The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 157: Christmas Dinner (Second Change)

"Thank you..." Astoria Greengrass lowered his head with some embarrassment: "You are actually very handsome today..."

Jon looked around. Fortunately, Professor McGonagall left the office after dealing with the magpie.

It's just the two of them here now.

"Professor Dumbledore asked Professor Snape to ask me if I would like to be a warrior's dance partner... I guessed it should be yours, so I agreed..." Astoria stammered. : "Professor Snape said, Professor Dumbledore asked me not to tell you in advance...he said..."

"A surprise, isn't it?" Jon said easily, he smiled and grabbed Astoria's hand: "I never imagined that there would be such a big surprise at the party."

Jon felt that he was willing to help Snape deal with a hundred more fire snake eggs; and followed Dumbledore to reminisce ten Grindelwald's speeches; there was no problem in dealing with ten Ukrainian iron bellies in a row... …

Astoria's arm was slightly stiff due to tension, but she still held Jon's hand tightly.

"It's almost time, shall we go to the hall too?" Jon suggested softly.

"Okay!" Astoria smiled sweetly.

...

The doors of the auditorium have been opened.

Professor McGonagall walked in the front of the crowd, and then the warriors and their dance partners walked in in pairs. A passageway flashed through the chattering crowd to let them pass.

"Jon, I'm a little nervous!" Astoria said softly.

They were the last of four pairs of warriors, and the crowd could be heard pointing at them from time to time.

"It's okay!" Jon smiled: "Just treat it as a potion class."

Astoria laughed too, but she took Jon's hand and squeezed it tighter.

The walls of the Great Hall were covered with glittering silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and there were hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy.

Gone were the four college tables, replaced by dozens of smaller tables lit by lanterns, each with a dozen people sitting at them.

Jon heard many people greet him, and he had to respond to them with a smile; Astoria lowered her head shyly, avoiding the sight of her classmates, even when her sister called her, she I dare not say a word.

Daphne Greengrass' partner was Draco Malfoy, and for some reason Mr. Malfoy's expression on his face was rather displeased; Ernie MacMillan's partner was Susan Burns, and they both excitedly presented Jon waved his hand; Jon also saw Ron Weasley, who was thinking sullenly and didn't even look at his partner Parvati Patil...

The warriors came to the front of the guest table, Dumbledore smiled happily, and Madame Maxime glanced at Cedric with some satisfaction, but Karkaroff saw Hermione getting closer and closer, and the expression on his face was quite subtle.

Ludo Bagman was there, too, in a bright purple robe with big yellow stars on it; Barty Crouch, as Jon expected, wasn't there.

His assistant, Percy Weasley, took his place, greeting Harry Potter with a smug, smug air.

Five referees, as well as eight warriors and their partners, all sat on the guest podium.

A golden plate was placed in front of everyone, and there was no food in it, but a small menu was placed in front of everyone.

Jon picked up his menu and read softly, "Bouillabaisse!"

A plate of French beef immediately appeared on his plate, and Astoria who was beside him gave him a surprised look.

Jon leaned over to her and explained to her: "I think the goulash in red wine is the best, and the Provence stew and bacon quiche are also good... Let alone the sweet and sour pork chop, which has too much sugar added It's not for people to eat..."

Astoria blinked slightly, and at the same time several pairs of eyes on the dining table stared at Jon in surprise.

"Ahem!" Dumbledore looked at his menu expressionlessly, and then said very clearly, "Pork chops!"

A sugar-coated pork chop quickly appeared on Dumbledore's golden plate. Dumbledore forked a piece happily, licked the sugar coating on it, and then glanced at the others:

"Everyone, let's start!"

Others at the table followed suit and ordered their favorite food on the plate.

Percy Weasley and Ludo Bagman to the left of Jon and Astoria, and Hermione Granger and Viktor Krum to the right.

"I'm sorry that Mr. Crouch is not doing well, very badly. Since the World Cup, he has been out of order, which is not surprising--" Percy Weasley was introducing his Situation of the boss:

"The World Cup was a terrible failure for the whole Ministry of Magic, especially Mr. Crouch... because his damned house-elf, Lightning or something, was behaving badly..."

Jon glanced at Hermione, he thought Hermione would immediately refute Weasley's words, but she seemed to be talking speculatively with Viktor Krum, and didn't seem to pay attention to Percy Weasley's remarks at all .

"Ah, we also have a castle, I don't think it's as big as this one, nor as comfortable and very depressing." Krum was introducing Durmstrang's situation in his broken English: "In summer, we are in the castle every day. Flying out there, over lakes, over mountains—”

Fleur Delacour and Harry Potter are a relatively dull couple. Harry is like a child who just fell in love, at a loss for what to do, and he is courteous to Qiu Zhang.

Fleur complained about the situation at Hogwarts in an irritable mood: "These decorations are nothing at all. In Beauxbaton Castle, our auditorium is filled with ice sculptures at Christmas, which is considered beautiful..."

Their dancing partners, Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, were just paying lip service to them...Jon always felt that there was a big melon in it to eat!

Jon was chewing beef while observing the surrounding situation...Suddenly, a crisp voice rang in his ears.

"Open your mouth!" A cool air blew past his ears, making him itchy.

Just as Jon opened his mouth, a round thing was sent into his mouth by Astoria.

"Is it delicious?" Astoria asked in a low voice shyly, "The oysters I just shucked...you shouldn't hate it..."

"Great!" Jon blinked. "I've never eaten... anything more delicious than this!"
