Chapter 588 "The Ball (Part 2)"

Elegant bun, delicate facial features, a snow-white neck, a very high-end evening dress, and a precious sapphire necklace on the chest. As well as the silver bracelet exuding a magical light in her hand and a pair of crystal shoes that look like works of art.

Making Hermione look like a Disney princess on the run, not a student who studies magic every day.

"Thank you for the Christmas present, it's beautiful." Hearing Jerry's compliment, Hermione blushed slightly, then nervously walked to Jerry's side and took his arm.

When she woke up this morning, she saw a Christmas present from Jerry in a pile of gifts by the bed. Different from the candy and biscuits that Harry and Ron gave her, Jerry gave her a pair of magic crystal shoes.

A pair of crystal shoes with various magical functions such as rapidity, jumping, flying, and automatic resizing.

"Let's go to the hall together." Jerry turned his head and said something to Harry and Ron, who were still amazed at Hermione's changes and took Hermione down the stairs to the foyer on the first floor below.

Of course, along the way, they also met many students from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Everyone thought they were mistaken when they saw Hermione for the first time. Originally, apart from being relatively famous in her grade, Hermione was actually not very famous in the school, and many people did not know her.

Not until some time ago, after she officially established a relationship with Jerry. She was known throughout the entire other three houses mainly because she became Jerry's girlfriend.

Also, Jerry's secret admirer attacked Hermione with words and stares. But they dare not use magic.

One is that the school does not allow students to use magic to fight, and the other is that Hermione's strength has exceeded the level of normal students by a large margin under Jerry's training.

There was once a relatively strong seventh-grade student who wanted to jab Hermione with embarrassing magic, but she was stopped.

As for the others, Hermione is not always weak. Although she looks like a nerd, in fact, she is quite strong. Those people are basically nothing. This is also what Jerry sometimes admires about her. There are many things that Hermione can solve even if he doesn't need him.

When we came to the foyer, there were already a lot of students who were all dressed up. The dance doesn't start until eight o'clock, so the door of the hall is still closed.

However, everyone was not bored in the foyer. In addition to chatting to enhance their relationship, they also enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside the foyer that was arranged by the professors using magic.

The purpose of the Ministry of Magic's application through the Triwizard Tournament is not to win first place among the three schools but to achieve friendly exchanges between magic schools and promote the cooperation and development of the Ministry of Magic from various countries.

So this ball is held for the students from each school to get to know each other in this way and make good relationships in advance. Through the students who had gathered in the hallway, Jerry and Hermione came to the steps outside the hallway.

At this time, the lawn outside the entrance hall had disappeared, and it was replaced by a beautiful cave conjured by the professors with a Transfiguration spell.

Outside the cave are scattered snowflakes, and inside the cave are many statues of Santa Claus and reindeer, as well as beautiful rose bushes and long stone chairs prepared carefully.

"Jerry, look, there are some light fairies." Hermione pointed at the light fairies shining in the cave, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Jerry looked in the direction Hermione pointed and found that there were hundreds of fairies holding wands in the cave, emitting a faint light.

He knew that Hagrid had found it in the Forbidden Forest the other day. Fairies are magical animals with almost no danger. They are about the size of a human thumb but have almost the same body and appearance as a female human.

The only difference is the addition of a pair of insect-like wings that are as thin as a cicada, colorful, and beautiful. However, the intelligence of a fairy is not very high, and his magic power is also very low. The magic wand in their hand can only emit light and drive away their natural enemy.

"It will take a while to start. Let's go in and take a walk." Seeing that Hermione was very interested, Jerry pulled her over to the cave.

"Wait for us!" Harry and Ron in the back watched Jerry take Hermione to the cave and also pulled Ginny and Lavender to follow.

After walking around in the cave, it was finally eight o'clock. "Please come, students, with their dance partners."

The door of the Great Hall opened, and Professor McGonagall, wearing a red plaid robe and a hat decorated with a thistle garland, stepped out from inside and shouted to the students gathered in the foyer.

"See you later!" Saying hello to Harry and Ron, Jerry leads Hermione along with Krum and Fleur towards Professor McGonagall.

Krum danced with a seventh-grade girl from Slytherin, and Fleur danced with Ravenclaw Quidditch captain Roger Davies.

"Okay, you can come in!"

After leading the three to a specific position in the hall, Professor McGonagall began to let the students' wizards gathered in the foyer line up into the hall and sit down. The tradition of the Triwizard Ball is that the three contestants and their dance partners perform the opening first dance.

After Jerry stood with Hermione, he found that the hall had completely changed. The tables of the four houses in the hall were turned into something else. A small table with lanterns is full of various small snacks, and wines and beverages can be seen.

The middle of the hall was completely empty, and a starry night sky replaced the ceiling above it.

Instead of the professors' seats on the podium, a stage was set up, and this year's most popular rock band was on the stage. They were dressed in strange clothes armed with various musical instruments, they were ready for their musical performance.

The principals and referees were already sitting on the small tables nearby. Today, they are not the leaders of the school, just members of the prom.

"Now, we shall all start the dance."

After everyone was seated, Professor McGonagall waved at Jerry.
