"Potter! Weasley! Can you pay attention?" Professor McGonagall roared loudly on the podium.
This was at the end of the Transfiguration class on Thursday afternoon. Because the coursework was over, Ryan was summarizing the knowledge points in the class when he was frightened by Professor McGonagall's roar.
After criticizing Harry and the others for being as skinny as Pippi Shrimp, Professor McGonagall started to get down to business.
"The Yule Ball is coming soon. It is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity for us to socialize with foreign guests. Well, the ball is only open to students in fourth grade and above. But if you want, you can invite a junior.
"Grade students"
The audience immediately became agitated. After all, for students who are in adolescence, prom is definitely an exciting activity. Ryan even heard a few girls laughing.
"Put on your formal robes," Professor McGonagall said with a straight face, "The dance will be held in the Great Hall at eight o'clock on Christmas Eve and will end at twelve midnight."
At this point, Professor McGonagall glanced seriously at the excited students below. "The Yule Ball will undoubtedly give us the opportunity to let down our hair and relax ourselves. But that doesn't mean that we will relax to the students of Hogwarts."
behavior requirements. I would be very sad if a Gryffindor student brought disgrace to the school in any way."
Sure enough, as the vice-principal who is really in charge of things in Hogwarts (Dumbledore is in charge of the general direction at most, and specific affairs are always handled by Professor McGonagall), he will keep an eye on every student at all times.
After class, Professor McGonagall stopped Ryan and Harry and informed them that as warriors they needed to dance, so they must find a good partner and practice how to dance to avoid making a fool of themselves.
The two agreed repeatedly, and finally got rid of Professor McGonagall's nagging.
Now not only the usually outgoing Gryffindor students, but also the enthusiasm of the young wizards in the entire school has been aroused, especially the girls.
Girls were chuckling and whispering in the corridors, laughing loudly every time a boy walked by, exchanging ideas excitedly about what the boys would wear on Christmas night...
"I think my yellow dress robe is pretty good, and it matches your dark blue dress better. But to be honest, I still think wizards' dress robes are too antique, especially for witches.
It’s beautiful to wear an ordinary person’s evening gown. But as the dance partner of a warrior, I can only dance in this outfit.”
After Ryan left Professor McGonagall, he went directly to invite Hermione, and Hermione happily agreed. Afterwards, for the first time in the common room, she did not do anything related to study, but took Ryan to discuss something related to the dance.
.
"By the way, can you dance?" Ryan asked as if he suddenly thought of something. He did know some dancing, but it was not suitable for dancing at the dance.
"I know a little ballroom dancing, but I don't know how to dance for the wizard's dance. It seems that I have to ask Ginny." At this point, Hermione just saw a red-faced Ginny crawling into the public hall from outside.
In the lounge. Hermione walked over and said a few words, then invited Ginny over.
"The dance step for the dance? My mother taught me, it should be the waltz." At this point, Ginny glanced at Ryan and Hermione and asked, "You should know this, right?"
"This, I'm really not good at it." After entering the magical world, both of them neglected certain social skills, which resulted in their level of ballroom dancing being limited to the basics they learned in elementary school. Of course,
, this level is definitely not suitable for dancing at a Christmas dance.
"You two can't actually dance?" Ginny said a little surprised. After all, in her eyes, Ryan and Hermione were both very knowledgeable people. She really didn't expect that there were simple things that they couldn't do. "Okay.
, Harry doesn’t know how to dance anyway. When the time comes, you can just come and learn with him, I can teach you, this is not difficult at all."
"Harry?" Ryan opened his eyes wide.
"Yes, Harry came directly to me just now and invited me to be his dance partner." Ginny said happily.
No wonder Ginny was so excited when she came over just now. It turned out that Ginny's company finally made Harry feel a little better when he was depressed this year. When he learned that the ball was going to be held, he invited Ginny as soon as possible.
.
In the next few days, Ryan and the others learned to dance the waltz from Ginny whenever they had time. Fortunately, Ryan and Hermione had practiced assassin fighting methods and strengthened their bodies, so they learned to dance faster than Harry.
It was much faster. It didn’t take two or three days to learn how to dance the waltz.
Ginny also showed her side of a good wife and mother at this time. Even if Harry stepped on her feet many times, she did not complain. Instead, she gently pointed out where Harry was jumping wrong.
At this time, everyone began to invite dance partners more frequently. For example, Fred invited his Quidditch teammate Angelina, while Neville plucked up the courage to successfully invite Hannah Ellen to the book club party on Sunday.
Beau as his dance partner.
Of course, as a warrior, Ryan also received many invitations, but he declined them all. And Hermione also declined Krum's invitation to her in the library.
"There are a lot of girls queuing up to dance with him, and I don't want to annoy others because of this." After watching Krum leave, Hermione said to Ryan in a naughty tone. "Besides,
To me, being famous is far less attractive than having an interesting soul.”
The teachers and students of Hogwarts continue to show their desire to impress the guests of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and they seem determined to show off the castle in its best light this Christmas. The school is decorated with lights
Lay it out:
The handrails of the marble stairs are covered with icicles that will never melt, and the twelve Christmas trees customarily placed in the auditorium are decorated with all kinds of baubles, from shiny holly berries to various
Live golden owl hooting.
The only one who is not so harmonious is Peeves. He will get into those armors and fill in the second half of the Christmas carol that the armors can't sing with very indecent content. He will even provoke the students when they pass these armors.
"Okay, if you like it here, just stay in it." At the end of get out of class one day, Peeves once again sang certain lyrics to a group of first and second grade students. Ryan took out the words from his schoolbag. With the brushes and magic ink prepared in advance, Peeves quickly drew a bunch of runes on the armor while Peeves was in the armor. Soon Peeves found that he was trapped in the armor.
"Let me out quickly." Peeves knocked on the armor in a panic, but no matter how hard he tried, the armor remained firm.
"Don't worry, these seals can only keep you in for half a month. You can come out after Christmas." Ryan said calmly amidst Peeves' loud yelling.
"Well done, Ryan." Professor Sprout passed by just at this time, followed by Hagrid who was carrying a whole Christmas tree. "Professor Hagrid, please move this armor to the warehouse on the second floor.
Go inside, I think I can finally have some peace and quiet this Christmas."
