The quiet life of Hogwarts makes time go by quickly, and it seems that the Quidditch match with Slytherin was not long ago, but in fact, Hagrid had already brought the twelve Christmas trees in the Great Hall that were required each year.

The railings of the stairs and corridors were covered with holly and gold leaf, the helmets of the armor were flickering with candles, and at intervals a large bunch of mistletoe hung there. From the day they were hung up, Hogwarts couples could always be seen standing underneath.

Of course, the most of them were the girls who looked at Harry with the eyes that wanted to eat people.

Everyone wants to taste the lips of a savior, even if it's in a less ethical way.

"You have to be careful at night, and it's better not to have drinks that have been handed to you." In the common room, Hermione held a book in her hand and said to a grimacing Harry, "Before, I went to the bathroom, where there were a lot of girls discussing how to get you to drink aphrodisiac. They all want to be taken to Slughorn's party. You've also seen Fred and George's aphrodisiacs, which they bought from there. ”

"I remember, wasn't that forbidden?" Harry asked, puzzled, "The owls are all checked, how did they get into the castle?" And, why didn't you confiscate them? ”

"They didn't bring the potion into the bathroom, who knows where it was hidden?" Hermione closed the book and said, "And, Fred and George sent them in as perfume and cough drops. ”

"You know so much." Harry looked distressed and sighed.

"Anyway, be careful, there's no potion in the world that can dispel the aphrodisiac......"

Hermione left with that, and she had to prepare her clothes for the night. Slughorn didn't want the party to be dressed too old-fashioned, so the school uniform was a no-no. But there was nothing else for Hermione.

No, there was one, but she didn't want to wear it on such an occasion.

Harry spent a moment in the common room, and he was alone. It didn't take long for Ron and Lavender to get along, and they were basically together except for classes and copying Hermione's homework.

As a friend, Harry was happy for Ron, but to be honest, he was a little annoyed at times.

Those two people are really embarrassing sometimes......

Leaving the common room, Harry's mind kept thinking about what Hermione had just said. He wasn't blind, and he could see the way the girls stared at him. He also knew that the only way to refuse those troubles was to find a female companion.

It's just, who are you looking for?

The faces of the girls he knew came to mind, and only one made him feel a little strange, and it was also the girl who couldn't accept his invitation.

"Hi Harry!"

As he was walking, a voice stopped him. Harry turned around, his eyes lit up.

"Hey Luna, why are you here?" He asked.

"I just came out of the bathroom." Luna looked at Harry with her empty eyes and tilted her head, which made Harry cough in embarrassment, even though she didn't say anything.

"Are you nervous, Harry?" Luna asked.

"Ahem, no...... By the way, how are you this semester? I haven't seen you all the time. ”

"That's good. No, a little lonely, but Ginny was fine, and stopped two boys from calling me 'crazy girl' the other day......" Luna replied, "and the atmosphere in the courtyard was very strange, as if they had been spoiled by harassing flies. ”

"Yes......" Harry nodded slightly, plucking up his courage and asking, "Would you like to go with me to Professor Slughorn's evening tonight?" ”

"Evening? With you? Luna looked at Harry in surprise, which made Harry very nervous and incoherent.

"Yes, we're all going to take guests...... Maybe, I mean as a friend, you understand...... But if ......"

"No, I'm willing to go with you." Luna smiled happily, "As a friend!" ”

"Great...... Uh, I mean, see you in the foyer at eight o'clock in the evening......"

After agreeing with Luna, Harry was relieved as if he had put down a big stone in his heart. But apparently, he let go of this breath too soon. Little did he know that when he invited Luna, Peeves was hiding nearby.

So, when he returned to the common room, the news spread throughout Hogwarts.

Everyone was amazed, including Ron.

"You can choose anyone, I mean anyone!" At dinner, Ron was surprised and said, "But you chose Luna!" ”

"I think it's good." Ginny interjected, "I'm glad you took her, Harry. ”

"Okay, okay, you all go......" Ron said with a little sourness, but in an instant he became elated, as Lavender and Parvati came in, and the two immediately hugged each other.

As mentioned before, they are very good at embarrassing people, especially Parvati who came in with Lavender.

"Hi Harry, Hermione, Ginny." Parvati greeted them, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Professor Slughorn's evening." Hermione said, "Are you going?" ”

"No one invited me to ......" Parvati was a little frustrated, "I really want to go, it sounds great......"

"Then you go with me." Hermione immediately extended the invitation, which immediately surprised the others.

"This ...... Is this appropriate? "I can see that Parvati is happy and a little embarrassed.

"There's no gender for the guests, is there? How about it, do you want to go together? Hermione looked at Parvati and said.

"When...... Of course, it's fantastic! ”

"Then let's go back and prepare now, time is very tight, and there are many things to do...... First of all, you need a beautiful dress......" said the two of them and left the auditorium directly.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Harry came to the foyer, there were a lot of girls gathered here. He found Luna with those resentful, complaining eyes, and she was wearing a normal bright silver dress, which really surprised him.

"Let's go." Harry said.

"Okay!" Luna replied, "By the way, where is the party?" ”

"Professor Slughorn's office." Harry said, looking at Luna with those uncomfortable eyes, as he walked out, "I've heard that there are vampires, it's very unusual, I thought they all went to ...... I mean, there's the Dark Lord......"

They chatted as they walked towards Slughorn's office. As they walked, the sound of laughter and music gradually came to their ears, and when they reached the door of the office, they were even louder.

Harry knocked on the door, and soon it opened, and Professor Slughorn's huge belly appeared in front of him.

"Harry, my child!" He looked very happy and said loudly, "Come in, everyone here can't wait to meet you!" ”

As he spoke, he put his arm around Harry's shoulders and pulled him into the house without saying a word.
