Chapter 191 Shirley's Confession
After students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang came to Hogwarts, some people started a vote to let students choose the most beautiful girls from the three magic schools.
Shirley Swinton, 14 years old, even though her cheeks and figure have not fully grown, still defeated Fleur Delacour by a slight margin and became the champion of the vote.
Even Fleur, a half-blooded veela, can't suppress Shirley, which shows how beautiful and stunning her face is.
Especially the iconic red ponytail, which has become a beautiful scenery in Hogwarts, so that many girls are unwilling to tie ponytails again.
Just like no one wants to wear the same clothes as a beautiful woman, it will make them look ugly.
So, Shirley is undoubtedly the one most boys want to invite to dance.
When she left the Ravenclaw table, gently shaking her ponytail, and walked alone in the crowd, most boys noticed her at the first time.
But no one came forward to invite her for a while. She had rejected many boys' invitations. Students without confidence really didn't dare to come forward to chat with her.
But after hesitating for a moment, Dondarrion seized the opportunity, left the Slytherin table first, and stopped Shirley. He stared at the coveted face and said with a bright smile:
"Swinton, I'm sorry to bother you, but I couldn't resist the instigation of a few friends. They bet with me that I would fail to invite you to dance with them. If they lose, they will lose two thousand Galleons to me."
Dondarrion grinned and said sympathetically:
"If you dislike it and don't want to be my dance partner, it doesn't matter. Just pretend to agree verbally and help me win the bet, and then regret it later."
"And if we win two thousand Galleons in the bet, we will split it 50-50." Dondarrion smiled earnestly and said:
"For the sake of 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 dance with him.
But if I directly sent an invitation, there was a high possibility of being rejected. Dondarrion planned to find another way and use other methods to trick Shirley.
He had spent money to buy intelligence from Ravenclaw students and knew that Swinton was working as an assistant to Scamander to earn a living, which meant that she was very short of money.
Facing such a poor girl, Dondarrion believed that the Galleon offensive would be more effective.
As long as he agreed to the fake dance partner plan, he could get a thousand Galleons. Swinton would definitely agree. After all, that was a thousand Galleons, equivalent to her salary for several years!
Once Swinton agreed, Dondarrion would have plenty of means to make her become his dance partner in the end.
Spending a thousand Galleons to pick up girls must be a luxury, but it was worth it to have this stunning girl as his dance partner.
When Dondarrion was about to increase his offensive and change the 50-50 split to 70-30, the ponytail girl's next sentence instantly broke his defense.
Shirley frowned and looked at him, wondering, "Who are you?"
Dondarrion was stunned.
Different colleges would overlap in courses, just like Slytherin and Ravenclaw would take spells, history of magic and herbology classes together.
In the past four years, although he and Swinton had hardly spoken to each other, they had been in the same classroom many times, and had met each other at least hundreds of times, right?
Swinton didn't even know who he was. Was he so invisible?
Dondarrion felt choked and couldn't say a word.
Shirley saw that there were more and more witches around Rolf, so she ignored this inexplicable guy and walked around him to the Hufflepuff table.
Many students noticed this scene, and they seemed to realize something.
The Hufflepuff students were the first to quiet down, and this strange silence quickly spread to other tables, and the entire auditorium slowly quieted down.
The girls who were crowded around the boy saw Shirley coming, and they subconsciously moved to the left and right to avoid her and make way for her.
The girl with ponytails stepped lightly and quickly passed through the crowd and walked in front of Rolf. She looked at the boy who was being pulled and his clothes were a little disheveled, and smiled sweetly.
"Still laughing!" Rolf rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say you had a way to help me get rid of the entanglement?"
Shirley glanced at the witches who were staring at her covetously, and her lips curled up slightly, and she said softly in a soft voice, "I'm here to help you."
The boy raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, how do you want to help?"
"I want..."
Shirley took a deep breath, looked up and looked at him, and said loudly:
"Rolf Scamander, I like you, I have liked you for a long time, I want to invite you to be my dance partner, 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 Rolf, they had already realized in their hearts that she might want to invite him to be a dance partner.
The two of them were inseparable on weekdays, and this kind of invitation was normal, but that sentence "I like you"...is this a confession?
Swinton actually confessed to Scamander in front of all the teachers and students in the school? !
Everyone was shocked beyond words. They had thought she was a quiet girl, but they didn't expect her to be so brave and unrestrained.
Rove was stunned for a moment. He stared at Shirley's clear eyes. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said:
"Miss Shirley Swinton, I am very happy 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 to declare her sovereignty:
"Rolf is already my dance partner. Don't invite him again. Of course, don't invite me again."
Gryffindor table,
Hermione stared at this scene blankly. 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 coldly. He hated students who fell in love early, but then he showed a hint of confusion, and what came up was only 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.
"Hey, okay."
