Chapter 197：

The Weird Sisters stopped playing one song and started playing another one.

Padma invited John to dance, but John was bumped by Daphne just now, and his chest felt tight and painful, so he declined.

He refused so gracefully that Padma didn't feel much emotion.

Soon a Beauxbatons boy invited her to dance.

John rubbed his chest, the air here was a bit stuffy.

Mainly due to the excessive use of mental magic and fatigue after dancing, the various emotions of the students are now as conspicuous as neon lights in front of his eyes.

Looking in the direction of Dumbledore, he had already separated from Ms. Maxim. Hagrid took the opportunity to go over and invite Ms. Maxim.

Hagrid's body was full of joy, but also nervousness and shyness.

Ms. Maxim also has a little favorable impression, but not much. Heger still has to keep working hard.

Dumbledore...can't tell.

His own abilities still have limitations when dealing with people with Occlumency. Dumbledore appears to be kind, but in reality he is indifferent to emotions and anger.

Karkaroff is not here, he probably ran out.

John looked over one by one and landed on Moody.

After Moody finished dancing, he sat aside and listened to the rhythm, still holding the exquisite wine bottle in his hand.

"Occlumency?"

I can see a hint of joy in Moody, it's so shallow that you can't see it clearly unless you look carefully.

He also used Occlumency. Considering that Moody is a 'PTSD' patient, it seems to make sense.

There was nothing special about the others. Even Professor McGonagall was very happy and even wanted to make Old Barty dance.

"Let's go out for a walk."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Heinrich, who was showing his impatience, while the silver mask opposite him, who was speaking seriously, was showing a mischievous mood.

Percy answered sternly, and the three of them stood casually.

Kim and Percy were talking about the entrance and exit of the new tent, and deliberately asked Heinrich to stand there as a waiter.

"I hope he won't negotiate any earth-shattering business for me."

Shaking his head, John left the dance.

As soon as he left, Ron and Harry were sitting at the same table.

The two were worthy of being brothers. Harry's dance partner Parvati couldn't stand his neglect, so she turned around and left with another Beauxbatons boy.

"Victor went to get a drink."

Hermione took advantage of Krum's time to get drinks and came over to care about her two sons.

Unexpectedly, Ron's sour words arose.

"Victor? Didn't he ask you to call him Vicky?"

Because of Krum's pronunciation problem, Hermione is always called 'Hermine'.

To others, it sounds like a term of endearment between lovers.

"Sour, too sour."

Crabbe, who was eating fruit, had his face scrunched up. He looked at the apple in his hand in confusion as to why there was something sour and red.

Or is the red one inherently sour?

In the end, Ron made some sarcastic remarks, saying that being with Krum was surrendering to the enemy. Krum approached you to dig up information. He must want to use your hand to unlock the secret of the golden egg or something.

Hermione was so angry that she simply ignored the two sons. Even though she didn't invite the idiot herself, she still had to accuse her of various crimes.

Ron was so dissatisfied with Krum now that he completely forgot that he once said that he would rather give Klum his bed and sleep on the sofa himself.

…

The atmosphere inside was lively, but outside it was deserted, with a layer of white snow falling on the bushes on the ground.

In the rose garden, after John walked out, he thought he could stay away from those neon lights, but he still underestimated the students in the school.

He walked through a rose bush, and three black lines appeared on his forehead.

From his perspective, the flowers are filled with ambiguity and love.

"Can't you young lovers wait until you graduate to fall in love?"

He was speechless. In his previous life, at this age, he was still studying hard questions. It would be better for you to make love here.

Snape really should have caught him.

As he said that, John felt a wave of fear coming from him.

He followed this feeling and saw an unexpected figure.

"Severus, you can't pretend that none of this happened!" Karkaroff's voice was hoarse, but he was afraid of being heard, so he lowered his voice.

"Over the months, it became more and more obvious."

"I'm very worried now, I can't deny it..."

"Then run away." Completely different from Karkaroff's behavior, Snape looked impatient.

John tried to read Snape's emotions, but the master of Occlumency couldn't read it that easily.

After several attempts, John could only read Snape's displayed emotions.

"It's not a secret that Karkaroff is a Death Eater."

John is on the same line as Old Barty, so he naturally knows what Karkaroff did before.

