Chapter 361
After they danced for a few minutes, people on the dance floor gradually became less restrained.But more people probably thought that Snape's dancing was an unprecedented and rare event, so many people stopped and stood aside, just to watch the two of them dance together.
Liu Quan's dark blue skirt danced lightly with the melody. The slanted shoulder style, the wide belt around the waist, and the design with a long streamer dragging behind her shoulders all made her elegant and moving.The veil-like streamer fluttered behind her as she danced, and the glittering skirt fluttered against the hem of Snape's black robe, as if floating on the rolling black waves. Splashes under the flying starry night.
They cooperated a little strangely at first, and even Dumbledore poked his head pretending to be sad and asked Flitwick, the little professor of charms, "Is there any spell that can be cast on the legs to make people dance immediately, Sif Les looks like he needs to get one."
However, as the dance music deepened, their cooperation became more and more proficient. Even when Snape occasionally took a wrong step, Liu Quan could hold his upper arm in time and use his strength to dodge it with a light jump, making Snape The mistake seemed to be nothing more than a little ingenuity between the partners.
Although Snape's expression didn't look so gritted anymore, it definitely wasn't pretty either.His face was tense, his chin was raised slightly, his eyes looked down at his partner disdainfully, and his big nose became even more mean.
His sleeves covered his palms as usual, only ten fingers were exposed, but he only tightly clasped Liu Quan's hands and back waist with the first knuckles of each finger, as if he wanted to avoid it as much as possible. Excessive physical contact with his dance partner.He danced stiffly (the Weasley twins whispered "Like those mummies we saw moving in Egypt last year!"), but he didn't throw his unfortunate partner out of the way or trip as everyone thought .
Compared with him, his dancing partner, Lily Evans, the beloved Muggle studies professor at Hogwarts - aka Willow Springs - was much more at ease.Her gaze was lowered slightly, as if she was deliberately avoiding Snape's eye contact, but she didn't look disrespectful, as if she was just being too nervous about her dance moves and had to pay attention all the time. The same as their feet.The long red curly hair was tied loosely in a bun at the back of the head, and a few strands of broken hair hung down randomly.Because she was wearing a dress with slanted shoulders, she didn't wear any jewelry, but it seemed that the beautifully made and cleverly designed dark blue dress was enough to steal the spotlight.
"Weird Sisters" seemed to be completely unaffected by the weird atmosphere on the dance floor, and continued to sing with great devotion:
"Iwon'tasKformuchthisChristmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe..."
There is a reference to mistletoe in this wonderful song.This may have reminded Snape, causing him to have some unpleasant associations; the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and the inaccessible nick between his brows deepened.Gritting his teeth, he murmured to himself in a low voice: "...who the hell chose such a song! Dumbledore must have done it on purpose!..."
Liu Quan was a little embarrassed, but also wanted to laugh.
She didn't know much about wizarding pop music, and she thought the "Weird Sisters" were a kind of rock group similar to the Muggle world.What's more, in the first few songs tonight, "Weird Sisters" has been singing hard rock crazily, and the little wizards in the audience are just like those teenage fans in the Muggle world crazily following the rhythm. Swaying down, it deepened her impression.But who knew that they suddenly sang songs with a slightly slower rhythm?
In fact, this kind of song matching is understandable.In his previous life, Liu Quan also participated in several dances organized by groups such as the fraternity club in the school. There were also a few fast songs paired with a few slow songs. Secondly, it can also provide opportunities for boys and girls who just looked at each other at the ball to hug their waists, shoulders and face to face to dance together intimately, appropriately warming up the warm and ambiguous atmosphere in the venue.
It's just that I didn't expect the wizarding world to be like this.
And, the bad lyrics are yet to come.
"'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on tomesotight
What more can I do
Baby, all I want for Christmas you..."
Snape's back was almost so straight that it wanted to snap back.Every time he heard this kind of terrible lyrics appear, he almost shook off her hand immediately.It was a tragedy that even Felicia could not save.
Liu Quan sighed secretly, and said softly: "...If you don't like this song, you can use the spell 'Close your ears and listen'."
Snape was taken aback, realizing that Liu Quan was actually joking, and his face became even uglier.
"I've got the stamina to go through this stupid poor song, Miss Pretender," he answered stiffly, looking sullen, and stepping stiffly and hard, almost like a goose step.
Liu Quan tried his best to cooperate with his increasingly heavy and displeased footsteps, followed his gestures and turned around in a circle, then turned back, putting his left hand on his back again.
