Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 592 Christmas Ball (Part 2)

An elegant updo, delicate features, a snow-white swan neck, plus an obviously high-end evening gown and a valuable sapphire necklace on her chest.

And a silver bracelet that radiated a faint magical light and a pair of crystal shoes that looked like works of art.

This makes Hermione look like a Disney princess on the run, rather than a little witch who studies magic every day.

"Thank you for your Christmas present, it's very beautiful."

Hearing Jerry's praise, Hermione blushed slightly, then walked nervously to Jerry's side and took his arm.

When she woke up this morning, she saw the Christmas present Jerry had given her among a pile of gifts by her bedside.

Unlike the candy and cookies that Harry and Ron gave her, Jerry gave her a pair of magical crystal shoes that he made himself.

A pair of crystal shoes with multiple magical functions such as speed, jumping, flying, and automatic size adjustment.

"Let's go to the lobby together!"

Jerry turned back to Harry and Ron, who were still amazed by Hermione's transformation, and said something before leading Hermione down the stairs to the first-floor foyer.

Of course, they also encountered many young wizards from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw along the way.

When everyone first saw Hermione, they all thought they had mistaken her for someone else.

Hermione was not particularly famous outside of her grade, and many people did not know her.

It wasn't until recently, after she officially started dating Jerry, that she became known to students from the entire school and even three other schools because of Jerry.

Moreover, she was also affected by becoming Jerry's girlfriend.

For example, some girls in the school formed a Jerry support group and often verbally and visually attacked Hermione when they encountered her.

However, they dare not use magic.

First, the school does not allow students to fight using magic; second, Hermione's strength, under Jerry's tutelage, has far surpassed that of normal students.

There was once a rather extreme seventh-grade witch who tried to attack Hermione with dark magic that could embarrass her, but Hermione easily subdued her with a single move.

As for verbal and eye attacks, Hermione is not the gentle and weak person she always is. Although she looks like a nerd, she is actually quite strong-willed and a master of arguing.

Sometimes, even all those fan clubs combined can't out-argue her.

This is also something Jerry sometimes admires about her; Hermione can handle many things on her own, even without his intervention.

When they arrived at the entrance hall, many young wizards dressed in their finest attire had already gathered there.

The ball doesn't start until 8 o'clock, so the doors to the auditorium are still closed.

However, everyone wasn't bored in the lobby. Besides chatting and getting to know each other better, they also enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside the lobby, which the professors had decorated with magic.

The Ministry of Magic's purpose in applying for the Triwizard Tournament was not to have the three schools compete for first place, but to achieve friendly exchanges among international magic schools and promote cooperation and development among the magic ministries of various countries.

So the real purpose of this Christmas dance was to allow upperclassmen from the three schools to get to know each other and forge good friendships in advance.

After passing the young wizards gathered in the foyer, Jerry and Hermione arrived at the steps outside the foyer.

The lawn outside the foyer had disappeared, replaced by a beautiful cave created by the professors using a transfiguration spell.

Outside the cave, snowflakes were scattered, while inside, there were many statues of Santa Claus and reindeer, as well as beautiful rose bushes and thoughtfully provided long stone benches.

"Jerry, look over there! So much fairy light!"

Hermione pointed to the fairy light twinkling in the cave and smiled happily.

Jerry looked in the direction Hermione was pointing and saw several hundred fairies holding wands, emitting a faint glow in the cave.

He knew that Hagrid had found it in the Forbidden Forest a few days earlier.

Fairies are magical creatures that pose almost no danger. They are only about the size of a human thumb, yet they have bodies and appearances that are almost identical to those of human women.

The only difference is that it has a pair of wings that are as thin as cicada wings, colorful and very beautiful, just like those of an insect.

However, the fairy's intelligence is not very high, and her magic power is also very low. The magic wand she holds, which looks like a tree branch, can only emit light and then drive away her natural enemy—the pheasant.

They are naturally quarrelsome, but because they are extremely vain, they will obey any request from the wizard to act as decorations.

"The show won't start for a while yet, let's go inside and take a look around!"

Seeing that Hermione was very interested, Jerry pulled her towards the cave.

"Wait for us!"

Harry and Ron, seeing Jerry take Hermione to the cave, pulled Ginny and Lavender along with them.

After wandering around the cave, it finally came to eight o'clock.

"Warriors, please come this way with your dance partners!"

The doors of the Great Hall opened, and Professor McGonagall, dressed in a red plaid robe and wearing a hat decorated with thistle wreaths, stepped out and called out to the young wizards gathered in the foyer.

See you later!

After greeting Harry and Ron, Jerry led Hermione, Krum, and Fleur toward Professor McGonagall.

Krum's dance partner was a seventh-year girl from Slytherin, while Fleur's dance partner was Roger Davis, the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

"Alright, you can come in now!"

After leading Jerry and his two partners to their designated spots in the Great Hall, Professor McGonagall instructed the young wizards gathered in the foyer to line up and enter the Great Hall to take their seats.

The tradition of the Triwizard Tournament Christmas Ball is that the first dance is performed by the three warriors and their partners.

After Jerry and Hermione came to a stop, they discovered that the Great Hall had completely changed.

The long tables that originally stood in the auditorium for the four colleges have been transformed into more than a hundred small tables lit with lanterns, and the tables are filled with all kinds of snacks, wines and drinks.

The center of the auditorium was completely empty, and the ceiling above it was replaced with a starry night sky.

Instead of seats for the professors on the stage, a stage was set up, where the most popular rock band of the year, "The Weird Sisters," was performing.

They were dressed in strange clothes and carrying various musical instruments, ready to provide music for the ball later.

Meanwhile, the principals and referees were already seated at the small tables nearby.

Today they are not school leaders, but just members of the dance party.

"Now, let's welcome our three brave warriors to kick off our ball!"

After everyone was seated, Professor McGonagall waved for Jerry and his six friends to walk toward the center of the Great Hall.
