struggle

As the tempo of the Weird Sisters' song became faster and faster, the atmosphere of the audience became more and more enthusiastic. More and more people came to the dance floor, and even Crouch joined Umbridge in his arms.However, his face is still very serious, accompanied by stiff movements, almost like walking instead of dancing.As for Umbridge, she seemed to be smiling more and more like a little girl, but her eyes kept moving between Dumbledore and Harry, following their whereabouts.Seeing this situation, Ginny consciously steered Harry in the direction, while covering Umbridge's sight with her body, trying to turn to a place she couldn't see.

When a high tremolo was played on the stage, the lead singer soared to a high note, and then screamed excitedly: "ChangePartners! (exchange partners)".At this time, Ginny was carefully observing the expressions of everyone on the dance floor, trying to find out the suspicious person, but she was pulled over skillfully and irresistibly by a pair of hands, and fell into a familiar embrace.At the same time, Tom immediately led her around and slid away from Harry in rhythm.Ginny looked up at him angrily, but she looked into a pair of dark eyes. He seemed to be in a good mood, lowered his head slightly, and approached her ear with a smile: "Ginny, be careful not to appear too stiff, Too surprised expression. It's just a simple exchange of dance partners, you don't want your savior to find out that we are very familiar, right?"

Following his gaze, Ginny found that Harry over there seemed to be looking at them in a puzzled manner, with slight anger towards Tom and concern for her.However, the girl who was exchanged to him seemed to be full of excitement and disbelief, and dragged him around in circles to the music, making him unable to get away for a while.

Ginny turned her head and looked at him warily: "What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything." Tom led her around, intentionally or unintentionally getting farther and farther away from where Harry was, "You said you were not going to like me anymore, I was just helping you to strengthen your confidence. Avoiding blindly It can't solve the problem, if you don't dare to face me, doesn't it just mean that you can't forget me? So, I'm just trying to make you have the courage to face me. "

"You..." Ginny glared at him, but was finally speechless.Ever since he calculated and drank the Veritaserum, which made her understand her feelings and let him confirm her feelings for him, she felt a bit at a disadvantage.Even though she immediately and firmly declared that she would draw a clear line with him, she still gave him an edge and made her feel a little passive and embarrassed when facing him.

In the music, Ginny could only temporarily dance along with him, and at the same time tried her best to distance herself from him, frowning as she waited for the end of the song.Seeing her eager to escape, Tom's eyes flashed an ambiguous look, he suddenly lowered his head, and leaned closer to Ginny's ear: "Ginny, do you have any clues about the person sent by the main soul? Do you need me?" Give you a hint?"

"What do you mean?" Ginny didn't believe that he would suddenly change his mind, and was willing to tell her the real situation.However, Tom still looked at her innocently: "I just want to tell you a little information to help you get closer to the truth of what you want to check."

Ginny didn't answer him at all, nor did she rush to ask, but just looked at him steadily.Seeing Ginny's expression, Tom suddenly evoked an amused smile: "Actually, you did guess part of it correctly. It is a magic device about time that can make dragon eggs hatch earlier, and that magic device, Only in the Ministry of Magic, in the entire wizarding world, there is only such a unique one."

Sure enough, it was the thing she guessed, so it seems that the person sent by the main soul should have the opportunity to get close to the time device of the Ministry of Magic, and it is basically one of the few people in the Ministry of Magic.Ginny checked the current few people, but was disappointed to find that during the few days of the competition, they didn't live in Hogwarts for several nights, so she didn't even have the chance to compare with the Marauder's Map .And in the daytime competition, there are too many people mixed in the competition field, it is difficult to see clearly among the densely packed small dots representing names on the Marauder's Map, which is really tricky.

Ginny couldn't help but fell into her own thoughts, while the man was somewhat mechanically driven by Tom, walking around in circles.Satisfied that her attention had been diverted from Harry, Tom said nothing, just led her to dance to the music.Gradually, the music slowed down from a fast tempo, bringing out a hint of ambiguous tenderness, and as the music became soothing, the light became increasingly dimmer.Most of the professors smiled and quietly exited the dance floor, leaving this open space to the students. At the same time, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more charming.

