Chapter 524 Dress Robe

On the night before Christmas, the castle had a heavy snowfall, which was very timely. Snowflakes fell on the castle and the grounds, adding some special embellishments.

A thick layer of ice formed on the Black Lake, and the big ship of Durmstrang was also frozen, flashing in the sun, and a layer of crystal white frost hung on the sail ropes... It looked much better than before.

Christmas breakfast was hot stew and delicious pudding. Although it was a holiday, there were no fewer people in the castle, and the hall was still as crowded as before.

"The food at Hogwarts is too greasy." Fleur put a few corn cakes and boiled potatoes on her plate, and complained quietly: "I feel like my dress robe is about to be too big to wear."

Kyle ate the stew on his plate calmly without saying a word... After all, he had heard similar words many times recently.

Sometimes Kyle even suspected that even if he served Fleur a plate of leaves, she might find it greasy.

But Connor next to her seemed to take it seriously. She looked at the food on Fleur's plate, which was enough for an owl to eat, and compared it with the full bowl of stew she had just brought in front of her. After hesitating for a moment, she put it back on the table with difficulty.

"It's okay, just eat it."

Kyle pushed the bowl back casually, "When you grow taller next year, you will definitely have to change your current dress robes. Then you can buy new ones."

"No." Connor shook her head and whispered, "Only today..."

Then she also took some tortillas.

At this time, Fleur seemed to realize something, turned her head and stared at Kyle, and said in a bad tone: "Do you mean that I won't grow taller?"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that... You said it yourself." Kyle shrugged and pretended to deny it, which made Fleur very angry.

After dinner, they returned to the Hufflepuff common room and began to open their Christmas gifts.

Fleur's gifts were also delivered here, and piled up into a small mountain in the corner of the lounge, but she only picked out a few of them, and the rest were all packed in a box and sent back to Beauxbatons' carriage.

They stayed in the common room for the whole morning, sorting out the Christmas gifts they received, and then they all returned to the hall to enjoy a hearty lunch.

The house elves in the kitchen made a new snack this time, Cribbage Wizard Shortbread Cookies... The sound was really crisp, and every bite was like a firework in the hall, with crackling sounds everywhere, which was very lively.

Finally, the time came to the afternoon, and just at six o'clock, Kanna immediately jumped up from her chair and went back to the dormitory to prepare for the dance.

Not only Kanna, after six o'clock, there was no girl in the common room.

"Two hours... just to change clothes, do they need so much time?" Mikkel said he couldn't understand.

At seven o'clock, the sky gradually darkened, and Kyle stopped playing wizard chess with Cedric. They returned to the dormitory and changed into their respective dress robes.

...

At half past seven, everyone came out of the dormitory one after another. The common room looked strange. The people inside were no longer all wearing school uniforms, but colorful ones...

Mikel changed into a navy blue dress robe, which looked much more mature than before, and Ryan's was burgundy.

As soon as the two walked out of the dormitory, they slapped the table fiercely, attracting the attention of the people around them.

"Girls..." Ryan said with a smile, "You definitely don't know what you missed..."

"If you mean yourself..." Hannah looked Ryan up and down, and couldn't help but teasing: "Then, I don't think I missed anything."

"Hey, don't say that," Susan Burns pushed her friend and couldn't help laughing: "He is my dance partner, give him some face."

"Thank you for your affirmation, Hannah..." Ryan said unhappily, "But I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not talking about myself, but... Oh, he's here."

Everyone followed his gaze.

So, Kyle, who had just walked out of the dormitory, saw this strange scene in front of him... Almost everyone in the public lounge was staring at him.

"What are you doing..." Kyle looked down at his dress robe in confusion, "Did I wear the dress robe wrong? No."

"Oh..." Susan couldn't help but take a breath, and then pulled the arm of her friend next to her, "Hannah, do you think it's too late for me to change my dance partner now?"

But Hannah didn't answer, she was looking at Kyle like everyone else.

For most Hufflepuff students, this was the first time they saw Kyle wearing something other than a school uniform.

A black velvet dress robe with a simple pattern of gold thread at the collar and cuffs... It was obviously a normal dress robe, but somehow, it made Kyle's temperament instantly different from before.

"I'm so envious..." Susan sighed, "I wonder who Kyle's dance partner will be..."

"Do I need to think about it?" Ryan walked over.

But before he could speak, a voice came from behind them.

"Have you all changed?"

"Oh..."

There was another gasp in the lounge.

"I think I know who you're talking about." Susan looked at Connor behind her and couldn't help saying, "She's so beautiful..."

Connor seemed to have really listened to Professor McGonagall's advice. She didn't use a headband anymore, but carefully braided her hair into a simple bun.

The loose school uniform was also replaced with an apricot-yellow robe. She didn't have any extra accessories, but she didn't need them. Just like this, she was beautiful enough to make people unable to take their eyes off her.

"Why are you all looking at me..." Connor lowered her head, "Am I wearing the wrong clothes?"

"Oh, I'm more sure they are dance partners." Susan muttered softly.

"Don't worry, they're not." Kyle walked over, "You're very... well, very beautiful."

"Thank you..." Connor whispered, "Are we going to the auditorium now? Let's wait for Cedric, he doesn't seem to be out yet."

"Let's go to the auditorium first." Kyle said, "Professor McGonagall told us that we have to go in advance."

"Okay." Connor smiled and nodded, and then the two walked through the barrel door together and walked towards the auditorium.

"They are a perfect match." Hannah couldn't help but say.

"Who said they weren't?" Mikel smiled.
