Chapter 902 Dance Partner
As soon as Albert woke up, he was confused by the good plan of three good roommates.
What is all this?
He was still in a hazy sleep and couldn't hear clearly for a while. The voices of the three people echoed in his ears, which made him tire of it.
"What the hell, won't you wait until my head is clearer?" Albert covered his yawn and got up from the bed sleepily.
After going into the bathroom to wash up, he followed the three of them downstairs for lunch. By the way, they talked about the topic just now. Albert learned from them that he had received more than a hundred Christmas gifts.
When I came back in the early morning, I also noticed a lot of Christmas gifts piled under the bed, but I didn't expect the number to be so shocking.
"The girls at school sent you a lot of sweets and snacks with added ingredients. There were more than thirty packages of chocolates, cakes, candies and the like. Lee Jordan has tested it and found that there is indeed a love agent in it. And..." Fred and George both glanced at Lee Jordan secretly, trying not to laugh.
“The effect is amazing.”
"If you really take out that pile of desserts and share them with others, you will probably be beaten to death by a group of people." Albert looked at the three people with great interest and couldn't help but shook his head.
The image of a group of people being collectively intoxicated is terrifying to think about.
"It's okay. At worst, we will spend the next Christmas holiday in the Room of Requirement, and let the house elves help deliver food. After the Christmas holiday, everyone should be relieved." The Weasley twins said about the next Christmas I already have my own plans for the vacation, and obviously I want to make a big splash because of this.
"Okay, if you want to do that, then go ahead and do it. Anyway, after the Christmas dance, I will be away from school for a while." Albert shrugged, saying that he didn't want to care about it. The three of them thought How to do it, just do it.
In any case, life is endless, and death is endless.
As for Ludo Bagman, there is nothing wrong with sending the guy a gift. According to what Black revealed in the letter, Ludo Bagman still has no intention of paying back the large sum of galleons he owes. , so far not a single knut has been returned.
Being chased by the goblins of Gringotts to collect debt?
Bagman has become accustomed to it now. He often plays hide-and-seek with the goblins of Gringotts. Even if he is caught, he doesn't have a Knut in his pocket. The goblins not only give Bagman a hard lesson, but also take some There was nothing he could do.
Ask the Ministry of Magic for help?
The goblins have naturally protested to the Ministry of Magic. Ludo Bagman is also the Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic. However, the Ministry of Magic regretfully stated that the money owed is Bagman's private matter and they have no control over it. There's nothing I can do about it.
The goblins were so angry that they almost died.
“The school has changed so much!”
Albert discovered that the handrails of the marble stairs were actually covered with icicles that would never melt, and some beautiful decorations could be seen everywhere.
It seems that the professors at Hogwarts want to impress the guests of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang by turning the entire castle into a paradise of ice and snow.
“I heard that the prefects and the student union president were called for help, and Shanna has been looking for you everywhere for a while.” George reminded with a smile, “You’d better think of an excuse for yourself.”
After walking into the auditorium, the four people were quickly attracted by the food piled on the long table. There were a lot of turkeys, Christmas puddings and wizard shortbread cookies. Everyone enjoyed a rich lunch here.
In the afternoon, Albert went back to the dormitory to sort out his Christmas gifts. He needed to find out what gifts his old friends had sent so that he could mention them when he wrote back next time.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan went to send "Christmas gifts" to Ludo Bagman and a few annoying Slytherin students. By the way, they didn't forget to send them to Ron and Percy as well. One, in Fred's words: Poor little Ronnie barely received any decent Christmas gifts, and Percy could only spend Christmas alone in the office and needed to give him some comfort.
Albert stayed in his dormitory all afternoon, checking the Christmas gifts according to the list provided by Fred, George and Lee Jordan, and also opened the Christmas gifts that the house elves had singled out for him.
