A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 410: Partner

In the common room, Xixiu Valen enjoyed special treatment.

After seeing off group after group of people who came to watch the excitement, Harry and the others sat in their old seats in the corner. Both Ron and Hermione were embarrassed to speak because Varen saw the shameful side. Harry thought about it, but still felt that it would be easier to talk to Varen.

"Would you like some candy?" he asked.

Warren shook his head, took out a box of crackling explosion cards from his pocket, and looked at them with bright black eyes. That means, is there anyone playing cards?

Hermione, who had been silent all this time, laughed, "Varen, have you learned this yet?"

Ron also blinked, and whispered in a secretive tone: "I'll teach you a new way to play, my exclusive invention... It's not the traditional way, nor the Bavarian way, just watch!"

He opened the box, and quickly built the foundation of a castle with explosive cards, "Next is the second floor, keep stacking up, at this time you must keep your hands steady... oh..." Ron stretched face, for the second story of the castle had begun to flicker with sparks.

Varen nimbly jumped up from the table, jumped into Hermione's arms, and stared back at the two-story crude castle.

"Boom!"

Ron's card castle exploded, and a cloud of fire and black smoke rose from the table. Varen watched all this with interest.

Harry and Hermione wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Ron wiped his dirty face with his sleeve and said bitterly, "It's actually quite exciting, isn't it? I recommend you to play with the professor." One by one, there must be someone in the end. Believe me, I'm on your side!" He vowed to Varun.

"Oh, that's right," said Hermione suddenly, and she held up the Niffler so that its eyes were on her, "Varren, do you know that hourglass that you gave Harry?" Give Harry a look.

Harry understood, took out a dusty hourglass from his pocket, and held it out in front of it, "That's it. I heard Hermione say, uh, she actually only heard Professor Happer mention it once, you He snatched the Gringotts goblin gem in the middle of the night, and was ordered by the professor to return it..."

Xuanxiu stared at the hourglass for a long time, it didn't have much impression, this kind of thing didn't attract it much, what was the situation at that time?

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Sniff and gestured, guessed, and almost understood the whole thing.

"So, you returned all the gems, but for some reason, you left the hourglass... You didn't take it seriously when you counted the treasures later." Hermione concluded.

Xuanxiu nodded and continued to gesture.

"You have too many treasures... I didn't pay attention to this hourglass." Hermione said with some difficulty, and Varen nodded sharply, yes, that's it. Ron on the side widened his eyes, staring at Xixiu's pocket, "How many things have you hidden, I can see—"

Warren immediately turned his head away.

"—well, I see what you mean," said Ron.

At this moment, Ginny came over and sat next to Hermione, "Hey, little Varen, it's you..." Hermione was combing its hair, and Ginny teased and asked in a nonchalant tone Said: "Have you thought about it, should you take the initiative to invite the dance partner, or wait for others to invite you? It won't be the last one left."

Harry and Ron on the side stared wide-eyed, they were worrying about this matter. Yesterday in Transfiguration class on Friday, they finished their class assignment ahead of schedule - transforming guinea fowl into guinea pigs - and decided to play dueling. Holding two fake wands, Ron holding a tin parrot and Harry holding a rubber haddock, Harry and Ron went back and forth in the back row of the room to compete in fencing.

Hermione looked at them irritably, she was sorting out her transformation notes, "Gentlemen, can't you do something that suits your age?"

"You see, we are practicing swordsmanship, following the example of the first headmaster, Godric Gryffindor." Ron defended his childish behavior, while taking advantage of Harry's lack of concentration to attack.

"Well, do you know Gryffindor's favorite spell?" Hermione asked lightly.

Harry and Ron stopped and looked at each other.

"Sharp Blade, this spell can add magic power to the weapon, greatly improving the sharpness and toughness of the weapon, just like solidifying the effect of the cutting spell. Of course, it should be even better. When you hold the goblin sword more, you can easily cut through the dragon's skin." Hermione explained, finishing the last part of notes.

At this time, Professor McGonagall came over and saw that the tinned parrot that Ron was carrying—Harry's rubber haddock head broke in the fight, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Immediately, she turned and walked onto the podium, announcing the news of the Christmas ball to everyone.

