The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

What Professor McGonagall wants to say can be summed up very simply: Christmas is coming, and Hogwarts, as the host of the Triwizard Tournament, will do something nice this Christmas, that is, hold a dance. She

Emphasized the restrictions of the prom: only students in fourth grade and above are allowed to participate, and students in lower grades can only participate through invitations from senior students.

"Put on your formal robes," Professor McGonagall continued. "The dance will be held in the Great Hall at eight o'clock on Christmas Eve and will end at twelve midnight. Listen -"

Professor McGonagall looked at the whole class calmly.

"The Yule Ball certainly gives us a chance to - well - let our hair down and relax," she said in a disapproving tone.

Hermione smiled knowingly. From Professor McGonagall's attitude, she saw the expectation that she was shy to express and the still young part of Professor McGonagall's heart. Then the laughter from Parvati and Lavender made Hermione laugh.

Her mood became a little bad, what's so funny? This superficial person... didn't want to think about it any more, and Hermione began to think about another problem that arose following Professor McGonagall's words - that of dance partners. This problem actually doesn't matter.

Thinking deeply, Hermione immediately turned her head and looked at DeWitt with burning eyes. At the same moment, DeWitt was also looking at Hermione calmly. Their eyes met in mid-air - "I can't dance." DeWitt.

Te said suddenly.

What a disappointment. Hermione was about to criticize him when she heard DeWitt say: "You have to teach me."

Although it was a bit regretful that there was no formal invitation, Hermione did not hold on to the inexplicable sense of ceremony. The good result was enough to make her happy, so Hermione pursed her lips and said: "Oh... of course."
Professor McGonagall on the podium could clearly see the situation below, and she expressed pleasure at the situation of DeWitt and Hermione. Just by looking at the expressions of the couple, it was clear that their prom partner had been finalized. Other than that,

In addition, Professor McGonagall also saw the possibility of a long-term future in these two beloved students, and then thought of his own marriage experience - it was more than one episode of sadness, but some sadness is better than some.

There are better students who are stunned - Professor McGonagall looked at most of the students who had no sense of nervousness and couldn't help but sigh in her heart - but these things are not suitable for her.

At the end, Professor McGonagall emphasized discipline, and she hoped that Gryffindor students would not embarrass Hogwarts. At the end, Professor McGonagall said: "Granger - please stay, I have something to discuss with you."

You said."

Under the podium, Hermione stopped packing her books. DeWitt said, "I'll wait for you outside?"

Professor McGonagall on the podium cleared her throat and said: "If you have already found a dance partner, you can also ask your dance partner to stay with you."

DeWitt consciously sat down again and waited with Hermione for all the other students in the classroom to leave.

When the classroom became quiet and even the dust fell to the ground gently, Professor McGonagall said: "It seems that you have found a dance partner, so I won't say more." The more he looked at the two children, McGonagall said

Professor Ge's face showed more and more smiles, but the old professor still maintained her dignity. She continued: "According to convention, the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament need to bear the responsibility of starting the dance..."

p>

Hermione had no idea of ​​refuting Professor McGonagall's words, but DeWitt frowned reluctantly, because no matter how he recalled his past, he couldn't find anything related to dancing. If dancing goes wrong

...Isn’t that embarrassing, sir?

"You look a little worried?" Hermione asked excitedly after walking out of the Transfiguration classroom: "Are you worried about the ball?"

"Kind of," DeWitt said: "Dancing? This is an area I haven't touched..."

"Is there something you're not good at?" Hermione looked at DeWitt's face carefully, trying to dig out the anxiety or expectation. She said with a smile: "Didn't I say - I'll teach you."<

/p>

"I'm just a little worried and a little awkward. Think about it...well," DeWitt said again, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I never expected that a person like me who thinks about how to fight all day long would now go dancing.

."

"That proves that your life is becoming peaceful. Didn't you say that you long for a peaceful life?" Hermione comforted: "This is a good thing."

