Chapter 319: A Chance Encounter

Harry didn't get angry, but went upstairs in despair.

Ginny followed, undoubtedly the most worried about Harry of all, and the only one to accompany Harry upstairs.

The others separated after leaving the classroom, not to escape Harry's anger, but to comfort Harry in their own way.

Hermione and Tifa go to the kitchen and find the house-elves to prepare a hearty dinner, hoping that the food will make Harry forget his sadness.

While waiting for dinner in the kitchen, Tifa asked, "Sister Hermione, do you already have a dance partner?"

"Well, it's decided."

"Is it Ron?"

"It's not."

"Who's that?" Tifa is curious, Hermione doesn't have many friends, Harry just invited Cho Chang, Knicks invited Luna, who else will go to the Yule Ball with Hermione?

Hermione tells the house-elves about everyone's favorite food, and casually replies, "Victor Krum."

"Oh."

Tifa answered, then thought about who it was, and was shocked when she matched the name with the person, and exclaimed, "Who?"

"Victor Krum." Hermione didn't look back.

Ti *** looked at Hermione in a daze, her brain was down. She hadn't imagined that Hermione would be Victor Klum's dance partner.

Thinking of Hermione's opening dance with Victor Krum at the Christmas ball, all the girls will drop their jaws, and what will follow is probably a monstrous resentment.

And Tifa was worried about what Hermione would do after the Santa Ball, and those envious, jealous and hateful ladies would definitely say bad things about Hermione everywhere, and she could even think of the content. For example, "Wickdor Krum must have chosen her as her dance partner, and Hermione must have been said to be the first beauty at Hogwarts in the Daily Prophet", "She must have seduced Wickdor Krum in some way", etc.

"Sister Hermione, the other girls will be jealous of you going to the Yule Ball with him." Tifa reminded tactfully.

"Well, I know, it can't get any worse than it is."

Tifa understood, Hermione was right, she couldn't be worse off than she was now. In fact, Hermione has had other female friends in recent years besides Tifa and Ginny. Tifa once wanted Luna to be her friend, but the two didn't have the right personality, and when they got together, they quarreled and ended up parting.

Those jealous girls who were going around saying bad things about Hermione was a kind of cold violence, but it didn't do much to Hermione, and Hermione was not in the same circle with them.

The only thing they can do is to clash with Hermione head-on, Hermione is a top student, and a head-on conflict can beat them.

After understanding Hermione's situation, Tifa became happy, and Hermione decided on a dance partner, and Ron was completely finished. Tifa began to fantasize about what it would be like for Ron to go to the Ball without a dance partner.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, the corners of my mouth turned up, and I laughed out loud.

"What's so happy?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing." Tifa covered her mouth and tried not to laugh. She understood that this was not right, and Nicks had told her not to always trouble Ron just because he had preconceptions about him. Because it's just as prejudiced as Ron.

"Don't laugh, it's done, let's take it." Hermione didn't think much of it.

Tifa nodded and left the kitchen with dinner with Hermione.

On the other hand, the Knicks knew that Hermione and Tifa were going to prepare a big dinner, but he didn't think it would help Harry, and Harry should have a drink with a few buddies in this situation. But he didn't have enough butterbeer in stock and needed to go to Hogsmeade to stock it.

The streets of Hogsmeade are lively. Most of the wizards who came to see the Triwizard Tournament gathered here, and when there were more people, there would naturally be fights.

As Nicks passes by the Pig's Head Bar, two procrastinating wizards pull each other out of it, constantly insulting each other's loved ones. The two rolled on the ground and parted for a while, as they drew their wands and cast curses on each other.

The people around gradually gathered around. The two of them fought and became turn-based, using a curse that was not very lethal and extremely insulting.

Nicks shook his head at the crappy spells of the two, if he unleashed those spells, the power would be increased by at least three times. Seeing that the two of them were comparing for a long time, they only had a blue nose and swollen face, and they didn't even see any blood, and he was disappointed and wanted to leave.

A hand grabbed him by the collar from behind.

"Why are you here?"

Nicks looked back and saw a mechanical eye scanning him. Its owner is Moody, a professor at Defence Against the Dark Arts. The Knicks didn't expect to meet each other in Hogsmeade, and they were scared out of a sweat.

"Professor, that, this. Haha."

"To answer my question, why are you here?" Moody's expression was serious.

"Well, I want to buy something." Nix replied.

"Come back with me." Moody gruffly pulled Knicks by the collar and left the crowd.

This Moody was pretended by Barty Crouch Jr., who was surprised to meet the Knicks in Hogsmeade. He hesitated to pack up the Knicks and mail them to Voldemort. In the end, he gave up on the idea. He needs Nyx to serve Voldemort willingly, and it is certainly not willing to send people now, he also needs to cultivate a relationship with Nix, and then pass on his beliefs to Nix.

Fake Moody pulls Nix towards the post office. At the same time, he asked, "How did you get out of school?"

Nix thought for a moment, and couldn't say anything about the secret passage. Regardless of whether the Moody's in front of you is true or not, you can't say. The real Moody would tell all the professors about the secret passage, and the fake Moody would report the secret passage to Voldemort. In the future, Voldemort is going to attack Hogwarts, how can he know about the existence of secret passages.

"Professor, I'll be Animagus."

"I know you've turned into a bat in front of me."

The Knicks were stunned, a little unsure whether the Moody in front of him was real or fake. Barty Crouch Jr. probably didn't know he knew he knew Animagus, and he had never used it in front of Barty Crouch Jr. since school started.

"Answer me, how did you get out of school?" Moody asked again.

"Filch doesn't know I'm going to be an Animagus, just transform and fly out." Nicks lied.

"Waste is waste, and even if you can cast spells, it's waste, and even a student can't look at it." Moody expressed disdain for Filch, and then said fiercely to the Knicks, "Wait for me here, I'll go get something."

Nicks watched Moody enter the post office, turned and left. Whether this Moody's is true or not, it's not good to stay. Going back with him would definitely alarm Professor McGonagall, and the confinement would be light.

Before entering the three-broom bar, the Knicks heard Moody's roar.

"Boy, you'll feel good when you go back to school."
