The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Krum thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "No, you came to me of your own accord."

"It seems that's true."

What a loss!

Scott raised his hand and slapped his forehead hard.

Snapped.

After a long while, Scott lowered his hand and began to comfort himself—

If you want to use Furong as a shield, you can't blame the other party for using you as a shield too.

Although it might be a bit troublesome for Fleur to block the arrow, Scott wasn't really afraid of those troubles.

Dealing with those sycophants of Furong is probably easier than dealing with those enthusiastic girls.

well.

Scott nodded.

After comforting myself, I felt much better.

He turned to look at Krum again. "Viktor, why haven't you come inside yet?"

“I’m watching your reaction,” Krum said. “I find you both very interesting, you and Fleur.”

“You’re funny too,” Scott said.

“No, my personality is very boring,” Krum said seriously.

Scott looked at Krum, a man who was taciturn and indeed extremely boring and dull.

But coupled with his mature-looking face, his consistently gloomy expression, and the contrast between his outward appearance and his actually friendly and kind personality, it becomes quite interesting.

"By the way, did you invite a dance partner?" Scott asked curiously.

Krum replied, "We've already extended an invitation, and they've accepted."

"Can you tell me who it is?" Scott was now genuinely curious.

He remembered that in the original story, Krum invited Hermione as his dance partner, but Hermione wasn't there this time, so he wondered who he would invite.

“It’s Miss Strozzi from Hogwarts,” Krum said.

“Kachini?” Scott’s eyes widened.

“That’s right.” Krum’s thick eyebrows twitched. “You seem a little too shocked, thinking I shouldn’t have invited her, since Miss Strozzi is Davis’s ex-girlfriend?”

Surprisingly, he even knew who Kacchini's ex was.

Scott quickly shook his head. "No, this has nothing to do with Roger. They broke up a long time ago."

He was simply amazed by Krum's eye for beauty; the guy always seemed to have an unusual way of finding beauty.

For example, in the "original work," he chose Hermione.

To be honest, if you only look at her usual attire, Hermione's image is a bit terrible.

Her messy hair covered most of her face, leaving only her constantly chattering mouth visible. She always carried a dozen or so books with her, causing her to hunch over under their weight.

Perhaps she could amaze everyone if she dressed up properly, but in the eyes of the Hogwarts boys, Miss Know-It-All was not exactly pretty.

Her entire presence stems from her less-than-likable personality in the eyes of the young wizards, and her identity as a companion to the "savior".

For example, the Caccini we've chosen now.

Of course, having seen Kachini in her past artsy, girlish attire, Scott knew she was actually quite beautiful.

But definitely not now.

The current Kachini has nothing to do with being beautiful; he looks like a handsome boy with a slightly flamboyant and roguish air.

Whether it's Hermione or Kacchini, Krum can cut through the fog, glimpse the truth, and discover their hidden beauty.

It has to be said, that's truly remarkable.

Scott couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

You have a keen eye for beauty, well done, buddy.

But as Roger said, Cachini might need a wig.

Otherwise, if Krum dances with her, people might misunderstand his sexual orientation.

Scott ignored Krum's bewildered expression and turned to walk into the cabin.

After a brief check on the malt, Scott quickly left the woods.

Back in the tower's common lounge, Scott was once again surrounded by onlookers.

Everyone here was staring at him with those unusually gossipy eyes.

"Was it successful?"

Did she agree?

Roger and Fred asked eagerly.

It seems that everyone already knows he wants to invite Furong to be his dance partner.

"..."

Scott stared at Roger.

It must have been this guy who spread it.

Roger raised his eyebrows comically.

"You really are something, brother." He gave a thumbs up. "You went straight for the highest difficulty and conquered the most difficult girl."

Angelina, who was standing nearby, asked Scott curiously, "Did you really go and invite Fleur?"

Scott nodded.

"I really don't understand why you all like that arrogant guy."

Angelina rolled her eyes and then looked at the other girls present.

"Are there no good girls at Hogwarts?"

Upon hearing her words, the other girls nodded repeatedly.

“Well…” Scott told the truth, “Because quite a few people want to invite me and Fleur, but we don’t have anyone we want to invite, so to avoid some trouble…”

"So you mean she accepted your invitation, but you two didn't develop feelings for each other?" Angelina rolled her eyes again.

“That’s right.” Scott nodded.

Angelina glared at him with a look of utter disappointment. "Come on, Scott, that's a Christmas ball! You're choosing a dance partner, not a Potions class partner!"

“It makes no difference to me,” Scott said, shrugging.

Kachini asked, "How did you invite her?"

Scott said, "To be honest."

Upon hearing his answer, everyone present gaped open, staring at him in shock.

"Oh! I can't believe it! She actually agreed to your request for such a reason!" Angelina exclaimed. "Does she, like you, have absolutely no idea about romance?"

Scott said, "No, she still has some expectations for romance."

"Could it be..."

At that moment, the girls' faces showed ambiguity, and the boys looked at Scott with envious eyes.

Scott shook his head. "No, Fleur said there isn't a single boy in this school who can make her heart flutter, so her expectations for romance have been dashed. Also, she needs to choose someone to fend off troublesome suitors."

He was a perfect candidate who would come knocking on your door.

"So, this is just a mutually exploitative relationship devoid of any romance!"

Angelina covered her face.

"Merlin, hearing this story has shattered all my fantasies, and I'm suddenly not so excited for the Christmas ball anymore."

"Me too."

"Me too."

……

The other girls echoed each other with blank expressions.

I'm so sorry, I've ruined your romance, haha.

Scott remained expressionless.

He promptly changed the subject, "By the way, Viktor told me that he invited Cachini, and Cachini has already accepted."

Now, everyone's attention was focused on Kacchini.

“Oh, yes, did he tell you?” Cachini readily admitted.

"what!"

The girls all screamed in unison.

"Krum!"

He invited you!

"Well done, Kachini!"

Kacchini laughed and said, "I didn't expect him to invite me, but why not?"

“Oh, poor Krum,” Roger suddenly said. “Does he have some kind of eye problem? How did he catch the Golden Snitch in the past?”

Kachini immediately glared at him. "What's your problem?"

“No,” Roger said. “I just wanted to remind you that there’s only a week left until Christmas, and you should start preparing wigs and hair growth products.”

"Roger Davis!"

Kachini lunged at him with a fierce expression.

Roger quickly got up and ran away.
