[HP] Seven Nights Talk

The wonderful Invisibility and Flying Charms that Harry used spread throughout Hogwarts in an instant.He is only in the fourth grade now, and these magics far exceed the level of normal students of the same grade.Especially the invisibility spell, the level is considered to be comparable to Auror's stealth.

In this way, fame is inevitable.Rita is now reporting on the savior of young geniuses, so one can imagine the reactions of others.Ron stated that he understood why Harry's Invisibility Cloak never came in handy, while Hermione and Sirius seemed to believe in his level of magic unconditionally.Now the title of savior is more like a compliment of strength, rather than just relying on his mother's previous protection for him.Even if Harry thinks he should be guilty, people's thoughts have obviously been led in that direction - Voldemort secretly forced him to study hard before, and everyone saw it, so no one suspects him now.

That's not a bad thing, Harry thought.Even if he can't tell people what it's actually going on, he can still achieve some goals; say the dragon egg, or say the following Christmas.Of course, Hermione's SPEW doesn't matter.

On a Thursday morning in mid-December, Professor McGonagall made an announcement after Transfiguration.In previous years, it was the school registration at this time, but this year it was the Yule Ball.All students in Year [-] and above have the option to stay on, and Harry as a warrior must dance.

"Sounds great," said Ron as they walked back to the Great Hall for lunch. "Who would you like to invite, Harry?"

Harry shook his head.It's not who he wants to invite, but who he must invite.

Hermione, beside him, gave him a worried look.Judging from the recent situation, it is impossible for Harry to invite the professor of their Defense Against the Dark Arts course, right?

Ron thought the answer was no. "You just took on a dragon! I bet the girls will line up to dance with you."

Harry was noncommittal.Although he can't be said to be experienced in many battles, he is not the coy boy he was last time.Don't you just hurry up?As soon as he sees Qiu, he invites her immediately...

He's lucky.Because before the three of them reached the entrance of the auditorium, Harry saw a dozen or so Ravenclaw girls approaching together, who seemed to be going to have lunch.Since it is necessary to strike first, there is no need to wait any longer.He said in a low voice, you go in first, and walked towards the group of girls who blushed when they saw him. "Can I take a moment of your time, Cho? I have something to tell you."

The other girls all showed envious and narrow expressions, pushed Qiu to Harry's side, and then entered the door chirping.And Ron and Hermione entered the door together and said like a cannonball: "Harry definitely wants to invite her! If you really say that, besides you, the person Harry has seen the most times is Cho, right? Hermione?" She's actually quite pretty..."

Hermione didn't pay any attention to what he said, she just looked back at Harry and Cho.Harry himself admitted to her that the person he likes is Professor Roald, but now... did he do it on purpose for others to see, or has he already shifted his target?

Not two minutes after they sat down, Harry came in from outside, sat down too, and started eating lunch.Ron kept blinking at him. He knew what the other person wanted to ask, so he just nodded briefly.Professor McGonagall notified him in the morning, and he acted at noon. There was not much time difference. How could it be unsuccessful?

"Do you like her now?" Hermione couldn't help asking in a low voice.Why does she always have a bad feeling?

"I just asked her if she would like to go to the Yule Ball with me." Harry replied calmly.

Hermione bit her lower lip and looked at him, then couldn't help but glance at the teacher's table again.Nothing unusual... Is she worrying too much?

This question was answered in the afternoon.

Because the afternoon is Defense Against the Dark Arts, a fixed weekly time for Hermione to lift her heart.From a normal point of view, she didn't understand how Harry fell in love with the professor, and it was normal for the professor to refuse; but from a selfish point of view, she hoped that everything Harry wanted to do would go well.But Harry did nothing but tell her he liked it, and she didn't know what to do.She thinks she can't interfere with a professor's tendency, especially when Professor Roald seems to be very difficult to persuade.So, is she trying to persuade Harry to give up, or is she helping Harry catch some clues and create a turning point?

It's pretty normal in class.But right after class was over, Harry was left behind.Hermione was outside waiting for him with Ron, but in fact she was almost pinned against the door.Ron didn't know why, but he followed suit.

"What's the matter?" Harry was not surprised by this development.He remained where he was, looking straight into Voldemort's dark eyes without fear. "What do you want to say?"

