Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

The popularity of the Ice and Snow World quickly swept through the entire wizarding world, attracting countless wizards who came to visit.

The foot traffic in Hogsmeade New Town was more than double its usual amount, with crowds jostling each other on the streets, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Merchants were making a fortune, their faces constantly adorned with smiles.

They worked overtime to replenish their stock, even temporarily hiring many students to cope with the peak flow of customers.

This move solved the urgent needs of international exchange students.

There was no other way; Hogsmeade New Town was simply too fun, which led to some people spending almost all the money they brought.

If they wanted to continue living the good life, they had to find ways to work and earn money.

However, they spent what they earned in New Town, not even a single Copper Knut could be brought back home.

At the same time, Hogwarts' exclusive shops also opened for the first time, with Sebastian specially arranging for those students who had performed well in the entrepreneurial practice activities to be stationed in the shops, providing tourists with unique goods and experiences.

Hannah Abbott's Transfiguration Cakes were extremely popular and in short supply.

To this end, she hired her good friend Susan Bones to sell in the shop, while she herself was tirelessly baking cakes in the kitchen.

As for Neville, he transformed into a delivery boy, constantly shuttling between the Hogwarts kitchen and the New Town shop.

The Weasley twins' stall was also bustling with activity, with tourists vying to buy their goods in layers upon layers.

Fred enthusiastically promoted their wares: "Come one, come all, take a look at the winter artifact, the warming charm!"

"Once worn, whether in the frozen wilderness or the biting cold, you can feel the warmth of spring."

"For just three Galleons, you can relax and enjoy the Ice and Snow World," George also shouted vigorously, "Don't miss it as you pass by."

In addition to the warming charm, they also had other novel inventions, such as snowflake earrings that emitted dazzling light, and small miniature ice sculptures for decoration.

Inspired by the Transfiguration Cakes, the two of them also developed Canary Creams, which would cause tourists to grow feathers all over their bodies and turn into a large canary after eating them.

Ron squeezed in front of the two, picked up three warming charms.

These charms were of good quality and could be given to his friends as Christmas gifts.

"I'll take these three, how much in total?"

"Fair and honest, a total of 9 Galleons."

"Huh?" Ron raised his eyebrows, "I'm your brother, don't you have a discount?"

"In that case," Fred and George said in unison, "then it'll be 10 Galleons!"

Ron knew that the twins were teasing him, so he smiled and put down 9 Galleons and ran away.

Fred and George looked at each other, both seeing the smile in the other's eyes.

Little Ronnie is still silly, he doesn't even know how to bargain.

Well, Little Ronnie doesn't have a decent Christmas robe yet, so let's give him one as a Christmas gift this year.

............

In the lively atmosphere, Christmas arrived, and the young wizards also welcomed their long-awaited Christmas Ball.

Harry changed into his dress robes in the dormitory, then stood in front of the mirror, trying to make his hair behave.

He grabbed the comb with his left hand and pinched his wand with his right, trying a few simple styling spells, but found that each time it ended in failure.

Alas......

Hair is so difficult to manage, maybe I should get some hair wax from Draco.

But he quickly gave up the idea.

Since his hair couldn't be combed flat, then so be it.

Harry threw down the comb and turned to look at Ron, who was practicing smiling in front of the mirror, and teased: "Enough, Ron, you're already handsome enough.

If you keep practicing, the mirror will be blown up by your handsomeness."

Ron tugged at his bow tie and muttered: "You don't understand, this is my big day.

You don't have to wait for me, go find Ginny first."

"I'll fix my hair a bit more," Ron looked at him in the mirror, half-jokingly reminding him, "Remember to be nice to Ginny.

She's my sister!"

"Don't worry, I will," Harry waved to Ron, pushed open the dormitory door, and walked out.

As soon as he walked into the common room, his eyes were immediately attracted by a splash of bright red.

It was Ginny, who was sitting on the sofa by the fireplace, wearing a burgundy dress robe, with a delicate silver belt around her waist, looking particularly elegant and moving.

Her hair was gently tied up, revealing her slender neck and exquisite earrings.

At this moment, Ginny had a faint smile on her face and was talking softly with her friends.

However, when she turned her head and saw Harry, her eyes, as bright as stars, immediately lit up.

"Harry!" she whispered, bid farewell to her friends in a hurry, and ran towards him.

Harry's heart suddenly missed a few beats.

Merlin's Christmas Ball!

Ginny is too beautiful tonight, I didn't even notice it before!

The little girl stopped in front of Harry, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes with a bit of anticipation.

Harry quickly adjusted his expression, extended his arm, and said with a smile: "Shall we go?"

Ginny shyly took Harry's arm, and the two walked out of the common room side by side, walked down the stairs, passed through the brightly lit corridor, and came to the entrance hall in front of the Great Hall.

The entrance hall was already bustling with noise, with students gathering in twos and threes, waiting for the Great Hall doors to open on time at eight o'clock.

The boys had all changed out of their usual school uniforms and put on formal dress robes, while the girls were dressed up in盛装, each one like a blossoming flower, dazzling to the eye.

Just as Harry was scanning the audience, looking for the champions and their partners, a group of Slytherin students slowly walked over.

Each of them was dressed appropriately, with a natural demeanor, as if this Christmas Ball was just a part of their daily lives.

Walking in the front was Malfoy, who was wearing a perfectly tailored black velvet high-necked dress robe, with silver embroidery on the cuffs, looking both solemn and elegant.

He raised his chin slightly, his blond hair was not messy, and he looked like a handsome guy who came out of a classical portrait.

A girl wearing an emerald green dress robe took his arm, no need to guess, it was Astoria Greengrass, whom Malfoy often mentioned.

Seeing this scene, Harry suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.

There was no other way, he had previously despised the other party in his heart for being shameless, and actually found a younger schoolmate as a dance partner.

Unexpectedly, fate makes fools of people, and his Christmas Ball partner is also a third-grade younger schoolmate.

Fortunately, he hadn't ridiculed Malfoy in person before, otherwise, who knows how this guy would arrange himself now.

Malfoy obviously also found Harry, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he walked over directly with Astoria.

"Hey, Harry, this outfit is not bad," Malfoy said with a smile, "Is this your dance partner?"

If I'm not mistaken, this is Weasley's sister Ginny, right.

Very beautiful, you kid really put theory into practice."

Harry's face flushed slightly, and he quickly changed the subject and chatted with the other party randomly, Ginny and Astoria also joined the chat, and everyone quickly became acquainted.

Facing Ginny, Malfoy didn't act like he did with Ron, having to fight a few words as soon as they met, but was graceful and showed gentlemanly demeanor.

Unconsciously, eight o'clock arrived, the doors of the Great Hall opened, and Professor McGonagall walked out.

"Please, champions, bring your partners to my side."