Compared to people like DeWitt and Hermione, who were able to form a dancing couple right away, more students fell into the trouble of hesitation and entanglement. However, Hermione and DeWitt were not without worries. After Professor McGonagall announced

The day after the news of the Yule Ball, everyone in Hogwarts knew the news, including Victor Krum of Durmstrang, who searched for it with all his heart, like a hunting beast.

Waiting for an opportunity, he wanted to find a time to send an invitation to Hermione when DeWitt was not around, but DeWitt and Hermione were always inseparable - even though Krum felt that his methods and means of pursuing the opposite sex were aboveboard, and that his words and deeds

There was nothing wrong with it, but he wanted to avoid DeWitt, but he just didn't have the chance.

As a last resort, at noon that day, when DeWitt picked up the books that Hermione wanted to borrow and was about to leave with Hermione, Krum stopped Hermione and DeWitt in the library. He calmly walked towards DeWitt.

Nod nodded, then looked straight at Hermione and said, "Are you free?"

DeWitt's eyebrows knitted together, and the movement of raising his feet forward stopped. He looked at Krum, then at Hermione, knowing in his heart that the most decent thing to do at this moment was to wait for Hermione to answer. Although his love contained

Possession, but also full of trust, some things must be left to Hermione to make decisions, even if the two people's decisions will be consistent.

Hermione looked back at DeWitt uneasily, and after receiving DeWitt's reassuring signal that she could make her own decision, her eyebrows wrinkled just like DeWitt did, and she replied politely: "I want to go back to the dormitory now. Excuse me,

Are you okay?"

At this time, Klum's fans were already paying more and more attention. Dozens of pairs of eyes were looking at Klum, their ears were perked up, and everyone was holding their breath.

Breathe.

Krum thought a lot at this moment. He had been constantly trying to figure out Hermione's character in the past few days. He believed that Hermione was a low-key, introverted and charming girl, so the method of issuing invitations was very important. Due to various considerations,

, Klum said cautiously: "This is not the place to talk. Can we find a place with fewer people?"

Those glances that came to me immediately took on a deeper meaning.

"What?" Hermione thought she heard wrongly. She couldn't understand how Krum could make such a presumptuous request, so her tone immediately became rude and said: "No, I'm afraid not, I have to..."
"Get out! No talking in the library!" Mrs. Pince, the librarian, can always rush to the place where someone violates the rules as soon as possible. She recognized Hermione and DeWitt, her tone softened slightly, and the feather duster floating beside her was temporarily suspended.

Let it go, but the purpose remains the same: "If you have something to say, go out and say it."

When the fans saw that Krum was about to leave, they immediately followed suit. Fearing that they would miss the opportunity to gaze at their idol if they stood up too slowly, many people made a lot of noise. Mrs. Pince immediately responded with a stern and vigilant look.

, intimidated many students and made them a step late.

Now, in the long corridor at the entrance of the library, there are only three people: Krum, DeWitt and Hermione.

"Tell me," Hermione said angrily: "What's wrong with you? You're a brave man from the foreign school!"

Krum hurriedly explained his purpose, fearing that Hermione would worry about the embarrassment in the library again, he said: "That's right, I heard from my friends at Hogwarts that there is a dance for Christmas, so I wanted to ask you if you have one."

Dance partner, if you don’t have one..."

"Oh, is that so?" Hermione interrupted Krum. She tapped the book in DeWitt's hand with the wand in her hand, causing the book to float in the air. Then she pulled DeWitt next to her and held her arm.

He held DeWitt's arm and said: "No need to say any more, as you can see, I already have a dance partner."

Krum seemed a little lost. He had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Is there anything else?" Hermione asked patiently with the last bit of politeness: "We have to leave."

DeWitt said goodbye to Klum calmly: "Then, I'll see you again when we have the chance." He used his attitude to show Klum what a winner's margin is, even though there is no winning or losing emotionally.
