After the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students came to Hogwarts, some good people once organized 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 have not yet fully grown, still defeated Fleur Delacour by a slight advantage and became the voting champion.
Even a mixed-race Veela like Fleur can't hold down Shirley, which shows how stunningly beautiful her appearance is.
Especially the iconic red ponytail has become a beautiful sight in Hogwarts, so much so that many girls are unwilling to wear ponytails anymore.
Just like no one wants to wear matching clothes with a beautiful woman, it will make them look ugly.
Therefore, Shirley is undoubtedly the most desired dance partner for most boys.
When she left the Ravenclaw table, swaying her ponytail and walking alone among the crowd, most of the boys noticed her immediately.
But for a while, no one came forward to invite her. She had already rejected many invitations from boys. Students without confidence would not dare to approach her and strike up a conversation.
But after hesitating for a moment, Dondarrion seized the opportunity and left the Slytherin table first, stopping Shirley. He stared at the coveted face and said with a bright smile:
"Swinton, I'm sorry to bother you. I just couldn't resist the instigation of a few friends. They made a bet with me that I would fail to invite you to be my dance partner. If they lose, they will lose two thousand Galleons to me."
Dondarrion grinned and said understandingly:
"If you dislike it and don't want to be my dance partner, it doesn't matter. You just need to agree verbally and pretend to help me win the bet, and you will regret it later."
"And if we win two thousand Galleons from the bet, we will get 50-50." Dondarrion said with a sincere smile:
"For the sake of your classmates, please help me."
The so-called "bet" was of course a lie made up by Dondarrion. His real purpose was to invite Shirley to be his dance partner.
But if you send an invitation directly, you are very likely to be rejected. Dondarrion plans to find another way and use other methods to trick Shirley.
He spent money to buy information from Ravenclaw students, and knew that Swinton worked as Scamander's assistant to earn living expenses, which meant that she was short of money.
Faced with such a poor girl, Dondarrion believed that the Garonne Offensive would be more effective.
As long as she agrees to the fake dance partner plan, she will get one thousand galleons. Swinton will definitely agree. After all, that is one thousand galleons, which is equivalent to several years of her salary!
Once Swinton agreed, Dondarrion used many tricks to make her become his dance partner.
Spending a thousand galleons to pick up girls must be very luxurious, but it is worth it to have this amazing girl as your dance partner.
Just when Dondarrion was about to step up his offensive and change the score from 50-50 to 70-30, the ponytail girl's next words allowed him to break through his defense instantly.
Shirley frowned and looked at him, wondering: "Who are you?"
Dondarrion froze on the spot.
Different houses will have overlapping courses, just like Slytherin and Ravenclaw houses, they will take Charms, History of Magic and Herbology classes together.
In the past four years, although he and Swinton had hardly spoken, they had attended classes in the same classroom many times and had seen each other near and far, at least hundreds of times, right?
Swinton didn't even know who he was. Is he so insignificant?
Dondarrion's chest suddenly felt so choked that he couldn't utter a word.
Seeing that there were more and more witches around Rolf, Shirley ignored this inexplicable guy and walked directly around him towards the Hufflepuff table.
Many students noticed this scene, and they seemed to realize something.
The Hufflepuff students were the first to fall silent, and this strange 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 moved to the left and right to make way for her.
The girl with the ponytail quickly walked through the crowd with light steps and walked up to Luo Fu. She looked at the disheveled boy who was being pulled and smiled sweetly.
"Still laughing!" Luo Fu rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that there was a way to help me get rid of this entanglement?"
Shirley glanced at the witches who were all around her, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly in a soft voice: "I'm just here to help you."
The young man 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:
"Rolph Scamander, I like you. I have liked you for a long time. I would like 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 already vaguely realized that she might want to invite him to be their dance partner.
The two of them are inseparable on weekdays, and this kind of invitation is normal, but that "I like you"...is this a confession?
Swinton was actually confessing his love to Scamander in front of all the teachers and students in the school?!
Everyone was shocked beyond measure for a moment. Everyone thought she was a taciturn girl, but they didn't expect she had such a brave and unrestrained side.
Luo Fu was stunned. He stared into Shirley's clean eyes. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said:
"Miss Shirley Swinton, it is my pleasure to accept your invitation."
The next scene left everyone shocked and dumbfounded. They saw the girl with the ponytail blushing slightly and holding Rolf's hand in full view of everyone, especially the sight of the witches.
She held the boy's hand tightly, looked at the female students around her, smiled brightly, and said boldly and roguely, as if declaring her sovereignty:
"Rolf is already my dance partner. Don't invite him again. Of course, don't invite me again."
Gryffindor table,
Hermione stared blankly at this scene. Her lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but she couldn't. For no reason, she felt aggrieved and burst into tears.
In the faculty's seat, Mag glared at Luo Fe fiercely. The emerald cabbage she raised was about to be taken away by the wild boar before it matured.
Professor Sprout reminded: "Minerva, it was Swinton who confessed her love. She took away the most outstanding student in our college. Speaking of which, our college suffered a loss."
Snape also snorted, he hated students who fell in love early, but then he showed a hint of confusion, and all that came up was an indescribable bitterness.
Dumbledore blinked his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and sighed: "It's good to be young."
After a brief period of silence, the auditorium became noisy again.
"Shirley, it's so noisy here, let's go for a walk." Rolf suggested.
The girl with the ponytail immediately stood up on her tiptoes and replied obediently.
