Ron asked with a serious expression, "You don't have any designs on my sister, do you?"

The expression on his face was practically as if he was about to grab Harry and ask him: "You little brat, I treat you like a brother, and you actually want to be my brother-in-law?"

Harry rolled his eyes at him speechlessly and said, "You're overthinking it. I just couldn't find a suitable dance partner, so I invited Ginny."

However, when it came to his younger sister, Ron's thought process became somewhat abnormal.

He grabbed Harry and said, "What do you mean? You think Ginny isn't a suitable dance partner? Then why did you invite her?"

Harry slapped Ron's hand away, which wrinkled his tuxedo.

Harry straightened his clothes and said, "That's not what I meant. Are you missing the point?"

Just then, Ginny walked over and asked Ron, "Ron, what are you doing, pulling Harry along?"

Ginny was unhappy that Ron had taken her dance partner.

Ron retorted, "I'd like to ask you, what are you doing here? And where did you get that suit from?"

Ginny frowned at her youngest brother and said, "Of course I'm here to attend the ball, what else could I be doing? As for the dress, Mom sent it to me after she found out I was going to the ball."

Ron was stunned when he heard Ginny's words.

Why is it that he only has a tattered dress for the ball, but Ginny has a brand new one?

He's the youngest boy in the Weasley family, yet he gave all his love to Ginny and didn't get any for himself?

Looking at Ron's dazed expression, Ginny thought her brother was acting a bit silly today.

She decided to stay away from him to avoid catching the virus.

Ginny whispered to Harry, "Let's go, let's ignore him, he's not thinking straight tonight."

Harry also noticed that Ron seemed to be acting strangely after entering the venue.

He nodded and silently walked away from Ron with Ginny.

As for Ron, let his dance partner handle it.

Harry and Ginny had just parted ways with Ron when Professor McGonagall approached them.

“You’ve arrived, Potter. Are you and Miss Weasley ready?” Professor McGonagall asked.

"Prepare what, Professor?" Harry asked.

“Dancing? It’s a tradition. The warriors of the Triwizard Tournament are always the first to enter and dance, as I’ve told you,” Professor McGonagall replied.

“No, you didn’t say that,” Harry said.

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall awkwardly touched the back of her neck; she seemed to have genuinely forgotten to mention it.

"Now you know, alright, let's go get ready."

After saying that, Professor McGonagall led Harry and Ginny toward the inner court.

When they arrived at the entrance to the inner field, the warriors from the other two schools and their dance partners were already waiting there.

The most dazzling and eye-catching pair at the scene was undoubtedly the duo of Furong and Penelope.

Penelope looked stunning in a sky-blue dress that complemented her long, brown curls.

Needless to say, Hibiscus was naturally beautiful due to her Veela bloodline. Her dress and robes were silver-gray, just like her hair, and the two complemented each other perfectly.

The eyes of the surrounding students were almost all focused on the two girls, except for Harry.

He was looking at Qiu, who was being embraced by Cedric, not far away.

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Harry suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

At 14, he was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, but the seed of love died before it could even take root.

At that moment, Harry felt somewhat out of place in the lively atmosphere of the Christmas ball.

However, no one noticed Harry's low spirits, not even Ginny, who was standing next to him.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the newly arrived Hermione, Lani, and Zicomo.

Hermione wore a light blue evening gown tonight, her hair styled in an updo, giving her a serene and refreshing look, soft yet with a touch of mystery.

Lani, on the other hand, wore an elegant blue and white long dress, her beautiful hair flowing down her back, loose yet not messy. Combined with her aloof demeanor, she resembled a snow sprite in a blizzard, or a bright full moon surrounded by stars.

As for Zicomo, who was flanked by them on either side, he had styled his hair a bit today, fully revealing his sculpted, angular face.

Wearing a fitted black tailcoat, which complemented his tall and slender figure, he looked elegant and graceful.

The three of them instantly became the focus of the entire event, even overshadowing the pairing of Fleur and Penelope.

Professor McGonagall looked at her student's handsome appearance and nodded in satisfaction.

