The girls finally managed to extract the bad news from Krum's poor English, which meant that everyone would never have the chance to invite Albert to dance. The girls who danced with Albert became the envy of everyone.
object.
Especially Albert's dance partner Katrina, who is now surrounded by girls. They are all curious about how Katrina became Albert's dance partner.
Finally, forced into desperation, Katrina could only briefly explain why she became Albert's dance partner.
"Originally, Albert planned to invite Isobel to be his dance partner. You also know their relationship, but for some reasons, Isobel didn't agree, so he later invited me to be his dance partner, saying that he wanted me to
Help him block some troubles. Don't look at me like that, these are his exact words." Katrina shrugged, indicating that she was telling the truth: "Albert invited me just to ask me to help him block your harassment. As for
He didn’t say the reason, but I think it was an acquaintance, and those who danced with Albert before were all his acquaintances and friends.”
"Does he know the Beauxbatons warriors?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"You should know, Albert usually takes care of acquaintances and friends." Katrina shrugged and said what Albert taught her before, but she didn't expect it to come in handy.
Therefore, the reason why none of the people around him could dance with Albert was because they were not familiar with him.
"I thought he liked you and wanted to pursue you." Lorena said depressedly.
"You are overthinking." Katrina glanced at this group of delusional girls, feeling inexplicably ridiculous, but she did not laugh in the end and just said calmly, "Albert has always liked Isobel."
"Aren't you jealous?" Lorena asked.
"Jealousy is useful?" Katrina asked, "Do you expect me to send him a pastry mixed with love potion like you did?"
The girls were a little embarrassed when this was exposed.
"Don't be stupid, Albert doesn't eat anything from unknown sources. He will probably throw away something suspicious like this." Katrina shook her head, telling the group to give up and stop fussing.
"Why didn't you tell us?" the girls complained.
"Even if I say it, will it be useful?" Katrina asked.
A longer silence fell around them.
is that useful?
No, but no one would say that people usually like to find excuses from others instead of looking for reasons from themselves.
Katrina ignored her female companions and stood up and walked towards the foyer, preparing to return to the Ravenclaw common room early. She had a great time dancing with Albert tonight, and now she plans to go back to rest.
.
As for where Albert went?
Katrina could actually guess that he probably went to spend Christmas with Isobel. As for how Albert did it, she actually didn't know. Anyway, that guy had great powers.
On the other side, Harry, who had just eavesdropped on the chat between Hagrid and Madame Maxime, was staring unhappily at Cho Chang who was dancing with Cedrit on the stage. He felt inexplicably anxious. Next to him, Ron was still stuck in
Hagrid is shocked that he is a half-giant.
"Harry, I have something to tell you." Hermione walked towards the two of them.
"What's up."
Harry looked away from Cho Chang and asked doubtfully.
"About the golden egg." Hermione lowered her voice, "Albert has unlocked the secret of the golden egg, and he asked me to tell you."
"I thought that guy was going to use this to blackmail Sirius for some money," Ron muttered.
Hermione didn't look at Ron at all, and regarded him as nothing. She looked at Harry and continued, "As long as you put the golden egg into the water and open it, you will know its secret."
"But why did Anderson tell me?"
Harry actually agreed with Ron's words in his heart. After all, Albert had cost Sirius a galleons through his first project.
"I suggest you ask him about this question yourself." Seeing Harry's reaction, Hermione frowned and said, "Also, I remember he also gave you a hint on the first project."
"Sirius paid." Ron said sarcastically.
"Before Sirius asked for divination, he told you that the first project may require facing magical creatures with a danger level of xxxxx." Hermione glanced at Ron coldly and said, "Sirius wants accurate information, so
He paid, and I don’t think there’s a problem with that. Don’t you even pay for things you buy in Hogsmeade? Or do you think others should give them to you for free?”
Hermione disliked Harry and Ron's attitude very much. They were as childish and ridiculous as children.
Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. In the end, he did not continue to struggle with this matter, but told Hermione the news they had just overheard.
Unlike Ron, Hermione thought how scary Hagrid was as a half-giant.
"Actually, I have known for a long time that he is a half-giant." Hermione shrugged and said, "To be honest, we don't need to be nervous about this matter."
"You have no idea how dangerous giants are." Ron said sharply, "Giants are fierce and dangerous. They are born to like killing people."
"Do you think Hagrid will hurt us?" Hermione asked ridiculously.
"Of course not," Harry said quickly. He didn't care about it and didn't see anything wrong with it.
"However, Hagrid is very irrational to do this." Hermione sighed. "Albert has warned him more than once not to mention the giant bloodline in front of anyone. In fact, we shouldn't talk about it either.
thing."
"Albert knows?" Harry asked doubtfully.
"If he knew that Hagrid didn't listen to his warning, he would definitely be very angry." Hermione was a little worried about what would happen next.
"What's there to be angry about?" Ron disagreed.
"Honestly, I think Madame Maxime is very wise. If it were me, she would probably say that I have a big frame." Hermione ignored Ron and murmured, "I hope nothing bad happens."
Hermione knew very well that since Albert specifically warned Hagrid, it meant that the leakage of this matter might have a very bad impact on Hagrid.
"Something bad."
"You shouldn't have forgotten the impact of Professor Lupine's werewolf identity being revealed, right?" Hermione reminded, "Professor Lupine lost his job and received countless angry letters, and Dumbledore also received a bunch of
Letter requesting the dismissal of Professor Lupine."
"So, don't mention it again, and don't mention it in front of others." After Hermione finished speaking, she stood up and walked away. Harry and Ron saw Krum quickly appearing next to Hermione, and they
After chatting for a few words, they walked towards the dance floor together.
Ron's face became even more gloomy.
"If I were to invite her to dance, I wouldn't refuse."
"What?" Ron suddenly turned his head and looked at Harry.
"Nothing, I was thinking about whether to invite..." Harry lowered his voice and murmured.
Until the end of the ball, Harry finally failed to muster up the courage to ask Cho Chang to dance, and spent the Yule Ball in regret.
