Encouraged by Newt Scamander, and even assigned many tasks by Tweel, Hermione and Fleur were smiling when they saw everyone during this period.

Forget it about Hermione, after all, she is a top student in Hogwarts who is not disliked by anyone. Being friendly will make her more popular.

But Furong is different.

There is a smile on weekdays, but it is just a polite smile.

But now even a guy like Ron can tell that she is in a good mood!

“Do you think the two of them are so happy?”

In the library, Ron whispered to Harry while looking at Fleur and Hermione who looked happy across from them.

Not far away, Viktor, who had failed to talk to him several times, was equally puzzled.

As December approaches, an extremely important event, especially for warriors like them, is about to begin.

Christmas ball!

And every warrior needs a dance partner to dance the opening dance.

So as soon as the news spread, Hogwarts fell into a cheerful, or rather sweet, atmosphere.

This is why, even if Hermione and Fleur are in a good mood, they don’t stand out in the castle.

Because everyone is like this!

Of course, it is currently limited to students who have found dance partners. As for warriors like Viktor and Harry who are still having headaches for dance partners, they cannot be happy.

“This is a good thing. At least if we invite them, the success rate will be higher.” Harry said casually, but his eyes were searching in the library.

Ron didn’t pay attention to his good friend’s absent-mindedness. He stared at Fleur with bright eyes and couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.

“You’re right, the success rate is highest at this time!” He stood up excitedly, and the sound of dragging chairs attracted the attention of everyone present.

Harry was startled by his movement and quickly tugged on his robes, trying to pull him back.

“What are you going to do?”

“As you said, go and invite Fleur to be my dance partner.”

Ron said matter-of-factly, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger, as if he had imagined the beautiful scene of Fleur being held in his arms and dancing at the ball.

“?” Harry felt like his head was filled with questions, “When did I say such a thing?”

“It doesn’t matter, I seem to have seen the scene of Furong walking towards me…”

“Because they are indeed coming towards us…” Harry said helplessly.

He quickly stood up and smiled at Fleur somewhat cautiously.

The relationship between the warriors in the first competition has improved a lot, but he is always a little nervous when facing this Veela hybrid who always exudes charm.

“What are you still doing here?” Hermione said angrily.

“Where are you going if you don’t stay here?” Ron was suddenly awakened.

“You just made such a big noise, do you expect Mrs. Pingsi not to notice?! Come on, I’ll take you to a good place!”

After saying that, Hermione ignored Harry and Ron who were stunned, and left the library talking and laughing with Fleur.

“Then…should we go or not?” Ron asked nervously.

“Go ahead, why, you don’t want to invite Fleur?” Harry teased and pulled Ron to follow him.

“I suddenly thought about it, and I always felt that Fleur would rather go to the ball with Hermione than be my dance partner.”

“How could two girls go to prom together?!”

“That’s right, then Furong won’t be my dance partner.”

Seeing such a confident Ron, Harry didn’t know what to say.

“…”

He glanced helplessly at the surrounding environment. After going downstairs, they walked through the auditorium and continued down the other direction of the underground classroom.

“Strictly speaking, this is not a basement. It is equivalent to the mezzanine between the underground and the first floor.” Hermione turned around to explain.

Harry also discovered the difference between the basement and this place.

The basement is basically as spooky as the potions classroom and the potions teacher, and here is an ordinary, but rare bright corridor.

There are various pictures of food hanging around, which looks very different from the basement.

“Wait, is this the kitchen?” Harry finally reacted.

“You don’t want to let those house elves wield knives and forks to drive us out of Hogwarts, do you?” Ron also noticed something was wrong.

“Please, I’m not that naive!”

Hermione rolled her eyes, walked over to a picture of a large green pear, and gently scratched the pear.

“Boxes and boxes…”

Pear chuckled strangely and suddenly turned into a green doorknob.

Hermione

He and Furong looked at each other excitedly, held their hands, and pulled hard——

A huge room appeared in front of them.

Just looking at the area, the high ceiling, and the four academic tables placed in the center of the room, Harry thought they were in the auditorium.

But instead of torches or decorative banners, the surrounding stone walls were lined with gleaming copper pots and basins.

There is also a huge fireplace at the other end of the room, and many small green things are walking around the room in a hurry but orderly manner.

These are the house elves of Hogwarts who clean and cook for them!

Harry was watching this scene with emotion when suddenly, a little thing broke away from the busy team.

“Harry Potter, sir! Harry Potter!”

The elf screamed as he rushed towards Harry.

Then, the petite elf slammed into Harry’s stomach and hugged him tightly.

“Okay Dobby, if you keep hugging him like this, Harry will be out of breath.”

Tver put the small wallet in his pocket and appeared in front of everyone from behind Dobby.

“Professor?” Harry said in surprise, “And Dobby? Why are you here?”

“Dobby works here!” Dobby squeaked excitedly. “Mr. Dumbledore gave Dobby a job!”

“A job with wages and holidays.” Hermione emphasized.

“That’s right! Galleons every Monday, and one day off every month!” Dobby agreed happily.

Hermione was not very happy about this, but Fleur whispered in her ear: “This is the beginning of progress, don’t forget the purpose of our coming here!”

She nodded reluctantly.

But the surrounding house elves did not accept this idea very much. When they saw new guests coming, the other elves quickly served Tweel’s remaining cookies and pumpkin juice.

Just hearing Dobby’s words, the enthusiasm on their faces suddenly diminished a lot.

“A few guests are invited to enjoy it slowly!”

Several elves wearing tea towels with the Hogwarts crest thrust the plates and teapot into Harry and Ron’s hands and went back to work.

“I almost thought they were going to throw cookies on us.” Ron curled his lips.

“Eat yours!” Hermione stuffed the cookie into her mouth angrily.