Nia gave a pair of exquisite gray wool gloves, the Flamel couple gave a brick-thick book, Dumbledore gave Albert an old notebook, and Mog gave some copies of fragments of ancient runes. Bard gave a copy of "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells".
As for Lee Jordan, he still has the same Bibi's Braised Beans. Fred and George gave away a hardcover version of "Practical Home Magic". By the way, they plan to give away a hardcover copy next Christmas. Edition of Common Magical Ailments.
The Weasley twins' idea is that since Albert doesn't need a Christmas gift anyway, they should give him something that may come in handy in the future, such as the books they always have at home. By the way, the two of them never forget to look down on each other. , Lee Jordan who always gives away a box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans, although Lee Jordan also despises them for only giving one gift.
Most of the greeting cards were thrown away by him after being glanced at; notes and other things needed to be put away separately; as for the pile of snacks and desserts given by the girls, Albert left them all to his three good roommates. , and some scarves, socks, gloves and other things. By the way, Dobby the house elf knitted a pair of brightly colored wool socks, and Albert decided to give them to Hermione another day.
“Have you not finished packing your Christmas gifts yet?”
The dormitory door was pushed open again, and Fred, George and Lee Jordan walked in. Their clothes were wet, and there were still some unmelted snowflakes falling on their shoulders.
“Going to have a snowball fight.” Albert asked casually
“I wanted to ask you to play together.”
The three of them looked at each other. They took out a snowball from nowhere and threw it at the back of Albert's head. As a result, the snowball bounced back and hit the three of them in the face.
“Damn it, you don’t always have a defensive bracelet or something like that on you.” Lee Jordan complained as he wiped the snow off his face, “I remember that thing shouldn’t work on things.”
“I’ll tell you that your plan is unreliable.”
“Ahem, let’s change into formal clothes too.”
Fred put the snow on Tom with a smile. The fat cat glanced at Fred with an idiot look, stood up and shook off the snowflakes on his body, opened his mouth and yawned, and squatted back in the cat's nest again. Continue to look out the window and think about Mao Sheng.
"I think you should have agreed to let Fengya Wizard Clothing Store customize a ball gown for you." After seeing Albert's simple-style dress, Lee Jordan said with regret, "I will definitely become the whole person by then." The center of attention at the ball, all the girls were fascinated."
"This dress doesn't look like the one bought at Madam Malkin's Robe Shop." George said to Li Jordan after checking the fabric of the dress, "Didn't you find that Albert's dress is obviously more delicate than ours?"
“Where did you buy it?” Fred asked curiously.
“It was given by someone else.” Albert looked at himself in front of the long mirror in the corner. “It can automatically adapt to the height and weight of the wearer!”
“Why doesn’t anyone give me such good things?”
"Don't be depressed, no one will care what you wear unless you go to the Yule Ball in just underwear." Fred patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder and consoled him. The twins were both wearing dark blue dresses.
When they went downstairs, there were a bunch of students wearing colorful ceremonial robes in the common room. As soon as Albert appeared, he immediately attracted a crowd of girls.
“Sorry, I have to leave first, see you later.”
Albert had no intention of continuing to stand here and let people watch. He greeted Lee Jordan and walked towards the entrance of the common room.
"see you later."
Fred and Lee Jordan still had to wait for their dance partners in the common room.
“Have you told Luna where to meet?”
After leaving the common room, Albert asked the unhappy Lee Jordan.
"In the foyer, where are you? Where are you going to pick up your girlfriend." Lee Jordan blinked and asked.
“It’s a dance partner,” Albert corrected.
“Is there a difference?”
"Yes, there is a literal difference." Albert glanced at his pocket watch and felt that the time was a bit early. He took out the wand from his pocket and cast a camouflage spell on himself to reduce his presence to prevent being watched on the road. .
“Everyone likes to be famous…” Lee Jordan muttered under his breath.
"You can ask Potter." Albert said, "He definitely doesn't want to be famous now."
