Chapter 404 The loyal Gryffindor

December brought blustery winds and sleet to Hogwarts, and everyone wanted to stay by the fire and not go anywhere.

But even if the weather is so bad, it still cannot stop the strong men of Durmstrang. They will still brave the biting cold wind, shirtless, and swim in the black lake.

Especially the famous Bulgarian hunk Viktor Klum. There is always a group of nymphomaniacs surrounding the Black Lake, drooling and screaming at Krum's strong body.

The twins were not idle either. The first project made the two brothers a lot of money. There were really too few people betting on Ada's victory.

Fred and George, who had received the bonus, opened a second handicap, with Fleur paying twenty to one, Harry and Krum paying ten to one, and Ada paying 0.5 to one.

Logically speaking, betting on Ada is a guaranteed profit, and the number of people betting on Ada has also increased, but everyone seems to prefer high-risk, high-reward things. Coupled with the unbridled favoritism of bitch Karkaroff, Krum's approval rating is far ahead.

Furong, well, this time Furong was the worst. Although the odds were extremely high, everyone still kept their sanity. Only a very small number of people choose to take a different approach, eager to "get rich overnight."

In addition, Fred and George's small business has been booming recently. The night after the first project ended, Neville "accidentally ate" the twins' transformation cookies and turned into a canary.

This magical food, which only cost seven silver squid, immediately aroused the interest of the students, and orders came in one after another.

During this period, Fred and George complained happily every day, complaining that they now had no free time at all, and were busy all the time to complete orders, becoming slaves to their work.

On this day, a notice suddenly appeared on the bulletin board of the Gryffindor common room, which read: Tomorrow (Saturday) at 2:30 pm, students in the fourth grade and above will gather in the large classroom on the third floor.

The entire college didn't know what was going on and why Professor McGonagall wanted to gather students from fourth grade and above. Some people came to ask Ada what was going on, but she didn't know much. She only knew that Professor McGonagall seemed to want to announce something.

On Saturday afternoon, Gryffindor students gathered early in the big classroom, waiting for Professor McGonagall to appear.

The desks in the classroom were stacked against the walls of the classroom, and chairs were placed in rows on both sides of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle of the classroom. What surprised the students was that there was a phonograph as tall as one person in the classroom.

The students were talking quietly, and they were all a little curious about the gramophone placed in the classroom. They didn't know what kind of medicine Professor McGonagall was selling in the gourd. At almost half past two, Professor McGonagall arrived, accompanied by the school administrator Argus Filch.

Seeing their dean appear, the little lions immediately shut their mouths and the classroom quickly became quiet. At Professor McGonagall's request, boys and girls stood on both sides of the classroom, and the male and female prefects began to count the number of people.

Professor McGonagall stood in the middle of the classroom, while Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris, stayed by the gramophone.

Professor McGonagall said: "The Yule Ball is coming soon. This is a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament and a great opportunity to enhance communication. The ball is only open to students in fourth grade and above. Of course, junior students can also be invited. join……"

Someone in the girls' queue let out a silly laugh, and Ada immediately followed the sound and looked over. The laugh came from fourth grader Lavender Brown, a silly girl with a love brain.

Ada didn't mean anything else when she looked at it, she just felt that the laughter was a bit harsh and wanted to see who was laughing.

But Ada seemed to have forgotten how she treated the fire dragon before. She just looked at it, but it shocked Parvati Patil, who was also in fourth grade.

Patil quickly gave Lavender Brown a hard poke beside him. The silly girl in love also saw Ada. She immediately lowered her head and tried her best to restrain herself from laughing out loud.

"Put on your formal robes," Professor McGonagall continued. "The ball will be held in the Great Hall at eight o'clock on Christmas Eve and will end at twelve midnight. Listen -"

Professor McGonagall looked at the classmates in the classroom leisurely and said, "The Yule Ball will undoubtedly give us a chance to - well - let our hair down and relax."

This time, not only Lavender Brown wanted to laugh, but everyone in the classroom wanted to laugh, and many people covered their mouths with their hands.

Ada also wanted to laugh. After knowing Professor McGonagall for so long, Ada had almost never seen Professor McGonagall with her hair loose, always pulled into a tight bun.

After laughing, worry came to my heart. Maybe I could try dancing six, but Ada really couldn't dance.

It was a complete blind spot in knowledge. In two lifetimes, the only dance Ada had imitated was Grandma Zhao’s tango. Every time there was any cultural activity in her previous life, Ada would always be a salty fish shouting 666 with everyone under the stage.

At the age of eighteen, at the dance at my alma mater, I stood there like a slave...

There were whispers in the classroom. No wonder the list of items sent before the start of school required a dress robe. This was something that had never been included before.

The Weasley boys also remembered their mother's words during the summer vacation. She really hoped that they could all go back to the Burrow for Christmas, but they probably wouldn't want to go back.

"For nearly a thousand years, Gryffindor House has been highly respected in the wizarding world, and I will never allow you to tarnish its reputation overnight." Professor McGonagall said seriously: "If you jump up and down and act ugly on the day of the prom, , just spend the next school year with me every night.”

As soon as these words came out, the Gryffindors in the classroom immediately put away their previous smiles, and everyone's face was full of reluctance. Just kidding, who can stand having to stay with a very serious head teacher every night!

Because they were so worried, no one listened to what Professor McGonagall said next: "There is a swan sleeping in every girl's heart, and there is a leaping lion in every boy's heart."

But soon the classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, because Professor McGonagall was looking for a male classmate to be a dance partner and teach everyone some basic dance steps for the Yule Ball.

Almost all the girls pursed their lips and snickered, while the boys all lowered their heads and pretended to be ostriches. Professor McGonagall's eyes scanned the queue of boys, and finally this glorious task fell on Ron.

With a confused look on his face, Ron stood up reluctantly, but before he could stand upright, he was pushed out by Harry beside him. Well done, Harry, for redefining what it means to be a friend and what loyalty is.

How to write the word "righteousness"? I am the Lamb,

Under the command of Professor McGonagall, Mr. Ronald Weasley trembled slightly and held the Dean's waist, and began to demonstrate the dance.

The dance steps were not complicated, but they dazzled Ada. As soon as she remembered the movements of this step, she forgot how to dance the previous step. She learns faster than she forgets. After Professor McGonagall and Ron finished demonstrating, Ada didn't learn anything and looked lonely.

Especially after joining hands with her dance partner, Ada's legs felt like tweezers that couldn't be broken apart, and she even stepped on her partner's shoes several times. Ada felt that her body might have its own thoughts...

The boys and girls gathered together, spinning, jumping, and closing their eyes, while Ada looked like a dull piece of wood or a human top, spinning around under the control of her dance partner.

Just when everyone was addicted to dancing and couldn't extricate themselves, Professor McGonagall found Ada and Harry, which shattered Ada's last hope.

Professor McGonagall said: "According to traditional practice, the dance is started by warriors and their partners. Therefore, Ada and Harry, you two must be the first to appear with your partners."

Ada tried to struggle. She was really not good at dancing and would most likely make a fool of herself. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, Harry, don't blame your sister for being cruel!

"Uh, Professor... you see, normally there are only three warriors in the Triwizard Tournament. Krum, Delacour, and Harry are exactly three people. I don't need to go. ?”

After Harry heard Ada's remarks, his face was shocked, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost fell to his feet!

I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect, Ada, how could you be so unloyal!
