"Potter! Weasley! Listen up, okay? ”

Professor McGonagall's enraged hoarse voice swept through Thursday's Transfiguration class like a whip, and both Harry and Ron jumped to their feet and looked up.

The two of them were fighting each other with fake wands made by George and Fred, and Harry has been in a good mood lately, he has survived the first project, and Ron has reconciled with him, and of course, the most important thing is that he has a higher score than Guris in the first project.

Although Gurris's dragon slaying battle conquered almost everyone in the school, he slaughtered the poor dragon, he shouldn't have done that, the dragon is now a protected magical creature, even if he didn't receive any punishment due to the competition, but he suffered a lot in the score, and now he is at the bottom of the list.

"Well, both Potter and Weasley have been honest." Professor McConaughey said, "I have something to announce to you—"

"The Christmas Ball is just around the corner – a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and an opportunity to mingle with foreign guests. Right now, the ball is only open to students from the fourth grade onwards - but you can also invite a junior if you like—"

A few of the girls in the room began to snicker, and Professor McGonagall continued disapprovingly, "Be sure to wear a gown, and the ball will take place in the Great Hall from eight o'clock on Christmas night and ending at midnight. Now class is over—"

Professor McGonagall glanced at the class unhurriedly, "Potter - you have something to do, please don't leave yet." ”

"Potter, the warriors and their dance partners—"

"What dance partner?" Harry looked at Professor McGonagall quizzically.

Professor McGonagall looked at him quizzically, as if he wanted to be funny.

"Your dance partner at the Santa Ball, Potter," she said coldly, "your dance partner." ”

"Dance partner?" Harry felt himself blush.

"I can't dance." He immediately prevaricated.

"Oh no, you will," Professor McGonagall was a little irritated. "That's what I'm going to tell you. All along, balls have been held for warriors and their dance partners. ”

"It's tradition," Professor McConaughey said. "You are a Hogwarts warrior, you should be the representative of the school and do what we expect you to do, and I would be very upset if a Gryffindor student embarrassed the school in any way."

"So make sure you find a dance partner, Potter." Professor McGonagall said in a commanding tone.

"Okay, a dance partner." On the way back, Harry and Ron muttered, "Is there anything more humiliating than making a fool of yourself in front of the nobles of Guris and Malfoy?" ”

"Forget it, Harry, it's nothing, you've conquered the dragon, and dancing is not too much for you," Ron's tone was still a little sour, "The most important thing is who you're going to invite?" ”

"Who to invite?" Harry was silent, and a shadow appeared in his mind, gentle and beautiful, Quidditch played well, and he was popular—he knew who he liked to invite, but it was another thing to muster courage.

The last week of the semester is getting more and more noisy. Rumors about the Yule Ball were flying around, and this year, every student from the fourth grade and above seemed to stay, or rather, at least, all the girls were. Hogwarts had never accommodated so many girls at once, and some of them giggled and whispered in the hallways; Some girls, some boys laugh shrieks when they pass by them; Others were there to talk about what to wear on Christmas night・・・・・・

"Harry—we've got to get a try," Ron said Friday morning, his tone seemed to indicate that they were planning to break through an impenetrable fortress. "We'll all have dance partners when we get back to the common room tonight - okay? You know, there's only a week left until the prom. ”

"yes, okay." Harry mumbled that he found that every time he saw Autumn - during breaks, at lunch, on her way to a magical history class - she was always surrounded by a large group of friends. Didn't she go somewhere alone? There were even four or five girls escorting them to the toilet. But if he doesn't act right away, - the figure of Guris comes to his mind, "No, no, Guris is in a hot fight with Fleur right now, he will definitely invite Fleur, and- I'm better than him, am I?" Harry comforted himself.

After the Potions class, Harry rushed out of the classroom, through the crowd in the hallway, looking for Autumn, and to his surprise he soon found her, she had just finished her Defence Against the Dark Arts class and was preparing to go back with a group of friends - Guris was not there, and the Warriors didn't have final exams, so no one cared if they didn't go to class.

"Uh-autumn? Can I have a word with you? ”

The girls around Qiu looked at him in surprise, their eyes were very strange, there was expectation, sympathy, and indignation.

Cho glanced at Harry and sighed imperceptibly, "Okay. Then follow him out.

"Uh, would you like to go to the prom - and me?" Harry's mind was a little confused, but his heart was full of anticipation.

"I mean, come with me to the prom." He hurriedly explained.

Autumn looked at him quietly, a hint of confusion in his big eyes, but he quickly came to his senses, "I'm sorry, Harry, I can't go with you. ”

Harry felt his heart empty all of a sudden, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Why, is it because of Guris?" ”

Cho nodded.

"He invited you?"

Autumn was silent, and shook her head after a while.

"Why! Why didn't he invite you, you still have to wait for him! He's with Fleur now, he's a playboy, even if that's the case, you still have to wait for him, even if I invite you, you won't agree! Harry erupted.

Autumn lowered her head with a wry smile, "My friends said the same, when Cedric came to invite me, they persuaded me to agree, but who told me to like him, no, who told me to love him, even if he didn't come in the end, I wouldn't agree to anyone else." ”

"No, you can't do that!" Harry was a little crazy, the scar on his head was getting uglier and uglier, and he reached out to grab Cho Chang, "Obviously I'm better than him, I've scored more points than him-"

A red light flew over, and Harry's hand was knocked out before he could touch Cho Zhang.

A figure walked out of the corner of the hallway, and Guris said lightly, "Harry, it's not good to do something to someone else's girlfriend!" ”

"Guris!" Harry gritted his teeth and got up from the ground and drew his wand.

"Faint!" A thick red light shot out of his wand.

Mo Wen frowned slightly, it seemed that Harry's magic power had grown rapidly under the influence of Voldemort's soul fragments, but then his brows stretched again, "Armor protection!" The ornate armor shadow covered him, and Harry's spell had no effect on it.

"Harry, I think your head needs to be cleared."

"Hang the Admiralty upside down!" The spell struck Harry's body, knocking him upside down.

Harry's face flushed, and his robe fell off, revealing his underpants.

"Guris, you bastard, I know you're jealous of me, you didn't do as well as me in the first project, I'm afraid I'll steal your limelight, you despicable guy actually sneak attack!" The frantic Harry was unscrupulous in finding a fig leaf for himself, and he really couldn't accept it when he showed this in front of Autumn.

"Really?" Listening to Harry's words, Mo Wen suddenly smiled playfully, walked to Harry's side step by step, approached his ear and whispered, "Who do you think reminded you to fly?" I really thought it was Ginny's little girl who thought of it, I'll tell you honestly, if she hadn't begged me all night, you wouldn't have thought of what to do until you died・・・・・・"

－－－－－－

Harry was gone, leaving only Cho Chang and Mo Wen in his place.

"What are you doing here?" Autumn said in a low tone, "Aren't you with Fleur?" ”

Mo Wen smiled and stretched out his hand, "I'm here to invite my Christmas dance partner!" Beautiful young lady, do I have this honor to attend the Christmas Ball with you? ”

Cho covered her mouth in disbelief, "Y-Haven't you been chasing Delacul, why didn't you invite her?" ”

Mo Wen shrugged, "I want to get her hands on her, but something meaningful like the Christmas Ball naturally has to be with your favorite person, Beautiful Autumn, are you willing to be my dance partner?" ”

Mo Wen stretched out his hand again.

"I, I'm willing, I'm willing・・・・・・" Qiu suddenly threw herself into Mo Wen's arms and sobbed in a low voice.
