Chapter 10 The Christmas Chapter Ball

Ever since Ron told Harry that he wanted to confess his love to Hermione for Christmas, Harry began to consciously give space to Ron. His red-haired little friend is sometimes not very confident and brave, so give him more time to be alone Maybe he won't look so clumsy.Harry had always partnered with Ron in Potions before, and Harry asked Ron to partner with Hermione, so he had to be with Neville.Harry didn't dare let Neville touch the cauldron, so he let him handle the potion ingredients for him.However, it was obvious that Neville couldn't keep up with the processing of the materials, so Harry could only let him look at the cauldron.

"Harry, are you adding this then?" Neville said, throwing the yuba into the cauldron.Harry hadn't had time to stop it, but fortunately there was no explosion.Harry didn't know what would happen. He watched a pot of potion gurgling and bubbling crazily. Obviously Harry didn't increase the firepower, the volume of potion suddenly became larger and gradually overflowed the cauldron.

Snape noticed this and asked, "Longbottom! What did you do again?"

Neville still maintained the motion of throwing the eucalyptus into the cauldron, he said nervously, "I don't know, sir."

"Professor, we tossed in the codweed," said Harry.

"Damn Longbottom, damn Potter." Snape cursed them in a low voice. He took out his wand and cast a spell on the cauldron in front of them, and the potion stopped growing rapidly.Snape said: "Ten deducted from Gryffindor, Longbottom and Potter stayed to clean up the Potions classroom after class. By the way, your grade for this class is 0."

Neville whispered in a helpless tone, "But I'm going to Professor Sprout after class."

Harry said, "It's okay, I'll clean it up by myself."

"Thank you, Harry."

Neville left in a hurry after class, and Ron and Hermione asked Harry, "Do you need our help?"

Snape, who had already left, turned back suddenly, and Ron and Hermione had to leave first.

Harry was left to clean up the Potions classroom by himself.Snape took back what he had left in the Potions classroom but did not leave immediately. He sat by the podium and watched Harry work.Harry could feel Snape's aggressive gaze resting on him.

Harry and Snape didn't exchange a word, and remained silent until Harry cleaned up the classroom.Harry looked at the ground and said, "Professor, please allow me to leave first."

Watching Harry leaving in a hurry, Snape walked out of the Potions classroom, thoughtful.

At the end of Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall announced about the Yule Ball, and Harry felt such a headache that he asked Professor McGonagall if he could take time off. He thought he would have a stomachache on the day of the dance.

Professor McGonagall berated Harry severely for a long time.

Ron said, "Just wait and see, there's going to be a lot of girls lined up for you to invite them to the ball."

Harry said, "I don't want to go to the dance—"

Ron interrupted him: "Come on, you just wait."

For this, Harry was very troubled.Wherever he went, a group of girls greeted him, and Harry had to cheer up to respond to them.Ron asked him, "Have you decided who to invite?"

Harry said impatiently: "Don't keep asking me who to invite just because you already have a dance partner. This is already the sixth time you have asked me today."

"Well, I'm just very curious."

"I think you might as well go to the library with Hermione."

"Oh, no, I don't want to be dragged by her to read the book. Most of our courses have become easy. I guess, except for the perverted Professor Snape, no one will give the quiz at this time."

Harry said silently in his heart, "That's the truth."

However, within a few days, Harry was living the life of going out early and returning late in the library with Hermione - in order to get rid of the girl who secretly smiled at him all day long.

Hermione said: "I'm glad to see you are so interested in studying." Hermione was concerned about Harry's second project, and she asked, "I think you already know the content of the second project?"

Harry said, "I've figured it out."

Hermione nodded in relief and continued with her paper.

As Christmas approached, Ron learned that Harry hadn't found a partner for the Christmas ball. He opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "Harry, as a warrior, you have to do the opening dance."

Hermione was also very surprised, she said: "I thought you were studying in the library so leisurely every day because you have already found a suitable dance partner."

"Oh, Merlin, I really want to spend Christmas with Sirius," said Harry, devastated. "Maybe I should go out on my fire/crossbow/arrow and fly around a few times and throw myself off the sky so I can No need to go to the dance."

