Chapter 649 Christmas Ball

Ron looked at himself in the mirror and was extremely surprised. After a while, he turned to look at Ivan and asked stammeringly. "How long can it stay like this?"

"If you don't deliberately destroy it, it won't be a problem to maintain it for a day or two..." Ivan shrugged and replied.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! This is the best Christmas gift I have ever received!" Ron said excitedly as if he was hit by a surprise falling from the sky - with a decent dress, Meaning he doesn't have to make a fool of himself at this year's Christmas party.

"As long as you like it!" Ivan smiled and said casually.

Harry, Seamus, and Neville, who had been watching, also gathered around, praising Ron's new dress and cheering him on. The harmony in the dormitory returned to the past.

After so many days, Harry's anger had long since dissipated, and he and Ron were talking and laughing freely, as if they had never had any conflicts.

Ron acted a little awkward. He always wanted to say something, but couldn't.

There seemed to be a thin film between the two of them, and their relationship was always a little different than before.

Ivan noticed this, but didn't care.

To him, Ron was just a relatively good friend. Although they met early, their friendship over the years was not shallow but not deep. They just stayed together for a long time and occasionally took him along when going on adventures.

So when Ron lost his temper and wanted to break off diplomatic relations with them, Ivan was not in a hurry to argue and explain to Ron.

But Harry is different. Ivan recognizes him as a trustworthy friend.

He still remembered that when he was short of money to buy potions in the first year, Harry tried every means to help him. After being rejected by him, he politely sent ten gold galleons as a Christmas gift.

When Harry lent him the invisibility cloak last year, he was very happy and didn't even ask what he was using it for.

Ivan kept all these help in mind, which is why he was willing to spend a few days teaching the other party the magic spell...

Considering that the dance was about to begin, the few people in the dormitory chatted for a few words before heading to the Gryffindor common room together.

After only a few hours of separation, this place has simply become a small exhibition hall.

The students inside all changed out of their usual school uniforms and put on various styles of dresses and robes, especially the girls, who were all dressed up in gorgeous ways, which made people dazzled.

"I really didn't know there were so many beautiful girls in the school." Simo looked around and said with emotion.

"Yeah, I never noticed it usually..." Harry nodded in agreement and looked to one side - Ginny was chatting with some friends there.

Perhaps because she caught Harry's gaze, Ginny quickly turned her head. When she saw Harry, her eyes suddenly lit up. She whispered a few words to her friends and ran over here.

"Ginny!" Ron greeted Ginny happily, and then he was shocked to see his sister holding Harry's arm.

"Wait...Harry, Ginny, are you here?" Ron was stunned, his eyes constantly flickering between the two of them.

"He invited me to this year's Yule Ball!" Ginny said with a blush on her cheeks.

"Ah, yes, I happened to be short of a dance partner, so... so..." Harry felt embarrassed under Ron's gaze, and his voice became smaller and smaller. He vaguely regretted inviting Ginny to be his dance partner.

Fortunately, at this time, Ivan spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Ginny, where is Hermione? Have you seen her?"

"She was still taking care of her hair when I came down! It should be soon..." Ginny explained, and then said mysteriously as if she remembered something. "You will be surprised to see her!"

Harry and others were all a little curious, even Ivan was no exception.

They waited here together for a while. Suddenly, there was some commotion at the stairs going upstairs. Ivan turned around and looked over, and was stunned.

The person who came down was none other than Hermione!

It's just that compared to usual, Hermione has lost her heavy bookishness, and she shines like a new star at this moment.

The originally messy long brown hair had been taken care of and became smooth and shiny, and was pulled into an elegant bun on the back of the head.

She was slowly walking down the stairs, her hands as white as jade gently resting on the corners of her skirt. The light-colored long skirt on her body shone with a faint purple light, reflecting her rosy skin crystal clear, and a black The silk belt was tied around her waist like this, outlining the girl's beautiful figure.

The two Gryffindor girls who walked down with her seemed to be her foils. Everyone's eyes were focused on Hermione. Ron's mouth was wide open with an expression of disbelief on his face, haha Lee wasn't much better.

"Is she really Hermione?" Seamus asked in surprise.

He was not the only one who wanted to ask this question. Parvati in the dormitory also stared at Hermione with a questioning look, wondering if she had recognized the wrong person.

Hermione didn't care about everyone's surprised looks and questions, but just walked to Ivan step by step.

"How's it going? Is it okay?" Hermione asked nervously, her words mixed with a little shyness and expectation.

"It's so beautiful, it's beyond my expectation!" Ivan said with admiration.

Hermione smiled with joy on her face. She gently took Ivan's arm and said jovially. "Let's go, the dance time is almost here, let's go to the auditorium!"

Ivan nodded.

At this time, the students in the lounge also found their own dance partners. Although Ron did not have Harry's help, he also found Lavender as his dance partner, and the two got along very well.

Harry was more embarrassed. Due to Ron's presence, he didn't dare to have any intimate behavior with Ginny. He felt uncomfortable all over. On the way to the foyer, he was grabbed and teased by the Weasley brothers for a while. Almost ran away.

"Little Ronnie, you actually bought a new dress. This is... incredible!" After teasing Harry, George and Fred also noticed Ron's "new dress", and both of them looked... Very surprised.

"Isn't it okay? You are only allowed to wear new clothes?" Ron looked at them very dissatisfied and said something back.

George and Fred were bored, then looked at Ivan and Hermione again, and said with a little surprise and admiration. "You are really discerning. No wonder you pass up so many girls and always keep an eye on Hermione."

"Of course!" Ivan replied generously.

While several people were chatting, the oak front door of the auditorium slowly opened. It was obvious that the dance had already begun.
