Chapter 575: Ron’s State of Mind

Fleur, that wicked girl, was definitely teasing him. 

Her target would be a handsome wizard of the right age like Cedric, and it was impossible she would look to Evan. 

As for what was said, it was even more impossible. 

In her eyes, Evan was probably just a little brother, almost the same as Gabrielle… 

But speaking of that, Fleur was really bold. Evan knew no other girls like her.

“Well, wasn’t my sister in a bad temper? I said you’d better not go up at this time.” said Gabrielle with a smile. 

“It was really terrible!” Evan nodded, Fleur in her nightgown in his mind. 

He had seen Hermione in pajamas before, but that was not the same thing at all. 

“You told her everything?!” asked Hermione, staring at Evan doubtfully. 

“It’s done. Let’s hurry to Hogsmeade.” 

Today is Hogsmeade Day, and the small village was full of excited Hogwarts young wizards.

Evan and Hermione accompanied Gabrielle through every shop in Hogsmeade. Gabrielle bought a lot of things to take them back as gifts. These things were special products of Hogsmeade and could not be seen in France.

“Where are we going next?” Gabrielle asked. 

They had just come out of the Honeydukes Sweet Shop, eating large creamy chunks of nougat. 

“Let’s go to the Three Broomsticks, where Harry and Ron are waiting for us,” said Hermione. 

They walked down another street, and most of the students they met were wearing badges supporting Cedric. 

“What does that shop do?” asked Gabrielle, pointing to Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop on the side of the road.

As before, it was steamy inside, and everything seemed to have been decorated with frills or bows. 

“It looks so cute…” Gabrielle whispered, staring at the pink bows. 

“Don’t go there, it’s not a good place!” said Hermione quickly. 

“Not a good place?!” Gabrielle asked. “What’s in that Tea Shop?” 

“It’s… where lovers date, and they do that kind of … thing inside. It’s too early for you to know that!” Hermione glared at Evan, who was laughing and watching. Her face turned red and she said, “Let’s go now. Don’t let Harry and Ron wait.”

The relationship between Evan and Hermione has grown by leaps and bounds, with substantial progress being made in that small Tea Shop. 

Unfortunately, the two of them did not stick to the end at that time. 

Hermione didn’t know it at the time. She thought it was just an ordinary Tea Shop, but now she had no courage to go in there with Evan. 

According to Angelina and other school girls, they could go out on a date at this age! 

Thinking of this, Hermione stole a look at Evan and couldn’t help thinking if he would still ask her to go to the Tea Shop with him! 

Although the two of them usually spent most of their time together, the feeling of going there would be totally different. 

Hearing Hermione say that the Tea Shop was a place for dating, Gabrielle also thought about it. 

What her sister had said to herself naturally came to mind… 

In this way, the three people arrived at the Three Broomsticks, lost in thoughts. 

When they entered the inn, it was crowded with people. Mainly Hogwarts students, everyone was enjoying this afternoon’s freedom. 

However, there were also many wizards rarely seen elsewhere. 

Hogsmeade was the unique pure wizarding village in Britain.

It was a safe haven for people like the Banshee, because they were not as good as witches in disguising themselves. 

“Where are Harry and Ron?” asked Hermione. 

Her voice just fell, and she saw Harry and Ron hiding in the corner waving to them. 

“We’ve just seen Rita Skeeter, but fortunately, she didn’t see us,” whispered Ron, putting his book Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit on the table, “She’s still in the village. She must be looking for a new rumor to spread.”

“I’m sure she’ll come and watch the first task!” Harry followed. 

“Yeah, to see how I get torn apart by the fire dragon; that would make a fine headline!” 

Evan took Gabrielle to the bar to buy drinks, while Hermione sat down at the table. 

“How are you two progressing?” Hermione asked. “Is there anything useful in these two books…?” 

“Nothing, the two books sent by Charlie can’t help at all.” said Ron frustrated. 

“Take a look at the contents of Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit, the treatment of magic clipping claws and scaly ulceration…” Harry read it through the catalog. “This is for people like Hagrid who want dragons to be strong!” 

“Maybe we can try the Switching Spell!” said Hermione, taking the book that Ron threw on the table, “Professor McGonagall said in class that if you can switch its fangs into wine-gums or something, that would make it less dangerous.” 

“Switch the fangs into wine-gums, are you sure I could pull that off?!” Ron asked. 

“Evan should be able to do it!” Hermione whispered, staring at Ron for a long time. 

“Yeah, he has the help of the Philosopher’s Stone, naturally!” Ron complained, “If I had a Philosopher’s Stone…” 

He stopped abruptly, and Harry and Hermione looked at each other as if they had not heard Ron’s complaint.

Obviously, Evan did not become strong because of the Philosopher’s Stone, and he could not give it to Ron. 

Knowing Ron, Hermione could be sure that even if he got the Philosopher’s Stone, he would not use it properly. On the contrary, it would be a threat to his life. 

The huge magic in the Philosopher’s Stone could not be absorbed by any human body. Evan nearly had a serious accident with this last time. 

“We can change the way we think about it. It’s definitely not possible to use the Switching Spell on the fire dragon, but you can cast it on yourself!” Hermione continued, “For example, to increase your strength, speed, defense, etc. Of course, these are not simple spells, we need to pass the ordinary Wizard Level test before encountering it in our studies, but you’ve got to learn in advance…” 

“I can’t, Hermione!” Ron said sadly, lying on the table, “I can’t do it. These spells are too difficult for me. I can only pray that the task is not a fire dragon. Maybe a prank by Charlie!”

Thinking of Evan, who told her not to push Ron too hard, Hermione did not go on talking. 

In her opinion, Ron’s efforts were far from enough, but this was really not the time to say it. 

Let him keep a relaxed and happy mood, even just for this afternoon. 

“It’s not a bad thing to read more books. Charlie probably thinks so.” Hermione took out a bunch of things from her schoolbag and looked around the pub. She said thoughtfully, “It’s a long time before we meet Sirius. We can’t just sit here. Maybe we can take this opportunity to recruit some villagers to join S.P.E.W.”
