Admiral of Hogwarts

The last week of the semester has arrived quickly. Although the temperature outside the school is getting colder and colder, the castle is obviously much more restless than before.

The air is filled with the sour smell of love. Walking in the castle, you can see a pair of male and female witches walking together from time to time, and the remaining people are also actively discussing the Christmas dance.

People are spreading rumors about the Yule Ball, but most of the students don't believe it——

For example, it is not very credible that Dumbledore bought 800 barrels of flavored mead from Rosmerta of the Three Broomsticks, because the alcohol content of this wine is quite high, and most of the participants at the ball are underage. .

However, it might be true that he booked the weird sisters. Many of the little wizards who were born into wizard families were excited to learn from the wizards around them who didn't know about this music combination.

Because the festival was coming, various professors also had different reactions. For example, Professors like Flitwick or Sprout would finish the lecture in the shortest possible time, and then leave the remaining time to the students for free activities.

Especially Professor Flitwick specially called Veneto over when everyone was free to move around, and then talked about various matters related to the game.

Professor Flitwick has cared about Veneto since his first year. On the one hand, in Ravenclaw, an academy that values ​​knowledge, those who excel in learning can easily gain attention.

But more importantly, ever since Veneto tore apart a troll in the first grade, Professor Flitwick felt that Veneto, like himself, was a wizard mixed with the blood of other creatures. With this kind of empathy, he Naturally, I will care more about Veneto.

However, not every professor would be so tolerant. For example, Professor Binns’ attention could not be diverted. He continued to trudge through his pile of notes on the Goblin Rebellion——

This is not unexpected. After all, even death cannot stop this professor's teaching career, so a mere Christmas ball will certainly not affect his teaching career.

Naturally, Professor Moody and Professor McGonagall will not relax for a second. They will talk from beginning to end throughout the class without giving everyone any chance to fish.

Not to mention Professor Snape, who publicly announced that he would test everyone's antidote in the last class, and might smoke students to drink the medicine directly.

Although everyone does not think from a rational perspective that Snape will make a fool of the students at Hogwarts at this critical moment, his reputation makes everyone not 100% sure in this regard.

Veneto's work went very smoothly during this period. She first confirmed that the second project was no different from what she remembered, and then successfully found a dance partner.

It's just that Veneto, like Hermione, refused to tell Hugo who his dance partner was. I just said that I wanted to give him a surprise and he would know when the dance started.

In addition to Veneto, Firefly also found his dance partner, Colin Creevey, a third-year Gryffindor student. Because Creevey did her a favor before, she brought Creevey to the ball this time to repay the favor.

Harry's plan to invite Zhang Qiu failed because Zhang Qiu was going to attend with his boyfriend, Cedric, a seventh-year Hufflepuff student.

However, under the instigation of the twins, Harry succeeded in inviting Ron's sister Ginny before Neville, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Congratulations then. "Hermione said to Harry with a smile when she was reading in the library that day, although she was really not very fond of Harry's tendency to be a standard-looking dog.

"Actually, this kind of thing is not that difficult, is it?" At this point, Hermione glanced at her brother Hugo. "As long as you are willing to invite, you can always be invited."

"Sister, don't worry, your brother really won't be so miserable that he goes to the dance alone." Looking at his sister's eyes, Hugo immediately understood his sister's thoughts.

So when lunch was over at noon the next day, Hugo waited at the door of the restaurant until a blond figure jumped out and walked up.

"Good afternoon, Luna." Hugo looked at the girls who were not very beautiful and bowed slightly and extended their hands, "Can I invite you to be my partner in the Christmas ball?"

The reason why he invited Luna was also very simple, because Luna was roommates with Hermione and Veneto, and she also liked reading. So besides the ship girl and her sister, Luna is the girl who interacts with Hugo the most in Hogwarts.

Especially after Hugo and his sister Hermione rescued Luna at the Quidditch World Cup this summer, the relationship between him and Luna changed from acquaintances to ordinary friends.

Although Luna usually seems a little abnormal, for Hugo, who can chat with Quincy without any problems, it is not too difficult to communicate with her.

After all, compared with Quincy's communication method that can express thousands of meanings in one sentence, Luna's leaping thinking is too easy to understand.

"Of course I do." At this time, Luna looked a little nervous and grabbed the hem of her robe and did an ancient lady's skirt-lifting ceremony, and then a smile appeared on her face. "I'm glad you asked me to the ball."

Hugo expected that Luna would agree to this, because both Hermione and Veneto had told him before that Luna was very curious about what the Yule Ball would be like, so she hoped to be invited. .

After settling the dance partner issue, Hugo suddenly relaxed a lot. Although he thought this problem shouldn't be a problem, it would definitely be a big loss if he couldn't invite a dance partner.

As the time approaches Christmas day by day, the teachers and students of Hogwarts continue to show their desire to impress the guests of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. They seem determined to show off the castle this Christmas. best appearance.

The school was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and many students said they had never seen the school so beautifully decorated since they entered the school.

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 various baubles, from shiny holly berries to various A live golden owl that stopped hooting.

The armors in the castle are enchanted and will sing Christmas carols whenever someone passes by. It's just that Hugo never understood why the wizards' Christmas carols were no different from those outside.

At this time, the number of people who could not invite a dance partner became much smaller, but not all of them were left. For example, Ron has never been able to find a dance partner.

And Ron almost made a fool of himself. At the door of the restaurant that day, Fleur stopped Cedric and was about to ask him to go to the ball with her. As a result, the Veela's unique mental interference directly hit Ron who was not far away. .

Fortunately, Firefly, who had finished eating and was walking out, happened to see this scene, so he secretly used a stinging spell to wake the other party up.

Although the stinging spell was a bit too strong and caused a red and swollen patch as thick as two fingers on Ron's left arm, he was grateful to Firefly after he returned.

After all, compared to making a fool of oneself in public, having a small curse placed on the arm is completely acceptable.