Hermione said sympathetically: "You mustn't think that way, as long as you have breath, Madam Pomfrey can make you alive and kicking before the ball."

"Look, boy, do you want to ask Myrtle to dance with you?" Fred said in Harry's left ear.

"Believe me, Myrtle was never invited," George said into Harry's right ear.

Harry said seriously, "I'll think about it."

They said in unison: "That's a really good idea—Fred (George)."

"That's not a good idea!" said Ron, chasing his twin brother away, "You've got to fight!"

Harry dismissed it, saying, "I have to prepare for Snape's class quiz."

During Snape's class quiz, as soon as Harry handed in the antidote, Ron and Hermione kept chattering for Harry to find his dance partner quickly.Snape said grimly behind them, "Assuming the class isn't over yet - ten points from Gryffindor for blatantly whispering in class."

Ron said: "Professor, you said that after the antidote is handed in, you can leave get out of class on your own."

"Then please leave." Snape said tactfully, "Mr. Potter, I hope you can find your dance partner sooner. You must know that warriors need to lead the opening dance. I don't think you want to lose your partner in front of other schools." The face of Hogwarts." Snape almost finished speaking through gritted teeth.

"Of course I won't disgrace Hogwarts!" said Harry.

However, until the day before the Christmas ball, Harry still did not find his partner.Ron said hesitantly, "Ginny wanted to go to the ball too, but she turned down Neville."

Harry said in surprise, "What?"

"I mean, you can invite Ginny, she will definitely say yes to you."

Harry subconsciously wanted to refuse, he couldn't hurt Ginny any more.

Ron saw his hesitation and said angrily, "If you don't like my sister..."

Harry said quickly, "I just thought of what you said before, Ginny can't do it."

Ron said awkwardly, "I just thought you didn't have a date yet, and I'll tell Ginny you don't think anything of her. She's been begging me for a long time."

Harry said, "I'll invite Ginny, thank you, Ron."

On Christmas morning, Harry was awakened by Dobby.He remembered that Dobby would come to give him Christmas presents, so he prepared the presents early. He bought Dobby a red and gold woolen hat, and Harry said, "So you are an elf in Gryffindor."

Dobby wept violently: "Sir, you are—very kind—"

Dobby gave Harry the wool socks he knitted himself, and Harry looked very happy: "Thank you, Dobby, this is really wonderful!"

"Glad you liked it! Dobby has to go, sir." Dobby waved goodbye to Harry with tears in his eyes again.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to the hall for breakfast and then returned to the dormitory to unwrap presents.Harry loved the spare wand Sirius had given him.He wrote in the letter: "Hide it quietly, Harry, I think you can use it before the trace disappears. Maybe it's not very easy to use. Merry Christmas, I'm sorry I can't spend Christmas with you inside, I Remus and Remus will travel to Belgium, remember to miss us." Harry used his spare wand to cast a small magic, and it didn't feel bad.

Harry hadn't expected to receive Snape's Christmas present—Harry had also sent Snape a Christmas present, and even though he was still angry with Snape, he remembered that he had given presents last year, and this year You can't be absent from work either.

Harry opened the package, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a bottle of Felicia!There is also a greeting card in the gift box——

"Merry Christmas, Harry. Hope you can use it for the last project.

Yours, Severus. "

Harry murmured, "Your, Severus." He blushed slightly, thinking that he might have written it by hand, after all, it was the habit of writing letters.

The dance started at seven o'clock, and the boys got dressed early. Ron asked nervously, "Harry, do I really look right?"

"You look perfect," Harry said.

Ron was really nervous, and he even borrowed Harry's perfume and sprayed himself with it.Harry kept reassuring him, and Harry silently prayed that he wouldn't just stay where he was when he saw Hermione later.

"Where's Hermione, why haven't you seen her yet?" Ron saw Hermione coming down the stairs as soon as he finished speaking.Ron said in surprise, "Is this her? This is Hermione."

Hermione looked at Ron and smiled shyly, her eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

Harry watched his two friends giggle from the sidelines.

"Hey, Harry." Ginny came too.

Harry asked Ginny to take his arm and complimented, "Ginny, you look beautiful today."

Ginny hung her head shyly.

Professor McGonagall urged the warrior: "Please go this way."

