Chapter 191: Shirley's Confession
After the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrived at Hogwarts, a good cause called for the students to vote for the prettiest girls in the three schools of witchcraft and wizardry.
Fourteen-year-old Shirley Swinton, even though her cheeks and body have not fully opened, still beat Fleur Delacour by a slight margin to become the voting champion.
Even a mixed-race baby like Fleur can't suppress Shirley, which shows how beautiful and stunning her face is.
In particular, the iconic red ponytail has become a beautiful scenery at Hogwarts, so that many girls are reluctant to wear a ponytail anymore.
It's like no one wants to bump into a beautiful woman, and they will look ugly.
Therefore, Shirley is undoubtedly the most popular dance partner for most boys.
When she left the Ravenclaw table, flicking her ponytail and walking alone in the crowd, most of the boys noticed at first place.
But no one stepped forward to invite for a while, she had already rejected the invitations of many boys, and students who had no confidence really didn't dare to come forward to talk.
But after a moment of hesitation, Dondelion seized the opportunity to leave the Slytherin table first, stopping Shirley, who stared at the mouth-watering face and said with a bright smile:
"Swinton, I'm sorry to bother you, but I can't stand the instigation of a few friends, and they bet me that if I invite you to be my dance partner, I will fail, and if they lose, they will lose me two thousand Galleons."
Dondelion grinned and said empathetically:
"If you dislike it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be my dance partner, as long as you agree verbally and help me win the bet, and then regret it."
"And if you bet to win two thousand Galleons, we'll both score five or five points." Dondelien smiled earnestly:
"For the sake of your classmates, you can help."
The so-called "gambling contract" is, of course, a lie made up by Dondelion, and his real purpose is to invite Shirley to be his dance partner.
But if you send an invitation directly, there is a high possibility of rejection, and Don Delien plans to find another way to trick Shirley in other ways.
He had spent money to buy information from Ravenclaw students, and knew that Swinton worked as an assistant to Scamander to earn living expenses, indicating that she was short of money.
Faced with such a poor girl, Dondelion believed that the Garon offensive would be more effective.
As long as you agree to the fake dance partner plan, you can get 1,000 Galleons, and Swinton will definitely agree, after all, that's 1,000 Galleons, which is equivalent to her salary for several years!
Once Swinton agreed, Dondelion would have the means to do it in the future, so that she would eventually become his dance partner.
Spending 1,000 Galleons to pick up a girl is certainly extravagant, but it's worth it to have this amazing girl as your dance partner.
Dondelion was about to increase his offensive and change five points to seven or three points, when the ponytail girl's next sentence made him break the defense in an instant.
I saw Shirley frowning and looking at him, puzzled, "Are you?" ”
Dondelion froze in place.
There will be overlap in the curriculum between the different houses, as in the case of Slytherin and Ravenclaw, where classes on charms, history of magic, and herbs are taken together.
In the past four years, although he and Swinton have hardly spoken, they have also attended classes in the same classroom many times, and they have seen each other at least hundreds of times, both near and far, right?
Swinton didn't even know who he was, was he so nonexistent?
Dondelion's chest suddenly choked uncomfortably, and he couldn't say a word.
Seeing that there were more and more witches around Rove, Shirley ignored the inexplicable guy and walked directly around him towards the Hufflepuff table.
Quite a few students noticed this scene, and they seemed to realize something.
The Hufflepuff students were the first to quiet down, and this eerie silence soon spread to the other tables, and the entire auditorium slowly fell silent.
The girls who were crowded around the teenager saw Shirley coming, and they all subconsciously moved left and right to avoid and make way for her.
The ponytailed girl walked quickly through the crowd with light steps and walked in front of Rove, who looked at the somewhat disheveled teenager who was being pulled and smiled.
"Still laughing!" Rove rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that there is a way to help me get rid of the entanglement?" ”
Shirley glanced at the witches around her, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she said softly in a soft voice, "I'm here to help you." ”
The boy raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, how do you want to help?" ”
"I want to ......"
Shirley took a deep breath, looked up at him, and said loudly:
"Rove Scamander, I like you, I've liked you for a long time, and I'd like to invite you to be my dance partner, is that okay?"
The girl's voice was not loud in the empty auditorium, but it was so clear and powerful that everyone could hear it.
When many people saw Shirley walking towards Rove, they had already vaguely realized in their hearts that she might be asking him to be a dance partner.
The two of them are inseparable on weekdays, and this kind of invitation is normal, but the phrase "I like you" ...... Is this a confession?
Swinton was confessing to Scamander in front of all the teachers and students in the school?!
Everyone was shocked for a while, everyone originally thought she was a taciturn girl, but they didn't expect her to have such a brave and unrestrained side.
Rove was stunned, he stared at Shirley's clean eyes, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled:
"Miss Shirley Swinton, I accept your invitation."
The next scene made everyone stunned, only to see the ponytail girl in front of everyone, especially those witches, blushing slightly, and holding Rove's hand.
She clasped the young man's hand, looked at the schoolgirls around her, smiled brightly, as if declaring sovereignty, and said arrogantly and scoundrelly:
"Rove is already my dance partner, don't invite him anymore, and of course, don't invite me again."
Gryffindor Table,
Hermione stared blankly at this scene, her lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, for no reason, she felt very wronged, and immediately shed tears.
In the faculty seat, McGonagall glared at Rove viciously, and the jade cabbage she raised was about to be taken away by a wild boar before it could reach maturity.
Professor Sprout reminded: "Millerva, it was Swinton's confession that she took away the best students of our college, and it is our college that suffers. ”
Snape also snorted coldly, he hated the puppy student the most, but he immediately revealed a trance, and all that came up was indescribable bitterness.
Dumbledore blinked, the corners of his mouth curled, and exclaimed, "It's good to be young." ”
After a brief period of silence, the auditorium became bustling again.
"Shirley, it's noisy here, let's go out for a walk." Rove suggested.
The ponytail girl immediately stood on tiptoe and replied obediently.
"Hey, okay."
