Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures - H.P.S.T Chapter 1043: Failed Date
It was obvious that Elaine would not give him this opportunity easily.
However, she agreed to stay in the Honeydukes Candy Shop if it satisfied her.
In this way, Evan and Hermione would have time to do their private things.
This girl was smart and knew almost everything.
But she was almost completely blank when it came to relationships and getting along with others, even more so than Evan.
Just like her survival skills, which were almost zero.
She had a liking for Evan and always wanted to bite him, giving him the First Embrace, turning him into a vampire, and then it was over.
Elaine had no idea what Valentine’s Day meant and had no other thoughts.
Evan felt that if he were really bitten by Elaine, he would indeed be in big trouble!
Speaking of which, he knew a lot of beautiful girls, but how could they all have such weird personalities? None of them were normal.
As for Hermione, she didn’t need much mention. She was considered relatively normal, except for being overly studious and a bit serious at times, she didn’t have any other shortcomings.
On the contrary, she had many strengths, and as time went by, Evan could always discover new virtues in her.
Then there was Luna, this girl was the typical abnormal human being. This was true whether measured by Muggle or wizard standards.
Her temperament was very ethereal, but there were always some messy thoughts in her head. She would actually be pretty good if she could connect to reality, but that was almost impossible.
As for Ginny, she was the most beautiful among all the girls Evan knew—lively, attractive, and adorable. Her personality was also very good, and she could be quite outgoing. However, she had a slight sense of inferiority. She used to have a crush on Harry for a long time, but since her desperation, she had started dating other boys.
Evan was not sure if her actions involved a sense of self-abandonment.
All he could say was that anyone who was not blind could see that she still liked Harry. Of course, except for Harry, he couldn’t see this at all.
Like Evan, he only regarded Ginny as his sister, and he liked Cho now.
As a typical oriental girl, Cho looked really gentle. In Evan’s impression, she was always smiling, but Cedric’s incident had had a great impact on her. From that term onwards, her mood and personality had changed. She became very unstable and kept crying. Hermione said this was a normal reaction, but Evan expressed doubts about this.
To be honest, he thought Cho wasn’t right for Harry, and maybe after graduation, she should go to America to find Cedric.
Compared with Cho, Fleur, who was also a senior, was just disappointing!
Thinking about it, Fleur, who had rich emotional experience and the bonus of Veela blood, few men could resist her temptation.
But she always teased Evan deliberately, full of tricks. In the end, she directly and blatantly seduced him.
Her younger sister Gabrielle was not as mischievous but was cute. She was too young though.
She was eight years old last year and only nine years old this year. Gabrielle did have a crush on Evan, but it was just that and nothing more.
Evan felt that even if he slept with her in his arms every day, there wouldn’t be any reaction. He had done it before, but she was still a child. He thought it was better to let her grow up for a few more years before considering anything else.
The same was true for Elaine. He didn’t know how her uncle Caresius, that obnoxious, had taught her. This child was full of dangerous thoughts and didn’t know a lot of basic common sense. She needed some training bit by bit from Evan. It was really tiring. …
At the dining table, listening to the argument between Evan and Elaine, Harry was not in the mood to eat.
After attempting to flatten his hair while staring at his reflection in the back of a teaspoon, he proceeded alone to the entrance hall to meet Cho, feeling very apprehensive and wondering what on earth they were going to talk about.
Twenty minutes after Harry left, Evan, Hermione and Elaine also set off.
Evan originally planned to call Colin up. When he and Hermione would go to Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop, Colin could spend time with Elaine in Honeydukes.
That was his plan, it was better than leaving her alone.
Colin originally agreed, but he told Evan last night that he had other important things.
A third-year Hufflepuff girl was willing to go out with him, so he couldn’t accompany Evan.
As expected of Valentine’s Day, everyone was in love.
Evan wished him good luck on the date and he would come up with a solution on his own.
That was like that; things were far from going as smoothly as planned.
If it was really not possible, he could only bring Elaine along and let her watch from the side.
Hermione already knew about Evan’s plan, but refused to comment or intervene to help, and just watched from the side.
Anyway, in her opinion, boys could be quite cute when they acted silly sometimes.
The sky was drizzling, cold, heavy drops of water kept hitting everyone’s faces and the back of their necks, but it still did not dampen everyone’s enthusiasm.
The streets of Hogsmeade were full of students ambling up and down, peering into the shop windows and messing about together on the pavements.
Elaine was very excited and looked at every store she passed.
Evan and Hermione focused on the huge poster stuck up in the windows of these shops and on street corners. It was a wanted notice.
Above were photos of the escaped Death Eaters. The poster offered a thousand-Galleon reward to any witch or wizard with information relating to the recapture of any of the convicts pictured.
“How ironic, isn’t it?!” said Hermione, looking at the poster with disdain.
“It is really ironic!”
“When Sirius escaped from prison, there were Dementors all over Hogsmeade looking for him, but now there are only a few pieces of paper!”
“The Ministry of Magic is probably beginning to suspect the Dementors are out of control,” said Evan. “They don’t seem to trust each other as much as they claim in their external propaganda. Of course, it could also be that the Dementors are unwilling to obey the Ministry’s orders.”
“I think the latter is very likely,” said Hermione. “That’s why we need to expose the truth.”
This was today’s serious matter, but there was no rush. They had planned to meet with Lupin, Sirius, and Rita at noon.
Before that, they would proceed according to the plan. It was a rare day out, and it was such a memorable day.
That was what Evan thought. However, as soon as they arrived at Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop, before Evan could say anything; they saw Cho running out choked up.
Without even looking at the three of them, she ran in the rain and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.
Seconds later, Harry chased after her.
There were confetti on his head, and he looked at Evan, Hermione and Elaine awkwardly with a confused look on his face.
“Harry, what happened?” Hermione looked at him in surprise. “You just dated for forty minutes?”
“I dunno,” Harry muttered in frustration. “I have no idea what’s going on!”
“You didn’t forcefully kiss her, did you?” Evan analyzed, and Hermione poked him hard.
“No,” said Harry. “Everything was going fine, but she suddenly mentioned Cedric. I really don’t understand … why does she always want to drag up a subject that makes her act like a human hosepipe?”
He detailed the sequence of events for them. Everything was going smoothly before they entered Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop.
The two of them had chatted about recent D.A. activities and this year’s Quidditch League, and told each other which teams they supported.
Then it started to rain and Cho suggested coming here.
Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop was very popular among couples. Generally, going to this place meant having some physical contact and interaction.
This was a good development, and many people were eager to do it!
