Professor, please pay the debt

At 07:30 in the evening, Harry wore a gorgeous dress robe to Professor Slughorn's Yule Ball.

When he came to the college common room, he found an unusually large number of girls wandering there.They all seemed to be staring at him resentfully as he walked towards the portrait doorway.

Because Harry invited Luna to be his dance partner.

It caused quite a bit of controversy among his friends, and Ron once said in disbelief, "You could take anyone! Anyone! And you took Mad Lovegood?"

In fact, Harry took Luna to the dance for only one purpose, which was to help "The Quibbler" relieve stress.

Once Rita's article about the relationship between Potter and his son and a werewolf was published, it aroused condemnation from many wizards in the wizarding world. They believed that Rita had insulted the personality of the savior. Senjamo seized the tabloid.In this case, it is natural for the parties to stand up and make a statement.

It was impossible for Harry to say bluntly, it doesn't matter, please write whatever you want!

So he chose the cryptic expression of taking Luna to the ball.It is used to tell the world that the savior has never taken this kind of boring gossip to heart, and has a good relationship with the editor-in-chief's daughter.Of course, Harry's identity as the boss behind The Quibbler is kept under wraps.

Harry bypassed the girls and left in a hurry.In order to avoid trouble, he decided to take a short cut to pick up Luna at the Ravenclaw Tower, and when he walked through a secluded corridor, he saw Hermione—a well-dressed Hermione in evening gown, standing by the wall alone, His expression looked like he was being abused by someone.

"Hermione! What are you doing here!" Harry asked.

"Oh, hi! Harry! Are you going to pick up Luna? Then go ahead and leave me alone!"

Hermione's tone was extremely perfunctory, and when she saw that Harry was still staring at her, she had to add: "I'm just waiting for someone! Don't worry!"

Hearing this, Harry was both surprised and angry. How could he ask a girl to stand in the corridor and wait for a boy? He asked angrily:

"Who is it? Which uneducated kid you invited, tell me who it is, and I will teach him a lesson!"

"Oh, no! No! Don't mess around!" Hermione hurriedly told the truth in order to stop him, "Actually, I haven't invited anyone yet!"

Harry was even more surprised, and he looked at Hermione again. Her clothes today were completely different from usual, her hair had obviously been smoothed, her feet were also wearing high heels, and most importantly...

"You're wearing a topless dress!?" Harry pointed out reproachfully.

Hermione screamed and covered her chest with her hands, "So what! It's a very ordinary evening dress, I don't reveal much!"

"I'm not talking about that, I'm just asking, since you didn't invite a partner, why are you wearing the evening gown you wore to the ball?"

Harry really wanted to tell Hermione, don't cover it, even if you have all lights on, I'm not interested.

"I'll have a partner, just wait and see!"

Hermione had returned to her former queenly demeanor, her tone was both confident and fierce, and she no longer covered herself, because the dress was just an ordinary style as she described it.

Harry was confused by her, and in any case, Harry would not have believed that Hermione had the courage to go to the ball alone.That would be the laughing stock of the whole school.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you...my plan is: I, I'm standing here, listen to me, I'm confident! A girl like me, a smart and studious girl, stands in such an obvious position It's sure to attract attention," said Hermione.

Harry had a bad feeling, "And then..."

"And then? What then, there's no more, Harry! I'll just stand here and wait, and whoever says hello to me first, I'll invite to the ball! It doesn't matter who it is!"

Hermione's gone all out!

She met Harry's surprised and reproachful gaze with a fearless air.In the end, it was Harry who lost the battle first, he felt a little pity for Hermione!

She was like the ladies of two centuries ago, disheartened after being hurt by a loved one, and vowed to marry the first man who proposed to her, no matter who it was!

"Hermione, don't be like this, do you want me to call Ron!" Harry said impatiently.

Although Ron didn't care about the ball anymore - his goddess had made it clear she couldn't attend - Harry was still confident he'd get him.But Hermione disagreed.

"No, thank you! I'd rather give up this dance than that kissing fish!" Hermione refused very sharply.

Ron and Lavender broke up and reunited, each time for different reasons, but the way of celebrating after reunion was the same, that is, to stick together as a pair of kissing fish in public.

Harry didn't approve of Ron's behavior either, but he would never criticize Ron because he felt that.

Since Ron accepted even his homosexuality, why should he object to Lavender.

