Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 590 The Secret of the Golden Egg (Second Update)

"No wonder I didn't see you that night; you were taking a shower with Jerry in the bathroom..."

Harry's tone was somewhat meaningful.

Although he's rather oblivious when it comes to relationships, he's not stupid. When a man and a woman are soaking in the bathroom sink, something is bound to happen.

"What happened in the tent that day already surprised us, but we didn't expect you to progress so quickly!"

Ron also let out a gasp of surprise, clearly sharing Harry's thoughts.

To be honest, although Hermione and Jerry had known what was going on for a while, what happened in the tent that day still shocked them.

Even now, the story of Jerry and Hermione's kiss that sealed their love remains a hot topic among the wizards at school.

That day at Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, quite a few little witches secretly shed tears under their blankets after hearing the news.

Unexpectedly, things progressed between the two of them much faster than they had imagined.

Meanwhile, Ginny stared at Hermione with wide eyes and an expression of adoration:

"Hermione, you wouldn't, that night already..."

To be honest, although she and Hermione were best friends and she knew Hermione quite well, she was still shocked to hear that Hermione had actually kissed Jerry forcefully in public that day.

At the same time, she greatly admired Hermione's courage, because she herself did not have the courage to treat Harry that way.

Upon hearing that the two had gone into the bathroom that very night, his admiration turned into worship.

Hermione, sensing something from their conversation, blushed and explained:

"You've misunderstood. It's not what you think. We didn't do anything that day. We just solved the secret of the golden egg together."

However, the more she explained, the more meaningful their expressions became; clearly, they didn't quite believe her.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. The Christmas ball is about to start. Have you all found your dance partners yet?"

Seeing Hermione's face turn red as she launched into a frantic explanation, Jerry quickly stepped in to help her out.

Although Hermione's flushed face was cute, as her official boyfriend, he still had to step in to help her out of the awkward situation.

And nothing actually happened between them that night.

He's an adult, and having lived for so many years, he knows how to control his desires. Holding hands and kissing are fine, but anything more serious should wait until he graduates from Hogwarts.

Essentially, he is still the kind of man with relatively traditional ideas.

Upon hearing the words "Christmas Ball," Harry, Ron, and Ginny's faces immediately fell, and they lost all interest in joking with Hermione and Jerry.

"Not yet. I'm really worried that it would be so embarrassing if I didn't have a dance partner!"

Harry was the first to sigh.

Actually, as a boy who survived a great ordeal, Harry wasn't as famous as Jerry at school, but he was still quite popular with the girls.

More than a week ago, after Professor McGonagall announced the Christmas Ball, several girls took the initiative to invite Harry to be his dance partner.

For example, there was a Hufflepuff girl with curly hair in the third year whom he didn't know, a Ravenclaw girl in the second year, and a fifth-year girl from Gryffindor who was a foot taller than him.

But Harry rejected them all without even thinking.

Deep down, he didn't want to attend such an important Christmas dance with a girl he didn't know.

Actually, the person he had a slight interest in was a Chinese witch named Cho Chang, who was also the Seeker for the fifth-year Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

Because the two had competed several times, he recognized the other's strength and thus developed some goodwill towards him.

Unfortunately, just as he mustered the courage to make his move, Jerry told him that he had seen Cedric Diggory invite Cho Chang to the ball, and Cho Chang had accepted.

So far, he still hasn't found a suitable dance partner, especially since so much time has passed and almost all the girls he knows have already been invited.

"Me too, but I'm even worse off. I only invited them once, and they rejected me. I really don't know why I did it, especially in public!"

If Harry was merely sighing, then Ron's expression now clearly showed deep regret.

"What exactly happened?"

The topic shifted, and Hermione finally returned to normal, asking with some curiosity.

Ginny, who had been feeling a bit melancholy, burst into a rather unkind laugh:

"Haha, he actually went and invited Fleur Delacour yesterday, in the foyer, where there were a lot of people gathered."

"You know what? She looked at me like I was some kind of sea cucumber, and didn't even bother to answer."

Okay, Ginny, I know I'm overestimating myself, but what's wrong with wanting to find the prettiest one to attend the ball?

Don't forget, only fourth-year students and above can attend this ball. You'd better think about how to find a wizard in fourth grade or above who's willing to take you!

Ron first rubbed his forehead, then said to his sister who was mocking him, with an annoyance.

This Christmas ball, which is being held together by the three schools, is only open to wizards in their fourth year or above. Wizards below the fourth year are not eligible to participate unless they are invited by a wizard in their fourth year or above to be their dance partner.

Ginny's laughter froze, then she looked at Ron with some resentment and said:

"Hmph, I don't lack dance partners. Neville, Dean, and a fifth-year Ravenclaw boy have all invited me, but I haven't decided which one to choose yet."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Harry subconsciously, then quickly looked away.

Hermione clearly noticed this, and she coughed and said:

"Actually, Harry, I think if you don't want to be without a dance partner at the Christmas ball, you might consider Ginny. She doesn't know who to choose as her dance partner either."

"I think this is a good idea, Harry. Sometimes you can't hesitate too much, or you'll regret it later."

Jerry nodded in agreement, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He knew that if Harry refused now, he would have to wait several years to be with Ginny again.

By that time, Ginny, after several relationships, had become a master of romance, easily able to have Harry completely under her thumb, making him experience the pain of unrequited love.

"That sounds good, Ginny. Would you like to come to the ball with me?"

Harry initially wanted to refuse, because in his eyes Ginny was a very shy child, but when he looked up and met Ginny's eyes, he subconsciously changed his mind.

He was shocked to discover that Ginny had somehow become so beautiful.
