Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 902 Dance partner

   As soon as Albert woke up, he was fooled by the good plan of the three good roommates.

   What is this and what?

  He was still sleeping in a daze, and he couldn't hear clearly for a while. The voices of the three people echoed in his ears, which made him tireless.

   "Damn it, won't you wait until my head is clearer?" Albert covered his yawn and got up from the bed sleepily.

  After entering the bathroom to wash up, he went downstairs to have lunch with the three of them. By the way, talking about the topic just now, Albert learned from them that he had received more than one hundred Christmas presents.

  When I came back in the early morning, I also noticed that there were a lot of Christmas presents piled up under the bed, but I didn't expect the number to be so amazing.

"Girls at school send you a whole bunch of flavored snacks and desserts, like chocolates, cakes, candy, etc. There are more than 30 packages, Lee Jordan has tested it, and it does have a love potion in it, And..." Both Fred and George sneaked a glance at Lee Jordan, trying not to laugh.

   "Amazing results."

   "If you really take out that pile of desserts and share them with others, you will probably be beaten to death by a group of people." Albert looked at the three excitedly and shook his head.

  The picture of a group of people being intoxicated by the love potion is terrifying just thinking about it.

"It's okay, the big deal is that we will spend the next Christmas holiday in the Room of Requirement, and then let the house elves help deliver the food. After the Christmas holiday is over, everyone should calm down." The Weasley twins said about the next Christmas. I already have my own plans for the holidays, and obviously I want to engage in Boda because of this.

"Well, if you want to do that, then do it. Anyway, after the Christmas ball, I will be away from school for a while." Albert shrugged, saying that he didn't want to take care of it, and the three thought Just do what you do.

   Anyway, life is endless, and death is endless.

As for Ludo Bagman, there is nothing wrong with sending that guy a gift. According to the news disclosed by Black in the letter, Ludo Bagman still has no plans to repay the large sum of Galleons he owes. , not a single nat has been returned so far.

   Being chased by the goblins of Gringotts to collect debts?

Bagman has become used to it now, and often plays hide-and-seek with the goblins at Gringotts. Even if he gets caught, he doesn't have a single Knut in his pocket anyway. Apart from giving Bagman a hard lesson, the goblins will also take There is nothing he can do.

   Looking for help from the Ministry of Magic?

The goblins have also protested to the Ministry of Magic. Ludo Bagman is also the director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, but the Ministry of Magic regretfully stated that the money owed is Bagman's private matter, and they have nothing to do with it. There is no way to control it.

  The goblins were half-dead with anger.

   “School has changed a lot!”

  Albert found that the handrails of the marble stairs were actually covered with icicles that would never melt, and some beautiful decorations could be seen everywhere.

  Hogwarts professors seem to want to impress Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's guests by turning the entire castle into a paradise of ice and snow.

   "I heard that the prefect and the student council president have been called to help. Shanna has been looking for you everywhere for a while." George reminded with a smile, "You better think of an excuse for yourself."

  After entering the auditorium, the four of them were quickly attracted by the piles of food on the long table. There were a lot of turkey, Christmas pudding and wizard biscuits on it. Everyone could enjoy a rich lunch here.

  In the afternoon, Albert went back to the dormitory to sort out his Christmas presents. He needed to find out what gifts his old friends had sent, so that he could mention them when he replied next time.

Fred, George and Lee Jordan went to send "Christmas presents" to Ludo Bagman and some annoying Slytherin students, and by the way, they also sent Ron and Percy One, in Fred's words: Poor little Ronnie has hardly received any decent Christmas presents, and Percy can only spend Christmas alone in the office, and needs some comfort.

  Albert stayed in the dormitory all afternoon, checking the Christmas presents according to the list provided by Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, and by the way, unwrapping the Christmas presents that the house-elf had singled out for him.

Nia sent a pair of delicate gray woolen gloves, the LeMays gave a brick-thick book, Dumbledore gave Albert an old notebook, and Mogg sent some copies of fragments of ancient runes, Bard sent a copy of "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells".

