But no one was as frustrated as Ron, and when he came out of the dormitory, he had an appalled look on his face.
There was just no getting around the fact that his robes looked more like a dress than anything else. In a desperate attempt to make them look more manly, he used a Severing Charm on the ruff and cuffs. It worked fairly well; at least he was now lace-free, although he hadn’t done a very neat job, and the edges still looked depressingly frayed.
"Well, Ron, don't think ...

"Dobby, what are you doing?!" Evan scrambled away from the elf. "Don't lie near me like this again!"
“Dobby is sorry, Master Evan!” squeaked Dobby anxiously, jumping backward with his long fingers over his mouth. “Dobby is only wanting to wish Master Evan ‘Merry Christmas’ and bring him a present.”
"All right; it’s okay," said Evan, his breathing gradually returning to normal.
He got up from the bed. In the dim light, he saw a large pile at the foot of his bed,...

As for Neville, Evan was going to introduce Luna to him.
Luna did not have a partner either. Her personality was too jumpy. She was always looking for the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, the Blibbering Humdinger and other strange things. She knew a few boys in the schools, and no one in the people she knew would take the initiative to ask her to go with him to the ball.
Her character and honest Neville were complementary and unexpected, but they were unable to talk together. Neville coul...

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

Needless to say, Hermione would not agree to Krum's invitation.
At best, she only regarded him as a friend and had no other thoughts about him.
But Fleur's request couldn't be ignored. Not long after Krum invited Hermione, Fleur found Hermione, hoping that she could make Gabrielle Evan's partner. The students from Beauxbatons also knew in advance about the upcoming Yule Ball.
They talked a lot at the time, and Fleur’s attitude was also very sincere, but Hermione did not gi...

Evan could feel Hermione trembling in his arms.
Like last time, her bright lips were cold and sweet, with the unique girl’s fragrance.
At first, Hermione instinctively resisted because of consternation, but she quickly responded involuntarily.
Although hundreds of eyes were staring at them, Evan and Hermione still drowned in the ecstasy of this kiss, embracing passionately and not caring about anyone else...
Harry, Ron, and Ginny, who were closest to them, also looke...

Ron moaned and put his face in his hands. He kept talking, though the words were barely distinguishable.
"She looked at me like I was a sea slug or something. She didn't even bother to answer. And then … I don’t know … I just sort of came to my senses and ran for it."
"It wasn’t your fault, Ron!" Harry comforted him. "We all know Fleur is part Veela. Her grandmother was one. I bet you just walked past when she was turning on the old charm for Diggory and got a blast of it!...

Coming out of Hagrid’s cabin, Evan saw Gabrielle standing near the Beauxbatons carriage waving at him.
This girl had not chosen her partner yet, but she had expressed her wish to be with Evan.
Unfortunately, neither of them was old enough to attend the ball without the invitation of students from the fourth year or above.
That was the tradition, even if Gabrielle was a student of Beauxbatons, there was no exception.
As for Gabrielle’s sister Fleur, there were more ...

Hermione was obviously angry, perhaps because of what Ron said.
These words made her feel that the three of them had no respect for girls and were just choosing partners based on their appearance.
These words were obviously wrong, and any girl with a strong sense of justice would be angry with this idea.
But Evan was keenly aware that it might have something to do with him, but he did not figure out what to do.
The Yule Ball seemed to be much harder ...

Snape will not really poison the students, but if he lets someone spend Christmas in bed, he can still do it.
If no qualified antidote was prepared, this risk can occur at any time.
Especially for students above the fourth year, they couldn’t miss the Yule Ball because of Snape's poison.
"Evil, he is!" Ron said angrily in the Gryffindor Common Room. "Springing a test on us on the last day. Ruining the last bit of term with a whole load of studying."

The news that Hogwarts would hold the Yule Ball was like dropping a bomb on the calm water.
In the past, the number of people who stayed at school at Christmas was always very small.
This year was different. Everyone in the fourth year and above seemed to be eager to participate.
As for the first to third year students, they were also trying to get themselves in. Everyone was obsessed with the coming ball, or at least all the girls were.
The boys were amazed how many g...

