Chapter 355 Who Knows the Pain of Love?

The goblins lost a lot of money in the gambling game because of Lenno's shameless tactics. Now that they saw Lenno in person, they cursed the foreigner in fairy language.

"What are they talking about? Their eyes don't seem friendly." Leno noticed these guys.

"I think it's better that you don't know." Fleur whispered.

"Can you still understand fairy language?"

"A little bit, my grandmother taught me. Let's go and order food. The food we ate at Hogwarts was too greasy. I feel fat. I wonder if there are any vegetable salads here."

Ms. Rosmerta set up two big tables for the players, and everyone sat together to deepen the communication between the players from each school.

After a while, Klum and two other contestants also came, and Joseph warmly greeted the three of them to sit down next to them.

"Anything you want, anything you want, Ms. Rosmerta will start with a barrel of butterbeer."

"No problem." Ms. Rosmerta responded with a smile.

The waiter placed a bucket of butterbeer on the table. Penello walked up behind Joseph and whispered.

“It’s free to order so much food.”

Joseph kept a smile on his face as he interacted with everyone, turned his head and spoke in a lower voice.

"Didn't Professor McGonagall say that the entertainment expenses will be reimbursed? We are here to promote exchanges and this money cannot be saved."

"Professor McGonagall said that it can be reimbursed, but didn't he tell you that the amount is limited, and the excess will be paid at your own expense?" Penello didn't wait for Joseph to answer, rolled his eyes and returned to his seat.

Joseph suddenly thought of this and quickly ran to the bar to ask Ms. Rosmerta how much she had spent in total. After getting Rosmerta's reply, Joseph breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's still within the scope of reimbursement."

The Durmstrang player at the other table, Gentle, clinked glasses with Paul and said with a smile.

"Paul, I'm talking about the Christmas ball in two weeks. Please help me."

Paul swallowed the wine in his mouth and asked, "What can I help you with?"

"What else is there, a partner for the Christmas ball. We have 10 contestants in Durmstrang and four of our entourage members are all men. Where do you want us to find a partner? You can introduce us."

Ginter's teammate Ramos echoed, "That's right, there are girls in Babston's team. Just digest it internally. We are all men."

Babston's sister intervened, "Who knows, some of us are alone."

"It seems you are the one who is alone." Sean joked.

"Stop laughing at me." Mom took a sip of wine. There were 10 players among them, 6 men and 4 women. They were accompanied by 4 team members, 2 men and 2 women. In addition to him, there was also a male player who was also alone.

"You shouldn't ask Paul about this. Doesn't he seem to be very popular with girls?" Sean glanced at Paul.

"Then who are we looking for? Looking for you?" Gentle said.

"No, you can ask Penello and these female players to introduce their female classmates." Sean said.

"Yes." Mom followed suit and immediately walked up to Chris holding a wine glass. "Excuse me, beautiful lady, can I..."

Before Mum could finish her words, she was interrupted by Sean, "Hey, this won't work, Chris has already formed a team with me."

Chris raised her glass and smiled, "Sorry, but I can ask my female classmates for you."

Mom was very happy, "Thank you very much. I hope your classmates will be my dance partners."

Ramos went to Joseph's table and invited Sissi, but was rejected as expected.

"I have already partnered with Joseph. Let me ask other people for you."

"Ladies, please help our guests who have come from afar." Joseph raised his glass and said to Penelo, Chrissy, and Sissy, the three female contestants of Hogwarts.

The other male contestants raised their glasses in response to Joseph, and they each took turns honoring the three girls for their own dance partners.

Sean deliberately asked Harry, "Harry, have you found your dance partner?"

"Ah, it's still early, don't rush, there are still two weeks." Harry's eyes dodge, obviously he doesn't want to talk about this topic.

"It's getting late. If you don't hurry up and invite us, all the girls will be invited." Sean reminded. "Hermione in your class has a good relationship with you."

"Her, forget it, I think of her as my buddy." Harry hadn't realized what a wrong decision he had made at this time.

"Do you have a goal?" Sean asked knowingly. He hadn't paid attention to the trio recently, and he didn't know what was going on with Harry's love life or if he still had a crush on Qiu Zhang.

"Not yet." Harry stiffly shook his head.

Sean had a bad idea at this time. He directed the conversation to Cedric at the other table, "Our handsome sixth grader, have you decided on your dance partner?"

"She agreed to the invitation just sent out this morning." Cedric said with a satisfied smile.

"Who is it?" Sean deliberately raised his voice, as if to attract someone's attention.

"You may not know Qiu Zhang from the fifth year of Ravenclaw. She is the Seeker of the Quidditch team." Cedric introduced her dance partner.

Sean's eyes slanted towards Harry, observing his expression, and said, "I don't know much about Quidditch, but I know Qiu Zhang. You are a pretty Asian beauty from Ravenclaw. This is all for you."

The wine in Harry's mouth was about to flow into his throat, but it spurted back into the glass. He coughed desperately and his face turned pale.

"Drink slowly." Marton on the side patted Harry on the back.

Harry competed with Cho Chang on the Quidditch field last year. During that first encounter, the secret love of an adolescent boy took root in his heart.

Originally, Harry wanted to invite Cho Chang, but now that he was the one who got there first, he even felt a little uncomfortable looking at Cedric.

Sean thought to himself, "Let me give up on you as soon as possible to avoid the pain of love."

A week passed in the blink of an eye. On Friday, the deans counted up the list of students who had stayed in school during the Christmas vacation. Basically, everyone from the fourth to seventh grades had stayed in school, and a small number of third-year students had also applied to stay in school.

When school ended on Friday, the two-week Christmas vacation also began. Professors assigned a large number of vacation homework, which was said to enrich the children's vacation.

Heavy snow is falling on the castle and grounds. Beauxbatons' light blue carriage looks like a big pumpkin covered in frost in winter. The small gingerbread house sprinkled with frosting next to it is Hagrid's cabin.

The sides of Durmstrang's ship were covered with ice and became smooth and translucent, and the sail ropes were also stained with a layer of hoarfrost. The house elves in the kitchen below the castle were very busy, preparing hot stews and sweet puddings of various flavors for the teachers and students who stayed in school.
