Chapter 648: The Christmas Ball
Ron looked at himself in the mirror, surprised, and after a long moment, he turned to Ivan and stammered. "How long will it last like this?"
"If you don't destroy it, you won't have a problem sustaining it for a day or two......" Ivan replied with a shrug.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! This is the best Christmas gift I've ever received! Ron was thrilled to be hit by a surprise that fell from the sky - having a decent outfit meant he didn't have to make a fool of himself at this year's Christmas party.
"If you like it!" Ivan smiled and said casually.
Harry, Seamus, and Neville, who had been watching from the sidelines, also gathered around, complimenting Ron on for his new dress, cheering him on, and the dormitory was back to its old harmony.
After all these days, Harry's anger had long since subsided, and he and Ron talked and laughed as if they had never had a conflict.
Ron was a little awkward, he always wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth for a long time.
There seems to be a membrane between the two, and the relationship is always a little worse than before.
Ivan noticed this, but didn't care.
For him, Ron is just a good friend, although he has known each other for a long time, but he has been friends for a long time, and he has only been on an adventure occasionally.
So when Ron lost his temper and wanted to break off relations with them before, Ivan didn't argue with Ron about the explanation.
Unlike Harry, Ivan recognized him as a trusted friend.
He still remembered that when he was short of money to buy potions in his first year, Harry tried to help him, and after he refused, he politely sent ten gold galleons as a Christmas present.
Harry was so happy when he lent him the Cloak of Invisibility last year that he didn't even ask what he was doing with it.
Ivan took all this help to heart, which is why he was willing to spend a few days teaching the other party the spell......
Considering that the dance party was about to begin, the few people in the dormitory chatted for a few words, and then went to the common room of Gryffindor together.
After only a few hours, it became a small exhibition hall.
The students inside all changed out of the standard school uniforms they usually wear, and changed into various styles of dresses and robes, especially those girls, who were dressed up one by one, which made people dazzled.
"I didn't know there were so many beautiful girls in the school." Seamus looked around and said with emotion.
"yes, I don't usually notice it......" Harry nodded in agreement, looking to the side - Ginny was chatting with a few friends.
Perhaps seeing Harry's gaze, Ginny quickly turned her head, and when she saw Harry, her eyes lit up, whispered a few words to her friends, and ran over to her.
"Ginny!" Ron happily greeted Ginny, and was shocked to see his sister holding Harry's arm.
"Wait... Harry, Ginny, what are you? Ron was stunned, his gaze darting between the two.
"He invited me to this year's Christmas Ball!" Ginny blushed and spoke.
"Ah, yes, I just don't have a dance partner, so... So—" Harry was embarrassed by Ron's gaze, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and he vaguely regretted inviting Ginny to be his dance partner.
Fortunately, at this time, Ivan's words broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Ginny, what about Hermione? Have you seen her? ”
"When I came down, she was still taking care of her hair! It should be almost now......" Ginny explained, and then said mysteriously as if remembering something. "You'll be surprised to see her!"
Harry and the others were a little curious, even Ivan.
They waited here together for a while, and suddenly there was some commotion on the stairs of the stairs, and Ivan turned to look at it, and he was stunned.
The one who came down was none other than Hermione!
It's just that compared to usual, Hermione has taken off her heavy bookish energy, and she is shining like a new star at the moment.
The long, unkempt brown hair has been groomed to become soft and shiny, and is pulled into an elegant bun at the back of the head.
She was walking slowly down the stairs, her hands as white as jade were gently on the corners of the skirt, the light-colored long skirt on her body was shining with a faint purple light, reflecting the ruddy skin crystal clear, and a black ribbon was tied around her waist, outlining the girl's beautiful figure.
The two Gryffindor girls who walked down with her behind her seemed to be her foils, all eyes were on Hermione, Ron had his mouth wide open and his face was full of disbelief, and Harry was not much better.
"Is she really Hermione?" Seamus asked in surprise.
He wasn't the only one who wanted to ask this, but Parvati in the dormitory stared at Hermione with a questioning look, wondering if he had recognized the wrong person.
Hermione didn't care about everyone's stunned eyes and questions, but walked in front of Ivan step by step.
"How? Is it okay? Hermione asked nervously, with a hint of shyness and anticipation in her words.
"It's beautiful, it's beyond my expectations!" Ivan said appreciatively.
Hermione smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, she gently grabbed Ivan's arm, and said playfully. "Let's go, it's almost dance time, let's go to the Great Hall!"
Ivan nodded.
The students in the lounge also found their own dance partners, and although Ron didn't have Harry's help, he also found Lavender as his dance partner, and the two got along very well.
Harry was more embarrassed, because of Ron's presence, he didn't dare to have any intimate behavior with Ginny, he was uncomfortable, and on the way to the foyer, he was grabbed by the Weasley brothers for a while, and almost ran away.
"Little Ronnie, you actually bought a new dress, this... It's incredible! After teasing Harry, George and Fred also noticed Ron's "new clothes", and both of them looked surprised.
"Can't you? Are you allowed to wear new clothes? Ron looked at them dissatisfied, and stiffly slammed back.
George and Fred were bored, and then looked at Ivan and Hermione again, and said with a little surprise and admiration. "You're so discerning, no wonder you keep so many girls and staring at Hermione."
"Of course!" Ivan replied generously.
While a few people were chatting, the oak front door of the auditorium had opened slowly, and it was clear that the dance had begun.
