Chapter 407 Choosing a Dance Partner

The young wizards hurried to Professor McGonagall's office.

Ron was already desperately trying to recall if there was something wrong with his homework.

Since being warned by Professor McGonagall, he has given up 'English to English' and changed to recompiling several homework assignments together.

Professor McGonagall's office was not far away. When they arrived, the old lady was frowning and staring at the homework in her hand angrily.

The boiling anger was felt by several young wizards. They watched in fear as Professor McGonagall kicked up the quill pen and scribbled hard on the parchment, and then wrote another line of words.

It looked like a very harsh criticism, but fortunately Professor McGonagall didn't call them over to criticize.

She raised her head and took a few deep breaths, and forced a gentle expression:

"Oh, you are here."

She stood up and walked around the desk, her expression became serious again, as if she was explaining something important:

"I have a few words to say to all of you.

"The Christmas ball is coming - it is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament, and it is also a great opportunity for us to interact with foreign guests.

This Super Tournament has adopted this tradition."

Zhang Xiao heard several little wizards smacking their lips in an incomprehensible way.

"It's like this, the ball is only open to students above the fourth grade - but if you like, you can invite a lower grade student -"

Neville raised a trembling hand:

"Professor -"

Professor McGonagall looked at this student who had become famous all over the world with a brand new look, and her face was rarely soft:

"Mr. Longbottom?"

"Must - I mean must I attend the ball?" Neville's round face was horrified: "But I can't dance."

"Oh, I'm afraid so, you must dance. "Professor McGonagall sighed and said, "I was just about to tell you this.

According to traditional practice, the ball is opened by the warriors and their partners.

Because there are enough contestants this time, we will enter according to the ranking of the first round. "

Zhang Xiao couldn't laugh anymore. He was alone and ranked first, which meant that he had to dance the first dance with his partner under the gaze of everyone.

Wo Tian! Little Tianshi, danger!

The faces of several little wizards flushed instantly, nervous and excited, holding their breath and listening to Professor McGonagall continue:

"When the time comes, put on your dress robes-you should be ready, right?"

Ron shouted excitedly: "So it's used here! That weird robe!"

"Mr. Weasley, I understand your excitement, but I don't want anyone to interrupt me before I finish, or you can learn from Mr. Longbottom and raise your hand before asking questions. "

Ron immediately shrank his neck, and Professor McGonagall glared at him again, then let Ron go:

"The ball will be held in the hall at 8 o'clock on Christmas evening and end at midnight.

Listen -

The Christmas ball will undoubtedly give us the opportunity to - uh - let our hair down and relax ourselves. "

Finally, Professor McGonagall felt that she should give the little wizards some encouragement so that they could show the style of Hogwarts students more easily.

So she forced a smile, which scared the little wizards. They almost ran out of Professor McGonagall's office in fear.

After turning the corner, they stopped, looked at each other in shock, and then burst into warm laughter again.

They laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes, but they didn't know what they were laughing at, they just wanted to laugh.

"To be honest, Professor McGonagall's last smile was terrible. I felt that she might announce my various violations of school rules at any time. "

Ron wiped his tears, his face was red, he held his stomach, and he laughed so hard that it was difficult for him to speak.

"By the way, who are you going to invite?"

This sentence made everyone silent. Hogwarts was the second place, which meant that except for Zhang who opened alone, everyone was almost the focus of everyone.

Even Malfoy, who claimed to have received a full set of elite education, was a little nervous.

In such a dull atmosphere, the little wizards left with droopy faces and sighs.

As Professor McGonagall announced the Christmas ball to everyone again after class, the matter spread at an unimaginable speed.

Harry, who had just been discharged from the hospital, had not had time to celebrate Hogwarts' second place, and found that the heat of this matter had passed.

The top hot news at the moment is the Christmas ball.

People who stayed in school for Christmas in the past always A very small part.

This year is different. All students above the fourth grade seem to want to stay. Even those below the fourth grade decide to stay. They try to get the warriors to invite themselves so that they can participate in this unprecedented Christmas ball.

In the eyes of Harry and others, they are all very obsessed with the upcoming ball-at least all the girls are like this.

For example, Harry was surprised and said privately that he had never found that Hogwarts could accommodate so many girls before.

The girls giggled and whispered in the corridor. The girls laughed shrilly every time a boy walked by. The girls excitedly exchanged opinions and talked about what to wear on Christmas Eve...

Today's weather is very good. Zhang Xiao took everyone to practice in the club for a while, and then decided to go outdoors to bask in the rare sunshine.

"Why are they all in groups?" Harry asked puzzledly - at this time, a dozen girls were walking by, looking at Harry and giggling secretly.

Ron shrugged and said sadly:

"Who knows? Who did you invite? By the way, it must be Astoria."

Harry nodded and didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't know whether he liked Astoria or not.

It's just that this very beautiful (key point) girl is too enthusiastic, and her actual age is only one year younger than him. She has been persevering and expressing her feelings for him for a whole year.

Zhang Xiao finally understood that Harry was a scumbag who didn't refuse, take the initiative, or take responsibility.

He just coveted Astoria's face!

"Zhang, what about you?" Harry took off his glasses in annoyance, wiped them with an eye cloth, and then remembered something and took out his wand and wiped it.

The tip of the holly wand turned red and shot out several bright sparks, obviously very angry at the owner's behavior.

"Me?" Zhang Xiao was really asked, and suddenly he felt a little anxious. He could dance the national standard dance, but when he was in school, he was thinking about the white and soft hands of his female classmates.

How could he calm down to learn to dance?

