Chapter 611: An Unexpected Challenge
The news that Hogwarts will be hosting a BallA is like dropping a bomb on calm water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the past, the number of people who stayed in school at Christmas was always very small.
This year is different, and it seems that all the students above the fourth grade are going to stay.
As for the first to third graders, they are also trying to stay and enter the dance.
Everyone is obsessed with the upcoming prom, at least all the girls.
The boys were amazed to find that Hogwarts had so many girls.
They were all dressed up and looked more beautiful and eye-catching than ever. The girls ate and laughed and whispered in the hallways, laughed loudly whenever a boy walked by, excitedly exchanging ideas and talking about what to wear on Christmas night......
"I don't understand these girls!" Ron said with a sigh.
"yes, why are they all moving in groups?!" Harry followed, "If this is the case, how can we wait until they are alone and catch one of them to make a request?"
At this moment, a dozen or so girls walked by, they looked at Harry and Ron, and secretly giggled,
"Maybe you can use a noose to slip one!" Ron said hesitantly, "Have you thought of who to invite?"
Harry didn't answer, he knew exactly who he was willing to invite, but not having the courage was something else.
You know, Cho Chang is a year older than him, very good-looking, and a very good Quidditch player.
Her popularity is also very good, and it seems to be ......
"I haven't figured out who to invite yet, but you should have no problem, Ron!" Harry finally said, "You're a warrior, you've just defeated the dragon, and there should be plenty of people lining up to dance with you." ā
"Hopefully, Evan must be with Hermione, and he won't have to worry about this!"
Ron's prediction wasn't accurate at all, and Evan was worried about it.
He had expected Hermione to invite him, they had been through so much together, and he was definitely Hermione's dance partner.
But in fact, this is not the case, and Hermione has not said anything about this matter since the day the news was announced.
She didn't talk to Evan about the prom, and even whenever Evan brought up the topic, she just left.
Looking at Hermione's appearance, she was purely concentrating on studying house-elves as if nothing had happened.
What the hell is going on, the girl's mind is really hard to guess!
It wasn't that Evan was short of invitations from girls, she just wanted Hermione to invite him.
With Aiwen's fame and performance in school, he has long become one of the ideal dance partners in the minds of many girls.
Just as he and Colin were rushing to the Transfiguration class, a fifth-year Ravenclaw college girl offered to invite Evan to join her to the prom, the third of the day, and they had never spoken before.
Ai Wen refused without even thinking about it, and the girl walked away, looking hurt.
"Actually, she's pretty good-looking. Colin said fairly, looking at the girl's forehead.
"Forget it, she's so much taller than me, I don't like girls taller than me!" replied Aven.
"If only someone invited me, my brother and I would like to go to the ball. ā
When it comes to the Santa Ball, Colin and his brother Dennis have other worries.
Neither of them is old enough, and they have to find a senior girl who is willing to invite them.
Otherwise, they can't go to the Yule Ball and have to go home.
Or worse, lying in the bedroom on Christmas Day......
Neither Colin nor Dandys gave up and were actively looking for opportunities.
But truth be told, the chances of them wanting to attend the ball are very low, and Hogwarts currently has a distinctly male and female student population.
Girls in grades 1 to 3 face the same problem, but they are in a better position.
Purely in terms of the ratio of men to women, many of them have the opportunity to attend the ball.
In this case, it is necessary to take the initiative, and the girls in the lower grades are looking for suitable candidates.
For example, Krum is the most popular, and many girls like him because he is a warrior and is very famous.
They gathered around Krum, looking for every possible opportunity to rush up and introduce themselves......
Ginny didn't run around the castle with the girls in her grade, looking for hot candidates.
This made Colin very confused, but Evan knew what was going on with Ginny.
She loved Harry, and until now, she wanted to be Harry's dance partner.
The odds were also low, and Harry didn't have that idea of Ginny at all.
He now gets together with Ron every day and mutters things that don't work.
"Quiet!" said Professor McGonagall, patting the lectern and unhappily, "I know what you're all thinking, but please don't bring that emotion into class, and if anyone is paying attention, I'll send them out!"
The blackboard was filled with text, and the lesson focused on how Transfiguration Charms had to be adjusted when transitioning across species.
It's a very important thing, but it's not on everyone's mind.
Professor McGonagall spoke, and after seeing that everyone was concentrating, she turned around and explained the point.
She didn't let the students sit idle until the last second before class ended when she was practicing in groups.
As Christmas approached, it became increasingly difficult for students to stabilize their emotions.
It is becoming more and more difficult to concentrate and listen to lectures.
Some teachers, such as the small Professor Flitwick, simply stopped teaching when they saw that their classmates were clearly absent-minded.
But many professors, like Professor McGonagall, are not so eloquent.
For example, Professor Binns's attention could not be diverted, and he continued to trude through his pile of goblin rebellious notes, and his classmates speculated that since Professor Binns had not allowed his death to stop him from continuing to teach, it was impossible for a small matter like the Christmas Ball to distract him.
It's strange that he could talk about a bloody, thrilling goblin rebellion as dry as Percy's Crucible Report.
Not to mention the period Pu, he adjusted the content of all grades of Potions class to boiling antidotes.
He looked at the young wizards with gloomy eyes and told them grimly that he was going to poison one of the students in the last potions class of the semester to test their antidote.
