The castle is decorated for Christmas. Many pupils stay at Hogwarts during their holidays, therefore the common room is very noisy.On the evening of the Yule Ball, Ron and Harry get to know a lot of things. Hermione dances with Krum and Fleur with Roger Davies. Snape and Karkaroff are on first-name terms and Hagrid is a half-giant. From Cedric, Harry gets a tip for the second task: he should take the egg to the bath of the prefects. Hermione and Ron argue because of Victor. Ron is angry at her for going to the ball with Krum.
