Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 510 The Budding Love Between the Sword Saint and Little Dragon! The Lead Dancer Scandal at t

Besides the three little ones, Neville, the discipline committee member who has overcome the aftereffects of the Oblivion Curse and become more perceptive, and his teammate Hannah Abbott, the Iron Hat Queen, also develop different feelings for each other.

Hannah is a loyal and kind little witch, which fits the identity of a Hedgehog student, but she also has personality flaws. She is easily swayed by what others say, which affects her own judgment. At the same time, she lacks confidence and is not good at coping with pressure.

Regardless of whether he is slow-witted or forgetful, Neville, who has always possessed a firm will and was able to withstand pressure at crucial moments, stand up to express his views, and correct mistakes, is undoubtedly complementary to Hannah's personality.

Therefore, thanks to the opportunity presented by the four-house joint team, Neville and Hannah are able to get together even faster than in the original story.

Of course, they are the same; they haven't made their relationship public yet.

Adolescent feelings are often budding and require both parties to spend more time together and confirm their own feelings.

Another person we have to mention is that kid Draco Malfoy.

How should I put it? This guy seems to have enjoyed the same treatment as both Harry and Hermione.

After the shattering of his obsessive love for Pansy Parkinson and the passing of some of his suitors who had become corrupted purebloods, Draco has found his second and third spring this academic year.

Astoria, who just enrolled this academic year, is experiencing a second spring.

This girlfriend, Draco's official love interest in the original story, never showed any prejudice against the corrupt purebloods. She even admired Draco during the Malfoy family's previous efforts to divide the corrupt pureblood forces in Britain.

Draco not only aligned himself with her in terms of ideology, but also had the courage and wisdom to influence the stubborn and corrupt pure-blood wizards. He even bravely stood up and publicly exposed the nature of bloodline discrimination, guiding the corrupt British pure-blood forces that had been decaying for thousands of years to make changes.

This light and grandeur left an indelible impression on Astoria.

In her view, compared to Harry Potter's infancy when he unwittingly injures Voldemort and gains the title of savior due to his mother's schemes, Draco's current reputation is more well-deserved.

So, just as Ginny idolized Harry, Astoria idolized Draco.

But Astoria's personality is different from Ginny's; compared to Ginny's fiery passion, she is more gentle and tender.

Unlike Ginny, she was not outgoing and enjoyed making friends. Apart from being very considerate to Draco, she was very indifferent to other classmates.

The third spring, however, is a character outside the original story. She is a young female cultivator among the secret practitioners of the Huaxia team, and Miss Chi Jiyue, the most outstanding grand-disciple of the ancestor Zhengyuan.

Perhaps it was Draco's outstanding appearance with his blond hair and gray eyes, coupled with the fact that his remarkable achievements in dividing, selecting, and changing the corrupt pure-blood forces in Britain had already spread.

This female mage from China has taken a liking to Draco.

Just like Krum fell for Hermione.

In terms of looks, Miss Chi is no less attractive than Astoria, and at almost eighteen years old, she has blossomed and is even more charming.

In terms of strength and cultivation, as a leading figure among the younger generation of Chinese martial arts practitioners, Miss Chi's current cultivation level is close to that of an ordinary professor. If the Dao Seal magic weapon in her hand is included, her strength is 30% stronger.

Even with the abundant and unique teaching resources at Hogwarts, Astoria, who just enrolled this academic year, will not be able to catch up with Miss Chi's strength in a short period of time.

But feelings shouldn't be compared like that.

Draco clearly prefers Astoria.

In some ways, similar to Harry, Draco also prefers a girlfriend who is tolerant and considerate of him.

However, Miss Chi is quite different from Krum. She is not only unwilling to admit defeat in battle, but also unwilling to give up easily in matters of the heart.

Draco's aloofness only fueled her competitive spirit.

In matters of the heart, Astoria also demonstrated remarkable resilience.

Two girls of different nationalities, backgrounds, ages, and cultures got into a competition.

Fortunately, Miss Chi was sensible. Considering Astoria's age and magical abilities, she was very restrained, and this contest did not escalate to physical confrontation.

Astoria was even more indignant about this, and she began to study magic diligently, setting the acceleration level in her dream realm very high at night.

