Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 899 Rejected Invitation

  As Christmas approached, the festive atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle became stronger and stronger. Students everywhere were talking about the Yule Ball, and everyone seemed a little too excited.

  Boys like to get together and discuss which girl is more beautiful. The topic they talked about most was Miss Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons, guessing who she would choose as her dance partner, some guys who were not too serious, even wanted to encourage their friends to invite Miss Delacour.

The situation of the girls is not much better, they suddenly like to appear in groups in the hallway, the companions around them seem to give them great courage, every time a boy walks by, the girls will scream and laugh , talking about and evaluating a certain boy unabashedly.

  Most of the time, the girls enjoy exchanging ideas, talking about what to wear for Christmas night, or chatting about Albert's exclusive gossip.

Since Albert announced early on that he already had a dance partner, he managed to avoid the happiness troubles of being surrounded by a group of girls competing to be a dance partner, but the handsome and handsome Digory who was in the same class as him was not so lucky .

As those boys who are jealous of Digory comment: Diggory the Noodle, and girls happen to like the Noodle, so Diggory has been enjoying the trouble of being invited by the girls lately, although Digory has claimed more than once that he already has A partner, but like Albert, no one knew who his partner was, so the girls thought it was Diggory's excuse.

   "A handsome person can really do whatever he wants."

  Looking at Diggory surrounded by a group of girls, Fred turned his head to George beside him and said, "Some people are worried that they won't find a dance partner, but Digory is just blindsided by too many dance partners."

"Actually, I'm even more curious. Why didn't any girls come to invite Albert?" George felt that Albert would be more popular with girls than Diggory. After all, he was a warrior, handsome enough, and famous. It doesn't make sense for someone to invite Albert on his own initiative.

   "Because I have a girlfriend, and I found a dance partner very early." Albert looked at Diggory surrounded by girls, and suddenly felt that it would be good for someone to help attract firepower.

  Actually, no girl came to Albert, mainly because Lee Jordan helped spread the word, and Albert invited Miss McDougal as his dance partner.

  When you hear Ms. McDougal, you will naturally think of Albert's girlfriend. Those who have a girlfriend will naturally find a girlfriend as a dance partner. This fact is quite normal.

   "By the way, do you know who Digory's dance partner is?" George asked curiously, "Or that guy still hasn't found a dance partner yet."

   "Of course it's his girlfriend." Albert showed an expression that was beyond words.

   "That guy actually has a girlfriend?"

   "Never heard him mention it."

   "Nor have I heard that Diggory is dating anyone."

  The three of them showed surprised expressions, as if such a thing still happened.

"Diggory is very handsome, and he is excellent in all aspects, so it's not normal to not have a girlfriend." Albert looked at the three of them suspiciously and said, "You are not envious of Cedric, are you? If you are envious, then hurry up and find a girlfriend."

   "Mine is only envious of his..."

  Fred couldn't finish his sentence, but was forcibly interrupted by George. He changed the subject and asked, "Who is Digory's girlfriend?"

   "Cho Zhang!" Albert reminded, "I remember that at the defense association last time, Cedric's Boggart was Qiu Zhang. At that time, Boggart Qiu Zhang said that he didn't like him."

"It's no wonder that Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw rarely win Quidditch matches. It turns out that Cedric is secretly giving up his girlfriend." Fred couldn't help complaining, "He actually really Got Ravenclaw's Seeker."

   "They started secretly dating at the end of last semester."

  When Albert just passed the corner, he couldn't help slowing down, and couldn't help but glance at the other side of the corner, where someone was trying to invite others to the dance.

   "Do you think Davis can succeed?"

   Lee Jordan blinked and looked at Roger Davis and Katrina McDougal on the other side of the corridor, and the gossip soul in his heart began to burn.

   "No." Albert said calmly.

   "I remember Katrina seems to like you." George said suddenly.

   "I remember that your girlfriend seems to be her sister." Fred touched Albert with his elbow and said, "These sisters are all interested in you."

