HP Peter Can't Be That Cute

Chapter 160 Surprise Opening Ceremony

But she couldn't stay in Riddle's arms forever. At least at the opening ceremony, they needed to maintain the dignity of "superiors" in front of everyone, especially Riddle, who showed his unique and dignified temperament and aura that was above everyone else.

He bent down and carefully placed Alayya on the chair beside him, accepting the gazes of the crowd. At this time, Riddle regretted a little that he should have turned her into a hamster to accompany him, so that there would not be so many disgusting gazes.

But Lucius was right. As his woman, Alayya would have to appear in front of everyone sooner or later. He needed a woman to enrich his "people-friendly" image, and he didn't want this person to be anyone else.

But for Alayya, he still asked someone to help her change her makeup a little. At least now no one would think she was a student who was still in school, but a graceful woman. Although he still liked her without makeup, it was also nice to see her feminine side occasionally.

Alayya felt guilty no matter how she sat on the podium, and wished she could hide in the chair, but she was unconsciously attracted by Riddle who was talking beside her. Alayya didn't remember anything he said in the speech, but his natural and confident look was really eye-catching.

The entrance to the opening ceremony was exactly the same as Alayya had imagined. All the contestants would ride their own Pegasus and fly over the competition field in turn according to the host's introduction.

Almost all contestants designed a very cool entrance performance for themselves, some breathing fire, some raising their legs high while standing on a horse, some doing backflips, and some even performing a human pyramid performance?

But when it came to Snape, he didn't make any special movements. He rode his Pegasus in a straight line almost without stopping for a moment, flying over the podium and then left the stage. However, Alaia made eye contact with him in the sky, and his serious features finally relaxed a little, as if to say, "You are here?"

Alaia subconsciously covered her face. He recognized her at first sight? Didn't Riddle say that no one would recognize her? Even she didn't dare to recognize herself in front of the mirror. Her originally tender and boyish face became a little charming under the magic of the house-elf. How did he find out?

Snape's eccentricity made everyone remember him immediately, like a breath of fresh air among all the showmanship. Everyone believed that Snape must have hidden great strength and looked down on those showmen. Suddenly, more bets were placed on Snape in those gambling games.

On the other hand, Regulus did prepare a little performance, but perhaps because of Snape's presence, he did not make a big show. He just held the sword and danced a few times when it was fixed. He looked very heroic, which made Alea swallow her saliva in surprise.

Immediately, a silk handkerchief appeared on her face, blocking her vision. "There's something on your face~" Riddle said shamelessly and almost scratched her forehead. When Alea regained her sight, Regulus had disappeared from the arena.

She looked at Riddle with some resentment, but she could only see his excellent jawline and the low pressure that was about to come. Alayya knew that she had no reason to cause trouble for him and could only blame herself for her bad luck.

But it doesn’t matter, she still has plenty of opportunities to appreciate the handsome guy’s playing style, Alayya comforted herself.

Just as the entrance to the opening ceremony was about to come to an end, a down-and-out man riding a hawk suddenly stumbled out from the rear of the formation. He had an unshaven beard and messy hair. He dodged the Death Eater guards while shouting, "Peter! Where are you? I'm here to save you!"

The determination in his eyes and his agile speed amazed everyone. If he was riding a Pegasus, no one would be able to defeat him!

"Newt?!" Alayya would be lying if she said she wasn't excited. She was mumbling but before she could expand her voice again, she was about to stand up and call him when a big hand pushed her back into the chair. Riddle didn't look away, but Alayya could still feel his heavy gaze.

By the way, Riddle would definitely not allow her to find Newt. She could only silently look at Newt who was captured in the sky and pray that he would not be hurt by the Death Eaters.

At the same time, she noticed the strength of the hand squeezing her shoulder, which made her feel a little pain. He seemed to really mind it. But based on her experience with Riddle in the dream, she seemed to know very well how to comfort him.

So Alayya stretched out her right hand and covered the big hand on her shoulder, easily freeing him from his restraints, and naturally touched his palm, like a little hamster stretching out its claws and scratching it a few times.

Riddle really relaxed his tense body and clasped her fingers with his backhand. The strength was still not to be underestimated, but Alayya felt that he should not be so angry anymore. What a jealous guy.

"The game continues!" Riddle regained his original elegance. Alayya could take advantage of Riddle's relaxation to watch Newt. Fortunately, although he was controlled by the Death Eaters, as an expert on magical creatures, he was still treated preferentially and became the special referee of the game.

Maybe they are also worried that if he participates in the competition, then the specific champion may not have the strength to win.

After this episode, the first race began. The aerial obstacle course was an eye-opener for Alaya. There were owls constantly moving in the air between tall trees, waterfalls that appeared out of nowhere, and even fire rings.

Isn't this too difficult? Few Pegasus were able to fly in order according to the instructions of the contestants. Some either skipped the obstacles directly, or hit the owls, and some even got hung on the vines in the woods.

But here Snape showed his skillful driving skills. Alaia almost thought he had drugged the Pegasus! When he passed the waterfall, the wings of the Pegasus didn't even get wet. It just stuck to the curve between the rock wall and the waterfall and passed through.

For the first time, Alayya felt admiration for Snape's flying. Even Regulus made a small mistake and accidentally hit an owl, for which he was deducted two points.

Only Snape completed the competition with full marks, and his perfection really surprised everyone. At the same time, it also allowed Riddle to see his ability...

"That...is Snape?"
