HP Peter Can't Be That Cute

Chapter 23 Explosion

Alayya felt like a monkey in a zoo at this moment, but the ball still arrived as scheduled, which symbolized that her life, which she had originally wanted to live in a low-key manner, had to become more tough.

When she appeared at the entrance of the ball, dressed like a "birdman" angel with two pairs of dancers standing on her left and right, she felt like she was being stripped naked.

That's right, now Alaia has four dance partners, including the Hippogriff Prince, Pegasus, Count Dracula and a one-to-one enlarged Bowtruckle. James and Sirius looked particularly domineering, and Lupin's vampire costume was quite standard, except that he had two more fangs and his eyes turned red.

But this giant Bowtruckle is indeed very unusual. It has leaves on its head, and everything on its body is green except its teeth which are white. Its hands have also become what a Bowtruckle should look like. It just wears a mask on its face which makes it more like a Bowtruckle, and it also gives Newt enough sense of security.

To be fair, the handsome men and beautiful women standing there were indeed pleasing to the eye, and their aura was so strong that no one dared to bypass them to enter the venue. However, the group of five was still stopped.

"Um...your dance partners..." The senior in charge was a little confused. Are they going to a dance? They look like they are going to be on the cover of a magazine.

"She is our dance partner, isn't that okay?" James patted Alaiya's shoulder proudly, almost knocking her headdress askew, and explained their relationship very confidently, "There's nothing in the rules that says you can't have only one dance partner, right?"

"But..." Although the senior couldn't come up with any rebuttal, he still felt that this was against the rules.

At this moment, Dumbledore appeared. His dance partner was the professor of Herbology. He helped them out with a surprised and praising tone, "That's wonderful, James, and Sirius... Your costumes really amaze me. If I were younger, I might have been as creative as you."

Seeing the slightly regretful look, Alayya couldn't help but complain, "No, you are too young. When you are old and coquettish, you will be more creative than them!" Unfortunately, she didn't dare to complain out loud, but just muttered it in her heart.

Dumbledore also noticed Peter and gave him a very high evaluation, "Perfect outfit, Peter. I am impressed by your beauty!" A playful wink made Alayya dare not look into his eyes, for fear that he would see something.

Fortunately, under Dumbledore's "cover", they entered smoothly, otherwise Alaia didn't know how long she would have to listen to James' complaints. At this time, he was immersed in the excitement and blindness of being praised by the "male god", and kept bragging about his design to Sirius.

They didn't notice at all that they had become the absolute focus at this moment. Some girls screamed in amazement, some boys who liked to watch the fun booed, and some people loudly ridiculed Newt's Bowtruckle costume.

"Have you told that freak that this is a masquerade, not a monster costume contest?" All kinds of unpleasant words filled Newt's surroundings. Newt was sealed in place by those words, lowered his head, and fell into his own inferiority complex.

Yes, how could he forget the essence of the Halloween party because of the joy of James and his friends designing costumes? It was just a game between beautiful boys and girls. What did it have to do with a freak like him?

Looking at James, Sirius and the others, they were also dressed up brilliantly in the theme of Fantastic Beasts, but he was the only one... like a joke.

Newt's eyes moistened instantly under the mask. He covered his mask with both hands and turned to run. He was extremely glad that he had a mask now, so that he would not fall into the most embarrassing situation. He swore that he would never participate in such activities again. He didn't want to lose face...

At this moment, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Newt hesitated for a moment, and heard a familiar voice in his ear that was full of confidence: "This is a lesson for you for laughing at my friend!"

"And you! Stop laughing!" Sirius followed James's action and punched someone quickly and accurately. Now no one laughed at Newt anymore, and the two of them standing up for each other directly triggered a small fight.

But Newt's arm was held, he turned around and saw that it was Peter... She actually took his hand and put it around her waist. "I think your outfit is very cute, Newt, can you dance with me for the first dance?"

When Alayya saw Newt being laughed at, it reminded her of the time when she was ostracized by other classmates because her family was rich. No matter what she said or did, it seemed wrong. At that time, she gradually became happy thanks to the company of the little animals.

Seeing Newt now was like seeing her past self, so she would definitely help him. Pulling the stiff "Bowtruckle", he was as stiff as a shrimp and let Alaia manipulate him. Every step was abrupt, and every step stepped on Peter's feet, but fell on Newt's heart.

Newt was already in tears. He had no idea what dancing was, but he enjoyed it very much at the moment, and his heart swayed along with the girl's steps.

"Uh, oh... I..." Even the language system switched to that of a magical creature.

"I understand. You're welcome... just hold me tight!" Alayya smiled at him in a friendly manner, secretly praying that if they were closer, she would be stepped on less often.

This dance was the first time Newt had ever danced in his life. The next time would be at the engagement party for Leta and his brother. But he had been vacant of countless opportunities in between. He had been waiting for the reunion...

Newt just stupidly completed the dance under Alaia's "command" until the battle between Sirius and James extended to their front.

Newt stretched out his branch hand to help Alaia block a flying shoe, knocking off his gloves, revealing his originally pale and slender fingers.

"Looks like we have to go and help!" Seeing this, Alaiya was a little worried that if she didn't go to "rescue", she would definitely be "impeached" by James in the coming days.

"Well... I'll listen to you~" Newt's eyes couldn't leave Peter's face at this moment, because his face looked so handsome and he was wearing a mask. Even if he kept staring at him like this, she wouldn't know and feel offended. It would be better if he could just wear the mask all the time.

Alayya brought Newt into the battlefield for reinforcement, but their battle stopped soon because Dumbledore stopped everyone. The people who were fighting just now were hugging each other with forced smiles, and Alayya almost hurt herself by holding back her laughter.

But Sirius and James were too conspicuous and made the most noise, so they were called in for a talk by Dumbledore. However, surprisingly, Dumbledore did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he told them to behave themselves and left.

In Alayya's opinion, this was a kind of protection from Dumbledore, otherwise the problem could not have been solved so easily.

What about Rita? She was in the crowd and saw Newt's "frustration" at the first time, but her dance partner suddenly slandered Newt, which made her very angry. During the negotiation and protest with her dance partner, Alaiya became the one who "saved" Newt. Rita finally missed the chance to save Newt and also missed the chance to dance with Newt in her school days forever...
