Chapter 63: Hermione, Will You Come With Me to the Ball?

From the beginning of this trip to Hogsmeade, Hogwarts has completely entered the Christmas holidays.

However, there is still a week to go before Christmas, so there is plenty of time to continue preparing for the Santa Ball.

Of course, in a sense, this is really not a good thing for Hallie, after all, she has to endure endless "bombardment".

The students seem to think that inviting Harley is a copy of some kind of game, and if the invitation is successful, the boss will be passed.

And this boss is unique, and can only be cleared once during the entire Christmas season.

So the last thing Hallie wanted to see appeared, and the boys and girls began to come in droves to invite her.

In particular, some people have a lot of crooked ideas.

After their first failed invitation to Harley, they probably thought that Harley had rejected too many people and would have forgotten about herself very quickly.

So they came out again after a day, or even only half a day, to launch a second invitation.

This seriously increased Hallie's workload, which really made her feel helpless.

In addition, what does it mean for those first- and second-year wizards to invite themselves?

Do you look like that kind of pervert (tremor)?!

Harley very much wants to make a solemn statement, even if she is a witch, she will not have no bottom line to this level!

Just three days after the holidays and four days before the Ball, Harley thought she was on the verge of turning down more than 300 people.

And when the other two warriors, Miguel and Harumi Tsuchimon, also came to invite Harry, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

When Harley finished rejecting the earth at the table, and picked up the knife and fork that she had put down no longer who knew how many times, Hermione laughed out loud:

"Hallie, how many people have you rejected?"

"I don't know, I didn't count." Harley casually cut the steak in front of her,

"But it doesn't matter. I've been used to this kind of thing since I get so many letters from fans every week. ”

"Well, I'm so popular, after all."

Listening to Harry's words, Hermione couldn't help but glare at her viciously.

She knew that she didn't have many invitations and was not popular, but she actually stabbed herself in the heart!

Damn it!

"So who exactly do you want to invite?"

Hermione seemed to ask casually, but she made no secret of the anticipation in her eyes,

"And what exactly was you trying to say that day?"

"It's been so long since the Christmas holidays, and you still don't want to tell me?"

"What did I want to say that day?" Hallie deliberately ignored the first question, or chose to combine the two questions into one answer,

"Actually, what I want to say is very simple. What I wanted to say that day was ......"

She swallowed the last bite of food in her mouth, laid her knife and fork neatly on the table, and gently wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

Then she stood up abruptly and said in a loud voice:

"Miss Hermione Granger, I'd like to invite you to be my dance partner, would you like to?"

Hermione was momentarily stunned, and the knife and fork in her hand fell on the plate.

Harley's voice wasn't particularly loud, but it was unusually clear in the noisy auditorium.

The Great Hall quickly fell silent, and all the young wizards looked at the Gryffindor table in surprise.

Even the professors in the faculty were watching this scene with interest and vaguely looking forward to something.

Hermione's breathing suddenly became faint, and she couldn't even hear it clearly.

After a long while, her eyes were a little sparkling, and then she covered her mouth in surprise and nodded vigorously:

"Hallie, I do!"

(Look at PS, it's important!) )

In an instant, the auditorium burst into cheers!

Fred and George took the lead in standing up from their seats, clapping and shouting, and throwing several salutes into the air.

The salute exploded instantly, but this time it was filled with pink smoke and a large number of golden ribbons.

The image of a lion appeared again in the smoke, but this time it was two-headed.

Many of the students also applauded, and some even evolved into Tarzan in an instant, letting out a howl of unknown meaning from their mouths.

In the eyes of all the boys, this is probably the best outcome.

Although I was rejected, others didn't succeed either, didn't I?

Hallie ended up attending the Christmas Ball with the other girls, and she wasn't so embarrassed to be rejected, wasn't it?

However, there are many girls who have gritted their teeth.

Damn! Why wasn't Harley inviting herself? Obviously she looks much better than Hermione!

