I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 280 You are also a girl

There are strict requirements for epaulettes in naval dress uniforms. Only officers above the rank of brigadier general are qualified to wear epaulettes. So even Uncle Phil, who had just married into his aunt's family, could only accompany his aunt on parades as a lieutenant colonel with bare shoulders. It was not until he was promoted to the rank of admiral of the navy that he was qualified to wear epaulettes.

So Louis just met the qualification. A brigadier general at the age of fourteen might sound a bit outrageous, but when you think about it, it’s not too outrageous since he is a British soldier.

It should be said that his grandfather didn't completely deceive him. He sent not only a formal suit, but also a navy tuxedo for attending dinners and dances. Louis was secretly relieved, at least he wouldn't be so socially dead.

After changing his clothes reluctantly, Louis adjusted the collar of his dress and commented with a smile: "Compared to the formal dress, I actually prefer this Royal Navy tailcoat with small lapels. After all, it's the Navy. The dress is reasonable and allows your neck to enjoy freedom without restraint. It represents the free and fearless fighter on the sea."

"If you change into the marshal's uniform, it will suit you better." Sakuya complimented Louis very sensibly.

Louis snorted and laughed twice: "It's a matter of time, just wait for that day."

There was nothing wrong with what he said. With the family connections, if nothing unexpected happened, for example, if he did something stupid like Harry, it would not be difficult for him to become a marshal in a few decades.

After looking in the mirror for a while, Louis shook his neck awkwardly and said uncomfortably, "But this shirt is too tight, it doesn't have that kind of eye-catching feeling... Look at the bow tie you chose, it's a bit too big."

"I think this is a kind of confidence." Sakuya smiled and adjusted Louis' collar, trying to loosen it as little as possible without being noticeable.

Louis rolled his eyes, looked in the mirror and said with a smile: "But having said that, what makes me most satisfied is that this simplified version of the dress is much simpler than a hundred years ago. Look, there is no exaggerated large-scale embroidery and gorgeous decorations. It's just that these small things are really too complicated."

Louis was referring to the gold filigree pendant that ran from the epaulette to the breastplate.

"I think it looks good and complements your temperament." Sakuya said as she buttoned the last button of Louis's vest. "Sometimes, complexity is also a kind of beauty, don't you think?"

"You hit the nail on the head. The so-called etiquette is complicated. It is just to show the difference from ordinary people. In fact, most of it is useless garbage." Louis commented. He has the capital and the qualifications to make such a comment.

"You're right, but you can't say that to others." Sakuya pursed her lips and smiled, "Just talk to yourself behind closed doors."

"I'm not Hagrid, it won't be necessary." Louis waved his hand nonchalantly, persecuting Hagrid again invisibly.

Hagrid: Doesn't your conscience bother you?
"Well, you can go out now. I think the young lady and the others are already waiting impatiently." Sakuya smiled softly, covering her mouth with her hands. "I have to add that you are really very elegant."

"Don't you see whose grandson I am?" Louis said helplessly. Alas, he felt tired of living all the time, carrying the handsomeness that he shouldn't have to bear at this age.

Sakuya covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, but didn't respond.

Louis stretched his neck to look left and right, front and back, and after making sure there was no major problem, he walked out of the room.

It should be said that Louis' height of more than 1.8 meters can fully support this dress. Perhaps because he has spent too much time in other worlds, he looks much more mature than other people of the same age. Catherine looked at this little deer who was very different from usual and was stunned for a moment.

"My son is so handsome!" Emma lip-synced and gave Louis a thumbs-up. Then she quietly left the room, leaving the young couple some space.

"How is it?" Louis spread his hands as if he was relaxed, but he was actually a little nervous.

"I like it very much." Catherine's eyes were a little intoxicated.

Louis chuckled, and suddenly remembered the episode during Christmas in the first grade, so he asked abruptly, "Is it the same as in the Mirror of Erised?"

“No, the military uniform in the Mirror of Erised is white…” Catherine answered subconsciously, and then she realized what she had said. She quickly covered her mouth and glared at Louis sharply.

After a while, she waved her fist at Louis fiercely: "Don't tell anyone!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell anyone." Louis was happy. He walked to the senior sister and whispered in her ear: "Little Moon, can you not be so cute?"

Catherine didn't answer, but wrinkled her delicate nose, stretched out her little fist and tapped him lightly on the waist, then gave him a seductive look with her eyes rolling.

"You are getting cuter and cuter." Louis couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

After a while, the two finally came out of the office. They didn't have dinner in the evening, and the school didn't prepare the Christmas tea that they usually had at this time of year, because there would be a banquet at the dance later. The students had already returned to their respective lounges. At around five o'clock, they came out of the dormitories one after another, wearing their carefully prepared costumes and began to look for their dance partners.

The classmates arrived at the hallway early, and Louis was also walking there. Speaking of which, his eagle wings were indeed a bit big. Neville's dance partner was no longer Ginny, but Parvati, an Indian sister from the same grade.

Parvati is actually very beautiful. Unlike the Dalit-like girl in the movie, Parvati actually has very fair skin. Louis always felt that she looked familiar. The more he looked at her, the more she looked like the Holi beauty who danced with Yongzi that year.

She was wearing an eye-catching pink dress, her shiny black hair was braided with a gold ribbon, the gold bracelets on her wrists were shining, and her beautiful eyes were bright and charming.

"You're really good..." Seamus murmured to Neville, "You actually got the most beautiful girl in the grade. You're really a dog that bites without barking..."

"You are the dog." Neville certainly wouldn't let Seamus describe him like that.

The hall was full of students milling about, waiting for six o'clock, the official time for the dance, when the doors of the hall would open, and some of them were sidling through the crowd, trying to meet their partners from other houses.