Then Harry proposed a lot of candidates.For example, Neville, Dean, Colin, Dennis...

After talking about almost all the boys in Gryffindor House, Hermione remained unmoved. She insisted that she should try her luck here, in her own words, just wait for her destined dance partner.

Harry couldn't do anything about her, and he couldn't let a girl in evening dress stand alone in the corridor, so he had to stand aside and accompany her.

"You don't have to, really!" said Hermione guiltily. "Not many people care anymore, I mean, conventional wisdom."

The traditional concept holds that girls must be picked up by men when they go out for appointments.

"It's not just about tradition, Hermione, I don't care if you're wearing normal clothes."

After speaking, Harry glanced at Hermione's chest with disgust, which caused Hermione to scream again, "I don't show much! For Merlin's sake, why are you so conservative in your thinking? You must Never seen Pansy Parkinson's dress, she showed three quarters of her breasts."

Oh...Merlin!

Is it popular among girls to compare each other who shows more?

Harry let out a weak sigh.

"By the way, my sample survey has results, do you want to hear it?" Hermione asked.

Harry also told Hermione about his troubles, and although the little witch didn't approve of Harry's relationship, she still agreed to help, and she didn't immediately make suggestions like Ron.

Because she insisted that Harry's boyfriend must first find out why he was angry before he could prescribe the right medicine.

So she spent a lot of time organizing a "Sampling Investigation Report on the Causes of Couples' Quarrels".

A hundred couples were said to have filled out the questionnaire - Harry wondered how Hermione had persuaded them.

"Great, Hermione, so...how did it turn out?"

Harry only pretended to be very interested on the surface, but in fact he didn't take this investigation at all - what did those one hundred couples have to do with me.

"It turned out to be unbelievable!" said Hermione. "You know, the number one cause of quarrels is that boys don't show up for dates... oh shit, if he's asking out girls, why doesn't he go himself?"

Harry was even more convinced that this investigation wouldn't help him, since he and Severus had never dated.

"Don't think that a date is only when you ask someone out..."

Hermione seemed to see through Harry's mind, and she reminded, "[-]% of girls think that a custom or a certain habit is also a date... I remember you said that since you were discharged from the hospital, you have been together every night —Oh, you boys are disgusting!"

"You mean, the night of the DA party, I didn't go to him according to the... oh, habit! So he got angry?"

is it possible?

Harry put a question mark in his heart, no matter how arrogant Severus is, he is still a man, he should not be so stingy!

"What's your tone? Don't you dare to doubt my report!"

"No, Hermione, of course your report is correct..." Seeing that Hermione was showing signs of anger, Harry quickly explained, "It's just..."

"Your situation is special, I know, your dancer is a boy... But I guess, if he is a pure boy, then he can't be your dancer!"

It sounds reasonable.

but……

Harry thought about Hermione's own situation - she didn't even have a dance partner, could she be trusted?

"Hermione, why haven't you asked a dance partner until now?"

Harry thought he should test Hermione's emotional intelligence before deciding whether to take her advice.

"Why did you ask this suddenly?" Hermione glared at him angrily, "Well, I'll tell you one person—I thought you were bluffing, but you didn't invite anyone at all, because I asked everyone Possibly a girl, I thought, since you are at the bottom, there is no need to worry, but unexpectedly... it is Luna!"

"You want to put me at the bottom... Also, you asked every possible girl? All of them...then why don't you just ask me?"

Harry thinks girls are weird sometimes!At the same time, Hermione's investigation report was completely rejected.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. Although no one could be seen yet, it was certain that someone was coming towards Harry and the others from the corner.

Hermione immediately became excited, and she screamed excitedly, "Oh, listen, he's coming! He's coming! My destined dance partner!"

Harry couldn't get used to this kind of Hermione, he still liked the disciplined and calm Hermione, so he sarcastically said, "Yeah, he's coming, guess who he is, could it be McLaggen!"

McCork McLaggen, a big boy in the seventh year of Gryffindor College, he is crazy about Hermione.

"No!" Hermione screamed.

"Maybe it's Zacharias Smith." The commentator of Ravenclaw College was another annoying boy.

"Don't be discouraged, I'm not that unlucky!" Hermione said angrily, "Just wait and see..."

"It doesn't matter who it is! Hermione, if you're really going to try your luck, even if it's Draco Malfoy, you have to honor your promise to invite him to the ball."
