The teachers and students of Hogwarts are constantly showing their desire to impress the guests of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, who seem determined to show the best of the castle on this Christmas.

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

The handrails of the marble staircase are covered with icicles that never change. The twelve Christmas trees that are often placed in the auditorium are decorated with a variety of gadgets, from shiny holly fruit to no Stopping the golden owl.

Those armor are applied magic, and as soon as someone passes, they will sing Christmas carols.

To be honest, when you listen to an empty helmet and sing “Oh, come on, you devout people,” that makes people feel really funny.

Originally, armor only knows half of the lyrics. The concierge Filch had to take Peeves out of his armor several times because Peeves was hiding inside, and every time the armor couldn’t sing, he made some lyrics to fill it in.

Believe me, it’s all very ugly words.

However, just as everyone was busy with this Christmas, Hermione was hiding in the bedroom alone, and brief remark looked at the flat gift box resting on her bed.

This gift box has no ribbons and decorations, but is tied with a thin rope – this is obviously not a gift from someone else.

On the cover of the gift box, there is a line of text: wear the elegant dress, do the “best” wizard!

This was sent by an owl early today.

When the package containing the gift box was lightly placed in front of Hermione, she didn’t even finish the breakfast, and returned to the bedroom with the parcel.

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

“…not supposed to, now is not the time to think about it.” She murmured, raised her hand and gently lowered it.

After a few visits, she simply picked up the gift box and stuffed it under the bed.

Hermione has a lot of trouble here, and Harry and Ron aren’t too good now – they are very anxious.

Even if he doesn’t have a partner, Ron won’t be as big as him. But Harry is different – he has to take the lead with other champions to start dancing!

“I think Moaning Myrtle is always there.” Harry looked a little self-defeating.

“Harry – we have to bite our teeth out.” Listening to Ron’s tone, as if they were planning to break an invulnerable to attack fortress, “When we return to the common room tonight, we must all find a partner.” deal?”

“Hmm… well,” Harry said.

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

He remembers very clearly, a total of three times!

One time during the break, one at lunch, and one on the way to the A History of Magic class. However, every time she saw her, she was always surrounded by many friends.

Is she never going anywhere alone? Maybe he can hit her ambush when she goes to the bathroom? No – she even follows the four or five students when she goes to the bathroom!

But if Harry is going to take no action, she will definitely be invited by others.

In the Snape potion class test, he found it difficult to concentrate on thinking, and forgot to add a main ingredient – fecal stone, which means he can only get the lowest score.

But he didn’t care about it anymore. Now he is busy with courage and ready to take decisive action!

When the bell rang, he grabbed his bag and rushed toward the door of the underground classroom.

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

“As long as you ask Qiu Zhang a sentence separately, it’s as simple as that… It’s that simple!”

He hurried through the crowded corridor to find her silhouette. Unexpectedly, he saw her almost at a turn. At this point, she is coming out of the classroom of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

“Well – Autumn Zhang? Can I tell you a word?”

The Ministry of Magic should introduce a new bill, which stipulates that no one is allowed to laugh! Because the girls around Qiu Zhang giggled.

Fortunately, Qiu Zhang himself did not laugh.

She said “Okay,” and then followed Harry to the place where her classmates couldn’t hear.

Harry turned to look at her, and suddenly there was a strange groan in his heart, as if he had stepped down the stairs when he went downstairs.

“Yeah.” He yelled at me.

He can’t ask, he can’t even open his mouth… but he must ask! Qiu Zhang is standing in front of him, looking at him with a confused look – the arrow is already on the full hunting bow!

That sentence blurted out from Harry, and said incoherently, the words did not have time to bite.

“Become a companion…follow me!”

“Sorry, what do you say?” Autumn Zhang Zhang took a look.

“You – would you like to go to the dance with me?” Harry asked.

This sentence was finally clearly asked by him, but why did he blush? why!

“Hey!” Autumn Zhang’s face was also red, “Hey, Harry, I am really sorry,” she looked at him frankly. “I have said that I have to go with another person.”

