Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures - H.P.S.T Chapter 831: Finally Falling Asleep
“Hermione liked me since then?” Evan asked, interested in what Gabrielle was saying.
He had never heard Hermione say these things. She usually kept these feelings hidden in her heart and didn’t express them easily.
“Well, Hermione told me herself that when the terrible werewolf pounced on you, she was determined to fight side by side with you. Even if you died, you would die together. And even if you were bitten by a werewolf and became a werewolf, she would not abandon you,” said Gabrielle. “She’s been in love with you since then. She vowed to take care of you for the rest of her life, never to leave or forsake you…”
In the dark, Hermione lay powerless on Evan.
Listening to Gabrielle’s words was simply embarrassing to the extreme. She would not have told Gabrielle these things if she had known.
Now, she was here to listen to her telling Evan how much she loved him.
Especially her current posture was extremely ambiguous, with her whole body tightly pressed against Evan’s.
Hermione had just come out of the bathroom in a hurry, before she had time to get dressed. Now she was nothing more than a naked cat…
She didn’t know whether it was because of Evan’s warmth, or if her body was warming up rapidly. Hermione only felt hotter and hotter, especially when Evan asked Gabrielle carefully about her feelings at that time, she was nervous and almost stopped breathing. Gabrielle’s answer was too detailed.
If someone were to come at this moment, they would definitely find Evan holding a pink little cat in his arms.
It seemed that even the air between the two of them had turned pink, and the atmosphere was getting more abnormal.
Evan caressed the kitten in his arms. If Gabrielle weren’t beside him, he couldn’t have helped doing something more.
Hermione had no strength left; she even thought maybe it would be better to be a cat for the rest of her life. Gabrielle had revealed everything, and she couldn’t face Evan anymore, but at least she could stop him from doing anything bold, but Evan could become a cat, too…
“Evan, tell me, did you like Hermione at that time?” asked Gabrielle.
“No, not at all!” said Evan.
In the dimness, both girls looked at him in surprise, especially Hermione. She was so nervous. Didn’t Evan like her?
“I have long liked Hermione. From the first time I saw her, I told myself that she was the one destined for me,” said Evan softly, caressing Hermione’s head lovingly. “Like Ramses II said about his queen, Nefertari, when she walked gently past me, she stole my heart.”
Gabrielle did not speak, and Hermione’s body stopped trembling, apparently immersed in these words.
Ramses II’s words were very lethal to girls, even after thousands of years they were not out of date.
“So you premeditated and fell in love with Hermione from the first time you saw her,” said Gabrielle, nudging Evan’s arm. “I’ll definitely tell Hermione, unless you beg me not to.”
“That’s okay, you can tell her tomorrow.” said Evan with a smile. Hermione already knew anyway.
“Humph!” Gabrielle paused, she was really embarrassed to say these words, “I’ll keep your secret, but you have to tell me, what did you like about Hermione the first time you saw her?”
“What I liked about her…” Evan recalled the scene when he saw Hermione for the first time, and said slowly, “You know, my parents are Muggles, and I didn’t come into contact with magic before I arrived at Hogwarts. To be honest, when I received the admission letter from Hogwarts, my first reaction was to be shocked. I didn’t know what I would encounter. When I walked into the Leaky Cauldron, nervous, I saw Hermione standing there, smiling. That was my first impression of the Wizarding world. I was probably attracted by her smile. As long as I see that smile, I feel at ease. That’s what I need to guard.”
Hermione was also thinking about the scene when she and Evan first met. She happened to meet Evan and Harry walking into the Leaky Cauldron, as if they had first come into contact with the Wizarding world. Evan was really short at that time. Now he was so much taller than her…
“Just that simple?!” said Gabrielle somewhat dissatisfied.
“Just that simple,” said Evan. “Since we met, Hermione has told me a lot about the Wizarding world. The two of us have also exchanged book lists and often read books together. The more we interacted, the more familiar we became. I am more and more certain that she’s a wonderful girl, and no one can replace her in my heart.”
“It’s heartwarming, but not as romantic as Hermione told me!” said Gabrielle in a prolonged voice, as though a bit disappointed.
“Where there are so many romantic, so many sensational things, love often starts from simplicity. At that time, I merely had a one-sided crush on Hermione,” Evan ruffled her hair. “Alright, it’s time for you to sleep. You just said you were sleepy, but now you seem so energetic.”
“But you haven’t told me how you saved Hermione from the werewolf,” said Gabrielle.
“Haven’t you heard of it?”
“But I want to hear it from your perspective. It’s a very romantic story. I have discussed it with my classmates many times.”
“All right, but after I tell you, you must sleep, and no more excuses, or I’ll send you back to your room,” said Evan, carefully recollecting the events. “It was winter dusk, and the two of us were in a remote alley in Hogsmeade…”
Hermione also listened quietly, following Evan’s words, and the scene of him standing in front of her came to her mind.
When the shop had closed firmly, she once thought that she would lose the boy in her arms forever.
Hermione hugged Evan hard, breathing calmly, with a touch of warmth and love for him.
Gabrielle’s breathing gradually became steady, and she fell asleep halfway through listening!
Evan lowered his voice as he continued the story, because he knew someone was listening, and he told it to the person in his arms.
Hermione crawled forward and came out of the quilt, facing Evan’s eyes.
There was no talk, but silence was better than sound, and the two already knew what the other wanted to express from their eyes.
“At that time, your tears fell into my mouth. They tasted salty, but it was sweet in my heart. I knew you were the one I was destined for. We protect each other, never to leave or forsake!” said Evan, looking at her with affection.
He lowered his head, his lips pressing gently on the little cat’s forehead, kissing her.
Hermione also stuck out her tongue and licked Evan, completely absorbed in the story he was telling.
