[HP] A Brief History of Time

Anne is more sensitive to Rita Skeeter's article than anyone can imagine, even if there is only one sentence mentioned about her.After her last herbal class, she announced quite calmly that she had found a fifth-grade boyfriend and had accepted his invitation to the Yule Ball.

"To hell with that damn report!" she said.

Lettice replied with an "oh" very calmly.As soon as Anne walked out of the greenhouse, she immediately climbed onto Virginia's arm, "Professor Sprout announced the Christmas ball last week. She rejected invitations from dozens of boys and finally found a fifth-grade boy." Boyfriend!" She lowered her voice, "Have you finally given up on Cedric? Bernie told me that Qiu Zhang agreed to Cedric's invitation yesterday at the Ravenclaw Tower."

"Isn't that good?" Virginia was lowering her head to pack her things, and said without hesitation, "If she can decide to forget about Cedric completely because of this, we have to congratulate her. To be honest, I looked at the way she looked at Cedric, and I felt that she was in a difficult situation and it was unbearable."

"Speaking of the prom, is your dress ready?" Lettice walked out of the greenhouse with her, shivering from the cold wind outside, "I don't really like the one my mother stuffed into my suitcase before school started." , pink, cake skirt, big bow, I still feel like a six-year-old girl. But Bernie's one is very handsome, it is matte blue, I really hope to go to Hogsmoor this Saturday De, be able to find a dress that matches him."

"If you don't mind, tell me your measurements. My dress hasn't arrived yet," Virginia said. "I can ask Mom to send you one too."

"Really? Thank you so much! Can I send a photo of Bernie's dress?"

"Well, give it to me tonight. I'm afraid I won't have time to order it before the ball, but I think Aunt Hermione must have a way."

Lettice let out a squeal of happiness.

They had already entered the castle from the path, and were stopped by several Armstrong boys, one of them was a blond boy wearing a pair of moccasin boots and a big red waistcoat. In front of Nia, "Miss Crackenthorpe, would you like to go to the ball with me?" Before Virginia could speak, he quickly added, "I am taller than Harry Potter, and you It looks better together."

Virginia looked at him in astonishment.

The boy Armstrong was caught by Virginia's charming eyes, and his face flushed immediately. He nervously shifted his focus and stared at her lips again. This closer look made him even more nervous, and he quickly moved his eyes. Hanging down, he only dared to stare at the black leather shoes on Virginia's feet.

"Sorry……"

"Hey—Warner, in addition to reading books, you should also listen to the school news." Draco walked over with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand wrapped around Virginia's shoulders. "She is My un-girl."

Both of them were wearing shirts and vests, and their trousers were tucked into high boots, but it was too easy to compete.The shy and introverted Werner was no match for the jaw-dropping Draco.

"I'm sorry—Warner," Virginia said to Werner, who was clearly frustrated. "You're too tall, but Malfoy is just right."

Draco's face turned blue immediately, and he hated himself for calling out Werner's name. The distant address in Virginia's words immediately turned his previous words into a joke.But fortunately, compared with his previous life, he has a thick skin, and he still half embraces Virginia in his arms, supporting the victor until Werner turns around and walks away.

"What? Am I wrong?" After Werner and his companion walked away in frustration, Virginia twisted her shoulders and unceremoniously shook off Draco's hand, "You want to Let me promise to be your ballmate, you're still dreaming of Alanaska!"

Lettice was almost dying of laughter, knowing very experienced that they might have a flirtatious quarrel, so he immediately said winkingly, and went to find Bernie Ask for his dress photo.

Draco pulled her aside, the hand that had been in the pocket was pulled out, he slowly opened his clenched fist, and a bright red rose slowly bloomed from the bud in the palm of his hand Inside, a pair of small translucent magic diamond stud earrings lay on the fully opened flower core. At the same time, he said aggrievedly, "Why didn't I prepare? I have confidence in you, just like you have confidence in me—— We'll just be each other. But who is Alanaska?"

Virginia made a look of being unbearable, turned her chin very proudly, and did not answer his question.

But Draco saw a palpable smile in her clear gray eyes.

"My dear Miss Carrackenthorpe, will you come to the Yule Ball with me?"

Draco waited patiently for a minute before Virginia's condescending drawl.She spread her hands and said, "Bring it!"