“Hey,” Harry said.

It feels weird: before 1 point, he felt that the internal organs were crawling like snakes; but now, suddenly, he felt that his internal organs seemed to be hollowed out.

“Oh, okay,” he said. “It doesn’t matter.”

“I am really sorry,” she said again.

“It’s okay,” Harry said.

They stood there and looked at each other, then Qiu Zhang whispered: “That, that’s it -“

“Yes,” Harry said.

“Well, goodbye.” Autumn Zhang’s face was still very red. She moved two steps backwards and then turned and left.

Harry stopped her from behind – he didn’t want to do this, or he didn’t have time to stop himself from doing this.

“who are you going with?”

“Hey – Cedric,” she said, “Cedric Diggory.”

“Oh, okay.” Harry.

His internal organs seemed to be back, but he felt that they had just been taken up with lead, and now they could not fall down in his stomach.

Harry forgot the dinner to be thorough. He slowly walked back to the Gryffindor common room upstairs, and every time he took a step, he heard the sound of Qiu Zhang in his ear:

“Cedric – Cedric Diggory -“

Yeah yeah… Cedric is the Seeker and Captain of the Hufflepuff team, it’s no worse than him… Cedric is tall and handsome, he can’t compare… Cedric is gentle, and his popularity is much better than him… Cedric…

“But I am the champion of Hogwarts!”

Harry suddenly thought dissatisfied: Cedric is actually a useless handsome guy, his mind is not enough to fill an egg shell!

“Hey–” he thought about it, couldn’t help but sighed, “Okay, my champion is also inexplicable…”

“The light of the mirror.” He said dryly to the fat lady – the password was changed the day before.

“Right, yes, dear!” she said with a tremolo, licking the gold and silver hair band on her new line, turning forward and letting him in.

In the common room, Harry looked around all around and was surprised to see Ron sitting stiffly in a corner. Ginny sat beside him and spoke to him with a low voice, as if he was comforting him.

“What’s the matter, Ron?” Harry asked, walking towards them.

Ron looked up at Harry with a frightened look on his face.

“I am too anxious…” He lost his heart. “I have been thinking about the partner, I just didn’t know how-“

“What?” Harry asked.

“He – um – he just invited Fleur Delacour to go to the ball with him.” Ginny seemed to be trying to hold back the laugh, but still ruthlessly patted Ron’s arm.

“What happened to you?”

Harry wanted to say – you are crazy about it, but you can’t live up to your good friend. But who can think of it, that is really stupid.

“I don’t know how I can do this!” Ron sighed heavily. “What jokes are I doing? There are people – crowded with people – I am really fainted – everyone is Look!”

“I met her when I walked through the hallway – she stood there talking to Diggory – I suddenly couldn’t control myself – just went up and asked her!”

He looked very annoyed and slammed his face: “Maybe after that day, everything is going well… I think I seem to be arrogant.”

“Oh, I remembered… she did have a part of Veela’s bloodline,” Harry said. “You were right – her grandma is Veela.”

“Listen to me, it’s not your fault – I dare say she was applying the magic to Diggory, and you happened to pass and was hit -“

“But…” Harry said that he couldn’t help but pause. “This is a waste of time, because Diggory and Qiu Zhang go together.”

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

“I just asked her to go with me,” Harry said dryly. “She told me.”

Ginny next to him suddenly didn’t smile.

“There are only two of us who don’t have a partner-” Ron said. “Oh–right, except Neville! But, really, Neville hasn’t been quite right this semester. I went home last time. I asked. He is, but he refuses to say anything.”

Just then, Hermione climbed in through the hole in the portrait.

“Oh-Hermione–” Ron suddenly opened his eyes, because now he has the feeling of being a guilty conscience.

“Why don’t you both go to dinner?” She came over and sat down in the armchair next to her.

“because–“

When Ginny just said the beginning, he was stunned by his big brother.

“Nothing!” Ron shook his head hard, even though he didn’t know why he was doing it – didn’t he decide to give up?