In the dim light, Tom looked at Ginny's pensive expression, and suddenly tightened the arm around her waist, making her almost close to him, and at the same time his hand slowly touched Ginny's breast. Back, slid gently, and said in a soft and ambiguous voice: "Ginny, do you really think you can forget me?" The provocative method made Ben feel a little distracted because he tried to string everything together. Ginny trembled unconsciously, and looked up into his bewitching eyes.

Under the dim light, Tom's handsome face became more mysterious and bewitching, with a slight evil spirit.An inexplicable look flashed across Ginny's eyes, and she slowly hooked his neck, closing the distance to him, as if falling into his temptation, and whispered softly: "Of course I won't forget..."

The lights were completely dimmed at this moment, and the couples around took advantage of this moment of sudden darkness, lingering on each other's lips and teeth.And Tom also slowly leaned forward, following Ginny's catering, and leaned forward.However, when they were so close to each other that they could almost feel each other's breath, Ginny suddenly added a sentence: "It's strange if you can't forget!" Then she bit the corner of his mouth and pulled out her wand. Then he threw a petrification curse.

After a while, the lights turned on again, and the sound of the music became passionate and fast again.The Weird Sisters laughed tacitly, glanced at the flush-faced students on the dance floor, and shouted: "MerryChristmas! (Merry Christmas)", and then played the last round of music on the instruments, ending tonight's The first □.

All the students left the dance floor and went to find their seats to rest.And Tom looked at the back of Ginny heading towards Harry, and suddenly broke into a confident smile.She was obviously a little annoyed by his teasing, so she even used his usual method to counter him.However, it was obvious that her mood was not as calm as she showed, otherwise she wouldn't have missed even the simple petrification spell at such a close distance and only hit his leg.

At the same time, he glanced casually across the table of honor, and the two people he cared about showed thoughtful eyes, obviously seeing what he wanted them to see, so Tom was sure that he still Some of the desired goals were achieved.He casually pulled out his wand, undid the spell on himself, and returned to his seat with a smile under Dumbledore's probing eyes.

During the rest of the ball, Tom didn't go dancing, but just sat in the guest table, coping with Dumbledore's various temptations, and chatting casually with several other people.Ginny and Harry did not return to the guest table, but stayed in the corner with Ron and Hermione, studying the possibility of the next project together.After the weird sisters left at twelve o'clock, as Dumbledore announced the end of tonight's dance, they followed the crowd and walked out of the hall together.

As soon as they walked up the stairs, Cedric's voice came from behind them: "Harry, can you come over here, I have something to talk to you about."

Harry glanced at the other three, nodded, and followed him to the side.Ginny leaned against the wall, looked at Qiu Zhang who came with Cedric, smiled at them in a friendly way, and then stood with them and waited.The eyes she looked at Cedric were undoubtedly full of admiration, even a little reverence, which was obviously a look of love, which made Ginny suddenly feel slightly bitter and speechless for her so-called love.She thought she would never be like this, with such a naked sweet look.

After waiting for a short time, Cedric seemed to smile at Harry, then walked to the front of the crowd, greeted everyone, and left with Qiu Zhang on his arm.Harry walked over with a thoughtful expression on his face, and under the questioning eyes of everyone, he said in a little confusion: "He asked me to take a bath with the golden egg, I don't know what happened. He said this It is to repay me for telling him about the dragon last time, and to return my favor. This is really a strange suggestion."

Ron and Hermione also showed puzzled expressions. Obviously, the golden egg and the bath cannot be related in any way. Only Ginny understood what he meant, so she gently suggested: "Anyway, he should have his reasons for saying that." Reasonable, try it, you should find some clues."

Harry hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I see, I'll try it in a few days. It won't be long before the second project, I think I really need to prepare early."

Seeing that he agreed, Ginny didn't say anything more, but just put Hermione on her arm: "That's good, then we'll go back first. Wait a few days, you go and try what Cedric said first." I'll talk about it later. If what he said is true, there should be hints about the next project, and we'll discuss it then." With that, she and Hermione said goodbye to Harry and Ron, and returned to the in their bedroom.