After arriving near the foyer, Albert separated from Lee Jordan. He had already found Katrina in the crowd. Regardless of her dress or appearance, Albert saw Isobel in Katrina. .
“You—well—are very beautiful.” Albert said unnaturally.
“You don’t seem to like it?” Katrina raised her eyebrows.
"No, I like it very much." Albert said helplessly, "But you are you and she is her."
"You don't have to be sorry. Isobel and I are sisters. We actually like the same things and have similar aesthetics." Katrina heard the meaning of Albert's words and said calmly, "Also, I am very Glad to hear you say that."
As soon as the two of them were talking, they had already attracted the envious and jealous eyes of a large number of girls. Lee Jordan also brought Luna over here. This little Ravenclaw girl was wearing a lake blue dress. It looks beautiful too.
“I suddenly understood why you said the Davis invitation failed.” Lee Jordan also recognized Katrina. After all, they often took classes together, “I thought you would...”
"It's too noisy here." Albert interrupted, "Let's go out for a walk. It's still some time before eight o'clock."
The two walked out of the foyer. Albert found that the lawn in front of the castle had been turned into a cave, with little fairy lights shining inside. He also saw the statue of Santa Claus and his reindeer.
“Is this your dance partner?”
Yania, who was wearing a red dress, walked up to them, looked Katrina up and down, and said to Albert: "I really don't understand why you rejected me. Are sisters more interesting?"
“You always have a strong attraction to pretty girls.” Katrina said with a frown.
“Where is your dance partner?” Albert asked expressionlessly.
"I haven't found a dance partner, and I don't think it's necessary." Yaniya looked in a certain direction and mocked: "I don't need to be like someone who can only find one after being rejected."
The two of them followed Yanila's gaze and saw the stunningly beautiful Fleur wearing a silver-gray satin robe. Accompanying her was Roger Davis, the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
Roger Davis noticed the gazes of several people and looked sideways. His eyes fell on Katrina, and then moved to Albert. His expression suddenly felt strange. He remembered what Albert said that day. Do you know who Katrina’s dance partner is?
However, Davis doesn’t care now, since he has found a more beautiful dance partner anyway. To be honest, sometimes he couldn't even believe his luck.
“A poor guy who was so fascinated by Delacour that his brain was out of control.” Yania said contemptuously, watching the two people leaving.
After Yaniya left, Lee Jordan and Luna appeared out of nowhere.
"You really hit the mark. I doubt you knew about this from the beginning. By the way, Professor McGonagall is looking for warriors. It's time for you to go over and gather."
"The time is a little earlier than I expected, let's go there!" Albert asked Katrina to hold his arm. As soon as the two entered the foyer, they heard Professor McGonagall's voice: "Mr. Anderson, please bring your dance partner over here!"
The two walked towards Professor McGonagall and merged into the team of warriors.
Fleur's dance partner was Davis, Harry's dance partner was Parvati, and Krum's dance partner was indeed Hermione.
History goes around in a circle and then turns back again. Sometimes the trajectory of history can easily turn back again if there is no forcible intervention and change.
Of course, if he took the initiative to invite Hermione to be his dance partner, there would definitely be nothing wrong with Krum.
Fleur Delacour's eyes fell on Katrina. After looking up and down, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.
“I think Yanila must be furious,” she said.
“What does this mean?” Katrina asked, tilting her head.
“Girls always like to compare with each other who is more beautiful.”
Albert originally thought that the warriors would enter the venue surrounded by everyone, but Professor McGonagall asked them to wait by the door and let other students go in first.
After everyone was seated in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the lined up warriors and their dance partners to follow her in, and walked towards a large round table at the front of the auditorium where the judges were seated.
The people in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically. Maybe this is an honor given to the warriors, but not every warrior likes this. At least, Albert's face was expressionless, Krum's face was gloomy, Fleur didn't react at all, and Harry was even more serious, as if he was always paying attention to his steps, for fear of accidentally tripping and causing embarrassment.
