Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 407 Choosing a Dance Partner



The little wizards hurried towards Professor McGonagall's office.

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

Since being warned by Professor McGonagall, he has given up on 'English to English' and instead mixed several assignments together and recompiled them.

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

Even a few young wizards felt the boiling anger. They watched in fear as Professor McGonagall picked up the quill and smeared it hard on the parchment, and then wrote another line of words.

It seemed like a very harsh criticism, but thankfully Professor McGonagall wasn't calling them over for criticism.

She raised her head and took a few deep breaths, then reluctantly showed a gentle expression:

"Oh, you're 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 Yule Ball is coming up – a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to mingle with our foreign guests.

This Super Contest continues this tradition. "

Zhang Xiao heard several little wizards making unclear smacking sounds.

"That's right, the dance is only open to students in fourth grade and above - but if you want, you can invite a junior student -"

Neville raised a hand tremblingly:

"professor--"

Professor McGonagall looked at this student who was already famous all over the world with a completely new look, and a rare softness appeared on his face:

"Mr. Longbottom?"

"Must - I mean do I have to attend the dance?" Neville's round face looked frightened: "But I can't dance."

"Oh, I'm afraid yes, you have to dance." Professor McGonagall sighed and said, "I was going to tell you that.

Traditionally, the dance was started by warriors and their partners.

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

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

Wotian! Little Heavenly Master, in danger!

The faces of several young wizards turned red instantly. They were both nervous and excited. They held their breath and listened to Professor McGonagall as he continued:

"Put on your formal robes when the time comes - 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 speaking, or you can learn from Mr. Longbottom and raise your hand before asking a question."

Ron immediately shrank his neck, and Professor McGonagall glared at him again before letting Ron go:

“The dance will be held in the auditorium at eight o’clock on Christmas evening and will end at twelve midnight.

listen--

The Yule Ball certainly gives us a chance to – well – let our hair down and relax. "

Professor McGonagall finally felt that the young wizards should be given some encouragement so that they could more easily show off the charm of Hogwarts students.

So she forced a smile. This action frightened the little wizards, and they almost ran out of Professor McGonagall's office in terror.

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

They laughed so hard that they burst into tears, but they didn't know what they were laughing at, they just wanted to laugh.

"To be honest, Professor McGonagall's smile at the end was so scary. I felt like she might announce my various violations of school rules at any time."

Ron wiped away his tears, his face was red, he was holding his stomach, and he was laughing so hard that it was difficult to speak.

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

This sentence silenced everyone. Hogwarts was in second place, which meant that except for Zhang who opened the show alone, we were almost everyone's focus.

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

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

As Professor McGonagall once again announced the Yule Ball to everyone after class, the incident spread at an unimaginable speed.

Harry, who had just been discharged from the hospital, didn't have time to celebrate Hogwarts for winning second place, but he found that the heat of the matter had passed.

The number one hot story right now is the Yule Ball.

In the past, only a very small number of people stayed in school for Christmas.

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 are trying to get the warriors to invite them so that they can participate in this unprecedented Christmas. prom.

From the perspective of Harry and others, they are all very obsessed with the upcoming dance - at least all the girls are like this.

For example, Harry was very surprised and privately said that he had never realized that Hogwarts accommodated so many girls before.

Girls giggled and whispered in the hallways, girls laughed shrilly every time a boy walked by, girls excitedly exchanged ideas about what to wear on Christmas night...

The weather was very good today. 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 do they all move in groups?" Harry asked incomprehensibly - 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 said nothing. In fact, he didn't know whether he liked Astoria or not.

It's just that this very beautiful (emphasis added) little girl is too enthusiastic, and her actual age is only one year younger than her. She has been expressing her feelings for her passionately and persistently for a whole year.

Zhang Xiao finally understood that Harry was a scumbag who refused, took the initiative and was irresponsible.

He is the one who covets Astoria’s face!

