Chapter 631 Shirley's Confession
After the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang came to Hogwarts, there was a vote for the students to choose the most beautiful girls from the three magic schools.
Fourteen-year-old Shirley Swinton, even though her cheeks and figure hadn't fully grown, still defeated Fleur Delacour by a small margin and became the champion of the vote.
Even a mixed-race veela like Furong couldn't hold Shirley back. It can be seen how stunningly beautiful her face is.
In particular, the iconic red ponytail has become a beautiful sight at Hogwarts, so many girls don't want to wear ponytails anymore.
It's like no one wants to bump into a shirt with a beautiful woman, because they will look ugly.
Therefore, Shirley is undoubtedly the most desirable dance partner for most boys.
When she left the Ravenclaw table, shaking her ponytail and walking alone among the crowd, most of the boys noticed her first.
But for a while, no one stepped forward to invite her. She had already rejected invitations from many boys. Students who lacked self-confidence really didn't dare to strike up a conversation.
But after hesitating for a moment, Dondarion seized the opportunity to leave the Slytherin table first, and stopped Shirley. He stared at that coveted face with a bright smile and said:
"Swinton, I'm sorry to bother you, but I couldn't stand the instigation of a few friends. They made a bet with me that I would fail when I invited you as a dance partner. If they lost, they would lose to me by two thousand Galleons."
Dondarien grinned, and said empathetically:
"If you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be my dance partner, as long as you promise verbally and falsely, help me win the bet, and then go back on it later."
"And if we win two thousand Galleons in a bet, we'll get fifty to five points." Don Delion smiled earnestly and said:
"For the sake of my classmates, please help me."
The so-called "gamble" is of course a lie made up by Don Delion. His real purpose is to invite Shirley to be his dance partner.
But if the invitation is sent out directly, there is a high possibility of being rejected. Tang Delion intends to find another way and use other methods to trick Xueli.
He spent money to buy information from Ravenclaw students, and knew that Swinton was serving as Scamander's assistant to earn living expenses, which showed that she was short of money.
Facing such a poor girl, Dondarien believed that Garen's offensive would be more effective.
As long as you agree to the fake partner plan, you can get a thousand Galleons. Swinton will definitely agree. After all, it is a thousand Galleons, which is equivalent to her salary for several years!
Once Swinton agrees, Dondarrion will follow up with tricks and tricks, so that she will finally become his dance partner.
It must be extravagant to spend a thousand Galleons to pick up a girl, but it is also worth it to have this astonishing girl as your dance partner.
Tang Delion was about to step up his offensive, and when he changed the five-five points to seven-three points, the ponytail girl's next words made him break through the defense in an instant.
Shirley looked at him with a frown and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
Dondarion froze in place.
There will be overlap in courses between different houses, just like Slytherin and Ravenclaw Houses will have Charms, History of Magic and Herbalism classes together.
In the past four years, although he and Swinton have hardly spoken, they have attended classes in the same classroom many times, and met each other close or far, at least hundreds of times, right?
Swinton doesn't even know who he is, is he so invisible?
Dondarion's chest suddenly choked uncomfortably, and he couldn't speak a word.
Seeing that there were more and more witches around Rove, Shirley ignored this inexplicable guy, walked around him, and walked towards the Hufflepuff table.
Many students noticed this scene, and they seemed to realize something.
The Hufflepuff students fell silent first, and this eerie silence soon spread to other tables, and the entire auditorium slowly fell silent.
When the girls crowded around the boy saw Shirley coming, they subconsciously shifted to the left and right to make room for her.
The girl with ponytail walked briskly through the crowd and walked up to Rove. She looked at the disheveled boy who was being dragged and smiled.
"Still laughing!" Rove rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that there is a way to help me get rid of the entanglement?"
Xue Li glanced at the witches who were staring at her all around. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she said softly, "I'm here to help you."
The boy raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, how do you want to help?"
"I think……"
Shirley took a deep breath, looked up at him, and said loudly:
"Rolf Scamander, I like you, I liked you a long time ago, I want to invite you to be my dance partner, is that okay?"
The girl's voice was not loud in the empty auditorium, but it was so clear and powerful that everyone could hear it clearly.
When many people saw Shirley walking towards Rove, they had faintly realized in their hearts that she might be asking him to be a dance partner.
The two of them are inseparable on weekdays, and this kind of invitation is really normal, but the phrase "I like you"...is this a confession?
Swinton actually confessed his love to Scamander in front of all the teachers and students in the school? !
Everyone was shocked for a moment. Everyone thought she was a taciturn girl, but they didn't expect her to have such a brave and unrestrained side.
Luo Fu was stunned, he stared at Xue Li's clean eyes, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said:
"Miss Shirley Swinton, it is my pleasure to accept your invitation."
In the next scene, everyone was stunned in shock. The ponytailed girl, in full view of everyone, especially those witches, was blushing slightly and holding Rove's hand.
She held the boy's hand tightly, looked at the female students around, smiled brightly, as if declaring her sovereignty, and said boldly and rascally:
"Rove is already my dance partner, don't invite him anymore, and of course, don't invite me either."
Gryffindor table,
Hermione stared blankly at this scene, her lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, for no reason, she felt very wronged, and burst into tears.
On the staff seat, Mag glared at Rove viciously. The emerald cabbage she raised was about to be swept away by wild boars before it matured.
Professor Sprout reminded: "Minerva, it was Swinton who confessed. She took away the most outstanding student from our college. Speaking of which, our college is at a disadvantage."
Snape also snorted coldly, he hated the students who fell in love with him the most, but he immediately showed a trance, and all that came up was an inexplicable bitterness.
Dumbledore blinked, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he sighed, "It's good to be young."
After a short period of silence, the auditorium became noisy again.
"Shirley, it's so noisy here, let's go for a walk." Rove suggested.
The girl with ponytail immediately stood on tiptoe and replied obediently.
"Hey, okay."
