Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

As Harry thought, Christmas would be a little different this year.

In other words, in history, whenever the Triwizard Tournament was held, Christmas night would be a grand event for the students of the host school.

Because not only do everyone have to eat and drink on this festival, students and professors also have a dance party together.

At this dance, the chosen warriors are naturally the focus.

Unfortunately, Harry didn't want to be the center of attention.

"You can't refuse!" Professor McGonagall said forcefully. "As a Hogwarts warrior, as a representative of the school, you must do what everyone expects. Therefore, you must find yourself a dance partner, Potter. .”

"It's traditional practice and it's something you have to take responsibility for."

After hearing what she said, Harry looked stunned.

He never thought that one day he would have to face such a choice.

This dance is not only compulsory for the warriors, but also all students in Hogwarts' fourth year and above will stay in school this Christmas.

But for them, this is something they can only hope for. Spending Christmas at home is not as fun as having a dance at school.

The girls have been gathering together lately, and every time a boy walks past them, they giggle.

Harry sat depressedly next to Ron. A row of girls happened to pass by in front of them. The girls also saw Harry, looked at him, and giggled secretly.

"Why do they walk together in groups?" Harry said with a headache, "This gives me no chance to speak. How can I grab one of them and invite her to be my dance partner? "

He seemed to be distressed, but in fact his eyes couldn't bear to glance in one direction.

There was a group of Ravenclaw girls gathered there, and one of them, a beautiful girl with an oriental face and waterfall-like black hair, attracted his attention like a magnet.

Ron on the side did not notice that Harry was fascinated by Qiu Zhang at this time. He shrugged and said.

"Put one in a noose? Have you figured out who you want to invite now?"

Harry was embarrassed to reveal his crush, but his coy look made Ron notice the problem.

"Actually, you don't have to be like this, Harry, you are a warrior of Hogwarts. Think about your heroic performance against the fire dragon, and you have to start the dance. As long as you invite, no girl will refuse you. of."

Although Ron's tone was a bit sour when he said these words, what he said was actually not wrong at all.

The next day, Harry received a prom invitation from a girl. He was extremely surprised, and then refused without hesitation, which made the girl leave looking very sad.

After that, several girls extended invitations to him. The youngest was a second-year student, and the oldest was even a fifth-year student.

But the person Harry had been thinking about never came to him.

There was only one week left before the end of this semester and the start of the Christmas dance, and Harry still hadn't found his dance partner.

And the person he had always liked was only asked out by Lily when he was having a heart-to-heart talk with Lily in the middle of the night.

"You're nothing like your father in this way."

Lily, who was illusory and whose body was glowing with light fluorescence, had a nostalgic smile on her face.

"When it comes to chasing girls, James's skin is thicker than the walls of Hogwarts Castle. He stuck to me like candy all day long, which made me hate him."

Harry, who was lying on the quilt, couldn't help but poke his head out of the quilt and said, thinking he was smart.

"So I can't be like him."

Lily couldn't help laughing.

"But I still married him in the end. Harry, you still don't understand a little girl's heart at all. Sometimes dislike is actually another way of expressing love. Girls always mature much earlier than boys mentally. So many girls think that boys of the same age are childish, and if she finds a boy annoying, she may not actually like him, but she just subconsciously hates how she could become such a childish guy."

It's a pity that Harry is still that childish kid and he didn't understand the golden words Lily imparted to him.

Instead, he curled his lips and muttered in a low voice that he would definitely not be someone who was hated like that.

Lily looked at him with a gentle smile on her face, and reached out to touch Harry's hair, which was actually out of her reach.

"I'm not saying that you should be a disgusting person for girls, but I'm advising you to be bolder and try to extend an invitation to her. Even if you are rejected, so what? If she rejects you, it will only be you now. What will happen in the future? How, who can say for sure?”

Harry's face turned a little red, and he covered his face in the quilt again, as if he had decided on something.

There were only a few days before the start of the Yule Ball, and it was at this time that Harry chose to take action.

After a History of Magic get out of class, he found the opportunity and walked alone in front of Qiu Zhang who was planning to go to the auditorium with his friends.

"Can I have a few words with you alone? Qiu Zhang?"

The girls walking with Qiu Zhang all giggled, which made Harry feel very angry in his heart, feeling that they had ruined such a solemn occasion.

The considerate Qiu Zhang naturally did not embarrass Harry in front of his friends. He nodded in agreement and walked with him to a corner where there was no one else.

Even though he had mustered up the courage in advance, Harry still hesitated when speaking at this time.

"You, um, I...dance..."

Even if Cho Chang had four ears, it would be impossible for him to understand what Harry was saying.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I was wondering, if you'd like, could you be my partner in the Yule Ball?"

Harry felt as if his face was burning like he could cook pancakes on it, but he still insisted on saying the invitation.

However, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoｓhuyuan.com Although his courage was commendable, the result did not go as he wanted.

Qiu Zhang looked surprised, and her face turned red, but she still said apologetically.

"Sorry, Harry, I've already promised someone else."

Harry seemed stunned, but at least some simple words came out of his mouth.

"okay."

Qiu Zhang also looked embarrassed, and the atmosphere between the two became weird.

"That's it, I'm going to have lunch with my friends."

Just as she was about to leave, Harry couldn't help but ask again.

"May I know who you agreed to be his dance partner?"

"Cedric." As if he was afraid that Harry wouldn't know his full name, Cho Chang said again, "Cedric Diggory."
