Chapter 544 Dance
The second event will not start until after Christmas, and Christmas in the middle has been changed to a Christmas ball. According to tradition, the opening dance of the ball is performed by the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament.
This made Li Zhuoguang a little embarrassed. He had few shortcomings, but dancing was definitely one of them. Fortunately, the school probably anticipated this situation and opened a dance training class.
Let the little wizards participate on their own, of course, the two warriors from Hogwarts must participate. If they can't dance the opening dance well, it will be a shame for the school.
The trainer is Mag, who can't tell that she is such a serious person, but she can dance ballroom dance so well. Li Zhuoguang held Mag's waist and carefully avoided her feet.
"Mr. Li, be more natural. It is normal to step on each other's feet during practice." Mag reminded.
But Li Zhuoguang didn't dare to do it at all. He just used special means to compress his body into the shape of a child. His real situation was actually a red tank over three meters tall. If he stepped on McGonagall's instep, he didn't have to worry about whether it would leave a scar. The right thing to do was to find a way to grow a new sole.
However, Li Zhuoguang had practiced "Snake Shadow Fist" after all, and his body coordination ability was still quite good. It didn't take long for him to dance like a pro. Harry and Ron, who were hugging each other, danced like ghosts and wolves. Hermione was rubbing her feet and resting on the side. She was Harry's original sparring partner, and Ron was replaced because she couldn't stand being stepped on.
Yes, Harry and Ron reconciled again. Everyone saw how dangerous the Triwizard Tournament was. Before, Ron judged others by himself. When he saw the miserable situation of Andrew and Lucia in the stands, he no longer thought that becoming a warrior was a good opportunity to show off.
Although he didn't know whether Harry had secretly signed up, he had secretly signed up. In his opinion, if Harry didn't become a warrior, he might become the unlucky one. What is Harry doing now? He is helping him to avoid disaster!
Well, he still has no idea.
Although the Christmas dance is good, for some reason, students under the fourth grade are not allowed to participate, unless the senior students invite the junior students as dance partners.
Maybe the fourth grade students will invite the third grade. As for the first and second grade, who would be interested in a group of immature little beans? Oh, I forgot, Li Zhuoguang is also a little bean now.
Because of this, he and Harry became the hot cakes in the eyes of the first and second grade girls. First of all, being the dance partner of the warrior is something worth showing off. Secondly, they really can't find many seniors who are willing to invite the younger children. Unless they are their own relatives.
For example, Percy Weasley, the unlucky one, wanted to use this Christmas dance to invite his beloved Penelope. But how could he bear to refuse his younger sister's wish to attend the dance when he was pitifully hugged by his sister?
Li Zhuoguang glanced at Ginny inconspicuously, and the other party seemed to have recovered. It was as if nothing had happened before.
"Professor, do we have to invite the opposite sex as our dance partner?" The one who dared to say this was Ron, who had no idea.
McGonagall just glanced at him: "Although you are Mr. Potter's practice partner, it does not mean that you can be his dance partner."
It is still 1992. Whether it exists or not, whether it is in the Muggle or wizard world, being gay is neither politically correct nor something to be proud of.
Hearing Professor McGonagall's answer, Ron's face fell. As for whether to have a dance partner or not, he, who is twelve years old this year, has no idea at all. He just wants someone to take him to the dance so that he can show off a few more chicken legs.
Harry also shrugged helplessly at Ron. He did not consider what kind of scene it would be if he hugged a man to dance the opening dance. He just felt sorry for not helping his friend.
So, in the spirit of keeping the wealth within the family, Harry asked Hermione if she wanted to attend the dance. After a slight surprise, Hermione gladly accepted Harry's invitation. At the same time, her eyes looking at Harry also had some inexplicable meanings, after all, girls mature earlier.
During the break, Malfoy held his big book, pushed Harry and Ron away, and came to Li Zhuoguang: "Boss, these are the names I selected."
"What list?"
"The list of dance partners." Malfoy raised his eyebrows and continued: "Although Greengrass is wishful thinking, you can also have your own ideas. I have listed all the pure-blood girls of the right age. You can take the opportunity of this dance to investigate them first."
The iron triangle, one from a Muggle-born family, one from a mixed-blood family, and one scum among the pure-bloods, had never seen such an operation before, and they all looked at him in amazement.
Li Zhuoguang took the list like an old man on the subway and read it. As expected, it covered the names of all the women of the right age in the twenty-eight sacred families. Li Zhuoguang even saw Ginny Weasley's name on it, but her name was heavily crossed out.
Ron also saw it: "Hey! Trash Malfoy, what do you mean by this?!"
