“For everyone who participated and came to this occasion, thank you—the night is still young, and there are plenty of magical moments left to be made. Enjoy the rest of the evening, and who knows? The next bit of magic might be just around the corner,” tutup Ivoire dengan senyuman.

“How inspiring. That was indeed an incredible speech from the Triwizard Champion,” ucap Ivoire dengan kuasa yang bertepuk menyambut akhir dari ucapan sang pemenang. “Now, let's hear which couple that conquered the dance floor tonight. Please welcome, Yule Ball Awarding.”

“I was so oblivious to your perspective; I let those dark feelings take over, and I’m ashamed of how I acted. I wish I could take it all back, but I know I can’t. What I can do is apologize from the bottom of my heart and ask if there’s anything I can do to make things right between us.”

Ivoire sudah melatih ini berulang kali, tapi lidahnya masih saja kelu. Ia menarik napas dan berujar, “I’ve been carrying a lot of guilt about what happened between us in the past—especially about that portrait curse I put on Hogwarts.

Tatap nyalang ia arahkan ke arah sang kepala sekolah yang telah melontarkan ia hingga terjepit rongsokan baju zirah di dinding aula. “I should just burn that man,” ucapnya berang. Tak ada gunanya melawan saat tubuhnya tak berkutik. Ivoire mengumpulkan tenaga untuk melawan.

“You think you can held me with that, aren’t you?” cemoohnya saat gerakannya dan kawanan baju zirah melambat akibat efek sihir. Tak habis akal, Ivoire menciptakan deceptive illusion pada seluruh staf yang ada di Great Hall dengan kemampuan ancient magic-nya.
