A friendly day at Hogwarts

Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Glenn's familiar voice.

Seeing that she didn't refute, a trace of disappointment flashed in Cedric's eyes, but he quickly covered it up well.

"I'm so sorry, I was rude." He showed a slightly forced smile and said wisely.

Seeing that he didn't bother anymore, Glenn didn't say anything more and watched him leave with a polite smile.

When he walked away, Qiu Cai smiled and whispered, "If I remember correctly, you haven't invited me to be your dance partner yet, right?"

"E.." Glenn's smile froze on his face, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

Qiu's words were true. Although he had already prepared a dress for her to attend the ball, he had never found the right time to invite her and it had not yet been sent to her.

I have to admit that Cedric is, after all, Li Qiu's official partner in the original novel. When he extended the invitation, Glenn instinctively felt a sense of crisis, so much so that for a moment he felt like he was being bullied by someone from the East Eighth District. The feeling of being possessed by the president.

Seeing that Qiu had already raised such a question, Glenn simply took the opportunity and said, "Follow me, I have a gift for you."

In fact, even if he didn't extend the invitation, Qiu had acquiesced to the fact that she would attend the ball with him, and the previous question was just a joke.When she heard that Glenn had specially prepared a gift, she was stunned for a moment before getting up and leaving with him.

Several friends who were keen on gossip exchanged glances with each other, and then tacitly planned to follow up and have a look.

But before they could get up, Glenn suddenly turned back.

"Don't follow us!" he said seriously.

Several people gave him a "we all understand" look and smiled like a kind aunt.

Glenn and Autumn made their way up the stairs and were soon back in the common room.

It happened to be lunch time, everyone went to the auditorium, and the lounge was very quiet.

"Wait for me, I'll go up and get the gift."

Glenn quickly ran back to the dormitory and took out a beautifully wrapped cardboard box from the bedside table.

Even though he and Qiu had already reached a tacit understanding, Glenn, who had almost no emotional experience, still seemed very nervous when faced with this invitation that could equal a confession.

"Is this the gift you specially prepared?" Although Qiu's face was blushing, she still asked generously.

"Ah...yes." Glenn tried hard to sort out his mood, put on a serious expression, and formally invited: "Dear Miss Qiu Zhang, would you like to attend the Christmas ball with me?"

Although he finished his lines without any stumble, the almost crushed gift box still betrayed his mood at the moment.

"I do!" Qiu accepted his gift without hesitation and said with a smile.

Glenn breathed a long sigh of relief and pointed at the box with a smile: "Open it and take a look. This is specially prepared for the dance."

Qiu nodded and pulled away the colorful ribbon that bound the carton, revealing a light blue brocade cheongsam lying quietly inside.

"I asked Mr. Changqing to make a special trip to Shanghai to find the best cheongsam shop there to order it," Glenn explained.

Compared to the traditional cheongsam, the style of this one is more like what people often call improved cheongsam. It retains the original slimming features and incorporates some Western elements. It also adds a skirt, making it more suitable for scenes such as Christmas dances.

The cheongsam master also specially added a small shawl, adding a bit of girlish charm.

"It's so beautiful!" Qiu's eyes were instantly attracted, and she held it in front of her and gestured with it, unable to put it down.

"Would you like to try it on?" Glenn asked, "The sizes were specially ordered from Sumire, so they should fit quite well."

Qiu hesitated for a moment and shook her head, obviously not wanting Glenn to see it in advance.

At this time, the door to the lounge was quietly pushed open, revealing three curious faces.

There was no doubt that it was the three gossipy friends who were ordered not to follow.

It's a pity that autumn is just around the corner

The cheongsam had been folded and put back into the carton, and the few of them could hardly see anything.

"Stop hiding." Glenn said with a speechless face, "You are already too late."

After hearing what he said, several people had no choice but to open the door and walk in. They were still complaining about each other for wasting time. Qiu looked at them with a smile, took the cheongsam back upstairs and put it away.

Glenn successfully solved the problem of inviting dance partners and was naturally in a good mood, but Harry and Ron on the other side were not so relaxed.

When they returned to the auditorium again, the entrance hall was crowded with people. Fleur was talking to Cedric who had just been rejected. Morgana was waiting beside her boredly.

The two mixed-breed Veela are enough to become the focus of the crowd even if they don't deliberately exude charm.

What's more, in order to get Cedric to agree immediately, Fleur could be said to be fully charming at this time. Even if Glenn was close, she couldn't keep calm without cheating.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why so many people gather here.

As soon as they came down the stairs, Eddie and Marcos were immediately attracted and almost rushed up to extend the invitation.

The same goes for Harry and Ron who just walked out of the Great Hall.

Fortunately, Ginny was beside Harry at the moment and reached out to hold him.At the critical moment, she subconsciously chose to stop Harry and let her resentful brother fend for himself.

As if sleepwalking, Ron kept walking towards Fleur and asked without hesitation: "Miss Delacour, will you go to the ball with me?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ron.

Furong was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned around and looked at this "warrior" in confusion.

Before she could speak, Ron suddenly came to his senses. His entire face, including his ears, turned into the color of his hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned white instantly.

"Sorry, I just..."

Just as Fleur opened her mouth, the white-faced Ron turned around and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight as if he were fleeing.

"...I just accepted Mr. Diggory's invitation..."

It wasn't until the hem of his robe disappeared around the corner of the stairs that Fleur managed to finish half of her sentence.

At this time, Harry had just come back to his senses.

He looked down blankly, noticing that Ginny was still tugging hard on his arm.Ginny's face quickly turned red and she let go of him in a panic.

"What happened?" He looked at Glenn and the others who were walking over and asked blankly.

Glenn suppressed a smile and explained: "You were attracted by Delacour's Veela magic, and you almost rushed to confess your love. If Ginny hadn't held you back, I'm afraid you would have run away like Ron. !」
