Chapter 376: They were all rejected, what a pair of brothers in distress

"Have you found the clue to the golden egg?" Snape looked at Aaron seriously in the Potions Professor's office and asked.

"I found it. The difficulty of the second project is to breathe underwater for at least an hour."

"Head Bubble Charm." Snape said, "You can go to Professor Flitwick to teach you this spell. With your talent, you can definitely master it before the game.

If you're having trouble, I have an herb in my personal stash that might be able to help. "

"Uh..." Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Professor, but I think I have a better way."

"Don't force it!"

"It's not forced at all." Aaron waved his hand and led Abe out of the office.

When he walked to the foyer, he happened to see Cedric talking to Fleur and walked over curiously.

"Gaius." Fleur greeted him familiarly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Of course it's the golden egg." Cedric said with some pride, "I finally solved the clues inside."

"You couldn't have untied it in the shower, right?" Aaron sneered.

The expression on Cedric's face froze instantly, "You won't untie it too, will you?"

"is it hard?

Wait, you didn’t really untie it in the shower, right? "

Cedric smiled sheepishly, "I wanted to eliminate its noise. I happened to be in the prefect's bathroom at that time, so I soaked the golden egg in it and tried it."

"Krum is also untied." Fleur said casually, "Someone in Beauxbatons told me that he is practicing diving during this time.

I have to say that Durmstrang's ship is really an excellent training prop. "

"Has Harry untied it?" Cedric asked curiously.

“As far as I can tell, there shouldn’t be.

From what I know of him he wouldn't have considered such a thing before the Yule Ball. "

"That's so willful." Fleur said disdainfully, "What do you think of the clues in the golden egg?"

"Mermaid, the mermaid in the Black Lake will steal our most precious objects." Aaron did not express his speculation. The mermaid might not be robbing objects, but living people.

If nothing else goes wrong, the boys they want to rescue from the black lake are their respective dance partners, and the person Furong wants to rescue may be her biological sister.

"I think so too, the key is how to breathe underwater for an hour.

Delacour and I decided to use the Bubble Charm, which would allow us to get enough oxygen underwater.

And you? What are you going to do? "

"Keep it secret." Aaron raised his lips slightly and said mysteriously: "The magic I want to use consumes more than the Bubble Curse, but it is the most practical."

"What magic?" Fleur asked curiously.

“I told you to keep it a secret.

By the way, Miss Delacour, you are not a student at Hogwarts, so you may not be clear about some things.

There are more than just mermaids in Blackbeard. If you have time, you can ask Hagrid. No one knows the dangers better than him. "

Furong was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. "Why are you telling me this? We should be rivals, right?"

"Because of my sister's unreasonable request." Aaron said tiredly, "The last one to pass the competition, so you'd better perform better and don't make me so troublesome this time."

The corner of Furong's mouth twitched, "You really don't understand the charm!"

"Haha!" Aaron rolled his eyes, "I'm only fourteen years old, why do I know so many customs?"

"Hmph! Being able to say this shows that you still understand a little bit."

"So what? I'm just a fourteen-year-old kid."

"This is the first time I've seen a child who can fight several adult fire dragons."

...

Cedric stood there blankly, inexplicably feeling that standing here was a bit embarrassing.

"How about... I avoid it for a while?"

"No, if you want to avoid it, I'll avoid it!" Aaron said and waved his hand, "See you at dinner!"

"Miss Delacour." Ron's voice suddenly came over, "Can I invite you to be my dance partner?"

His voice was so loud, almost roaring, that it was hard not to pay attention.

The hall was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Furong curiously, wondering if the melon would stay cooked.

"You idiot." Aaron rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "If I were you, I would ask somewhere where no one is. At least it won't be as embarrassing as it is now."

"This only proves that Delacour is still very charming." Cedric said with a smile.

"Maybe! But I'm more inclined to think it's someone taking advantage of sex."

Upon hearing this, Ron's face turned red and he looked at Fleur Delacour humbly, waiting anxiously for her answer.

Fleur smiled sweetly, Ron's body felt a little numb at the sight, and a silly smile appeared on his face.

This time it was stable, and what Fred said made sense.

Action is worse than excitement. With Fleur as a good partner, Ron Weasley will definitely be the most handsome boy at the dance.

"Gaius." Fleur suddenly looked at Aaron, with teasing and ridicule in her eyes, "I wonder if you are in need of a dance partner now?"