As for Lee Jordan, he is still the same Bibi Beans for thousands of years. Fred and George jointly gave a hardcover edition of "Practical Household Magic". By the way, they plan to give a hardcover copy next Christmas edition of Common Magical Ailments.

The idea of ​​the Weasley twins is that Albert doesn't need a Christmas gift anyway, so they should give something that might come in handy in the future, such as the books they always have at home. By the way, the two always don't forget to despise , Lee Jordan, who gave a box of Bibi’s multi-flavored beans all the year round, although Lee Jordan also despised them for only giving one gift.

Most of the greeting cards were thrown away by him after being glanced at; notes and other things need to be put away separately; as for the pile of snacks and desserts sent by the girls, Albert handed them all over to his three good roommates , there are some scarves, socks, gloves and so on. By the way, Dobby the house elf knitted a pair of very brightly colored woolen socks, and Albert decided to give them to Hermione another day.

   "Have you finished packing your Christmas presents yet?"

  The door of the dormitory was pushed open again, and Fred, George, and Lee Jordan walked in. Their clothes were wet, and there were still some unmelted snowflakes on their shoulders.

   "Going to have a snowball fight." Albert asked casually

   "I wanted to ask you to play together."

  The three of them looked at each other, they took out a snowball out of nowhere, and threw it at the back of Albert's head, but the snowball bounced back and hit the faces of the three of them.

   "Damn, you don't always wear something like a defensive bracelet." Lee Jordan complained, wiping the snow off his face, "I remember that thing shouldn't work on things."

   "I just said that your plan is unreliable."

   "Ahem, let's change into dresses too."

Fred put the snow on Tom with a smile, the fat cat glanced at Fred with an idiot look, stood up and shook the snowflakes on his body, opened his mouth and yawned, and squatted back into the cat nest again, Continue to look out the window and think about cat life.

"I think you should have agreed to let Fengya Wizard Clothing Store customize a ball gown for you." After seeing Albert's simple style gown, Lee Jordan said regretfully, "It will definitely become the whole dress by then." The center of attention at a ball, all the girls are fascinated."

   "This dress doesn't look like the one bought at Madam Malkin's robe shop." George said to Li Jordan after checking the fabric of the dress, "Didn't you find that Albert's dress is obviously finer than ours?"

   "Where did you buy it?" Fred asked curiously.

   "It was given by someone else." Albert looked at himself in front of the long mirror in the corner, "It can actively adapt to the wearer's height and weight!"

   "Why didn't anyone give me such a good thing!"

  Lee Jordan adjusted his bow tie depressedly. He found that Albert looked more handsome in that dress, and the bright red dress on himself looked really...

   "Don't be depressed, no one will care what you look like, unless you only wear underwear to the Christmas ball." Fred patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder and comforted, the twins were wearing dark blue dresses.

  When they went downstairs, there were a bunch of students wearing colorful gowns in the common room. As soon as Albert appeared, he immediately attracted the crowds of girls.

   "Sorry, I have to go first, see you later."

  Albert didn't intend to continue standing here for people to watch. He greeted Lee Jordan and walked towards the entrance of the common room.

"see you later."

  Fred and Lee Jordan had to wait for their partners in the common room.

   "Did you tell Luna where to meet?"

   After leaving the common room, Albert asked the sullen Lee Jordan.

   "In the hall, how about you? Where are you going to pick up your girlfriend." Lee Jordan blinked and asked.

   "It's a dance partner." Albert corrected.

   "Is there a difference?"

"Yes, there is a literal difference." Albert glanced at his pocket watch and felt that the time was a little early. He pulled out his wand from his pocket and cast a camouflage spell on himself to reduce his sense of presence to prevent being surrounded by people on the road .

   "Everyone likes to be famous..." Lee Jordan muttered under his breath.

   "You can ask Potter." Albert said, "He certainly doesn't want to be famous now."

