Chapter 1396： snowy christmas ball

  Chapter 1396 Ice and Snow Christmas Ball

  Compared with home, the Christmas atmosphere at the headquarters of the association is indeed stronger.

   There are so many people, there is nothing wrong with it.

   But what about this Christmas tree?

  Looking at this weird Christmas tree, Albert was quite speechless.

   Some kind of performance art?

   Or did someone use the Transfiguration spell to transform into a Christmas tree, and ended up looking like this?

   Albert really guessed right, this tree was indeed created by several members of the association who are good at deformation using deformation magic.

  It's a pity that they are obviously trying it for the first time, so they come up with such a weird Christmas tree.

What surprised Albert the most was the igloo that Fred and George led people to cut out of ice and snow in the open space of the village. They also used the traceless stretching spell to expand the space inside the igloo countless times, so as to Plenty of room for a Yule Ball venue.

   "The idea is good, but the hands-on ability is a bit bad."

Albert took out his wand, waved it at the weird Christmas tree, and made the Christmas tree normal. He seemed to feel that there was still something missing, so he took out a non-traceable stretch bag from his robe pocket, and prepared the Christmas tree for the members of the association. Presents are piled up under the Christmas tree.

   "Well, it looks much more comfortable this way."

   Albert put away the traceless stretch bag, looked at the Christmas tree full of presents, and nodded with satisfaction.

   "You actually prepared so many Christmas presents?"

  George appeared next to Albert at some point. He bent down to pick up a package and asked, "What's the gift?"

   "Foreign desserts." Albert nodded towards the Christmas gift and said, "Take it apart and have a look, one for each, but I can't guarantee that you will all like it."

"Dessert, it's not bad. In fact, we have prepared some. If you don't receive a gift for Christmas, it will be somewhat disappointing." George put the Christmas gift in his hand back into the gift pile, planning to wait a while Share it with everyone.

   Albert was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "School and shelter, are you ready?"

   "Ready." George explained, "Sanna treats everyone equally, so that the cohesion of the members of the association can be better enhanced."

   "Very good." Albert was very pleased. It seemed that they had grown a lot without knowing it.

"It costs a lot of money, though, so we used some random Easter egg inspiration to make a batch of random Christmas gift boxes full of joke props we made!" George said, pulling out a non-traceable stretch bag He was going to hand it to Albert. Originally, he planned to put the Christmas gift in the package under the tree, but he didn't expect Albert to take the lead.

   "You take it yourself, and share it with everyone along with the Christmas presents under the tree later." Albert left after a while, but he didn't have time to distribute gifts to everyone.

"All right."

  George was just about to put the non-marking stretch bag back into his pocket, as if thinking of something, he reached out and took out a Christmas present from the bag and handed it to Albert.

   "This is a Christmas present specially chosen by me and Fred for you."

   "Can I take it apart on the spot?"

   Albert took the gift, and was a little surprised that he received the gift at this time.

"certainly."

"I said don't be lazy... Albert, when did you come? Everyone was still discussing whether you will come over for Christmas together." After greeting Albert, Shanna urged George not to be lazy , Hurry up to level the ground of the igloo, and spread the carpet by the way.

   As for the carpet, it is naturally created by magic.

   "Is this a record?"

   "I guess you haven't heard a lot of famous music, and those records are here." George said proudly, "It took me and Fred quite a while to get these records."

   "You just give me a gift." Shanna couldn't help complaining.

   "Gifts, as long as they are sincere." George also felt that Albert would lack something.

   "I really haven't heard many songs yet." Albert smiled and put away the gift.

   "Okay, go and finish your work first, otherwise we may not be able to hold a Christmas ball tonight."

  After Shanna drove George to work, she turned to Albert and talked about the Christmas ball.

   "I was going to tell you about this... You know, you made them sad for a long time last time you took their prey."

   "I didn't rob their prey." Albert corrected: "I found the Nether Corpse's lair, so that's not called robbing. They just lost a chance to practice."

   "Experience, all right!" Shanna didn't pay much attention, and said suddenly, "I've already prepared your Christmas present, and I'll bring it to you later."

   "Today is full of surprises." Albert looked away from Shanna, and asked, "How are you getting ready for the dance?"

   "It should be ready at noon." Qiu Zhang and Angelina walked towards this side, looked Albert up and down and asked, "Are you going to stay for the Christmas ball later?"

   "It depends on the situation, but I probably won't stay and dance."

"Why?"

   "I don't like dancing very much." Albert changed the topic and said, "However, the number of girls in the association is a bit small."

   "Yes, girls are all in demand." Qiu Zhang looked at Shanna and joked with a smile.

   "Why not invite the girls in the asylum to the ball?" Angelina suggested.

