Chapter 299 Dance Partner (please subscribe, please collect, please ask for a ticket)

"Potter! Weasley! Can you concentrate a little more?" Professor McGonagall roared loudly from the podium.

This was the end of the Transfiguration class on Thursday afternoon, because the course content was over, and Ryan was summarizing the knowledge points in the class, but was shocked by Professor McGonagall's roar.

After criticizing Harry and the others who were as skinny as Pippi shrimp, Professor McGonagall began to announce the business.

"The Yule Ball is coming up - a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament, and a great opportunity for us to mingle with foreign guests. Well, the dance is only open to students from Year [-] onwards - but if you'd like, A junior student may be invited—”

The audience became restless in an instant. After all, for the students who are in adolescence, the dance party is definitely an exciting event.Lane could even hear laughter from some of the girls.

"Put on your dress robes," said Professor McGonagall sternly. "The ball will be held in the Great Hall at eight o'clock on Christmas evening and ends at twelve o'clock midnight."

Having said that, Professor McGonagall took a serious look at the excited students below. "Listen - the Yule Ball certainly gives us a chance to - um - let our hair down and relax. But that doesn't mean we'll relax our behavioral requirements for Hogwarts students. If someone from Gryffindor I would be very saddened that a student would bring disgrace to the school in any way."

Sure enough, as the real vice-principal in charge of Hogwarts (Dumbledore can at most take care of the general direction, and Professor McGonagall has been handling the specific affairs.) He will keep an eye on every student at any time.

After class, Professor McGonagall stopped Ryan and Harry and informed them that as warriors they need to dance, so it is important to find a good dance partner, and at the same time practice a little how to dance to avoid making a fool of themselves.

The two agreed again and again, and finally got rid of Professor McGonagall's nagging.

Now not only the Gryffindor students who are usually more outgoing, but the enthusiasm of the young wizards in the whole school has been mobilized, especially the girls.

Girls giggling and whispering in the corridors, laughing shrillly every time a boy walks by, exchanging excitedly about what the Santas will 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 the dress robes of wizards are too antique, especially for witches. The evening gowns of ordinary people are beautiful. But as the partner of the warriors, I can only dance in this attire."

After Ryan left from Professor McGonagall, he went directly to invite Hermione, and Hermione happily agreed.Afterwards, in the common room, for the first time, she did not have anything related to study, but pulled 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 dances, but they were not very suitable for dances.

"I can do a little ballroom dancing, but I don't know how to dance the wizard's dance. It seems that I have to ask Ginny." Speaking of this, Hermione just saw the flushed Ginny crawl into the public hall from the outside. lounge.After Hermione walked over and said a few words, she invited Ginny over.

"The dance steps of the dance? My mother taught me, it should be a waltz." At this point, Ginny glanced at Ryan and Hermione and asked, "You should know this, right?"

"Well, it's really not that good." 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 the Yule Ball.

"The two of you can't dance?" Ginny said in surprise. After all, in her eyes, Ryan and Hermione were very knowledgeable people, and she really didn't expect that there were simple things they couldn't do. "Well, Harry doesn't know how to dance anyway. Then you can come and learn with him, and I can teach you. It's not difficult at all."

"Harry?" Ryan's eyes widened.

"That's right, Harry came over to me just now and invited me to be his dance partner." Ginny said happily.

No wonder Ginny was so excited when he came over just now. It turns out that Ginny's company finally enlightened Harry when Harry was depressed this year.Ginny was invited immediately when she learned that a dance party was going to be held.

In the next few days, Ryan and the others would follow Ginny to learn how to dance the waltz whenever they had time.Fortunately, Ryan and Hermione learned to dance much faster than Harry because they had practiced the assassin's fighting methods before and had their bodies strengthened.It didn't take two or three days to learn how to dance the waltz.

And Ginny also showed the side of a good wife and mother at this time, even though Harry stepped on her feet many times, she didn't complain.Instead, he gently pointed out the wrong place for Harry to dance.

At this time, everyone began to invite dancing partners more frequently. For example, Fred invited his Quidditch teammate Angelina, and Neville summoned up the courage to invite Hannah Ayer at the reading party on Sunday. Beau as his partner.

Of course, Ryan also received many invitations as a warrior, but he declined them all.And Hermione also declined Krum's invitation to her in the library.

"There are a lot of girls lining up to dance with him, and I don't want to offend others because of this." After watching Krum leave, Hermione said to Ryan in a naughty tone. "Besides, to me, a famous name is far less attractive than an interesting soul."

Hogwarts students and teachers have shown a constant desire to impress Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's guests, and they seem determined to show the castle at its best this Christmas.The school is decorated with lights and festoons:
The handrails of the marble stairs were covered with icicles that never melted, and the twelve Christmas trees that were customary in the auditorium were decorated with knickknacks of all kinds, from glittering hollies to A live golden owl that stopped chirping.

The only thing that is not so harmonious is Peeves, who will drill into those armors and fill in the second half of the Christmas carols that the armors cannot sing with very indecent content, and even provoke the students when they pass through these armors.

"Well, stay here as long as you like it." One day after class, Peeves once again sang certain lyrics to be blocked to a group of first and second graders.Ryan took out the brush and magic ink prepared in advance from his schoolbag, and quickly drew a bunch of runes on the armor while Peeves was in the armor.It didn't take long for Peeves to discover that he was trapped inside the armor.

"Let me out quickly." Peeves knocked on the armor in a panic, but no matter how hard he tried, the armor remained unmoved.

"Don't worry, these seals can only keep you inside for half a month. You can come out after Christmas." Amidst Peeves' loud curses, Ryan said calmly.

"Nice job, Ryan." At this moment, Professor Sprout passed by, followed by Hagrid who was carrying a whole Christmas tree. "Professor Hagrid, please move this piece of armor to the warehouse on the second floor. I think this Christmas will finally be quieter."
