Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#377 - Chapter 377 The Troubles of Young Potter

"Harry, your thoughts are too chaotic. Your memory palace is full of flaws. This isn't up to your usual standard."

After a small offensive and defensive test of Harry's memory palace, Sebastian sat back in his chair, smiling at him.

"Tonight, Malfoy performed much better. You've been outdone by him."

Hearing Sebastian's praise, Malfoy held his head high, glancing at Harry with a smug look.

Harry scratched his head sheepishly, "Sorry, Professor! I'm a bit distracted and can't seem to clear my mind and eliminate distractions."

"Oh?" Sebastian asked gently, "Care to share what's bothering you? After discovering the flaws in your memory palace, I withdrew and didn't pry into your memories."

This... It's a bit difficult to say.

Harry hesitated for a moment, then pleaded with a bitter face, "Professor, could you please help me ask Professor McGonagall not to make me attend the Yule Ball?"

"I really... I really can't dance, and I don't have the confidence to find a suitable partner."

"Hahaha—" Looking at Harry's bitter face, Sebastian laughed heartily.

Based on the original plot, he thought Harry wouldn't start worrying about the Yule Ball until December.

"Harry, you're putting me in a difficult position. I'm not confident I can get Professor McGonagall to agree to this."

"Besides, it's a tradition for the champions to lead the dance in the Triwizard Tournament. If you're absent then, it'll cause even more gossip."

"Girls aren't some kind of monster. Surely they're not scarier than a dragon in your eyes?"

"Go ahead and ask boldly. I believe many girls won't refuse you."

Truthfully, Harry wanted to nod and admit that, in his eyes, the girls were scarier than a dragon right now.

At least dragons wouldn't gather in groups of twos and threes, pointing and gossiping about him.

But he also knew he couldn't say that carelessly. If word got out that he thought girls were scarier than dragons, he'd hardly have a place to stand in Hogwarts.

Seeing Harry's timid appearance, Malfoy curled his lip in disdain.

"This little thing has you so troubled? You're really pathetic, Harry."

"Enough!" Harry glared at him. "How are you any better? You haven't found a partner either, have you?"

Ha!

This young master is handsome and charming. I could get a whole bunch of girls to want to be my girlfriend with just a wave of my hand.

A little dance partner? It's a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Malfoy smiled smugly, "Sorry to disappoint you."

"Professor McGonagall just posted the announcement last night, and I already found a partner."

What?

Found a partner last night?!

Harry looked at Malfoy in disbelief.

What the f***!

Are you a dog, kid? So fast?

Also, weren't you the one who told me with conviction that women would only affect our spellcasting speed?

But in the blink of an eye, you betrayed me and found a partner first.

I always thought that even if I couldn't find a partner, at least Malfoy would be embarrassed with me.

I was too naive.

"Who's your partner?" Harry asked curiously, "Is it Pansy?"

In Harry's impression, Pansy Parkinson from Slytherin seemed to have been chasing Malfoy all along.

"It's not her!" Malfoy shook his head. "Pansy's thoughts are a bit extreme. It's hard for us to connect."

Pansy was too much like he used to be, a standard pure-blood supremacist.

But his thoughts have been progressing, while she's still stuck in the old ways. There's no way to talk to her.

"My partner is Astoria, a third-year student in Slytherin. You probably don't know her."

Instead of finding so many girls in the same grade, he actually found a younger student as a partner?

Shameless!

On this point, he absolutely couldn't learn from Malfoy.

Even if he couldn't find a partner, and had to dance holding his own hands, he would never find a lower-grade student as a partner.

Harry rolled his eyes, and was just about to insult him when he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute!

Malfoy has already found a partner, and Cedric goes without saying.

So, it seems that only he is still alone among the three champions of Hogwarts.

What if he still hasn't found a partner by the time of the Yule Ball?

Could it be that he really has to dance a solo dance holding his own hands?

Just thinking about this possibility made Harry's scalp tingle.

He could only comfort himself silently.

Don't worry, don't worry, there's still time, everything will be alright.

Ron probably hasn't found a partner either. With this fellow sufferer by his side, things won't be too bad.

"Harry," Malfoy patted Harry on the shoulder, "Don't say I'm not looking out for you. If you're too embarrassed to speak up, I'll help you ask."

"Just tell me in advance which female classmate you've taken a fancy to."

"But let's get one thing straight!" Malfoy raised his voice slightly. "Cho Chang is off-limits. I won't help you steal Cedric's girl."

"Seriously, forget about her. Don't dwell on it so much."

Who said I wanted to find Cho Chang?!

Isn't that pure slander?

Also, I'm not dwelling on it.

Harry was a little annoyed and wanted to argue that he didn't care anymore, but he couldn't deceive his own heart after all.

"Alas... Tell me, why is this thing called love so bitter?"

"Stop pretending to be a poet," Malfoy patted him. "Like I said, besides Cho Chang, ask me for help with anything."

Sebastian was amused by Harry's remarks.

Honestly, Cho Chang and Harry aren't a good match in terms of personality.

Cho Chang is a simple girl who only wants the kind of sweet romance where the world revolves around her.

And that's exactly what Harry can't give her.

When facing Mia and himself, Harry is quite obedient and well-behaved, but when facing his peers, this kid is quite stubborn.

He doesn't have that many tricks and doesn't know how to please girls at all.

Only someone like Ginny in the original story, who is centered around Harry and trusts him one hundred percent, can be with Harry.

Of course, Harry and Ginny don't have a spark right now, and he can't randomly match them up.

"Harry, you're just looking for a dance partner right now, don't make it sound like you're looking for a girlfriend," Sebastian said gently.

"And don't worry too much. You're a champion of Hogwarts. Even if you do nothing, someone will invite you."

"Then, you just need to accept the invitation of one of the girls and gallantly accompany her for the whole night."

Is that so?

But as a boy, he still wanted to be more proactive.

Harry was a little embarrassed and couldn't make a decision for a while.

"By the way, Harry," Malfoy asked, "You haven't said what kind of girl you want as a partner."

Harry thought for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence after Malfoy waited impatiently.

"Pretty..."
