Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 179: Gift box under the bed

The teachers and students at Hogwarts continue to show a desire to impress the guests of Busbarton and Durmstrang, and they seem determined to show the best of the castle this Christmas.

The school was arranged very carefully by everyone. It can be said that this castle has never been so beautiful!

The handrails of the marble stairs are hung with icicles that never melt. The twelve Christmas trees that are usually placed in the auditorium are decorated with all kinds of knick-knacks, from shiny holly fruit , To the golden owl that keeps chirping.

The armors are all enchanted, and they will sing Christmas carols whenever someone passes by.

To be honest, it feels really funny when an empty helmet sings "Oh, come on, you pious people".

In the original words, Armor only knew half of the lyrics. The janitor Filch had to pull Pippi out of the armor several times, because Pippi was hiding in it, and whenever the armor couldn't sing, he would compose some lyrics to fill it in.

Trust me, it's all very rough and ugly words.

However, while everyone was busying around for this Christmas, Hermione hid alone in the dormitory, silently looking at the flat gift box lying on her bed.

This gift box does not have ribbons or decorations, but is tied with a thin string-this is obviously not a gift from someone else.

There is a line printed on the lid of the gift box: Wear elegant clothes and be a "superior" wizard!

This was sent by an owl early this morning.

When the package with this gift box was placed in front of Hermione by the trained owl, she didn't even finish breakfast, and returned to the bedroom with the package.

Until now, she has not opened this exquisite gift box.

"...It shouldn't be, now is not the time to think about this." She muttered to herself, raising her hand and lowering it gently.

After just coming and going a few times, she simply picked up the gift box again and stuffed it under the bed.

Hermione has a lot of thoughts on this side, and Harry and Ron are not doing well now—they are already very anxious.

Ron wouldn't make a fool of himself even if he didn't have a partner. But Harry is different-he has to take the lead in dancing with the other warriors!

"The Myrtle I want to cry is always there." Harry looked a little bit arrogant.

"Harry--we have to grit our teeth." Listening to Ron's tone, it was as if they were planning to break a solid fortress. "When we return to the common room tonight, we must find them all. Dance partner-it's settled?"

"Um... well," Harry said.

On that day, Harry saw the lovely and charming Qiu Zhang several times.

He remembers it clearly, three times in total!

One time during breaks, one time during lunch, and one time on the way to the history of magic. However, every time I see her, she is always surrounded by many friends.

Don't she never go somewhere alone? Maybe he can hit her in an ambush while she is in the bathroom? No way-even if she goes to the bathroom, she is surrounded by four or five students!

But if Harry were to stop taking action, she would definitely be invited by others.

In Snape’s potions class quiz, he found it difficult to concentrate. As a result, he forgot to add a main ingredient-dung stone, which meant he could only get the lowest score.

But he didn't care about it anymore. Now he is busy plucking up the courage and preparing to take decisive action!

As soon as the school bell rang, he grabbed his schoolbag and rushed towards the door of the underground classroom.

"See you at the dinner table." He said to Ron and Hermione, who was more silent than usual, and rushed upstairs.

"Just ask Qiu Zhang a single sentence, it's that simple...it's that simple!"

He hurried across the crowded corridor, looking for her. Unexpectedly, he saw her almost on the turn. At this moment, she was walking out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Well-Qiu Zhang? Can I have a word with you?"

The Ministry of Magic should introduce a new bill, which stipulates that people are not allowed to "chuck"! Because the girls around Qiu Zhang giggled.

Fortunately, Qiu Zhang himself did not smile.

She said "Okay" and followed Harry to a place her classmates could not hear.

Harry turned to look at her, and a strange convulsion suddenly appeared in his heart, as if he had stepped down a step when he went downstairs.

"Hmm." He hesitated.

He can't ask, he can't even open his mouth...but he has to ask! Qiu Zhang is standing in front of him now, looking at him with a confused expression-the arrow is already on Zhang Man's hunting bow!

The sentence blurted out from Harry, speaking incoherently, without time to grasp the pronunciation.

"Be company...follow me!"

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Qiu Zhang was taken aback.

"You—would you like to go to the prom with me?" Harry asked.

He finally asked this sentence clearly, but why did he blush? why!

