The students and teachers of Hogwarts continued to show their desire to impress the other three school guests, as if determined to show off the corners of the castle this Christmas, and the school was decorated with lights.

"I've never seen such a beautiful decoration since I entered school." Egger looked at the decorations in the auditorium and muttered, "What a loser..."

Hogwarts is compulsory education, except for the cost of books every year, students need to pay for their own money, other accommodations are free of charge, the most important thing is that the accommodation conditions are very high, and the food is still meat, all of which comes from the school board of trustees and the Ministry of Magic's subsidy.

Of course, this is not a free subsidy, and a large proportion of wizards from ordinary families who come out of the school end up in the Ministry of Magic or the school trustees' own businesses, which is why they fund Hogwarts.

In the case of paid funding, it is impossible for these families or the Ministry of Magic to say that they don't want to attack Hogwarts, but fortunately, when Hogwarts is sitting in the Forbidden Forest, most of them can be self-sufficient, so even if the school board members withdraw their funds, Hogwarts is not worthwhile, which is why Dumbledore never hangs the school board.

Becoming the Headmaster of Hogwarts means that the next generation of wizards in Britain will be their own peach and plum in the coming decades, and this temptation is not small for some politicians who care about fame and fortune.

Today, in the castle, even the handrails of the marble staircase, which were once ignored in the past, hang icicles that never melt, and the Halloween Christmas tree in the auditorium, as usual, is now a golden sparkle of all kinds of knick-knacks, from glittering holly to live golden owls chirping incessantly.

The armor on the side of the road was also spelled, as long as someone passed by, they would suddenly sing a song, and from time to time some armor would suddenly meow, and then I saw old Filch pull out a cat security guard from it with great effort...

"Looks like I'm going to have to invite Lavender... Before tonight's ball—" Ron muttered with a dejected look on his face.

"Uh... All right. Harry smiled awkwardly, he had already finished inviting Ginny.

"I don't think I'm the worst one, think about it, and Neville." Ron always likes to compare Neville to himself, because then he feels a lot more at ease.

"Oh... It's a shame, I have to remind you that Neville already has a dance partner. Hermione said.

"Who?" Ron was stunned.

Hermione lifted her chin as if relieved, "Mad girl Lovegood, Ravenclaw girl, is one year lower than us, although... The head is a little not good, but it looks pretty good. ”

As she spoke, Hermione glanced at Egger meaningfully, and Egg smiled helplessly.

I don't know why Hermione was so wary of Luna...

To be reasonable, Egger really just thinks that Luna's cleverness is very favorable, but if he deals with the object, forget it.

Whether in terms of IQ or EQ, Luna's conditions are not suitable for being a girlfriend.

On the other hand, Hermione, although she has a high IQ, her EQ is just like that, so foolish...

"Very well, then I'm going to invite her now." Ron stood up eagerly and ran out.

“emmm… I don't know why, I always feel that the world exudes malice towards Ron..."Egg flattened his mouth and looked in the direction of Ron's runaway: "He won't fail, right?" ”

"What a coincidence," Harry muttered thoughtfully, "I feel that way, too..."

Egger: "......"

As it turned out to be the right instincts, when the two of them returned to the common room after afternoon tea in Emily's Forbidden Forest, Ron was lying in a small corner with a pale face, looking pitiful, while Ginny was looking at Ron with a worried face.

"Let me think... Did she promise someone else? Egg pinched his chin and laughed.

"Not really," Ginny shook her head.

Ron raised his head and looked at a few people in despair, his face bloodless: "She came home, I sent her a letter, and she wrote back that her grandmother was sick at home, and I didn't invite her for a long time, so..."

"That's not a serious matter, it's a big deal—" Harry wondered.

"yes, that's what I thought," Ron turned pale, "but why would I do that?" ”

As he spoke, Ron covered his face in despair.

“What？” Iger looked at him suspiciously.

"He... Forehead... He'd just invited Fleur Delacour to join him at the ball..."Ginny explained, smiling desperately but patting Ron's arm sympathetically.

"Is it so powerful?" Iger grinned, "Dude? ”

Harry was stunned, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"I don't know how I could do such a thing!" Ron gasped and said incoherently, "What am I kidding?" It was full of people - it was packed with people - I must have been dizzy, everyone was 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 dismally, covered his face with his hands, and continued to mumble, "She looked at me as if I was a sea cucumber or something, and didn't bother to answer at all. And then I don't know why - I suddenly came to my senses and ran away..."

"Sea cucumbers? Her eyes must be full of lust when she looks at you, prickly boy? Egger laughed, his focus peculiar.

Ron let out a miserable moan, sounding like a cry.

"Egger!" Hermione teasedly tugged at Egger, "Stop hitting him..."

"She has a part of her baby's blood." Yu Mengyu, who was looking at the book not far away, raised his head: "It should be that you were casting a spell on that Diggory at the time, and you happened to pass by, but she wasted her efforts this time, Diggory and Qiu Zhang went together." ”

"You're going to invite him?" Egger suddenly looked at Yu Mengyu in surprise.

"No, I'm going to invite Cho Zhang." Youmengyu's face was expressionless.

"Wait, I'm a little messy, you asked me to pick it up, it seems that something is not right?" Iger rubbed his temples and said, "So what is Ron going to do now?" ”

"If you really can't help it, just invite a junior student," Harry suggested.

"The good-looking girls in the lower grades have also been invited..."Ron's face was gloomy.

"He's hopeless, let him fend for himself here." Hermione tilted her head and rolled her eyes.

"Maybe there's another candidate, we just finished afternoon tea at her today." Egger thought for a moment, "If I don't think of any surprises, no one should dare to go to the Forbidden Forest to invite her..."

"You mean... Emily? Ron's eyes lit up.

"That's right." Egg nodded: "Of course, you have to be careful when dancing, don't let her pull her arm off..."

"I'll go and come back!" Ron regained a hint of blood on his face, turned and ran out.

"Will Emily say yes?" Harry looked at Egger quizzically.

Iger smiled: "Have you ever heard of paid blood donation?" Emily has been eating tomatoes for half a year... I don't think she'll let go of this opportunity..."

Harry: "......"
