Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Okay," she said, and then turned to talk to Aliya again, with a small smile on her face.

"It's done!" Fred said to Ivan, Harry and Ron, "It's that simple, it's a piece of cake."

In the surprised eyes of everyone, he stood up triumphantly and yawned.

"George, since Ron isn't going to lend us the piglet, we'd better use a school owl, come on..."

They left, but Ivan stayed behind and did not follow.

None of the four spoke, and looked at each other for a while, and Ivan noticed that Hermione was avoiding his gaze.

Then, she lowered her head to study her potions textbook.

Ivan wanted to say something, just like Fred, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.

Ron stopped touching his eyebrows, and looked at Ivan and Harry across the ruined and smoking card castle.

"Guys, it's time for us to take action and invite someone. He's right, we don't want to end up dancing with a couple of ugly people."

With a snap, Hermione closed the book in her hand.

She was visibly pissed off, and she even stuttered when she spoke.

"Ron, what did you just say?!" she asked with raised brows.

"Well, you know it if you don't tell me!" Ron shrugged his shoulders and said in a tone that everyone knew, "I'd rather go to the ball alone than find, say, Eloise Midgen .”

"Her acne has gotten better recently, and she's actually quite pretty!"

"Come on, she's ugly enough, not just the acne thing, I think her nose is a little crooked," said Ron.

"Oh, I see, I finally understand what you boys are thinking!" Hermione was irritated and stood up straight away, "So, fundamentally, you just want to invite the most beautiful girl who is willing to accept you!" Girl, even if she's a total badass?"

"Well, yeah, that's basically true," said Ron.

"Okay!" Hermione took a deep breath and said angrily, "I'm going to bed!"

She glanced at Ivan and Harry who didn't say a word, and under their dumbfounded gazes, she quickly walked towards the stairs of the girls' dormitory without saying another word.

Chapter 613 Autumn's Invitation

Hermione was visibly annoyed, perhaps because of what Ron had said.

These words made her feel that the three of them disrespected girls very much and were just choosing a dance partner based on their appearance.

These words are obviously wrong, and any girl with a strong sense of justice will be angry with this concept.

But Aiwen still keenly felt that this matter might have something to do with him, but he didn't think about what to do.

The Yule Ball seems to be a lot harder than summoning a demon or fighting an evil dark wizard.

In the next few days, Hermione was not with Ivan, Harry, and Ron.

She does not appear in the Gryffindor common room at night, but reads quietly in the library alone.

Regarding this point, Harry and Ron didn't have any good suggestions, and they were even more inexplicable than Ivan.

On the second day after this incident happened, another incident surprised Aiwen. He actually received an invitation from Qiu Zhang.

When he and Colin came out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, they saw Cho Zhang standing outside the door waiting for him.

Qiu held his school uniform with both hands cautiously, staring at Ai Wen shyly.

There was a twinkle in her eyes, and she seemed surprised at her own audacity.

"Evan, can I have a word with you?"

"Of course!" Ivan said, leading her to an empty corner.

Seeing Qiu's appearance, he already guessed what the other party was going to say. Ai Wen never thought that Qiu would invite him.

To be honest, Qiu looks very pretty, especially when she always speaks with a slight smile on her face, which makes people's hearts move.

There are many boys in the school who have a crush on her, such as Harry, Cedric, etc., they are all excellent.

Cho had no shortage of partners or invitations at all, but it was unbelievable that she had chosen to invite Alvin.

"Aiwen, I heard that you haven't chosen your dance partner yet, then, would you like to go to the dance with me?" Qiu said in a brisk manner, staring at Aiwen shyly, her face getting redder and redder .

Looking at the girl in front of him, Ivan was very tempted for a moment.

He shook his head, telling himself not to think about it.

"Sorry, I'm going with another person, I can't..." Ivan said frankly.

"Oh, well, it's okay!" Qiu nodded and took a deep breath, "I know you're going with Hermione, and after hearing the news that you don't have a partner yet, I just want to give it a try. try……"

"I'm really sorry!" Ivan said softly, "I've already planned to invite Hermione!"

"I know!"

They stood there looking at each other, tears seemed to be welling up in Qiu's eyes, and she tried hard not to let them fall.

Then, she said, "That's it!"

"kindness!"

"Okay, goodbye." Qiu said, still blushing, turned and left quickly.

Colin looked at Aiwen in admiration, not knowing what to say, Aiwen actually rejected Qiu's invitation.

Qiu is very popular in the school and is one of the popular candidates for the prom girls. If this matter gets out, it will definitely be hot news.

After telling Colin not to speak out, Ivan put the matter aside.

He had been determined from the very beginning to go to the Yule Ball with Hermione, and that hadn't changed.

All he needed now was a chance, a chance to be alone with Hermione and say what was on his mind.

But when Hermione was still angry, it was difficult to find this opportunity.

She didn't show up when Ivan visited Hagrid with Harry and Ron on Friday.

All in all, recently, everyone in the school has been busy with the dance.

The only good thing is that Rita Skeeter didn't come out to make trouble. She didn't publish the first game and articles about Ivan's performance. There was no report about Hagrid in the "Daily Prophet".

Alvin told Dobby to pay attention to Rita Skeeter's whereabouts and catch her when she turned into a bug.

But Rita didn't know what she was doing, and she hadn't appeared in Hogwarts for more than a week.

"To tell you the truth, she doesn't seem very interested in magical creatures," said Hagrid.

At this moment, they were all in Hagrid's cabin, asking about his interview with Rita Skeeter.

"She doesn't care about the snails, she just wants me to talk about the two of you, Alvin, Harry!" Hagrid went on. Haven't you ever reprimanded them in years?' she asked. Oops."

