Chapter 225: Prelude

After all Gryffindor students had left, Snape cleared his throat and said in a very quick, non-emotional tone:
"The Christmas ball is coming-this is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to interact with foreign guests. This is the case, the ball is only open to students above the fourth grade-but if you want, Can invite a lower grade student—"
"To put on your gowns and robes, the ball will be held in the auditorium at 8 pm on Christmas Day and end at 12 midnight." Snape continued.
"Okay, these are the content I want to retell. In addition, don’t ask me any other information about the ball. I think the vice president Professor McGonagall can provide you with a more complete answer. She is more positive about this." The expression on Nep's face was so cold that he seemed to be very uninterested in the ball, and even disgusted.
"Dance?" Pansy's eyes lighted up. Like her, other Slytherin girls began to show excitement at this time, even ignoring Snape was still on stage, and whispered on the spot. But the difference is that the light in the former's eyes quickly dimmed, and he put his head on his arms at the desk, staring at the back of a student in front, silently in a daze.
Her leg injury could not support her to complete a dance, and then Pansy straightened her back, and looked at Malfoy sideways, but the latter could only smile at her helplessly.
"That's right," Snape said suddenly. "Mr. Malfoy, you must have a partner as a warrior. I hope you can prepare early. I don't want to see the warriors of the college like a lonely man at the ball."
Malfoy clearly saw Pansy's face getting paler.
"It's just a dance partner." She was comforting herself in her heart, but the scene had already emerged in her mind. In the center of the dance floor, Malfoy was wearing a black dress with exquisite craftsmanship, and the neckline showed a white shirt, full of gentlemanly style. Embracing the waist of a beautiful girl also wearing gorgeous clothes, tacitly following the melodious music, stroking her body on the beat, the eyes of the two exchanged from time to time, as if flirting.
Then at the moment when the girl stopped in the dance posture, her soft body lifted up lightly, her silver waist and long hair spread out, and at the same time she turned around with extra strength, demonstrating a provocative smile towards her, Straightened his body forward, as if he would touch the chest of the boy in front of him at any time.
It was only then that Pansy saw the girl's face clearly, that was the person with the greatest threat in her mind-Fleur Delacour.
She was showing a white tooth, a bright smile, staring affectionately at the boy in front of her, her eyes watery and moving.
"What do you think?" Malfoy stretched out his hand, shaking in front of Pansy's eyes, trying to draw her attention, and Pansy returned to reality from his fantasy.
"I didn't think about anything." Pansy turned his head to the other side, rubbing the corners of his eyes, muttering, not wanting Malfoy to see his present expression.
Malfoy thought he still guessed some of Pansy's thoughts, but there was no solution.

"Will Draco have a dance partner now?..." At the door of the Slytherin Lounge, a Ravenclaw girl asked Pansy a little bit timidly, so that the girls were not one or two, in each dean. After I was informed about the Christmas ball, the atmosphere of the whole school suddenly became ambiguous.
In the first game, the spectators in the first game clearly understood that the Warriors were really not a good job. The feeling of admiration began to rise, and the feeling of jealousy began to rise. Subside.
For example, Ravenclaw’s underage students thought that Malfoy was very attractive, and the flexible use of deformity in the game seemed to be easy to use. In the end, he showed the power of knowledge. Go to attack elsewhere.
So many of the female students chose to let go of their prejudices and invite the warrior.
However, under the strict defense of a small vinegar altar, they were rejected.
"Sorry, Draco, he doesn't like girls who wear glasses." A girl with big braided glasses and braided braids ran away crying.
"Sorry, Draco doesn't like girls younger than her, because he thinks it's naive to deal with girls like this, and wait for you to grow up...oh no, you have no chance in your life."
Another girl ran away in tears.
"Sorry, Draco, he doesn't like girls older than her..."
When Pansy began to reject a girl for Malfoy, she only felt her head was patted from behind, and then her body shook slightly, and she slowly tidied her face. The expression, showing a look of grievance, turned around.
As expected, Malfoy looked at her quietly.
"As you say, with so many options excluded, I just think I like men now, and, I don't know when I have a new spokesperson." Malfoy looked at Pansy helplessly. The corner of his mouth twitched and said, he didn't know that he had just stayed in the library for a morning, and he had so many "taboos".
"Yes! You invite a man to be your dance partner, so that everyone's eyes will definitely fall off~EbookFREE.me~ Pansy hoped.
"Okay, I'll apologize to them later." Looking at Malfoy's eyes, he gradually calmed down, and Pansy gradually choked up. Reluctantly don't go around and whispered: "I just want to help you pick a better dance partner."
It is a pity that the sour smell permeated in this sentence made her unwilling to believe the truth of her sentence.
"That's really grateful, as long as you don't do anything, even help." Malfoy said with an eyebrow raised.
Pansy’s injury was not enough to support her participation in the ball. After all, she now has difficulty walking, otherwise Malfoy still does not mind satisfying the little wish of the girl.
She lowered her head in frustration and lay prone on the table as if she had suffered a huge blow.
"Are you going to invite the girl from Booth Barton?" Pansy asked suddenly.
"No." Malfoy replied briefly. His words made Pansy's mood better, but in a blink of an eye again, "then she will definitely come to invite you," she murmured.
