Ballroom dancing is a compulsory course for Slytherin, and dancing the right dance gracefully on the right occasion is also a compulsory content. Compared to Gryffindors who spend their free time having fun, Slytherins are always busy with various interpersonal interactions.
Noah was dragged into a lot of invitations when he was in the first grade, but after he became famous in the second grade, he had the right to refuse these invitations. Later, Noah stopped attending those private gatherings and would only go when Slytherin held public events on holidays, but there was also the necessary social interaction. At first, he needed Eve to guide him, but later he was completely on his own. He always learned quickly, and this was naturally the case.
So there is nothing wrong with dancing.
Not long after they danced, other people entered the dance floor one after another, including the professor.
After the dance, Noah and Eve left the stage. They looked at each other and tacitly hid at the edge of the crowd. As it happened, neither of them had much interest in dancing, and neither did the party. So the two of them appeared directly at the table with snacks and drinks, each picked a drink and found a seat to sit down.
"Why did you provoke that Miss Gryffindor again?" Eve asked for a topic.
"Don't tell me, I seem to be very good at causing trouble." Noah was speechless, "It was obviously her who lost her temper at me."
"Huh?" Eve pondered for a second and nodded, "You are right, she is a guy with a bad mind."
She was polite enough not to reveal Hermione's true image in her heart. After all, using the word "crazy girl" was a bit too rude. In fact, from Slytherin's point of view, those guys who bite them non-stop and have extremely average strength are all mentally ill.
Noah: "..." After all, it's good to learn. In the original book, one person drags two people into the pit to fight against the Death Eaters.
But he wisely said nothing.
Fortunately, Eve wasn't too interested in this and quickly changed the subject: "How on earth did you tame a fire dragon before?"
"Because fire dragons are also beasts." Noah said casually, "The taming method for most beasts is the same, sticks and candy."
But he only had time to show the stick, and the fire dragon retreated of its own accord.
"Sounds so cold," Eve commented, "sticks and sugar."
She drank the drink in her hand as if her throat was parched, and asked in a low voice: "Does this also work on people?"
Noah turned his head and looked at her: "...Yes."
It is also possible to tame humans. Speaking of which, isn't that what Voldemort did? But just like Noah tamed the dragon, he only gave him the rod.
Noah's eyes fell on Eve again. This kind of question is asked, is Eve the same?
Sure enough, shouldn't the first step to peeling off Obscurus be to get rid of Rebnold first? Noah thought of Rebnold's expression when he left that day. That wizard was not the type to give up easily.
"At that time, weren't you afraid of the dragon biting you? How did you guarantee that you would tame it?" Eve still remembered that in the end, it seemed that Noah took the initiative to unlock the spell of the chain.
"The eyes," Noah said, "you can tell in the eyes."
He is able to distinguish between good intentions and hostility. That is the blessing from Qilin, the ability to clearly distinguish a person's thoughts and good and evil. Just like Eve at this moment, she was like a big black thing in his eyes.
"Really?" Eve turned her head and looked at him, "But for nobles, managing expressions and eyes is also a compulsory course."
Noah met her eyes and saw something as dark as mist in those blue eyes. Speaking of which, Eve's eyes were darker than any blue eyes he had ever seen, a deep blue like the sky on the other side when dawn fell, like the last struggle of the night, like the eve of dawn. .
She was also trying to struggle, and now she saw hope of breaking free.
The corner of Noah's mouth curved: "Yes, so when using it on humans, you have to worry about backlash."
He rarely smiled, but he was indeed happy at the moment.
Eve was stunned for a few seconds because of his smile: "So you can laugh."
Noah: “…”
Noah suppressed his smile, pretending that nothing happened just now.
"Have you finished the book about Obscurus?" Eve asked.
"Of course," Noah nodded, "I also learned some very interesting content."
Eve nodded and did not ask further: "When do you plan to go back? Tomorrow?"
Noah frowned, seeming a little distressed: "Yes, I have to go back tomorrow."
…
When Noah got on the bus, he was still worried about how to explain it to his parents when he got home later.
In his first game, his parents were actually present, but Christina exploded when she saw the Fire Dragon on the stage. Fortunately, Cooper used little Charlotte to attract Christina's attention in time, and after a few comforts, he let her go. The game went off without a hitch.
That night, Noah received a magic mirror contact from home. Although he easily subdued the fire dragon with his strength, Christina was still very worried. After confirming that Noah was not injured, she loudly rebuked the Triwizard Tournament. In the competition events, even Principal Dumbledore was severely criticized for several mistakes.
Later, Christina tried to persuade Noah to give up the game, but was interrupted by Cooper before she could finish her words. Once the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament are selected, they have signed an unbreakable contract, which must be completed.
Christina knew this too, she was just struggling.
The first project directly faced the fire dragon. Who knew how dangerous the second and third projects would be. She didn't want to expose Noah to these dangers.
However, Cooper's attitude in the magic mirror was good, and he even praised Noah's great achievement of directly subduing the fire dragon, saying frankly that Noah might be comparable to Dumbledore.
Noah: “…”
My parents seemed to be two extremes at that moment. One was overly worried about him, and the other was simply overconfident.
But no matter what, he had to comfort his mother when he returned. I just hope that my father has been comforted before.
At noon, the bus stopped outside Noah's house.
Lamy had already been waiting at the door. As soon as she saw Noah getting out of the car, she immediately came up to her. She took the luggage and said in a sharp voice: "Little master, the gentleman and the hostess are waiting for you to have dinner!"
"Thank you," Noah nodded, "Just help me put the suitcase in the room."
"Yes." The house elf snapped his fingers and disappeared in front of Noah with his luggage.
I hope my father is still reliable.
Some people died, but not completely...
