Dutiful Harry, Always Pranking His Godfather / Harry Gets Blamed for Everything Tonight

As breakfast ended that morning, Hogwarts was completely absorbed in the tense anticipation of the ball, while at the same time, some people were still busy, such as the younger students who stayed behind to try their luck.

Just as Harry had predicted, after secretly instructing Will, the latter immediately told his best friend Colin about the 'good news,' and then the two of them, along with Dennis, the three big mouths, successfully made the news public to all the students in the fourth year and below.

After this was done, all the students who weren't planning to go home for the holidays were thrilled, and even many who had already decided to go home readily changed their minds.

From yesterday to today, the younger wizards have been running around the campus. They first formed dance partners, and then kept stopping the older students to ask for help, hoping to seize this last opportunity.

Even the delicious food in the Great Hall at noon—such as at least a hundred turkeys and a huge pile of Christmas pudding—could not hold them back.

The younger students would even complain that... the aroma of the food only slowed them down on their way to the dance!

"Honestly... the food at Hogwarts is so greasy, I'm about to not be able to fit into my dress."

During dinner, Harry ran into Phoebe again in the Great Hall, and unsurprisingly, she was complaining.

"Miss Delacour, if you've gained weight because you've eaten too much, please don't blame the cook~"

As they passed each other, Harry casually remarked, which immediately enraged Phoebe, causing her to explode with anger once again.

However, Harry's 'straight man' attitude towards Phoebe delighted Hermione.

I told you, being pretentious is an illness, it needs to be cured!

Moreover, it seems that although Harry had some interaction with the sisters, he had absolutely no interest in that woman who was good for nothing except her looks.

That afternoon, Harry didn't assign himself any other work, but simply took a day off, and Hermione also took Luna Lovegood back to the dormitory.

He didn't put on the suit he had prepared in advance until 7 p. m.

The formal attire of Britain Royal Family was a gift from the Royal Family last year. Harry has always loved this outfit and even had a magic spell cast on it to ensure it always fits him perfectly.

After getting dressed, Harry looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

He always felt that this military-style dress was particularly handsome and would make a person look more capable and upright.

Of course, his current attire is somewhat plain; it would certainly be better with more medals and sashes, but Harry wouldn't dress like this.

He is unlikely to accept an appointment from the Britain Royal Family, either now or in the future...

After getting dressed, Harry headed straight for the Great Hall... This was Hermione's request; the academically gifted girl didn't want to appear with him before the ball, so Harry had to go alone.

However, when he arrived at the Great Hall, all the students who were pacing around suddenly froze in place. Several girls who were not yet used to high heels even accidentally stepped on their skirts.

It should be said that sometimes there is no harm without comparison.

The wizards' robes and formal attire are mostly of an ancient style, which does not conform to modern aesthetic standards.

For example, the one Ron Weasley was wearing, which Harry saw, had a long hem and rather old-fashioned ruffles... Although he had used Severing Charm to fix it, the loose threads gave him away.

The other young wizards' robes might be slightly better than his, but they weren't much better; in short, they all exuded the so-called aristocratic air of hundreds of years ago.

Fortunately, Harry hasn't seen any boys wearing shorts and stockings yet.

So it's obvious that Harry's military uniform, which combines elegance, simplicity, and crispness, completely outshone all the young boys present.

Many witches have even begun to ponder whether they should take advantage of Harry's 'single' status and try to find a new dance partner.

"His outfit really looks good."

In a corner of the Great Hall, even Astoria Greengrass couldn't help but glance at Harry a couple more times.

"Hmph, I have that outfit too! And it's even better looking than his!" Will muttered indignantly.

"You have one too?" Astoria Greengrass looked at Will curiously. "That should be a military uniform for ordinary people, right? You know, Royal Family style or something. You actually have one?"

"Uh, well..." Astoria Greengrass's unexpected question caught Will off guard, leaving him frozen in place, unsure how to answer.

Fortunately, Astoria Greengrass seemed to care about something else. "If you have them, why don't you wear them out too?"

"That's because...yes, because Harry won't let me!" Stumbling over his words, Will finally found a plausible reason. "He won't let me steal his thunder at the ball, that's why he won't let me wear it!"

