Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1066: Sleepless Night

“Do you want to join too?” Evan blinked and looked at Elaine uncertainly.

“Yeah,” Elaine nodded vigorously and said in a slightly excited voice, “I also have a lot of things to tell you. To be honest, I didn’t expect to leave Hogwarts like this. It was quite unexpected, wasn’t it?! I thought that after returning to the castle, someone would want to catch us, have a big fight and then leave, but I didn’t expect the headmaster to be so reasonable. The Minister of Magic is quite hateful. He blames everything on vampires. He is as hateful as Umbridge. Also, isn’t our punishment too light for her? We just handed her over to the giant. What do you think Grawp will do to her?”

Evan sighed. Elaine was simply not on the same wavelength as the two of them.

Unlike Hermione, this girl was not at all panicked or worried about escaping Hogwarts, but excited. To be more precise, she was even a little disappointed because the scene was not big enough.

In her opinion, they should have made a big scene, blown up half of the castle and then left.

If possible, she wouldn’t have minded destroying the entire Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic.

And regarding Umbridge, Elaine was very concerned about what Grawp would do to her.

She had probably already pictured in her little head the scene of Umbridge fighting the giant.

“Grawp can do a lot to her,” said Evan, looking at Hermione and Elaine. “Forget it, I’d better go to your room and tell you the current situation in detail. I won’t leave until you two fall asleep!”

Just like that, in the dark bedroom, the three of them chatted for a long time.

The night was long, and Evan was not sure if they should talk about this now, instead of using the time to do something else.

In a strange atmosphere, the topic was focused on this matter. He started from what happened in Umbridge’s office tonight during the detention, and then talked about Grawp, Fudge and the Ministry’s plans, Voldemort’s conspiracy, the prophecy hidden in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and so on.

Hermione listened and asked questions from time to time. After the part about the giant, Elaine drifted off to sleep. Hermione and Evan continued to chat, their voices getting lower and lower, and the topic began to turn to other aspects.

After one topic was over, Hermione suddenly said, “Elaine seems to have fallen asleep!”

It was hard to explain why, but Evan could feel Hermione’s anticipation, a strange feeling rising in the darkness, as if they had been waiting for this moment, and it finally came.

“Well, Hermione, it’s time for you to go to bed,” said Evan, standing up from his chair. It was already late.

“Yeah,” Hermione responded, still feeling uneasy.

Attacking a professor and leaving Hogwarts might be the craziest thing she had done. And the things that Evan had just told her, the evil god, the prophecy, and their plan to lure Voldemort out, also made her think about it. But the more she thought about it, the more confused she felt. The uncertainty factor was too great.

She left Hogwarts tonight mainly because of Evan, she wanted to be with him.

In such a state of loneliness and loss, her need for Evan was greater than she could have imagined. She wanted his breath and embrace, and the hollow deep in her heart, corroded by fear and emptiness, had a strong feeling that needed to be filled by Evan.

This was what Hermione thought, but she was a little hesitant and didn’t know how to start.

Even though she talked very logically to Harry, theory was one thing, and practice was another; she still needed to gain experience.

“Don’t think about it!” Evan walked to Hermione’s bedside. He could vaguely see her sitting there looking at him. “You should learn from Elaine and not take this kind of thing to heart. No matter what happens, I’m here for you.”

“I know, I believe you,” Hermione whispered. “Good night, Evan!”

“Good night!” said Evan, bending down to touch Hermione gently.

Elaine rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed.

It was late at night! Why hadn’t Evan left yet?

“Um, what are you doing?” She yawned and said in a daze.

“Nothing, I couldn’t sleep. Talking to Evan makes me feel at ease,” Hermione said truthfully.

“I’m comforting Hermione. You don’t have to worry about us. Just go to sleep!” Evan followed.

“I can’t sleep either. I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that a terrifying monster was talking to me again. It was the one sealed by our family. His power has become stronger. He said to me…” Elaine suddenly trembled. She shook her head vigorously, as if to shake out this terrible memory. “I want to sleep with Hermione!”

Without waiting for permission, she jumped from her own bed and tightly hugged Hermione.

For many people, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