Damn it!

Aaron's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't react for a while.

He didn't answer immediately, but held a moment of silence for Ron in his heart.

What is a large-scale social death scene? This is it.

Turning around, he saw that Ron seemed to have a dark cloud above his head, and his whole person exuded an unprecedented decline.

"Uh...Sorry, I have a dance partner."

"That's such a pity." Fleur shook her head regretfully and walked straight past Ron without even looking at him.

"Alas!" Aaron sighed, walked up to Ron, who had no eyes at all, and helped him walk step by step towards the Gryffindor common room.

"How could this happen? Why would I say such a thing?"

"You are a man after all, can you please stop being so fragile?"

"Aaron, believe me, I was really out of control just now." Ron covered his face in pain and said almost pleading.

"Believe it, I believe it." Aaron said perfunctorily, but he didn't believe it at all. He only felt that Ron had been severely hit and was trying to deceive himself.

It was true that Fleur had Veela blood, but that was only a quarter.

This part of her bloodline can make her more attractive, but not to the point of being charming.

At this time, Harry came over in despair. Aaron felt Ron's weakness from him, and asked in disbelief: "Are you confessing your love, aren't you...the invitation failed?"

Harry nodded numbly, walked to Ron's other side and held up his arm, "What's wrong with you?"

"He invited Fleur Delacour to the Yule Ball."

"got rejected?"

"It's almost the same, but the situation is much more serious." Aaron said, suppressing a smile. "He sent the invitation in the foyer in front of at least twenty people, and then...his dignity was shattered."

"Hiss!" Harry gasped, "Are you too brave?"

Ron was on the verge of tears and gasped: "I don't know what happened. She was talking to Aaron and Cedric. Suddenly I couldn't control myself, so I sent out the invitation."

"It's not your fault, Ron." Harry comforted, "She has Veela blood. She was probably trying to cast magic on Cedric or Aaron, and you happened to run into it."

"How audacious to cast spells on two wizards who are no weaker than her in the foyer!"

Harry didn't seem to hear Aaron's teasing and continued: "But her efforts were in vain this time. Aaron has Hermione, and Cedric has Cho Chang."

"Wait, how did you know Cedric and Cho Chang were at the dance together?

You're not going to invite her, are you? "

Harry nodded silently.

Aaron was speechless immediately. What a pair of brothers in need!

I finally made up my mind to invite others, but they were all rejected.

"At least I wasn't rejected in public." Harry said with a forced smile, "I waited for her to come out alone to send the invitation."

"Much better than me." Ron said angrily, "Harry, we urgently need a dance partner now, otherwise we will be too shameless by then."

“You don’t have much time, and there will be fewer and fewer people to choose from.

Therefore, lower your requirements appropriately and take care of yourself! "

Hearing this, Harry and Ron exchanged a tacit look.

Now they are filled with a sense of urgency. They are just dance partners... they can just find any girl to get along with them, and they don't dare to hope for anything else.

They did find dance partners in the afternoon. Harry found Parvati Patil, who shared Hermione's dormitory, while Ron found her sister, Padma Patil of Ravenclaw.

...

Due to the Christmas Ball this year, many more people chose to stay in school than in previous years.

After the first semester, most students put homework behind them and enjoy school.

On Christmas Day, it snowed heavily outside.

Aaron sat up from the bed, and a pile of gift boxes was placed on the bedside.

What my parents sent me were a few postcards. The photos were of forests and snowfields, which were quite poetic.

What Genes sent was a piano and some music scores, which could add some decoration to the Shenming Temple.

What surprised him the most was that Adrian also sent him a gift box.

When he opened it with anxiety and curiosity, there was a piece of pure black ore inside, which was probably for the unfinished artifact.

In addition, there is another sentence: I wish you an unforgettable prom.

"baffling."

Aaron curled his lips, washed briefly, and then took Abe out of the dormitory.

Draco was showing off his dress robes in the common room, with his dancing partner Pansy Parkinson giving her occasional input.

"There are still more than ten hours before the dance, do you want to be so serious?" Aaron teased.

"It's just a matter of getting used to it in advance. There are still some differences between wizard robes and formal clothes.

You are one of the brave people who want to dance. It is recommended that you practice dancing with your partner in advance, otherwise you will be embarrassed if you don't dance well at night. "

Aaron: ...

"You don't have to worry about it. I'm a professional."
