Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 178: Who is whose dance partner? plus
In the past, the number of students who enrolled in school during the Christmas period was always a very small part, because everyone wanted to go home and enjoy the holiday atmosphere with their families.
Okay, I actually want to let go of it, because there is always this kind of restraint in Hogwarts.
But Harry always stayed at school for Christmas, because if he didn't, he would have to go back to Privet Drive, and he didn't want to face his uncle and aunt who didn't like him.
But this year is different. All the students above the fourth grade seem to stay!
In Harry's opinion, they are all very obsessed with the upcoming dance—at least that's the case with all the girls.
He was suddenly surprised to find that Hogwarts had accommodated so many girls, which he hadn't noticed before.
The girls were laughing and whispering in the hallway. The girls shrieked whenever a boy walked by. The girls exchanged opinions excitedly, talking about what clothes to wear for Christmas...
"Why are they all moving in groups?" Harry asked Ron—at this moment, a dozen girls passed by. They looked at Harry and smirked secretly, "What are you doing? Can we wait for them to act alone and grab one to make a request?"
"Lose one with a noose?" Ron suggested, "Did you think about whom you would invite?"
Harry did not answer. He knows who he is willing to invite, but whether he can muster up the courage is another matter...Choo Zhang is one year above him, looks very beautiful, and is a very good Quidditch player. Her popularity Also very good.
Ron seemed to see through Harry's heart.
"Listen, you won't have any trouble. Are you a warrior. You just killed the crazy dragon and lion, I dare say-they will line up to dance with you!"
Ron's voice has a strong bitterness.
Probably because of Maca's call, Ron has finally let go of his depression.
At first, he wasn't quite used to it, because it would undoubtedly expose his inferiority complex. But gradually, he himself discovered the benefits of doing this: he gradually became more daring to do certain things that he dared not do in the past.
"Go and invite bravely, Harry!" He patted his best friend on the shoulder and whispered, "Maybe I can get the light too!"
Harry was surprised to find that Ron’s judgment proved to be very correct.
On the second day, a curly-haired girl in the third grade of Hufflepuff College—Harry had never spoken to her before, and offered to invite Harry to go to the prom with her.
Harry was so surprised that he refused without even thinking about it.
probably because his words were too direct, the girl walked away, looking hurt.
Throughout the history of magic, Harry had to endure Dean and Seamus's sarcasm and ridicule of the girl, and Ron, who was always one of them, didn't get involved this time.
"Maca is right. I used to focus on my own thoughts and ignore the feelings of others too much." Ron looked at Dean and Seamo, and raised his eyebrows, thinking hard, "That girl If you hear them laughing at yourself like this, I will definitely feel uncomfortable... But what would she think specifically..."
Ron’s change is very obvious. Although he still doesn’t quite understand how to "emphasize", one day, this change will bring him unexpected benefits.
The next day, two more girls came to invite Harry. One was in the second grade, and the other—Harry was horrified to discover that she turned out to be in the fifth grade!
Looking at her like that, it seemed that if Harry dared to refuse, she would immediately knock him out.
"She is pretty." Ron laughed enough and said impartially, "And the personality is very similar to the former Hufflepuff beauty Witt, isn't it?"
"She's a foot taller than me!" Harry said in shock, "Imagine I dance with her...that's not a fool!"
Harry often thinks of Hermione’s words about Maca: "They like him because he is famous!"
Harry doubted that if he were not a warrior in the school, the girls who invited him as a dance partner would still go to the dance party with him.
Then he asked himself again, if Qiu Zhang actively invited him, would he still consider this question?
"Wait!" Because of his own mood at this time, Harry suddenly seemed to understand something, "Could it be that Hermione...likes Maca!"
"Did you just understand it?" Ron sighed dejectedly.
"But--oh--" Harry's eyes and mouth were opened to the largest extent, and even his nostrils expanded in surprise. "Merlin's pants...no, I mean, Merlin's beard! This is! ..."
Ron felt that now he could say anything, but it was this matter that he really didn't want to mention at all.
"Don't think about it, put it in your heart!" His tone was a little frustrated, as if he was speaking to Harry, or to himself.
