Chapter 316 School Dinner

Harry didn't think Ron had led him astray.

He himself also likes to have fun. Even if Ron really led him astray, Ron is much more important than grades and other people's opinions.

Ron is a little subjective, but this is because he was neglected and did not form the positive feedback of being praised for studying hard, so he could only relieve his loneliness by entertaining himself.

Ron was good at wizard chess in his first year because he had no real friends to talk to and needed those little chess pieces to interact with him.

Ron stopped playing wizard chess because he had real friends.

He was the same kind of person as Ron. He also had no friends because of Dudley, so he could only spend his time looking at the spiders weaving their webs in the cupboard under the stairs.

When they met, it was like two equally lonely souls touching each other.

He knew that Ginny was not wrong.

But Ginny shouldn't have said that.

He shouldn't be the most favored Weasley child, his girlfriend said.

In short, he was prepared to go into a cold war with Ginny for a while.

"How could Harry be like this!" Hermione said after hearing everything that Basil had recounted, "Ginny sacrificed so much for him, and he did it for Ron? Could he and Ron really..."

"It's because Ginny was too mean to Ron." Basil shrugged. "Perhaps she unconsciously took her anger out on her brother because of Ron. Ginny may have realized this now."

"Give them some time. They will surely reconcile before the third trial at least."

The next trial begins on September 9th.

There are still 23 days until that day.

"Really?" Hermione shook her head. "I don't believe it."

Basil couldn't help rubbing his eyes and recalled Hermione's expression in his mind. Damn, perch! ?
"What are you doing~" Hermione looked at Bagel in surprise, whose butt had moved half a body back. Why didn't he stick to her anymore?

Are you tired of me?

The sense of urgency made her bolder, and she began to reach for Bajir's 'magic wand'. Her slender fingers began to play a symphony.
Basil wanted to create a coincidence in advance so that Ginny and Harry would reconcile before getting off the car and forget about Hermione's anger.

"Don't worry, wait until I add a few more spells."

"Don't tear it."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

"We're at the station." Bagir stood up.

Spell cards for internal cleansing spells, healing spells, repair spells, and fragrance spells flashed by.

Everything in the carriage returned to the layout it had been an hour ago.

But Hermione was still subconsciously fixing her hair and wiping her mouth.

After seeing the stockings restored to their original state, I finally understood what had happened.

But even so, on the way to the carriage pulled by the Thestrals, Hermione still subconsciously lowered her head. She always felt that people around her were looking at her with scrutiny, and some marks or aura on her body were exposed.

From time to time, Bajir would joke about hiding in a box - the one that belonged to the ocelot princess.

It was not until she got into the carriage that Hermione gasped and slumped in the seat.

After a while, she remembered to find the culprit and attacked with a small punch, "You are the one who entered the box!"

These weak words and punches did not cause any negative reaction in Bagir. Instead, they made him, who was already unsatisfied, ready to use the Iron Tail skill.

"Merlin's beard! You still want it?" Hermione was horrified. She retracted her fist, curled up into a ball, and backed away repeatedly.

"Just let you go," said Bagir.

Hermione patted her chest, not realizing the hidden meaning.

At this time, in the two carriages not far away, invisible magical light spread out, and the time inside began to accelerate.

Pansy and Luna used all the protections, but all the protections failed. Their clothes were torn into pieces. They then used the "Repel the enemy three feet away", but failed to resist. The Hufflepuff sword attacked them, and their souls left their bodies. They could not get up again and suffered negative status: clear water like a spring, loud voice.
"What a thrilling magic duel." Bagir exclaimed after getting off the carriage.

Hermione, who was being supported but still hadn't recovered her strength, asked, "Where is the duel?"

She thought there really was a duel. She had long known that Bagel's senses were superior to those of ordinary people. That was why she was not surprised that Bagel heard the noise outside the carriage through the isolation of the protective spell.

"In the woods." Bagir did not lie, the carriage was indeed driving in the woods just now.

"Are there students secretly fighting beasts in the woods?" Hermione misunderstood.

But it is indeed possible to do this. I can sit in the auditorium and secretly release the summoned beast to duel in the woods.

In fact, Hagrid has prevented many such incidents. Through his understanding of magical creatures, he can judge whether it is a real battle between magical creatures or a simple energy projection.

"Oh, yes." Bajir nodded.

He still wasn't lying, Seamus and Neville's Acromantula were indeed fighting in the woods.

The origins of both of their Acromantulas are related to the Weasley brothers.

The two had been secretly engaged in the smuggling business, sending their own eight-eyed giant spiders to the Forbidden Forest to trick their relatives out (the eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest are all descendants of Aragog).

Then resell it to the little wizard for 1 gold galleon each, which is cheaper than the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider (100 gold galleons a pint).

As for why they don't sell Venom, it's because they have already done so.

Before the value of Acromantula's venom depreciates.

Because of the existence of summoning cards, the byproducts of magical animals that can be replicated by magic (renewable ones such as venom and hair) are becoming worthless.

Only the byproducts of creatures like the Phoenix, which have not yet been made into cards (Furong has not yet exposed the fact that Fox made cards), are still valuable.

In general, with the support of the endless supply of eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, almost every Gryffindor now has one.

The Weasley twins' business might have even expanded to Slytherin if Hagrid's Aragog had not been put back to manage his own offspring, and then discovered that the offspring were disappearing in large numbers.

Hermione also knew about this.

"Those spiders again."

