In the last week of the semester, the school was bustling and noisy day by day. Rumors spread about the Yule Ball, and even Alan, who was immersed in the study of Dementors, heard a lot of gossip while eating in the auditorium.

For example, Dumbledore bought eight hundred barrels of Flavored Mead from Rosemerta, who was three broomsticks. The Weird Sisters, one of the most popular groups in the wizarding world, are booked to perform the song......

Compared to these news, it was the dance partners who made the little wizards even more restless.

At breakfast, Michael smugly told Alan that three girls had already sent him an invitation. The little wizards in the camp are very sought-after.

"I said, man, you'd better speed up, or the good girl will be picked out. Michael said.

Alan smiled and nodded calmly.

"Well, maybe you don't have to worry. Michael saw the constant stares of the girls around him, "But you'll be harassed for a long time." ”

Alan followed Michael's gaze and saw several Ravenclaw girls instantly excited, pushing and laughing at each other.

"I think it's too late for you to leave. Michael suggested.

"You're right. Alan saw that a girl seemed to be coming over at the instigation of many girls, and quickly got up and left the auditorium.

Ellen's invitation had been delayed, and Hermione had a rare distraction in Charms class, but Professor Flitwick simply stopped teaching when he saw that his classmates were obviously absent-minded.

Professor Flitwick allowed the young wizards to play games in his class, and he spent most of his time talking to Harry about the wonderful flying charm Harry used in his first project in Triwizard Tournament.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Hermione packed her bag and walked to the Potions classroom, and as soon as she reached the hall on the first floor, someone called her name.

There is only one person in that unique pronunciation - Krum.

"Homien, can you be my dance partner at the Christmas Ball?" said Krum, quickly approaching Hermione and handing her a purple box.

Hermione didn't take it, and was about to say no when Krum spoke quickly.

"Homeyne, I was fascinated by your uniqueness at the Quidditch World Cup, and I went to the library every day just to see you and have more opportunities to meet you. No one has ever been so intriguing to me, I really like you and I hope you can give me a chance. ”

Krum's two thick thick eyebrows were rarely furrowed, his lips trembled slightly, and the look in his eyes at Hermione was not at all as tough as usual, and the color of supplication in them made him look extremely vulnerable.

He handed the small purple box to Hermione again, "This is the golden snitch that my grandmother gave me, it is a relic that my grandfather left her. As a training prop, this golden snitch has witnessed my growth and accompanied me throughout my childhood. I made it into a necklace and gave it to you. ”

Hermione was moved, but was about to refuse, and was hesitating about how to speak, when she was interrupted by Krum.

Seeing Hermione's hesitant expression, Krum hurriedly said, "You won't be waiting for Alan Harris to invite you, I've heard that he has unclear relationships with many girls." ”

Suddenly, a cold voice said behind them, "A superficial star chaser, what a cheap excuse to coax a Muggle witch with an old golden snitch." Isn't it enough to be together a lot, and that's why you're confused by Quidditch's second-ranked Seeker?"

A man stepped out of the shadows behind them - it was Professor Snape.

"It's a shame to coax a little witch with a decent flying skill. Snape glanced at Krum with contempt.

Hermione, who had already been a little annoyed by Krum's words, was even more annoyed when she said to Snape, "If it weren't for the constant interruption by you, I would have refused a long time ago." ”

"I'm sorry Krum, I can't accept your invitation. ”

With that, Hermione turned around and wanted to leave, but in an instant, she was stunned for a moment and hurriedly walked forward, "Alan, I didn't ......"

Alan walked over from the far foyer and smiled at her, and his next words succeeded in turning Hermione, who was worried about Alan's misunderstanding and eager to explain.

"Hermione, I want to invite you to be my dance partner, would you like to?" Alan didn't wait for Hermione to finish explaining, and sent out the invitation.

Hermione nodded happily, and Alan nodded to Professor Snape, the corner of his eye glancing at the pillar on the left, behind which Ron stared at them with an unhappy expression.

"Miss Jack-of-all-trades, don't be late. Professor Snape snorted and walked towards the Potions classroom, his cloak rattling behind him.

"I need to get out of here. Hermione was happy, but the professors had already entered the classroom, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Knowing Hermione's character, Alan rubbed the top of her unkempt hair and said goodbye to her tenderly.

Looking at the little witch's hurried back, Alan couldn't help but laugh, ignoring Krum, who was so gloomy that he could almost drip water, Alan strode out of the hall.

Back in the tower, Alan sat down at his desk, unfolded the parchment, dipped his quill in an inkwell, and began to write quickly on the parchment.

"To Aunt Josephine. Alan fed some nachos to Benny and tied the letter to its legs.

Then, Alan took out a sheet of music and hummed it softly to the beat as he transcribed it.

The teachers and students of Gwarts showed a constant desire to impress the guests of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang and seemed determined to bring out the best of the castle this Christmas. The school was decorated with lights.

And Hagrid was naturally the main force in setting up the school. Instead of complaining, he worked hard. He wears a pink suit, his hair is tied back and he is sprayed with cologne.

The handrails of the marble staircase were covered with everlasting icicles, and the twelve Christmas trees that were customary in the Great Hall were adorned with all sorts of knick-knacks, from glittering holly to live golden owls chirping incessantly.

The armor was enchanted, and whenever someone passed by, they would sing Christmas carols. It's hilarious to hear an empty helmet singing "Oh, come on, you pious people."

But sometimes, you have to be careful if it's the armor that's singing, or—

"Peeves, come out quickly. Filch grabbed Peeves with both hands, trying to pull him out of his armor.

"Perhaps, let me come. Hagrid said with a smile.
