"You, you, you....."
Draco looked at Harry in horror...
"You're Scarhead Potter!"
Harley looked at Draco, who seemed about to be scared to death, and pursed her lips with some pity. Then she brushed aside her hair, which had rapidly grown long after she drank the gender-changing potion. After sweeping her bangs away, a lightning bolt scar remained there.
At that moment, Draco's expression was incredibly spectacular, like Gintoki Sakata seeing an old woman lying next to him, plus fifty percent of a Fire Punch expression.
"Huh?" Draco gasped sharply, about to pass out, but Harley, quick as a flash, elbowed him in the chest, bringing him back to consciousness.
"What exactly do you want... You truly have a heart of stone, to go this far for a prank. I admit defeat." Draco looked at Harley with a resistant expression. He now knew the truth behind that bright face and naturally couldn't look directly at her anymore.
"I want to say, if you two have any personal grievances, can you resolve them slowly after this? Right now, students and Principals from the other two schools are here. Maintain your composure and don't disgrace Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall reminded them.
"Alright, Professor." Draco's lips curled into a strange, disgusted arc, and his eyes instinctively showed revulsion. He stiffened and took Harley's hand.
"Don't make that face. Wasn't it your choice?" Harley said, frowning.
"If I knew it was you, do you think I would have invited you... And why didn't you refuse me!" Draco whispered.
Harley's expression instantly became a bit strange, but he couldn't directly say he was afraid Snape coveted his beauty, so he changed his explanation: "I was afraid you'd be lonely without a partner at the Yule Ball! Is that okay?!"
Draco tutted, "Well, thank you very much then. You smell quite good, actually? What perfume are you wearing?"
"Shut up, you're a bit too disgusting!" Harley snapped.
As the ball was opened by the champions and their respective partners, Kayson also began to quietly attack the snacks on the table in the corner.
"Eat less. They all have Polyjuice Potion antidote in them. Although the amount is very low, you'll still have problems if you eat so much," Snape reminded him in a low voice.
"I'm not disguised by Polyjuice Potion, what do I have to fear?" Kayson said.
"Normal people who take Polyjuice Potion antidote will become disoriented. You'll have to watch those abnormal people later," Snape explained.
"OK... Hmm... Is everyone here?" Kayson asked.
"The Dragon Reserve's dragon trainers, the other two schools, Ludo Bagman... Barty Crouch isn't here, Percy Weasley is here in his place," Snape said cryptically.
"So, if nothing happens today, then that 'nail' could be Barty Crouch," Kayson whispered.
"Although it's a bit hasty, given the methods and information we currently have, we can only conclude it's him."
"Alright... Oh, by the way, I'll eat less and act as a human monitor. What are you doing?" Kayson suddenly asked.
"I'm watching Li... I'm watching everyone," Snape said, correcting himself mid-sentence.
"Did you just say something strange? I didn't quite hear it."
"I had phlegm in my throat, don't worry about it."
"Oh... Alright, I hope so."
Kayson continued to watch the Little Wizards on the dance floor. Hermione and Ron were quietly dancing there. Well, they weren't dancing quietly; basically, Ron would make a mistake in his steps and accidentally step on Hermione, who would then get angry and step back on him.
The two of them would loudly step on each other while genuinely laughing and looking at each other.
"Ah, the stench of love," Kayson said, propping his elbow on the table and resting his face on the back of his hand.
He watched for a while, when suddenly Snape beside him asked, "Has no Little Wizards invited you to dance?"
"Huh? I'm almost thirty. The oldest Little Wizards in school is more than a whole cycle younger than me. How can I accept? Isn't it fine to just sit here?" Kayson said with a shrug.
"Heh... Look at that old dog over there, who's already in his thirties. Isn't he dancing happily with a Little Wizards?" Snape sneered, looking at Sirius, who was dancing with a Beauxbatons Little Wizards not far away.
"Different personalities, I guess," Kayson said with a shrug.
Soon, as the first dance ended, the number of people on the dance floor gradually decreased. Dancing was, after all, physically demanding, and dancing the entire time was too abstract for them.
People began to find their friends or empty seats and started to enjoy the refreshments.
Of course, there were also a few Little Wizards with very heavy idol burdens, including Little Witches wearing corsets and Little Wizards wearing body shapers. When they didn't eat to maintain a good figure, the House-elves, who had been informed in advance, would appear with a pop in front of them, bringing a cup of warm water with the antidote added.
"Any unusual movements... Nothing here for me... You... Can you stop staring at Harley? I feel like you're about to pull out your wand and kill someone," Kayson said somewhat helplessly.
"I have no intention of killing anyone, and I haven't seen anything. Where are your two friends? Black and Lupin?" Snape said.
"Unfortunately, no problems either. Are you very disappointed?" Sirius suddenly appeared beside Kayson and said slowly.
"Indeed, very disappointed," Snape said solemnly.
"And I advise you to stop having ideas about Harley, don't you agree?" Sirius continued.
"I don't have such a Hobbies, don't assume everyone is like you, a pervert dancing with minors," Snape scoffed.
"Hmph, I was invited, unlike you," Sirius retorted.
"Suit yourself. Since no one here is a problem, let's focus on Barty Crouch next," Snape snorted.
"You're still so strange. The same after all these years," Sirius said, not letting up with his words.
"You two are grown men, can you stop with this trash talk? If you have a grudge, go to the Forbidden Forest and beat each other's dog brains out," Kayson complained impolitely.
"Hmph, back then it was three against one and I was counter-killed. Now? Heh." Snape sneered and stood up: "Forbidden Forest?"
"Let's go," Sirius said, not to be outdone.
Kayson and Lupin, seeing the two who were already planning a real-life PK, helplessly followed.
Then they saw a strange figure in the Dragon Reserve camp in the Forbidden Forest.
It looked like... Nios.