   "Underage wizards carry traces on their bodies, we can't take any risks, you know."

"sorry, I…"

   "It seems that the recent success has made you all relax your vigilance." Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not a good thing. Don't fall down before you succeed."

   "You are too strict, Albert." Lee Jordan put his hand on Albert's shoulder, "If you are free, help strengthen the igloo. I am a little worried that this **** will suddenly collapse."

   "It's not that bad, as long as you don't mess around."

  Ebert finally used magic to help strengthen the igloo slightly so that it could last until the end of this winter.

  With the help of Albert, the preparations for the dance speeded up a lot.

The igloo was cast in Albert's spell, and it was gradually frozen with thick ice, and a beautiful ice cone was born, and a cold blue flame burned on it, which reminded many people of the Triwizard Tournament. That Yule Ball.

   No, it should be said that they imitated the Christmas banquet at Hogwarts that year.

   "Look, I just asked Albert to help, and it will be done soon!" Lee Jordan said to several people around him.

   "You used me like a coolie." Albert said angrily.

"It's called hard work for those who can, anyway, it's a piece of cake for you." Fred looked at the more refined ballroom, nodded in satisfaction and said, "If you count on them, they will probably be busy until tonight It’s not necessarily possible to have a dance.”

   This is actually true, everyone's efficiency is really not high.

   "It can only be said that your tacit understanding needs to be improved, and you need to practice more." Albert reminded, "The students in the shelter can do a lot better than you in terms of using magic to solve life's troubles."

   At the end of the day, Albert still waved his wand to help them take care of the rest. For him, it was just a matter of waving his wand.

  Although letting them do it by themselves can get exercise, but considering that today is Christmas, it’s okay to think about it, so that they can have a happy Christmas.

  Half an hour before the start of the ball, both the men and the girls dressed up a little, and put on rare suits and dresses.

   Albert looked at Shanna who was changing her dress, and asked with a frown, "Where did you get these things?"

"A few days ago, after we decided to hold a dance party, we secretly got it from home at night, and used the flying spell, you know it's not too difficult." Shanna pulled her dress and muttered, "It's just that the clothes don't fit well. gone."

   "It means you have grown taller."

   "Are you sure you don't want to stay and dance?" Shanna noticed that Albert hadn't changed his clothes.

   "No, you know, I don't actually like dancing."

   Albert watched Dobby holding the wand and placing food and drinks on the table, so he got up and went to help.

   Nearly half an hour later, there was a sudden commotion outside the igloo. People came in in twos and threes, as if everyone had made an agreement in advance.

   After people took their seats, it gradually became quiet, because Albert stood up, and everyone looked at him sideways.

   "You should have noticed that I have prepared Christmas presents for you." Albert pointed to the pile of packages on the Christmas tree, "One for each, and one for you at George's."

   "I know you can't wait, Merry Christmas!"

   As he spoke, Albert raised his glass.

"Merry Christmas!"

  Everyone raised their glasses.

  In the soft and soothing music, the banquet began.

   The food on the table is not rich, and some of them are even bought directly from Muggle shops.

   This was Shanna's idea.

   After all, they prepared in a hurry, and they didn't have enough people to cook the food. Dobby would definitely not be able to keep up.

   Also, Muggle food is well-received.

  Looking at the couples dancing to the music, Shanna told Albert that Cedric and Qiu Zhang planned to get married after the wizarding war ended.

   "This..." Albert was speechless.

  This flag is standing, do you think you didn't die fast enough?

   "What's wrong?"

   Noticing that Albert frowned, Shanna asked suspiciously.

   "It's not good to set up a flag."

  Set up a flag?

  Sanna looked stunned.

   "There was a soldier who went to the front and told his fiancée that I would definitely come back to marry you, but he died on the battlefield." Albert casually cited a case.

   "I didn't expect you to care about such a thing."

   "That's really not good."

   "Okay, I will mention this to them." Shanna nodded and continued to chat about the topic just now, pointing out to Albert several couples that appeared in the association.

  Many girls have found a boyfriend for themselves.

After noticing Albert's gaze, Shanna shrugged and said, "Lee Jordan is actually... we are not suitable, many wizard families actually care about this matter, and I also think it is inappropriate to fall in love at this time, At least until the end of the war..."

   "If marriage is not the goal, it will be difficult for many couples to join hands until the end."

   Albert thought of Neville and Luna.

   Many readers thought they would end up together, and it turned out…

   "Are you and Isobel the same? I mean marriage."

   "I guess."

   "It's really enviable." Shanna said softly, looking at the dancing couples on the stage.

   "It mainly depends on what you want." Albert shook his head and said, "Who can tell clearly about love?"

   "By the way, I will go to other places later, and I will leave it to you here."
