Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 163
This year's Hogwarts may be the happiest, with one interesting thing after another.

Fresh off the first project of the Triwizard Tournament, the students got another piece of exciting news:
On Christmas Day, there will be a big ball!

"This is the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament. The warriors will dance their first dance with their dance partners." When the spell get out of class was about to end, Professor Flitwick introduced to the students with a smile, "In order to greet foreign friends Show us our style, and I want you all to wear your best dresses and show off your beautiful dance moves."

"Students above the fourth grade will participate in the prom this year, so, in order not to make yourself look too lonely, I think you'd better find your dance partner as soon as possible..."

"By the way, students in lower grades can also be invited." After finishing speaking, Professor Flitwick blinked.

In the days that followed, Ike saw how terrifying the girls at Hogwarts were, and how impatient the boys were.

They always walk in the corridor in groups of three or four, and whenever a boy passes by, they will attract their attention, and they will gather together to discuss in a low voice, and scream from time to time.There are also groups of boys, but they usually go to the gathered girls alone, while the rest make various encouraging gestures behind them.

Then, cheers erupted for success, and ridiculed for failure, until the next one went to the girls...

"You shouldn't be with us, Ike." Stewart kept pushing Ike aside with Terry.

"I'm rooting for you, Stuart." Ike grinned, rubbing back.

"Damn it, leave quickly, you are not needed here!" Stuart threatened in a low voice, and turned to look at Hermione, who was covering her mouth and smiling, "Take him away!"

"Sorry, Stuart, I'm cheering for you too!" Hermione certainly wouldn't miss it, "Hurry up, she's leaving!"

"Damn it..." Stewart cursed secretly, took a few deep breaths, and straightened his robes before mustering up the courage to walk towards the group of girls not far from the corridor.

Not long after, I saw him making a V behind her...

"awesome!"

"Nice job!"

Ike and others cheered loudly, and Michael whistled.

Of course, the consequence of his doing so was that he was chased by Stuart for a whole corridor.

"You already knew, Ike." Hermione, who was leaning on the railing, asked Ike next to him, watching the chasing and fighting people.

"what?"

"Don't play dumb." Hermione held out her sinful little hand, "You know what I'm talking about."

"Don't pinch, don't pinch, don't pinch..." Ike hurriedly begged for mercy, "Yes, I know, it's not a secret."

"Hmph." Hermione withdrew her hand, "For the sake of the dress, I forgive you this time."

"Thank you so much..."

After playing around for a while, the two walked out of the castle together.On the way, Hermione kept talking about Harry and Ron, and they had been rejected by countless people.

"A Hufflepuff girl made an invitation to Harry, but that guy refused without even thinking about it, and ran away!" Hermione complained, "And just yesterday, two more The girl came to invite him, who would have thought that he would refuse again."

"I really don't know who he wants to be his girlfriend."

"This... I probably know a little bit." Ike leaned his head closer and whispered, "Do you still remember the Seeker on our college Quidditch team? Don't you notice that every time when Autumn appears, Harry Will it always be unnatural?"

"Cho?" Hermione recalled for a while before she remembered who Cho was.

"Then why didn't he invite Qiu?"

"It's too late, Hermione." Ike smirked. "A few days ago, Cedric invited Qiu, and Qiu has already agreed."

"Also, it seems that they are not just dancing partners..."

While talking, a person suddenly stopped in front, but it was Krum.Seeing this, Hermione frowned subconsciously.

"Hello, Strider." With a smile on his face, Krum greeted Ike and looked at Hermione who was aside, "Miss Granger, can I borrow a little time from you?"

"What's wrong? You can talk right here." Hermione replied.

Looking at Ike who was watching the excitement again, Krum said: "Miss Granger, can I ask you to be my dance partner at the Christmas ball?"

"Sorry, Krum." Before Hermione could speak, Ike stood in front of Hermione and said, "Hermione is my dance partner."

"Oh, sorry." Only then did he notice the hands held by the two, and Krum said quickly, "I...I didn't know you..."

"terribly sorry."

After Krum left, Hermione said angrily: "How could he think that I would agree? Every time in the library, he and his group of admirers always make a lot of noise!"

"Not even Madame Pince!"

"Don't be angry, Hermione." Ike persuaded, "After all, he is a talented Seeker who shined in the World Cup, and many people are his fans."

After persuading her for a while, Hermione calmed down a little.This is not easy, after all, one of the things Hermione hates the most is when she is reading in the library, people make all kinds of noises next to her.

Harry and Ron, I don't know how many times she has said this because of it.

"By the way, Ike, do you know the secret of that golden egg?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"It won't be until February next year, Hermione, don't be in such a hurry."

"So...you know." Staring at his expression, Hermione directly broke through Ike's disguise.

Seeing Ike nodded helplessly, Hermione said happily, "I know it! Tell me quickly, what is the second item?"

Looking around, Ike saw that there was no one around, so Ike called Hermione to come over.

"The second item is... not to tell you!"

"Ike Stride!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Ike dodged Hermione's attacks one after another, grabbed her hand while she was not paying attention, and whispered, "There is a reason for not telling you, because you will also participate in it."

"I'll participate too?" Hermione looked like you guess I believe it or not, and Ike spread his hands, as if I didn't lie.

"Relax, I feel much safer this time than the first project, no one will be in danger."

"Then...how did you unlock the secret of the golden egg?"

Ike looked at Hermione thoughtfully, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Harry doesn't have a clue."

"Him? He's not even in a hurry." Hermione suddenly became angry. "I dare say he's the only one who doesn't know what the second project is yet!"

"It's about the same..." Ike said with a smile, then leaned his head again, and whispered in Hermione's ear.

"Go back and tell Harry to take the golden egg with him in the shower."

"That's a great bath toy."
