Snow fell heavily on the castle and grounds. Beauxbaton's light blue carriage looked like a big frosted pumpkin in winter, and the little gingerbread house next to it was Hagrid's cabin; A layer of ice had formed and became smooth and translucent, and the rigging was also covered with a layer of hoarfrost. The house-elves in the kitchen below were busily busy preparing piping hot stews and luscious puddings in a variety of flavours.
Christmas is finally here, which means the dance party will start tonight.
"Delivered, buddy!" At this moment in the corner of Hogwarts Castle, the Weasley brothers found Malfoy, dragging a large box full of colorful graffiti patterns behind them. "
"It should work pretty well." Fred patted the box in front of him and said confidently.
"It's just that I still don't know why you need so many invisibility cloaks. Even if you need them for the competition, one is enough. Do you still need to buy them from us?" George was still a little puzzled.
"By the way, we made two of the masks you asked for, so let's take them as gifts, but they will look ugly when you wear them on your face, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"Meow...meow..." A sudden meow made the two brothers tremble involuntarily at the same time.
A skinny cat with gray fur was hanging its paws on the guardrail of the spiral staircase, and its bulging eyes like light bulbs were staring at them
"Ms. Norris? My God, we have to hurry, Filch may be nearby." Fred said in a panic
"You can ask yourself, it's still too late to take it back," George reminded Malfoy while running and turning his head.
"What are these things?" Sure enough, the janitor—Filch quickly walked up to Malfoy from a spiral staircase, and asked seriously
"It's just a few clothes. If you don't believe me, take a look?" Malfoy said as he was about to open the box, but was stopped by Filch's outstretched hand.
"Don't be an example." Filch coughed. "Stay away from those two troublemakers in the future." He warned.
"Yes, sir," Malfoy said politely.
Malfoy probably had the best relationship with the caretaker at the school right now.
A few minutes later, the large box was placed in Malfoy's bedroom.
His table was full of gifts from others, many of which were delivered by owls this morning. As for the Lucius couple, they handed over the gifts to him in advance, so as to save some effort.
"Draco, don't be tempted to secretly open the presents. You won't be able to open them until Christmas.", Narcissa put her hands on Malfoy's cheeks to remind him, as if Malfoy was still a naive Yes, children who can't resist the temptation of gifts are the same.
Because there is still a long time before the second project is held, Lucius and his wife will come to Hogwarts to watch the game when the second project starts.
As for Pansy, he also gave him a black and well-made tie.
Malfoy tried on a black velvet high-necked gown that Narcissa had prepared for him in the dormitory, and it looked quite suitable in front of the mirror. It is worth mentioning that this is Narcissa's annual gown since the first grade. One must-have item in his luggage, one updated every year, but there are too few dances at Hogwarts, which made the preparations for the first three years in vain, but it came in handy this year.
At the same time, he was also mentally prepared to be ridiculed by others. Luna's dress, which can be said to have reached the state of "beautiful and delicious", appeared at the ball, and it would definitely cause a sensation like dropping a blockbuster.
After thinking about it, Malfoy decided to spend the first half of today in the library. He still didn't have any sense of expectation for the dance itself, and he wasn't naive enough to have a snowball fight with other students. But when he passed by, he found Pansy by On the railing, she was looking enviously at her classmates galloping across the field.
"If you want your legs to return to normal, get that out of your mind." Malfoy looked at Pansy and said warningly.
She was wearing a thick purple sweater today, as if she had wrapped herself up completely.
"Oh." Pansy replied weakly, a beautiful silver ribbon was tied on her head, and at this moment it drooped feebly, just as listless as she herself.
"But you can play it differently." Malfoy snapped his fingers, "For example." He raised his wand, and the air in front of the wand tip suddenly became colder by a few degrees, and the moisture in the air gradually condensed, and finally formed Three small snow-white balls.
The balls just floated quietly in mid-air, Malfoy raised his hand again, and said softly: "Vassidisi!" The three small balls shot out with a "swish swish", like a machine gun As if, it precisely hit an old poplar tree not far away.
The leaves on the branches had almost fallen off after winter, and they looked bare, only a thick layer of snow covered them. An owl seemed to be awakened by this, and then opened its eyes, flapping its wings At the same time, the ice residue stuck to the wings was shaken off, and then flew away.
"By the way, I can also train myself to control the magic power. It's not bad, isn't it?" Malfoy looked at his results with satisfaction, power is not the key, the accuracy has indeed reached a very high level.
"By the way, how does the little thing I made work? Your legs shouldn't be cold now." Malfoy's eyes moved to Pansy's. The toe of the leather boots was inlaid with a pale gold The small buttons on the waist look like a whole, exuding warmth, extending from the feet to the calves.
"Well, it's quite warm, thank you." Pansy nodded obediently, and then imitated Malfoy's spell and posture just now, trying to condense a puck.
"Aren't you staying here, Draco? Where are you going?" Pansy stared at the puck, watched Malfoy lift his foot and was about to leave, asked quickly, and then said to himself; "I You guessed it, you really don't relax at all, and you have to go to the library on a day like today."
At this time, the white snow almost covered the entire Hogwarts, covered in white, and Malfoy's figure gradually disappeared in the wind and snow, leaving only a series of not deep and not shallow footprints, It was quickly filled with new snowflakes.
Pansy was still on the spot and kept trying the spell-casting technique that Malfoy had taught her just now, either it couldn't take form, or it wasn't accurate.
"Vassidice!" After trying so many times, she finally condensed two snowballs from the cold air, and hit Slytherin and Gran with incomparable precision. Two of Findo's students, obviously, sparked a snowball fight between the houses.
Seeing that his unintentional actions had such "serious" consequences, Pansy felt guilty and left the "crime scene" lightly, moving towards the Slytherin lounge step by step.
"The warm fireplace is still waiting for me." She thought so, diverting her attention, trying to make herself forget what she had just done.
