Chapter 249 An Unprecedented Opening Dance

Harry stared at Aphrodite's beautiful neck and collarbone, and suddenly his mouth felt dry.

He unconsciously adjusted his bow-tied collar, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms.

"She is so beautiful." said an unknown boy.

Harry swallowed, looked at Afro who was getting closer and closer, and nodded in agreement.

It was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that he was at a loss for words.

"Your Highness, the beautiful princess." Cedric put his left hand behind his back, took Aphrodite's with his right hand, bent down and left a kiss on the back of her hand.

"Please allow me to present you with my gift." He did not let go of Afro's hand, but took out a small square box from his pocket.

Cedric opened the lid with one hand, revealing a bracelet with pearls and diamonds.

As he put it on Aphrodite, he said to her, "Merry Christmas, my princess."

Harry followed suit, kissing her hand reverently before taking out his own gift.

I don’t know how they chose them, but they all happened to match her decoration today.

Harry's were a pair of baroque pearl earrings, which, although exaggerated, were nothing compared to her exaggerated dress.

Maybe it was because he was nervous or something, but it took Harry some time to put it on Aphrodite's earlobe.

"Does it look good?" Afro couldn't see, so he raised his hand to touch the earrings, and then asked the two boys in front of him.

"Yeah, very beautiful." Cedric's voice was a little hoarse than usual.

Soon, all the attention on Aphrodite was taken away by the sudden appearance of Hermione, because a girl who usually did not attract much attention turned out to be so beautiful and entered the venue with such a famous celebrity.

The teenagers standing in the crowd who did not invite Afro looked at Afro depressedly as she walked into the hall holding a boy's hand.

When Professor McGonagall saw the last three people who entered the venue, she suddenly felt overwhelmed. She had never seen such a situation before!

Dumbledore clapped his hands with a smile on his face, signaling the orchestra to begin playing.

Within two minutes, people noticed that there were three warriors dancing hand in hand in the opening dance.

Harry put his arm around Afro's waist, Cedric put his arm around her shoulders, and the two of them took her around in a circle in the middle of the dance floor.

The huge crinoline stood between the three of them, and Afro saw that Harry was hit on the waist by the crinoline several times.

Cedric, who was a good dancer, had to carefully avoid the hem of her swaying skirt to avoid stepping on it.

The song finally ended, and all the candles in the hall were extinguished, leaving only the enchanted ceiling emitting a faint blue light.

After Afro turned around following Cedric's movements, the person holding her waist changed.

"Hey, where's Sayid?"

Draco was dissatisfied and exerted a little force on his hands, pressing her towards him, "Now is my time, you are not allowed to think about others!"

"Oh~ You are so domineering!" Afro felt the strength on her waist. Even though she knew Draco was jealous, she still couldn't help but teasing him.

Draco didn't respond to her, but just put his arms around her waist, lifted her up and turned her around.

Afro exclaimed, gripping his neck tightly and whispering in his ear, "But I like it."

Draco was impressed by the straightforward flirting.

"what do you like?"

“I like you!”

As soon as Afro finished speaking, Draco hooked his arm around her waist and spun her around in a circle.

After a few circles, Afro felt like a wandering ball, dizzy and disoriented.

Draco pulled the somewhat tired Afro away from the dance floor and sat down at a round table.

"Here, a gift for you."

Afro stared dumbfoundedly at the large square box that was handed to her, not knowing where Draco had taken it out from.

Seeing that she was not moving, Draco opened the box directly.

A crown inlaid with large round pearls. The pearls hung on the diamond arch will sway gently with the movement, crystal clear and intoxicating.

"Did you discuss this?"

Once again receiving a similar set of jewelry, Afro couldn't help but suspect that these were something they had discussed in advance.

"That's about right." Draco held up the crown with both hands and placed it in her hair devoutly. "After all, it's our first Christmas together, so of course there has to be a sense of ceremony."

He calmly glanced at the earrings on the girl's ears and the bracelet on her wrist. They were not ordinary styles and should have been designed by herself like him.

Afro looked at the brooch and cufflinks on his collar and said jokingly, "If we talk about reciprocity, there won't be much room left for decoration on your body."

However, Draco whispered something in her ear, causing Afro to blush and distance themselves from him.

(The dance is based on the square dance in the movie Alice in Wonderland 1 and the dance with the prince in Cinderella. The pearl crown is based on Princess Diana's Pearl Tears Crown, also called the Lover's Knot Crown, which is very beautiful...)
