Admiral of Hogwarts

Although both Hugo and Hermione reminded Hagrid, Hagrid was obviously not very concerned about this matter. At least he didn't think Rita Skeeter could do anything to him.

For a while, most people seemed to be in a much better mood than before. Not to mention that Veneto had become a star in the school. No matter where she went, people were talking about her last game.

Even Harry's popularity has gone up more than a notch.

At least in that Dragon Fighting game, almost all students admitted that Harry was indeed a qualified warrior, and also believed that the person who threw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire probably wanted to kill Harry. profit.

The only one who made everyone feel uncomfortable was the elusive Rita Skeeter. Although Principal Dumbledore had banned her from entering the campus, students would always see her occasionally.

But soon, everyone no longer paid attention to Rita, who was running around in the past few days, because in mid-December, news about the Yule Ball began to spread throughout the school.

After the Charms class ended that day, Professor Flitwick kept all the Ravenclaw students after class, and then seriously conveyed the news to everyone.

“The ball is a tradition of previous Triwizard Tournaments, and it is also an opportunity for us to enhance relationships and have friendly exchanges with foreign guests. All students in fourth grade and above can participate.

As for those students in the lower grades, if there are senior students willing to invite you, you can also participate in this Christmas dance as dance partners..."

The audience immediately became lively. For these adolescent wizards, the dance is definitely an anticipated event. Many boys started to get excited, while the girls chattered about the topic of prom outfits.

"Wear your formal robes," Professor Flitwick said with a smile after letting everyone discuss it for a while. "The ball will be held in the Great Hall at eight o'clock on Christmas Eve and will end at twelve midnight."

"And Vittorio Veneto. As a champion of Hogwarts and the pride of our Ravenclaw house, you need to dance the opening dance with your partner."

After hearing this, Veneto nodded to Professor Flitwick in the envious eyes of everyone. When it comes to dancing, ship girls can be proud to say that they are professionals, so she is not worried about this.

News about the Yule Ball spread throughout the castle like the wind, and almost all the students at Hogwarts were mobilized, especially the girls.

Girls giggled and whispered in the hallways, laughed shrilly every time a boy walked past, excitedly swapped ideas about what they would wear on Christmas night...

Among so many people, the four contestants are naturally the most popular, especially the two students from foreign schools. Krum would always be followed by a large group of girls, and there were many boys on Fleur's side who started to try.

As for the two contestants at Hogwarts, it was a different situation. Harry was obsessed with inviting Zhang Qiu, a senior from Ravenclaw, so he rejected several girls who took the initiative to invite them.

But no one from Veneto came to invite them. This situation occurs because, on the one hand, everyone knows the relationship between Veneto and Hugo, so students in this school are generally unwilling to ask for trouble at this time.

On the other hand, although Veneto's appearance is considered top-notch among the students at Hogwarts, he is really a bit too young. Therefore, many people are worried that inviting Veneto will cause others to question certain aspects of themselves. Is there a problem.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, although Hugo invited Veneto immediately, Veneto declined the invitation directly. The reason behind this made Hugo feel that he really had nothing to say.

"Of course I hope to attend the dance with the Admiral, but it shouldn't be a dance in Hogwarts." Veneto said in the Room of Requirement, "Otherwise it would be unfair to the other sisters."

"So I think after the Yule Ball, we can all get together and find a chance to have a dance of our own. At that time, it doesn't matter who you want to dance with, Admiral."

Of course, there is another reason that Veneto did not say: the dance partner at the Christmas ball is likely to be the hostage in the next game. As ship girls, they cannot allow their admiral to go into the water alone.

For Hugo, this was a tragic incident involving too many monks and no water to drink. Fortunately, there was still some time before the dance. As the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, he did not think that he would be so miserable that he could not find a dance partner.

And for him, there are now a lot of problems that Massachusetts and the others encounter in the American wizarding world to deal with, because as the power of the ship girls expands, all kinds of unexpected things will always happen.

For example, Salem accidentally discovered a dangerous organization composed of squibs and ordinary people shortly after the start of school this year. As a result, after directly transforming and swallowing up that organization, he discovered that this organization is called the Third Salem.

Yes, this organization is composed of the descendants of the Purifiers in the United States. Although the Second Salem organization was completely destroyed during the Grindelwald era, this organization has reappeared in the past ten years.

However, what is different from Second Salem is that due to the changes of the times, except for a very small number of core personnel inside, most of the outsiders are just conspiracy theorists or curiosity seekers.

After all, for those ordinary people who were born in the world of ordinary people in the 1970s and 1980s, a series of cultural products such as "The Lord of the Rings" and the DND series of board games would hardly make people have a strong dislike for magic or wizards.

Even many people in the new Third Salem organization think magic is a cool thing, and it is very interesting to follow the traces of magic.

There's not much Third Salem can do about this trend. Unless they are pure rednecks, they usually don't have much contact with the outside world. Otherwise it would be difficult to develop a hatred for wizards and magic.

So now Third Salem has changed its tactics. They use interest groups or fan associations as cover to recruit a large number of peripheral personnel to serve themselves, while the core personnel are responsible for various attacks.

Because of this organizational structure, the ship girls were able to take over this organization almost completely in a short period of time. They only need to reveal the facts of the organization to all members, and then reform or clean up the core personnel.

This is why the American ship girl invited Hugo and the others to go to America after attending the dance, because there are many things to discuss about the future development of this organization.

Of course, taking this opportunity, the ship girls will also get together and hold some dances or parties to relax.

Although specific things can only be handled in the United States, there are still many things that can be handled directly with the help of the Admiral Network. So Hugo naturally spent a lot of time dealing with these things.

In this way, when Hugo finished everything and started thinking about a partner for the Yule Ball, there was only a little more than a week left before the Yule Ball.

After a brief inquiry, Hugo found that at least half of the people had found their dance partners, including his sister Hermione. But Hermione didn't tell Hugo who her dance partner was.