Looking at Karkaroff's panic, he is very afraid of the Dark Mark.

"That's right. After all, he was merciless and sold all the Death Eaters. If Voldemort really comes back, he will be the first to be afraid."

Voldemort hates traitors more than his opponents.

This allowed John to rule out the suspicion that Karkaroff might have confused the Goblet of Fire.

Turning to leave, John stopped and saw two heads popping up in the other direction.

Ignore it and walk in another direction.

He tried his best to choose a place with few people, but he still encountered people.

This time it’s Hagrid and Ms. Maxim.

The two people walking on the road were too conspicuous.

When they were tired from walking, the two of them sat on the stone bench to rest.

Hagrid's shyness became even more intense. John wanted to leave, but he saw another guy.

Inquiry, curiosity, greed, excitement.

It's Rita.

John couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Through meditation, John knew that Rita originally wanted to dig up some powerful information.

As a result, after digging around, they found Hagrid again.

As it happens, Hagrid is still a man who can't keep his mouth shut.

"As soon as I saw you, I understood."

Ms. Maxim showed displeasure: "What do you understand?"

Hagrid looked at Ms. Maxim, "I understand. I understand that you are the same as me. Are you your father or your mother?"

John saw Ms. Maxim's displeasure turning into anger, and the insect transformed by Rita trembled, looking very excited.

"Forget it, I really wonder if Hagrid drank Veritaserum to quench his thirst when he was a child."

Seeing that Hagrid was about to tell the secret, John sighed helplessly.

He deliberately made a noise for everyone to hear.

Hagrid wanted to ask Ms. Maxim if she was a hybrid giant, but he immediately turned his head when he heard the noise.

John walked out of it with a polite smile on his face.

"Sorry, Hagrid, Ms. Maxim, am I disturbing you?"

Hagrid still had courage when he was with Ms. Maxim, but when there was one more person, he immediately lost it.

Even though he is old, he is still an innocent boy.

Hagrid, Ms. Maxim will eat you up if you do this.

From John's perspective, Hagrid's emotions were like a revolving door, changing in various ways.

Glancing at Rita vaguely, John was like a big bright light bulb.

Everyone wants him to go away, but he doesn't.

He smiled warmly and said: "Ms. Maxim, I just saw Fleur being taken by a boy to the rose bush not far away."

"What!" Ms. Maxim was originally angry because of Hagrid. After hearing this, she stood up and left. She directly transformed into a female Titan and angrily went to find the Hogwarts pig digging her own cabbage.

Hagrid stretched out his hand to hold him back but did not stop him.

He sat down in frustration, and John saw anger coming from behind the reindeer.

It was Harry and Ron, probably because they were angry at John and Hagrid for finally having a date.

Ignoring these two idiots, John walked to Rita calmly.

Just as Rita was trying to dress herself up as a bug, John flicked Rita away with a flick of his finger.

With so much force in this finger, Rita was probably dizzy.

After doing all this, John looked at Hagrid, who lowered his head in disappointment.

John leaned over and whispered: "Hagrid, it's better not to say some things."

"What?" Hagrid looked confused.

John asked back: "What did you want to ask just now?"

"I just want to know which of her parents is a giant." Hagrid looked innocent.

John rubbed his brows irritably and said, "You should ask about such a private matter when we first meet. You also know that mixed-races are discriminated against in the magical world, just like werewolves. Even with wolfsbane potion, they are still discriminated against in many places. ”

Hagrid seemed to finally understand the seriousness of the matter. He turned pale and tried to say that he didn't think so much.

"Ms. Maxim hates people talking about this matter. If you like her, don't mention it in your life."

John used a semi-threatening tone, and Hagrid nodded hastily.

He also knew that he was wrong, and he almost revealed the most annoying part of Ms. Maxim.

Fortunately, John showed up in time.

For this, he was very grateful.

The reindeer queen's anger disappeared, and it was clear that they had heard it too.

Knowing that they had wrongly blamed John, the two people left in despair.

…

Chapter 222 The crybaby and the traitor

The dance ended at twelve o'clock at midnight.

As the Christmas vacation begins, John's life becomes boring.

He only has one thing to do, and that is to take care of his injuries.

The sequelae of psychic magic are greater than he thought.

For example, right now, he is crying and sitting there with no love left.

"This **** empathy is making me sentimental."