   "Shh, be quiet." Lee Jordan made a shh gesture, helping Albert to save him from embarrassment.

   "I asked Lorena, and she said that you don't have a dance partner at all." Davis' voice came over. Although he still tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, they couldn't hear the excitement in his voice.

   "No, I already have a partner." Katrina calmly declined.

   "Who are you going with?" Davis asked reluctantly.

   "You'll know when the Christmas ball arrives." Naturally, Katrina didn't intend to reveal this matter, otherwise if this matter spread, she wouldn't be annoyed to death by the girls.

   "I suddenly feel that Davis is so pitiful." Fred secretly glanced at Albert beside him, but he didn't expect to be hit by Albert's words.

"I think Davis should have invited McDougal earlier. Most of the beautiful girls have been invited away." Lee Jordan also secretly glanced at Albert and asked: "You must know Katrina's Who is the dance partner?"

   "Well, I know." Albert nodded.

  Yeah, how can he not know about this kind of thing?

   "You are actually better informed than I am." Lee Jordan joked with great interest. He felt that he might have guessed something.

   "Oh, who is that person?" Davis asked out of nowhere, depressed.

   "That's her private business." Albert said, stretching out his hand and patted Davis on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, you can definitely find a more beautiful dance partner."

   "Wow!" Fred screamed exaggeratedly.

   "A prettier partner?" George added.

  Davis said very depressed: "There are not many more beautiful dance partners than McDougal."

"Don't worry, you will definitely find it. You have to trust Albert, his words are always accurate." George reached out and patted Davis on the shoulder, and said with a forced smile, "He said just now that you would invite Katri Na failed, you really failed."

  The blood vessels on Davis' forehead trembled, feeling that he had been molested by the Weasley twins, he snorted dissatisfiedly, pushed away George's hand on his shoulder and walked away.

   "This guy doesn't believe you." Fred gave Davis a really stupid expression.

   "If I were him, I would definitely think you were teasing me." Albert shook his head and said, "I always feel that today may not be the right time to invite others to the dance."

   "When you say that, I suddenly feel that other people are very unlucky." Fred silently mourned for the others in his heart for three seconds.

  Facts have proved that Albert's crow's mouth is really powerful.

  The four of them were just about to go to the hall for dinner, when they passed by the third floor, they encountered a similar scene again. However, this time the protagonists were replaced by Harry and Cho Chang.

  The two had just separated when they passed the hallway.

  However, as long as Harry Potter looked distraught, he couldn't guess that he just wanted to invite Qiu Zhang as his dance partner, but was rejected by the other party.

   However, this is a matter of course.

  After all, after Qiu Zhang has a boyfriend, he will definitely not consider other boys when looking for a dance partner.

  Harry Potter didn't know about this, and he was still annoyed why he didn't invite Qiu Zhang earlier, instead of waiting for Qiu Zhang to be invited away like now, and regretting here alone.

  He hated the feeling.

   When Harry recovered from the bad news and was about to return to the Gryffindor common room, he saw four people standing not far away, looking at him with scrutiny.

  Harry's face flushed red all of a sudden, the matter of him inviting Qiu Zhang was seen by Albert and the others, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

  Albert even reminded himself a long time ago, but he was still messed up by himself.

  When Harry lowered his head and was about to leave, George comforted his ears: "Don't feel bad for Harry, you can definitely find a better dance partner."

   "You're right, I should have taken action earlier." Harry stopped and said to Albert expressionlessly.

   "Actually, it's useless even if you take action earlier." Albert hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Harry the truth: "Qiu Zhang and Diggory started dating last year."

  Harry: "…"

  At this moment, Harry felt his head suddenly exploded with a bang, and his mind went blank. He walked forward slowly with a stiff expression, and he could no longer listen to what other people said.

   "What's wrong with Harry?" Fred looked at Harry's lonely back and said, "Broken in love?"

   "Well, I'm broken in love." Albert said heartlessly, "That's the bad thing about being in love with a crush. It's easy to lose love, so if you have someone you like, you must confess as soon as possible."

