"Ao ......" Fleur suddenly said in a long voice, "I'm sorry, I just remembered, I already have an appointment." ”

Clever people can see that Fleur is just a prevarication.

But Ron couldn't see it.

He also let out a soft "oh", and then he realized how stupid he was, everyone, everyone was looking at him, and he was like he was dizzy. The seventh-graders in the hallways looked at him with mockery and sneer.

It's like looking at a toad that wants to eat swan meat.

It was a strange feeling: a minute ago, he felt like a snake wriggling his internal organs, and now all of a sudden, he felt as if he had no internal organs at all, not only did he not have internal organs, but even his heart and brain had been hollowed out.

Ron tried to pretend he was calm: "Oh, okay, it's okay. ”

But I don't know how pale and bloodless his face is at the moment.

Fleur added, "I'm really sorry. ”

Ron said, "It's okay, ha...... Haha......"

They stood there looking at each other for a moment, and Ron was embarrassed, but he didn't even dare to say goodbye.

Fleur was the first to say, "That's it......"

"Okay. Ron pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said in a "brisk" tone.

"Okay, goodbye. Fleur said naturally, turning away, her silver hair glistening.

"Wait. Ron stopped her from behind, he didn't know why he did it, but he did.

"Who are you going with?" Ron asked.

"Hmm......" Fleur thought for a moment, and smiled, so sunny, "It's Harry Potter." ”

"Oh, well, it's Harry Potter. Ron turned and walked away.

He felt his entrails return, but it was filled with lead, still by Harry Potter's own hands.

Ron had forgotten all about dinner. He slowly walked back upstairs to the Gryffindor common room, and with each step, his steps became heavier, and Fleur's voice echoed in his ears: "Harry Potter, it's Harry Potter." ”

He sat in a corner of the common room with a pale face.

Listening to the anticipatory conversations of the students coming and going, it seems that they all already have dance partners, and it seems that he is the only one in the whole school who does not have a dance partner!

Parvati enters through the hole behind the portrait.

Ron didn't hesitate to stand up and shout, "Parvati, can you come with me to the prom?"

Parvati said in a tangled way: "But I have already promised Seamus." ”

Ron was struck a blow in his heart again.

"Is my sister okay, though...... Her name is Padma, she is in Ravenclaw, she is in third grade, and she can't go to the prom yet. ”

Ron nodded frantically.

......

Gryffindor table.

"I'm sorry, I refuse. Harry raised his head slightly, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said.

Fleur took a big step back.

She had mustered up a lot of courage to invite Harry to be her dance partner, and in her mind, Harry didn't immediately agree, but she had to think about it, but Harry didn't hesitate for a second before refusing.

Fleur left disappointed.

And the Gryffindor students were boiling.

"Merlin, that's Fleur Delacour!"

"She's inviting Harry!"

"But Harry seems to have refused!" said one of the boys, grief-stricken.

"Crazy!"

"If it were me, as long as I could dance with Fleur, I would be willing to be a licking dog. ”

"That's why it's the famous Harry Potter, and you're a dead man. ”

Hermione smiled and said, "So, Harry, who are you going to choose as your dance partner?"

While he was talking, another person came.

It's Victor Krum.

His swarthy face was even darker, for red and black were also black.

He looked at Hermione and said in a rough voice, "Miss Granger, can I ask you to be my dance partner?"

Hermione looked at Harry pleadingly.

Harry smiled slightly, "Krum, I'm Hermione's boyfriend, you know?"

Krum left without saying a word, as if he was sad, but in fact, only he knew that he seemed to have a big stone in his heart.

The image of Harry slaying the dragon with a sword shocked his mind, and he felt that it was time for him to give up his unrealistic illusions about Hermione, so he took the initiative to come here to make Harry completely break his mind.

The pressure Harry put on him was just too much.

It seems that giving up is the best option.

After thinking about this, he felt much more relaxed.

George at the other side of the long table said, "Fred, how are you looking for a dance partner?"

Fred said, "How can I have time, a lot of people have taken a fancy to our canary cookies lately, and I'm busy making more." ”

"Then you have to hurry, I'm afraid that the good girls have been robbed, and you will be ashamed then." ”

Fred said, "Isn't that easy?"

With that, he raised his head and surveyed the Gryffindor students.

"Hey, Angelina. Fred shouted at a girl.

Angelina was chatting with Arya Spinnett when she heard a shout and looked over to Fred.

"What's the matter?" she asked aloud.

"You don't have a dance partner yet, would you like to join me at the prom?"

Angelina looked at Fred with a measured gaze and said, "Okay." ”

Then he turned his face back to continue the conversation with Arya.

George gave Fred a thumbs up, "Yes, but you should teach our stupid brother how to chase girls." ”

Fred muttered, "He's hopeless, and he can't be taught." ”

......

As she walked out of the auditorium, Fleur ran into two other warriors, Poliaco Brown of Durmstrang and Vincent Picoquey of Beauxbatons.

