Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The peaceful life at Hogwarts makes time go by very quickly. It seems that the Quidditch match with Slytherin was not long ago, but in fact, Hagrid has already moved the twelve Christmas trees that are required every year in the auditorium. .

The railings of the stairs and corridors were wrapped with holly and gold leaf, candles flickered in the armor's helmets, and at regular intervals, large bunches of mistletoe hung there.From the day they were put up, Hogwarts lovers have always been seen standing

Of course, the most common ones were the girls who looked at Harry with cannibalistic eyes.

Everyone wants to taste the lips of the Savior, even if it's through some less than ethical means.

"You have to be careful at night. It's best not to drink drinks that are handed to you by others." In the common room, Hermione held a book and said to the frowning Harry. "Before, I went to the bathroom, and there were many girls there. They are all discussing how to get you to drink the love potion. They all hope to be taken to Slughorn's party by you. You also saw Fred and George's love potion, where they bought it from."

"I remember, isn't that forbidden?" Harry asked puzzledly, "Owls will be inspected, how did they get into the castle? And, why didn't you confiscate them?"

"They didn't bring the potions into the bathroom and hide them in who knows where?" Hermione said, closing the book. "Besides, Fred and George sent them in as perfume and cough drops."

"You know so much." Harry looked a little troubled and sighed.

"Anyway, be careful, there is no magic potion in this world that can remove the intoxicant..."

After Hermione finished speaking, she left. She wanted to prepare clothes for the evening.Slughorn didn't want people attending the party to be dressed too rigidly, so school uniforms were a no-no.However, Hermione had nothing else.

No, there was one, but she didn't want to wear it on such an occasion.

Harry stayed in the common room for a while longer, alone.Not long after the new semester, Ron and Lavender got close. Basically, except when they were in class and copying Hermione's homework, they were together.

As a friend, Harry was very happy for Ron, but to be honest, sometimes he was a little annoyed.

Those two people are really embarrassing sometimes...

Leaving the common room, Harry's mind was still thinking about what Hermione had just said.He was not blind, he could clearly see the way those girls stared at him.He also knew that the only way to reject those troubles was to find a female companion.

Just, who to look for?

The faces of the girls he knew appeared in his mind, but there was only one that made him feel strange, and it was that girl who could not accept his invitation.

"Hi, Harry!"

As he was walking, a voice stopped him.Harry turned around and his eyes lit up.

"Hey Luna, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I just came out of the bathroom." Luna looked at Harry with her empty eyes and tilted her head. Although she didn't say anything, it made Harry cough awkwardly.

"Are you nervous, Harry?" Luna asked.

"Ahem, no... By the way, how have you been this semester? I haven't seen you all this time."

"It's good. I'm a little lonely now that I'm gone, but Ginny is very good. She even stopped two boys from calling me 'crazy girl' a few days ago..." Luna replied, "There's also the atmosphere in the courtyard. It’s very strange, it seems that they have been damaged by the harassing flies.”

"Really..." Harry nodded slightly after hearing this, and at the same time summoned up the courage to ask, "Will you go to Professor Slughorn's party with me tonight?"

"Party? With you?" Luna looked at Harry in surprise, which made Harry very nervous and a little incoherent.

"Yes, we all have to bring guests...maybe, I mean as friends, you know...but what if..."

"No, I'm willing to go with you." Luna smiled happily, "As a friend!"

"Great... um, I mean, meet you in the foyer at eight o'clock in the evening..."

After making an agreement with Luna, Harry felt as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.But obviously, he relaxed too early.He didn't expect Peeves to be hiding next to him when he invited Luna.

So, by the time he got back to the common room, word had basically spread throughout Hogwarts.

Everyone was surprised, including Ron.

"You could have chosen anyone, and I mean anyone!" Ron said in surprise during dinner, "but you chose Luna!"

"I think that's fine," Ginny put in. "I'm glad you took her, Harry."

"Okay, okay, you all go ahead..." Ron said a little sourly, but he became cheerful in an instant, because Lavender and Parvati came in, and the two immediately hugged each other.

As mentioned before, they are very good at making people feel embarrassed, especially Parvati who came in with Lavender.

"Hi, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny." Parvati greeted them, "What are you talking about?"

"Professor Slughorn's party," Hermione said, "Are you going?"

"No one invited me..." Parvati was a little frustrated when she heard this, "I really want to go, it sounds like it would be great..."

"Then you come with me." Hermione immediately extended the invitation, which immediately surprised everyone else.

"Is this...is this appropriate?" It could be seen that Parvati was very happy, but also a little embarrassed.

"There is no requirement for the gender of the guests, is there? What about, do you want to go together?" Hermione looked at Parvati and said.

"Of course, that's great!"

"Then let's go back and prepare now. Time is tight and there are many things to do...First of all, you need a beautiful dress..." With that said, the two of them left the auditorium directly.

When Harry came to the foyer at eight o'clock in the evening, there were many girls gathered here.He faced those resentful and complaining eyes and found Luna. She was wearing a very normal bright silver dress, which was really beyond his expectation.

"Let's go," Harry said.

"Okay!" Luna replied, "By the way, where is the party?"

"Professor Slughorn's office." Harry said, and walked out with Luna despite those uncomfortable looks, "I heard that there are vampires, which is very strange, I thought They all went to Fu...I mean the Dark Lord..."

As they chatted, they walked towards Slughorn's office.As they walked, bursts of laughter and music gradually came to their ears. When they came to the door of the office, the sounds were louder.

Harry knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, and Professor Slughorn's huge belly appeared in front of him for the first time.

"Harry, my child!" He looked very happy and said loudly, "Come in, everyone here can't wait to see you!"

After saying that, he directly put his arm around Harry's shoulders and pulled him into the room without any explanation.