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

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 stopped by the question, and suddenly felt a little anxious. He knew how to use national standards, but when he was in school, he always thought about the white and soft hands of his female classmates.

Where can I calm down and learn to dance?

Well, he was still making fun of Harry. He was only a teenager at the time, so he was not the same person!

Who to look for? What kind of dance are you doing?

Cedric smiled happily and calmly. After Professor McGonagall told them about the Yule Ball, he immediately made an appointment with Qiu Zhang.

"I don't think you need to worry about your dance partner." Cedric folded his arms and leaned on the stone railing, with a sense of schadenfreude on his handsome face:

"On the contrary, you should be worried that there are too many girls coming to you. As warriors, perform well in the first level. I dare say they will line up to dance with you."

Malfoy pursed his lips and didn't know why he didn't say a word. It looked a little wrong, but the other little wizards thought this was impossible.

Cedric's judgment proved to be very correct.

The very next day, a curly-haired girl from the third year of Hufflepuff House came over and invited Harry in turn - Harry could have sworn 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.

Under Lavender Brown's hot and almost unbearable gaze, Ron ran away.

This time it was Harry's turn to laugh. After he had laughed enough, he said fairly: "Actually, Brown is pretty."

"Did you notice the look in her eyes?" Ron said, still in shock: "She looks like she's going 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 furry hair.

They started to invite her, but Hermione refused them all.

The round-faced Neville also became a handsome man, but Neville also refused. He unexpectedly invited the third-year wizard Luna Lovegood.

Some jealous and crazy girls couldn't believe the news. Why could the '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 just about appearance, Luna is one of the best girls in Hogwarts." Neville explained to his good friends.

Zhang Xiao patted him on the 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 relaxed smile of relief on his face.

After comforting Neville, Zhang Xiao turned to look at Xiao Ma again. Young Master Ma had not thought about food or tea for the past two days, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, 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?"

There was hesitation on Malfoy's pale face: "It's just that I don't dare to do this. I hate my own weakness and want to speak."

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

This is England!

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

However, we still had to explore the bottom first, so the Little Heavenly Master served a bowl of chicken soup with absolutely no water added:

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

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiao added: "Dumbledore said it!"

Malfoy raised his head suddenly, his face glowing slightly red. This was already a sign of extreme excitement.

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

"real!"

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

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

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

ah?

Hermione looked away from the book and blushed a little. She first quietly glanced at her friends to see if they were laughing at her.

Then he said a little embarrassedly:

"But I have already promised someone else."

This time it finally caught everyone's attention. They hurriedly gathered around and asked all kinds of questions:

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

"Who is it? Why didn't you tell us?"

"Tell me quickly and don't keep it a secret."

Zhang Xiao took a breath, it was messy, it was too messy, and he thought about it.

The first is Pony's daughter-in-law in the original book, Astoria - now with Harry.

Then Neville and Luna were also looking forward to it, and Ron suddenly felt nervous because his pockets were bulging.

In addition, he was also a member of the Hogwarts Warriors and had many admirers, which led him to always have thoughts about Fleur.

But this future is your sister-in-law!

Plus Malfoy seems to be in love with Hermione?

Ron————

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

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

Well, Zhang Xiao doesn't care at all. Think 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 work, and it is natural for some changes to occur.

Facing the questions from her friends, Hermione stood up helplessly and shook her shrugged head.

"Oh, what are you talking about? I promised Ginny!"

Ginny?

"Keke, aren't you both girls?"

"I asked Professor McGonagall, and Professor McGonagall thought about it for a long time -" Hermione smiled happily: "She said there is no rule that you can't bring girls to the dance, but that you must dance with boys.

If there is no prohibition, it is allowed.

Ginny also wanted to attend the dance, but she was worried that no one would invite her, so she asked me to take her there. "

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

In fact, Ginny is also a very beautiful girl!

The original plan was for Malfoy and Hermione, but after asking, everyone said they had no objections, but they thought I might be scolded, so after thinking about it, I changed it slightly.
