Chapter 301 2 Lost Dogs
As evening approached, students crowded in front of the auditorium, waiting for eight o'clock to arrive.
Almost every student who came to the party had their own dance partner. Men and women gathered in front of the foyer, waiting for the door of the auditorium to be opened by Professor McGonagall.
Harry finally found his dance partner.
But to be more precise, it was his dance partner who came to him.
Two days ago, Fleur and Harry, two rejected losers, got together.
After being rejected by Sherlock, Fleur didn't want to attend any more dances with other people.
But as a Beauxbatons warrior, she must dance at the beginning of the ball. This is not something she can decide according to her own will.
So she had no choice but to find Harry, the only one she knew well at Hogwarts besides Sherlock, and ask him if he had found her dance partner.
Harry, who was struggling with the necessity of inviting a random girl to deal with the problem on the day of the prom, of course did not refuse.
He was not too embarrassed to invite other girls.
And tonight, Fleur and Harry naturally came to the door of the auditorium together.
The fact that they were each other's dance partners didn't cause much of a stir.
After all, everyone saw it in the auditorium a few days ago. Fleur's invitation to Sherlock was rejected, and the news that Harry's invitation to Qiu Zhang was rejected also came out later.
Every student knew that the two of them had no choice but to get together to cope with tonight's dance after being rejected.
Even Fleur didn't put on any gorgeous clothes, and with her always cold face, it was impossible to tell that she had any expectations for tonight.
Harry stood with her in the corner outside the auditorium. There was no one around them. After hesitating for a while, Harry chose to speak.
"Actually, you shouldn't have invited Professor Forrest at all. According to what I know about him, he would never agree to your invitation no matter what."
Fleur, who was already in a bad mood, said coldly.
"You think I'm not as good as your Professor Silk?"
Harry didn't expect that she would be so direct and not hide her intention to compete with Silk for Sherlock.
"That's not what I meant." Harry explained while secretly muttering in his heart. If that's what you think, then I do mean that.
"I want to say that Professor Forrest is a person who attaches great importance to the relationship between students and teachers. In his eyes, even if we first met during the summer vacation, you were still a student, and a student invited the professor to the dance. , it is absolutely impossible for him to agree."
After listening to Harry's explanation, Fleur did not speak. Instead, she stuck her head out and looked into the waiting crowd, but she did not see the figure she wanted to see.
At this moment, the time finally came, and Professor McGonagall opened the oak door of the auditorium.
Karkaroff came over with Krum, and Harry saw a beautiful girl wearing a blue robe beside him. At first, he just felt familiar and did not recognize who she was.
Then Cho Chang also took Cedric's arm and came to Harry's side.
Harry subconsciously wanted to step back, his face twisted a little, and he didn't want to have any direct contact with Qiu Zhang.
It's just that behind him is the wall of the castle, and he is completely in a state of no retreat.
"Hello, Harry."
Cedric greeted Harry.
His voice was still so gentle, but due to psychological effects, Harry would inevitably feel that this greeting was a bit harsh.
"Oh, Hello."
He tried his best not to look at Qiu Zhang, and Cedric didn't seem to notice anything unusual about him.
He seemed to want to talk to Harry about something, but fortunately at this time, Professor McGonagall helped Harry save him from such a difficult situation.
"Warriors please come here."
Cedric, Cho Chang, Harry and Fleur walked over together, and Krum and the girl in blue robes were already standing next to Professor McGonagall.
The other students entered the auditorium first, and the warriors and their dance partners lined up last.
And Harry finally discovered who the girl next to Krum was.
"Hermione!" He shouted Hermione's name with wide eyes.
Her hair was no longer messy, and her whole personality was completely different from before. Hermione, who was like two people, also greeted them.
"Hello, Harry, and Fleur."
Fleur also looked her up and down. She didn't recognize this girl at first glance. She was the stubborn girl with whom she had debated on the way to Sherlock's office.
Not only them, but other Hogwarts students who passed by the auditorium and had just recognized Hermione all had surprised expressions on their faces.
Only Ron walked into the auditorium with his dance partner Parvati with an expressionless face, as if he didn't see Hermione.
After everyone was seated in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the warriors and their dance partners to line up two by two and follow her in. They filed in and walked towards the big round table at the front of the auditorium where the judges were sitting. The people inside applauded enthusiastically.
The walls of the auditorium were covered with glittering silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and there were hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy hanging there, the result of a busy day for Flitwick. Results.
The four academy tables were also gone, replaced by a hundred small tables lit with lanterns, with about ten people sitting at each table.
The warriors were led to the round table where the referee sat.
Dumbledore had a smile on his face, as if he was in a good mood, but if anyone looked carefully into his eyes, they would find that the focus of his gaze did not seem to be on the auditorium. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com
Karkaroff saw Krum and Hermione walking together with the exact same expression on Ron's face.
Ludo Bagman was wearing a bright purple robe tonight with big yellow stars on it, and he applauded as enthusiastically as his classmates.
Madame Maxime shed her usual black satin uniform and wore a flowing lavender gown.
But Crouch was the only one missing from the referee, and Harry found that sitting in the fifth seat at the table was Percy Weasley, the third son of the Weasley family and now working in the Ministry of Magic.
Before the dance officially begins, it is natural to fill your stomach first.
The warriors and their partners sat down at the round table where the judges were sitting, and Percy specifically motioned for Harry to sit next to him.
When Fleur sat down, she finally found Sherlock.
He was sitting close to the round table where the warriors were sitting, which was full of Hogwarts professors.