   "Then, can we break up early?" Lee Jordan had a strange expression, as if recalling some bad memories.

  The next moment, a burst of laughter erupted around.

   "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." Fred and George said with fingers wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes.

  Albert covered the smile on the corner of his mouth with his hands.

"Hey, if you like Angelina, hurry up and seize this opportunity to develop into a girlfriend." Lee Jordan sighed helplessly, "Anyway, I have given up. People have to be visual animals, and they like handsome Or beautiful people, no wonder Lockhart can be famous with that face, sometimes I really envy you and Diggory."

"Ahem, don't be discouraged. Looks don't mean everything. Many girls like Krum more because of his fame. If you are a warrior, there will also be many girls who like you," Albert comforted. road.

   "I'm not a warrior." Lee Jordan said quietly.

"I know, but you can be famous in other fields, such as the wizard card. The wizard card became popular all over the world that day, and you will definitely become famous along with it. By then, you are afraid that no beautiful girl will like you." Albert seriously fooled Said, "Don't think I'm fooling you."

   "Isn't it?" Lee Jordan pouted dissatisfiedly. If it was before, he might have been fooled, but now it is impossible.

   "Of course not. As long as you fill your pockets with Galleons and make a career, you will become very confident. Couldn't you find a beautiful girl at that time?"

   "I think Albert's words are very reasonable." Both Fred and George secretly wiped off their cold sweat. They found that Albert's ability to deceive people was getting stronger and stronger.

After successfully fooling Lee Jordan into staying, the four of them continued towards the hall. When passing by the foyer, they found that it was crowded with people for some reason, or full of boys, and the big boys were secretly watching a certain direction.

  Following everyone's gazes, the four found Beauxbaton's warrior Fleur talking to Digory.

   "Didn't you say that Digory's dance partner is Qiu Zhang? From this posture, he seems to be planning to invite Fleur to the ball?" Fred looked towards Fleur's position and couldn't help but said.

   "Well, Digory may be under charm magic." Albert looked at the two over there with great interest and speculated, "That Miss Delacour has some Veela blood and is very good at charm magic."

   "Do you think Diggory will give up Qiu Zhang and become Miss Delacour's dance partner?" Lee Jordan found the whole thing more and more interesting.

   However, something more interesting happened.

   While everyone was watching quietly, a red-haired boy broke into their sight.

   "Miss Delacour, would you like to attend the Christmas ball with me?" Ron Weasley suddenly walked towards Fleur, inviting her to the ball in person.

  The next moment, the entrance to the hall fell into a strange dead silence.

  Everyone turned their gazes to the red-haired man, stunned by his actions.

  Even Fred and George were stunned by this scene. It was hard to imagine that Ron could summon up the courage to invite Fleur.

  After Furong heard Ron's invitation, she just looked up at Ron without saying a word, just looked at him like this, and then quietly lifted the charm magic.

  The next moment, Ron suddenly came back to his senses, as if realizing what happened, he turned around and ran away.

"Hermione said that Ron wanted to find a beautiful girl as a dance partner, but he didn't expect to actually invite Fleur Delacour to go to the ball with him." Ginny appeared out of nowhere, and looked at Rowan sympathetically. En's back.

   "No one stipulates that Miss Delacour cannot be invited."

   Of course Albert knew that Ron was only unfortunately affected by the charm magic, so he took the initiative to invite him, but the scene of Ron's death just now was so interesting that he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

   Being interrupted by Ron, Diggory also came back to his senses, and also realized that something was wrong, said quickly: "Sorry, I have a partner", and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

  Looking at Digory's leaving back, Fleur frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably irritated, turned around and left directly.

   There was a sudden burst of laughter in the hall.

The story of Ron Weasley's invitation to Fleur Delacour was widely circulated, and many students found it very interesting, especially those who saw that scene with their own eyes, and talked about it with others .

  In short, Ron Weasley became the object of attention, but the reason really didn't make him happy.

  Slytherin's Draco Malfoy often used this incident to mock him: the toad wants to eat swan meat.
