As Christmas approached, the desire of Hogwarts students and students to impress Beauxbatons and Durmstrang was evident in their desire to impress the guests of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang by decorating the school with lights, the handrails of the marble staircase covered with everlasting icicles, and the twelve Christmas trees in the Great Hall adorned with all sorts of knick-knacks, from glittering holly to live golden owls chirping incessantly.

Even the armor in the hallway was enchanted, and whenever someone passed by, they would sing Christmas carols, and he once heard an empty helmet sing "Oh, come on, you pious people", which was very funny.

And that's not the most interesting part, sometimes the armor only knows half of the lyrics, and Filch has to drag Peeves out of the armor, because Peeves is hiding inside, and when the armor can't sing, he makes up some lyrics to fill in, which are very rough and ugly, which obviously makes the school administrators very unhappy.

On Friday, when Darren returned to the Gryffindor common room, Hermione rushed over, "Great, you're back," knowing that Penelope would leave every day after dinner.

"What's wrong?"

"The dress for the Santa Ball," Hermione said happily, followed by a large cardboard box, "I sent it today, try it out." ”

After opening the box, Darren saw that there was a robe inside, which looked similar to his school uniform robe, but the color was not black, but dark blue, the clothing style of the wizarding world was too poor, except that the robe was a robe, but in fact, ordinary people were similar, men's dresses were suits in addition to suits, but suits were better for dancing than robes, at least they could distinguish between men and women......

Darren picked up the gown and compared it on his body, and found that the size was quite right, "Your eyes are quite accurate, and the number is just right," he looked at the pattern on the robe, which was really too bland.

"Oh, I measured, of course. ”

"Quantity?" Darren was a little strange, and suddenly understood that Hermione must be Penelope, what did these two guys do to Darren's body......

"Very good, thank you, it's going to look good at the prom, by the way, what about yours?"

"I've tried it, but I won't wear it until prom. ”

“……”

Darren packed his gown, only to see Harry and Ron sitting in a corner in the distance, both pale and apocalyptic, and Ginny sitting next to them, whispering something as if to comfort them.

"What's wrong? them!" Darren asked Hermione, tilting his head in Harry and Ron's direction.

"I don't know, they didn't go to dinner," Hermione helped Darren put the clothes into the box, carefully laying them out to prevent wrinkles.

"Why would I do that?" Ron said suddenly, but with a confused look on his face, "I don't know how I could do that!"

"What?" Darren walked towards Harry and Ron's place, leaving Hermione there.

"He, well, he just invited Fleur Delacour to the ball with him," Ginny said, apparently trying to hold back her laughter, but still patting Ron's arm sympathetically, Ron and Fleur, well, it's funny, but Ron has already shown that he has little resistance to Murphy.

"I don't know how I could do such a thing!" Ron gasped, "What am I kidding? It's all people, it's crowded, I'm so dizzy, everybody's watching! I met her as I walked through the foyer, she was standing there talking to Diggory, and I suddenly couldn't control myself, so I went up to her and asked her!"

Ron groaned, covering his face with his hands. He was still talking, but he could barely hear it.

She looked at me like I was a sea cucumber or something, and didn't bother to answer...... Then, I didn't know it, so I suddenly came to my senses and ran away. ”

"She's a part of Meiwa's blood," said Harry, "you're right - her grandmother is Meiwa, it's not your fault, I dare say she was doing that magic on Diggory, you happened to pass by, and you were hit, but this time it was in vain, Diggory and Cho Chang went with him." ”

Ron looked up at Harry, "I just asked her to come with me," Harry said dryly, "and she told me." ”

Ginny suddenly stopped laughing...... Harry went to find her, and judging by Harry's current appearance, the result was obvious.

"It's ridiculous," Ron said, "and we're left with no dancing partners - by the way, except for Neville, by the way, guess who he invited?"

"What?"

“…… Told me after Potions class...... Hermione told him that she had promised someone else. She just didn't want to go with Neville...... I mean, who's going to invite her?" said Neville, and Ron seemed to forget about his invitation to Fleur, and spoke so neatly that Harry laughed along.

"Don't laugh!" Ginny said angrily, looking at Hermione walking behind Darren, "Don't laugh—"

"What are you laughing at?" Hermione packed up Darren's gown and walked over.

"Because—stop laughing, you two—because they both invited the girl to the ball, and they both refused!" said Ginny.

Harry and Ron immediately stopped talking.

"Thank you, Ginny. Ron said in a weird way.

"Pretty girls are all snatched up, aren't they, Ron? ”

Ron glared at Hermione suddenly, "Hermione, Neville is right, you're a good girl......"

Hermione's face flushed when she heard Ron mention Neville, pulled Radaren, and whispered, "I turned him down, he didn't know I promised to be your dance partner." ”

"It's normal, you don't know who has found a dance partner, I'm not like I'm constantly being searched every day, and I'm surprised if no one picks you," Darren smiled and lowered his voice to Hermione, "In that case, it means that my vision is too bad." ”

Speaking of which, Neville was the only one among the Hogwarts students who came to Hermione, especially the Gryffindors, who were all blind, and actually put her and Sister Petyr on the same level, what kind of taste is this!

And Darren is much more popular, Penelope has to complain to him every day about being pestered by girls, and he can't put a sign on his head and write "already have a dance partner", I don't know if Hermione never said anything to him because she knew that it was not Darren......