"Then he has truly achieved his goal." Astoria Greengrass nodded affirmatively. So far, there has been virtually no boy in the Great Hall who has been able to steal the spotlight from Harry.

"But..." Then, she suddenly smiled, "Next time you have the chance, you can wear it out and show it to me~"

"Definitely!" Will nodded hastily as if making a vow, secretly relieved but also inexplicably filled with anticipation.

Next time...?

Chapter 660 Filial Harry, a master at tricking his godfather

The Yule Ball was scheduled to start at eight o'clock in the evening, and as time went on, many pairs of young wizards gradually gathered in the Great Hall.

Many younger students were already standing with their assigned older classmates, planning to switch dance partners before entering the arena. For example, Will and Colin cleverly chose the Weasley Brothers.

The twins' dance partners are all their Quidditch teammates. The two older sisters will lead Will and Colin into the arena, while the twin brothers will be responsible for Astoria Greengrass and the female partners Colin found.

Well... I should say, thankfully the twins didn't think of pairing up themselves!

The Slytherin members also came up from the underground common room to the Great Hall, but they could skip it, since no one would really care about them these days.

"Hmm... look over there, those are Beauxbatons' men!" "Durmstrang's men are here too!"

A moment later, a small commotion broke out in the Great Hall as students from the two visiting schools appeared one after another.

The students from Beauxbatons were positioned at the front, and these beautiful girls from France naturally attracted the attention of many boys, especially Phoebe, who was at the very front. She perfectly replicated the effect Harry had when he appeared, and was even more stunning.

Today she was wearing a silver-gray satin robe that perfectly accentuated her mature figure, paired with her beautiful face that held a hint of reproach... In short, the experienced boys had already quickly lowered their heads, while those who were careless and didn't dodge all bent over to avoid embarrassment.

And naturally, many people have been met with cold stares or even finger-pinching from their female companions.

"Harry!" Gabrielle waved cheerfully to Harry, skipping past the crowd to stand before Harry. "Wow, you look so good today!"

"You're beautiful too, like a little angel!" Harry replied with a smile, taking Gabrielle's small hand as she offered it to him.

The little girl was dressed very elegantly today. She wore a light-colored dress and a cute little hat.

However, perhaps because of their young age, when Gabrielle stood with Harry, they didn't look like they were attending a ball at all; instead, they seemed more like an older brother taking his little sister to an amusement park.

This suited Harry perfectly, since his purpose in coming today was to look after the children while also admiring the beauty of the young woman who would be appearing later.

But before that, he had to deal with Phoebe first... This troublesome young lady had already arrogantly arrived.

"Hey, the ball is about to start, and the person you introduced... why hasn't he arrived yet?" Phoebe came up to Harry and questioned him with a displeased expression.

But if you listen closely, you can hear a hint of anxiety in her tone.

With the final deadline fast approaching, Phoebe was visibly panicked.

But she doesn't actually need to worry, because the timing is perfect.

"He's here, Miss Delacour... he's right behind you right now~"

"Behind me...?"

Before Phoebe could finish speaking, a crisp sound, like Apparition appearing, suddenly came from behind her. She instinctively turned around, but couldn't look away.

He was a tall, upright adult man with sharp and resolute eyes. He looked much more mature than the average boy, and his chiseled features were so perfect that there wasn't a single flaw!

Moreover, unlike the others who wore old-fashioned formal robes, he was dressed in a very fitted black evening suit with a white shirt with a bow tie underneath, and a Black family crest of two dogs guarding a sword and shield around his neck.

Beside him was an elderly House-elf, who was now respectfully handing a cane to his master.

"Hey, Harry, I'm not late, am I?" The person casually waved at Harry, and that one gesture alone made the eyes of a bunch of girls in the room sparkle with hearts.

"You... the dance partner you found for me, is that him?"

Phoebe was completely stunned. She looked at Harry in disbelief, then at the newcomer in astonishment, her chest suddenly heaving uncontrollably.

The man in front of her was absolutely the most handsome man she had ever seen... Of course, Phoebe had seen this man before, but she never expected him to be this good-looking when he wore a formal suit!

