Krum suddenly remembered that the second warrior from Beauxbatons had extended an invitation to him yesterday, and perhaps he should accept.
In the end, Harry was the only warrior left without a dance partner.
Harry also realized the predicament he was facing.
After comforting each other with Ron, he left the lounge.
He knew that as a warrior, he would lose face if people heard that he didn't have a dance partner.
With Christmas just around the corner, he had to go out and find girls who didn't have dance partners yet.
This time, he was determined that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he had to go all the way.
"Potter, what are you doing here?" Malfoy happened to pass by and saw Harry looking around. He said sarcastically, "Our hero still hasn't found a dance partner. It seems everyone knows your true colors now."
As he spoke, he showed the other person the bright green badge on his chest.
The "Potter Stinky Shit" above is sparkling.
“This is a winter-proof badge. I had George and Fred make it for me,” Malfoy boasted. “It cost me ten Galleons.”
Harry glared at Malfoy, inwardly blaming the Weasley brothers.
Why would someone do anything for money?
Of course, Harry wasn't outdone in verbal sparring either:
“Don’t talk nonsense, Malfoy! Mind your own business!” he immediately retorted. “And you, who is your dance partner?”
“Pansy Parkinson!” Malfoy replied smugly. “I found him right away. I bet now only you and Ron Weasley are still without dance partners. That poor bastard Weasley was just rejected by the Beauxbatons' champions. Is he crying in bed right now?”
"So it's a lion's head!" Harry looked at Malfoy with pity...
He chuckled inwardly. Pansy Parkinson was a notoriously ugly girl in Slytherin, and the thought that she was Malfoy's dance partner instantly improved Harry's mood.
“Scarface, why don’t you look at yourself before you criticize others?” Malfoy said coldly, his face flushed. “I remember that warriors must have their own dance partners. You can join with Weasley and have him dress up as a girl, which is a good option.”
Upon hearing Malfoy's words, the wizards passing by couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley would be a perfect match if they were dance partners.
The young wizards couldn't help but think of the previous Daily Prophet article about the love triangle between Harry, Ron, and Krum.
They could almost picture the comical scene of Harry and Ron becoming dance partners.
The girls looked at Harry with disdain, pointed and walked away.
"Shut up, Malfoy, and get the hell out of here!"
Harry didn't want to get entangled with Malfoy; who knew what else he might say, which would make it even harder for him to find a dance partner.
So he quickly ran away.
He wandered around outside but found nothing.
Just as he was about to return to the lounge, he happened to see Parvati and Lavender emerge from the hole behind the portrait.
"The opportunity came!"
Harry's eyes lit up, and he mustered his courage to say to himself, "Make the most of this opportunity! You can't go on stage with Eloise Middlegen!"
He made up his mind, walked straight to Parvati, and asked, somewhat nervously but still firmly, "Parvati, would you like to come to the ball with me?"
Parvati looked at Harry and chuckled.
"No, I've already promised Steve," she finally said.

“We get along well in the erudite society,” she added.
"I see, I'm so sorry."
Harry expressed his understanding.
In fact, as the most coveted club at Hogwarts, the young wizards in the Erudite Society have always been very popular when it comes to inviting dance partners.
The members of the society were well aware of this, but they preferred to keep it to themselves.
Although he was somewhat disappointed by Parvati's rejection, he did not give up and turned to Parvati's companion, asking, "Ravend, would you...?"
“Oh, I’m sorry, she’s already agreed to Simon’s offer.” Parvati’s tone was somewhat strange.
They both laughed even harder.
“What about Ron and me?” Harry sighed and asked in a low voice.
“Let me think,” Parvati pondered. “My sister could probably… her name is Padma, you know… in Ravenclaw. I’ll ask her if you’d like.”
"You don't need to ask anymore, just now, Padma agreed to be Michael's dance partner!" A sudden voice rang in the ears of the three of them. Harry looked up and saw that it was Levin.
He appeared here at some point, I don't know.
Chapter 339 Malfoy's Great Idea
After Levin and Hermione showed off their affection in front of Krum, they broke up.
Hermione still wanted to study the golden egg, and she insisted that Levin not interfere, wanting to demonstrate her true abilities.
As for Levin, he was very unhappy about Ron tattling on him, and then suddenly remembered that he had promised Hermione that he wouldn't let Ron find a dance partner.
Although it was just a casual remark, Levin immediately took it to heart after today's incident.
He thought about the byproducts of his recent experiment and quickly came up with an idea, so he came here in person.
Looking at Harry before him, Levin couldn't help but show a look of pity, thinking to himself, "It's a pity I have to drag you into this, Potter. But what can you do when you and Ron are such good friends, bound by the power of 'Love's Protection'?"
