Chapter 161 Meng Luo's Invitation (Updated)

The plan of the Sleeping Dragon Society went very smoothly.

Thanks to the efforts of Zhang Qiu and Susan, the number of members of the Sleeping Dragon Society increased by 12 again, 6 from Hufflepuff and 6 from Ravenclaw, including Luna.

In addition to Luna, there is another student in Ravenclaw who Schelling values ​​very much - Melinda Bobin, a sophomore. The Bobin family has been running thirteen chain drugstores in the UK for generations, almost covering every county in Great Britain, and is quite powerful in the British business community.

There is also a student in Hufflepuff who is valued by Schelling - Joanna Devonte, a sophomore. The Devonte family has produced Delys Devonte, the beloved Hogwarts headmaster, and also enjoys a high reputation in the healer circle.

This makes Schelling very satisfied. Although most of the members of the Sleeping Dragon Society are sophomores and 3rd grade students, Schelling believes that under his guidance and training, they will become his right-hand men within two years and will be able to contribute in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower two years later.

On the other side, Harry finally mustered up the courage and found an opportunity to invite Zhang Qiu. The girl was surprised at first, then politely refused, but did not give any reason.

Harry felt that he must have been cursed, and he did not know why he was like this - he said something that made him feel strange: "You refused me, is it because you have an appointment with someone else?"

Zhang Qiu actually did not have a dance partner, and she did not want to attend the dance. She only had one ideal partner in her mind, but she knew that she had no chance at all now. She was unhappy about this matter, but when Harry asked her this, she suddenly felt that her shortcomings were exposed. She frowned and said angrily: "Potter, this is my business, you have no right to ask!"

She glared at Harry, then walked away directly, and never looked at Harry again.

Poor Harry looked at her back stupidly, not knowing what mistake he had made and why he had upset the goddess in his mind.

When he returned to the Gryffindor common room in a daze, he found Ron sitting in a corner in the distance with a gloomy face.

Ron did not invite Fleur Delacour to be his dance partner as described in the original book. The reason why he looked like that was because he asked Hermione out, but she rejected him without hesitation.

No one knew what he was feeling at the moment, not even his best friend Harry.

He was angry.

He was jealous.

Many people misunderstood Ron, thinking that he was stupid, incompetent, straight, and jealous.

In fact, he was just lazy, playful, and eager to be noticed.

Whenever Hermione nagged Harry and Harry was about to get angry, it was Ron who told jokes and eased the atmosphere with his humor.

He saw that Lockhart was a liar after only one class.

When Hermione said that she would not like a boy just because he was handsome, Ron whispered "Lockhart", which fully revealed Hermione's true character of judging people by appearance.

He was also the first person to suspect that there was something wrong with the Mirror of Erised, Tom's diary, and Crookshanks.

He is good at observing people's faces and understanding people's hearts, thanks to his observation of his large family with different personalities since he was a child. If he knew how to control his emotions, he would probably be a master of emotional intelligence. He is a typical example of emotional intelligence going astray.

(Note: Social intelligence is divided into "interpersonal" and "self", and Ron is seriously biased towards the former)

Thanks to his extraordinary keen observation, others may not know why Hermione rejected him, but his heart is like a mirror, and he has long seen it-

Hermione likes Shaylin.

Why?

That pretty boy, relying on his family background and appearance, is surrounded by countless beauties. He is not satisfied with having three girlfriends. He is simply a scumbag. For three semesters, Meredith, who has been inseparable from him, has been missing for a long time, but he has continued to live heartlessly. Once again, he is a certified scumbag.

His father is a Death Eater, he comes from Slytherin College, which is famous for its cunning and coldness, and his brother led people to surround Hermione... Obviously he is an enemy...

And me? It was me who protected you from Malfoy, it was me who helped you to confront Snape in class, and we were Gryffindor companions...

What do you think I am? A follower of the savior? A fool who knows nothing? An unloved youngest son?

Ron's fists clenched tighter and tighter, his whole body trembling from the excessive force, and an imperceptible cruelty flashed in the depths of his eyes.

On the other side, when Sherin passed the entrance hall, he saw Fleur Delacour. She was surrounded by a group of young wizards from three magic schools and four colleges. They were like peacocks in estrus, desperately showing their most gorgeous side in front of the beauty. The two looked at each other quickly, nodded slightly to each other, and Sherin walked away directly.

Sherin walked into the Great Hall.

Suddenly someone blocked his way in front of him.

Katarina Monroe.

She gently played with her red hair, her eyes a little dazed, "Mr. Malfoy, can I talk to you?"

"Of course!" Sherin said, leading her to a corner where no one was.

Seeing Katarin's look, he had guessed what she was going to say.

To be honest, Katarin is indeed very beautiful. Different from Furong's charm and Zhang Qiu's purity, she has a pure and clean temperament.

Her oval face is heroic but cold, and her long and thin eyebrows are indifferent, but her natural gorgeous red hair is like a burning fire, lighting up all the desires in people's hearts, coupled with her big and bright eyes...

"I heard that you haven't chosen your dance partner yet, so are you willing to go to the dance with me?" She looked at Xie Lin with bright eyes. Even with Xie Lin's state of mind, he was very tempted for a moment.

Xie Lin bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and the stinging made him sober up a little. He whispered: "I am honored, Miss Meng Luo..."

"But I have already thought of the candidates to invite." Xie Lin's eyes were clear and frank, because it was indeed the truth.

"Oh, it's okay!" Katalin smiled, "Mr. Malfoy, I just think you should think about it again..." She took the initiative to move her body closer to Xie Lin, and the distance between the two was so close that Xie Lin could clearly smell the unique fragrance coming from the other person, which was completely different from the perfume used by ordinary women. This fragrance was pure and natural, and it was refreshing. It should be a high-end product circulated among the powerful pure-blood families in the French wizarding world.

Katalin's lips were close to his ears, and she whispered softly: "Think about it... The strongest family in France, Monroe, and the strongest family in Great Britain, Malfoy, the two strong forces, will combine to create a scene in the European wizarding world and even the global wizarding world?"

After that, she chuckled, turned around neatly, rolled up a fragrant wind, and left with an elegant step.

Xie Lin looked at her back expressionlessly, with a flickering light in his eyes, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

I don't know when, Eleanor appeared beside him.

She used her slightly magnetic voice and whispered teasingly: "Such a beautiful girl was rejected by you... You are really amazing, Mr. Malfoy... It's just..."

"Are you sure you won't regret it?"

Xellin put on a confident smile again and said casually: "There is nothing to regret..."

"The Monroe family is the first family in France, so what? The family can be a backing, but it is also a shackle that restricts us! Wizards who are born with magic should create the future they want."

Xellin turned his head and looked at Eleanor with a bright look, "What do you think?"

Eleanor looked at Xielin's face seriously, and her mouth corners curled up slightly, "Why, your answer doesn't surprise me at all?" After that, she turned around and left.
