A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 412
In the common room, Xixiu Valen enjoyed special treatment.

After sending away group after group of people who came to watch the excitement, Harry and the others sat in their old seats in the corner.Both Ron and Hermione were embarrassed to speak because Varen saw the shameful side. Harry thought about it, but still felt that it would be easier to talk to Varen.

"Want some candy?" he asked.

Warren shook his head. It took out a box of crackling explosion cards from its pocket, and looked at them with bright black eyes.That means, is there anyone playing cards?

Hermione, who had been silent all this time, laughed, "Varen, have you learned this yet?"

Ron also blinked, and whispered in a secretive tone: "I'll teach you a new way to play, my exclusive invention... It's not the traditional way, nor the Bavarian way, just watch!"

He opened the box and quickly built the foundation of a castle with exploding cards. "Next is the second floor. Keep stacking up. At this time, you must keep your hands steady... oh..." Ron stretched his face, because The second floor of the castle has begun to flicker with sparks.

Varen nimbly jumped up from the table, jumped into Hermione's arms, and stared back at the two-story crude castle.

"boom!"

Ron's card castle exploded, and a cloud of fire and black smoke rose from the table. Varen watched with interest.

Harry and Hermione wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Ron wiped his dirty face with his sleeve and said bitterly, "It's actually quite exciting, isn't it? I recommend you to play with the professor. One, there will definitely be a trick in the end. Believe me, I'm on your side!" He vowed to Varun.

"Oh, that's right," said Hermione suddenly, and she held up the Niffler so that its eyes looked at her. "Varren, do you know that hourglass that you gave Harry?" She handed it to Harry. a glance.

Harry understood, took out a dusty hourglass from his pocket, and stretched it out in front of it, "That's it. I heard Hermione say, uh, she actually only heard Professor Haip mention it once, and you snatched it in the middle of the night. Gringotts Goblin's gem, and then ordered by the professor to return it..."

After staring at the hourglass for a long time, Xixiu didn't have much impression of it. This kind of thing didn't attract it much. What was the situation at that time?

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Sniff, gestured, and guessed, and almost figured out what happened.

"So, you returned all the gems, but for some reason, left the hourglass... You didn't take it seriously when you counted the treasures later." Hermione concluded.

Sniff nodded and continued to gesture.

"You have too many treasures... I didn't pay attention to this hourglass." Hermione said with some difficulty, and Varen nodded sharply, yes, that's it.Ron on the side widened his eyes, staring at the pocket of Xixiu, "How many things have you hidden, I can see—"

Varun immediately turned his head away.

"—well, I see what you mean," said Ron.

At this time, Ginny walked over and sat next to Hermione, "Oh, little Varen, it's you..." Hermione was combing its hair, and Ginny sniffed and asked in a casual tone: " Have you figured it out, should you take the initiative to invite your dance partner, or wait for others to invite you? It won’t be the last one left.”

Harry and Ron on the side stared wide-eyed, they were worrying about this matter.Yesterday in Transfiguration class on Friday, they finished their class assignment ahead of schedule - transforming guinea fowl into guinea pigs - and decided to play dueling.Holding two fake wands, Ron holding a tin parrot and Harry holding a rubber haddock, Harry and Ron went back and forth in the back row of the room to compete in fencing.

Hermione looked at them irritably, she was sorting out her transformation notes, "Gentlemen, can't you do something that suits your age?"

"You see, we are practicing swordsmanship, following the example of the first headmaster, Godric Gryffindor." Ron defended his childish behavior, while taking advantage of Harry's inattention to attack.

"Well, do you know Gryffindor's favorite spell?" Hermione asked lightly.

Harry and Ron stopped and looked at each other.

"Sharp Blade, this spell can add magic power to the weapon, greatly improving the sharpness and toughness of the weapon, just like solidifying the effect of the cutting spell. Of course, it should be even better. With a sword, it can easily cut through the dragon's skin," explained Hermione, completing the last part of her notes.

At this time, Professor McGonagall came over and saw that the tinned parrot that Ron was carrying—Harry's rubber haddock head broke in the fight. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Immediately, she turned and walked onto the podium, announcing the news of the Christmas ball to everyone.

