Chapter 621: The Amazing Hermione Granger
But no one was as frustrated as Ron, and when he came out of the dormitory, he had an appalled look on his face.
There was just no getting around the fact that his robes looked more like a dress than anything else. In a desperate attempt to make them look more manly, he used a Severing Charm on the ruff and cuffs. It worked fairly well; at least he was now lace-free, although he hadn’t done a very neat job, and the edges still looked depressingly frayed.
"Well, Ron, don't think about your robe, it doesn't look that bad!" Harry comforted him.
"Yes, it’s the same for everybody. These dresses and robes are very retro style, not in line with the modern aesthetic," Evan followed, "These are ancient traditions from hundreds of years ago. Look at them..."
Indeed, the common room looked strange, full of people wearing different colors instead of the usual mass of black.
Ron looked around and saw that everyone looked awkward and somewhat regained some confidence. But when he looked back at Evan, he felt a little self-conscious...
It had to be said that Mrs. Weasley made a lot of effort in choosing the dress robes.
The color of Evan’s robes was very conspicuous and distinctive. It was the most eye-catching among the crowd.
Now, anyone who entered the Common Room would unconsciously turn his eyes on Evan.
The sky-blue dress robes matched Evan’s unparalleled self-confidence temperament very well. While showing the noble aristocratic taste, they could hide the unease in his heart, making people’s eyes shine. Ron had to admit Evan looked very decent.
If someone else wore these dress robes, it wouldn't have the same effect, though it would look very fancy.
He looked up at the exit of the girls' dormitory and tried not to compare himself with Evan.
After all, there were only a very few like Evan, most of the boys looked very bad now.
After a while, Lavender and several girls walked out of the girls' dormitory. She looked much prettier than usual, in robes of shocking pink, with gold bracelets glimmering under the candlelight at her wrists.
She waved to Ron a little too enthusiastically and giggled. Although the boys below looked at her in astonishment, Lavender didn't care at all.
She quickly walked down the stairs and looked up and down at Ron as she approached. She seemed very satisfied.
"Hello!" said Ron, looking rudely at Lavender with a strange expression.
"Do I look beautiful?" Lavender asked nonchalantly, with a bright smile on her face.
"Not bad … well … very beautiful!" Ron winked at her, and he smiled hesitantly.
"Let's go down, the ball is about to begin!"
"Okay!" said Ron dryly, waving at Evan and Harry, "See you later!"
Lavender smiled and came up actively, and they both swaggered out of the common room.
"They look perfect for each other!" Evan commented.
Harry nodded at first, but looked at Lavender’s back and quickly shook his head. He felt that Lavender looked a little scary and very embarrassing. He really hoped Ron could hold on.
Harry was wondering what Cho would look like, and then thought of Ginny, wishing she wouldn’t dress up like Lavender...
Besides a little nervous personality and her exaggerated dress, Evan was very satisfied with Lavender’s active attitude.
In school, it was not easy to find a girl who was really interested in Ron himself. Thinking that way, Lavender didn’t look so bad.
If it were another girl, she would have probably turned around and left at the sight of Ron’s terrible robes.
The girls continued to descend from the upper floor and left the Common Room with their partners.
Those who had chosen partners from other Houses, Durmstrang or Beauxbatons also left the Common Room in groups.
After a while, Angelina came down too. She smiled and handed Fred her hand. They left hand in hand, and Fred winked at them naughtily.
Behind Angelina was Ginny, wearing a relatively conservative pale red dress with long pink stripes, and a rosy face. She was too embarrassed to see Harry and Evan.
Ginny was clearly well dressed and looked extraordinarily beautiful. She was even prettier than all the girls Evan had seen so far tonight.
The cute bubble sleeves on the robes made her extraordinarily cute and intoxicating, with a pink belt with a small bow around her waist, wrapped around her petite body, with an unspeakable feminine charm.
All the boys who hadn't yet left saw Ginny and felt an inexplicable impulse from the bottom of their hearts.
Unsurprisingly, Harry looked at Ginny in disbelief and was speechless in surprise. Looking at him, he seemed to have just noticed that Ginny was also a beautiful girl.
The look, which was originally of no nature, changed rapidly; and there was a hint of nervousness and consternation.
"Hermione is still up there, she’s coming out right away!" Ginny said, her little face still red.
"Well, let's wait for her and go down together," said Harry, seemingly a little embarrassed to go with Ginny.
"No, I’ll stay here and wait for her. You two just go and enj..."
Evan naturally didn't want to go with them, but he stopped before he had finished speaking.
The noisy voices in the Common Room suddenly stopped, and everyone looked up at the girls who had just come out.
Many people opened their mouths wide in surprise, speechless.
It was Hermione!!!
But she didn't look like Hermione at all. She looked like a fairy that had landed to the mortal world.
She had done something with her hair; it was no longer bushy but sleek and shiny, and twisted up into an elegant knot at the back of her head.
She was wearing robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue material, and she was holding herself differently, somehow… or maybe it was merely the absence of the twenty or so books she usually had slung over her back.
She was also smiling, of course, a little nervously. In a word, she was really stunning.
When she saw Evan, her eyes went bright and her mouth was full of smiles.
She walked down the stairs, her light pace like a butterfly, her well-chosen pink dress extraordinarily elegant and flexible, and the silk skirt wrapped around her slender, soft body, flowing to the ground like a wave of water.
Evan just spotted that Hermione's body, usually hidden under her uniform robes, was really beautiful.
