37 37. Time to dance

The next day, the first thing Alexander did was go to the warehouse. All the elves most probably would have gone through physical evolution by then. When he entered, he was overwhelmed by the thousands of now human-sized elves, some looked like Dobby too.

"Dobby, what's the status?" He asked.

"Everything is good, boss. I've already told them about their new life and they have happily accepted your offer. They are ready to bond with your magic," Dobby answered.

"Nice, okay let's start the bonding and also get them to sign the employment contract."

...

After they finished up with the elves and also assigning them different classes to learn to. He headed back to his office to grab the soon to be launched Magic gaming console.

It was magical as it not only gave the player a sense of smell but also touch. The games could be played through the controller or headgear. Whichever the user likes. He had already prepared some games and had also started a new game production company. It would cater to both the magical and muggle world.

For now, Alexander had copied some old games from his past world. Games such as Grand theft auto, Assassin's Creed, Witcher, Fallout, Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim. These games were open world and multiplayer. The games with more than one number of installments would be combined into one big map.

He picked up the console and went to Hogwarts to gift it to Dumbledore. There was also Yule ball that evening so he decided to take that day off.

...

"Haha... What brought you here my friend?" Dumbledore asked. He had really changed since the 'Gift of God'. Yeah, that's what the people named his fight.

"Nothing, I just came here to show you my new, soon to be launched device called gaming console. It's an interactive type of movie you can say. Anyway, you'll understand it if you try" he said while connecting the console with Uni T.V.

"Alright, Put this headband on your head."

He then started the Witcher game. Mainly because it had medieval settings and there were magic and monsters too. Well, what happened next was beyond expectation. The old boy Dumbledore was so hooked that he even forgot that he was in his office. After 2 hours he finally stopped.

"Oh my god, Alex. This is amazing. It's so hard to imagine that what I just saw wasn't real. But the beauty of the world and the monsters. *Sigh* What else do you have?" He excitedly asked.

Then Alexander introduced him to other games. Until the evening they just sat in the office playing co-op. While playing Alexander had a crazy idea. What if he made a counter strike but instead of guns there will be wands. They will have to cast spells by thinking about it. The headgear will make it all look and feel so real that it would turn all players into real duelists. I can also host tournaments later.

Deciding to work on his plan later, he left the Dumbledore's office to get ready for Yule Ball. He simply put on a long coat over his daily gentleman clothes. He always looked magnificent so there was no need for more improvement.

After getting ready he apparated to Ball Venue. The Venue was selected by him. It was a large rooftop which was immensely decorated. A false ceiling was also made to hold disco lights for later. His main purpose for selecting the rooftop was because he had prepared for 6 hours of continuous sky fireworks. They were magically made, so no fear of harming the climate. Plus it would make the night more beautiful. Mainly for couples.

Another change that he made was that all students were allowed to visit. But only 4th years and higher could dance in the Ball. 1st, 2nd and 3rd years could dance in the disco hours. There was also an all you can eat buffet, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and many more fun things. He had included an open-air theater set for later hours. It would show the Titanic movie, which his studio had recently released in the muggle world. He had already searched for movies and shows that had scripts and copyrights in the world.

He left those that were there but those that were missing, he decided to make. Titanic was never supposed to come out in this world as Titanic never happened because there was a wizard present on the ship. He had also started up the whole Marvel comics and had begun to plan for movies.

Back to the ball. Students below 4th year also had a curfew. All of them were supposed to go back to sleep by 10.

...

Alexander reached the Venue when the Ball was just about to start. The surrounding speakers started to produce music. The 3 champions took to the dance floor with their partners.

Hermione had her hand around Edward's arms. They both looked like beautiful couples. Shameless as he was, he couldn't help but whistle at the pair. Hearing his whistle, both Edward and Hermione's cheeks turned red.

Fleur Delacour entered with Cedric Diggory. Viktor Krum came with some random Slytherin girl. He couldn't find anyone decent after what he did at the 1st task.

