Professor Flitwick announced in his spell class that this year's Christmas Ball is just around the corner – a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and an opportunity to mingle with guests from foreign partner schools. Right now, the ball is only open to students from the fourth grade onwards - but you can also invite a junior if you like -

"Be sure to wear a gown," Professor Flitwick reiterated, "and the ball starts at eight o'clock on Christmas night and ends at midnight in the lobby." It's certainly a great opportunity, well—to have a good time. He himself is looking forward to the ball.

The bell rang for the end of class, and everyone packed their bags, slung their shoulders, and scrambled out of the classroom as usual.

Professor Flitwick shouted amidst the noise, "Edge—you have something to do, please don't leave yet." ”

Professor Flitwick and the rest of the class left, and said to Edge, "As for the ball, I want to tell you that the ball has always been for the warriors of the competition and their partners, and they need the first dance of the dance, so you need to prepare well and find a good dance partner. Remember? ”

The number of people who intend to stay at school this Christmas has increased significantly, and all the fourth-graders seem to have stayed, at least the girls. Some of the girls giggled and whispered in the hallway; Some girls, some boys laugh shrieks when they pass by them; Others were there to exchange what to wear on Christmas night......

They walked together in groups of three or five, and every time a boy mustered up the courage to go up, he would receive a lot of smiles, and his thin face would blush.

"Harry, I advise you to pick one as soon as possible." After Aitch reminded him of the secret of the golden egg, he reminded him of it.

"Why?"

"Because there are fewer girls than boys in our school!"

Harry wasn't convinced, Ron had told him that the girls would line up to invite him, and besides, wasn't it possible for the junior students to be invited? In recent days, many girls have dared to invite him to the party.

As it turned out to be how correct Aitch's "prophecy" was, it was only in the last few days that Harry and Ron "made" up to send an invitation to their desired target, but by this time, they both had "masters", and finally the two had to resign themselves to asking the Paveti sisters for help.

Hermione was dressed up in a fancy way that day, and she accepted Krum's invitation in the library, wearing a blue dress at the ball, covering up more than half of the splendor of the crystal lamp. In her words, rejecting Harry and Ron was, "It's not like I don't want it anymore, wait until someone finally asks." ”

The music of the waltz sounded, and the four warriors and their partners stepped onto the dance floor.

Luna helps Aitch finish her first dance and go to the dance with the others. Aitch did his duty and went for a walk in the garden.

"Why are you here?" Snape and Black should have followed him out.

It's been half a year since the last time Edge's emotional outburst, and Edge's hatred and hatred have gradually become lighter, and he doesn't reject the two as much as before.

"It's nothing, I just don't like it." Aitch tightened his evening dress. Seriously, Aitch knew that the golden egg was hinting that someone next to him would be taken away, but he didn't know about the second mission, Dumbledore, who they would take as Aitch's "treasure". He seems to be beautiful and admired by everyone, but he seems to have nothing.

On the day of the game, Aitch was still suspicious, he had already found out that three people were missing from the school: Hermione, Ron, and Fleur's sister Gabrielle. They correspond to Krum's love, Harry's friendship, and Fleur's family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are their most precious treasures.

And what about Edge? It seems that there is no "treasure" to come up with, Neville, Draco, or Luna are just general acquaintances, which is a great irony and sadness. It's like a person owning the most luxurious house in the world but not having a home.

It can be said that until he entered the water, Aitch still couldn't believe that he was so pitiful, did I ask for it? Aitch sneered self-deprecatingly.

The lake was full of people, cheering and cheering.

"The excitement belongs to them, and I have nothing." Aitch thought, his heart frighteningly still.

Aitch put a suit of clothes on the shore, jumped into the lake, took out his wand and pointed it at his head, and he turned himself into a mermaid, with a tail growing from the lower half of his body and gills from his ears. This is the application of Transfiguration, a bit like the previous time Moody used to turn Draco into a sable.

