It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 302 Two Lost Dogs
As the evening approached, the students crowded in front of the auditorium, waiting for the arrival of eight o'clock.

Almost every student who came to the party had their own dance partner, men and women clustered in front of the foyer, waiting for the door of the auditorium to be opened by Professor McGonagall.

Harry finally found his partner.

But to be precise, it was his dance partner who came to him on his own initiative.

Two days ago, Fleur and Harry, the two rejected dogs, got together.

After being rejected by Sherlock, Fleur doesn't want to go to any ball with other people.

But as Beauxbaton's warrior, she had to dance at the beginning of the ball, which was not something she could decide on her own will.

So she could only find Harry, the only person she knew well in Hogwarts except Sherlock, and ask him if he had found his dance partner.

At that time, Harry, who was struggling with having to invite any girl casually and dealt with it on the day of the dance, of course did not refuse.

He wasn't too embarrassed to invite other girls.

And tonight, Fleur and Harry also came to the door of the auditorium together.

As for the fact that the two of them were dancing partners, this did not cause much sensation.

After all, everyone saw in the auditorium a few days ago that Fleur's invitation to Sherlock was rejected, and the news that Harry's invitation to Qiu Zhang was rejected also came out later.

Every student knew that the two of them had no choice but to get together after being rejected to deal with the dance tonight.

Even Furong didn't put on any gorgeous clothes, and with her always cold face, it was impossible to see her expectation for tonight.

Harry stood with her in a corner outside the auditorium. There was no one around them. After hesitating for a while, Harry chose to speak.

"Actually, you shouldn't have invited Professor Forrest at all. According to what I know about him, no matter what, he would never agree to your invitation."

Fu Rong, who was already in a bad mood, said coldly.

"You think I'm not as good as your Professor Silk?"

Harry didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and she made no secret of her intention to compete with Sherlock with Silk.

"I don't mean it that way." Harry whispered secretly in his heart while explaining, if you think so, then I really mean it.

"I want to say that Professor Forrest is a person who pays great attention to the relationship between students and teachers. In his eyes, even if we first met in summer vacation, you are still a student. A student invited the professor to the dance party. , it is absolutely impossible for him to agree."

After listening to Harry's explanation, Fleur didn't speak, but poked her head out and looked among the waiting crowd, but she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.

At this moment, the time finally came, and Professor McGonagall opened the oak door of the auditorium.

Karkaroff came over with Krum, and Harry saw a beautiful girl in a blue robe beside him. At the first moment, he just thought it looked familiar, but he didn't recognize who it was.

Then Cho Chang also came to Harry, holding Cedric's arm.

Harry subconsciously wanted to back away, his face turned a little twisted, and he didn't want to have any contact with Qiu Zhang in front of him.

It's just that behind him is the wall of the castle, and he is completely in a state of nowhere to retreat.

"Hello, Harry."

Cedric greeted Harry.

His voice was still so gentle, but due to psychological effects, Harry would inevitably find this greeting a bit harsh.

"Oh, Hello."

He tried his best not to look at Qiu Zhang, and Cedric didn't seem to notice his abnormality.

He seemed to want to chat with Harry, but at this moment, Professor McGonagall helped Harry out of such a difficult situation.

"Warriors, please come here."

Cedric, Qiu Zhang, Harry and Fleur walked over together, and Krum and the girl in the blue robe had also stood beside Professor McGonagall.

The other students entered the auditorium first, and the warriors and their dance partners were the last in line to enter.

And Harry finally found out who the girl next to Krum was.

"Hermione!" He called out Hermione's name, eyes wide.

The hair was no longer messy, and the whole temperament was completely different from before. Hermione, who was like two people, also greeted them.

"Hello, Harry, and Fleur."

Furong also looked her up and down, she didn't recognize this girl at first glance just now, she was the stubborn girl who had debated with her on the way to Sherlock's office before.

Not only them, but other Hogwarts students who passed by the door of the auditorium and just recognized Hermione were all surprised.

Only Ron walked into the auditorium with his dance partner Parvati expressionless, as if he hadn't seen Hermione.

After everyone took their seats in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the warriors and their dance partners to line up two by two, and followed her in. They entered in file, and walked towards the big round table where the referee was sitting at the front of the auditorium. The people here applauded enthusiastically.

The walls of the Great Hall were covered with glittering silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and there were hundreds of mistletoe sprigs and ivy garlands, which were the reflection of Flitwick's busy day. results.

Gone were the four college tables, replaced by a hundred small, lantern-lit tables, with a dozen people sitting at each table.

The Warriors were led to the round table where the referee sat.

Dumbledore had a smile on his face, as if he was in a good mood, but if someone looked carefully at his eyes, he would find that the focus of his eyes did not seem to be in the auditorium.

Karkaroff saw Krum and Hermione walking together, with exactly the same expression on Ron's face.

Ludo Bagman, clad tonight in a bright purple gown emblazoned with large yellow stars, applauded as enthusiastically as his classmates.

Madame Maxime stripped off her usual black satin uniform and wore a flowing robe of lilac.

But Crouch was the only judge missing, and Harry found that sitting in the fifth seat at the table was the third son of the Weasley family, Percy Weasley, who now served in the Ministry of Magic.

Before the dance officially begins, it is natural to fill the stomach first.

The warriors sat down with their partners at the round table where the judges were, and Percy made a point of motioning for Harry to sit next to him.

When Fleur sat down, she finally found Sherlock's figure.

He sat close to the round table where the warriors sat, which was full of Hogwarts professors.