"The dance party is only open to students above the fourth grade. If you plan to, uh... let your hair loose and relax yourself," Professor McGonagall paused and said disapprovingly, "You have to find a dance partner for yourself...Of course, You can also invite students from lower grades..."

Lavender Brown let out a piercing smirk, but she was not alone, as Parvati Patil poked her so hard that they both turned to look at Harry.In fact, more than half the girls in the class were looking at him at this moment, and Harry had never felt such a blazing stare.

After the course, Professor McGonagall left Harry, Hermione, and Ron behind with a shocking news.

"You should know." McGonagall said dryly.

Harry looked suspiciously at Hermione and nodded for granted, then looked at Ron, who was also confused, and Harry thought Professor McGonagall left them because of his headless rubber black line What about cod, but now it seems that his understanding has gone wrong.

"Potter, warriors have their companions—" said Professor McGonagall.

"M-what!" Harry cut her off with a gasp.

"Partner, partner, whatever you want to understand," said McGonagall, noticing that Harry blushed and smiled understandingly, "Yes, traditionally, the dance is held by warriors and their partners."

Harry was still in a daze, he wanted to make a happy expression, because Professor McGonagall obviously thought it was the privilege and honor of the brave, but he just imagined the funny picture of himself wearing a top hat and a tuxedo, I can't wait to throw this honor away.

Maybe Ron would like it, Harry thought, but he soon realized that Ron was one of the champions, too, along with Hermione.

Coming out of the classroom, Harry and Ron were a little listless, which prevented them from noticing Hermione, who was also worried, and Professor McGonagall's last words were like whips on their hearts, crackling in their hearts——

"As the most important representatives of the school, you must do what everyone expects you to do. Therefore, you must find yourself a dance partner."

As they walked towards the auditorium, Ron said a little bitterly: "You're actually welcome, Harry, you're always welcome, the girls can't wait for you to invite them, and maybe...someone else has offered to invite you." It's much harder for me, and, did you hear what Professor McGonagall said? Everyone must wear dress robes...Damn it, I have a grandmother's embroidered dress..."

In fact, Ron's words made sense, and Harry was indeed more popular than he thought.The very next day - this morning, as he and Ron were having breakfast in the Great Hall, a curly-haired third-year Hufflepuff girl invited Harry to the Yule Ball, and he hadn't even talked to her before. have spoken.

The scene was a bit embarrassing.He was discussing the dance partner with Ron, and they were all worried about it. Ron even pessimistically suggested using a confinement spell to get one back, "Don't use the most powerful spell." Ron said with deep feeling.

Harry chuckled, stuffing pumpkin porridge into his mouth, when the girl came up to him and offered him an invitation.

"Oh, uh, what did you say... Sorry, I haven't thought it through yet." Harry looked at her in surprise, and because it was too sudden, he refused without thinking.

The girl walked away with a hurt expression on her face.

Afterwards, Hermione, who hurried down the stairs, dragged them to Ilvermorny's residence, "We're thinking about our dance partner, Hermione!" Ron complained at the time, but Hermione thought the Christmas ball was still away. Half a month dismissed his excuses, Harry and Ron both wanted to escape, so they followed Hermione - until they squatted in front of the Ilvermorny garrison for two hours in extreme boredom.

If you ask him now, Harry can't say which is scarier: challenging a fire dragon, inviting a dance partner, or squatting in the ice and snow for two hours, but the scary thing is that it's already night, and he's ready to take a shower and sleep after the reception Yes, Ginny's question brought him back to reality.

……

When he was tossing and turning in bed at night and couldn't sleep, what Ginny said to Hermione was still echoing in his mind: "Have you figured it out, should you take the initiative to invite your partner, or wait for others to invite you? It won't be the last remaining Come down."

He originally had a name in mind, but he knew it was just his own wild imagination, but a secret thought told him, what if, what if Cedric didn't invite Qiu, that Collins is pretty pretty, isn't he?

But now, he wasn't too sure.
