Chapter 175: The Dance Partner Effect
The sky is like water, the years are fleeting, the green years are always full of countless expectations, the girl's feelings are always poetry, the age of love fantasy has never withered, the countless girls who love to dream about the three schools, the gorgeous ball, the handsome prince, the elegant dancing, all of them are like Cinderella who is about to put on the crystal slipper, and the person who drives the pumpkin carriage still stays in the light.
The dream of youth may be far away, it may be unattainable, but I have not tried, I have not been brave, when the prosperity is gone, and the face is getting old, will I still remember that the black-robed young man in the dream is still wandering in the deepest part of the softness of my heart.
As soon as the news of the prom was issued, the girls of the three schools, like cats smelling honey, haunted the countless ways that Augustus had walked, since a lovely girl in the first grade bravely took the first step with the encouragement of her peers, and since then, the general trend has been out of control. It is unimaginable that the girls of the various academies, who are usually reserved and self-assured, will be like a bowl of chocolate to Augustus on the eve of the upcoming ball, and they are bound to take it in one fell swoop.
In order not to be too eye-catching, Augustus has been completely alone after class, but unfortunately, he underestimated the well-prepared witty girls, tracking clocks, scented candies, marking paints, and all kinds of high-tech magic weapons, showing their magic at this moment, God knows, when the wizarding world has become so unsafe.
Naturally, witty girls, in addition to stalking, find a place with beautiful scenery and unique scenery to pretend to be a casual encounter, plus casually ask, is there a dance partner, I can be a dance partner? Of course, when asking questions, the facial expression must be innocent, with a little shyness in the eyes, and most importantly, you must show your own characteristics.
For Augustus, how to refuse tactfully, pretending to be helpless to issue a good person card, is also extremely technical, first of all, you need to try your best to express regret, after all, it is someone else who took the initiative to invite you, so even if you are a foot taller than you, or four or five years younger than you, you need to show your demeanor as a man and refuse gently. For a young girl, taking the risk of being looked down upon by everyone to summon up the courage to take the initiative to invite, if as a man, she refuses directly without mercy, which is really a bit despicable in terms of personality.
What's more interesting is that on weekdays, together with Malfurlillian, after a few days of acting alone, Augustus suddenly found that Hogwarts actually accommodated so many girls, he hadn't noticed it before, whether it was Gryffindor or even Slytherin, many girls who seemed to have never met before were like gorgeous fantasy landscapes, cars and horses, and people passed by.
For example, the one in front of you, Angelina.
Augustus suddenly remembered that she seemed to be the vice-captain of the Gryffindor team.
"Hello, Mr. Augustus!" The senior sister in front of her, with her usual wildness, shone with an inexplicable light in her brown pupils.
A warm smile appeared on the corner of Augustus's mouth, "You're the senior sister of Gryffindor, it's an honor to meet you." ”
Angelina nodded with some surprise, and her clear voice revealed a hint of joy, "You know me?" I've watched your game, and it's really good, even though I'm a Gryffindor and should support Harry in my position, but in terms of personal feelings, I'm still more optimistic about you. ”
Augustus smiled slightly, "Senior sister's Quidditch is also very good, I have watched a few games, and I am quite impressed by you." ”
Angelina's face showed a smile on her face, "You're not lying. I heard that you don't have a dance partner yet, in fact, in Gryffindor, there are a lot of girls who like you, do you want to introduce you to a few? ”
Augustus smiled bitterly, "Thank you senior sister for your righteous action, but there will still be a dance partner." ”
Angelina bit her lip and waved her hand a little irritably, "Forget it, it's up to you," her fair face flushed slightly, "If you still don't have a dance partner by then, remember to come to me." With that, he turned and left.
Augustus shook his head and chuckled, this senior sister is also interesting.
In the Gryffindor lounge, Ron shrunk back in his seat in disgust, "Harry, it's time for you to act, as a warrior, it's too embarrassing to be without a dance partner by then." ”
Harry sighed, a demure and gentle figure flashed in his green pupils, and muttered slightly, "I don't know if she was invited, maybe she won't have a chance to go now." ”
"What are you talking about?" Ron asked curiously.
"Ah, uh, I mean, Arya is actually pretty good, I should consider inviting her." Harry feigned a mature tone.
"Come on," Hermione pouted disdainfully, "she's been taken away by Fred." ”
"What!?" Ron's face changed slightly, and then he was grieved again. Even his sibling brother has a dance partner, and it seems that he is a completely forgotten supporting role in tragedy.
"Harry, you are different from us, you are a warrior, with this identity, what kind of girl can't be invited, it's better for you to take the initiative, otherwise, the good girl will really be picked out." In order to divert the grievances in his heart, Ron began to count Harry.
Hermione frowned slightly, but didn't speak.
"I don't know if Mr. Augustus has a dance partner," Harry muttered as he dropped his chin in disappointment.
There was a hint of complexity on Hermione's lovely face, "With his current reputation, among the three schools, even Krum may not be able to compete with him, how can he lack a dance partner, you are too naïve." ”
Ron snapped up, "It's decided, it's time for us to take action...... Invite someone. We don't want to end up dancing with a pair of ugly bastards. ”
Hao Min was angry and stammered a little when he spoke.
"I'm sorry, a couple...... What the? ”
"Well—you know," said Ron, shrugging his shoulders, "I'd rather go alone—than find, say, Eloise Meadgan. ”
"She's been getting better lately - she's actually pretty good!"
"Her nose is a little crooked." Ron said.
"Oh, I see," Hao Min said, enraged, "it turns out that, fundamentally, you want to invite the prettiest girl who is willing to accept you, even if she's a complete villain?" ”
"Uh-yes, that's pretty much right." Ron said.
"I'm going to sleep." Hao Min said angrily, and then walked quickly towards the stairs of the girls' dormitory without saying a word.
