That night, Malfoy was truly frightened.

After Evan left, he was eventually helped back to the Slytherin common room.

He kept repeating to the others what he had seen, seeing the skull-shaped Grim Reaper in Aven's green spell and feeling the breath of death.

The Slytherin students listened to Malfoy's description, but no one knew exactly what the magic Evan was using.

After discussion, they generally agreed that what Malfoy saw was just fantasy. It's not that no one thinks of the Dark Arts, but the spells used by Evan are so rare that no one in Hogwarts has read the book "Cutting-edge Dark Arts Revealed" except for him.

This spell, both in terms of difficulty and evil, was beyond the scope of the young wizards' knowledge, and they simply couldn't imagine it.

They can only give the most probable conclusions within the scope of their own cognition.

The Grim Reaper was just a fantasy, and that conclusion reassured Malfoy.

But every time he recalled the scene, the suffocation of death that reached to the depths of his soul, he still had palpitations. Aven's spell strikes directly at the soul, and although it didn't hit Malfoy in the end, it already had an effect on him.

Now, whenever he meets Evan inside the castle, Malfoy walks around it. He's been a lot more honest lately, and he's no longer provoking or looking for trouble like he used to.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his expression was clearly full of fear.

After the failed ambush of Aven, neither Malfoy nor the other Slytherin students continued to act.

Hogwarts did not calm down, and I don't know when rumors began to circulate in the castle that Evan was studying the dark arts.

The exact source of the rumors is impossible to explore, but the content is very true, and the witnesses seem to have seen Evan studying the dark arts.

This rumor is like throwing a pebble on the surface of a calm lake, causing ripples.

The little wizards chatted for a while, and quickly lost interest. In everyone's opinion, Aven is studying dark arts, which is ridiculous!

They would rather believe that Harry is a descendant of Slytherin and will replace Voldemort as the third Dark Lord than the rumors that Evan will become a Dark Wizard.

After all, what Evan has done in the past two years is impossible to fault.

What's more, as the time for the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw approached, the young wizards' energy was all shifted to the Quidditch match.

Needless to say, Ravenclaw's Quidditch team was great, but they were all swept through the Seven Stars, which was nothing compared to Harry's firebolts.

All Gryffindor students are confident and waiting for this game to come.

Despite the firebolts, the Gryffindors did not let up in the slightest, and they trained harder than before. During the last practice session before Saturday's game, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had breakfast in the auditorium as usual.

Wood suddenly approached, and he brought Harry the final pre-match instructions.

"Harry, I just found out who the Ravenclaw Seeker is. It's Qiu Zhang, a girl, and her level is quite good!"

"Akihari?!" Harry was stunned for a moment, his heart beating rapidly, and the image of a dark-haired girl smiling at him uncontrollably appeared in his mind.

"A Ravenclaw fourth-grader, Evan seems to like her very much. Hermione said whimfully, "On the last day before the Christmas break, they even wanted to go"

Hermione couldn't speak anymore, her face flushed, and she remembered what she had done with Evan at Lady Padiff's teahouse that day.

Strictly speaking, it was the first date Evan and Hermione had ever dated. In the little teahouse where the air was filled with the sweet smell, Hermione felt her head stop, and he couldn't help but wish that Evan would kiss like the other couples around him

"Where did they go?" asked Harry curiously.

"No, nothing!" Hermione's face turned red, and she returned to reality from her memory, hurrying to cover it up.

Just then an owl flew towards her, and she scrambled to remove the letter from the owl's leg.

Hermione focused on reading the letter to keep her from looking so embarrassed.

"I know that Akihari is very beautiful. Ron gave Hermione a quizzical look and continued, adding, "She's prettier than all the girls I know. ”

"It's not the point, it's her Quidditch level. Harry, you can't be fooled by the Seekers like Angelina and Arya watched Diggory, we have to win the game, it's our last chance. Wood waved his hand absently, "I had hoped she wasn't in good shape, she had some problems with her injuries, but I just got the news that she's fully recovered. ”

Harry didn't know what to say, and in Wood's opinion, it might be bad news, but he was inexplicably relieved.

"But don't worry too much!" Wood continued, frowning, "She's riding a Comet 260, which is a joke compared to a firebolt. ”

As he spoke, he cast a passionate and admiring glance at the broom beside Harry.

"This broomstick is our hope, and you and he are the best combination. Wood concluded, "Okay, I'm going to warm up at the venue first, and you'd better hurry up." ”

"Oliver is going to drive us crazy, this is his last chance to win the Quidditch Cup, and he wants to keep everyone on his broom in order to win the game. ”

"I've heard Fred and George say that Wood plans to join the club as a professional Quidditch player after graduation and that the Quidditch Cup is very important to him. ”

"Yes, that's why everyone worked so hard, and they didn't want him to leave regrets. We are obviously the strongest team, but we always lose games because of various accidents. Harry sighed, turned his head and saw Hermione looking at the letter he had just received, his expression seemed a little excited, and he couldn't help but ask, "Hermione, what happened?"

"It was Hagrid, and he won the case. Hermione waved the note in her hand, looked up and replied with a grin, "The verdict has just come out, and the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Organisms has decided that Buckbeak is not in danger, and Malfoy's injury was just an accident. ”

"I knew it was going to be like this, Hagrid and Buckbeak were wronged. Harry said happily, genuinely glad that Hagrid had arrived.

"This has been able to go so smoothly mainly with the help of Mr. Newt Scamander, and Mr. Scamander and I have written so many reports in the newspaper before have no effect, and Mr. Scamander agrees"

Hearing Hermione's words, Harry just thought that he and Ron had basically not helped much in this matter, and almost all the work was done by Evan and Hermione.

Thinking of this, he was slightly embarrassed.

"Well, what makes me strange is Malfoy's reaction, Hagrid must be angry if he wins. Harry hurriedly changed the subject, "But he didn't react, it's so weird, we better be careful, he must be plotting something." You know, he's been a bit of a blunt after the Dueling Club, and with Sirius' help, I was able to defeat him at the time, but he didn't come looking for trouble, which is so weird!" )
