No sooner had Lawrence and Luna sat down than Parvati Pettil was invited away by a Beauxbatons boy, and Harry didn't even notice Parvati's inquiry—he was intently looking at Cedric Diggory and Zhang Qiu on the other side of the dance floor, and Parvati, who had left, didn't come back until the dance was over, but Hermione, with her cheeks red, was dancing and dancing.

Hey—Hermione looked happy, she sat in the seat that was vacant after Parvati left, the dance was fun, wasn't it?

What about our foreign guests? Lawrence quipped, where did you hide him, Hermione?

Victor went to get a drink - Hermione said, did she have a good time looking at Luna, who had been looking around? Luna. hua-79-

Luna was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ron.

What the hell do you think, Hermione—Ron asked sharply, that was Durmstrand's student, and he was competing with us at Hogwarts—and you, having invited him to be your dance partner?

No, I didn't—it was him, Hermione retorted, her cheeks reddening a little as she said that, it was him, he said he went to the library every day just to find a chance to talk to me, but he couldn't muster up the courage.

Ah, then, he finally mustered up his courage, didn't he? Lawrence said, which made the flush on Hermione's cheeks even more prominent,

That's the problem, I think he's just trying to get close to you so he can spy on Hogwarts, and Ron says he's behind on the first mission, so he's trying to see if there's a chance he can beat us on the second mission

He had never asked Harry or Lawrence a question, and Hermione was 'excited' from her seat, the purpose of the Triwizard Tournament was to get to know foreign wizards and build friendships with them

No, that's not the case, we're here to win! Ron shouted, and he got up from his seat, and neither of them let anyone fight each other,

I still think it's just a smoke bomb between ministries of magic to cover up the dirty underground 'deals' - Luna said, Lawrence and Harry looked at each other for the second time tonight, their eyebrows raised,

Ron, Harry blinked and said, I don't think there's anything wrong with Hermione and Victor Krum going to the ball together

She's a traitor, Ron said angrily, and he said meanly, why hasn't your Vic come to you yet? Their school doesn't have a very good reputation, maybe

Touch! Hermione pushed her chair back violently, angrily entering the dance floor, and disappeared into the crowd.

Hey, if Ginny were here, hearing such nasty words would definitely give you a curse. Full reading of the latest chapters hua Luna jumped up from her seat and disappeared on the dance floor after Hermione,

Do you want to invite me to dance? Padma Petil asked, she was Parvati's sister and Ron's dance partner, she had been sitting quietly on the sidelines, but Ron had been inviting her to dance,

No. Ron replied, and Padma stood up, and without looking back, walked away toward her sister,

Hermione, where? Krum stood at their table with two bottles of 'milk' olebe and asked,

I don't know, Ron replied loudly, you 'got' her 'for' away?

Well, if you see her, tell her I've got a drink

Uh, looking at Krum with a 'gloomy' expression, Lawrence stood up and asked, let's go for a walk?

Krum showed a look of doubt and confusion, but he nodded, and Lawrence walked side by side with him, Lawrence told Krum briefly about the conflict that had just occurred.

So I was left behind by my dance partner as well. Lawrence said, Krum silently handed Lawrence another bottle of 'milk' olebeer, the two collided with each other, drank the drink in their hands, they searched aimlessly on the dance floor, but they couldn't find Hermione and Luna,

Will it get out of there? Krum asked as he pointed to the entrance of the hall, and when the two of them came to the entrance, they found that the large 'door' was open, and the rose 'flower' garden under the stone steps, with bushes and richly decorated winding paths, they entered one of the paths, trying to find their respective dance partners,

You deserve a perfect score. Krum suddenly said without a head,

What? Lawrence didn't react,

Dragons, Krum said simply, I've heard how you passed through the fire dragon, and I think you should get a perfect score, a very powerful spell.

Uh, thanks. Lawrence said, and then the two fell silent.

Let's split up, right? After a while, Lawrence proposed, and Krum nodded silently, and the two parted at the next fork in the road, and soon the footsteps of the other were inaudible.

