Chapter 362
Chapter 362
The band started to play, and Professor Flitwick seemed to put the little unpleasantness behind him almost immediately.He quickly cleared his throat, and with the melodious accompaniment of the saxophone, he sang very emotionally.
"You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!"
Oh, it's over.Liu Quan couldn't help closing his eyes.
Almost at the same time, Snape's body froze suddenly, as if under a petrification spell.
Then, without saying a word, he suddenly turned around and walked directly to the gate of the auditorium.
Both Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looked very surprised, and Professor McGonagall even shouted, "Severus, where are you going?"
The rolling back of Snape's black robe didn't stop at all, and only dropped a word coldly: "Night Watch."
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Liu Quan who had opened his eyes on the sidelines.
Liu Quan smiled wryly, and spread his hands to them, expressing his helplessness.
She wasn't going to explain why Snape had fled the Great Hall as soon as he heard the song.Do you want to say "Oh, Mr. George Weasley asked me to be his dance partner after Potions class that day, but Severus scolded me away, and then I did it on purpose to vent my anger for those little lions in this house who almost got deducted points again for no reason. Singing the song with the armor and asking him back to dance with him at the Christmas party"? !
The ignorant Professor McGonagall looked at her sympathetically, with a look in his eyes that seemed to say "Oh boy, it's a pity he left you alone in such an ungentlemanly way", as if he didn't care about her and Snape at all. It's not like attending tonight's Christmas ball together as a dance partner.
But Dumbledore, who knew about it, just shrugged and said to Liu Quan: "Oh, Lily, I think Severus forgot that I haven't given him the horn of the horned camel... Our school has the responsibility I am really pleased with such a strong-minded teacher. Oh hehe... Well, since he is busy watching the night, I think I will ask you to complete the task of entrusting this thing to him. It is placed on a shelf in the principal's office, After you go in, a Flying Charm can solve the problem...today's password is 'honey wine'."
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and found that the old wizard winked at her again, and then glanced at the wine glass she had used before.Thinking of the word "Felix Elixir" that Dumbledore strongly emphasized to her before, what is there to be sure about?
She was tongue-tied for a moment, then burst out laughing, nodded and said, "I'm very happy, Professor Dumbledore."
She didn't finish listening to Professor Flitwick's emotional singing, and hurried along the corner, through the crowd, and walked out of the Great Hall.
Behind her, the small Professor Flitwick swayed his body, while holding the microphone in front of him, which was several sizes smaller than his figure, and sang the vicissitudes of the muggle jazz singer's hoarse voice and The warm and smiling interpretation is imitated vividly.
"He'smaKingalisandchecKingittwice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town!"
……
Liu Quan climbed up to the eighth floor and said "honey wine" to the surprisingly ugly gatekeeper stone beast at the door of the principal's office, and the stone beast groaned and slid sideways.
Liu Quan went into the principal's office, and there was no one in the picture frames of the former principals on the wall, and most of them went downstairs to participate in the carnival.Only Phineas Nigellus Black actually remained in his frame.Seeing her come in, he sniffled in disgust and said, "Yo, look who's here? That Muggleborn from Gryffindor!"
Liu Quan ignored him, pulled out his wand and shouted, "The horn of the Horned Camel is coming!", and suddenly a strange-looking curved horn flew out from an unknown corner, and nailed it straight at her face.
Liu Quan turned sideways, put the horn in his left hand, nodded towards the portrait of Phineas Nigellus, and said perfunctorily, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Black." He planned to go out.
Who knew that the old wizard with haughty eyes that seemed to grow to the top of his head suddenly stopped her when he saw her, and when she stopped and turned around, he hesitated and refused to speak.
If it was normal, Liu Quan would probably wait patiently for him to speak.But tonight was different, Snape ran away after listening to that terrible Christmas carol, Dumbledore gave her a perfect excuse to chase him, she couldn't wait for him to do something worse Only catch up later - this is not the way of a good player's strategy, is it?
So she stared at the portrait of Phineas Nigellus a little anxiously, and couldn't help asking: "May I help you, Mr. Black?"
Phineas Nigellus blushed a little annoyed at her unspoken urging, but perhaps it was because the question he was about to ask was difficult—he finally asked as if nothing had happened: "How's the ball? You young people like balls, don't you?"
Liu Quan nodded because he didn't understand. He didn't know why he suddenly asked this.If he wanted to go to the ball too, he could just go downstairs to the Great Hall with the other portraits—there were also framed pictures on the wall of the Great Hall that they could visit, and they could stay there and watch the ball.
Phineas Nigellus didn't wait for any additional clarification, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows angrily, and asked again pretending to be casual, "...you didn't dance with Sirius?"
"Sirius?" Liu Quan came to his senses now.
Sirius Black has been rehabilitated shortly after his escape from Azkaban last year when the real killer was caught.Although Peter Pedilu, the real culprit of the whistleblower, followed him and escaped from prison using the method of Animagus, and his whereabouts are unknown, but his reputation as a tragic hero will not be damaged.
He is now returning to his old job as an Auror in the Ministry of Magic. In this Triwizard Tournament, he also entered Hogwarts as an Auror sent by the Ministry of Magic to serve as a security guard. Naturally, he also attended tonight's Christmas ball.It's just that he is so popular that the little girls are almost breaking their heads trying to be his dance partner.
