Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Hearing Glenn's familiar voice, Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that she didn't refute, a trace of disappointment flashed in Cedric's eyes, but he quickly covered it up well.

"I'm sorry, I was rude." He showed a slightly forced smile and said sensibly.

Seeing that he didn't bother anymore, Glenn didn't say anything more and watched him leave with a polite smile.

When he walked away, Qiu Cai smiled and whispered: "If I remember correctly, you haven't invited me to be your dance partner yet, right?"

"E.." Glenn's smile froze on his face, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

Qiu's words were true. Although he had already prepared a dress for her to attend the ball, he had never found the right time to invite her and it had not yet been sent to her.

I have to admit that Cedric is the official partner of Rachel in the original work after all. When he extended the invitation, Glenn instinctively felt a sense of crisis, so much so that for a moment he even felt like he was being bullied by someone from the East Eighth District.

The feeling of being possessed by the president.

Seeing that Qiu had already raised such a question, Glenn simply took the opportunity and said: "Follow me, I have a gift for you."

In fact, even if he didn't extend the invitation, Qiu acquiesced to the fact that she would attend the dance with him, and the previous question was just a joke. She was slightly stunned when she heard that Glenn had specially prepared a gift.

Then he got up and left with him.

Several friends who were keen on gossip exchanged glances with each other, and then tacitly planned to follow up and have a look.

But before they could get up, Glenn suddenly turned back.

"Don't follow us!" he said seriously.

Several people gave him a "we all understand" look and smiled like a kind aunt.

Glenn and Autumn made their way up the stairs and soon returned to the common room.

It happened to be lunch time, everyone went to the auditorium, and the lounge was very quiet.

"Wait for me, I'll go up and get the gift."

Glenn quickly ran back to the dormitory and took out a beautifully wrapped cardboard box from the bedside table.

Even though his relationship with Qiu had already reached a tacit understanding, when he actually faced this invitation that could equal a confession, Glenn, who had almost no emotional experience, still seemed very nervous.

"Is this the gift you specially prepared?" Although Qiu's face was blushing, she still asked calmly and generously.

"Ah...yes." Glenn tried hard to sort out his mood, put on a serious expression, and formally invited: "Dear Miss Qiu Zhang, would you like to attend the Christmas ball with me?"

Although he finished his lines without any stumble, the almost crushed gift box still betrayed his mood at the moment.

"I do!" Qiu accepted his gift without hesitation and said with a smile.

Glenn breathed a long sigh of relief and pointed at the box with a smile: "Open it and take a look. This is specially prepared for the dance."

Qiu nodded and pulled away the colorful ribbons that tied the carton, revealing a light blue brocade cheongsam lying quietly inside.

"I asked Mr. Changqing to make a special trip to Shanghai to find the best cheongsam shop there to order it." Glenn explained.

Compared with the traditional cheongsam, the style of this one is more like what people often call improved cheongsam. It retains the original slimming features and incorporates some Western elements. It also adds a skirt, making it more suitable for scenes such as Christmas dances.

The cheongsam master also specially added a small shawl, adding a bit of girlish charm.

"It's so beautiful!" Qiu's eyes were instantly attracted, and she gestured with it in front of her, unable to put it down.

"Would you like to try it on?" Glenn asked, "The sizes were specially ordered from Sumire, so they should fit quite well."

Qiu hesitated for a moment and shook his head, obviously not wanting Glenn to see it in advance.

At this time, the door to the lounge was quietly pushed open, revealing three curious faces.

There is no doubt that these are the three gossipy friends who were ordered not to follow.

It's a pity that autumn is just around the corner

The cheongsam had been folded and put back into the carton, and the few of them could hardly see anything.

"Stop hiding." Glenn said with a speechless face, "You are already late."

After hearing what he said, several people had no choice but to push the door open and walk in. They were still complaining about each other for wasting time. Qiu looked at them with a smile, took the cheongsam back upstairs and put it away.

Glenn successfully solved the problem of inviting dance partners and was naturally in a good mood, but Harry and Ron on the other side were not so relaxed.

When they returned to the auditorium again, the entrance hall was crowded with people. Fleur was talking to Cedric who had just been rejected, and Morgana was waiting beside her boredly.

When two mixed-blood Veela come together, even if they don't deliberately exude charm, they are enough to become the focus of the crowd.

What's more, in order to get Cedric to agree immediately, Fleur could be said to be full of charm at this time. Even if Glenn was close, she couldn't keep calm without cheating.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why so many people gather here.

As soon as they came down the stairs, Eddie and Marcos were immediately attracted and almost rushed up to extend the invitation.

The same goes for Harry and Ron who just walked out of the Great Hall.

Fortunately, Ginny was by Harry's side and reached out to hold him. At the critical moment, she subconsciously chose to stop Harry and let her resentful brother fend for himself.

As if he was sleepwalking, Ron kept walking towards Fleur and asked without hesitation: "Miss Delacour, will you go to the ball with me?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ron.

Furong was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned around and looked at this "warrior" in confusion.

Before she could speak, Ron suddenly came back to his senses. His entire face, including his ears, turned into the color of his hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned white instantly.

"Sorry, I just..."

Just as Fleur opened her mouth, the white-faced Ron turned around and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight as if he were fleeing.

"...I just accepted Mr. Diggory's invitation..."

It wasn't until the hem of his robe disappeared around the corner of the stairs that Fleur managed to finish half of her sentence.

At this time, Harry had just come back to his senses.

He lowered his head blankly and noticed that Ginny was still pulling his arm hard. Ginny's face quickly turned red and she let go of him in a panic.

"What happened?" He looked at Glenn and the others walking over and asked blankly.

Glenn suppressed a smile and explained: "You were attracted by Delacour's Veela magic, and you almost rushed to confess your love. If Ginny hadn't held you back, I'm afraid you would have fled like Ron.