Uh, he was still laughing at Harry. He was only a teenager at the time, and he was not the same!

Who to find? What dance to dance.

Cedric smiled happily and calmly. As early as Professor McGonagall told them about the Christmas dance, he immediately made an appointment with Qiu Zhang.

"I don't think you need to worry about the problem of dance partners." Cedric leaned on the stone railing with his arms folded, and there was a gloating taste on his handsome face:

"On the contrary, you should worry that there are too many girls looking for you. As a warrior, you perform well in the first level. I dare say they will line up to compete to dance with you."

Malfoy pursed his lips and didn't say a word for some reason. He looked a little bit wrong, and the other little wizards thought it was impossible.

Facts proved that Cedric's judgment was very correct.

The next day, a curly-haired girl from the third year of Hufflepuff School came over and invited Harry in return - Harry swore that he had never known her.

In desperation, Harry had to reveal that he already had a dance partner, and the girl walked away, looking hurt.

Ron laughed, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because a girl named Lavender Brown stopped him. Looking at her, it seemed that if Ron dared to refuse, she would knock him out.

In Lavender Brown's fiery eyes that were almost unbearable to look directly at, Ron fled in panic.

This time it was Harry's turn to laugh so hard that he fell backwards. After he laughed enough, he still said impartially: "Actually, Brown is pretty."

"Did you notice her eyes?" Ron said, still in shock: "She looks like she wants to eat me whole!"

Not only Ron, but several other warriors were also enthusiastically sought after. The boys in the school seemed to have suddenly discovered the beauty hidden under Hermione's fluffy hair.

He started to invite her, but Hermione refused all of them.

Neville, with his round face, also became a handsome man, but he also refused. He unexpectedly invited Luna Lovegood, a third-year wizard.

Some jealous and crazy girls couldn't believe the news. Why could a "crazy girl" be invited by Neville, who was very popular in the school?

But Neville insisted that Luna was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Her beauty is not only in her appearance. Luna is one of the best girls in Hogwarts." Neville explained to his good friends.

Zhang Xiao patted his shoulder and encouraged:

"Neville, you don't need to explain to anyone. Next time those people come to you, just tell them boldly that this is your freedom!"

Neville looked at him in surprise, then nodded heavily, with a relieved smile on his face.

After comforting Neville, Zhang Xiao turned his head and looked at Xiao Ma again. Master Ma had no appetite for the past two days, and he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped, which was really uncomfortable.

Zhang Xiao suspected that if he didn't ask, he might even suffocate himself to death!

"Draco, do you have any ideas?"

Malfoy's pale face was hesitant: "It's just that I don't dare to do so. I hate my weakness and want to speak."

What a big deal! Wait, Zhang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered where this place was.

This is England!

Zhang Xiao clenched his fists silently with murderous intent, Xiao Ma, if you dare to invite me, I will beat you to death! !

However, he still had to test the bottom first, so the little Taoist priest brought a bowl of chicken soup without water:

"Draco, if you want to get support from me, then I tell you clearly that I support you, I believe in you, and you are already an outstanding Slytherin."

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiao added: "Dumbledore said so!"

Malfoy raised his head suddenly, his face was slightly flushed, which was already an extremely excited performance.

He trembled and said, "Principal Dumbledore said that?"

"Really!"

Looking at Zhang Xiao's sincere eyes, Malfoy believed it, which seemed to bring him infinite strength.

Mr. Ma turned around, clenched his fists tightly, with a look of determination on his face:

"Granger! I want to invite you to be my dance partner!"

Ah?

Hermione turned her eyes away from the book, her face a little red, she first glanced at her friends quietly, wanting to see if they were laughing at her.

Then she said a little embarrassedly:

"But I have already promised someone else."

This time it finally attracted everyone's attention, they hurriedly gathered around and asked:

"Hermione, do you already have a dance partner?"

"Who is it? Why haven't you told us?"

"Tell us quickly, don't keep it a secret."

Zhang Xiao took a breath, it was messy, too messy, he sorted out the relationship.

First of all, Pony's wife in the original book, Astoria - now with Harry.

Then Neville and Luna are also very hopeful, and Ron's whole person suddenly stood up because his wallet was bulging.

In addition, he is also a member of the Hogwarts Warriors and has many admirers, which leads him to have always had ideas about Fleur.

But this is your sister-in-law in the future!

In addition, Malfoy seems to like Hermione?

Ron————

Zhang Xiao let out a long breath and looked at Ron unconsciously.

Then Ron was discussing with Harry and Cedric how likely it was that he would invite Fleur.

Well, I don’t care at all. Zhang Xiao thought about it, Ron and Hermione’s current development trajectories are completely different.

It should be said that both of them are better than in the original book, and it is natural to have some changes.

Facing the inquiries of her friends, Hermione stood up helplessly, shaking her drooping head.

“Oh, what are you talking about, I promised Ginny!”

Ginny?

"Aren't you two girls?"

"I asked Professor McGonagall, and she thought about it for a long time--" Hermione laughed happily: "She said there is no rule that prohibits bringing girls to the dance, but you must dance with boys when you go on stage.

No rule prohibits it, it is allowed

Ginny also wants to attend the dance, but she is worried that no one is willing to invite her, so she asked me to take her."

But Ginny is very beautiful, how could no one invite Ginny, Harry suddenly reacted.

In fact, Ginny is also a very beautiful girl!

1. Monthly ticket 2. Recommendation ticket

The original plan was Malfoy and Hermione, but after asking, everyone said they had no objection, but felt that I might be scolded, so after thinking about it, I changed it a little.

The little carp is almost done! Prepare to add more!