Liu Quan noticed that he appeared tonight with a beautiful woman from Beauxbaton on his arm. That girl was not as gorgeous as Fu Rong, but she had an elegant manner and delicate features. She was very friendly when she smiled.
As for Liu Quan, apart from standing next to Snape and acting as a wallflower on the teacher's table tonight, Liu Quan did a couple of dances with Snape, and now he hurried to the principal's office to fetch the horned camel The horn of the beast, so that she could have an excuse to go to Snape; she wouldn't have time to talk to Sirius.What's more, Sirius was busy with those little girl admirers all night, and he didn't even have time to come and talk to Liu Quan.
So Liu Quan answered Phineas Nigellus honestly, "Your grandson is so popular, he dances with different girls all night, and he doesn't even have time to rest..."
Phineas Nigellus interrupted impatiently, "So there are none?"
Liu Quan swears, I didn't praise your grandson for sweeping Qixing with his infinite charm just to tell you a negative answer tactfully.But she didn't dare to show it on the surface, she just nodded dryly and said, "...that's true."
Phineas Nigellus stared at her as if he couldn't bear it, looked her up and down, and then snorted twice angrily, with the words "really useless" clearly written on his face - he didn't know what he was complaining about. Who is useless—a few big characters, waved her hand angrily and said: "Okay, okay, I understand, you can go."
Liu Quan left the principal's office suspiciously.
Because of such an inexplicable question and answer with Phineas Nigellus, it was delayed for some time. When Liu Quan went down to the first floor, he found that the dance in the auditorium had ended, but in the corridor There are still quite a few students, most of whom are chatting excitedly in groups of three or four, or couples who plan to find a place to continue cultivating their relationship.
Liu Quan stood still in the corridor on the first floor and looked around, but he didn't see Snape.It's not even the curfew time. Is he in the potions office in the cellar?
Liu Quan went to the potion office, but there was no one there.Some plump gentleman in a picture frame in the corridor on the basement level told her kindly that the head of Slytherin hadn't been back.
Liu Quan used a shrinking spell on the Horned Camel's horn, and after shrinking, he hid it in the inner pocket of the silver-white robe he was wearing.Her evening gown was paired with an equally beautiful silver-white hooded gown, similar in style to a long cloak. Not only was the fabric shiny and smooth like the Milky Way in the night sky, but it was also surrounded by dark silver piping studded with snowflake-like sequins. Very gorgeous, walking in the Hogwarts castle, attracting the attention of others from time to time.
Liu Quan regretted why he spent a lot of money to order such an eye-catching costume in Madam Mojin's gown shop.Maybe she was trying to make Severus Snape, who had always been indifferent and arrogant to her, and would sarcastically call her a "fake" when no one was around, saw her in this outfit for the first time Sometimes I will be surprised.After all, as an "excellent player" that System Bacteria has always praised, she has been repeatedly frustrated by Severus Snape, which has seriously challenged her self-confidence and self-esteem as an excellent player——
But she failed.
When she slowly walked into the auditorium and walked towards the teacher's seat, he was not very surprised at her eyes or expression, let alone amazed.He just let his gaze pass by her indifferently, as if she was dressed so eye-catchingly, and it was just a beautiful decoration in the Great Hall of Hogwarts tonight.
She could never win against him.It's been that way since he found out who she really is.Now she is holding the rare potion material that he dreamed of, and it is just a dance that he can't be willing to exchange for.
Even if it looks like an extremely simple task in the original work, when it comes to her, it can only end up in an embarrassing situation where Sli kills each other-but if he can't win his trust and a little more favor, then it will be even more difficult. Those moments in the dark, those difficult moments that can only be overcome with a little tacit understanding and trust in the dark - how can she resolutely reverse the plot of the original work, and it is not necessary to win at the beginning, but now it gradually becomes Since it is a matter of your own dignity and the life of the other party, so what about the side missions that you must complete in your heart? !
Thinking of this, Liu Quan unconsciously came to the first floor again.Although the night was getting dark and it was snowing again, there were quite a few students in the courtyard, probably wanting to brave the cold to seek a little Christmas Eve romantic atmosphere.
She suddenly saw a very familiar black robe corner behind the corner of the corridor in front of her.So he immediately took great strides to catch up.
Panting around the corner, she chased that figure and ran across the corridor. Seeing the black-robed figure's billowing figure pass by, people turned their backs and the idlers retreated, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, and stepped up her pace of pursuit.
Suddenly, a tall man with slightly long hair dressed in a Tatar robe rushed out from the slanting stab.He stalked directly at Snape with purpose, looking as though he intended to grab Snape.
"Severus!..."
Liu Quan paused.
It was the headmaster of Durmstrang, Igor Karkaroff, whose expression always made people feel a little uncomfortable, and who also looked cold and ferocious when he smiled.
The author has something to say:
February 9:
This former Headmaster Black was the one who was finally taken away by Hermione who put the picture frame into the little dragon's leather bag. . .As for what he saw, hehehe, everyone can imagine for themselves.