At the Slytherin table, Krum was inexplicably melancholy.

His favorite girl invited his second favorite girl to the Christmas Ball, and neither of them was invited away by the other boys.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

However, he still politely applauded and offered his blessings.

In the faculty seat, Professor McGonagall applauded the most.

It's a nice thing that the jade cabbage you raise is not taken away by other wild boars.

As for the internal friction between the cabbage, Professor McGonagall felt that although he was very old, he could accept this traditional British art.

Professor Snape's applause was soft, but the expression on his face was particularly delighted.

Great, really great, this situation was what Professor Snape would like to see the most.

And Hermione is also a Muggle-born genius witch, and she also has good attainments in potions, and she has the figure of someone back then.

For a moment, Professor Snape felt that his soul had been satisfied, as if he had fulfilled some wish.

Professor Dumbledore looked at this scene with a smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

He seemed to think of someone, of a certain summer, a summer that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

After a long time, Professor Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to be young. ”

…………

That afternoon, the news of Hallie and Hermione attending Christmas together spread throughout the castle at breakneck speed.

Everyone felt very incredible, but it was inexplicably reasonable.

After all, this is the Great Empire, and no matter what happens in this land, everyone will not be too surprised.

However, except for Hallie, there are still very few successful invites at present.

Especially the outstanding students who have attracted much attention, such as Hufflepuff prefect Cedric, Durmstrang Krum, and Beauxbatons' Fleur, have basically not come out with any news so far.

Of course, this is also normal.

After all, the invitation to the Christmas Ball dance partner is a breath-holding contest, and most people are hiding there, and they are reluctant to announce the news until the last minute before the Christmas Ball begins.

That night, Hermione seemed to be curious about some kind of aquatic creature, so she didn't even eat and went to the library.

Hallie went to the auditorium alone to settle dinner first, and was going to bring one to Hermione by the way.

As she reached the entrance to the Great Hall, Harley was confronted by Fleur alone.

"Good evening, Harley." Fleur greeted with a smile, and then cut directly to the topic,

"I didn't expect that I just didn't come to the auditorium for lunch at noon today, and you've already found a Christmas dance partner!"

"After all, it's better to strike first." Hallie spread her hands,

"I can't wait for everyone else to leave, and then I'll invite them."

"Huh~ Why can't you?" Fleur tilted her head slightly,

"When I went to a champagne bar in France with my father, I often heard the wizard there:"

"If you want to chase a girl and she doesn't have a boyfriend...... I mean, if you want to invite someone to be your dance partner, and she doesn't have a dance partner yet. ”

"Then your competitors may be all the people who look up to her and invite her."

"But if she already has a dance partner, then you'll be left with her dance partner."

"After all, although the famous flower has a master, I will loosen the soil."

Many interested little wizards watching this scene were stunned for a moment, what kind of wise saying is this?

It seems to be said...... Makes sense!

It dawned on everyone that many people had left the crowd of onlookers in a hurry, ready to start acting immediately.

However, Fleur's words are not over, and they push the atmosphere to a new climax again:

"So, Hallie, can I ask you to be my dance partner?"

This time it was Hallie's turn to be stunned.

She was still wondering why Fleur was telling herself so many crooked "big truths".

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that the main event was still to come, and it was Fleur who wanted to pry Hermione's corner.

And Harley wasn't just surprised.

She also sighed a little, even if she really wanted to invite, shouldn't she take the initiative? What is the situation when Fleur takes the initiative to invite herself?

Fleur and Hermione are still in a different situation, and they haven't been with Fleur for long.

And even if she is a desperate witch now, the way she plays Sequence Six is extremely special.

As long as she wants to, the attraction to certain groups will be very strong.

But Harley thought to herself, she didn't have the ability to activate Fleur.

As for Harley's ability to activate casually and accidentally radiate to Fleur, then this probability is almost non-existent.

After all, he is a serious person, and he doesn't want Hogwarts to become a branch of the Witch Sect Hogwarts or a branch of the Rose School, Indulgence School, Hogwarts.