Louis noticed his cousin Elizabeth, who had dressed up as a man and invited Luna to the dance...

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Louis always felt that there was a la la sound in the hallway.

"Cousin!" Elizabeth saw Louis and shouted excitedly.

She pulled Luna and squeezed through the crowd like a fish, looked her good brother up and down, and made a loud clicking sound.

"You're great! You really deserve to be your aunt's favorite child. What about the Commodore...tsk tsk."

"Are you jealous?" Louis lowered his voice and patted her on the back of her head. "You little girl is a bad boy. You just like to dress up as a man, right?"

"Don't get the wrong idea. Luna and I are just friends," Elizabeth rolled her eyes at Louis. "No one invited us to the ball, so we had no choice but to resort to this last resort. I hope Professor McGonagall won't see through us..." Although she said so, Elizabeth kept staring at Louis with her watery eyes and blinking.

"I understand your hint." Louise sighed and rubbed her head. "Don't worry, I'll talk to Professor McGonagall. Just go to the party with peace of mind..."

"I knew my cousin was the most reliable. Long live my cousin!" Elizabeth raised her arms and cheered.

"Okay, I don't deserve this long live, you should find someone else to fool." Louis patted her helplessly.

At this time, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd. Louis looked around, but because the crowd was so dense, he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

Elizabeth punched Louis and said with a smile, "Good job, cousin, you really found a treasure. Catherine is really beautiful..."

Finally, she said sourly: "If I were a boy, I would definitely pursue her..."

"Don't even think about it. She's already been taken." Louis chuckled and walked through the crowd to Catherine's side.

Catherine was not a person who was afraid of the stage, nor was she someone who cared about others. As the crowd was crowded, she did not go in to look for Louis, but stood there like a queen, waiting for Louis to come back to find her.

When Louis came back to her, she whispered, “What did you do?”

"Oh, Elizabeth dressed as a man to attend the party, and I caught her red-handed. She just begged me to go to Professor McGonagall and plead with her not to send her away..." As Louis spoke, he saw Elizabeth looking at him uneasily, so he stretched out his hand and waved to her.

"Then don't forget it." Catherine whispered.

"Don't worry." Louis replied with a smile.

At this time, Harry also squeezed through the crowd, followed by Lilastrasza in a red dress, and Ron who was absent-minded at the end. No matter how Louis looked at Harry and this couple, he thought the height difference was very cute.

"How's the preparation going?" Louis asked with a smile.

"Of course it's good!" Harry raised his head somewhat proudly, "I practiced for a long time in the Room of Requirement with Sister Lila, hehehe..."

"You're almost an adult, why are you still acting like a fool..." Louis looked at Harry, who had poor image management, helplessly, and didn't know how to complain for a moment.

He looked at Ron again and asked curiously, "Why, you and Hermione haven't reconciled yet? Where is she?"

"I don't know either. We agreed to meet here at this time." Ron rubbed the ground with his feet. "I don't know what she is doing. Oh my God... I hope she is still angry and doesn't come to the dance..."

"That shouldn't be the case, Ron." Louis said, and saw a beautiful woman he had never seen before, standing not far behind Ron.

Then he realized, isn't this Hermione?
"Hermione?" Louis asked, still a little uncertain.

"It's me." Hermione smiled and greeted everyone generously and appropriately. She came over and put her arm around Ron's arm. Looking at him with a look of surprise and disbelief, she couldn't help but asked with a cute smile, "Why, don't you recognize me, Ron?"

It was no wonder that Ron couldn't recognize her. Hermione had changed so much. Her hair was no longer messy as usual, but smooth and shiny, and was tied into an elegant and virtuous bun at the back of her head. She was wearing a flowing light blue dress, and her temperament was a little different today - if I had to describe it, it would be that the hundreds of books that usually hung on her face were no longer on her face.

"I just, uh - I, um, I didn't -" Ron stumbled a little.

Seeing her boyfriend so nervous and surprised, Hermione became even happier. No one would be unhappy because their boyfriend behaved like this when he saw them.

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione asked deliberately, feeling sweet in her heart.

What she actually wanted to hear was something nice like "You are really beautiful and I am very intoxicated by you."

But a straight man like Ron obviously wouldn't follow the script Hermione expected. He scratched his head, chuckled, and said unexpectedly but reasonably: "I just didn't expect that you are also a girl..."

Hermione took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and exhaled gently.

Forget it, I'm not angry. This is the boyfriend I chose. I can't be angry no matter what...

But I'm still so fucking angry!
When Louis heard Ron's straight man remark, he looked at Harry and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Harry didn't hold back and even let out an earth-shattering laugh, which attracted the attention of his classmates. They were all curious about what had happened here that made the warrior laugh so loudly.

In a word, it's just fun. There's no joy in being overjoyed, nor in having your mind blown.

At this time, the Slytherin classmates also walked up the stairs from their underground common room. The one walking in the front was of course the current head of the "Snake Spirit", the "Viper", Draco Malfoy.

He was ostentatiously dressed in a high-collared black velvet gown, and beside him was Pansy Parkinson, who was wearing a light pink gown with many ruffles.

"Do you think Draco looks like a parish priest?" Harry whispered to Louis.

Louis took a look and almost laughed out loud, but fortunately he was professionally trained and would not laugh unless he could not help it.

"Louis." Draco saw Louis here and came over excitedly to greet him, "I didn't expect you to come so early... Oh, Miss Volley, hello."

Catherine nodded as a greeting to Draco, while Louis patted Draco and said meaningfully, "Do you want to know what your Potts think of you?"

Pansy's eyes lit up next to her.