"Hmm..." Harry closed his mouth and said with a complex expression, "I think...well! No matter what they are, we are still best friends."
"Yeah, that's it..." Ron echoed dully.
Harry’s dancing partner is up in the air—believe me, it’s not so easy for him to find his partner! But this time, Maca was also a little hesitant about her dance partner.
As far as he knows, Luna has never been very interested in dancing. Compared to this, it might be more attractive for her to wear a puppet and wave the flag next to her.
But, besides Luna, who else can he invite?
"Villy?"
He just had this idea, but it was extinguished in a blink of an eye.
"Dancing with two facial paralysis?" Maca immediately shook his head, "The picture is too beautiful, so forget it..."
is so, it seems that there is only one left...
This is the last week of the semester, and the school is getting bustling and noisy day by day.
There are rumors about the Christmas ball, most of which are hard to believe—for example, Dumbledore bought eight hundred barrels of fragrant mead from Rosemerta with Three Broomsticks.
However, everyone is always happy with these rumors. Who cares if it is true? It is enough to be able to talk about these interesting topics.
But there is one piece of news that sounds like that: Dumbledore seems to have booked the Weird Sisters to hold a concert at Hogwarts.
Those little wizards who have listened to N since childhood are extremely excited, because the Sisters of Weird is indeed one of the most popular wizard bands in these years.
"Weird sister, that's so cool!"
Some teachers, such as the little Professor Flitwick, saw that the students were obviously absent-minded, so they simply stopped teaching.
He allowed them to play games in his class on Wednesday, but he spent most of his time talking to Harry and Hermione, talking about the two wonderful things they used in the first event of the Triwizard Tournament. The flying curse.
But other teachers are not so easy to talk.
For example, Professor Bins’s attention cannot be diverted, and he continues to trudge through his pile of goblin rebellion notes.
The students speculated that since Professor Bins did not let his death stop him from continuing to teach, it would be impossible for him to be distracted by small things like Christmas.
It’s really strange to say that even though Professor Bins can always talk about bloody, thrilling goblin rebellion as boring as Percy’s bottom of the crucible report, one person still often comes in and listens to the class seriously.
That person is Maca. He may not be interested in other lessons, but every time he has time, he will still go to the magic history classroom to listen carefully for a while.
It’s just that under normal circumstances, he would only sit at the back secretly, without disturbing anyone. In that sleepy magic history class, indeed few people would notice him.
Professor McGonagall and Moody also don't let the students idle, they always talk until the last second before get out of class ends.
And not to mention Snape, he would rather adopt Harry as a godson than let his classmates play games in class.
He looked at the class with gloomy eyes and told them that he would test their antidote in the last class of the semester.
"He's really bad," Ron said angrily in the Gryffindor common room that night, "test us on the last day. Use a lot of homework to ruin the last little time of the semester~IndoMTL .com~ Hmm... Actually you didn't work too hard, did you?" Hermione poked her head and looked at Ron from the top of the mess of books.
Right now, Ron is busy building a castle with his crackling exploding cards! Hearing a sudden conversation from Hermione, his hand shook, the castle halfway up to him shook slightly, and then it exploded.
"Oh—" Ron wiped his blackened face vigorously, and muttered, "I've been working hard recently."
"This is Christmas, Hermione." Harry said lazily. He was sitting in an armchair by the fire, reading the book he had read nine times.
Hermione looked at him with serious eyes again.
"Harry, I think you will do something more creative even if you don't want to learn antidote!"
"Like what?" Harry asked as he watched Joey Jenkens of the Artillery hit a roaming ball hard at a chaser of the Barry Fort Barry Bats.
"Your box!" Hermione gritted her teeth and whispered, "This is important, isn't it?"
"Well, Hermione, we can rest until February 24th--"
His attention was focused on the book in front of him, he said casually, and would confiscate it if he didn't pay attention.
"Also, have you invited Maca? I don't think Maca will refuse you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, but the words had been exported, but he obviously couldn't get them back.
"I will not invite him."
Hermione's unusual calmness made Harry feel a little creepy.