"Of course it is. Her focus is not on the Warriors and the Triwizard Tournament at all." Harry said in a natural tone, "For example, she can't always write about what a tragic novel I am. Heroes, that would be tiresome."

"She needs a new angle to spread rumors!" Ron said wisely, putting down a pie that was harder than a rock, "You should say that Ivan and Harry are lawless juvenile delinquents, or secretly studying Dark magic and stuff, that's what she loves to hear."

"But you're not!" said Hagrid, seeming completely stunned.

"She doesn't care if it's true or not, all she needs is a rumor that attracts people's attention," Ai Wen said.

"If she wants to hear these things, she should interview Snape." Harry said angrily, "He will sue us in front of her one day, for example, since he entered this school, he has been violating the school rules. ..."

"Snape would have said more seriously!" said Ron. "In fact, we did break a few school rules, didn't we?!"

"Okay, don't talk about her, trust me, she will be honest." Ivan said.

From another perspective, Rita Skeeter is not exactly spreading rumors.

For example, Aiwen is going to summon a demon, but he doesn't know that it will violate hundreds of school rules.

After Rita Skeeter, the conversation naturally shifted to the Yule Ball.

"Are you coming to the hapless ball on Christmas Day, Hagrid?" asked Ron.

"I want to drop by." Hagrid said hoarsely. "I think it will be very lively. You will start the dance, aren't you? Who are you going to take?"

"No one yet," said Harry and Ron in unison.

Hagrid turned his head and asked Ivan what he was going to do, he was not old enough to participate in the competition.

Ivan shook his head, not knowing how to tell Hagrid about Hermione.

Chapter 614 Rejected Harry and Ron

Coming out of Hagrid, Ivan saw Gabriel standing near Beauxbaton's carriage and waving at him.

This guy hasn't chosen his dance partner yet, but she has expressed that she hopes to be with Aiwen.

It's a pity that both of them are not old enough to go to the dance without an invitation from students above the fourth grade.

This is the tradition, even if Gabriel is a student of Beauxbatons, there is no exception.

As for Gabrielle's sister Fleur, the number of boys around her has been increasing recently.

Almost half of the boys who didn't have a partner were waiting for Furong's choice. Maybe it was because there were too many people, so she didn't make a final decision.

Of course, based on Aiwen's understanding of Furong, she might also find it interesting to do so.

Let the boys fall for her beauty, attract everyone's attention, and the girls are jealous...

Needless to say, she was really successful.

Even if she did choose someone in the end, she didn't really have feelings for him.

Affected by the Veela blood in her body, Fu Rong is very similar to Veela in choosing the opposite sex.

That is, before meeting someone he really likes, he will actively attract the attention of other men, but he is not tempted.

Men who are infatuated with Veela will forget everything in the world, and will not eat, drink, or sleep. If they are unfortunate enough to join them when Veela is dancing, they can only dance non-stop until they die from exhaustion.

In history, the number of male wizards who died because of the charm of Veela is not a small number.

Of course, if you meet a man you really like, Veela will stay with him for a lifetime, never parting, very loyal.

It can be inferred that Furong's mate selection criteria should be similar.

Ivan couldn't see any boy in Hogwarts who could satisfy Fleur, she had high eyesight.

When sending Gabriel back a few nights ago, Fleur jokingly expressed her willingness to let Ivan be her dance partner.

Aiwen directly refused, he didn't want to be played by Fu Rong like those boys in the school...

He talked to Harry and Ron, and walked towards Gabriel.

"I don't understand, Ivan has many choices, why must he insist on Hermione!" Ron said, "He has rejected many good girls these days."

His gaze followed the direction in which Ivan was heading, and finally fell on Beauxbaton's carriage.

"Hermione is actually not bad, besides, haven't the two of them been together a long time ago?!" Harry said.

"No, I heard from Ginny that Hermione talked to her about it, and the two of them didn't make much progress." Ron said, continuing to stare at Beauxbaton's carriage, "You know, Hermione's She is older than Aiwen, and she is not pretty, she has been hesitating..."

The two made rapid progress at the beginning, but they backed down when it came to the critical moment, especially Hermione.

Both Ivan and Hermione are too smart. How to put it, sometimes thinking too much is not a good thing.

"Don't worry about Aiwen for the two of us, let's think about ourselves more." Ron continued, "I never thought that finding a dance partner would be so difficult..."

What Hagrid had said to them just now made Ron a little anxious. He didn't want to be left alone without a partner.

If this is the case, it would be too embarrassing, he is a warrior!

Look at the other warriors, aren't they all surrounded by a group of people? !

Needless to say, Krum is very famous and very popular with girls, and Ron also admires him very much.

But even Diggory was the same. Although he did not perform well in the first match, he was handsome and popular. He was a warrior who was loved by almost everyone. Many girls liked him, but in Ron It seemed that Digory was actually a good-for-nothing handsome guy, whose brains were not enough to fill an eggshell.

"Yes, we have to act, Ron, there is not much time left!" Harry said, making up his mind, "Especially you, Ivan and I won't make a fool of ourselves without a partner, but you should be with others The warriors dance together first."

"You're right, we have to grit our teeth and fight it out!" Ron took a deep breath, listening to his tone as if they were planning to break through an impenetrable fortress, "Let's go back to the common room tonight When the time comes, they must all find a dance partner, and that's it!"

"Well, all right," said Harry.

The two of them separated, and Harry had no idea who Ron was targeting, but Cho Chang seemed to be on his mind.

He only needs to ask Qiu Zhang a word and invite her to the ball, it's as simple as that...
