The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 404 The Loyal Gryffindor
December brought high winds and sleet to Hogwarts, and everyone wanted to stay by the fireplace and not go anywhere.

But even if the weather is so bad, it still can't stop Durmstrang's hunks. They will still swim in the black lake shirtless against the bitter cold wind.

Especially for the famous Bulgarian macho Viktor Krum, there will always be a group of nympho around the Black Lake, drooling and screaming at Krum's strong figure.

The twins were not idle either. The first project allowed the two brothers to make a lot of money, and there were too few people who bet on Ada's victory.

Having received the bonus, Fred and George opened a second market. Fleur lost [-] to [-], Harry and Krum lost [-] to [-], and Ada lost [-] to [-].

Logically speaking, betting on Ada is a steady profit, and the number of people betting on Ada has also increased, but everyone seems to prefer things with high risks and high returns.Coupled with the unscrupulous eccentricity of the dog Karkaroff, Krum's approval rating is far ahead.

Furong, well, this time Furong became the least. Although the odds are extremely high, everyone still maintained their sanity.Only a very small number of people choose to take the slant of the sword, eager to "get rich overnight".

In addition, Fred and George's small business has been booming recently.On the night of the end of the first project, Neville "mistakenly ate" the twins' transformation biscuit and turned into a canary.

This amazing food, which only costs seven Sickles, aroused the interest of the students immediately, and orders poured in.

During this period of time, Fred and George were full of happy complaints every day, complaining that they now had no free time at all, were busy completing orders all the time, and became slaves to work.

On this day, a notice suddenly appeared on the bulletin board in the Gryffindor common room, which read: Tomorrow (Saturday) at 02:30 pm, students in grades four and above will gather in the large classroom on the third floor.

The whole college didn't know what was going on, why Professor McGonagall gathered students from the fourth grade and above.Some people came to ask Ada what was going on, but she didn't know much, only that Professor McGonagall seemed to want to announce something.

On Saturday afternoon, the Gryffindor students gathered in the big classroom early, waiting for Professor McGonagall to appear.

The desks in the classroom are stacked against the classroom wall, and the chairs are placed in a row on both sides of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle of the classroom.To the surprise of the students, there was also a phonograph taller than a person in the classroom.

The students were discussing in low voices, all curious about the phonograph in the classroom, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Professor McGonagall's gourd.Around 02:30, Professor McGonagall arrived, accompanied by the school administrator, Argus Filch.

Seeing their headmaster appear, the cubs immediately shut their mouths, and the classroom quickly became quiet.At the request of Professor McGonagall, boys and girls stood on both sides of the classroom, and the male and female prefects began to count the number of people.

Professor McGonagall stood in the middle of the open space, while Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris, stood by the gramophone.

Professor McGonagall said: "The Christmas Ball is coming. This is a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity to enhance communication. The ball is only open to students in the fourth grade and above. Of course, the lower grades are also welcome if they are invited. join……"

Someone in the girls' queue let out a smirk, and Ada immediately followed the sound. The laughter came from Lavender Brown, a fourth-grader, a silly girl with a love brain.

Ada didn't mean anything else when she looked over, she just felt that the laughter was a bit harsh, and wanted to see who was laughing.

But Ada seemed to have forgotten how she treated the fire dragon before. She just looked at it, but it surprised Parvati Patil, who was also in the fourth grade.

Patil quickly poked Lavender Brown beside her vigorously, and the silly girl in love also saw Ada, and she immediately lowered her head, desperately restraining herself from laughing out loud.

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

Professor McGonagall looked at her classmates deliberately, and said: "The Yule Ball will undoubtedly give us a chance to - um - let our hair down and relax."

This time, not only Lavender Brown wanted to laugh, everyone in the classroom wanted to laugh, and many of them covered their mouths with their hands.

Ada also wanted to laugh. Having known Professor McGonagall for so long, Ada has almost never seen Professor McGonagall loose her hair, and it is always tied into a tight bun.

After laughing, I was worried immediately. Maybe I can try dancing six, but I really can't dance Ada.

It is completely a blind spot of knowledge. Adding up two lifetimes, the only dance Ada has imitated is Grandma Zhao's tango.Every time there was any cultural event in the previous life, Ada was a salted fish shouting 666 with everyone under the stage.

On the eighteenth year of that year, at the prom of my alma mater, I stood like a minion...

There were murmurs in the classroom that a dress gown was needed on the pre-start list, something that had never been included before.

The Weasley boys also remembered what their mother said during the summer vacation. She hoped that everyone could go back to the Burrow for Christmas together, but I'm afraid everyone would not want to go back.

"For nearly a thousand years, Gryffindor College has been highly respected in the wizarding world, and I will never allow you to tarnish its reputation overnight." Professor McGonagall said seriously: "If you jump up and down on the day of the ball and make a lot of ugly faces , spend the next school year with me every night."

As soon as these words came out, the Gryffindors in the classroom immediately put away their previous smiles, and everyone's face was full of reluctance.Just kidding, I have to stay with a very serious head teacher every night, who can stand this!

Because he was so worried, no one listened to Professor McGonagall's next words, "A swan sleeps in every girl's heart, and a lion is eager to try in every boy's heart."

But soon the classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, because Professor McGonagall was looking for a male classmate as a dance partner to teach everyone some basic dance steps for the Christmas ball.

Almost all the girls were pursing their lips and giggling, while the boys all lowered their heads and pretended to be ostriches.Professor McGonagall scanned the boys' queue, and finally this glorious task fell on Ron.

The dazed Ron stood up reluctantly, and before he could stand up straight, he was pushed out by Harry beside him.Well done, Harry, for redefining what a friend is and what a bond is.

How to write the word "righteousness"?I am the lamb,

Under the command of Professor McGonagall, Mr. Ronald Weasley tremblingly supported the Dean's waist, and began to demonstrate the dance.

The dance steps were not complicated, but Ada was dazzled by seeing them. As soon as she memorized the movement of this step, she forgot how to dance the last step.Learning is faster than forgetting. After Professor McGonagall and Ron finished demonstrating, Ada didn't learn anything, and looked lonely.

Especially after getting hands on with her partner, Ada's legs were like tweezers that couldn't be broken apart, and she stepped on her partner's shoes several times.Ada felt that her body might have a mind of its own...

The boys and girls gathered together, twirling, jumping, and closing their eyes, while Ada was like a dull log or a human top, turning around under the control of the dance partner.

Just when everyone was addicted to dancing and couldn't extricate themselves, Professor McGonagall found Ida and Harry, which also shattered the last hope in Ida's heart.

Professor McGonagall said: "Traditionally, the dance is started by the warriors and their partners. So, Ada, Harry, you two will go first with your partners."

Ada tried to struggle, she was really not good at dancing, she probably wanted to make a fool of herself.A dead fellow is not a poor fellow, Harry, don't blame my sister for being cruel!

"Uh, professor... You see, under normal circumstances, there are only three warriors in the Triwizard Tournament, Krum, Delacour, and Harry are exactly three people, so I can skip it ?”

After Harry heard Ada's remarks, his face was shocked, his eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs almost fell to his feet!
I didn't expect, I didn't expect, Ada, why are you so disrespectful!
