Chapter 214 Christmas Ball (I)
Jian Yu felt confused.
Because her dance partner wasn't behaving right.
On Christmas Day, after being held down by Daphne for two hours to put on makeup, she met Blaise in the common room, but he was surprisingly quiet.
Apart from a brief moment of complimenting the way her silver-green dress matched her black hair and eyes, he seemed completely speechless.
"When did you go to Theodore for further studies?"
Jian Yu asked doubtfully. Normally, Blaise would have sharply evaluated every Slytherin attending the ball.
Instead of being even quieter than Theodore.
Blaise's whole body froze, then he coughed twice and answered in a hoarse voice:
"Ahem... my throat... my throat doesn't feel good."
Jian Yu nodded in understanding. It was cold in winter, and it was normal to catch a cold around Christmas.
Seeing that Blaise's face has become so red due to his illness, I guess he will have to go to Madam Pomfrey for some medicine after the ball.
She'd better go to the medical wing to get some stimulants as a precaution, but unfortunately there is no isatis root here.
......
The two of them quickly went to the lawn in front of the castle to wait, where the other warriors and their dance partners were already waiting.
Jian Yu looked around at everyone and found that the warriors' dance partners were all very high-end.
Next to Harry stood the very beautiful Parvati, but she didn't understand why he looked as if he had been punched in the stomach and was staring at Blaise next to her.
Cedric and Fleur stood together, both of them looked absent-minded. Cedric smiled at her when they appeared, but Fleur's eyes flicked back and forth between her and Blaise and she raised an eyebrow.
Next to Krum stood Hermione, who looked like a beautiful fairy tale princess, but she looked very nervous, her eyes also fixed on Blaise.
Jian Yu looked up at Bryce and found that he had a blank expression and looked normal, with nothing unusual.
Why were they all looking at him like that?
There's no scar on Brace's face!
"Hi, Jade!"
Hermione was the first to greet her, but the presence of the unknown Blaise next to Jane made her smile a little tense:
"Thank goodness the ball has a tradition of opening with a brave soldier, so my dress finally came in handy."
Jane marveled at her beauty, then looked at her and Krum curiously, and soon she understood the meaning of Hermione's words.
"I heard something happened to you guys." Krum explained in stiff English, "Many people can't come to the ball, except for the brave and their partners. This gives me the opportunity to invite Hermion."
Hogwarts still lost face to other schools.
The Hogwarts students present closed their eyes unable to bear to watch.
The corners of Hermione's mouth were twitching. If she wasn't afraid of damaging her delicate makeup, she would probably cover her face with both hands.
"It's nothing, Hermion." Krum hurriedly comforted, "It's normal to challenge a duel for a dance partner in our place. Everyone thinks that people who do this are brave. I heard that you joined the battle like a warrior, which is really great."
Jian Yu could feel that he was sincerely praising Hermione's heroic fighting style.
But his explanation would be worse than no explanation at all.
Hermione could barely keep her impeccable expression, and an awkward silence fell over the room.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall called them in in time, avoiding a situation where they continued to stare at each other.
But as the dance music started, things became more and more wrong.
Jian Yu did not feel pity for Bryce because of his cold. On the contrary, she kicked him hard with her high heels.
But Brace was in so much pain that cold sweat soaked his robe, but he didn't even cry out in pain.
He didn't even dodge at all and his dance steps were still skillful.
Mutated? Jian Yu thought doubtfully.
Normally, shouldn't Bryce have widened his eyes and begged her to let him go?
Fortunately, after the song ended, he seemed to finally feel the pain and left a sentence:
"Excuse me, it's a bit hot here, I'm going to change into a robe - do you want a coat?"
Jian Yu smiled and nodded.
Unlike Blaise, she felt it was a bit cold here and needed a coat.
Perhaps people have different physiques, she felt a little cold.
She watched Blaise limp out of the auditorium, holding onto the table.
She walked happily to the table and took a sip of butterbeer, savoring the dense foam.