After arriving near the foyer, Albert separated from Lee Jordan. He had already found Katrina in the crowd, and Albert saw Isobel on Katrina no matter in her clothes or attire. .

   "You-um-beautiful." Albert said awkwardly.

   "You don't seem to like it?" Katrina raised an eyebrow.

   "No, I like it very much." Albert said helplessly, "However, you are you and she is her."

"You don't have to feel sorry. Isobel and I are sisters. We actually like the same things and have similar aesthetics." Katrina heard the meaning of Albert's words and said calmly, "Also, I am very happy. Glad to hear you say that."

The time the two talked, already attracted a large number of envious girls. Lee Jordan also brought Luna over here. This little girl from Ravenclaw was wearing a lake blue dress. It also looks beautiful.

   "I suddenly understand why you said that Davis' invitation to the meeting failed." Lee Jordan also recognized Katrina, after all, they often take classes together, "I thought you would..."

   "It's too noisy here." Albert interrupted, "Let's go out for a stroll, it's still a while before eight o'clock."

  The two walked out of the foyer, and Albert found that the lawn in front of the castle had been turned into a cave, with fairy lights shining in it, and he also saw the statues of Santa Claus and his reindeer.

   "Is this your dance partner?"

  Yanya, who was wearing a red dress, walked up to them, looked Katrina up and down, and said to Albert: "I really don't understand why you rejected me. Are sisters more interesting?"

   "You always have a strong attraction to pretty girls." Katrina said, frowning.

   "Where's your partner?" Albert asked expressionlessly.

   "I didn't find a dance partner, and I don't think it's necessary." Yaniya looked in a certain direction and said mockingly: "I don't need to be like someone who was rejected, so I can only find one at random."

  The two followed Yanila's eyes and saw the stunningly glamorous Fleur in a silver-gray satin gown. Accompanying her was Roger Davis, the captain of the Ravenclaw College Quidditch team.

Roger Davis noticed the gazes of several people, looked sideways, his eyes fell on Katrina, and then moved to Albert, his expression suddenly became a little weird, he remembered the day Albert said Do you know who Katrina's dance partner is?

  However, Davis doesn't care anymore, anyway, he has found a more beautiful dance partner. Honestly, sometimes he can't even believe his luck.

   "A poor **** who has been so fascinated by Delacour." Yanya said contemptuously as she watched the two leave.

  After Yania left, Lee Jordan and Luna appeared out of nowhere.

   "You really hit the spot. I wonder if you knew about this from the beginning. By the way, Professor McGonagall is looking for warriors, you should go and gather."

   "It's a little earlier than I expected, let's go there!" Albert asked Katrina to hold his arm. As soon as the two entered the foyer, they heard Professor McGonagall's voice: "Mr. Anderson, please bring your dance partner here!"

  The two walked towards Professor McGonagall and joined the team of warriors.

  Fleur's partner is Davis, Harry's partner is Parvati, and Krum's partner is indeed Hermione.

  History has turned around, but turned back again. Sometimes, if there is no forcible intervention to change, the track of history can easily turn back.

  Of course, if he took the initiative to invite Hermione to be his dance partner, there would be nothing wrong with Krum.

   Fleur Delacour's eyes fell on Katrina, and after looking up and down, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.

   "I think Yanila must be very angry," she said.

   "What does this mean." Katrina asked sideways.

   “Girls always like to compare who is more beautiful.”

  Albert originally thought that the warriors would enter the arena surrounded by everyone, but Professor McGonagall asked them to wait by the door and let other students go in first.

   After everyone was seated in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the warriors lined up and their dance partners to follow her in, and walked towards the front of the auditorium where the referee sat at a large round table.

  The people in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically. Maybe this is the glory for the warriors, but not every warrior likes this. At least, Albert was expressionless, Krum was sullen, Fleur didn't respond, and Harry was even more stern, as if he was always paying attention to his feet, for fear that he would accidentally trip and embarrass himself.