Although she doesn't experience the maximum 100x speed-up every night like Hermione, Astoria still tries to speed up time every now and then.

Dudley and the other professors were happy to see this kind of motivation to learn born from love.

Time slowly passed until Christmas Eve in 1993.

Thanks to the participation of seven exchange teams, this year's event will include not only a Christmas dinner but also a Christmas dance.

Compared to the Christmas ball in the original story during the Three Kingdoms Tournament, this Christmas ball was even grander and more fulfilling for the three little ones.

Unlike in the original story, Ron didn't ignore Hermione and worry about choosing a dance partner on his own. Instead, he asked Hermione early on if she could be his dance partner.

Hermione was overjoyed, even more so than if she had read two more spellbooks.

In the midst of her busy schedule, she took the initiative to take care of her makeup and attire for the first time.

Without consulting Madam Pomfrey, Hermione used her self-taught medical magic to restore her front teeth to normal, styled her thick, fluffy brown hair, and used Transfiguration to create an exquisite and beautiful pink evening gown.

His appearance that evening drew gasps of amazement from the students, with Harry and Ron looking utterly astonished.

This Hermione is so different from her previous image that the contrast is just too great.

Ron had thought that the super cool suit he had specially asked Dudley to conjure up would surprise Hermione, but this was the result.

But this result isn't bad.

Ron extended his hand to Hermione, his expression and movements clearly rehearsed beforehand, displaying a very gentlemanly demeanor. Hermione smiled and placed her hand in his.

After completing the preparations, they did not immediately go to the dance floor to dance.

The same applies to the other students.

Harry and Ginny, Cho Chang and Cedric, Neville and Hannah, Draco and Astoria... Hogwarts students each paired up with their own dance partners, and some even formed dance partners with exchange students from outside the school.

But instead of immediately going to the dance floor to dance, everyone turned to look at Dali, who was sitting alone on a chair on the outer edge, drinking orange soda.

Unlike the original story's Triwizard Tournament, where a warrior chosen by the Goblet of Fire would lead the dance, the current Eight Directions Exchange event lacks formal competition. Therefore, the lead dancer must be someone whom everyone can trust.

In everyone's opinion, Dali was clearly the best candidate.

No one, including Harry and his friends, told Dudley about this beforehand, and Dudley didn't try to sense it either. In the beginning, he even rejected all the girls who asked him to be their dance partner.

He came to the Christmas ball with the intention of enjoying the performance and having fun.

The only suggestion for this dance is to remove the age limit, so that all students, both inside and outside the school, who want to attend the dance, regardless of whether they are in the fourth year or above, can participate.

He wasn't planning to lead the dance!

If you haven't learned to dance, you can use the dance spell 'Tarantella Dance' to solve this problem.

But how can you lead the dance if you don't have a dance partner?

The students looking towards Dali, as well as the professors and team leaders observing from the other side, noticed this situation.

The crowd fell silent, the music stopped, and the scene became extremely quiet.

It seems that things have reached a stalemate.

But Dudley quickly noticed that Parvati Petit, the Gryffindor beauty in the same year as Harry and of South Asian descent, her twin sister Padma Petit from Ravenclaw, and other girls who had previously asked Dudley to be their dance partner...

There are signs that she is temporarily separating from her current dance partner and coming back to Dali to ask to be his new dance partner.

Their dance partners didn't seem to be too opposed to this, obviously because it was arranged in advance.

In their minds, given the current situation, they had no choice but to act. Dali had to consider his manners and face, and choose someone to be his dance partner and lead the dance. After leading the dance, he would even dance a separate dance with the other people who were not chosen.

But... how could Dudley allow himself to get into such a troublesome situation?

He sensed the trouble and immediately stood up before they could act, saying:

"Since everyone is willing to let me lead the dance, then I'll put on a show."

As he spoke, Dali waved his hand and cast a spell, and dazzling magical lights of various colors emerged, flying to the center of the dance floor and transforming into dancers composed of eight magical elements: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, thunder, and ice.

The four figures are depicted as men, and the four figures as women. They are paired up as dance partners and assume the posture for a ballroom dance.

"Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"