On her middle finger, the snake-shaped ring was shimmering.Draco smiled and put the blooming rose in her palm.He bowed his head and sneaked a kiss on her ear very lightly, "I'll see you at dinner."

However, at dinner, Draco did not meet Virginia as he wished.Because she was standing in the Hogwarts kitchen with Hermione.She had offered to ask her questions after Harry's first match, but it took two weeks before Hermione wrote to her and asked her to meet in the kitchen.

She looked a little depressed, sitting on a high stool in the kitchen, lying on the table and writing and drawing.There was a lot of food in front of her, and the house-elf named Dobby was obviously very fond of her.

"What's wrong?" Virginia also climbed onto the stool.

"It's nothing." She straightened up, opened a box and pushed it to Virginia. It was full of round badges. "Choose a color you like."

"SPEW?" Virginia smiled, "Is this why you've been busy recently? When I went to Gryffindor to find you, I heard Ginny say, two silver Sickles?"

"Ah."

After paying the money, Dobby was obviously more enthusiastic. He directly took a large beer mug, poured a full cup of milk tea and placed it in front of Virginia.

"I just want to ask, who came up with the way Harry did in the first game?"

"What do you mean?" Hermione was taken aback.

"I mean it's a really good idea."

"He figured it out by himself, two days before the game," Hermione said indifferently, "I'm not surprised he would think of this way, after all, he is best at Quidditch. Our Hardly slept for two days and practiced this spell."

Virginia interjected, "I wish I could have remembered sooner." She asked thoughtfully, "Any ideas about Harry's second project?"

Hermione shook her head, "He said it was still early," her tone became resentful at this point, "a hateful person has been inviting him to play checkers!"

Virginia failed to ask more information about Harry, and Hermione's emotions were all focused on the hateful Ron.She listened to her complaints absently, but her mind went round and round to filter suspicious characters around Harry - clueless.

The Christmas holidays are here.

Virginia and Lettice's dresses arrived the night before Christmas with Christmas presents.Lettice couldn't wait to open the gift bag, and her sense of happiness was immediately filled by the pearly white tube top dress inside.The hem of the dress was short at the front and long at the back. According to the dressing instructions attached to the package, Virginia cast magic on the skirt. It took an hour until the hem slowly puffed up like it was alive and full of air. The blue embroidery is in the shape of an inverted umbrella, and the blue embroidery is shining faintly. The palm-wide blue silk belt around the waist is wrapped around Lettis's waist and tied into a big bow, and two strands of ribbon are floating down.

"It's also a big skirt with a bow, but how can it be so beautiful!" Lettice didn't dare to sit down, and didn't dare to jump on others happily, standing there laughing like a fool, for fear of getting wrinkled The dress he finally put on, "Bernie even asked me to take a photo for him, but I decided not to. I want to give him a surprise!"

Until the next day, Lettis did not recover from the excitement.So from three o'clock in the afternoon, Virginia was pulled back to the bedroom by her to prepare for the evening dance.

Virginia sat on the bed and watched as she babbled and walked around the dormitory.She unwrapped a large pile of Christmas presents and sorted them into various places.Alona's gift was a black and red checked knitted hat, and a large box of pea pies that Virginia had been thinking about for a long time-she said in the letter that Virginia didn't have to go to London to taste, because She spent a lot of money to buy back the old lady's secret recipe.Mrs. Zabini gave Virginia the first pair of high heels in her life, which matched her dress.Draco sent a soft and beautiful pillow, smelling of lavender, and a bottle of perfume from Mrs. Malfoy.Brace was rather dumbfounded by a floral shirt—Virginia swore she would never wear it.

Virginia digs through a crowd of familiar people and finds a package that surprises her, a Christmas present from Dolphin.A large box of Egyptian chocolates.She hesitated, dismissing the idea of ​​writing a thank you letter or sending another Christmas present.However, seeing that the address for sending the letter was still far away in Egypt, Virginia sincerely hoped that he could stay there for a while longer.

Lettice had already come out of the bathroom, and when she saw Virginia still sitting cross-legged on the bed, wearing a loose silver-gray sweater, she immediately raised her eyebrows, "You don't know how long it takes girls to dress up?" ?” She jerked Virginia off the bed and wheeled her into the bathroom.
