Chapter 392 Harry's Combination of Knowledge and Action

The popularity of the Ice and Snow World quickly swept the entire magical world, attracting countless wizards to come.

The flow of people in the new town of Hogsmeade is more than double that of usual, and the streets are crowded and bustling.

The merchants were all making a lot of money and always had smiles on their faces. They worked overtime to replenish their goods and even hired many students temporarily to cope with the peak customer flow.

This move solved the urgent needs of international exchange students.

There is no way around it. The new town of Hogsmeade is so much fun that some people have spent almost all of their money. If they want to continue living a good life, they have to find a way to work and earn money.

However, you have to earn money in New City and spend it in New City, so don't even think about taking a copper kart home.

At the same time, Hogwarts' exclusive store also opened for the first time. Sebastian specially arranged for students who performed well in entrepreneurial practice activities to be in the store to provide tourists with unique products and experiences.

Hannah Abbott's shape-shifting cakes are so popular that demand is outstripping supply.

To this end, she hired her good friend Susan Burns to sell in the store, while she herself was busy baking cakes in the kitchen. As for Neville, he turned into a delivery boy, constantly shuttling between the Hogwarts kitchen and the new town store.

The twins' counter was also very lively, with tourists lining up to buy their goods.

Fred enthusiastically promoted the product: "Come and take a look, this is a magical winter warming amulet!"

"Once you wear it, you can feel the warmth of spring no matter it is snowing or freezing cold."

"For only three gold galleons, you can enjoy the Ice and Snow World in a relaxed manner," George also shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by."

In addition to the warmth-keeping amulets, they also have other novel inventions, such as snowflake earrings that emit brilliant light, and small mini ice sculptures for decoration.

Inspired by the shape-shifting cake, the two of them also developed canary cookies. After eating them, tourists will grow feathers all over their bodies and turn into a big canary.

Ron squeezed in front of the two men and picked up three warmth charms.

This amulet is of good quality and can be given to his friends as a Christmas gift.

"I want these three. How much is it in total?"

"No cheating, nine Galleons in total."

"Ah?" Ron raised his eyebrows. "I'm your younger brother, so there's no discount?"

"In that case," Fred and George said in unison, "then 10 Galleons!"

Ron knew that the twins were playing a trick on him, so he chuckled, put down the nine gold Galleons and ran away.

Fred and George looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes.

Little Ronnie is still silly and doesn't even know how to bargain.

How about this, little Ronnie doesn’t have a proper Christmas suit yet, so let’s give him a suit as a Christmas gift this year.

............

Christmas arrived in a lively atmosphere, and the little wizards also welcomed the Christmas ball they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Harry changed into his dress in his dormitory, then stood in front of the mirror and tried to make his hair behave.

He held the comb in his left hand and the wand in his right hand and tried a few simple setting spells, but found that he failed every time.

Hey......

My hair is so difficult to take care of. Maybe I should ask Draco to get some hair wax.

But he quickly gave up the idea.

Since I can't comb my hair flat, I'll just leave it as it is.

Harry threw down the comb, turned around and looked at Ron who was practicing smiling in front of the mirror, and said teasingly, "That's enough, Ron, you're already handsome enough. If you keep practicing, the mirror will be blown away by your handsomeness."

Ron tugged at his tie and muttered, "You don't understand, this is my big day. You don't have to wait for me, go find Ginny first."

"Let me fix my hair," Ron looked at him in the mirror and reminded him half-jokingly, "Remember to be nice to Ginny. She's my sister!"

"Don't worry, I will." Harry waved to Ron, pushed open the door of the dormitory and walked out.

As he entered the common room, his eyes were immediately drawn to a bright red.

That was Ginny, she was sitting on the sofa next to the fireplace, wearing a burgundy dress with a delicate silver belt around her waist, looking particularly elegant and charming.

Her hair was gently pulled up, revealing her slender neck and delicate earrings.

At this moment, Ginny had a faint smile on her face and was talking in a low voice with her friends.

However, when she turned and saw Harry, her eyes, bright as stars, immediately shone.

"Harry!" she called softly, saying goodbye to her friends and running towards him.

Harry's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

Merlin's Christmas Ball!

Ginny is so beautiful tonight, I never noticed it before!

The little girl stopped in front of Harry, her cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes filled with anticipation.

Harry quickly adjusted his expression, stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "Shall we go?"

Ginny shyly took Harry's arm, and the two walked out of the common room side by side, down the stairs, through the brightly lit corridor, and into the foyer in front of the Great Hall.

The lobby was already bustling with people, with students gathered in groups of three or four, waiting for the auditorium door to open on time at eight o'clock.

The boys all changed out of their usual school uniforms and put on formal dress robes, while the girls were dressed up in their best clothes, each one like a blooming flower, a feast for the eyes.

As Harry scanned the room, looking for the warriors and their dance partners, a group of Slytherin students slowly approached.

They were all dressed appropriately and looked calm, as if the Christmas ball was just a part of their daily life.

Walking in the front was Malfoy, wearing a perfectly tailored black velvet high-collared dress robe with silver embroidery on the cuffs, looking both solemn and elegant.

With his chin slightly raised and his blond hair neatly arranged, he looked like a handsome man who had walked out of a classical portrait.

A girl in an emerald green dress was holding his arm. No need to guess, it was Astoria Greengrass, whom Malfoy often mentioned.

Seeing this scene, Harry suddenly felt a little insecure.

There was no way. He had previously despised the other party in his heart for being shameless and actually finding a school girl as his dance partner.

Unexpectedly, as fate would have it, my Christmas dance partner was also a third-grade junior schoolmate.

Fortunately, I have never made fun of Malfoy in person before, otherwise I don’t know what this guy would do to me now.

Malfoy obviously noticed Harry as well. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he walked straight over with Astoria.

"Hey, Harry, you're dressed pretty well," Malfoy said with a smile, "Is this your dance partner? If I'm not mistaken, this is Weasley's sister Ginny. She's very beautiful. You really practice what you preach."

Harry's face turned slightly red, and he quickly changed the subject and started chatting with the other party. Ginny and Astoria also joined in the conversation, and everyone quickly became familiar with each other.

When facing Ginny, Malfoy did not start a quarrel with her as he did with Ron. Instead, he was graceful and gentlemanly.

Before they knew it, it was eight o'clock, the door of the auditorium opened, and Professor McGonagall walked out.

"Warriors, please bring your dance partners to my side."
