The school nurse Madam Pomfrey said angrily to the door: "No noise here! My God, the patients need quiet!" The noise stopped immediately, and after a while, a tall figure walked in. It was Viktor Krum wearing a red robe of Durmstrang. Madam Pomfrey looked at him warily, as if he was going to detonate a bomb in the school hospital or something. "What is he doing here?" Ron let out a weird cry. Krum nodded to Harry on the bed and said hello. He ignored Ron and looked at Hermione and said hesitantly: "Hermione... Hermione! Can you come out for a moment? I have something to tell you..."

Ron was surprised and said: "No way? What do you two have to talk about?"

Hermione ignored him and stood up and said cheerfully: "Okay."

Then, in the surprised eyes of Harry and Ron, Hermione followed Krum out of the ward.

Ron looked at Harry in surprise: "Krum doesn't want to ask Hermione to be his dance partner?"

Harry said: "Uh... I don't think this is likely. How could Krum like Hermione?"

Harry tried to recall in his mind and found that he couldn't associate Hermione with the word beautiful.

It's not that Hermione is not beautiful. In terms of facial features, Hermione is very outstanding.

It's just that they are too familiar with each other and don't look at each other from that perspective at all.

He comforted Ron, "Even if Krum does have this idea, so what?"

"What?" Ron screamed, "Hermione is our friend! She can't be someone else's dance partner!"

"Harry, you know what situation we are in now?"

"The news of the Christmas ball has been circulating for a long time, and we haven't found a dance partner yet."

"I was thinking that if I couldn't find a dance partner, I would invite..."

Hermione just came back at this time and asked straightforwardly: "Who to invite?"

Ron stopped talking immediately and said cautiously: "...Invite you?"

Hermione glanced at him and sneered: "So I am your last insurance? You come to me because you can't find a dance partner, right?"

"It's a pity that I can't use the cutting spell to split myself in half, so that I can satisfy the wishes of both of you at the same time, half for each person, just right."

Harry raised his hands in surrender: "I swear I never had such an idea, I have someone I want to invite."

"Oh? Really? Who is it?"

Before Harry answered, Ron hurriedly asked: "What did Krum want to talk to you about just now?"

"You guessed it, Weasley." Hermione said, "He wants to invite me to the dance with him."

"What?!"

Ron and Harry were shocked at the same time.

Ron could no longer care about anything else, and asked in disbelief: "Did you agree?"

"No."

Hermione's answer surprised the two even more.

Ron didn't understand again: "Why not? I mean, that's Krum, but I still don't understand why he would..."

Seeing that Hermione's face was not right, Ron became more and more flustered, "I mean, I thought you would want to go to the dance with me or Harry..."

"Don't understand why he invited me, right?" Hermione asked back, "Ron, it took you so long to find out that there are certain characteristics in me, but it doesn't mean that others will take that long."

"I rejected him just because I don't want to go to the dance with just anyone. I don't know him at all and I'm not interested in him."

"If no one is right to invite me, I'd rather stay in the common room."

"I won't be your dance partner. I'm not anyone's backup."

Ron stuttered.

He wanted to muster up the courage to invite Hermione, but he felt that this would play into Hermione's hands, so he could only say: "Come on, you don't want to miss the ball, right? After all, the Christmas ball only comes once."

"Since Harry has a target and you rejected Krum, I think you can only choose me."

Hermione said bluntly: "No, Ron, I made it very clear that I will not go with you."

"How can you think I will accept your invitation when you look at me like this?"

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You only want to invite those beautiful girls, right?"

Ron's face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute.

He wanted to say that Hermione actually

Very beautiful, this is a fact he just discovered recently.

But now he can't say it anyway.

Harry asked curiously: "Who do you want to go to the dance with?"

Hermione thought for a moment and said: "At least we have to be friends, of similar age, and he has to have something I admire, have the same interests as me, be interested in books, and have good grades..."

Harry interrupted: "It sounds like you are talking about Andy?"

"Huh?"

Hermione's face turned red uncontrollably.

When she said this just now, she was imagining Andy's image in her mind.

Although, Andy and she are not very familiar with each other now.

The two of them only had some intersections because of Harry.

But somehow, since the end of the first project of the Triwizard Tournament, Andy's face often appeared in Hermione's mind.

Before the registration for the Goblet of Fire was closed, Andy was the only one who agreed with her and realized that the age limit of the Goblet of Fire could not be broken by conventional means.

Andy is also the smartest wizard of the same age group Hermione has ever met.

He was able to see through Harry, who was wearing an invisible cloak, not by magic, but by logical reasoning.

Not to mention Andy's powerful strength.

The violent lightning and raging flames on the dragon fighting field, as well as the meteor-like meteors that pierced the sky, this scene has been forever left in the memories of countless people.

Hermione remembered it very clearly.

In comparison, Krum's invitation seemed insignificant at this moment.

Hermione rejected him straightforwardly without even a trace of hesitation.

Hermione denied: "...Of course not, that's it, I have to go, I still have to go to the library."

She was too guilty to dare to look at Harry, and just left the ward.

Outside the school hospital, Krum still didn't leave. Seeing Hermione coming out, he wanted to try to invite Hermione again.

As a result, this time, Hermione refused more decisively. Hermione waved to him, didn't even look at him, and walked straight out of the corridor.

After Hermione left, Ron said frustratedly: "I thought it was foolproof, but now Hermione won't agree to let us dance. Who should I find as a partner?"

Harry didn't care what Ron said and asked: "Ron, do you know who Andy invited as a partner?"

Ron was stunned: "I don't know, I haven't seen him recently."

Harry jumped out of bed in a hurry: "I have to go too, otherwise it will be too late."

Ron shouted behind him twice, but failed to stop him. He sat alone in the ward confused: "What happened to you two today?!"