Voldemort stood behind the dais, pressing his fingers lightly on the table. "I heard, you have found a partner for the Christmas ball?"

What kind of listening speed is this... "The news is pretty fast." Harry raised his eyebrows, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "But is this also something the professor should care about?"

Voldemort's gaze flicked past the door. "No, I just want to say that you move quickly and have a good eye." He tapped his fingers on the table, "It should be the best choice you can think of, I have to say."

Harry tried to keep his face under control by telling himself not to be provoked. "I don't need to bother you." He said in a dark tone, "Is that the only thing you want to say?"

"No," Voldemort said slowly, with a completely normal smile on his face, "I hope you will continue to work hard."

Harry stood up with a whoosh. "It's none of your business whether I continue to work hard or not." He didn't intend to continue the conversation, and walked directly towards the door.Hermione and Ron stepped back quickly when they saw him approaching.Then the three left, and the classroom returned to silence.Voldemort looked at his immediately clenched fist, showed a slightly mocking expression, turned and left.If he's not mistaken, this is just the beginning...

All students in grades [-] and above are staying at school this Christmas because of the Yule Ball.In order to impress the guests of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, this Christmas at Hogwarts was the most beautifully decorated.Everyone can notice this, and everyone pays more attention to another point-that is, the partner.

Harry didn't have the scruples to wait until something happened this time, but Ron did.Originally, Harry hinted Ron that he could invite Hermione, but before Ron understood what he said, Hermione found out about it, which made her roll her eyes several times.That's not all, when they were alone in the library, Hermione warned him in a low voice: "Don't try to match others," she said unhappily, "You take care of yourself!"

This refusal surprised Harry more than anything else, because he could see that Hermione really didn't seem to mean that. "...I thought..." He stammered a bit.

"You think I like Ron, and he likes me, but he's too slow to notice, doesn't he?" Hermione helped him go on, very annoyed: "What the hell did I do to make you feel this way? a misunderstanding?"

Harry opened his mouth, unable to explain.There is really no way to explain this.Because you used to be a couple?That's no reason at all.

Hermione sighed involuntarily when she saw him gaping. "Instead of caring about this, you might as well tell me what happened that day? Ron didn't catch it, but it doesn't mean I can't guess it."

As soon as this Harry was mentioned, he felt a little wilted, or he was already angry about it. "Then I think you probably guessed right." He said listlessly.

"I heard..." Hermione looked at him, unsure whether to continue.

She heard some news that there was a reason why Karkaroff didn't appear much recently, because someone saw Professor Roald having a conversation with him after the first round; after that, Karkaroff Husband is not the high-spirited Karkaroff before.The timing is a little sensitive. Just as Karkaroff gave Harry the only 5 points, Professor Roald had something to say. Is this a coincidence?And the partner, Harry didn't say anything at all, Professor Roald knew it immediately in the afternoon.Second coincidence?

To be honest, she didn't believe it.But what in the end was holding things back, she didn't know.It would seem too much to ask directly, so she thought about it and changed the question: "Are you sure?" When she asked this, she obviously denied the possibility of unrequited love, and thought it was a rather special situation .

"I think I should answer yes." Harry simply lay down on the table.In front of insiders, he has no emotions that need to be particularly concealed. "Actually," he considered his words, "things are more complicated, and there are more concerns."

Hermione raised her eyebrows high.She could tell that Harry wasn't lying, but she really didn't understand what happened in less than half a year that she didn't know.She still wanted to ask more questions, but she heard a third person's voice asking, "Sorry...excuse me, can I have a word with you? Um, G... Ranger?"

This sentence is really familiar.Harry and Hermione turned their heads together to see Krum standing by their table.He looked at Hermione warily, and couldn't help but look hostilely at Harry.

Well, it doesn't look like he's changed the fact that Krum has taken a liking to Hermione at least, Harry thought.There were already many girls around who were spying on Krum, and the whispers became bigger at this time, making it impossible not to pay attention.Hermione glanced at him, and could only give up the idea of ​​continuing to ask, stood up and left with Krum.

Harry watched their backs and buried his head between his arms.Voldemort guessed that he asked Cho to be his partner, so did he fail?Would the other party even have expected his subsequent plan?No, even if Voldemort discovers the part of the dance partner, it doesn't mean that it will be predicted later.Voldemort was too confident in himself to know what he would do this time.
