Chapter 32: Inviting to invite a dance partner

However, before facing the elusive opponent, Harry, oh, not only Harry, but all Hogwarts fourth grades and above need to consider one very important thing-the Yule Ball partner.

"But Professor McGonagall, I can't dance yet..." Harry was still holding the fake cod with its head cut off in his hands behind his back, and he noticed that Professor McGonagall's expression became more serious.

"Warriors must have a partner, and you will be responsible for the opening dance of the entire Christmas ball! This is the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament!" Professor McGonagall shook his head as if he hated iron, and his eyes fell on Wes, who was sneaking around the door. Lai. "If you don't know it, go learn it, and you are all in the fourth grade, why are you still playing with fake wands in class..."

"Professor McGonagall, do all warriors need to find a dance partner?" Seeing that she seemed to continue talking, Harry hurriedly asked his most concerned question, "I mean, is it possible for warriors to... ?”

It was also rare for Professor McGonagall to see Potter actually get enlightened, and she took it for granted that Harry said "among the warriors" was referring to the two girls from Beauxbatons. Her face relaxed a little, and hinted implicitly: "Of course, warriors can invite each other, as long as you confirm that you are all leading the dance. Cough, since you have a goal, act as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted by others."

"Okay, Professor McGonagall, I'll go ahead and practice my dance!" Harry said goodbye to the Transfiguration professor beamingly, and ran out of the classroom quickly, dragging his fake cod.

"Young man..." Professor McGonagall had an imperceptible smile on her face, and packed her teaching aids.

Outside the door, Ron watched in wonder as Harry ran out happily, "Man, are you okay? Why are you laughing like this after being scolded?"

"I couldn't be better! Ron, help me take my schoolbag back, I'm off to court my dance partner—"

Ron blankly took the schoolbag thrown by Harry: "...Pursuit?"

Harry, who had memorized Triton's schedule, remembered that the fourth-year Slytherins should have just finished herbalism, and it would take some time to walk from the greenhouse to the castle. He had better go to the gate of the castle and wait for the rabbit.

It’s been a while since get out of class ended, and there were only a few students in the corridor slowly walking and reading with their books in their hands (probably either fifth grade or seventh grade), Harry hurried on, and when he came to the gate, he happened to see a group of students Slytherins and Ravenclaws came across the grass.

"Hey! Triton!" Harry waved his hand, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, Triton turned his head.

Brave Gryffin for many years pulled Triton aside under the curious eyes of the other two houses.

In fact, when it was time to speak, Harry felt that his courage seemed to have leaked out when he ran all the way just now, and now his heart was beating vigorously—it seemed to be beating a little too fast—haha Leigh took a deep breath, "You, do you know that this year's Christmas ball, the warriors need to dance the opening dance?"

"The opening dance?" Triton took out a handkerchief and handed it to Harry to wipe his sweat. He didn't know how long he had run, and he was still sweating profusely in this cold winter. "Severus hasn't informed us yet, will everyone stay at school?"

"Only, only students above the fourth grade can participate, unless the students in the lower grades are invited..." Harry wiped his hands on his pants nervously, Fred and George made the fake wand too realistic I always feel that there is still a fishy smell on my hands.He stared at the boy who was nearly a head and a half shorter than himself, swallowed dryly, and stretched out his right hand in front of him, "I just want to say, Triton, would you, would you like to follow me?" Me to the Christmas ball?"

"Oh...Harry..." Triton looked at the serious but tense boy in front of him, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "Are you sure you want to invite me instead of a girl?"

"If my dance partner wasn't you, I would never go to that ball, even if they disqualify me from the competition!" Harry said solemnly, "And I also asked Professor McGonagall, can warriors and warriors Inviting each other, she also gave me an affirmative answer—that is, now, it depends on whether you want to... be my dance partner and dance with me?"

Harry's right hand was always placed in front of Triton. In the cold wind, Triton could even see beads of sweat dripping from his reddish hand.

Triton blinked, and put his hand into Harry's happily: "Of course."

When he first saw the extra little hand in his hand, Harry still couldn't believe it, until he tentatively clenched the little sea mermaid's hand, happily hugged Triton into his arms and said incoherently , "I'm so, thank you dear, so happy...thank you..."

"However, it's up to you to dance." Triton felt very warm being stuffed in Harry's arms, although he was not afraid of the cold.

Harry naturally agreed, as long as he got the person first, the dance steps and so on can be discussed, after all, he can't dance anything yet. "If it wasn't for worrying that that pervasive woman would be peeping around here, Triton, I'd like to..."

Triton tilted his head uncomfortably to avoid Harry's finger on his lips, "Who is peeping?"

