Chapter 468: Seven Balls

Harry held a pen, supporting his cheek with his left hand. He looked at Eve, who was full of expectation in front of him, and didn't know what to say.

At this very moment, Eve was preparing to hold the seventh ball in July and began to ask him if he had any suggested personnel lists and themes. Recalling the scene when Zhang Qiu first arrived on July 12th, he felt deep exhaustion and regret at this moment.

At that time, what Zhang Qiu brought with her luggage was not very good news. She said that Hermione's performance in the Chinese exam was not good, and even if she could still pass, she might not be able to pass the school application, which made her depressed. At this time, Eve played the role of a brainstormer and said, "How about we hold a ball to help her change her mood."

At that time, Harry agreed without hesitation, and taking advantage of the good mood of seeing Zhang Qiu again, he said the words that he would regret later: "Sure, invite whoever you want, hold as many as you want."

Then, the first ball started simply like that. Eve invited many friends from the Wizarding World and also called many Muggle celebrities to make up the numbers. In order to let them get along harmoniously, Harry simply drafted a "Magic Party" theme for her, requiring everyone to attend in wizard robes. This was the most successful one.

Immediately after, the day after the ball ended, Eve insisted that Hermione was still unhappy and wanted to hold a second ball. Moreover, she took the liberty of designing a "Hardcore Reasoning" theme and also chose a dark brown short cloak to match a camel plaid long skirt as her evening dress, which immediately stood out among those flashy bitches wearing Victorian-style long skirts. That time, Harry received letters from Luo En and Jin Ni saying they couldn't come because they didn't have evening dresses that matched the theme, while Draco and Pan Xi were smiling in the ballroom. His mood was very complicated.

So, when Eve intended to use Hermione's bad mood as an excuse to launch a third ball again, Harry, in order to find an excuse for Luo En's retro robes, took the "Time Traveler" theme. This time, Luo En was no longer the only boy wearing lace robes on the field, but something happened that he would never forget in his life—when he pulled a beautiful girl wearing a puff-sleeve short skirt, suspender stockings, and high heels into his arms, he was horrified to find that it was actually a boy.

This gave Eve an excuse to launch a fourth ball, and at this moment, Harry happened to find that the first three balls could correspond to his experiences in the first to third grades. He clearly remembered the curiosity of entering the Wizarding World in the first year and exploring various magical mysteries, and the shock of reading about the Deathly Hallows from ancient documents; remembered the Chamber of Secrets turmoil in the second year, when the children discussed repeatedly, searching for every clue, trying to use reasoning to solve the mystery; and even more remembered taking the TARDIS in the third year, dating Zhang Qiu on various timelines, and by the way, uncovering one hidden secret after another.

Naturally, the theme of the fourth ball was drafted by Harry as "French Waltz," because in his heart, the most impressive thing about the fourth grade was indeed the decisive battle of Tranzero, but the most pleasant thing about the fourth grade was the wonderful time spent exchanging at Beauxbatons.

This was also the one Harry liked the most and the one where the personnel arrived most completely. Not only were Cedric and Krum invited, but also the Wei Wei Silai twins were brought out because of the arrival of Bill and Fleur. This time Harry saw Penelope and Fleur competing as Cedric's new and old lovers, heard the enduring Percy joke of the Wei Wei Silai family, witnessed Krum and Hermione finally having a chance to dance together, and Zhang Qiu even took out the notebook she hadn't looked at for a long time that recorded fate.

And, when Luo En saw the familiar Memory Corridor that first moved his heart appear on Eve, he was suddenly filled with mixed feelings and froze in place.

"I'm sorry, Ronald, because of the Herrscher project, my body is tattooed with many spells, and I can no longer wear this evening dress to dance with you. I gave it to this girl who admires you, hoping you can occasionally remember the good times we once had."

At this moment, Luo En's hand was wrinkled with the letter paper because of too much force, while Harry and Zhang Qiu began to repent for the mean words they said in the sixth grade. However, perhaps Ailina would also secretly regret some of the things she did wrong in the fifth grade at some times.

After this grandest ball, Hermione showed a smile, and Luo En also expressed his satisfaction. But just a week later, Eve proposed to launch a ball again, and she didn't even want to find an excuse, just saying "Seven is a magical number."

