Chapter 493 Dance Partner

Soon, there is only one week left before vacation.

During this Christmas holiday, more people chose to stay in school than before. Even the junior students who were unable to attend the prom basically chose to stay, and during this period they were frantically looking for senior students to take them to the prom. , it no longer matters who the other party is, even Crabbe and Goyle have found dance partners.

It was only then that the two idiots, Harry and Ron, started to get anxious and frantically discussed how to invite dance partners. However, the two of them discussed this for several days, but still did not take any action.

The students who found their dance partners were so excited that they even became absent-minded in class.

It's just that except for a few professors...such as Flitwick, most professors still don't let the students be idle. Not only do they have a full schedule of classes every time, but they also give them a lot of homework.

Of course, Fish, who already had a shorthand quill, could handle this level of homework very easily. Some students even began to consider whether they should go to the reporter named Rita Skeeter and do the same. A quill comes to write homework.

This year, because people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang schools were coming as guests, Hogwarts was decorated with lights and decorations early, and the level of grandeur was far greater than in previous years.

The handrails of the marble stairs are covered with icicles that will never melt, and the twelve Christmas trees customarily placed in the auditorium are decorated with all kinds of baubles, from shiny holly berries to endless Hooting live golden owl.

The armors were enchanted so that they would sing Christmas carols whenever anyone passed by. It's just that they only know half of the lyrics, so every time they stop singing halfway through.

Peeves often hid in it. When the armor couldn't sing, he would make up some lyrics to fill in the song. They were all very rude and ugly words.

To this end, the administrator Filch found Fish and asked Maomao to help warn Peeves once before solving the problem.

In this generally anxious atmosphere, everyone ushered in the last day before the holiday...

Harry and Ron still haven't found a dance partner.

To be precise, neither of them have looked for it yet.

"Even if you don't have a dance partner, you won't make a fool of yourself like me," Harry said with despair, "I want to dance at the ball with Fish and the others."

Obviously, Ron didn't think so. If he didn't find a dance partner, he would rather not go to the dance.

"Harry... we have to grit our teeth and fight." Ron said to Harry in a tone that sounded like he was about to die heroically: "When we return to the common room tonight, we must all find our dance partners... It's settled ?”

"Uh...okay," Harry replied.

In fact, even if Ron didn't say so, he must find his dance partner as soon as possible, because according to Professor McGonagall's requirements, warriors must have a dance partner.

If he is the only one of the four warriors to have no dance partner, it will be a very embarrassing thing. Therefore, even if the dance partner is Millicent Burst of Slytherin, Harry will have to dance bravely. Finished the first dance.

However, what he didn't know was that even Millicent had already found a dance partner by this time, and it was Gregory Gower who was very close to her in size.

…

"Harry, Ron, what's wrong with you? I didn't see you in the auditorium just now."

(ΦωΦ)

Fish finished his dinner and returned to the common room with Hermione. As soon as he came in, he saw the two guys who had not eaten dinner sitting in the corner with dejected expressions, their faces gray and their eyes dull.

Maomao thought for a while, and felt that the two of them gave him the feeling now, like an octopus that was accidentally thrown to the shore by the waves and then dried by the sun.

"It's a holiday tomorrow, why is Meow still unhappy?"

Maomao didn't understand this very much.

Harry and Ron rolled their dull eyes and glanced at Fish. Without making any reply, they returned their gazes to the ground. It seemed that nothing around them could attract their attention.

"I don't know what happened to Harry," said Ginny, who followed Fish back to the common room. "As for Ron..." She seemed to be trying hard to hold back her laughter, "I saw him in the hall before. There he invited Fleur to be his dance partner...well, of course, he failed."

After saying that, Ginny finally couldn't hold it back and giggled.

Ron raised his head and glared at her fiercely, which unfortunately didn't stop Ginny from laughing.

"I don't know how I could do such a thing!" Ron gasped and said with a confused expression: "She was talking to Diggory... The hall was full of people... I suddenly couldn't control it. I...went up and asked her!"

Ron groaned and covered his face with his hands. He kept talking, but his words could only be barely audible.

"She looked at me as if I was a sea cucumber or something. She didn't even bother to answer. Then... I don't know... I suddenly came to my senses and ran away."

At this time, Harry broke away from the "dried octopus" state. He patted Ron on the shoulder and reminded: "Have you forgotten? She has Veela blood. At that time, she should He was casting that spell on Diggory, and you happened to be passing by and you were hit..."

Harry said bitterly, "But her efforts were in vain this time. Diggory is going with Qiu Zhang."

Ron looked up.

"I just asked her to go with me," Harry said dryly, "and she told me."

Ginny suddenly stopped laughing.

"This is ridiculous," Ron said, "We are the only two left without a partner... Even Neville invited Ginny..."

"Because I'm not in the fourth grade yet!" Ginny explained in a panic, "No one... No one invited me before. I want to go to the dance, so I can only agree to him!"

She seemed a little frustrated at first, but soon she became gnashing her teeth.

"You probably think that as long as you make an invitation, no girl will refuse, otherwise why would you wait until the last day to take action?" Ginny said sarcastically.

Harry opened his mouth and wanted to refute something, but he didn't know what to say, and Ron glared at his sister, but Ginny didn't take it to heart at all.

"Meow..." The cat tilted its head, "Then Firth can't help you."

ω

Firth shook his ears, blinked his eyes, patted the two on the shoulders sympathetically, and then ran to the fireplace, turned into a cat, jumped on a chair and started to warm himself.

Hermione shrugged helplessly at Harry and Ron, then turned into a cat, jumped next to Firth and lay down.

"Humph!"

Ginny snorted in dissatisfaction, also walked to the fireplace, then dragged a chair and sat next to Firth and Hermione, concentrating on petting the cat.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and returned to the state of "dried octopus".

However, this state did not last too long, because after a while, Parvati and Lavender also returned to the dormitory, and then Harry went up to invite the two.

As a result, Parvati actually accepted Harry's invitation and helped Ron invite her sister Padma.

In fact, this is quite incredible, because the Patil sisters are not bad looking, and they are usually quite popular among boys, but they haven't found a dance partner yet...

Harry just tried to ask, but he didn't expect to succeed.

But anyway, Harry finally avoided the embarrassing situation of not having a dance partner on the day of the dance, but every time he thought of Cho Chang dancing with Cedric, he felt his internal organs twisted...

And last semester Cedric led the Hufflepuff Quidditch team to defeat them.

Although Harry knew that it was wrong to think so, he still couldn't help hating him.

For this reason, even though it was already a holiday, Harry didn't have much fun. But Ron was heartless. Since he confirmed that Padma would be his dance partner, he often ran to Ravenclaw to chat with her during meals during the holidays, as if he wanted to prove something in front of Fleur who was also in Ravenclaw.

But Harry felt even more uncomfortable.

Because Cho Chang was also from Ravenclaw, every time Ron ran over, he couldn't help but follow her, and then when he saw Cho Chang, he quickly looked away like a thief.

In the days that made Harry feel tortured, Christmas finally came.

In the original book, Crabbe and Goyle couldn't find a dance partner, so I added it here.

In addition, there is another question, if the lower grades are not allowed to attend the dance, then... where are they going to eat?

If not having a dance partner means not being able to dance, but still being able to attend the Christmas dinner, then there is no need for Ginny to agree to Neville?

And after the dance really started, Harry and Ron's dance partners ran away with others, so if the lower grade students can also enter, just find someone to dance, and no one will care, right?
