Chapter 613: Cho’s Invitation

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 than summoning a demon or fighting an evil Dark wizard.

In the next few days, Hermione was not with Evan, Harry, or Ron.

She did not appear in the Gryffindor Common Room at night, but was quietly reading in the library.

In this regard, Harry and Ron had no good advice. They were even more puzzled than Evan.

On the second day after this incident, Evan was taken aback by another thing. He actually received an invitation from Cho Chang.

When he and Colin came out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, he saw Cho Chang standing outside waiting for him.

Cho clasped her robes with both hands stiffly and stared at Evan shyly. Her eyes sparkled and she seemed surprised at her boldness.

“Evan? Could I have a word with you?”

“Certainly!” said Evan, leading her to an empty corner.

Seeing Cho’s appearance, he had already guessed what she was going to say, though he had never expected Cho would ask him.

In fact, Cho looked very beautiful, especially when she spoke with a slight smile on her face, making people heart-stirring.

There were many boys in the school who were secretly in love with her, such as Harry, Cedric, etc. They were all very good.

Cho did not lack partners or invitations at all, but it was amazing that she chose to ask Evan.

“Evan, I heard that you haven’t chosen your partner yet. Would you like to go to the ball with me, then?” Cho said it out in a vigorous voice, staring shyly at Evan, her face getting redder and redder.

Looking at the girl in front of him, for a moment, Evan was very tempted. He shook his head and told himself not to think.

“Sorry, I’m going with someone else, I can’t…” Evan said frankly.

“Oh, well, it’s okay!” Autumn took a deep breath. “I know you want to go with Hermione. I just wanted to give it a try after hearing that you didn’t have a partner yet…”

“I’m really sorry!” Evan whispered. “I’ve already planned to invite Hermione!”

“I know!”

They stood there and looked at each other, tears seemed to be swirling in Cho’s eyes, and she tried not to let them flow down. Then she said, “That’s it!”

“Yeah!”

“Well, goodbye,” said Cho, still very red. She turned and left quickly.

Colin looked at Evan admiringly and did not know what to say, Evan actually refused Cho’s invitation.

Cho was very popular in the school and was one of the favorite candidates for the prom girls. If this came out, it would definitely be hot news.

After telling Colin not to say anything, Evan set the matter aside.

From the very beginning, he made up his mind to go to the Yule Ball with Hermione, and that never changed.

All he needed now was an opportunity to be alone with Hermione and speak out his mind.

But when Hermione was still angry, it was difficult to find such an opportunity.

On Friday, when Evan, Harry and Ron went to visit Hagrid, she did not show up.

In a word, everyone in the school had been busy with the ball recently.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Rita Skeeter didn’t come out to make trouble. She didn’t publish articles about the first task and Evan’s performance, and there was no report about Hagrid in the Daily Prophet.

Evan told Dobby to pay attention to Rita Skeeter’s whereabouts and catch her when she became a beetle.

But he didn’t know what Rita was doing. She hadn’t appeared in Hogwarts for more than a week.

“To tell you the truth, she didn’t seem very interested in magical creatures,” said Hagrid.

At this time, they were all in Hagrid’s cabin, and they were asking him about his interview with Rita Skeeter.

“She didn’t care about the skrewts. She just wanted me to talk about you two, Evan and Harry!” Hagrid continued. “There was nothing to say. I told her we’d been good friends since you entered the school. Never had to tell them off in the past few years?’ she asked. ‘Never played you up in lessons?’ I told her no, and she didn’t seem happy at all. You’d think she wanted me to say you were horrible.”

“Of course, her focus is not on the champions and the Triwizard Tournament,” said Harry in a natural tone. “Just like I said, she can’t keep writing about what a tragic little hero I am, it will be boring.”

“She wants a new angle,” said Ron wisely, putting down a pie harder than a stone. “You were supposed to say Evan and Harry are lawless juvenile delinquents, or secretly studying Dark magic or something, she’d love to hear that.”

“But they’re not!” said Hagrid, looking genuinely shocked.

“She doesn’t care about the truth. All she needs is a rumor that attracts people’s attention,” said Evan.

“If she wants to hear these words, she should have interviewed Snape,” said Harry grimly. “He would give her the goods on me any day. ‘Potter has been crossing lines ever since he first arrived at this school…’“

“Snape would definitely say more!” said Ron. “In fact, we did violate a few rules, didn’t we?!”

“Well, stop talking about her, believe me, she’ll be dishonest,” said Evan.

Looking at it from another angle, Rita Skeeter was not entirely making rumors. For example, Evan was preparing to summon a demon, violating hundreds of school rules.

After Rita Skeeter, the topic naturally shifted to the Yule Ball.

“Are you coming to this ball thing on Christmas Day, Hagrid?” Ron asked.

“I might look in on it,” said Hagrid gruffly. “I think it should be very lively. You’re going to dance at the party, aren’t you? Who are you going to take with you?”

“No one, yet,” said Harry and Ron together.

Hagrid turned his head and asked what Evan was going to do. He was not old enough to participate in the ball.

Evan shook his head and didn’t know how to talk to Hagrid about Hermione.