But unexpectedly, in less than five minutes, Bryce came back wearing a brand new dress!
"Wow, you're so beautiful!" He began to praise her. "The off-shoulder dress suits you so well that I can't even look at it!"
"Uh...thank you?" Jian Yu answered in confusion. She clearly remembered that he had already praised her once before. "But how did you change clothes so quickly? And where's my coat?"
She looked in amazement at his feet and the quickness of his walk.
Blaise's body froze, but fortunately he reacted quickly and responded with a beaming smile:
"I'm wearing two, you wouldn't have expected that!"
"And I didn't find your clothes—"
Jian Yu expressed his understanding.
No wonder he felt the auditorium was still hot in late December, it turned out he was wearing two sets of robes!
But come to think of it, you need to wear more clothes when you have a cold.
The coat she left in the common room might have been taken away by Daphne, so it was normal that she couldn't find it.
At this time, the Weird Sisters played a fast-paced song. Hearing the music, Blaise couldn't wait to pull her onto the dance floor:
"Little snake, come and dance, this song is beautiful!"
Jian Yu looked at him strangely.
What type of name is "little snake"?
Wasn't he a little snake himself?
Also, are his feet made of steel? How can you step on it without it hurting?
Jian Yu attributed the problem to her own underweight and decided to take drastic measures.
"Ouch - pain - murder -"
Bryce finally burst into tears of pain and dodged her high heels, which gave Jian Yu great satisfaction.
But he soon started to fight back, secretly tickling her, which made her so angry that she stepped on his toes again.
"I'm going to the hospital wing." Blaise weakly said after the dance, "You are really a superb dancer..."
He reluctantly but limped away, claiming he needed to get some medicine from Madam Pomfrey.
Jian Yu smiled and nodded again.
If you are sick, you must seek treatment early, and don't be afraid to see a doctor!
She picked up the glass of butterbeer again, but before she could take two sips, Blaise appeared in front of her again!
"What hospital wing? Oh—I used a healing spell!"
Blaise began to talk about the decorations in the auditorium and the professors and students in colorful gowns, and he could hardly stop talking.
Jian Yu became suspicious.
Could it be that Brace is suffering from schizophrenia?
What you say doesn't make sense?
So quiet one moment and so noisy the next?
Draco's soul possession?
As the music started, the same scene began to repeat, but this time their dance was stopped by Harry who suddenly jumped out.
"Can I-can I ask you to dance?"
But before Jian Yu could respond, Brace started yelling:
"What? How do you deserve it, Potter?"
Harry opened his eyes wide, and he quickly realized something. He stared at Blaise with a vigilant look and warned:
"I know what you did, Ma...Zabini."
The two gradually confronted each other, but Bryce touched his hair and suddenly became flustered. He left in a hurry after saying:
"I...I think I need to make another trip to the Hospital Wing!"
Jian Yu nodded blankly.
She looked at his back as he left, but felt a little dizzy.
Did Bryce's hair color become lighter?
Turning back, she was about to decline Harry politely to avoid harming the protagonist's toes, but her words were interrupted by Fleur who came to invite her.
The radiant Beauxbatons warrior looked at her with a playful look and smiled:
"Do you want to join me and Cedric in dancing? We have a traditional dance where multiple people can do it together—"
Who can resist beauty?
Anyway, it’s hard for Jian Yu to refuse.
She was about to agree, but there was a sudden commotion at the door, causing all the students to look towards the door.
The closed door of the auditorium was pushed open with a bang!
Snape walked ahead menacingly and roared:
"Principal, you need to see these students—"
Everyone in the auditorium looked in shock at the five dejected Blaise Zabinis following behind him!
They lined up and walked into the auditorium like criminals being captured and imprisoned.
Jian Yu was stunned.
She said that Bryce showed such a good mental state today!
It turns out this guy is a patchwork version!
But she had only seen three Braces just now...who were the other two Braces?
