubtedly attracted more attention with their outstanding appearance.
"Their grades are barely passable," he said dryly.
Alice nodded, and then looked at Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons: "Although she looks rather arrogant, but with her beauty, it has a special flavor."
"The way you say that is no different from a man seduced by Veela." After a strange silence, Snape still said.
"I'm just admiring the beauty of variety," replied Alice.
Then she stopped talking, just ate the steak while watching Hermione teaching Krum to pronounce her name not far away.If she didn't know the inside story, she might think they are a sweet and foolish couple.
It seems that couples always have a special meal. When Alice finished observing almost all the men and women who were ambiguous, Dumbledore announced that the dance had begun.
The Weird Sisters played a slow piece, to the extent that even Alice, who is not particularly good at dancing, could follow.
Several students were pushing and shouting towards this side, Alice looked at those teenagers, then glanced at Snape.
"I thought, would you like to dance with me?"
Alice snorted, and stretched out her hand reluctantly.
In the next second, she saw those boys running away in panic.
"If you are so timid, you won't be able to catch up with the girl you like," Alice commented. "Girls in this age group still prefer boys who are lively, cheerful, and a little bit out of the way."
In her opinion, like Sirius, the Weasley twins should be more popular types.
"Gryffindor!" Snape cursed under his breath, apparently recognizing the boys with good memory even though they weren't wearing school uniforms.
"Mr. Crouch's dancing posture is not bad, it's different from him." Alice turned around and observed everyone on the dance floor.
Barty Crouch was dancing with Professor Sprout. Although he still had a staid energy, compared to usual, the dancing Crouch showed a bit of elegance, just like Mrs. Maxim not far away.
However, considering that dance is one of the most important forms of communication, and that Barty Crouch is the director of the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation, everything makes sense.
Alice noticed that Harry had left his partner, and didn't know what to say with Ron.If she hadn't known that the two of them had normal sexual orientations, she might have misunderstood whether the friendship between the savior and his good friend had deteriorated.
The Weird Sisters changed to a cheerful tune, and Alice felt that she couldn't keep up.
Seeing this, Snape led Alice through the increasingly excited crowd to an empty corner.
"Why don't you go to the balcony," Alice relaxed, "I feel a little out of breath."
"Because the balcony would be much busier than that," Snape replied.
Alice thought of the couples she bumped into on patrol every day when she was a prefect, and nodded sympathetically.
"So, do you have anything to say?" She looked at Snape.
Snape: "About your latest Squib experiment..."
"Excuse me," Alice stretched out two index fingers and made a fork, "You only have one chance. Well, you can continue."
Snape paused, then quickly said, "I shouldn't have lied to you, and I shouldn't have mistrusted you."
"No, no, no, you should not trust me. You can't be too cautious when facing Voldemort."
There was a sudden burst of cheers from the center of the dance floor, and Snape felt a growing headache, but when he looked up, he found that Alice's expression was quite different from what he had imagined.
"What's the matter?" Alice asked with a smile.
After pondering for a while, Snape said, "Where is my furball, do you want to go and have a look?"
"I said why can't I find it," Alice pointed to her earlobe, "By the way, didn't you find something special about me today?"
"You don't wear earrings." Snape said slowly, staring at Alice's empty earlobes.
"Because they don't match well," Alice tilted her head in distress, "it would be great if I could have another pair of pearl earrings."
