Chapter 405 Dance Partner
The scene was a little awkward for a moment. Professor McGonagall did not expect that Ada would actually resist the dance.
As Professor McGonagall herself said, every girl has a sleeping swan living in her heart. She didn't expect that the most beautiful swan actually wanted to sleep forever.
Harry didn't expect that Ada would sell him out as soon as he came up. Where was Drizzt, the righteous man he had promised?
It wasn't just Ada who didn't want to go to the ball, Harry didn't either, unless his partner was Ravenclaw Cho Chang. But Qiu Zhang already had a wife, so how could she agree to Harry?
Many people knew that Cho Chang was Cedric's girlfriend, but Harry obviously didn't know. The ignorant first love of a fourteen-year-old boy has ended before it even begins. This is the charm of youth!
"Miss Drizzt, even if you are lame on Christmas Day, you will still participate in the ball even if you are on crutches, and you will also appear as the first dancer of the ball." Professor McGonagall said seriously, "If you are unfortunate enough to have both legs. Being lame, you have to go to the dance even if you are strapped to a stretcher."
Professor McGonagall's meaning has been made very clear. As long as Ada and Harry can still breathe, they must go to the ball, and even if they die, they can only die at the ball.
Seeing that Ada was not immune, Harry's mood instantly improved. With someone there to support him, the Yule Ball didn't seem so difficult. Especially after seeing Ada's face drop, Harry became even happier, asking you to betray me!
Soon, the news of the Yule Ball spread in the school. It was clearly December, and there was heavy snow outside the window, but it was as warm as spring in the Hogwarts Castle.
As we all know, spring is here, everything is growing, and it is a season full of pink.
The girls are obsessed with the upcoming Yule Ball. In the corridor, many girls would also giggle and whisper, and would laugh loudly whenever a boy walked by.
After returning to the common room or dormitory, the girls will discuss which boy looks more handsome, which boy dances better, and make comments about the boys.
Occasionally, they would show off to each other, which boy invited them today, or how many boys invited them. I will also ask my friends for help, why the person in my heart did not invite me.
Although the authenticity of what they said needs to be verified, this is the current situation of girls at Hogwarts.
Even Angelina and Alia were no exception. The two of them would sit next to each other, muttering about what makeup to wear on Christmas Day and which brand of magic perfume to use.
Girls are like this, but boys are not much better. Girls always move in groups. This problem deeply troubles the boys at Hogwarts. Ron even suggested that Harry use a noose to come back.
Hogwarts was neither built on the grasslands nor in the west, so there was no need for men who knew how to use a noose.
Harry's heart belonged to someone, so he invited Cho Chang at Ron's instigation. Then he was rejected, and he also learned that Cedric Diggory was the dance partner of the girl he was interested in.
In fact, what Ron said is right. Harry is a warrior. There will be a lot of people lining up to be his dance partner, but everything always comes on a first-come, first-served basis. Besides, Cedric’s corner is not that easy to dig. .
Ron was worse than Harry. He didn't even know that he belonged to someone. He didn't even have a favorite dance partner, and then "misfortune" befell him.
That day, Ron was in a daze on the roadside and met the charming Fleur Delacour. So Ron mustered up the courage to invite Fleur, hoping that this palace flower could be his dance partner.
Then there was nothing more, Ron ran away in despair, while Fleur and Miss Delacour didn't notice the inconspicuous Mr. Ron Weasley at all. Fleur's attention was all on Cedric.
All just because Ron took one more look in the crowd...
As Christmas approaches, the ball is just around the corner, and the whole castle is plunged into an atmosphere of madness. Many boys don't care whether there are more people or less people. They often invite the girls they like in front of a group of people, and they are either rejected or successful.
Some girls also started to take the initiative. Krum, Harry, Cedric, and Roger Davis from Ravenclaw were the four boys who received the most invitations from girls.
It had been quiet around Ada before, and not a single boy came to invite her.
Ada thought she had escaped and no longer had to be chased and intercepted. But she didn't know that the reason why the boys didn't send out a rash invitation was because they were waiting and watching.
After waiting and watching for several days, these timid boys finally determined one thing through careful observation, that is, Ada neither invited anyone nor agreed to anyone else's invitation.
Now, as if they had heard the starting gun, the boys who were ready to move rushed to Ada in a swarm and extended their invitation.
Some pretended to meet by chance in the classroom, some pretended to pass by Gryffindor Tower, and some haunted Ada on her way to the library...
In short, there are all kinds of invitation methods, and one person even ambush at the door of the girls' bathroom, and was almost arrested by other girls as a pervert.
Fortunately, no one placed a circle of candles and a bouquet of flowers in front of Gryffindor Tower. This method is too greasy. If Ada sees it, her first reaction will definitely be that this person is doing it!
Ada was puzzled. They were just looking for a partner to attend the Christmas ball, so why did they all act like they were confessing their love? It's just a matter of picking a dance partner, but is it like holding hands with a girl who makes you fall in love?
It's not like whoever you choose for the Christmas ball will spend the rest of your life with him, so why do you make it so grand?
After the Christmas vacation began, even the mountain of holiday homework still failed to extinguish the enthusiasm of the students. As many people have already decided on dance partners, the remaining people who have not found a partner have become more anxious, like ants on a hot pot.
That night in the Gryffindor common room, somehow the twins got together with Ron and Harry. At this time, Harry and Ron did not have a dance partner. Harry was "heartbroken" and Ron was "faced ashen".
"Why...you guys haven't found a dance partner yet?" Fred mocked, his little eyes seeming to say: Little brother, what's going on with you, it's not okay!
"No," said Ron impatiently, waving Fred away like a fly.
"I say, man, you'd better speed up, or the good girls will be picked out." Fred said very cogently. Although decisiveness may lead to defeat, hesitation will definitely lead to defeat.
Ron was very disdainful because he knew that the twins had no dance partners at this time. Ron asked directly: "Don't just talk about us, then who are you attending the dance with?"
"Angelina." Fred replied without hesitation and without any embarrassment.
"When?" Ron asked in surprise. He didn't know the news at all. "When did you invite her?"
"Good question," said Fred. He turned his head and shouted across the common room: "Hey, Angelina!"
Angelina was chatting with Alia by the fire, and Ada and Katie Bell were there too. Hearing the shout, Angelina looked towards Fred and asked loudly: "What's the matter?"
"Would you like to go to the dance with me?" Fred said, swaying in a funny way.
Angelina looked at Fred with a considering look, and then said: "Okay." Then, Angelina turned to chat with Aaliyah, and the two were discussing who was better, Cedric or Krum. .
"It's done," Fred said to Harry and Ron. "It's a piece of cake."
Damn it... Fred's show of skills made Harry and Ron's scalp numb. Can he still do this when he invites a dance partner? Shouldn't the invitation be made formally? How could you just ask it casually? The most important thing is that Angelina Johnson agreed!
Ron refused to give up, thinking that this must be an illusion, so he asked again: "George, what about you? Where is your dance partner?" As soon as he asked, Ron regretted it.
"Hey, Ada!" George shouted across the common room. Except for changing his name, he did exactly the same thing as his twin brother.
"You have something to say and fart to say!" Ada didn't even raise her head and kept talking to Katie beside her.
"Would you like to go to the dance with me?"
Ada still didn't raise her head or look at George. She replied: "Okay."
