Chapter 906 Gryffindor lacks courage
Albert left.
The girls finally managed to extract the bad news from Klum'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 the reason 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 the people 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.
So, 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.” Laurena said gloomily.
“You are thinking too much.” Katrina glanced at these delusional girls and felt it was inexplicably ridiculous, but she did not laugh in the end and just said calmly, “Albert has always liked Isobel.”
“You’re not 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.
The surroundings fell into a longer silence.
is that useful?
No, but no one would say that people usually like to look for excuses from others rather than 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 planned 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, the guy had great powers.
On the other side, Harry, who had just eavesdropped on the conversation 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 in shock 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."
Hermione didn't look at Ron at all, and simply regarded him as air. She looked at Harry and continued, "As long as you put the golden egg into the water and open it, you can know its secret."
“But why did Anderson tell me?”
Harry actually agreed with Ron's words. After all, Albert had cost Sirius a galleons through the first project.
"I suggest you ask him about this question yourself." Hermione frowned when she saw Harry's reaction and said, "Also, I remember he also gave you a hint on the first project."
“Sirius paid,” said Ron 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 attitudes. 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 dwell on the matter, but told Hermione the news they had just overheard.
Hermione didn't find Hagrid to be a half-giant as scary as Ron did.
"Actually, I already knew he was a half-giant." Hermione shrugged and said, "To be honest, we don't have to be nervous about this."
"You have no idea how dangerous giants are." Ron said sharply, "Giants are fierce and dangerous. They are born to kill 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 think there was 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.
"He would be very angry if he knew Hagrid didn't listen to his warning." Hermione was a little worried about what would happen next.
“What’s there to be angry about?” Ron disagreed.
"Honestly, I think Madam Maxime is very sensible. 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 means that the leakage of this matter may 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 calling for 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 while, 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 the courage to ask Qiu Chang to dance, and spent the Yule Ball in regret.