Malfoy curled his lips in disdain: "Humph! What do you mean, the two parties in the marriage should at least be equal. The Greengrass family gave up a seat in the Wizengamot, what can you Weasley family have?"
"Do you think my family will use Ginny for marriage? We are different from you! Besides, what's good about marrying him? He just has some money... money?"
As he spoke, Ron began to imagine that if Li Zhuoguang really became their son-in-law, with his wealth that could rival a country... then... no, Ginny is not a bargaining chip for trading.
"Get out of the way!" Malfoy pushed Ron away with his big book, looking at Li Zhuoguang with concern: "Or I can recommend a few to you, I know their family situations."
Li Zhuoguang waved his hand: "No, I don't need to do this."
Malfoy was not surprised by Li Zhuoguang's reaction. After all, Li Zhuoguang's situation was indeed a dimensionality reduction attack in the British magic world. After all, before he came, the Malfoy family was famous for its wealth. But compared with the other party, it seems to be no different from a beggar, not to mention the strength of the family.
Malfoy also admitted that no matter which family Li Zhuoguang married, it would not help the Li family, as long as the woman was pure blood, even Ginny Weasley, it didn't matter.
He removed Ginny's name just because he didn't want to be respectful to the Weasley's little daughter when he became Li Zhuoguang's right-hand man in the future. Oh! It would be great if his parents could give him a sister or younger sister.
Seeing Malfoy recommending a dance partner to Li Zhuoguang, Pojun rushed over immediately, kicked Malfoy over with one foot, and then grabbed Li Zhuoguang's sleeve: "Brother Li, I rely on you! I want to go to the dance too!"
When Ginny begged her brother, Pojun was there throughout the whole process. She felt that she had mastered the key skills, so she ran over to practice on Li Zhuoguang. Li Zhuoguang was helpless because of her nagging, and he didn't have much interest in this so-called dance, so he agreed directly.
Ron cast an envious look at Pojun. He thought with some sadness, why didn't his parents give him a sister?
Although it was a dance for senior students, the dances for students were nothing more than dancing, talking about love, and nothing big. Not everyone is Arthur Weasley, who can get his wife pregnant while in school.
Pojun also practiced martial arts for many years. After Li Zhuoguang taught her several times, she learned ballroom dancing. Although in her opinion, dancing to please others was somewhat beneath her status, but Brother Li didn't say anything, so she didn't care.
More importantly, he heard from those yellow robes that the kitchen had been working overtime these days. The food on the day of the Christmas dance must be very good. If you stay in the lounge honestly, you can only eat something casually to deal with it.
Now you can enter the venue and show off just by dancing for others. It's really a good deal. It's just that wearing a skirt is not very comfortable. The wind blows in from below, making it chilly.
After an opening dance, the warriors stepped back, and the other little wizards rushed to the center of the hall, hugged their dance partners and began to dance.
Li Zhuoguang, Pojun, Harry, and Hermione sat on the chairs at the edge. Pojun patted Li Zhuoguang's arm, and Li Zhuoguang waved casually. Her dress turned into a robe she usually wears, and Li Zhuoguang did the same.
Hermione asked in disbelief: "Your clothes are made by Transfiguration?"
Pojun nodded: "Yes, that thing is uncomfortable to wear, and I'm too lazy to buy a set specially."
Li Zhuoguang also echoed: "I think it's troublesome."
Hermione looked at the brother and sister, and didn't know what to say. At this time, Pojun had already started to show off. For this day, the kitchen had indeed put a lot of effort. There were more than a dozen desserts than usual, not to mention a series of classic European dishes such as Bordeaux red wine stewed beef, seafood risotto, Iberian ham, roasted pork elbow, moussaka, churrasco, French bouillabaisse, etc.
At this time, a platinum-colored dog approached the crowd stealthily. It was Malfoy.
Hermione looked at Malfoy in surprise: "How did you get in?"
Harry saw that Malfoy was also getting ready and was considering whether to report him to the professor.
Malfoy proudly unbuttoned his velvet dress, sat down next to him, and said disdainfully: "Who am I? I'm Draco Malfoy, it's not easy for me to find someone to take me in?"
Pojun, with dessert in his mouth, looked Malfoy up and down: "Well, a pretty boy like you is indeed popular with old women. Did you sell your body?"
Malfoy's face flushed: "I didn't, I just spent some gold galleons."
Malfoy took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and pretended to be nonchalant and said to Pojun: "It's boring to see you sitting here eating all the time. Do you need me to take you to the dance floor..."
Pojun frowned: "Huh! I danced once just to come in to eat, but you dared to ask me to dance a second time, you're asking for a fight!"
As he said that, he kicked Malfoy in the waist.
"Ouch!"