They lined up to enter.Harry sensed that Ginny was happy, her eyes sparkling like Hermione's, and Harry avoided her gaze, dancing with Ginny from a polite distance.Harry noticed that Snape was staring at him, which made him very uncomfortable, but the dance was over quickly.Harry and Ginny backed off the dance floor, and he said, "Shall we sit down for a while?"

They sat down at the table.

Percy frowned at Ginny and said, "Ginny?"

Harry said immediately, "I invited her to the ball."

"Oh." Percy quickly moved on to another topic - his promotion.

Harry listened absently to Percy's speech, concentrating on addressing the food that kept popping up on his plate.By the time Percy left, Harry was a bit overwhelmed.Ginny watched Harry curiously as she dragged Harry around the Great Hall.The Weird Sisters perform onstage, and Ginny asks Harry, "Shall we go dancing?"

Harry said, "Shall we walk around for a while, I'm so stuffed."

Ginny readily accepted.

Ginny stopped suddenly, and she said shyly, "Harry, it's mistletoe."

Harry looked up to see a sprig of mistletoe hanging over their heads.Harry made a troubled expression.

He saw Ron approaching them aggressively: "Ginny, come with me." Ron grabbed Ginny.

Ginny shook his hand away angrily, and said, "Ron, you can't do this! How did you manage to be sweet with Hermione and still notice me!" Ginny was still taken away by Ron.

Harry looked at Hermione who was standing aside, and she smiled helplessly, "Let him go."

Ron came back soon, and he seemed to have had an argument with Ginny, Ron said out of breath, "I'm sorry, but I don't think you mind, I told Ginny, you just put her As a sister."

"Oh, yes." Harry said awkwardly.

Ron led Hermione back to the dance floor.

Harry was about to go back to the dormitory alone, when a small girl with short hair stood in front of him, "Can you invite me to a dance?" She almost buried her face in her neckline, and Harry saw her ears turn red.Harry didn't know how to refuse, looking around helplessly, he saw Snape walking towards him.

"Mr Potter—"

Without looking up, she ran away in panic.

"—sorry for interrupting your date," said Snape in his obnoxious drawl.

It was only then that Harry realized that Snape was not wearing his wizard robes, and had put on a well-tailored gown instead.It turned out that Snape was in such a good figure, Harry's eyes widened in surprise.He also doesn't look as greasy as usual today.Harry said incoherently, "Professor, you didn't brew any potion today, did you?"

Snape pursed his lips into a line, looking displeased.Harry realized what he had said, and he said, "I'm sorry, sir, for my bluntness. I'm going back to my dormitory first."

He walked around Snape, and was grabbed by Snape. Because of inertia, he leaned against Snape's body, and he quickly stabilized his body and moved away from Snape.Before Snape let go of Harry's hand, he bent down slightly and looked at Harry. Harry raised his head suspiciously and met Snape's deep gaze, almost suffocating.Snape bowed his head and kissed Harry, Harry was like a drowning man who suddenly took a breath of air when he couldn't breathe, he held Snape's hand behind his back, sucking more from Snape's mouth, he floated in the water, Clinging to the only hope of survival, refusing to let go.

When Snape and Harry parted, Harry saw that Snape's lips were red and swollen from his kiss, and Harry couldn't believe what had just happened."What an enthusiastic Gryffindor," said Snape.

Harry blushed. He didn't think it was a good compliment.

"Professor, I..." Snape straightened up, Harry noticed the mistletoe on top of his head, he paused and asked in surprise, "Is it mistletoe?"

"Potter, you haven't been oblivious to the fact that you've been standing under the mistletoe."

Harry's flushed face lost its color in an instant: "Oh, yes, sir." Harry was glad that no one noticed Snape and him in the corner.

Harry knocked Snape away in a gaffe and walked out of the auditorium.

Snape glared at Harry, bloody Potter, he didn't think I kissed him because of the mistletoe.After all, Snape didn't stop Harry from letting him go.

Harry was too impressed with Snape's "Always". Perhaps he had sensed Snape's concern for him long ago, but he always silently denied his thoughts in his heart.And before he understood Snape's feelings for him, he finally realized his gradually deteriorating feelings for Snape.