"Oh!" Qiu Zhang's face flushed, "Oh, Harry, I'm really sorry," she looked at him frankly, "I've already said I'm going with another person. ."

"Oh." Harry said.

This feels really weird: a minute ago, he felt that his internal organs were squirming like a snake; but now, suddenly, he felt that his internal organs were hollowed out.

"Oh, okay," he said, "it's okay."

"I'm really sorry." She said again.

"It's okay," Harry said.

They stood there looking at each other, and then Qiu Zhang said in a low voice: "Well, let's do it—"

"Sure." Harry said.

"Well, goodbye." Qiu Zhang's face was still red, and she moved two steps back, then turned and left.

Harry stopped her from behind—he didn't want to do it, or he didn't have time to stop him from doing it.

"Who are you going with?"

"Oh-Cedric," she said, "Cedric Diggory."

"Oh, all right." Harry.

His internal organs seemed to be back again, but he felt that they had been taken and filled with lead just now, and they were falling in his stomach at this moment.

Harry forgot about dinner. He walked slowly back to the Gryffindor common room upstairs, every step he took, Qiu Zhang's voice echoed in his ears:

"Cedric—Cedric Diggory—"

Yes, yes... Cedric is the seeker and captain of the Hufflepuff team, that's not worse than him... Cedric is tall and handsome, he can’t compare... Cedric is gentle and gentle , The popularity is much better than him... Cedric...

"But I am the warrior of Hogwarts!"

Harry suddenly thought with dissatisfaction: Cedric is actually a useless handsome guy, his brain is not enough to fill an eggshell!

"Hey—" he thought, he couldn't help but sighed, "Well, I am a warrior who got it inexplicably..."

"The light of the fairy mirror." He said dryly to the fat lady--the password was changed the day before.

"That's right, that's right, my dear!" She said with a vibrato, stroked her newly fastened lurex headband, and turned away to let him in.

Entering the common room, Harry looked around and was surprised to see Ron sitting stiffly in a corner in the distance. Ginny sat beside him, talking to him in a very low voice, as if comforting him.

"What's the matter, Ron?" Harry asked, walking towards them.

Ron looked up at Harry, with a look of horror on his face.

"I'm too anxious..." he said blankly, "I've been thinking about the partner, I just didn't know how--"

"What?" Harry asked.

"He—um—he just invited Fleur Delacour to the prom with him." Ginny seemed to be holding back her laugh desperately, but she still patted Ron's arm sympathetically.

"What's the matter with you?"

Harry wanted to say--what are you going crazy, but that would be too sorry for his good friend. But, who can think of it, it's so stupid.

"I don't know how I would do such a thing!" Ron sighed heavily, "What am I kidding? There are people—full of people—I'm really fainted. Head-everyone is watching!"

"I met her as I walked through the hall—she was standing there and talking to Diggory—and I suddenly couldn’t control myself—so I stepped forward and asked her!"

He looked very upset and rubbed his face vigorously and said: "It may be that after that day, everything went so well...I feel like I'm...arrogant."

"Oh, I remember...she does have a part of Veeva lineage," Harry said. "You were right in the first place-her grandmother is Veeva."

"Listen to me, it's not your fault—I dare you to say that she was doing that magic on Diggory, and you happened to pass by and you were hit--"

"But..." Harry said here~IndoMTL.com~ couldn't help but pause before continuing, "She was in vain this time, because Diggory went with Qiu Zhang."

Ron raised his head suddenly and looked at Harry in surprise.

"I just asked her to go with me," Harry said dryly, "she told me."

Suddenly, Ginny stopped smiling.

"The only thing left is that we have no partners—" Ron said, "Oh—yes, except for Neville! But, to be honest, Neville hasn’t been quite right this semester, and asked for leave last time. Home-I asked him, but he wouldn't say anything."

Just then, Hermione crawled in through the hole behind the portrait.

"Oh—Hermione—" Ron suddenly looked away, because now, he felt a guilty conscience.

"Why don't you two go to dinner?" She walked over and sat in the armchair next to her.

"Because--"

Ginny's words just started, when her brother was busy covering her mouth.

"Nothing!" Ron shook his head vigorously, even if he didn't know why he did it--had he already decided to give up?
