In front of the foyer of the castle auditorium, the scene was strangely quiet.

Faced with Ron's invitation, Fleur didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

Ron was defeated in such an atmosphere, he didn't even have the courage to open his mouth again, and Field felt that if he could muster up the courage to speak again, maybe Fleur would agree, after all, Fleur's thoughts are impossible for ordinary people to guess.

Ron was gone, and Fleur turned her gaze back to Cedric.

Cedric, who had never known how to refuse Fleur, saw her attitude towards Ron just now, and her expression became serious: "I'm sorry, Miss Delacour, I'll make it clear to you again, I already have a dance partner, and I have no plans to change it." ”

With that, Cedric turned and entered the auditorium.

"Heyβ€”" Field sighed, Cedric himself was a kind man, so he spoke politely even to people he didn't know, and he was never domineering. So Fleur's attitude just now must have disgusted him.

Field shook his head and prepared to enter the Great Hall, where Rolf had already eaten. But as soon as he turned around, he was stopped.

"Field, can you be my dance partner?"

It was still Fleur who spoke, and the tone was still so natural, and there was no embarrassment after being rejected just now.

Everyone was now looking at Field.

After a moment's thought, Field smiled and nodded, then walked into the auditorium with Fleur smiling. Fleur's invitation came just in time, and if it had been a week earlier, Field might have declined it, but for now, he had no choice unless he was alone in the little club on Christmas night.

At the Hufflepuff table, his friends were teasing Field, saying that he was the envy of everyone in the castle because his dance partner was the most beautiful girl.

Field smiled wryly, and when he looked up, he saw Cedric looking at him, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.

A week before Christmas, the semester is over and it's time for students to go home for the holidays. However, not many people choose to go home for the holidays this year, except for most first, second and third grade students, and some seventh graders. Most of the other students chose to stay on campus.

Hufflepuff was the most crowded of the four houses, and now the common room was even more crowded. After all, although there are usually a lot of Hufflepuffs, everyone is in class, and they are not crowded in the common room as they are now.

Perhaps for the sake of the holidays, or perhaps for the generosity of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang representatives, the dinner at Hogwarts Castle was much more extensive, with a variety of delicious French stews and puddings to whet Field's appetite again. However, Fleur complained to him several times that the Hogwarts dinner was too greasy, and she was afraid that she would not be able to wear a dress by Christmas Day.

After confirming that the two would be present together as dance partners on Christmas night, Fleur had been pestering Field for several days to rehearse the dance together. According to Fleur's words, since she is a warrior who wants to lead the dance, she naturally wants to be the most dazzling focus of the night, and what she rehearses is naturally indispensable.

The cabin next to the auditorium was the same room where the Goblet of Fire had been chosen after the Triwizard Tournament Warriors, where Field and Fleur were rehearsing their dance. Field himself can't dance, but this guy suddenly read a lot of books about dance a few days ago, and you know that the pictures in the books will move anyway, only remember the posture and steps, and then cooperate with Field's extraordinary reaction speed and dexterity, so that an ordinary waltz is naturally handy.

"It's not bad, I didn't expect you to dance for the first time. "When it was time to rest, Fleur said.

"Whew-" Field breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, it's much more tiring than doing magic experiments." ”

Fleur looked at Field's appearance of wiping cold sweat, and laughed out loud: "Field, you should participate in more social activities, instead of always nesting in the laboratory like this, girls don't like you like boys like you, they like sunny boys." ”

Field looked up, revealing eight shiny teeth, and defiantly gave Fleur a big sunny smile.

Fleur snickered and said, "Okay, okay, your smile is indeed very sunny, but I was wrong, there are not many boys in the whole castle who are more handsome than you." ”

Field was about to say thank you, but Fleur added softly, "But it's still a long way from Cedric, if only he had agreed to come to the ball with me." ”

Field's face turned red for a while, and Fleur seemed to sense that she had said something inappropriate, so she apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Field, you know I didn't mean to, I'm a little outspoken." ”

Field was struck, and Fleur's explanation, honestly, might as well not have been explained.

Silently packing up his things, Field decided to leave quickly, in fact, he didn't hate Fleur, the experience of the two lives together for nearly fifty years told him that the girl in front of him was actually just a straightforward and simple girl who was a little too proud because of her beauty. However, I have to say that Fleur's way of speaking is really unpleasant, and that domineering appearance makes many people stay away from her.

In the early morning of Christmas, the heavy snow that had been falling for almost a week finally stopped. According to Ernie, the whole Hogwarts castle is now like a big cake. The snow on the grounds is like cream, and the gray and black walls are like chocolate.

On the grounds, Beauxbatons' light-blue carriage looked like a large pumpkin with frost in winter, and the gingerbread house next to it was Hagrid's cabin.

On the Black Lake, a layer of ice formed on the side of the big ship of Durmstrang, which became smooth and translucent, and the sail lines were stained with a layer of hoarfrost. Crystal clear, like a tight crystal ornament.

Field, who was running along the castle, looked at the snow in the distance and couldn't help but sigh, this is really a masterpiece of nature.

When Field returned to the Hufflepuff quarter, Rolf, Ernie, and Justin were all up, each with a pile of presents in front of them.

Field said hello, went to his bedside, and began to disassemble his own.

"Oh, another whole bunch of books, and it looks like I'm going to spend a lot of time reading them this year. Field put the books together and the rest on the other.

"Thank you, Rolf, this blue swan has beautiful feathers. ”

"Ernie, thank you for the water glass, it's beautiful. ”

"Thank goodness I finally have a dehumidifier and a lot of things in the lab are moldy, Justin, thank you so much. But before I can use it, I'll have to take some time to revamp it. Muggle appliances do not work in Hogwarts Castle. ”

After a long time, Field finished opening the present, and Ernie and Justin were watching two dragon models fight. These two models were Field's gift to them, and because of the live broadcast of Triwizard Tournament, the Fire Dragon model is now very popular.

Turning to look at Rolf, who was putting away the set of measuring cups that Field had given him, and seeing that everyone was ready, he beckoned them to go to the Great Hall for breakfast.