His body seemed to tremble inconspicuously because of this touch.
The group of unknown guys on the stage are still singing:
"All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's daughter fills the air
And everyone is issuing
I hearthose sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need-
Won't you please bring my babytome..."
"Think of the horns of the horned camel, Severus." Liu Quan smiled and reminded the dark-eyed wizard in front of him.
Snape muttered, "I don't think even a horned llama is worth the sacrifice—"
"Sometimes people have to make a loss-making business once or twice." Liu Quan was not angry at all, but naturally leaned forward slightly with the melody, and the tip of his nose almost touched his big nose.Snape looked taken aback, and his whole face soon sank, black beyond black.
"Miss Counterfeit! Please pay attention to your words and deeds!..." He shouted in a low voice.
Probably because she knew that Dumbledore was supporting her behind her back, and Snape would not openly embarrass her in front of all the teachers and students of the three schools—maybe it was also because of the wonderful effect of Felicia—Liu Quan At this moment, I feel that my intuition is extremely sensitive, my confidence is bursting, and my courage is also magnified ten times.
She ignored his warning, and didn't intend to distance them any more, she raised her head and looked directly at his face with a smile.
"I think no matter how hopeless a liar is, he deserves a wonderful Christmas Eve." She said in a low and clear voice, her breath gently blowing on his stern face.
"Oh, Idon't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'mas King for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want thim formy own
MorethanyoucouldeverKnow
Ma Kemy wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas you..."
...the Weird Sisters had finally finished singing this long and ridiculous Christmas carol that Snape seemed to be able to sing in a lifetime.
Almost in the next moment, everyone applauded in the whole hall-it is true that this kind of applause will be heard at the end of every song, but Snape had an infuriating illusion of reality, as if the song ended The applause was more enthusiastic than other times.
He felt that his dark expression, barely equipped on his face, was about to crack almost immediately.At that moment, he let go of the imposter's hand almost immediately, turned around suddenly, and rolled towards the sidelines in his black robe-it was unbearable to stay in the middle of the dance floor for another second.
He was greeted with enthusiastic smiles and even more enthusiastic applause from Dumbledore and the other professors.It all made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Dumbledore said excitedly: "Oh, this is really a wonderful song! Is it the new song of 'Weird Sisters'? Never heard of it!"
Professor Flitwick added happily from the side: "No, I heard that it's the most popular new song this year that they specially learned from the Muggle world."
Liu Quan thought: ...Ah, my impression is indeed correct.This song by Tianhou has been selling well for more than ten years... So what is this, is the fusion of unstable worlds producing this plot?Or is it a stalk deliberately set up by the original author of the fan because he likes the song of Tianhou so much?
Then she saw Snape's darkened face and couldn't help coughing, trying to smooth things over and get the matter - and the song - out of the way.However, before she could speak, Durmstrang Principal Karkaroff, who always had his arms folded on his chest and always looked a bit vicious, suddenly tilted his lips, showing a slightly distorted smile, and said: "I Professor Vance seems to want to say something - but, this is just a Muggle song, is Professor Evans worried that it will pollute all the little wizards here?"
Liu Quan's body trembled, feeling disgusted by his words and tone.
This man is really a Death Eater through and through, just listen to the way he said the words "Muggle" and "pollution" in his tone!But how could he have said good things about "a Muggle song"?Do you want to disguise your true identity as a Death Eater like that fake Moody? !
Liu Quan frowned slightly, and quickly returned to his original expression. He couldn't decide whether to sarcastically go back, or to hold back his anger and keep silent and pass by.
At this moment, Snape, who was standing between her and Karkaroff, suddenly spoke coldly.
"For the first time I've heard the myth that singing a song can pollute a wizard's bloodline. If the theory is true, that's a remarkable discovery, and perhaps worthy of an Order of Merlin... We might as well come Listen." His black eyes turned to Karkaroff's direction expressionlessly, glanced at him, and added coldly: "I'm looking forward to it."
This time the scene completely froze.Dumbledore rushed to save the scene, and he laughed peacefully, "Filius, didn't you also prepare a song? Let us appreciate your wonderful singing skills—" and immediately led the audience People applaud.
Professor Flitwick also saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately walked to the front of the band, climbed up to the high podium, bowed to the dance floor, and turned to face the band again. With a wave of his wand, the band members appeared in front of them. A long page of glittering music scores floated in mid-air, emitting a soft and pleasing pale golden light.
The author has something to say:
February 9:
So the stalk of mistletoe reminds the professor of what kind of association hehehehe. . .