Evan pulled Hagrid around and left, not caring about what Rita wanted to know
He was sure that no matter how Rita Skeeter evaluated him, he would not like it.
That woman could twist everything, whether for the good or for the bad, it was not what Evan wanted to see.
He needed to keep a low profile now, and he didn’t want to attract the attention of Rita and the Death Eaters when Voldemort was about to return.

Each of the skrewts was now approaching six feet in length. Their thick gray armor; their powerful, scuttling legs; their fire-blasting ends; their stings and their suckers, combined to make the skrewts the most repulsive things Evan had ever seen.
The students looked dispiritedly at the enormous boxes Hagrid had brought out, all lined with pillows and fluffy blankets.
"We’ll just lead them in here," Hagrid said, "and put the lids on, and we’ll see what happens."

When Evan and Dobby returned to the kitchen, Hermione was frowning and sitting there, Winky still beside her.
She buried her face in her hands, tears streaming down the gaps between her fingers.
Things hadn't changed much from what they had been before Evan left, or worse. Winky looked even sadder!
Hermione seems to have given up trying to persuade her, and she painfully looked at the house-elves in the distance.

The main difficulty in summoning demons is to successfully build a demon altar and then create a pure magical creature.
The construction of the demon altar was very difficult and required a lot of materials and evil, bloody sacrifices.
Evan could neither collect nor use most of these things.
Needless to say, the process of building the demon altar and the first summoning of the demon was very dangerous and prone to have accidents.

"Master Evan, let's go back, Dobby is afraid!" Dobby said trembling, feeling fear.
Unlike before, his fear was no longer from darkness and ice, but from the strange circular building in front of him.
Even with a thick ice wall between them, Dobby didn't feel much at ease. He clasped tightly to Evan's robes, his big bulb eyes staring nervously at the altar behind the azure blue ice wall.
Seeing the cyan light shining above the altar, Dobby shrank back and hid behind Evan.

While on guard, Evan was full of doubts.
He was not surprised that he could find a hidden passage. There were many such secret places in Hogwarts Castle.
For example, Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets, the secret treasures of the Four Founders in the huge statue, and the Room of Requirement. In his first year, he had followed the basilisk through the pipeline and found the Blue Room, somewhere in Ravenclaw Tower. And there were also many more secret passages.

In the eyes of the goblins, the house-elves were cowardly traitors and were not worthy of forgiveness. The cruelty and miserable life they suffered was entirely their own fault.
And in the eyes of human wizards, the house-elves were only slaves and private property wizards. They had the right to dispose of their own house-elves, even to kill them, regardless of their own thoughts.
After the goblin rebellions, the house-elves lived a very miserable and dark life.

Behind the brick wall was a wide space. As soon as Evan entered, he was shocked. He was facing a huge wall dotted with so many strange things.
A closer look revealed that they were all wrinkled heads of house-elves. They piled up densely with the same ugly noses.
These were much more vivid than the row of heads of the house-elves Evan had seen before in the Blacks' old house. Under the low temperature preservation, they looked so lifelike, looking at him with their bulging eyes, a...

The final result disappointed her as expected. Dobby was just a special case and did not represent the vast majority of house-elves.
As Hagrid said, there were one or two freaks in every species.
To other house-elves, it was a disgrace to like freedom and accept wages as Dobby did.
"Thank you, Miss, Master Evan!" said Dobby, grinning toothily at them. "After Winky has been freed, Dobby led her to find a lot of wizard families, hoping they could take Winky in. But most wizard...

After Dobby was expelled by the Malfoys, Evan kept him around all the time.
He just wanted to help Dobby. In fact, there was nothing that needed to be done.
At the busiest time of Hogwarts Magic, Evan had asked Dobby to help Fred and George take charge of the print job.
When Professor Lupin took over, Dobby was idle again, mainly responsible for taking care of Evan's life and living.
This amount of work was really nothing to a house-elf. He needed more work.

As Caresius said, people who used black magic were not necessarily Dark wizards.