"Are you looking for Hermione?" Harry, oblivious to the situation, kindly reminded him. "She's not here. I remember she went back to the common room a while ago, but she left shortly after."
“Oh, no, I’m not here to see Hermione.” Levin waved his hand. “I was just passing by and happened to overhear you talking about Padma.”
Harry asked curiously, "How did you know they became dance partners?"
“They were all members of the Hundred Knowledge Society in 08,” Levin shrugged. “I saw it with my own eyes after I finished teaching them.”
Harry frowned but didn't say anything more. It seemed he was destined to never find a dance partner!
At that moment, a voice he disliked suddenly rang out.
Malfoy said in a strange tone, "Potter, if you just go with Ron Weasley, you won't have to worry about dance partners, right?"
He then winked at Levin.
“Your idea is quite novel, but upon closer inspection, it’s not unreasonable,” Levin said after thinking for a moment.
Then, he nodded almost imperceptibly.
“Thank you, I think my idea is definitely good!” Malfoy looked at Levin, then pointed to the people crowding around him and said, “Obviously everyone thinks the same way, right!”
Parvati and Lavender exchanged a glance and laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Thanks for your suggestion, Malfoy,” Harry said irritably. “I think your good idea could be given to Goyle and Crabbe to try.”
Malfoy's two henchmen were furious upon hearing this, stepped forward, and glared at Harry with threatening eyes.
Malfoy covered his face with his hands and burst into laughter: "Potter, with your emotional intelligence, it's not your fault you're single. I suggest that if you can't find a girlfriend in the future, you could consider Ron Weasley; he would be a good choice!"
After saying that, he left with his two henchmen.
“Harry.” Levin looked at the boy who had miraculously survived and shook his head, saying with a hint of pity, “If you and Ron really can’t find a dance partner, you can come to me on Christmas Day. I might have a way.”
With that, he walked away.
Turning the corner, Levin saw Malfoy waiting for him there.
At this moment, Malfoy changed his arrogant demeanor in front of Harry and his expression became somewhat ingratiating.
"Levin, how did I do just now?" he asked cautiously.
“Well done, Malfoy, thank you for cooperating with me,” Levin nodded in approval.
Upon hearing this, Malfoy grinned from ear to ear, as if he had received some special honor.
Levin shook his head and added, "This must not be revealed to anyone, not even Pansy Parkinson."
“Of course, of course,” Malfoy nodded repeatedly.
Levin waved his hand and left.
Before we knew it, Christmas had arrived.
Heavy snow fell on the castle and the grounds.
Beauxbatons' light blue carriage was also newly decorated, with its bells replaced by large blue lanterns. From a distance, it looked like a large, frosty pumpkin in winter.
The gingerbread house next to it, sprinkled with powdered sugar, is Hagrid's cabin.
The gunwales of the Durmstrang ship were covered with a layer of ice, making them smooth and shiny, and the sails were also covered with a layer of white frost.
Inside the castle, the professors, along with the prefects, decorated the school with lanterns and colorful decorations.
They were determined to present Hogwarts at its best this Christmas and impress the guests at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.
The marble staircase railings were covered with icicles that never melted, and the twelve Christmas trees that were always placed in the auditorium were decorated with all sorts of little trinkets, from glittering holly berries to live, chirping golden owls.
The armor was enchanted; it would sing Christmas carols whenever someone passed by.
It's truly hilarious to hear an empty helmet singing "Oh, come on, you pious people."
To make matters worse, the armor only knew half of the lyrics.
So Peeves found a new trick: he hid inside the armor, and whenever the armor couldn't continue singing, he would make up some lyrics to fill in the gaps—all very crude and unpleasant words.
George and Weasley start selling new products again, including the "Canary" cookies that make people grow feathers, the Fat Tongue Toffee that makes people grow big tongues, the Quick Skip Candy that makes people suffer from various acute illnesses, the Crazy Beard Growth Balm, and the Portable Snowflake.
The former was inspired by the aging agent that had gone wrong. Under Levin's guidance, the twins finally recreated the effect of when they had forced their way past the age limit and ended up with white beards.
Simply apply Crazy Beard Growth Cream to the face of someone you dislike, and regardless of whether they are male or female, they will instantly grow a long, bushy beard.
The latter is a small bottle containing a snowflake, which stores the degraded "Blizzard". Once the bottle is opened, a small patch of snow will be created above one's head.
Because of their romantic appeal, portable snowflakes have become the most fashionable Christmas gift. Little wizards are scrambling to buy them, giving them to their dance partners or those they want to invite to dance.
A perfectly timed indoor light snowfall can easily capture the hearts of girls.
On Christmas morning, Levin woke up early in the morning.
This year, there were even more gifts delivered to the dormitory than last year, leaving almost no room to move around.
