Hearing Ginny's gloating laughter, Ron, who was still depressed just now, immediately raised his head and glared at her.

"What are you laughing at?!"

"Can't I laugh when I think of something happy?" Not to be outdone, Ginny glared back.

"It's not you I refused, why are you angry at me? You have what it takes to yell at Fleur Delacour. ”

Ginny crossed her hands on her back, and the angry expression on her face was very similar to that of Mrs. Weasley.

Ron snorted, ignored Ginny, turned his head and asked:

"Harry, why did you come along? Aren't you going to invite Cho Zhang? ”

Harry hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not inviting her anymore. ”

He had just witnessed a completely failed invitation from the perspective of a bystander.

Harry suddenly realized that he was rejected on the spot and then ridiculed by onlookers for becoming someone else's dance partner compared to the girl he liked...... It's even more terrifying.

That feeling is like a clown in the spotlight, with almost nowhere to hide!

Harry was indeed tempted to ask Cho to be his dance partner, but he was more afraid of following in Ron's footsteps and becoming a laughing stock...... He's going to have a face, too!

"It's ridiculous," Ron complained, "We two warriors, and we can't find a dance partner?" ”

Ron said, suddenly looking at Hermione, who had been silent, and he pretended to be casual and asked:

"Alas, Ginny...... Granger, don't you both have a dance partner? ”

"I don't think so, Harry and Ginny, Granger...... Hermione, you're my dance partner. Ron proposed:

"The four of us can make do with the Yule Ball."

Ron said that he was okay, but he didn't think so in his heart.

His only requirement for his dance partner is to be beautiful, and to bring it out to have a good face, as for who the other party is, it doesn't matter.

Hermione had shaggy hair and front teeth, which were now straight, of course.

But even so, her appearance can only be called mediocre, and even a little ugly.

If it had been before, Ron wouldn't have looked down on Hermione at all, and it would have been impossible to invite this "nerd" who had basically no intersection in the past few years to be his dance partner.

But at the award ceremony of the Order of Merlin half a year ago, Ron was shocked to see Hermione dressed up in detail, and he never forgot it.

It's true that she's not as beautiful as Swinton and Delacul, but she's definitely prettier than most of the girls at Hogwarts when she's dressed up.

On the night of the Ball, you will be able to scare most people and become the center of attention at the prom by showing up with Hermione!

As Ron was immersed in the fantasy moment, Hermione directly refused, "No, I already have a dance partner." ”

The expression on Ron's face froze, and he said with disbelief on his face, "How is it possible?!" ”

Hermione raised her eyebrows and said, "Why can't it be?" ”

"I asked your roommate Lavender, and she said you don't have a dance partner!" Ron said bluntly.

"Lavender?" Hermione shook her head and said, "She doesn't know about me. ”

"Oh, who is that man?!" Ron asked.

"I want to ...... This is my private matter, and it has nothing to do with you. Hermione said.

Ron said impatiently, "Granger, you don't really have to lie. ”

"Lying?" Hermione had a dangerous look on her face. "What do you mean?"

"I know you're good friends with Rove and Neville, but Rove has promised Swinton, and Neville has invited Hannah." Ron said with an expression that saw through the truth:

"Who else but the two of them would ask you to be your dance partner? You don't have to lie for the sake of your face......"

It was so ugly that Ginny frowned, and even Harry gave Ron frequent glances to shut him up.

Hermione's eyes glowed with a terrifying light, and she said coldly, "You mean to say that I'm so bad that no one wants to ask me to be a dance partner?" ”

"I ...... Of course I didn't mean that, okay, okay, I know you're a good girl. Ron grinned:

"I apologize to you, okay? You can promise me......"

Hermione interrupted Ron's words with a sneer, "Why did I agree to your invitation, Weasley, do we know each other well?" ”

"Fleur doesn't like you, you don't think I can take a fancy to you, do you?

Do you have excellent grades, or are you very strong in magic, or are you handsome? ”

Hermione sneered, "You don't touch anything, you get a Warrior spot from Rove, and you only get a ridiculous four points, and no matter how hard you try, you can surpass me by a fraction." ”

"Even if I can't find a dance partner, I won't look for you!"

Ron's face flushed with scold, and he was about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion at the door.

I saw a group of Gryffindor students rush in, and they actually hugged Krum and walked into the common room.

Several of them looked at Krum, especially Ron, and when they saw their idol, they immediately became excited and couldn't help themselves, and put the quarrel behind them.

His voice hurried, "Oh, Krum, my God...... How did he come here? ”

"I don't know." Harry wondered, "Could it be that you're here to visit our house?" ”

"Possibly...... I'm going to have to get his autograph this time! Ron hurriedly rummaged through his bag for a quill, and he screamed again:

"Oh, Krum is coming towards us, he'...... It's not going to be a discussion between the two of us about the Triwizard Tournament, is it?! ”

Thinking so, Ron had already picked up the quill and parchment, and he smiled like a friend and waved at Krum.

But Krum didn't look at Ron at all, and walked directly past him, came to Hermione, and said in a thick accent:

"Hello, Hemi-En G-Er-Jay...... I would like to invite you to be my dance partner. ”

As soon as these words came out, almost the entire Gryffindor common room exploded.

Ron's eyes widened in disbelief, and his hand holding the quill stiffened in mid-air.

Hermione looked surprised, she didn't understand why Krum had invited her, the only time she had crossed paths with him was a few times they had met in the library.

But every time Krum went, he was followed by a large number of noisy girls, so that Hew never went to the library again, and moved his study place to the Ravenclaw Vault.

Hermione frowned, looked at Krum, and seeing that he wasn't joking, she refused, "Sorry, I already have a dance partner." ”

These words stirred up even more waves, especially the girls who followed closely, who were looking at Hermione with jealousy on their faces just now, and the next second they were stunned.

After Hermione lightly rejected Krum, she glanced at Ron contemptuously, as if looking at a clown, and she said coldly:

"See? Not everyone is like you, who has no one to invite and feels like someone else is lying, and your arrogance really makes me sick. ”

After Hermione finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the girls' dormitory, and Ron looked ugly as if he had been slapped in the face.

"Well deserved!"

Ginny looked at Ron with disdain, flicked her long red hair back, and then dangled her arms like a ballet dancer and chased after Hermione.

Krum, who was rejected, finally looked at Ron, and he asked with a somewhat gloomy face, "Who is her dance partner?" ”

Ron didn't speak, Harry shook his head and said, "I don't know ......"

Krum muttered discontentedly:

"Alas, all the beautiful girls are famous, what's the use of being an international star?"

Krum strode away, and the group followed him, leaving Harry and Ron soon to be the only ones left in the common room.

Harry looked at Ron, who had been rejected twice in half an hour, and cautiously asked, "Are you alright?" ”

"I ...... It's okay...... I'm ......" Ron's face suddenly turned hideous, and he said angrily towards the incompetence of the girls' dormitory:

"If you refuse, you refuse, what's the big deal, it's like who doesn't have a dance partner...... George and Fred had already found me a good dance partner...... I've been looking for it a long time ago!! ”

Harry didn't speak, just sighed softly...... Rather than believing in twins, it is better to believe that he is Merlin.
