HP Shavings Wizard

Chapter 331 Stepping on Foot

After an exciting November with Quidditch matches and the Triwizard Tournament, the atmosphere in December has become a little calmer with the cold air.

But by the week leading up to Christmas, everyone started to get restless again.

There are some exquisite gadgets everywhere in the castle.

Including the essential cedar for Christmas, various pine cone bell ornaments hung on pine trees, gold owls, beautifully carved silver plates in every corner, and Honeydukes candies in silk bags...

Even the armor that made noises was cleaned up and completely shut up.

The deans of each college have already notified everyone in advance about this year's Christmas ball.

The warriors' opening dance was the responsibility of the family of three, and the professors did not need to worry about the issue of dance partners. They only needed to pay attention to whether the children were inappropriate or not, so as not to make a fool of themselves in front of the distinguished guests from other schools.

It seems that whenever there is a large-scale event recently, the faculty and staff become extremely nervous, fearing that they will embarrass Hogwarts in front of foreigners.

The young wizards responded positively to the legal nightlife, and almost all those who met the requirements were willing to give up Christmas and family reunion and stay in school to attend the Christmas dance - this was a rare collective carnival that lasted until midnight, except for illegal night tours and being trapped in the observatory for astronomy classes and being forced to stay until 12 o'clock!

However, the Christmas dance is only open to students in the fourth grade and above. Lower grade students can only barely get into the dance unless they have a dance partner from the upper grade.

Ah, of course, the dress gown is the everlasting theme, the ticket to the ball.

Alison doesn't need to worry about these things. Money and power can solve most problems in life, so she has no worries.

The little red-haired wizard had already mentioned his invitation to a dance partner to Kraft in advance, and the old wizard readily agreed.

With nothing to do, she skipped classes until every day off, and to kill time while the adults at home were busy, she started doing some art decoration at Hogwarts.

She found an open space in the courtyard and transformed different colored ballroom dance step labels for men and women on it.

Soon, some two-toned footprints of different shades appeared on the ground - they were the beginnings of different dance steps.

Alison modified the Transfiguration to become a trigger type, where the next step would only appear after stepping on the right footprint - otherwise, if it were to spin around like a ballroom dance with a large range, it would sooner or later confuse some stupid idiots.

She also got a phonograph and some records.

It's a pretty old thing, but it has a kind of classical beauty in combination with the castle environment. Even if the beautiful big speakers don't play music, they serve as nice decorations.

I have to say, although she is usually extremely lazy, she is really good at decorating the venue when it comes to serious decoration, and her aesthetics and practicality are both on point.

The little red-haired wizard scoffed at the deans' admonition not to behave inappropriately.

Most of the small animals won't cause any serious trouble, so you just need to keep an eye on a few notoriously naughty ones.

For other clumsy idiots, instead of just talking about it, it would be more practical to provide a place to practice for those who embarrass themselves by sticking their feet to the ground or their partner's feet, or to give them a surprise dance class.

Alison finished decorating the open-air venue and left.

Soon, the small animals that were already curious about the behavior of the devil slowly came closer and tried to find out the uses of these things.

In order to meet the urgent needs of others, the small dance practice venue that Alison created was naturally welcomed by many little wizards.

In fact, many wizarding and Muggle families also retain relevant ballroom dance education, but most of them are just influenced by it, such as watching their parents dance at adult gatherings.

Don't expect a child who starts boarding school at the age of eleven to have any self-taught abilities.

Those who can really dance smoothly usually rely on talent, and they are a very small group of people.

There are many people whose hands and feet are uncoordinated and as stiff as a piece of wood.

Hogwarts also holds some dinners for big festivals like Halloween, where you can dance in the hall. But it's not formal, everyone is relaxed, laughing and joking, and it doesn't matter how you dance.

But now the situation is more urgent.

What if a foreign peer from Durmstrang or Beauxbatons invites me to dance, and the students from Hogwarts keep stepping on their feet...

Professor McGonagall, who was always serious, passed by the courtyard and saw a group of senior students practicing dancing. She was attracted by the fresh arrangements.

Seeing some clumsy little animals, Professor Cat frowned, thought about it, and felt that they really needed some practice.

It’s fine if there weren’t any people from other schools before…

If the embarrassment were to spread abroad, Professor McGonagall would become famous.

In the last few minutes of her next Transfiguration class, she also temporarily went to the dance practice venue in the courtyard. The Lion Queen swept her majestic gaze across the entire venue, and paused worriedly at a few clumsy guys.

"…Although we don't require you to dance at the ball, I still hope that you can practice in advance to avoid being disrespectful. This is a great opportunity to interact with foreign peers, and I don't want a Gryffindor student to embarrass the school."

We don't expect them to be able to practice very well on a last-minute basis, but at least after practicing they will have a better understanding of themselves, and those who are prone to stepping on other people's feet will politely refuse foreign guests to avoid stepping on the feet of foreign guests again.

When the other deans found out about the dance practice venue Alison had set up, they didn't even bother to praise the devil for doing a good deed. Instead, they became anxious and urged the little wizards to practice their dance steps.

The courtyard has become a popular tourist attraction, where you can often see animals dancing, either laughing or frowning, or... stepping on their companions' feet.

Sometimes, an idle professor would randomly appear and come here for a stroll, staring at a few idiots as stiff as wood with his sharp eagle-like eyes, and instructing them on the dance moves with a look of disappointment.