Unable to withstand his sister's bitter pleading, Harry held the fifth ball. He remembered that the theme of the fifth grade was a series of exquisite political games, and the life of the entire fifth grade was full of formal wear and meetings, so this time the theme was decorated as "Cardinal Banquet," and Luo En and Jin Ni happened to be able to attend wearing the formal wear of the two official fans in the family. This was also the only time Eve attended the ball in wide-leg pants instead of a long skirt, but Harry was fascinated by a fishtail skirt with a high slit worn by Zhang Qiu.

Wide-leg pants and velvet suits made Eve feel like the ball was a waste. She didn't dance with Luo En much the whole time, but kept turning among those Muggle girls who threw themselves into her arms. For this reason, she and Harry had a fierce argument about the theme of the sixth one.

Although Harry in the sixth grade spent the whole year running around for the new power of Kamen Rider, for Eve, who lived a peaceful life in school and hoped that the theme would allow her to wear beautiful skirts, she still hoped to get closer to the blood clan that was also making a lot of noise this year—in the end, they each took a step back and chose "Half-Blood Prince" as the theme.

The Wei Wei Silai family's prank bloodline was quietly inherited by Jin Ni. When Harry was still happy that Lupin brought Nikola and Edith, she invited Severus Snape with a secret letter.

It's hard to say whether Snape has walked out of Mia's shadow at this moment, and I don't know whether he brought Donna as a dance partner for etiquette or if there is a story, and I don't know whether he came here to commemorate his lost middle-school years or to participate in the gathering where all the knights in the country were present as Moon Knight. But in short, although he himself was not very happy, at least he didn't let everyone down.

Finally, Harry had no new ideas, and Eve once again brought out the "Magic of Seven," wanting to hold one last ball before heading to The Burrow.

"Well, if you use your previous naming method," Eve prompted, "although the seventh grade hasn't started yet, what do you think will happen?"

"Perhaps nothing will happen; we have no enemies anymore." Thinking of this, Harry showed a satisfied smile. "Hogwarts will spend the most peaceful year."

"Oh come on, do you want to use 'Leisure Campus' or 'Leisure Time' as the theme?" Eve held her forehead. "I don't want to wear those lady skirts anymore; I think they are useless."

"Child, if you want to attract Luo En," Zhang Qiu said pointedly on the side, "you have to accompany him to adventure in various secret realms, not one ball after another."

"What?" Harry was taken aback; he seemed to have just found out. "Is that what you think?"

Eve glared at him. "Otherwise? I'm working very hard to share your worries."

"Me?"

"Yeah, Luo En's fantasy omnipotence is the only thing that can restrain Ohma Zi-O." Eve calculated for him very seriously. "If one day you two quarrel and break up, the result is unimaginable, so I have to find a way to make it closer."

"First of all, we won't quarrel and break up, and secondly, why is it unimaginable?" Harry retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, at that time Dumbledore and Grindelwald also felt that they couldn't quarrel and break up, and then what? The one who lost was locked in prison for more than fifty years, is it fifty years? My history of magic is not very good, maybe longer."

Hard, the fist is hard, Harry just wanted to hammer her head.

"Don't say such things that are not conducive to unity in the future." Harry took back his anger helplessly and sighed. "I can't figure out, do you really like Luo En?"

"I used to just like his good figure and good personality, but well..." Eve is unbridled at home. "After his father became Minister of Magic and he himself became the strongest Kamen Rider, I must have him in this life."

"Why didn't you get sorted into Slytherin." Harry rolled his eyes, then handed his seeking gaze to Zhang Qiu. "What will I do in the seventh grade? I mean, according to divination."

Zhang Qiu had actually been flipping through it for a long time, but the seventh grade in the trajectory of fate was very different from now. She raised her head and said in an incredible tone, "It's hard to imagine that you would destroy all the Horcruxes while running away under Voldemort's pursuit, and collect all the Deathly Hallows."

"Sounds exciting, but it's clearly impossible now." Harry shrugged. "So don't be so sad, you can be high-spirited, for example, uh..."

"Sigh, I'd rather participate in this exciting escape," Eve said regretfully. "How about 'Wild Enlightenment'? I just happen to try adventure shorts and over-the-knee socks. Luo En's look at the Memory Corridor last time told me that over-the-knee socks might be his favorite."

"Not bad, we are about to graduate. After that, life is a wilderness, and school life and knowledge are the light of enlightenment." Harry tried to put it on himself now. "Just right, the old robes Luo En's family used for camping can be changed into evening dresses."

"Oh, I remembered a classic Chinese joke." Zhang Qiu couldn't help laughing. "Perhaps you now would say 【Mom, life is a wilderness】. But you in the original trajectory of fate would probably say: 【Damn, wild life】." ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
