Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 591 Christmas Ball (Part 1)

Soon, the young wizards of Hogwarts welcomed their long-awaited Christmas holiday.

However, this year, apart from most of the first, second, and third-year wizards who were unable to attend the Christmas ball, all the other wizards chose to stay at school.

The school's professors, in addition to the young wizards, clearly also attach great importance to the upcoming Christmas ball.

They also wanted to make a lasting impression on the students and teachers from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, demonstrating Hogwarts' strength as the premier magic school.

With the combined efforts of all the professors, the entire castle became more magnificent than ever before. In addition to the various exquisite decorations hanging on every wall, even the handrails of the marble staircase were enchanted with various exquisite ice sculptures that would not melt.

The twelve Christmas trees in the auditorium were clearly decorated with many more items than in previous years, including glittering holly berries and a little golden owl chirping incessantly.

The gleaming, reflective armor in each corridor was also enchanted, singing Christmas carols whenever someone passed by.

This reminded Jerry of the large sculptures he had set up in his home in the main world.

However, they don't sing; they just thrust their weapons forcefully into the backsides of any enemy who dares to invade the villa.

He also heard Hermione say that Dumbledore had specially ordered eight hundred barrels of mead from the Broomsticks Bar for the Christmas Ball, and had even used his connections to invite the famous wizarding rock band, the "Weird Sisters".

Although Dumbledore was no longer the headmaster at this time, he was not in a hurry to leave because of the Triwizard Tournament, and he also wanted to assist Snape in taking over Hogwarts completely.

And so, Christmas Day finally arrived.

At 7 p.m., Jerry, dressed in a black tuxedo, walked out of the dormitory.

When passing by the public rest area, the uniform black wizard robes were no longer seen, but rather a variety of colorful evening gowns.

His roommate, Malfoy, paired up with his classmate, Pansy Parkinson, while his other two roommates, Crabbe and Goyle, were carrying piles of snacks and didn't seem to be looking for their dance partners.

He was quite pleased that his extreme admirer, Daphne, was standing next to a sixth-year Slytherin wizard.

See you in a bit!

Seeing that everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him as soon as he appeared, Jerry smiled, waved, and quickly left the common room.

Today is Christmas, and there's a ball later, so he didn't use the wizard's shielding spell to hide himself as usual.

He greeted wizards dressed in various evening gowns along the way and finally arrived at the Gryffindor dormitory on the eighth floor.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hermione parted ways with him, saying that she needed to go back to her dormitory to make some preparations for the dinner party, which would take about three hours.

It's already seven o'clock, and there's still an hour before the ball starts. Jerry thinks Hermione should be almost ready.

Actually, because her main focus is on her studies, Hermione doesn't dress up as meticulously as other little witches her age.

Even after she fell in love with Jerry, she only used magic to shrink her teeth, and then used hair-smoothing magic to smooth her naturally curly hair before going out.

Therefore, Hermione doesn't usually look that pretty; she's just average, especially since she always carries a big satchel.

This is also the part that the young wizards at Hogwarts don't understand the most.

They couldn't understand why Jerry, who was exceptionally talented, would reject so many beautiful witches at school and fall in love with the ordinary Hermione.

The key point is that Jerry is a Slytherin, and Slytherins tend to value lineage to some extent, while Hermione is a wizard from a Muggle family.

Is it simply because she's a good student?

In fact, Jerry didn't think Hermione was anything wrong with him. He wasn't a looks-obsessed person. He might be amazed when he saw a particularly beautiful woman and praise her for her beauty.

However, that doesn't mean that his criteria for finding a partner must include that the other person be beautiful enough.

In his view of love, if a relationship is based solely on appearance, it is unlikely to last.

Because no matter how beautiful a person is, if you spend every day with her, looking at her from morning till night, after a few years, you will find that she is not so beautiful anymore.

It's not that she's no longer pretty, it's just that you've gotten used to it.

At this moment, you might even see a woman who is less beautiful than her as more beautiful.

Therefore, if someone is extremely obsessed with appearance and has very high requirements for their partner's looks, you will find that he or she has one characteristic.

That is, they often change boyfriends or girlfriends because they easily get tired of their partner's appearance.

In Jerry's eyes, apart from having compatible values, his other half just needs to be someone he feels comfortable with. He's used to Hermione and feels comfortable with her, especially when she's focused on studying; she always exudes a special charm.

Some say that men who work hard are handsome, and this statement also applies to women.

"Jerry, are you waiting for Hermione?"

Jerry had only been standing in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady in front of the Gryffindor dormitory for less than five minutes when he encountered Harry and Ron coming out of the door.

Harry was arm in arm with Ginny, who was wearing a pink dress, while Ron was being pulled by the arm by a slightly chubby witch, who looked like Hermione's roommate Lavender Brown.

"Yes, have you seen Hermione?"

"She should be ready soon; she was almost done when I came out!"

Lavender, who was clinging tightly to Ron's arm, replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Gryffindor dormitory door was pushed open again, and a beautiful girl wearing a flowing light purple-blue fitted evening gown peeked out.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Jerry."

The girl touched her hair, which was tied up, with a hint of shyness, and then adjusted her evening gown slightly, as if to make sure there was nothing she hadn't done properly.

"I just arrived too, Hermione. You look beautiful today!"

Jerry looked at Hermione, who was now dressed up, and praised her without reservation.

Hermione's features have always been quite beautiful, but she usually buries herself in her studies, leaving everyone with a stereotypical image of a bookworm.

Now, with such a meticulously crafted look, the stark contrast actually creates the illusion that she outshines everyone else.

This can be seen from the wide eyes of Harry and Ron and their completely incredulous expressions.