Together, they said, "Fleur, can I invite you to the Christmas party?"

Then they looked at each other hostilely.

Vincent Picoqui thought to himself, we're a school, and you can't be an outsider.

It's a pity that Fleur was just rejected by Harry, and she was in a bad mood, so she said with a cold face: "It's not free, you can find someone else." ”

After Fleur left, Poliaco Brown said with a mocking expression: "Who said just now, she knows Fleur very well, as long as she is invited, she will definitely be able to agree?"

Vincent Picoquapi said with a smile: "That's better than you, who achieved the sixth place in the first level, and even had the face to invite Fleur." ”

Poliaco Brown said angrily: "Aren't you a point taller than me, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?" ”

"Hmph. Vincent Picoquay snorted and walked away.

......

On weekends.

There was an episode at school.

It's still about the dance partners at the prom.

It was a boy in Slytherin and a boy in Durmstrang who wanted to invite a girl from Slytherin House.

As a result, both of them did not like each other, and a conflict broke out and a fight was fought with magic.

Both of them were not lightly injured and were admitted to the school hospital.

Principal McGonagall was about to blow up, how many times did she say it, she was humble, she made a good impression on the guests, and she had the demeanor of a big school.

As a result, because of the dance partner's business, everyone was stopped at school.

After learning about this, Professor McGonagall directly recorded a major punishment for the Hogwarts students, and placed them on probation for a year, and if it weren't for the intercession of other professors, she might have been expelled from Hogwarts.

And Professor Karkaroff was also helpless to give the same punishment to the Durmstrang boys, if he didn't punish him, what would others think of him? What do you think of Durmstrang School?

If he is said to be unfair, that he does not distinguish between right and wrong, and that he protects his students, then the reputation of the school will be ruined.

Harry's Cottage.

Hermione frowned and said, "Isn't Headmaster McGonagall's punishment too harsh? Anyway, it's the fault of both sides, if that Slytherin student accidentally makes any mistake in the next year, it will be really expelled." ”

Harry said, "No, I agree. Good school spirit and discipline are not so easy to form, but they are extremely easy to destroy, in fact, that Slytherin student can secretly sinister the boy of Dum Strong, so that as long as it is not put on the surface, Professor McGonagall will turn a blind eye. However, he openly beat the Durmstrang students, and the effect was so bad. ”

"Have you heard of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" said Harry, still resentful.

"No, what's wrong with this school of magic?" asked Hermione curiously.

Harry said, "It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it, because this school disappeared from the wizarding world in a flash of time. ”

"I don't think it's coming soon...... This school of magic was built in 1897, which is less than a hundred years in time, and Dumbledore is more than a hundred years old, so he should still have watched this glorious school of magic go from prosperity to end......"

Hermione was intrigued by the story Harry was going to tell and couldn't help but move closer to Harry.

Harry smiled and took Hermione in his arms.

Hermione struggled slightly, unable to get out, so she had to blush.

Harry beckoned from the shelf, and a copy of The History of the Decline and Fall of Modern Schools of Witchcraft flew into his hand.

It dawned on Hermione that she had never read the book because she preferred to study the long lost history.

Harry waved his hand, and the magic book automatically turned to the page of the book about the school of witchcraft and wizardry, and Harry said slowly: "This school, when it was founded, caused a huge sensation, the president of the International Federation of Wizards, the ministers of magic of dozens of countries, and top wizards from all walks of life were invited to attend the opening ceremony. The faculty of this school is too strong, and in just a dozen years, it has caught up with countless magic schools, and it was once comparable to Hogwarts. ”

Hermione looked amazed and couldn't wait to ask, "Then what? Why did it die?"

"Don't worry. Harry rested his chin against Hermione's fluffy hair, and reached through Hermione's collar, stumbling at the bottom of his hand.

"Harry, you're ......" Hermione wriggled uneasily.

Harry continued: "Just when all wizards were optimistic about the future of this school of witchcraft and wizardry, a scandal was born. ”

"A boy from a pure-blood family in their school actually wants to QJ a mixed-race girl! This incident caused a stir in the wizarding world, and what all wizards didn't expect was that the school would not punish this criminal!"

"Instead of expelling, he was kept in school and allowed to graduate from the magic school normally!"

Hermione shouted angrily, "How can there be such a school!"

"That's right, that's why some non-pure-blood wizards sighed at the time: pure-bloods, human masters, non-pure-blood wizards and Muggle-blooded wizards are just inferior wizards, how dare they compare with those adults. ”

The corners of Harry's mouth crossed a cold arc: "So in the end, this school of magic and magic collapsed in just a few years. ”

"What's even more ironic is that at that time, there were two pure-blood wizards cheating in the Hogwarts senior wizarding level exam, and Hogwarts was mercilessly expelled, because the school rules and discipline are like this, so the international community can see that the school of witchcraft and wizardry is just a façade. ”

Listening to the ins and outs, Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

And Harry ...... Of course, she took advantage of Hermione's distraction and ate tofu wildly.

......
