Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

Dancing is indeed difficult for Jiang Li. It is much more difficult than playing with a spear. She and Queenie practiced for a day in the Room of Requirement, but they could only stop stepping on Queenie's feet, which was far from beautiful.

"Oh, it's already evening. Don't you really need to go and eat something? I think there should be dinner in the Hogwarts Great Hall now." Newt stretched his numb legs and stood up from the stool. He stood up and cast a cleaning spell to remove the nut shells stuck to his clothes.

"Maybe Newt is right, honey, I think we have to go get something to eat. There is still some time before the dance and there is no rush." ​​Queenie pulled Jiang Li to stop.

"All right."

Queenie held Jiang Li's cheek with her hands: "Dear, I want to know which boy is so lucky to be your dance partner?"

"Unfortunately, Queenie, I was not invited."

"Pfft." Newt couldn't help but laugh, "Maybe you can ask Cedric, the nice gentleman from our college, for help. I think he would be very helpful."

"No, he already has a dance partner, his girlfriend, Autumn of Ravenclaw."

"Oh, then you might just sit at the table and watch them dance like me, but the kitchen elf might bring you some delicious snacks."

"I don't want it! I want to dance in the dress Queenie gave me!"

Jiang Li snorted at Newt and ran towards the door of the Room of Requirement holding the box containing the skirt.

Newt and Queenie smiled at each other at her childish behavior.

"Why don't you go to the auditorium?" Jiang Li turned around and found that they were still standing there without moving.

"Credence and his father invited me and Queenie to have dinner at the Hog's Head, he's been at Aberforth's lately."

"Then why didn't he invite me?"

"Students are not allowed to leave Hogwarts without permission during non-weekends. I think Dumbledore should have told you about this rule."

"This rule can't stop me at all. How many times have I escaped!"

"But, I think you should stay with your classmates. Maybe there are kind-hearted children who are willing to be your dance partner." Queenie patted Jiang Li on the shoulder to comfort her.

What she said made Jiang Li break her guard. She had to rely on the kindness of others to have a dance partner.

"Don't be discouraged. I think the godson of the Sirius family is quite good. He looks like a good boy. I think if you ask, as a friend, he will definitely be willing to help you."

Newt has a very good impression of Harry. There are no shortcomings except that this kid insisted on knocking off Dumbledore and Grindelwald after hearing stories about his past.

The two old men were fighting to the death. They looked nothing like a couple. Young people's thinking was really strange. Newt didn't understand. Newt didn't understand.

"Maybe, I think I can ask Harry later, but his dancing level should be on par with mine. You will see two crabs crawling around in the auditorium on the day of the dance. See you later!" Jiang Li hugged He held the box and said goodbye to them.

Speaking of dance partners, the first thing that came to Jiang Li's mind was Draco, but what was he doing when Professor McGonagall announced that the dance was going to be held?

He was having a lively chat with Parkinson and the two girls from the Greengrass family. Parkinson even cast a provocative look at her. It seemed that Draco had identified his dance partner among them.

Jiang Li did not go to the auditorium to have dinner first. She planned to put the dress back in the dormitory before going to the auditorium.

Of course Queenie had to keep the dress that she had made for her.

She walked down to the basement with the box in her arms. In the passage connecting the kitchen to the Hufflepuff dormitory, an unexpected person leaned against the wall, seemingly waiting for something.

The boy's slender figure cast a long shadow under the dim light, which seemed a bit lonely. He lowered his head and showed no expression on his face.

"Draco, why are you here? Shouldn't Slytherin's dormitory be over there?" Jiang Li pointed to the stairs on the other side and asked in confusion.

Hearing her voice, Draco raised his head and looked at her: "Where have you been?"

His body was a little stiff from standing here for too long, and his eyes were a little red.

"Queenie heard that Hogwarts was going to hold a dance, so she specially sent me a dress she made by herself!" Jiang Li patted the box in her hand at Draco as if showing off.

Then his eyes fell on Draco: "Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"

"Well, I didn't find you, so I thought I would wait for you in Hufflepuff's dormitory. I thought you would come back." Draco's voice was nasal.

"You shouldn't have been waiting all afternoon."

"Yeah." Draco kicked his somewhat stiff legs and walked towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li stared blankly at him walking towards her.

Under the dim and dancing light, the handsome boy, like a medieval English gentleman, bent slightly, put his left hand behind his back, and extended his right hand to her.

"Draco Malfoy, would you be honored to invite Miss Jiang to be my dance partner?"

His eyes were gentle and deep. It was rare for him to look so gentle. Facing his expectant gaze, Jiang Li gently put her right hand on his hand by some strange combination of circumstances.

Draco immediately grabbed her hand, as if he was afraid she would regret it.

"But Draco, don't you have a dance partner?" Jiang Li thought of the scene he saw in the morning.

"Yes, you are my dance partner." Draco had a slight smile on his lips.

"Parkinson and Greengrass, I saw you chatting happily this morning, and I thought your dance partner would be one of the three of them."

"You were secretly watching me this morning!"

Draco's sudden excitement left Jiang Li speechless. Why was this kid's focus so strange?

"Are you talking about Parkinson and Greengrass? Blaise wants to invite Astoria to be his dance partner, but is too embarrassed to ask, so please ask me."

"What? He's embarrassed? He's such a prodigal in love. I heard that girls from four colleges have been fucked by him!"

"You know, boys are always shy when facing the girl they really like. Besides, he has never confessed his feelings to Aspen." Draco's cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes were constantly glancing at the girl beside him.

"Okay, but Draco, let me start by saying that I don't know how to dance at all. Although Queenie is teaching me, it's still hard to say how good I will be in the end, and Credence is back. She probably has her own things to be busy with."

"It's okay, I can teach you. I think I'll be a good teacher."

Draco held her hand and slowly walked her to the door of the Hufflepuff dormitory.

"Go and put your things down. I'll wait for you here and go to the auditorium to have dinner together."