Lawrence walked casually, flicking the rose bushes from time to time, and then bypassed Hagrid and Madame Maxime, who seemed to be walking, and turned into another path, and then he saw a silver light flashing from the corner in front of him,

Luna? Lawrence shouted, and then he walked quickly around the corner, but the winding path was empty, and there was no one.

Wrong? Lawrence thought so, and came to a small clearing, with a stone brick floor, and a white 'colored' gazebo, and he saw Hermione sitting on the stone steps under the gazebo in a daze, Lawrence went to sit down next to her,

Hey, where did Luna go, Hermione? Lawrence said, "Krum and I are looking for you."

Luna and I were separated, Hermione replied, her voice a little hoarse, we were going to go together, and then Luna kept saying "sass" to the fly? And then after a corner, they were gone

Well, Krum wants us to tell you when we see you—Lawrence said, he deliberately paused until Hermione glared at her, and continued,

Well, if you see her, tell her I've got a drink—but, Lawrence said, he saw Hermione raise an eyebrow when she heard her, so he deliberately stopped again until Hermione was groping for her robes, as if trying to find her wand, and he continued,

But because Luna is gone with you, Lawrence raised the empty beer bottle in his hand, and it is normal for men with common topics to have a drink together.

Hey, that's the drink that was meant to be given to me. Hermione protested,

Hey, that's my dance partner. Lawrence said in her tone, and then they all laughed,

Oh, so you're going to drink my drink like that? Hermione asked with a smile,

Otherwise, what should I do, Lawrence said, or you will return the dance partner to me.

Hermione blinked, then stood up, clasped her arms around her chest, and looked at Lawrence condescendingly,

What are you doing? Lawrence could only look up at Hermione because he was sitting,

Lawrence Rowander, Hermione said, right now in front of you, is a 'girl'.

Uh-oh! Lawrence was stunned for a moment, and then it dawned on him, and he jumped up from the stone steps,

Would it be an honor to invite you to dance? Lawrence asked with a smile, he bent down slightly, and made a gesture to invite dance, Hermione snorted softly in agreement, and put her hand on Lawrence's outstretched palm,

Na – music? Hermione asked,

Uh, I didn't have a wand with me. Lawrence said,

Well? Hermione was a little sleepy, and then she lifted the hem of her skirt and 'exposed' her little 'legs' with her wand strapped to her, (Note 1)

Hermione waved her wand and soft music played, much to Lawrence's relief.

What's wrong? Hermione asked sensitively, she stopped tying her wand back to her little 'leg', didn't like the music?

No, the music is good, Lawrence honestly, I can't do it if it's too light.

Hermione raised an eyebrow, then waved her wand again, then quickly tied it up and flicked the hem of her skirt to smooth them out.

Lawrence smiled bitterly as he listened to the lighter music, but still took Hermione's right hand,

Follow the footsteps - Hermione rarely 'shows' a mischievous smile and follows the rhythm.

The two of them spun around in the little open space in front of the gazebo,

That's when you should take it in stride. Hermione pointed softly, taking a small step at this time, and that was right.

A little more rhythm. Hermione said with a smile,

Oh. Lawrence realized that his face was a little tense, and he couldn't help but laugh, in fact, it was not as difficult as he imagined?

It's not hard, right? Hermione asked,

It's kind of interesting. Lawrence replied, and the music grew softer and softer, and then faded away, and the two of them stopped.

I thought—Hermione said, looking at Lawrence's look of confusion, then shaking her head and saying, nothing.

There was a sound of footsteps in the grove path, and Krum and Luna poked their heads out,

Hermione, Krum said, I've been looking for you for a long time.

Hey, Lawrence. Luna was like they had just met,

It was time for us to go back to the castle, Lawrence looked up at the moon, it was almost midnight, and the ball was almost over.

Author's Note:

Yohehe,

Probably won't be updated tomorrow,

On Monday, I have to fly to Osaka to eat, drink, and play.

10/19~10/24 Leave yo, will not be updated,

10/20 going to Universal Land for a day,

I wondered if I would have spent most of my money in my pocket when I went to Harry's Bothland that day...

Note 1: Hermione's wand is 14 inches, about 35 centimeters (centimeters), so it should make sense to write it that way