Then she called out, "Alright, all the warriors are here, let's hurry up and get on the field."

The inner gates opened, and four warriors from three schools filed in with their dance partners.

Leading the way were the trio of Zicomo, who held Hermione and Lani's hands on either side, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the warrior in the three-way battle.

Following closely behind were Fleur and Penelope, the only female duo of the night, who also attracted much attention.

The first two pairs were so shocking that when they saw that Krum and Harry were a normal male and female pair, their reaction was rather subdued.

Professor Flitwick saw the warriors enter and stood on the conductor's platform to lead the symphony orchestra in their performance.

Zicomo embraced Hermione and began to dance, while Lani stepped aside.

After all, Hermione is the true warrior of the Triwizard Tournament, and the first dance tonight should rightfully belong to her.

Of course, Zicomo also promised Lani that he would dance with her at the next ball.

Seeing that Harry seemed a little lost, Ginny took one of his hands and placed it on her waist.

She reminded him, "Hold on tight, the dance's starting, don't step on me!"

After saying that, Ginny winked mischievously at Harry.

Looking at Ginny's charming demeanor, Harry felt his heart skip a beat.

He decided to let go of his first love, which ended before it even began, and enjoy the present moment.

As the symphony reached its climax, students from the surrounding area entered the venue with their dance partners.

Despite their varying levels of dance skill, everyone in the hall was undoubtedly happy at that moment.

Especially Hagrid, that simpleton, whose dance partner was none other than Mrs. Maxime.

The two were dancing on the dance floor at the same time, but Hagrid's posture was a bit off.

Because Mrs. Maxim was a head taller than Hagrid, when the two were close together, Hagrid's head rested on the soft area below Mrs. Maxim's neck.

As for his hand, which should have been supporting his dance partner's waist, it actually touched Mrs. Maxim's lower waist.

It's unclear whether Hagrid did it accidentally or on purpose.

Zicomo and Hermione glanced over while dancing and happened to see Mrs. Maxime prying Hagrid's groping hand upwards.

He never expected that Hagrid, this half-giant who usually had a kind and honest appearance with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a lecherous old man.

After the dance ended, perhaps because she was too engrossed in it, Hermione pressed herself against Zicomo and passionately kissed him.

Zicomo never expected that this little witch would be so bold as to kiss him like that in front of so many people.

Just as he was about to give a proper response, the people around him saw this scene and applauded, cheering and blessing the two.

Hermione also snapped out of her daze amidst the cheers.

When the little witch realized what she had just done, she blushed deeply with embarrassment.

She escaped Zicomo's embrace, covered her face, and plunged into the crowd, leaving the rest of the time to Lani.

Zicomo didn't chase after Hermione; the little witch needed to calm down, so it was a good opportunity for him to dance the dance he had promised Lani.

Then everyone saw Zicomo turn around, take Lani's hand, and begin the second dance.

Given Lani's competitive nature, she naturally wouldn't want to lose to Hermione.

So after the second dance, she kissed Zicomo.

This time, the entire audience fell silent for half a minute before the crowd returned to liveliness with applause from the Weasley twins.

Although most of the students in the school had some guesses about Zicomo's special trio, they were still greatly shocked when they actually saw it.

The Muggle-born wizards were astonished at how Zicomo managed to keep both Hermione and Lani together in a modern society with a one-man-one-woman system.

In contrast, young wizards from pure-blood families are more likely to accept this.

After all, this situation also exists in some pure-blood families. In order to ensure the purity of their bloodline and the continuation of their family line, they may go to even more elaborate schemes than Zicomo.

As for the Malfoys, whose entire family had only one child, that was an exception.

His father, Lucius, and mother, Narcissa, were both from the Twenty-Eight Holy Families, and they were nearly equal in both background and strength.

In addition, Lucius was devoted to his love and naturally did not take concubines or keep women outside the family like other pure-blood families.

But no matter what, most students are envious.

Boys envied Zicomo for having two girlfriends at the same time, while girls envied Hermione and Lani for sharing such an outstanding man.
