"That's how it is, uh… Harley became Draco's dance partner," Kayson explained, looking at Snape, who appeared before him, seething with anger.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Snape asked.
"Sirius relayed it to me, and I relayed it to you," Kayson said.
"Uh… never mind? They are children after all, and Draco is a Slytherin after all," Snape sighed and murmured.
"What does this have to do with Slytherin? And do you have Parkinson's?" Kayson was a bit confused.
But he quickly dismissed it; he never liked to do such self-consuming things.
"So what are you going to do now?"
"...…Sleep?"
...
Time flew by, and Christmas arrived. Logically speaking, Christmas should be considered winter, but for some reason, Hogwarts always had a hint of hormones in the air.
Just like at this moment, Kayson looked at the gift by his bed…
Why would someone send him a whiskey mixed with a love potion?
He singled out this bottle of whiskey and decisively chose to turn it into nutrients for a nearby potted plant.
"Perfect. Hogwarts is still too dangerous." Kayson let out a long sigh, quickly washed up, and left his office.
The atmosphere in the Great Hall was also very different; every Little Wizards below was chattering, as if they had elementary school spring outing syndrome. He had no doubt they probably hadn't slept last night.
Because they were all too excited.
On the other side, the Professor's table was much calmer, because, well, compared to other magic schools and even workplaces, the proportion of happily married staff at Hogwarts was indeed too low.
This year, it was finally possible to pair up, and it was Dumbledore and Grindelwald, two old geezers. Who knows what kind of psychological trauma these two embracing each other on the dance floor would cause the other two magic schools.
Anyway, Kayson himself planned to help the House-elves from the dining hall ensure no food was left over in a small corner of the ball.
Cherishing food, a traditional virtue.
Soon, breakfast ended, and Kayson began his main job… a part-time job, teaching in the classroom.
However, looking at the excited Little Wizards below, he knew that no matter how much knowledge he taught them in this situation, they wouldn't listen. So, he decisively gave up.
It's not like taking an extra class would make one Nicolas Flamel, so what's the problem with resting for a class?
Kayson led the students through the large and small corridors of Hogwarts, performing various maintenance tasks on Alchemy rails and even Iron Golems.
Anyway, at this time, the Little Wizards couldn't learn any more knowledge, so let them do some work; there's nothing wrong with that.
Soon, evening arrived, and the entire Hogwarts had already lit the candles, chandeliers, and lighting magic in every room.
Kayson and Snape had already moved two small stools and sat in a corner of the Great Hall, and Lupin and Sirius did the same, including the Dragon Reserve's dragon trainers, as there were no peers of their age here to dance with them.
After all, you can't have an old cow eating young grass, or a small horse pulling a big cart.
As for why there were two corners…
Honestly, does Snape seem like a very popular person?
"It's about time, isn't it?" Snape suddenly asked.
Kayson pulled out a small clock from his pocket, but it didn't have time markings; instead, it had a dial for the sun and moon's rotation.
Emmmm…
"Never mind," Snape said, his mouth twitching as he looked at the clock in Kayson's hand, which was not much bigger than a pocket watch.
"Anyway, it should be soon… But Severus, do you never really smile?" Kayson put the clock back and said casually.
"Don't you think that's silly?" Snape asked.
"Not at all. I just think you're too gloomy. If you smiled… never mind, you'd better not smile," Kayson said, abruptly cutting himself off, because Snape was looking at a figure at the entrance of the Great Hall.
And the smile he saw on that figure, honestly, most people wouldn't praise it.
Kayson also looked over. The two champions of Hogwarts entered with their respective dance partners: Cedric and Cho Chang, Harley and… Draco.
"That's truly abstract," Kayson's lips curved into a faint smile.
"Draco, holding Harley's hand, was still shaking his head oddly, searching for others' positions."
"Speaking of which, it's strange, where's that scar-head? As a champion, shouldn't he be opening the ball? Did he desert?"
Harley next to him took a deep breath. At this moment, she absolutely had to keep her composure. She couldn't really lean on Draco's shoulder like a girlfriend and say, "Idiot Draco, could she?"
Although he was indeed quite idiotic, not realizing he had been gender-bent for so long. If it could continue, that would be perfect. Harry Potter just accidentally fell victim and slept in his dormitory for over a month, and Harley was just an apprentice Wizard experiencing life at Hogwarts.
Perfect.
Then… Professor McGonagall walked over briskly: "Harry… Malfoy, never mind. How's your dance practice going? We can't have any mishaps when opening the ball."
Draco's face flushed: "But isn't opening the ball the champion's duty?"
Professor McGonagall gave them a strange look and ignored Harley's pleading gaze: "Isn't Harley the champion?"
"Huh?" Not only Draco, but many more Little Wizards who didn't know the truth also let out confused sounds.
Originally, they only thought that Harry hadn't been in class for so long because he was accidentally injured or… well, they couldn't make up more. In fact, most Little Wizards had suspicions that Harley was Harry. magic, it's normal, not embarrassing.
The only embarrassing one was Draco, that boy who forgot his IQ when faced with beauty, whose eyes were blinded by beauty. He immediately disregarded everything, not even knowing where Harley, who seemed to have suddenly popped out of a rock, was from, and foolishly went for it.
This was truly a Slytherin charm moment; daring to think and daring to act, though this trait should logically belong to Gryffindor.
