"Potter, Weasley, can you concentrate a bit?" Professor McGonagall roared loudly from the podium.

It was almost the end of Transfiguration class on Thursday afternoon, and Ryan was summarizing the knowledge points in the class because the homework was over, when he was startled by Professor McGonagall's roar.

After a few criticisms of Harry, who was as skinned as Pippi Shrimp, Professor McGonagall began to announce business.

"The Santa Ball is just around the corner – it's a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests. Yes, the ball is only open to students from the fourth year onwards - but you can invite a junior if you wish—"

The audience was instantly agitated, after all, for the students who are in adolescence, the dance party is definitely an exciting activity. Ryan could even hear a few girls laughing.

"Put on your gowns and robes," said Professor McGonagall with a straight face, "and the ball will take place in the Great Hall at eight o'clock on Christmas night and end at twelve o'clock at midnight. ”

At this point, Professor McGonagall glanced solemnly at the excited students below. "Listen – the Santa Ball certainly gives us the opportunity – well-off – to spread our hair and relax ourselves. But that doesn't mean we're going to relax our behaviour requirements for Hogwarts students. I would be very saddened if one of the Gryffindor students disgraced the school in any way. ”

Sure enough, as the real headmaster of Hogwarts (Dumbledore is in charge of the general direction at most, and the specific affairs have been handled by Professor McGonagall. Keep an eye on every student at all times.

After class, Professor McGonagall stops Ryan and Harry and informs them that they need to dance as warriors, so it's important to find a good dance partner and practice how to dance a little bit to avoid making a fool of yourself.

The two of them agreed, and finally got rid of Professor McGonagall's nagging.

Now, not only the usually outgoing Gryffindor students, but the young wizards of the entire school have been aroused, especially the girls.

The girls laughed and whispered in the hallways, laughing loudly whenever a boy walked by, excitedly exchanging ideas about what the saints would wear on Christmas night......

"I think my yellow dress robe is pretty good, and it goes well with your dark blue dress. But seriously, I still think that the dresses and robes of wizards are too old, especially for witches, and they are far less beautiful than ordinary people's evening dresses. It's just that as a warrior's dance partner, I can only dance in this body. ”

Ryan left Professor McGonagall and went straight to invite Hermione, who happily agreed. Later, in the common room, she didn't have anything to do with studying, but pulled Ryan to discuss something related to the ball.

"By the way, do you know how to dance?" Ryan asked, as if he had thought of something, he did know some dances, but they weren't very suitable for dancing at balls.

"There's a bit of ballroom dancing, but I don't know how the wizard's dance needs to be. Looks like we're going to ask Ginny. At this point, Hermione happened to see a red-faced Ginny crawl into the common room from outside. Hermione walked over and said a few words, then invited Ginny over.

"The dance steps of the prom, my mother taught me, should be a waltz. At this point, Ginny glanced at Ryan and Hermione and asked, "You guys should know this, right?"

"Well, not really. "After entering the wizarding world, both of them neglected certain social skills, which led to their proficiency in ballroom dancing being limited to the basics they had learned in elementary school. Of course, such a level is certainly not suitable for dancing at the Christmas ball.

"You two can't dance?" said Ginny with some surprise, after all, in her eyes, Ryan and Hermione were very knowledgeable people, and she really didn't expect that there were simple things they wouldn't know. "Well, Harry won't dance anyway. When the time comes, you can come with him to learn, I can teach you, this is not difficult at all. ”

"Harry?" Ryan's eyes widened.

"yes, Harry came to me and asked me to be his dance partner. Ginny said happily.

No wonder Ginny was so excited when she came over just now, it turned out that when Harry was in a low mood this year, Ginny's company finally made Harry's piece of wood a little enlightened. When he learned that he was going to hold a ball, he invited Ginny as soon as he could.

Over the next few days, whenever they had time, Ryan and Lynn learned to waltz with Ginny. Luckily, Ryan and Hermione had practiced Assassin fighting techniques and had been strengthened, so they learned to dance much faster than Harry. It didn't take two or three days to learn the waltz move.

And Ginny also showed the side of a good wife and mother at this time, even if Harry stepped on her foot many times, she did not complain anything. Instead, he gently pointed out where Harry was jumping wrong.

At this time, the number of dance partners invited became more frequent, such as Fred's invitation to Quidditch's teammate Angelina, and Neville's courage to invite Hannah Abbott as his dance partner at the Sunday book party.

Of course, as a warrior, Ryan also received a lot of invitations, but he declined. Hermione also declined Krum's invitation to her in the library.

"There's a lot of girls lining up to dance with him, and I don't want to annoy people because of that. After watching Krum leave, Hermione said to Ryan in a mischievous tone. "Besides, fame is far less appealing to me than interesting souls."

Hogwarts students and students are constantly showing a desire to impress Beauxbatons and Durmstrang guests, and they seem determined to bring out the best in the castle this Christmas. The school is brightly lit up:

The handrails of the marble staircase are covered with everlasting icicles, and the twelve Christmas trees that are customary in the Great Hall are adorned with all sorts of knick-knacks, from glittering holly to live golden owls chirping incessantly.

The only thing that wasn't so harmonious was Peeves, who would burrow into the armor and fill in the second half of the Christmas carols that the armor couldn't sing, and even provoke the students when they passed through it.

"Well, if you like it, stay inside. "At the end of the day, Peeves was once again singing to a group of first and second graders when they wanted to block out the lyrics. Ryan pulled out the brush and magic ink he had prepared from his school bag, and quickly drew a bunch of runes on the armor while Peeves was in the armor. Peeves soon discovers that he is trapped inside the armor.

"Let me out. Peeves tapped his armor in some panic, but no matter how hard he tried, it didn't move.

"Rest assured, these seals will only keep you inside for half a month. You'll be able to come out after Christmas. Amid Peeves' loud shouting, Ryan said calmly.

"Well done, Ryan. Just then, Professor Sprout passed by, followed by Hagrid, who was carrying an entire Christmas tree. "Professor Hagrid, please move this armor to the warehouse on the second floor, I think it's finally going to be quieter this Christmas. ”