Making Gabrielle Harry's dance partner... Phoebe suddenly felt like she'd hit the jackpot!

Heh heh, how's that? Heart racing, huh?

Harry saw everything Phoebe's reaction and wasn't surprised at all.

There was nothing he could do; after all, his godfather Sirius, was such a devastatingly handsome man.

That's right, the person Harry called in to save the day was none other than his godfather, who loved to have fun, and Sirius's appearance was absolutely stunning... at least Phoebe was definitely stunned.

A side-by-side comparison reveals the truth: Viktor Krum had already entered the Great Hall, but the moment he stood next to Sirius, he was practically rendered invisible.

It's no Harry to say that with Sirius's good looks and charisma, paired with this outfit, he was practically Zorro attending a party, instantly making all the girls swoon!

"Harry, what's going on here? Hermione and Luna Lovegood are both gone?" Sirius, still unaware of the situation, looked at his godson with some confusion. "And... why are you with that little girl Gabrielle?"

"Things have changed a bit. I'm with Gabrielle now," Harry explained with a smile. "And Luna Lovegood already has her own dance partner, so your partner now is... Miss Delacour Phoebe Delacour."

"Her?" Sirius looked at Phoebe, who was striking various poses in front of him, with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, he glared at Harry with displeasure. "You brat, aren't you just messing with me?"

Creak~

Phoebe, who had been smiling, suddenly gritted her teeth.

Harry Granger and Sirius Black, those godfather and godson are truly alike!

Just tell me, how is this a rip-off?

How beautiful I am?!

However, Phoebe, who usually gets easily angered by Harry, surprisingly chose to tolerate Sirius... The reason is simple: because he's handsome!

"Oh, don't be picky, I've saved the best for you!" Harry leaned closer and whispered to Sirius, "Godfather, if you don't agree to her, we'll both have to go to the ball together."

"You and me..." Sirius's expression froze.

He considered it for a moment and thought that if it were James, he could consider it, but if it were James's son, then forget it.

So he rushed to Phoebe's side as fast as he could and bent his arm in greeting her.

"Miss Delacour, please."

"Okay, Mr. Black~" Phoebe smiled and obediently took Sirius's arm.

However, as she left, she didn't forget to turn back and give Harry a meaningful look.

"Holy crap... what's with that maternal glow? Is this woman trying to hook up with my sugar daddy...?"

After a certain guess suddenly popped into his mind, Harry felt a chill run down his spine.

However, his chill did not last long, and the noise in the Great Hall fell silent again.

At that moment, everyone looked towards the stairwell of the Great Hall...

The real deal has arrived!!

Chapter 661 Harry has to take the blame tonight

The woman standing on the Great Hall stairs at that moment was undeniably beautiful in everyone's eyes.

She has long, smooth, and shiny hair, which is tied into an elegant bun at the back of her head... If someone knows her well, they will know that her hair was originally messy when she first came to school, and it has gradually changed into its current state over the past four years.

That's all the result of my hard work -- a voice-over from someone.

She wore a gorgeous, light purple-blue long gown, the hem of which flowed gracefully behind her, perfectly accentuating her light gait and her already emerging beautiful figure.

"A shapely figure and all that... that's the result of my hard work"—another voice-over from someone else.

Some people might think that her only flaw is her slightly protruding front teeth, but in fact, they don't affect her appearance at all. On the contrary, they add a special touch of cuteness when she smiles.

This wasn't the result of my efforts, but rather the result of my intervention. After she removed her braces, it took me a long time to successfully stop her from using magic to shrink her teeth further.

Actually, a slight overbite is better than completely straightening them; it's both cute and funny... those who know, know -- this is someone's final unspoken thought~

It was obvious that the fairy was Hermione, and her appearance undoubtedly drew everyone's attention once again.

She stood on the stairs, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and quickly found Harry at the other end of the crowd.

Their eyes met, and Hermione's eyes were full of mischief.

Isn't it beautiful?

But today, I'm not going to let you off easy~

"She's so pretty, almost as pretty as my sister..." Gabrielle murmured to herself beside Harry.

But soon, her expression froze. "Uh... what's going on with them?"
