Chapter 22 The Three Bachelors
December brought strong winds and rains to Hogwarts. Although there is always wind in the castle in winter, Ravenclaw's public lounge is always warm as spring. Thanks to the preferential treatment of participants in the Triumph Championship, Silver could comfortably occupy a sofa alone, and then lie down to watch his classmates tortured by the complicated homework.
"Hey, Jack, I don't think this is fair at all! Why can you avoid doing homework and enjoy the final exam without exam!" Michael muttered. He accidentally sprinkled the ink on the ancient magic text homework that was about to be completed. After two hours, the magic text that he carefully copied was destroyed.
"Oh, no!!!" Michael let out a sharp scream, "I don't want to draw for another two hours!"
"Michael, I have reminded you that you should not be absent when doing ancient magic text homework." Silver sat up lazily from the sofa, "When you envy me for the privilege of not being able to test, it is best to think that I risk my life to participate in the Three Thousands Championship. Well, be careful, your magic text is a bit wrong."
"What?" Michael Kona put his face close to the oak paper written with magical text, and wanted to take a closer look.
"Bang." The oak paper burst open, making Michael Kona's face dark.
"Uh, I was about to say that you accidentally constructed an explosion circuit demon text just now." Silver looked innocent.
The other students in the common room couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw Michael's embarrassing appearance.
"Damn." Michael Kona felt embarrassed, especially when he found out that Qiu Zhang, who had been secretly in love with him for a long time, was among the people who were laughing.
He found a guy who could vent his anger.
"Antoning, you are so embarrassed to laugh! Who asked to open the golden egg last time? But she was so scared that she almost pissed her pants by the screams of the female ghost."
"Michael, I remember you were scared too." Of course Antonin would not give in, and his aftermath also glanced at a third-grade girl with light brown short hair.
"Enough, what's the difference between you now and a rooster in heat." Silver rolled his eyes indecently, "Isn't it just a Christmas party? Even if I can't find a partner, I won't laugh at you."
"Absolutely not!" Michael and Antonin shouted together, "You think so is the greatest insult to us!"
"Okay OK, so I wish you a suitable dance partner. I don't have time to chat with you. Qiu Zheng waved to me, as if there was something to come to me."
"Oh, damn it, why is it not my turn to do good things?" Michael said in a sour tone.

Since defeating the Hungarian Tree Bee, Harry felt that his life had been much better. What made him most happy was that Ron reconciled with him.
In addition, there were fewer people in the corridor who pointed at him and said irrelevantly. Although the Slytherins would still say loudly that Hogwarts had only one Warrior and imitate Harry's rapid fall after being injured. There were still gossips, but overall it still improved a lot - at least there were much less conflict in the corridor.
The only thing that made Harry uncomfortable was that the number of badges supporting Jack Silver did not decrease, but instead increased.
In the Transformation class, Professor McGonagall announced the upcoming Christmas dance and also made Harry a little troubled. As a Warrior, he had to find a dance partner, but Harry had not yet figured out who he should find.
Ron reminded him that there will be girls who will take the initiative to be his dance partner. Those who can take the initiative to deliver them are either taller than him or who are taller, uh, not very beautiful. Harry rejected them without thinking. Now there are no girls who will harass him, but Harry's dance partner candidate is no longer there.
Rita Skit published an article for Harry Potter in the Daily Prophet. The article is full of inspirational jokes and touching details: for example, when narrating the Triple Championship for Golden Egg, Rita Skit passed the performance of the other three Warriors and spent a whole page to tell how excellent his flying skills were and how he could seize the golden egg with injuries. Many students suspected that Rita Skit had taken Harry's Golden Egg. But soon Rita Skit's second report dispelled their suspicion.
Rita Skitter portrayed Harry Potter as a guy who has ulterior motives to his best friend's sister. The article reads:
"Obviously, the warrior of Hogwarts, Harry Potter, also had the same troubles as other adolescent boys. The best friend's sister loved her so obsessed with her, and Harry was so obsessed with that girl. So we have to make such a guess, is the friendship between Ron Weasley and Harry Potter destined at the 9/3/4 train station, when Harry and Ginny first met?"
However, most people did not believe Rita Skit in this regard, because no one believed that Harry Potter would be so precocious, but this report undoubtedly gave the Slytherins a lot of fun.
"Hey, Potter, did I hear you're going to dance with your little bride?"
"I'm really sad for Weasley, his best friend actually has ideas about his sister."
Fortunately, Ron believed in Harry very much, which made Harry not embarrassed, but Ginny didn't dare to look at him now - she would run away with a red face when she saw Harry. According to Ron, Ginny was shy and she planned to go back to the Burrow on Christmas.
The teachers and students of Hogwarts continued to show their desire to impress Busbaton and Demstrong's guests, and they seemed determined to show the best of the castle this Christmas - the school was decorated with lights and decorations, and Harry found that he had never seen such a beautiful decoration since he entered the school.
The marble staircase was hung with icicles that never melted. The twelve Christmas trees that were often placed in the auditorium were decorated with various small things, from shiny holly fruits to the living golden owls that kept chirping. The armor was magically sang Christmas carols whenever someone passed by. It was so funny that an empty helmet sang "Oh, come on, you devout people," which was really funny. The armor only knew half of the lyrics, and the janitor Felch had to pull the Pipi ghost out of the armor several times, because Pipi ghost was hiding inside, and whenever he could not sing the armor, he would make up some lyrics himself to fill it in, all of which were very rough and ugly words.