"Rita Skeeter." Harry didn't force Triton, but just hugged him back to the castle, and it happened that he knew a secret passage to get back to the cellar faster, "We suspect that she might be someone who can become The Animagus of the beetle is trying to lure her out and catch her... What the Daily Prophet said last time was all made up by her, Triton, you must not believe her lies! In my heart Only you, I am sincere to you!"

Triton raised the corner of his mouth, he knew very well who the "mysterious heroine who kissed passionately with the savior in the warrior's waiting tent" in the newspaper was, but he still found it quite interesting to see Harry so nervous, He deliberately ignored his words, "She knows Animagi? It's really surprising. I always thought that Animagi magic requires a very high level of magical talent to practice."

"I, I'm learning too! Sirius is teaching me!" Harry mistakenly thought that Triton was interested in Animagi magic, completely forgetting that his original intention of learning Animagi magic was to give him a surprise , Inadvertently exposed himself, "I will be transformed under his guidance during the summer vacation—"

"Are you learning Animagi?" Triton asked a little annoyed, "Why don't I know? How long have you been learning?"

"I... only came into contact with Animaji magic when I knew that Marshal Hei was Sirius." Harry replied honestly.

Triton didn't speak for a long while, Harry thought he was angry because he was hiding something from him, and kept secretly looking at the little sea mermaid's expression anxiously.

It wasn't until the secret passage was about to come to an end that Triton sighed quietly, "I know that Draco has been receiving the guidance of Mr. Malfoy since last year, and has been receiving special training in order to take on the heavy responsibility of the heir of the family. In many cases where Slytherin did not participate, I was not surprised that he was selected as a warrior in a fourth year, because the rewards are usually linked to sweat, hard work, and talent."

"I always thought that you were selected by the Goblet of Fire because of your talent, but now it seems that a talented person cannot succeed without hard work."

Maybe Harry doesn't know Triton well enough, because he doesn't know why Triton said such a thing, but not knowing doesn't mean he can't express his heart.

The secret passage was somewhat dim, and with Harry's eyesight, he could only see Triton's blurry outline. He lowered his head, and restrainedly touched the little sea mermaid's warm lips lightly, "It's all because of you... I want to let you I will catch up with you and surpass you, so that I can be stronger than you when you are strong enough, so that you can stay behind me with peace of mind."

"You are a sea mermaid. Your eyesight, hearing, and ear are much stronger than mine. These are talents that I can't catch up with no matter how hard I try. But when I discovered that you also have weaknesses, Triton, you didn't know that at that time How happy I am... You study well, you don't need to spend all day in the library like Hermione, and you can get No.1 in every exam, but you are No.1, but you are not good at actual combat; although you The five senses are keen, but you have little strength. You are often confused and easily injured, and your body is prone to stasis. Every time I find that you are injured when I can't see it, I feel distressed and must protect you. determination, but also a secret complacency..."

Triton, who was listening quietly, raised his head from his chest in dissatisfaction, and patted Harry on the back warningly, "Just because I'm weak now doesn't mean I'll be weak in the future! I'm not yet an adult! Besides, I'm injured Are you still in the mood to be proud?"

Harry comfortingly kissed the lips of the little sea mermaid, but this time he didn't hold back and just tasted it as before, but dazzled Triton's kiss from inside to outside, and then he was about to be punished. The self who was on the verge of losing control forcefully pulled back, pressed against Triton's sensitive ear and continued: "...Of course I will feel proud, because no one else can protect you except by my side, only I can... as long as You are safe, it doesn't matter even if I die... the fluorescent light flashes."

Harry had to let go of his arms, and floated his wand above them with a Levitation Charm, illuminating the square inch they were in.His emerald green eyes stared at Triton without blinking, not letting go of any slight expression on the other's face.

"When I got the golden egg that day, I wanted to ask, is it because of this that I can breathe underwater..." Harry lightly touched the bewitching red mark under Triton's left eyelid, and then held his hand. He rolled up his sleeve and slowly lifted it up, "Before, you became strange, but you always wanted to see my arm. Do you doubt that I will not have it...?"

The sleeves of the sweater were rolled up to the elbows, and tiny goosebumps appeared on the skin that first came into contact with the cold air, but Triton could clearly see the torn scar on Harry's arm with a A small fishtail figure with a bright red body that looks very familiar.

There seemed to be something hidden in the body for a long time running around the limbs and heart. Triton resisted the discomfort in his body and wanted to reach out and touch the small statue on Harry's arm to find out. The red mark, the restless unknown object in the body can no longer be suppressed like turning on a switch, coughing up a mouthful of brown unknown liquid.

"Triton!"

The author has something to say: Wow~ Yesterday I went to see Ant-Man’s final easter egg and I was really drunk. If there were only the two of us, we would definitely not be able to wait until the end QAQ

I would like to ask everyone, what...cough, what grade do you think it would be better for us to finish this?