The lights dimmed and music started. They started to slowly dance. Just then the fireworks started to happen. Ceiling was enchanted to be transparent. Colorful light started to fall upon the terrace. Edward and Hermione lifted their faces and looked at the sky while slowly dancing. Edward's arm around her waist and her hands on his shoulder.

Suddenly a peculiar bright blue firework appeared in the sky and started to write something. When it finished writing, everyone started to laugh.

It said, "Kiss her already, dammit" At the end of the line there was Alexander's face with a wink.

Edward and Hermione embarrassingly ignored everyone and just looked into each other's eyes. Mesmerized with each other.

...

"Goddammit, why aren't they kissing. There can never be a better opportunity to declare themselves a couple in public. I guess I'll have to bring out the big guns." Alexander disappeared for a second.

When he reappeared, he had 2 new guests in his hands.

"Alright, Fawkes and Berry. I want you two to sing the best love song you can. A song so good that it would turn even those soulless Durmstrang boys into lovers for each other. Go now. Bring me some pride," he said.

Fawkes and little Berry puffed their chests out proudly. Then they flew in the air and started chirping the song.

Their song turned the atmosphere of the room to a full 180 degrees. Edward and Hermione finally kissed. But they weren't the only ones. Many other couples were kissing too. Hagrid and Madam Maxime, Harry and Cho Chang. The most shocking one was actually Malfoy. He left Daphne and was currently in a passionate threesomes tongue twister with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Well, who am I to judge... But damn, Fawkes and Berry are too good. Sh*t I miss her now," Alexander said. Missing his old wife.

Soon both phoenix came back to Alexander and sat on his shoulders.

He petted them and said, "Good job, both of you. Your song was so good that I was just a pinpoint away from turning into another Dumbledore"

Both of the phoenix looked at each other seemingly confused about what they heard. Alexander noticed it.

"Aww... You guys are too pure to understand the complexities of this word. Go, eat whatever you want now. But no stealing from people's plates. Just point your claws at whatever you want and someone will give it to you." He sent them away.

Then he slowly walked to the dance floor. Just when he was about to enter the floor he loudly clapped his hands and in an instant, the whole theme of the Venue changed to more unofficial. The dance music came up and colorful lights started to blink.

"Alright, everyone. The real party starts now. IT'S TIME TO DANCE," he roared. The whole hall followed him and loudly cheered.

In a matter of seconds, the whole dance floor got filled with people jumping and dancing. Alexander was absolutely the craziest of them all.

He was jumping around with 2 first year kiddies sitting on his shoulders and Fawkes and Berry flying around him, chirping heavily. He was also casting small flying charms at 1st 2nd and 3rd years, making them fly in the air. He then shot a Patronus which divided itself into 20 different magical animals.

Even the definition of having fun involved a crazy amount of power for Alexander. The night was wild. Edward and Hermione came closer to him while dancing and gave him a quick hug.

"Thank you, grandpa," they said.

"You call me grandpa and then say thank you... Come on guys don't hurt me like that" he dropped some fake tears.

The party continued and soon it was Luna who was happily sitting on his shoulders.

"Hey, where are your shoes, little Luna?" He asked.

"Hmm... I don't know. It was hurting to dance so I put them somewhere, but someone took them," she expressionlessly said.

Alexander knew that someone was messing with her on purpose. He then realized that the wards couldn't pick it up as bullying because Luna didn't consider it bullying. She was just too pure. Right there and then he rewrote the anti-bullying wards to include cases like these. Then he happily looked at her.

"What is your favorite Magical animal, Luna?" He asked.

"Umm... It's Crumple-Horned Snorkack, but I haven't seen them yet." She answered.

"Ohhh, that. It's quite hard to find you know. They have a special ability to hide from people."

Luna's face showed a rare shock and excitement. "Can... Can you help me see one?"

"Absolutely, my dear. Let's go" as he finished speaking he apparated to a forest in Sweden. Luna, still sitting on his shoulder.