The bottom was quiet, and Krum didn't know where to go. Then Harry went underwater, and his gills grew under his ears, and his hands and feet grew flippers like ducks and geese.

Aichi swam for about ten minutes. Suddenly, he heard someone singing in the distance. He swam over and saw a group of merfolk sitting on a boulder. They are holding spears and catching large squid.

Fleur was right in front of him, and she used the Bubble Head Charm to craft a large bubble helmet, but in her search, she was unfortunate enough to be destroyed by a passing fish, and even she herself was in big trouble. The hood was instantly disillusioned, choking on the water that poured in, and she struggled to swim her limbs underneath.

Aitch wouldn't be kind enough to cast his magic on Fleur, but it was okay to help her out, and it would be a lifesaver. With a flick of Edge's wand, an undercurrent stirred up an undercurrent under the lake, and swept her towards the shore and the water.

Aitch swam a little more, and the fishmen could see clearly, their bodies were gray, their hair was dark green, and their eyes were yellow, like their rotten teeth, and when they saw Aitch swimming over, they all glared at him with bad intentions, like snakes in a zoo.

Aitch knew the target was near, and moved on. Suddenly, a magical image appeared in front of him, and in front of a meadow there was also a group of mermaids, who were singing the song of the golden egg around a statue, "Come to us with the sound, we can't sing on the shore, we will steal what you miss most, and you will find it in an hour, and then you will have to exchange with us." An hour later, everything was gone. Too late, and everything ceases to exist. ”

At the bottom of the statue, four people are tied. Ron was tied between Hermione and Miss Gray, along with a girl who looked no older than eight years old. Her thick silver hair made Aitch immediately conclude that it was Fleur's sister Gabrielle, and all four seemed to be asleep, foaming at the mouth.

Awesome, Dumbledore! When Aitch met Lady Gray, he knew it was his mission. Although he guessed that Dumbledore would let them drink the potion in advance to ensure that they were all safe, Aitch couldn't help but worry when he saw them for the first time.

Aitch had no reason to deny Dumbledore their choice, and Miss Grey had been as good to Aitch as a sister and mother all these years, which was the warmest memory in his memory. Thinking of this, Edge's hands and feet sharpened, and he quickly swam over.

He swiped his wand at the waterweed that bound Lady Grey, and cut it off, and by chance it acted on the waterweed that bound Gabrielle.

The merfolk immediately gathered around and shook their heads and said, "You have taken your things, and the rest will be kept." ”

"That's not up to you." Aitch pondered.

Aitch told Harry that he just didn't want him to die at the bottom of the lake by surprise, but if there was a chance to lower his rating, Aitch would be happy to do it.

The first two rounds of the Triwizard Tournament are a set-up for the third event, with the higher the score, the more advantageous, but Aitch knows that the Goblet of Fire in the third level will turn into a portkey, so if he wants to be first, he will definitely try to improve his score.

Originally, Harry would have tied for first place with Krum for moral bonus points because he saved Gabrielle, but now that Aitch is intervening, he will definitely crush the past with a matchless attitude.

Aitch pretended to put Gabrielle down and let her hover in front of the merfolk to paralyze them, and suddenly struck again. As soon as he flicked his tail, the whole person spun around in the lake, and the name in his hand spread a week's bondage spell along his body.

Before the mermaids could react, the aquatic plants below them began to grow wildly, and they couldn't break free like nets. So angry that they kept spitting bubbles in their mouths and swearing.

Aitch carried one on one shoulder, and his tail supported the current, and rushed up one by one...... Finally, his head was out of the water. The people on the shore cheered.

Fleur was hysterically shouting to go back to the lake. "Gabrielle! Gabrielle! Is she still alive? Is she okay? ”

"She's fine!" Wrapped in a thick blanket, Aitch took the potion Professor Snape had given him, which warmed him up.

By the time Krum and Harry came out of the lake, the judges began to score, and there was no doubt that Aitch was the first place again.
