Chapter Twenty-Four: Square Dance
A Christmas ball?
Zhang Hao almost forgot, he was too busy!
Again, as his ability grows, the responsibility on his shoulders seems to become heavier and heavier.
He is also interested in more and more things, and there always seems to be endless topics to study.
Oh! The Magic Fortress project hasn't started yet!
"Professor, more reminders from you!" Zhang Hao held his forehead and said, "If you don't say it, I really forgot about this!"
"So," warned Professor McGonagall, holding up her finger, "find your partner as soon as possible, and practice carefully." You're the brightest warrior of all, don't disgrace Hogwarts!"
Zhang Hao reassured, "Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, I will definitely be the most dazzling wizard at the ball." β
Professor McGonagall was pleased, and she sighed, "Dancing is something that Harry looks very unreliable. Hogwarts is counting on you and Cedric, don't let us down. β
I have to say that this deputy principal really can't see Hogwarts lose face at all, but she is so concerned about a small dance party, Zhang Hao doesn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, Professor, I won't disgrace Hogwarts. β
To put it mildly, Professor McGonagall finally let Zhang Hao go.
Since Zhang Hao agreed to Professor McGonagall, he had to take the matter of the Christmas Ball to heart.
Don't think about it β Daphne is the best candidate.
There's no one in all of Hogwarts who is more beautiful than Daphne!
It's just that they have never danced together, and they don't cooperate at all, so they really need to practice well, at least there should be a tacit understanding.
After making up his mind, Zhang Hao went to Daphne to talk about it.
He pondered for a moment, then made his way to the library.
It's past four o'clock in the afternoon, Slytherin has no classes this afternoon, and Daphne has a good chance of reading in the library.
The little girl is as diligent as a school bully now, and Hermione is sometimes ashamed of herself.
Zhang Hao was a little distressed, Daphne must be distracted by studying, so she probably wouldn't think about it so much.
"Hey, the world has the law of both, not to live up to Lilith and Daphne? Forget it! Now is not the time to think about the relationship between children and daughters, maybe when the end will come?"
Before Zhang Hao walked to the library, he saw the members of Dawn coming towards him.
"Hey, you guy, are you finally willing to come out of the Room of Need?" Draco teased, "You probably don't know that one of the ladies in our team is waiting for you to invite!"
Zhang Hao glanced at Daphne and found that Daphne was peeking at him.
"Ahem!" he coughed dryly, nonchalantly "Draco, are you too lenient?
"You don't have to doubt my strength," Draco said smugly, "even if Potter and Weasley are tied together, they are definitely no match for me." β
"Draco, are you provoking?" Ron disagreed, "Why do you dare to say that? Could it be that Harry will help you?
"Hey, can you not do this?" Harry said weakly, "Why do you have to drag it all the time?"
Everyone else was snickering, and every time Draco was deflated by Zhang Hao, he would find a way to taunt Harry and Ron for pleasure.
Everyone is used to this for a long time, even if it is useless to persuade it, no one will care anyway.
Zhang Hao interrupted impatiently: "Can you calm down? Don't you feel naΓ―ve when you're noisy all day long? Daphne, can you come with me? I have something to tell you." β
Hermione watched Daphne leave with Zhang Hao, her mood wet.
She very much hopes that Zhang Hao can invite Daphne to be her dance partner, so that Daphne will be in a much better mood and will not be so depressed.
But when she remembered that she didn't have a dance partner, she couldn't tell how uncomfortable she was.
It's a terrible thing to have these wooden friends around, especially Harry and Ron - they even said that no girl wanted to dance with them!
"Oh my God, am I not a girl?" Hermione thought to herself, "Forget it! it's impossible to count on these two logs, let's wait for the chance! Hao won't be stuck with Daphne for the whole dance, and there should be a chance to dance with him." β
......
Zhang Hao didn't know Hermione's thoughts, and he wouldn't guess what Hermione was thinking at the moment.
Daphne obediently followed him to a secluded place, and without speaking, she just looked at him quietly.
"Daphne, would you like to be my dance partner?" Zhang Hao said freely, "I don't think anyone is more suitable for me than you, right?"
"What about Lilith, what if she's here?" said Daphne slyly, "what if you were to choose between us?"
Zhang Hao thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't choose, I'll take you to square dance!"
"Giggles...... Daphne laughed and said after a long moment, "Well! you win...... Your mindset is truly astounding!"
Zhang Hao stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "You haven't promised me yet! Can you give me an answer first?"
Daphne threw herself into Zhang Hao's arms, wrapped her hands around his neck, and said gently: "I've been waiting for you to speak, as long as you speak, I am willing to dance with you at any time." β
Zhang Hao looked at the pair of beautiful eyes, felt the warmth in his arms, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss them.
After a long time, the two slowly separated.
"It's so devastating!" said Daphne, intoxicated, "I don't want to be separated from you......"
Zhang Hao comforted: "We will not be separated...... ...... as long as you want."
In the silence of the castle, their figures were shrouded in darkness.
The brilliance of human nature still shines on that square inch of land.
Just like a microcosm of the world, no matter how dark it is, it is impossible to be completely devoid of light.
......
In the days leading up to Christmas, a lot of girls are going crazy β they're in a hurry to find a dance partner!
Imagine what others would think if a girl didn't have a dance partner at the prom.
Not gentle enough, or not pretty enough, or can't learn to dance?
In short, the girls who don't have a dance partner are very anxious!
Hermione was one of them, and she hadn't received an invitation from Harry or Ron until now.
Oh, Draco knows what it's like to take care of Pansy!
Hermione was very envious of other girls, who could invite the boys of their choice unscrupulously.
She saw with her own eyes that they sent invitations around Zhang Hao.
Although Zhang Hao refused all, at least they could speak-
Envy made Hermione even more disappointed, she had prepared a beautiful dress, and she fantasized about dancing with someone!
Pity......
"Hermione!"
A kind call woke Hermione from her loss, she collected her mood, showed a smile and said, "Daphne, didn't you practice dancing with Hao?"
Daphne laughed, "We can't dance all the time, can we? He designed a unique dance and is still short of a dance partner, would you like to come?"
"A unique dance?" Hermione felt ridiculous, "What kind of dance, do three people do it together?"
Daphne chuckled, "Square dancing!"