However, Hallie reacted quickly:

"I'm sorry, Fleur. I probably can't say yes to you directly, after all, I've already invited Hermione. ”

"I would like to ask, why did you choose to invite me?"

"Of course, it's because I don't have any other invitees that I can eye." Fleur raised her neck proudly,

"Beauxbatons alone, there wasn't a single boy in the whole school that I could look at."

"I'm not asking for anything at all, my ...... Dance partner's magic level should be at least on par with mine, right? ”

But Beauxbatons doesn't have a single boy who can live up to that standard. As for the situation at other schools, to be honest, it is similar to Beauxbatons. ”

"On the contrary, you are the best, so I thought about inviting you."

Speaking of this, Fleur couldn't help but sigh and shook her head,

"Alas, it's a pity I'm a step slower. I knew that noon would not have eaten in the carriage with the others. ”

"There's no way around that, after all, time isn't so easy to reverse." Hallie smiled and comforted Fleur,

"But if you're really short of a dance partner, then I can introduce you to a ......"

Before Harley could finish speaking, a man suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

It's Ron Weasley.

He plucked up his courage in front of everyone, and asked in his loudest voice:

"Miss Delacour, I've liked you for a long time...... Can I invite you to be my dance partner? ”

Fleur didn't even look at Ron, as if a sea cucumber appeared at her feet.

And Ron seemed to reflect what he had done, and his face instantly turned pale.

And the surrounding crowd also burst into laughter, as if they saw a toad that wanted to eat swan meat.

After coming to his senses, Ron didn't even want to stay for a second, so he rushed out of the crowd without looking back.

He sprinted all the way up the stairs, stumbling down but getting back up again, leaving behind the shouts of his friends Seamus and Dean and the laughter of others without looking back.

"Who is he?"

After hearing the cacophony of laughter around her, Fleur finally raised her head and scribbled a glance at Ron's funny back,

"Is he your Hogwarts student? Or is it a student from that other school? ”

"Hogwarts," Harley said flatly, "Ron Weasley of Gryffindor." ”

"I know the rest of the Weasley family very well, and I have a particularly good relationship with the Weasley twin brothers, the fourth and fifth in their family, and even sponsored a start-up fund for both of them."

"But I'm the only one who doesn't know Ron. After all, his grades were average, and he had bullied Hermione and made Hermione cry. ”

Fleur nodded, "That's quite disgusting indeed. There weren't many people who could make Hermione cry. ”

"By the way, who did you want to introduce me to earlier?"

"I've got you a dance partner...... "Hallie smiled mysteriously, then whispered something in Fleur's ear.

Listening to Hallie's words, Fleur was a little surprised at first, and finally a smile appeared on her face.

"I hope you don't lie to me."

After listening to what Harley said, Fleur smiled, leaving the crowd of onlookers stunned for a moment.

However, Fleur didn't care about the licking dogs who spontaneously gathered around, but chatted with Harley on her own.

Fleur was completely uninterested in the previous Ron Wess and forgot about him after learning how he had made Hermione cry.

Instead, it was the Weasley twins, the two impressive living treasures, and their joke careers that attracted Fleur's great interest.

Especially after hearing that Halle had sponsored a large amount of money from Fred and George for their careers, and learned about several products, Fleur exclaimed:

"The twin brothers really should come to Beauxbatons, and Teacher Mary will love such an alchemy gifted student."

The two of them made their way through the crowd and walked to the Gryffindor table.

(Ps. I can't go any further into this invitation, so I can only write it like this, and it is probably the feeling of friends attending a prom together.) If you go a little deeper, there will probably be a suspicion of some kind of flower, and the chapter is easy to disappear. )

(Seriously, the author has conceived some very wonderful plots, but unfortunately this is not suitable for the author.) After the book is finished, the author will think about it carefully, make up a better side story about the invitation link, and try to write as sweet as possible. )
