Chapter 137
"I'm not fat!" Hermione said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, you're not fat, so what's the little trick you're talking about?" Thorne said casually.
"Uh... corset... and I didn't eat all day today, so that's why." Hermione said a little shyly.
"That thing is so uncomfortable to wear, I'll use magic to cover you, you take it off, or you find a place." Thorne said.
"No, no, today is so important, I want to greet it with the most perfect posture." Hermione shook her head quickly.
"This thing hurts the body."
"It's just one night anyway, it's okay." Hermione said, pulling Thorne towards the preparation area of the auditorium.
Seeing the effeminate Harry and the blushing Ron, Thorne couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Krum and Fleur were also a little curious at first, why the fourth warrior suddenly changed his appearance, and then they found that Harry was the familiar warrior...
"Terrible England." Krum, who was somewhat acquainted with Kongtong, showed a disgusted expression, and unconsciously took his dance partner and quietly stepped back half a step.
And the remaining Fleur, Fleur's Hogwarts dance partner, Krum's Hogwarts dance partner, and Thorne and Hermione, five pairs of eyes looked at Harry and the two.
"Thorne! You wait! You wait!"
Harry lowered her head shyly, and her blushing cheeks looked even more beautiful.
"Harry is so good, why didn't I notice it before?" Hermione whispered in Thorne's ear.
"Who knows."
"You said the two of them..."
"Ahem, ask him yourself." Thorne rolled his eyes.
Soon, when the Christmas ball started, Thorne, as the home team, was the first to walk into the center of the dance floor. After Hermione's high-pressure remedial lessons like military management, he danced well, but at least he would not step on Hermione's feet again.
As for Harry, although he knew everything he should know after such a long time, he was still embarrassed and had been wearing his men's clothes until today.
Sirius sneaked into the Gryffindor dormitory to watch the fun and quietly changed Harry's dress from the original men's version to a princess dress. Although Snape despised this, he still stood in the corner of the dance floor and watched with relish.
Fortunately, this kind of dance steps are not divided by men and women, otherwise...tsk tsk tsk.
Thorne didn't dare to think about that scene.
After spinning several circles in the center of the dance floor, he noticed that Hermione's face had turned pale and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.
Seeing this, Thorne slowly led Hermione away from the center of the dance floor and found a place to sit down.
"Are you tired?"
"A little confused, but it's okay." Hermione shook her head and said.
"Come, eat something." Thorne walked to the food rack on the side, took a glass of water and two small breads and put them on the table. Seeing this, Hermione hurriedly ate in small bites.
"The way you eat........." Thorne looked a little embarrassed.
"I put on makeup, and it's easy to mess up my makeup if I eat normally." Hermione explained.
Thorne nodded and was about to say that he would spend money anyway, since no one would watch mine, but was stopped by Yin Yue who suddenly appeared.
"Put it another way, you said... you look better without makeup, and makeup covers up your original complexion, just like a gem covered with dust."
"...... I think you look better without makeup, and makeup covers up your original complexion, just like a gem covered with dust." Thorne once again shamelessly imitated.
"Not as good as you say." Hermione said embarrassedly, her face was so red that even the foundation couldn't cover it.
"Praise her!" Yin Yue said.
"...You are much prettier than I said, really, there must be a lot of people chasing you since you were a child." Thorne took a deep breath. Hermione was pretty, but it was the first time he praised someone so nakedly... I was still a little embarrassed.
"On the contrary." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"I was not very popular since I was a child. It was not until I was in the Grampian Mountains that I made my first friend, that is, you. As for Harry, Ron, Lavender, they all came later."
"How could it be?" Thorne asked curiously.
"I didn't understand it when I was a child, but now I gradually understand it. It's nothing more than a personality problem. For example, I like to meddle in other people's business, although what they did was indeed wrong... Forget it." Hermione sighed.
"I don't think it's all that. I think they should be more jealous of you." Thorne shook his head.
"Jealous?"
"I'm jealous that you're smart, good at studying, and pretty."
"It's just average." Hermione snorted and left.After opening the seat, he took two bottles of low-alcohol wine from the food rack.
"First of all, I can't drink this." Thorne said quickly.
"Drink water." Hermione said, pushing the water she had taken a sip of in front of Thorne, and then awkwardly put her hands behind her back and wanted to untie her corset, just a little bit.
However, this kind of thing worn inside is still a bit difficult for Hermione, who is inconvenient to move in a dress. Fortunately, Draco and Astoria saw Thorne and Hermione sitting here, and immediately came over with ill intentions.
"Hey, hey, what's the matter with you two? Are you going to get drunk before you go home? Do I need to leave the door of the dormitory open for you tonight?" Draco asked with a funny look on his face.
Astoria was much kinder, standing behind Hermione and quietly untied her corset a little bit.
Hermione: "Thank you."
"It's just a small matter."
After saying that, Astoria hid her achievements and fame, dragged Draco away and stopped being a light bulb.
"Draco has changed now, and he is not as annoying as he was at the beginning." Hermione said after taking a sip of wine.
"How can he say that? Although this is not very respectful to my aunt and uncle, Draco was born in a family that is obviously not a good person. His current state is already a good result. Although he is not as gentle as Cedric, he is not bad either, just being a slut." Thorne said.
"Well, that's right... Thorne."
"Well?"
"Am I your first friend?" Hermione asked with narrowed eyes and poured another sip of wine into her mouth.
"You are the second one." Thorne replied.
"Well, you always say first come first served. If we met later, we would definitely not be sitting here today." Hermione said in a daze.
"It's not nice to say this, but... it's almost time." Thorne saw that the time was almost up, and the people around him left the hall one after another.
"Let's go too." Thorne said, supporting Hermione, who was unsteady on her feet, and walked towards the Gryffindor Tower.
"You go in, I should go back too." Thorne said and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
His sleeve was suddenly pulled by Hermione.
........
"Goyle, turn off the lights!" Draco said while lying on the bed.
"Aren't you going to wait for Thorne?" Goyle asked in confusion.
"No! He won't be back tonight!"
"Oh!"
