Chapter 610 Christmas Ball
Ivan pulled Hagrid and turned away, regardless of what the other party lacked. ≠
He was sure that no matter what Rita Skeeter said, he would not like it.
This woman will spread rumors, whether it is to promote the good or the bad, it is not what Ivan wants to see.
He needed to keep a low profile now, and he didn't want to attract the attention of Voldemort and the Death Eaters when he was about to return.
Come to think of it, it's been so long since the first match that the Hogwarts Gazette's news story about the match has long since been published, but neither Rita Skeeter nor the Daily Prophet have any in a hurry.
Obviously, their focus is not on the game at all.
Ivan is not going to give Rita Skeeter a chance to spread rumors, and having a long talk with her like Hagrid is simply killing himself.
When Ivan told Harry, Ron, and Hermione about this, the three of them also very much agreed with Ivan's point of view.
"You're right, Ivan, she will distort every word Hagrid says." Harry said worriedly.
"Hope Hagrid hasn't illegally imported those snails and stuff," Hermione added.
They looked at each other, which was exactly what Hagrid might have done.
It is impossible for him to get those fire crabs from official channels, which are magical species protected by the Ministry of Magic of Fiji.
"Don't worry, Hagrid got into a lot of trouble before, and Dumbledore never fired him," Ron comforted. "I think the worst possibility is that Hagrid has to get rid of the snails. I'm sorry, I said the worst." Bad? I mean best."
Everyone laughed and felt much happier.
Next, Ivan began to lower his head to study the ancient rune, and Hermione also took out a lot of parchment to write and draw.
After Harry and Ron finished their homework, they picked up Fred's and George Min's two fake wands, and began to fight back and forth with each other.
They fought fiercely, and a bunch of people gathered around laughing and watching.
Professor McGonagall informed everyone that they must gather in the common room at eight o'clock tonight, so everyone did not run around.
"Potter! Weasley!" said Professor McGonagall angrily, walking into the common room, "what are you doing?!"
They both looked up in surprise, Ron holding a tin parrot in his hand, Harry holding a rubber haddock.
"Can't you act age-appropriately?" Professor McGonagall gave them both an angry look.
Just then, the head of Harry's haddock fell soundlessly to the floor, where Ron's parrot's sharp beak had severed it.
The two of them looked up and looked at Professor McGonagall in fear.
"Sit over there, I have a few words to say to everyone." Professor McGonagall glared at the two of them again, and turned to other people in the common room, "Maybe you all know that the Christmas ball is coming soon !This is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests. Yes, the dance is only open to students from the fourth grade, but if you want, you can invite a junior student”
Ivan blinked, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Hermione, but Hermione didn't look at him
She stared blankly at Professor McGonagall, not even noticing that the parchment in hand fell to the ground.
Aiwen also put down the parchment full of ancient runes, looked at Hermione for a while, and suddenly became a little nervous.
After entering December, the Christmas ball has been put on the agenda.
Everyone needs to find their own dance partner. Normally, a boy invites a woman, but Ai Wen doesn't seem to have the qualifications.
He is only in the third grade now, and he belongs to the lower grades. If no one invites him, he can't go to the dance at all.
So Hermione will invite him
After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, the common room suddenly became excited.
Everyone was muttering, especially the girls, and many of them let out harsh smirks.
"Put on your dress robes." Professor McGonagall was a little dissatisfied with everyone's reaction, but he did not stop them, but continued, "The dance will be held in the auditorium at eight o'clock in the evening on Christmas and will end at twelve midnight. Listen "
She paused and looked at everyone calmly.
"The Yule Ball certainly gave us a chance to unwind and relax," she said in a disapproving tone.
The girls laughed harder, especially Lavender Brown, who put her hand over her mouth so hard that no sound could come out.
Professor McGonagall's hair was always pulled into a tight bun, and she never seemed to let it loose.
Everyone is imagining how she looks with her head down!
"Hmph, but that doesn't mean!" continued Professor McGonagall, "we're going to relax our behavioral requirements for Hogwarts students, and I'd feel bad if a Gryffindor student embarrassed the school in any way." Very sad."
Then she ignored the already messy common room and waved to Ron.
"Weasley, come here, I have something to tell you."
She led Ron out into the empty hallway.
Even here, the excited shouts from inside can still be heard.
Ron stared nervously at Professor McGonagall, wondering what she was going to say to him.
"Weasley, every warrior has a partner!" said Professor McGonagall. "You must invite a partner."
"Dance partner?!" Ron was taken aback, "What partner, I don't dance!"
"Don't be silly, you have to dance!" Professor McGonagall said irritably, "I'm about to tell you that, according to tradition, the dance is held by warriors and their partners, and you have to find yourself a dancer." Partner, Weasley!"
"I'm not going to dance!"
"You have to dance, it's a traditional practice!" Professor McGonagall said firmly, in an unquestionable tone, "You are a Hogwarts warrior, and as a representative of the school, you must do what everyone expects you to do." To do it, you must find yourself a dance partner. That's all, you go back!"
When Ron came back, everyone was still talking about it.
Everyone is excited, talking about the Yule Ball and dancing partners, and everyone is choosing their goals.
Ivan, who is not qualified to invite others, can only sit there, and he hopes that Hermione can invite himself.
Hermione didn't seem to have this intention, or in other words, didn't plan to invite Ivan when there were so many people.
Now everyone is discussing, but no one hastily acted, everyone is waiting (to be continued.) 8 browse reading address:
