Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 898 Rejected Invitation

As Christmas approaches, the festive atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle becomes more and more intense. Students everywhere are talking about the Yule Ball, and everyone seems a little too excited.

Boys like to get together and discuss which girl is more beautiful. The topic they talked about the most was Miss Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons. They speculated on who she would choose as her dance partner. Some guys who didn't take it too seriously even wanted to encourage their friends to invite Miss Delacour.

The situation of the girls is not much better. They suddenly like to appear in the corridor in groups. The friends around them seem to give them great courage. Whenever a boy walks by, the girls will laugh loudly. , unabashedly talking about and evaluating a certain boy.

Most of the time, the girls like to compare notes, talk about what to wear on Christmas night, or gossip about Albert.

Since Albert announced the news that he already had a dance partner very early, he successfully avoided the trouble of being surrounded by a group of girls competing to be his dance partner. However, the handsome guy Digory, who was in the same class as him, was not so lucky. .

Just as the boys who were jealous of Digory commented: Digory is the little boy in the cream, and the girls happen to like the little boy in the cream, so Digory has been enjoying the trouble of being invited by the girls recently, even though Digory claimed more than once that he has He had a partner, but like Albert, no one knew who his partner was, so the girls thought it was Diggory's pretext.

"Handsome and handsome people can really do whatever they want."

Looking at Digory who was surrounded by a group of girls, Fred turned his head and said to George next to him, "Some people are worried that they can't find a dance partner, but Digory has too many partners to dazzle him."

"Actually, I'm more curious, why no girls came to invite Albert?" George felt that Albert would be more popular with the girls than Digory. After all, he was a warrior, handsome enough, and famous. It makes no sense for people to take the initiative to invite Albert.

"Because I have a girlfriend and I have found a dance partner very early." Albert looked at Digory who was surrounded by girls, and suddenly felt that it would be good to have someone to help attract fire.

In fact, no girl came to Albert. It was mainly Lee Jordan who helped spread the news. Albert invited Miss McDougal as his dance partner.

When everyone hears Miss McDougal, they naturally think of Albert's girlfriend. Those who have girlfriends will naturally find them as dance partners. This fact is so normal.

"By the way, do you know who Digory's dance partner is?" George asked curiously, "Or does that guy still haven't found a dance partner yet?"

"Of course it's his girlfriend." Albert showed an expression that said nothing could be said.

"That guy actually has a girlfriend?"

"Never heard him mention it."

"I haven't heard of anyone Digory is dating either."

The three of them all showed surprised expressions, as if such a thing happened.

"Digory is very handsome and excellent in all aspects. It's unusual to not have a girlfriend now." Albert looked at the three of them with suspicious eyes and said, "Are you envious of Cedric? If you are envious, just find a girlfriend as soon as possible."

"I only envy his..."

Before Fred could finish his words, he was forcibly interrupted by George. He changed the subject and asked, "Who is Digory's girlfriend?"

"Qiu Zhang!" Albert reminded, "I remember at the last defense association, Cedric's Boggart was Qiu Zhang. At that time, the Boggart Qiu Zhang said that he didn't like him."

"No wonder Hufflepuff rarely wins the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. It turns out that Cedric is secretly giving in to his girlfriend." Fred couldn't help complaining, "He actually really Got the Ravenclaw Seeker."

"They started secretly dating at the end of last semester."

When Albert just passed the corner, he couldn't help but slow down and glanced at the other side of the corner, where someone was trying to invite others to the dance.

"Do you think Davis can pull it off?"

Lee Jordan blinked at Roger Davis and Katrina McDougal on the other side of the corridor, his inner gossip spirit beginning to burn brightly.

"No." Albert said calmly.

"I remember Katrina seemed to like you." George said suddenly.

"I remember that your girlfriend seemed to be her sister." Fred touched Albert with his elbow and said, "The sisters are all interested in you."

"Shh, be quiet." Lee Jordan made a shushing gesture and helped Albert out to avoid embarrassment.

"I asked Laurena, and she said you don't have a dance partner at all." Davis's voice came over. Although he still tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, they could not hear the excitement in his voice.

"No, I already have a dance partner." Katrina calmly refused.

"Who are you going with?" Davis asked reluctantly.

"You'll find out when you wait for the Yule Ball." Katrina naturally had no intention of revealing this matter, otherwise if this matter spread, she would be annoyed by the girls.

"I suddenly felt that Davis was so pitiful." Fred glanced secretly at Albert beside him, but he didn't expect that Albert's words hit the mark.

"I think Davis should have invited McDougal earlier. Now most of the beautiful girls have been invited away." Lee Jordan also glanced at Albert secretly and asked: "You must know Katrina's Who is the dance partner?"

"Yeah, I know." Albert nodded.

Yes, how could he not know about this kind of thing?

"You are actually better informed than me." Lee Jordan joked with interest, thinking that he might have guessed something.

"Oh, who is that person?" Davis appeared out of nowhere and asked in a depressed mood.

"That's her private matter." Albert said, reaching out and patting Davis on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to find a more beautiful dance partner."

"Wow!" Fred screamed dramatically.

"A prettier partner?" George added.

Davis said with great gloom: "There are not many more beautiful dance partners than McDougal."

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to find it. You have to trust Albert. His words are always accurate." George reached out and patted Davis on the shoulder, suppressing a smile and said: "He just said you would invite Catri Na failed, you really failed."

The veins on Davis' forehead trembled, feeling that he was being teased by the Weasley twins. He snorted dissatisfied, pushed away George's hand on his shoulder and walked away.

"This guy doesn't believe you." Fred looked like Davis was really stupid.

"If I were him, I would definitely think that you are teasing me." Albert shook his head and said, "I always feel that today may not be a good time to invite others to the dance."

"When you said that, I suddenly felt that the others were so unlucky." Fred mentally mourned for the others for three seconds.

It turns out that Albert's crow's mouth is really powerful.

The four of them were just about to go to the lobby to have dinner. When passing by the third floor, they encountered a similar scene. However, this time the protagonists are Harry and Cho Chang.

When they passed the corridor, the two had just separated.

However, as long as Harry Potter looked lost, we couldn't guess that he just wanted to invite Qiu Zhang as his dance partner, but was rejected by the other party.

However, this is a matter of course.

After all, after Qiu Zhang has a boyfriend, he will definitely not consider other boys when looking for a dance partner.

Harry Potter didn't know about this. He was still regretting why he didn't invite Qiu Chang earlier, instead of waiting for Qiu Chang to be invited away like now, and regretting it alone here.

He hates this feeling.

When Harry recovered from the bad news and was about to return to the Gryffindor common room, he saw four people standing not far away, looking at him with careful eyes.

Harry's face suddenly turned red. His invitation to Qiu Zhang was seen by the four Alberts, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Albert even reminded himself a long time ago, but he was still screwed up.

When Harry lowered his head and was about to leave, George's comforting voice came to his ears: "Don't be sad Harry, you will definitely be able to find a better dance partner."

"You're right, I should have taken action earlier." Harry stopped and said to Albert expressionlessly.

"Actually, it's useless even if you take action earlier." Albert hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Harry the truth: "Qiu Zhang and Digory started dating last year."

Harry: "..."

At this moment, Harry felt as if his head suddenly exploded with a bang, and his mind went blank. He walked forward slowly with a stiff expression, unable to listen to what others were saying anymore.

"What's wrong with Harry?" Fred looked at Harry's lonely back and said, "Are you broken in love?"

"Well, I'm in love." Albert said carelessly, "That's the bad thing about having a secret love. It's easy to fall out of love, so if you have someone you like, you must confess your love as soon as possible."

"Then you can fall out of love as soon as possible?" Li Qiaodan looked strangely, as if recalling some bad memory.

The next moment, a burst of laughter broke out around him.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it." Fred and George wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with their fingers.

Albert covered the smile at the corner of his mouth with his hand.

"Well, if you like Angelina, then hurry up and seize this opportunity to become your girlfriend." Lee Jordan sighed helplessly, "I have given up anyway. Everyone has to be a visual animal and likes to be handsome. Or a beautiful person, no wonder Lockhart can become famous just because of that face. Sometimes I really envy you and Digory."

"Ahem, don't be discouraged. Appearances don't represent everything. Many girls like Klum, more because of his fame. If you are a warrior, many girls will also like you." Albert comforted road.

"I'm not a warrior." Lee Jordan said quietly.

"I know, but you can be famous in other fields, such as wizard cards. That day wizard cards became popular all over the world. You will definitely become famous with them. By then, you are afraid that no beautiful girl will like you." Albert seriously cheated. He said, "Don't think I'm fooling you."

"Isn't it?" Li Jordan curled his lips dissatisfied. If it were before, he might have been deceived, but that's impossible now.

"Of course not. As long as you have Galleons in your pocket and do something good, you will become very confident. Can't you still find a beautiful girl by then?"

"I think what Albert said makes sense." Fred and George both secretly wiped away cold sweats. They discovered that Albert's ability to deceive people was getting stronger and stronger.

After successfully fooling Li Jordan, the four of them continued towards the hall. When passing by the foyer, they found that it was packed with people for some reason, or rather crowded with boys, and the big boys were secretly looking at them. a certain direction.

The four of them followed everyone's gaze and found Beauxbatons' warrior Fleur talking to Diggory.

"Didn't you say that Diggory's dance partner is Qiu Zhang? From what I've seen, it seems like he's planning to invite Fleur to the dance?" Fred looked towards Fleur's position and couldn't help but say.

"Well, Diggory may have been under charm magic." Albert looked at the two people over there with interest and speculated, "Miss Delacour has part of the Veela blood and is very good at charm magic."

"Do you think Digory will give up Cho Chang and become Miss Delacour's dance partner?" Lee Jordan felt that the whole thing was becoming more and more interesting.

However, something more interesting happened.

While everyone was watching quietly, a red-haired boy broke into their sight.

"Miss Delacour, do you want to attend the Yule Ball with me?" Ron Weasley suddenly walked towards Fleur and invited her to the ball in person.

The next moment, there was an eerie silence at the entrance to the foyer.

Everyone turned their attention to the red-haired man and were stunned by his actions.

Even Fred and George were stunned by this scene. They simply couldn't imagine that Ron could muster up the courage to invite Fleur.

After hearing Ron's invitation, Fleur just looked up at Ron without saying a word, just looking at him, and then quietly released the charm magic.

The next moment, Ron suddenly came to his senses, seemed to realize what happened, and quickly turned around and ran away.

"Hermione said that Ron wanted to find a beautiful girl as his dance partner, but he didn't expect to actually invite Fleur Delacour to the ball with him." Ginny appeared out of nowhere and looked at Ron sympathetically. En's back.

"No one says not to invite Miss Delacour."

Of course Albert knew that Ron was unfortunately affected by the charm magic, so he took the initiative to invite him, but the scene of Ron's death just now was so interesting that he couldn't help but curl up his lips.

After being interrupted by Ron, Digory also came to his senses and realized that the situation was not good. He quickly said: "Sorry, I have a dance partner" and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Looking at Digory's leaving figure, Fleur frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably irritated, and turned around and left.

Suddenly a burst of laughter erupted in the foyer.

The story of Ron Weasley's invitation to Fleur Delacour was widely circulated, and many students found it very interesting, especially those who had witnessed the scene with their own eyes, and would tell others about it with added embarrassment. .

In short, Ron Weasley became the object of people's attention, but the reason really made him unhappy.

Slytherin's Draco Malfoy even used this incident to taunt him: the toad wanted to eat swan meat.