"The dance party is only open to students above the fourth grade. If you plan to, um... let your hair go and relax yourself," Professor McGonagall paused, and said disapprovingly, "You have to find a dance partner for yourself... ...Of course, you can also invite students from lower grades..."

Lavender Brown let out a piercing smirk, but she was not alone, as Parvati Patil poked her so hard that they both turned to look at Harry. In fact, more than half of the girls in the class were looking at Harry at this time, and Harry had never felt such a blazing stare.

At the end of the course, Professor McGonagall left Harry, Hermione and Ron behind and told them a shocking news.

"You should know." McGonagall said dryly.

Harry looked at Hermione and nodded for granted, he looked at Ron again, Ron was also confused, Harry thought Professor McGonagall kept them because of his headless rubber black What about the hake, but now it seemed that his understanding was wrong.

"Potter, warriors have their companions—" said Professor McGonagall.

"Companion what!" Harry took a breath and interrupted her.

"Partner, partner, whatever you want to understand," said McGonagall, noticing that Harry blushed and smiled understandingly, "Yes, traditionally, the dance is held by warriors and their partners. of."

Harry was still in a daze, he wanted to make a happy expression, because Professor McGonagall obviously thought it was the privilege and honor of the brave, but he just imagined a little bit of himself wearing a top hat and a tuxedo. Funny picture, I can't wait to throw this honor out.

Maybe Ron would like it, Harry thought, but he soon realized that Ron was also one of the champions, as well as Hermione.

Come out of the classroom, Harry and Ron are a little listless, which makes them not find Hermione, who is also worried, Professor McGonagall's last words are like whips on their hearts, crackling in their hearts Sound——

"As the most important representatives of the school, you must do what everyone expects you to do. Therefore, you must find yourself a dance partner."

As they walked towards the auditorium, Ron said a little bitterly: "You're actually welcome, Harry, you're always welcome, the girls can't wait for you to invite them, maybe... someone else Take the initiative to invite you. It is much more difficult for me, and, have you heard what Professor McGonagall said? Everyone must wear dress robes...Damn it, I have such a grandmother's embroidered skirt..."

In fact, what Ron said made sense, and Harry was indeed more popular than he thought. The very next day - this morning, as he and Ron were having breakfast in the Great Hall, a curly-haired third-year Hufflepuff girl invited Harry to the Yule Ball, and he hadn't even talked to her before. have spoken.

It was a bit embarrassing. He was discussing the dance partner with Ron, and they were all worried about it. Ron even pessimistically suggested using a confinement spell to get one back, "Don't use the most powerful spell." Ron said with deep feeling.

Harry chuckled and stuffed pumpkin porridge into his mouth when the girl came over to invite him.

"Oh, uh, what did you say... sorry, I haven't figured it out yet." Harry looked at her in surprise, and because it was too sudden, he refused without thinking.

The girl walked away with a hurt expression on her face.

After that, Hermione, who hurried downstairs, dragged them to Ilvermorny's residence, "We're thinking about our dance partner, Hermione!" Ron complained at the time ~IndoMTL.com~ But Hermione Min dismissed his excuse on the grounds that there was still half a month before the Yule Ball. Both Harry and Ron wanted to escape, so they followed Hermione-until they squatted in the Ilvermorny resident extremely bored the first two hours.

If you ask him now, Harry can't say which is more terrifying: challenging a fire dragon, inviting a dance partner, or squatting in the ice and snow for two hours, but the scary thing is that it's already night, and he's already ready to receive Warren after sniffing. He took a shower and went to bed, when Ginny's question brought him back to reality.

…

When he was tossing and turning in bed at night and couldn't sleep, what Ginny said to Hermione was still echoing in his mind: "Have you thought about it, should you take the initiative to invite your partner, or wait for others to invite you? Never As for the last one left."

He originally had a name in mind, but he knew it was just his own wild imagination, but a secret thought told him, what if, what if Cedric didn't invite Qiu, that Collins is pretty pretty, isn't he? ?

But now, he is not so sure.
