Chapter 222 Really Ugly

Ever since she couldn't help being happy and told about Locke's upcoming dance partner at the Christmas ball, Hermione has become the target of public criticism among the girls, and her life has been difficult in the past few days.

What Hermione didn't even expect was that even many girls in Beauxbatons had some faint malice towards her. Fortunately, the Christmas ball came within a few days.

Locke is also a person who is not short of money. Since he took the initiative to invite Hermione, he naturally has to make all the preparations and prepare exquisite dresses for himself and Hermione.

Hermione chose a light-colored dress, her long golden hair was pulled up high, and she put on a shawl that matched the dress to match her good looks. If it wasn't for her young age, there would be no When fully grown, she will most likely become the most eye-catching beauty at the ball.

Locke wore normal dresses and suits, but they were all specially prepared, which also made the eyes of many girls who had noticed him shine brightly, and many girls were surprised that there were such outstanding men in the academy.

The ball started, and the dance was naturally not a problem for Locke. The guide cooperated with Hermione, and danced to the beat of the music under the soothing music.

As the figure rotated, Hermione's dress turned gorgeously, like a cluster of dancing elves, and then the dresses on the two of them triggered the effect of enchantment, and the gorgeous magic radiance radiated, attracting the hearts of everyone on the field. look.

The people around were dumbfounded by this gorgeous scene, and after a while, they regained their senses and continued to dance with their partner, but the envy and astonishment in their hearts could not be covered up.

After the dance, there were many evocative voices in the hidden rooms, woods, and bushes of Hogwarts castle, and Locke led the happy Hermione to leave for a rest. A girl beside him.

"Mr. Locke, don't you think you are too old compared to Hermione?" Ron bit his lip and finally said this sentence.

"Ron!" Hermione couldn't help staring at Ron, and said loudly, "What are you talking about!"

"Alright, Hermione." Locke rubbed Hermione's head with a smile, and said, "Ron, you should pay more attention to your dance partner, let's go."

Speaking of Locke holding Hermione's hand, he walked around Ron. Naturally, he would not be jealous with a little boy. When they left, Ron's partner couldn't help but glared at Ron angrily: "You don't want to be with me. Let's dance together, right?"

Ron was silent and didn't speak. In all fairness, his dance partner was also a little beauty. If he could promise Ron to dance together, and seeing that Ron was wearing some antique dresses and didn't complain, he must have a good impression of Ron.

But Ron's current performance made her turn around and leave.

"I didn't expect Ron to be so rude. You saved him and Harry in the Forbidden Forest before." Hermione couldn't help but said, "I must talk about him when I get back."

"It's okay, I know what he's thinking at this time, because I robbed him of the best dance partner in his mind." Locke smiled and said, "Do you know what I was thinking when I was dancing just now?"

"What?" Hermione asked curiously before she realized what Locke meant by the best partner in her heart.

"I'm wondering whether to invite you to join me on my trip, and at the same time I'm worried that you won't be able to see your parents and friends for a long time in the future."

"Really?!" Hermione seemed a little surprised: "I think I have no problem, and I also want to see how big this world is with you, teacher."

"Don't worry, I will leave at the end of this semester, and I will tell you where to go, and you can make a decision." Locke smiled: "Now, enjoy life in Hogwarts Bar."

Locke had actually been hesitant before whether to take Hermione away. After all, he also had a good impression of Hermione, and it seemed that he was not doing his job properly if he came to the world of Harry Potter and didn't try to abduct Hermione.

Locke wasn't going to hide it either. He would just let Hermione make his own choice. Before leaving, he would explain the situation to Hermione and let her decide whether to go to a completely strange world with Locke.

Fast forward two months, and the second match was approaching. On this day, Locke was preparing to go to the Room of Requirement to practice the spell. Unexpectedly, he happened to see Harry staring blankly beside a railing.

He went over to say hello: "Harry, why haven't you rested yet, are you here in a daze for a night tour alone?"

"Mr. Locke." Harry came back to his senses and greeted Locke: "I...no, it's nothing."

Harry, as always, belonged to the kind of temperament that keeps things in his heart, and replied: "I was just thinking about something."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Locke asked proactively.

After hesitating for a moment, Harry shook his head: "It's just some small things."

"Are you worried about the second match? You should have thought about it. The singing of the mermaid inside the golden egg means that the second match has something to do with water. What are you thinking? Can't think of any way to deal with the match?"

"That unbearable noise is the singing of the mermaid?" Harry couldn't help but be surprised and asked.

"You probably don't know much about mermaids, so you don't know that he is a mermaid. In fact, after the mermaid's singing leaves the water, it becomes a harsh noise. Magical creatures have various characteristics."

Locke said with a smile: "If you can't think of a way to deal with it, I have a book that I can recommend to you, or you can also ask Hermione, she should know some ways."

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Locke. I didn't expect that voice to be the singing of a mermaid. I thought it was the effect of some kind of spell."

Harry had an excited look on his face: "I'm sorry sir, I suddenly thought of something and want to go back."

"Okay, but don't go out at night casually in the future." Locke didn't say much, and only frowned slightly after he left:
"Didn't that fake Professor Moody give him a hint yet? It's true that the plot didn't specify which day he reminded Locke to go to the bathroom, and at the same time secretly told the answer to the ghost. I didn't expect that the second game was only a few days away. gone."

Inadvertently playing the role of the fake Professor Moody, Locke didn't care about this little thing, and continued to the Room of Requirement. After the second game, all the teachers and students gathered together at the Black Lake Center.

In the cold wind, the four players gathered together on the platform. The referee read out the rules of the game, saying that the four warriors had lost their precious things and they needed to find them back within an hour.

After the four contestants entered the water, all of them tried to look down from the lake, but because of the magic effect, they couldn't see anything except pitch black.

Locke knew that the Black Lake surrounding Hogwarts not only had magical creature sanctuaries, but also some magical passages that could even connect to other waters around the world.

The people the four warriors need to rescue are in the area where the mermaids are active in the Black Lake.

Locke also collected some mermaids in his small suitcase. To be honest, the mermaids in this world are not as beautiful and charming as in fairy tales. The same pair of eyes can ruin a person's all beautiful illusions about mermaids after seeing it.
