"The Christmas Ball has always been opened by the Triwizard Tournament champions."
The traditions surrounding the Triwizard Tournament had gradually spread as well.
With several months still left before the second task, Christmas was clearly what drew everyone's attention at the moment.
"Xu Yue really has it good. He'll definitely be able to invite that pretty girl."
Ron said with a face full of envy.
Compared with Fleur, Shirley, who was their age, was clearly more in line with their tastes.
Besides, Xu Yue had said that Fleur had Veela blood, which made them feel rather uncomfortable.
"As for me, it doesn't matter much. But Ron, how long are you and Harry going to keep sulking at each other?"
Xu Yue sighed, rubbing his forehead.
Just because their gazes had clashed awkwardly once, the sensitive, chuunibyou little lion had kept up the cold war until now.
Xu Yue knew that Ron still cared about Harry. He had secretly given him a hint about the dragon task, but getting the two of them to reconcile openly would clearly take some work.
"Don't mention him! That guy... hmph!"
Ron was only halfway through speaking when he saw Harry enter the common room. He snorted, turned, and left, somehow seeming a little flustered.
Harry's expression changed when he saw Ron's departing back.
It made Xu Yue feel the urge to drug them and throw them into the same room.
"What's wrong? You look awful."
Shaking off those strange thoughts, Xu Yue still took care to check on his meal ticket.
Even before Harry had seen Ron, he had already looked terrible.
"I wanted to ask Cho Chang to be my dance partner, but Cedric invited her first."
Harry said dejectedly.
"There's more, isn't there?"
Harry moved his lips, then became even more downcast.
