Magical Studies at Hogwarts

This year's Hogwarts may be the happiest, with interesting things happening one after another.

Just after finishing the first project of the Triwizard Tournament, the students got another exciting news:

On Christmas Day, there will be a grand dance!

"This is the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament. The warriors will dance the first dance with their partners." When the Charms class was about to end, Professor Flitwick introduced to the students with a smile, "In order to show foreign friends We show our style, I hope you all put on your most beautiful dresses and show off your wonderful dance moves."

"This year, all students in grade four and above will participate in the prom, so in order to prevent yourself from feeling too lonely, I think you'd better find your dance partner as soon as possible..."

"By the way, lower grade students can also be invited." After saying that, Professor Flitwick winked.

In the days that followed, Ike finally saw how scary the girls at Hogwarts were, and how impatient the boys were.

They always walk in the corridor in groups of three or five. Whenever a boy passes by, they will attract their attention, and they will gather together to talk in low voices, and scream from time to time.There are also groups of boys, but usually one person walks towards the gathered girls, while the rest make various encouraging gestures behind them.

Then, people burst into cheers when they succeeded, and continued to ridicule when they failed, until the next one walked towards the girls...

"You shouldn't be with us, Ike." Stewart and Terry kept pushing Ike aside.

"I'm cheering you on, Stuart." Ike smiled and rubbed back.

"Damn it, leave now, we don't need you here!" Stewart threatened in a low voice, then turned to Hermione who was covering her mouth and laughing, "Take him away quickly!"

"Sorry, Stuart, I'm cheering for you too!" Hermione certainly wouldn't miss it, "Hurry up, she's leaving!"

"Damn..." Stewart cursed secretly, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted his robe again before he mustered up the courage to walk towards the group of girls not far away in the corridor.

Not long after, I saw him making a V sign behind me...

"awesome!"

"Nice job!"

Ike and the others cheered loudly, and Michael whistled.

Of course, the consequence of his doing this was that Stewart chased him down the entire corridor.

"You already knew this, Ike." Hermione, who was leaning on the railing, asked Ike next to her as she watched the chasing and quarrelsome people.

"what?"

"Don't play dumb." Hermione held out her sinful little hand, "You know what I'm talking about."

"Don't pinch, don't pinch, don't pinch..." Ike quickly begged for mercy, "Yes, I know, it's not a secret."

"Hmph." Hermione took back her hand, "For the sake of the dress, I'll forgive you this time."

"Thank you so much..."

The two played around for a while and then walked outside the castle together.On the way, Hermione kept talking about those two guys, Harry and Ron, and they had been rejected by countless people.

"A Hufflepuff girl made an invitation to Harry, but that guy refused without thinking and ran away!" Hermione complained, "And just yesterday, two more The girl came to invite him, but who would have thought that he refused again."

"I really don't know who he wants to be his female companion."

"This... I probably know a little bit about it." Ike leaned his head over and whispered, "Do you still remember the seeker of our college Quidditch team? Haven't you noticed that every time Autumn appears, Harry Will it always become unnatural?"

"Qiu?" Hermione recalled for a moment before remembering who Qiu was.

"Then why didn't he invite Qiu?"

"It's too late, Hermione." Ike said with a bad smile, "Cedric invited Qiu a few days ago, and Qiu has already agreed."

"Moreover, it seems that they are not just dance partners..."

Just as he was talking, a person suddenly stopped in front of him, but it was Krum.Seeing this, Hermione frowned unconsciously.

"Hello, Strider." Krum said hello to Ike with a smile on his face and looked at Hermione aside, "Miss Granger, can I borrow a moment of your time?"

"Is something wrong? You can say it right here." Hermione replied.

After looking at Ike who looked like he was watching the fun, Krum said: "Miss Granger, can you be my partner at the Yule Ball?"

"Sorry, Krum." Before Hermione could speak, Ike stood directly in front of Hermione and said, "Hermione is my dance partner."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Then he noticed the hands held by the two of them, and Klum said quickly, "I...I didn't know you..."

"terribly sorry."

After Krum left, Hermione said angrily: "How could he think I would agree? Every time in the library, he and his group of admirers always make a lot of noise!"

"Not even Mrs. Pince!"

"Don't be angry, Hermione." Ike advised, "After all, he is a talented seeker who shined in the World Cup, and many people are his fans."

After a while of persuasion, Hermione finally calmed down a little.This was already not easy, after all, one of Hermione's pet peeves was when someone made all kinds of noise next to her while she was reading in the library.

Harry and Ron didn't know how many times she had said this to them.

"By the way, Ike, do you know the secret of the golden egg?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"It won't be until February next year Hermione, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"So... you know it, right?" Staring at his expression, Hermione directly exposed Ike's disguise.

Seeing Ike nodded helplessly, Hermione said happily: "I knew it! Tell me, tell me, what is the second project?"

After looking around and seeing no one around, Ike called Hermione to come over.

"The second project is... I won't tell you!"

"Ike Strider!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Ike dodged Hermione's attacks one after another, grabbed her hand while she was not paying attention, pulled her closer and whispered, "There is a reason why I don't tell you, because you will also be involved."

"I will also participate?" Hermione looked like you guess I believe it or not, while Ike spread his hands and looked like I'm not lying.

"Don't worry, I feel much safer this time than the first project. No one will be in danger."

"Then...how did you unlock the secret of the golden egg?"

Ike looked at Hermione thoughtfully, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Harry doesn't have a clue."

"Him? He's not even in a hurry." Hermione suddenly became angry, "I dare say that he is the only one who still doesn't know what the second project is!"

"That's about right..." Ike said with a smile, then leaned his head over and whispered in Hermione's ear.

"Go back and tell Harry to take the golden egg with him when he takes a bath."

"That's a great bath toy."
