Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

December this year seems to be extremely cold, especially when winter snowflakes are flying.

Professor McGonagall was still talking about some of the more obscure spells in the Transfiguration class on the podium, but Louis was surprised not to listen.

"Mr. Wiggins, please listen carefully." McGonagall tapped Lewis on the head with the wand, "I feel that you have been out of shape recently. If this continues, you may not be able to enter my S class."

Louis shook his head and quickly corrected himself. The Transfiguration class was the most difficult one. Even though he was only in the third grade, he felt a little bit of pressure.

"Okay, everyone, listen to me." Professor McGonagall returned to the podium and turned the attention of the students.

"This year's Christmas will be special. Because of the Triwizard Tournament, Hogwarts will hold the Christmas Ball this year. This is a traditional event of the Triwizard Tournament and a good opportunity for us to communicate with foreign friends. Of course, Except for Mr. Wiggins." Professor McGonagall paused and looked in Louis' direction.

"Except for Mr. Wiggins, the dance is only required for students in the fourth year of Hogwarts and above. If you want to participate in the dance, you have to wait until the senior students ask you to participate."

For a moment, the students below began to murmur, feeling indescribably excited but complaining that they might not be able to attend the prom.

"You have to wear formal robes." Professor McGonagall continued, not paying attention to the reactions of the students below. "The dance will start at eight o'clock in the evening and end at twelve o'clock. Listen..."

Mag looked at the girls below. Their eyes seemed to be shining, even though most of them might not be able to attend the dance.

“The Yule Ball will give us a chance to be more relaxed and disheveled.”

"However, we will not relax the system." Professor McGonagall's tone suddenly became stern, "Even if some of you will not participate, I have to make it clear that Hogwarts will never let anyone go to embarrass it. s student."

As soon as she finished saying this, the bell rang. The students put on their backpacks and walked out of the classroom, but Louis was stopped by McGonagall.

"Wiggins, I have something to explain to you. The warriors of the Triwizard Tournament need dance partners."

"Dance partner?" Louis was a little confused. He was still thinking about the spell in class, "What dance partner?"

"Partner for the Yule Ball, Wiggins." Professor McGonagall reminded, "You need to dance..."

"Well, Professor McGonagall, you know, my limbs are uncoordinated." Louis shook his arm, "Look, I'm afraid it will be bad if I step on the other person's foot."

"I can't dance, Professor..."

It was true that he couldn't dance. He had only seen ballet and Latin dance on TV.

"No, you must know how." Professor McGonagall said in a commanding tone, "This is a rule, Wiggins, a rule of the Triwizard Tournament."

"But the rule doesn't mean that those under fourth grade cannot invite others to the prom..."

"But you are a Hogwarts Warrior," Professor McGonagall said. "The rules for warriors are higher than the ordinary rules of the ball, so obviously you are an accident, Wiggins."

"But Professor..."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say." Professor McGonagall interrupted him, "If you don't know how to dance, I can teach you..."

"No need, no need...it's too much trouble for you."

Louis could imagine himself and Professor McGonagall dancing hand in hand. The scene was simply too horrible to watch.

He was not in a hurry to find a dance partner, but he felt a little bitter about having to show off his poor dancing skills in the eyes of so many people.

Hogwarts was bustling with activity. Normally, not many people would stay in school on Christmas Day, but as soon as the news came out, almost all students in the fourth grade and above chose to stay in school.

Louis suddenly discovered that there were suddenly many more girls in the school. They were all gathering together, laughing and playing, waiting for the boys to come and invite them.

When some boys passed by them, they screamed, trying to get their attention.

"These girls..." Harry sighed, "They always go in groups, so how do we invite them?"

"Maybe you can trap one." Ron gave him a suggestion, "Have you decided who to invite, Harry?"

Harry shook his head. To be honest, there weren't many people of the opposite sex he usually talked to, Hermione being the only one. But if Hermione was invited, then Ron would be alone.

Thinking of this, a moving figure suddenly appeared in his mind. .

"Oh, I really envy Louis. He already has someone chosen and doesn't have to worry about this matter at all." Ron sighed.

In fact, Louis' situation is no better than theirs. Harry and the others can't find a dance partner, while Louis has become a hot commodity among girls.

Ever since Louis defeated the Feather Dragon alone, his fame in the school has soared day by day, and he has become a popular candidate for the prom among senior girls. Even Qiuchang's best friend Margaret of Ravenclaw Academy asked him to An invitation was sent.

But obviously, he rejected them all so ruthlessly that he was called a "ruthless young man" by the girls.

"This is already the seventh one, Louis." Colin expressed his envy. These days, following Louis, he has actually seen many beautiful seniors hidden in the school.

"If you don't want it, you can push it to me."

"Come on, Colin." Louis teased, "You didn't really invite me, you were just a tool to go to the dance."

"What you said is a bit hurtful. I can't pursue my love." Colin rolled his eyes at him. He and his younger brother Daniel were both envious of being able to attend the Yule Ball, but neither of them reached the fourth grade. Invitations can only be accepted passively.

However, this probability is extremely low. The ratio of men to women in Hogwarts is uneven, and girls generally will not take the initiative to invite the boy unless the boy is really attractive, such as Victor Krum.

The charm exuded by this Nordic boy attracted most of the girls in the school, but Krum seemed to be interested in none of them.

Louis knew that Krum would definitely invite Hermione to the Yule Ball, and Hermione just agreed. If Harry and Ron didn't hurry up, they would lose the best opportunity to invite a dance partner.

In the days that followed, Louis never had a chance to talk to Astoria. Every time he wanted to touch her, he was forcibly pulled away by the Slytherin girls.

I don't know if it's out of protection for her or for some other reason, but she is always surrounded by a bunch of girls, and those senior boys who want to invite her are basically scared back by this formation.

This made Louis have to wonder if this was Draco Malfoy's handiwork.
