Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 618: Collocation

To be in love, or something along those lines, was not a strange thing in Hogwarts.

There were many wizard couples who established relationships at school and ended up getting married and forming families together.

Many of the students were couples, dating everywhere in the castle, kissing, flirting and expressing their love in all kinds of ways…

Every night after eight o’clock, you could meet several couples just by walking down a remote corridor or classroom!

Of course, they were all being secretive. This kind of thing was not suitable for disclosure, and no one dared to make it public.contemporary romance

Evan and Hermione were probably the only couple to kiss, in such a high-profile, in front of everyone in the great hall.

Not surprisingly, this incident caused a great disturbance in the school and caused a lot of controversy.

Most people were happy to see Evan and Hermione come together and have a public relationship.

Only some of the Slytherins made the exception. In their view, it was just two Mudbloods getting together…

Naturally, they would not dare to speak out in front of Evan and Hermione. However, there were still rumors about them around school, which made the Gryffindors very angry.

As for Evan and Hermione, they didn’t care; they didn’t take these ugly words to heart.

In fact, after that day, there was no significant change in their behavior. It was just that they spent more and more time alone and got along more naturally and sweetly.

Evan never imagined it to be possible to kiss Hermione the way he had done in the Great Hall.

It was enough for them to know that to each other, they were the most important.

The last week of term became increasingly boisterous as it progressed. Rumors about the Yule Ball were flying everywhere, but most of them were unbelievable and exaggerated. For instance, that Dumbledore had bought eight hundred barrels of mulled mead from Madam Rosmerta at The Three Broomsticks.

It seemed to be fact, however, that he had booked the Weird Sisters. The Weird Sisters were a very popular band in the wizarding world. They occupied the first place in the Wizarding Wireless Network column rankings all year round, and had many classic songs.

They would appear in the Christmas ball and let the students get excited.

Along with the excitement, the Hogwarts Staff, demonstrating a continued desire to impress the visitors from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, seemed determined to show the castle at its best this Christmas.

When the decorations went up, the students noticed that they were the most beautiful and stunning they had yet seen inside the school.

Everlasting icicles had been attached to the banisters of the marble staircase; the usual twelve Christmas trees in the Great Hall were bedecked with everything from luminous holly berries to real, hooting, golden owls, and the suits of armor had all been bewitched to sing carols whenever anyone passed them.

It was quite something to hear “O Come, All Ye Faithful” sung by an empty helmet that only knew half the words. Several times, Filch the caretaker had to extract Peeves from inside the armor, where he had taken to hiding, filling in the gaps in the songs with lyrics of his own invention, all of which were very rude.

Everything was going in the right direction, but Harry and Ron not only hadn’t found their respective partners yet, but didn’t even decide who they would ask.

Looking at them, it was as though they had given up completely.

“You have to get your own partners, especially you, Ron, you’re a champion!” said Hermione sternly.

“It’s easy for you to say, good girls are being picked up!” Ron whispered. “I don’t want to lead those ugly trolls…”

“The Yule Ball is too much trouble!” Harry said.

At this time, they all sat in front of the warm fire in the Common Room.

It was the last day of the term; tomorrow was the Christmas holiday.

Harry and Ron were still worried about their partners, and Neville and Colin were also worried.

Colin’s younger brother, Dennis, probably gave up. He was too young. No senior student would be willing to be a first-year boy’s partner.

Except for a few girls, all the first and second years did not find partners.

Leaving Harry Ron and Neville, who were already qualified, on their own, Evan decided to help Colin.

He also counted on Colin to go in and take pictures. The Yule Ball, as a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament, had received a lot of attention. What’s more, this was an exclusive report of Hogwarts Magic, and no other media should get in at all.

If Colin didn’t go, Evan wouldn’t be able to stick by Hermione’s side, and would have to take pictures everywhere.

He was going to introduce Gabrielle to Colin, to be his partner. Gabrielle was young as well, but as a guest at Hogwarts and with Madame Maxime’s intervention, she would also be eligible to attend the ball.

When she left Hagrid’s cabin that day, she had just learned about it and had planned to invite Evan.

As a result, needless to say, Evan turned her down, and then the thing happened in the Great Hall.

Ginny was supportive of Evan and Hermione in everything, at least on the surface.

Anyway, when she saw Fleur again, the latter looked like she wanted to eat Evan alive!

As for Colin, he’d been seeing Gabrielle for half a year and they were already very familiar with one another.

When she knew what Evan meant to do, she agreed to become Colin’s partner.

It was better for her to go with Colin, whom she was relatively familiar with, than to be with a strange boy Fleur would introduce to her.

As for Harry, Ron and Neville’s partners, Evan had also thought about it!

It was a long story. On the day he confessed to Hermione, they stayed outside late before returning to the Common Room.

Evan originally thought that there should be no one, and did not expect to see Neville and Ginny in it.

When they saw Evan and Hermione climbing into the Common Room, Neville and Ginny were probably shyer than them.

It turned out that after being rejected by Hermione, Neville planned to ask Ginny. He had to have a partner.

Ginny seemed desperate for Harry, too. She was not yet in fourth year, and she had to be asked by someone to be in the ball.

When Evan and Hermione went in, the two of them were talking about it. Evan hurriedly stopped them. He knew that Ginny must have wanted to be with Harry.

Harry couldn’t find a partner, and insisting on a relationship with Cho Chang would bear no fruit.

In that case, it was better to find a way to get them together and change the direction of development.
