HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 169 The Conscientious Professor

Furong's words made Gloria's face change. She put down her knife and fork and pressed the corners of her lips with her napkin.

But Roger Davis was imitating Furong and banging the table.

"Miss Delacour, every country has its own culture and eating habits. Please respect the aesthetics of Hogwarts. There are many French foods on the menu. No one is forcing you to eat food you don't like. As for the choir, we are not wizard babies who have just learned to walk and need fairies to sing and coax us to sleep. We prefer ghosts with different and distinct personalities, even if it is a mischievous ghost."

Furong's proud face froze, and Gloria's neither loud nor soft voice attracted the attention of the people around her.

Ms. Maxime put down her cutlery gracefully. "I'm so sorry, my student has lost his manners."

Dumbledore smiled and raised his glass to her, "These are all excellent students. It's normal for them to be full of youthful vigor."

Mr. Bagman added, "That's right..."

Fleur silently dropped her hands under the table. Hermione tugged at Gloria's sleeve and said, "You said it very well."

She was not happy to hear that either, but was hindered by the judges sitting at the table.

Gloria picked up the cup, "She's here to participate in the competition, not to find fault with Hogwarts."

"You are admired for your Veela ancestry, and you think you are so good." Draco did not hide the contempt in his eyes, and it was clearly pierced into Fleur's body. "You are even worse than a Muggle wizard."

Others didn't know what the boy said, but Furong knew from the look in his eyes that it was definitely not a good thing.

Gloria remained calm. She didn't care about the other person's ancestry, but those words were really infuriating. Hogwarts was her alma mater, and it was nothing for a student from another school to sit here and comment.

Fortunately, the banquet was almost over, and Headmaster Dumbledore stood up after finishing his meal.

"I believe you have all finished eating, so it's time for the dance to begin. Students, please stand up."

All the students stood up, and he waved his magic wand. All the tables flew to the corners to make space. He waved his magic wand again, and the space turned into a stage with drums, guitars and other musical instruments on it.

This stage inexplicably reminded Gloria of the stage created by Lockhart on Valentine's Day in her second year.

The Weird Sisters went on stage together. They were a famous band in the wizarding world. Many students in the audience were their fans and they immediately broke into thunderous applause.

The warriors needed to lead the dance, and Draco immediately reached out to Gloria. They were the first pair to walk to the open space, followed by Krum and Hermione. The warriors entered the dance floor in pairs.

Gloria stared into Draco's eyes with a smile, but the next moment, Harry, in a panic, bumped into Draco.

The boy was quite annoyed, but luckily he managed to keep his balance and not stumble. He glared at Harry fiercely during the rotation. Harry was dancing so hard that he didn't even have time to say sorry.

Gloria found that Harry danced very badly and it was only with Parvati's guidance that he did not make any big mistakes.

Gradually, other people joined the dance. Harry didn't know where he was spinning, so Draco hugged his beloved girl with peace of mind.

When the song ended, the Weird Sisters changed to a more cheerful piece of music, which completely aroused everyone's emotions and made them dance to their heart's content.

When they were dancing happily, there was a loud shout from outside the dance floor, "No! It's just to win the competition!"

Gloria looked out curiously and found Ron arguing with Hermione, whose cheeks were flushed with anger.

There were a lot of people watching them, but the two men didn't care at all and were still arguing.

"Are they finally going to have a complete falling out?" Draco said gloatingly.

Gloria raised her eyebrows. "They have conflicts from time to time. It was even worse in the third grade than it is now."

After dancing for a while, Draco felt that it was too crowded. "Shall we go to the Astronomy Tower?"

Gloria nodded quickly, "Let's go."

They squeezed out of the crowd and walked out of the auditorium.

The decorated lawn looks like a small garden, with fairies flying and sparkling among the flowers and statues.

They were not the only ones coming out. There were several students in front of them who dispersed and walked in different directions.

Gloria chose a path, but she had not walked far when she met two figures in front of her. They were Harry and Ron.

"Are you kidding me..." Draco muttered angrily.

Harry turned around when he heard the noise, "Leah, why did you come out?"

When Ron saw Draco, he quickly stood behind Harry, fearing that he would mock his old-fashioned suit.

Gloria said, "There are too many people in the auditorium. We are going to the astronomy tower."

"You were abandoned by your dance partner," Draco said maliciously, "especially..." He tilted his head to look at Ron who was hiding behind Harry, "a certain Weasley from the fifteenth century."

Before the argument escalated, the voices came closer and closer. Harry keenly recognized who it was and whispered, "Professor Snape -"

They were silent, and the sound of conversation got closer.

"Severus, you must have felt it too." The figure approached, and the man with a panicked and hoarse voice was Karkaroff. He pinched his left arm with his right hand, "It has become more and more obvious in the past few months, and it is even burning. I am very worried..."

"Then run away!" Professor Snape said impatiently, "I will excuse you."

He moved away from the approaching Karkaroff in disgust, pulled out his wand and blasted the rose bushes apart. Screams came from inside and two dark figures jumped out.

"Ten points off Ravenclaw, Fawcett!"

Gloria remembered this name. When the Warriors were registering, this girl also took an aging agent and was sent to the medical wing. Now she was caught red-handed. When she heard that she would be deducted points, she immediately picked up her skirt and ran away.

"Ten points off for Hufflepuff, too, Stebbins!"

The boy followed the girl. Gloria was amazed that in such a dim environment, he could still recognize the two students who were not wearing school uniforms and which college they belonged to.

Professor Snape turned around and found them, "What are you doing?"

"A walk," Harry responded quickly, thankful that he was with Ron instead of dating someone and getting caught.

"Come out for some fresh air and get ready to go back." Draco also explained.

Professor Snape snorted coldly and strode away. His long black robe fluttered in the night, and Karkaroff hurried to catch up.

All four of them had something to say, but they definitely didn't want to say it in this situation.

Gloria grabbed Draco's hand and said, "Let's go first."

Harry and Ron nodded dumbly.

As they ran upstairs in the castle, Draco asked, "What is Karkaroff talking about?"

Gloria glanced around and whispered in his ear, "The Dark Marks on them are reacting."

Draco was shocked, and the beautiful thoughts brought by the ball were gone. Even though he was prepared, he was still worried when he heard such words, "The mysterious man... is already active?"

Lucius's Dark Mark disappeared, and he had no idea of ​​Voldemort's current situation.

"Not sure, maybe there are some small activities, but he has definitely not recovered, otherwise he would have summoned these confidants to get together long ago." Gloria said: "Besides, after he recovers, he will definitely find a way to find Harry. We will know if Harry moves."