Only the rampant and dark eight-eyed giant spiders can fight openly in the forest.

"Hagrid is too careless. The Acromantulas are about to surpass the Centaurs to become the number one group in the Forbidden Forest if it weren't for the help of Fred and George."

"Yes," Baqir nodded, "but this is also tradition."

"It has always been a tradition for young wizards to bring magical animals to Hogwarts and leave them to breed in this forbidden forest."

"What?" Hermione was a little incredulous.

"There is accurate evidence for this," Basil answered. "Early historical records and wood carvings and stone carvings show that before the Hogwarts Express was built, Hogwarts students were used to arriving at school in any way they found interesting."

"Among them, only a few rode broomsticks (carrying a suitcase this way was a chore)."

"There are almost no attempts to Disapparate. After all, the castle and the campus are protected by anti-Disapparate spells, and those who do so will suffer a miserable end."

"Using an enchanted cart or a horse-drawn carriage is a good way to get rich."

"So riding various magical creatures is the choice of most students."

"And when they go to school, they leave them in the Forbidden Forest."

"The result is that they have multiplied in the forest?" Hermione asked. "That's why there are so many magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest that are obviously from all over the world." Basil pointed to a Thestral pulling a carriage towards them and said, "Well, it is clearly the descendant of the Thestrals that students used to ride to school."

The Thestrals stopped in front of the gates and Harry took Ron's hand and jumped out of the carriage.

"Why don't you go in?" Harry asked the two of them after quietly letting go of Ron's hand.

"You know," Badgill shrugged, "I'm a Hufflepuff and Hermione is a Gryffindor."

"At the opening dinner, we still have to sit according to the college divisions."

“Instead of going in and separating, it’s better to stay outside for a while.”

"Are you and Ginny still quarreling?" Hermione noticed that Ginny walked straight into the castle without waiting for Harry and Ron.

Harry muttered, "She said bad things about Ron."

"Bad words about Ron?" Hermione and Basil learned bad things from them and pretended to have misheard.

"It's my fault." Ron stood up.

"What did she say about you?" Hermione prompted. As a mutual friend of Harry, Ginny and Ron, she hoped to play a positive role in their relationship which was like a tangled ball of wool.

"Let me do it," Harry said, protecting Ron as if he were a piece of fragile china.

"Ron is indeed playful," Hermione said fairly, "but Ginny shouldn't say that."

Ron nodded indignantly, "She thinks she's the mother!"

Hermione changed the subject, "But Ron, you too, how did you react when you found out that Harry and Ginny were together? Do you remember what you said and did? You said Ginny needed your permission to date."

"You both made the same mistake, loving and caring about each other too much to the point of losing your sense of proportion."

"Harry you too, Ginny scolded me if she wanted to."

"They are brother and sister, there is no need for you to interfere. Just get Ron back. Ginny knows the truth of that statement."

"If you hadn't intervened, I'm afraid they would have reconciled by now."

"I'm going to find Ginny." Harry said quickly, fearing that Hermione would continue to talk.

Baqir also ended his stay in front of the gate for the same reason.

So the four of them hurried up the stone steps and entered the castle.

The hallway was lit red by torches and echoed with the sound of their four empty footsteps.

They walked across the flagstones to the right, toward the double doors that led to the Great Hall, where the start-of-term banquet was to be held.

The hall was filled with six long house tables, and above it was a starless, dark ceiling, exactly the same as the sky outside that they could see through the high windows.

Candles floated above the dining table, illuminating the silvery-white ghosts dotted in the auditorium and the excited faces of the students.

They almost all looked in Harry's direction.

Even those students who did not go back during the holidays were still waiting in the auditorium.

They had all heard what had happened on the train.

The cold face Ginny had just walked into was also good evidence.

Harry could only try to pretend that he didn't see anything and didn't care, and walked towards Ginny.

Basil left the three and sat down at the Hufflepuff table.

Hermione gave Harry a shove and he sat down heavily on the empty seat next to Ginny, while Ron took the other side, also pretending to be nonchalant.

"Ginny," said Harry.

Ginny snorted.

The students who were paying attention to this side began to talk and whisper to each other.

Across the street, Seamus and Neville winked at each other.

Fred and George have clenched their fists. If Harry treats Ginny badly, they will teach Ron a lesson!

If they couldn't teach Harry a lesson, how could they teach their own brother a lesson?

Under the attention of the people around him, and even the Durmstrang students far away, Harry took a deep breath and said, "I have no feelings other than friendship for Ron."

"But you are mean to me." Ginny's square cheeks trembled.

Harry hugged Ginny directly and gave her a deep kiss.

What he learned in the spell card world was that actions sometimes speak louder than words.

He does this every time Draco makes trouble.

Ginny indeed lost her ability to resist in an instant.

Under the wizard's charm and the physical and spiritual blessing of her love for Harry, Ginny was unable to resist at all.

Her skinny arms and legs were no match for Harry's magically transformed body.

She could only close her eyes and enjoy it.

Ron, who was about to say something to help Harry, froze, feeling inexplicably sour in his heart.

But Lavender hugging him from behind made him find himself again, so he raised his head and kissed Lavender.

The whole auditorium suddenly became noisy.

Countless couples began to follow the example of Harry and Ginny.

Snape looked at Lily, he tried to touch her fingers, and then felt air (heroic spirits are just projections in the real world).

Dumbledore blocked Ariana's view.

Hagrid took a sip of his drink and lunged at Madame Maxime.

Professor McGonagall also took a sip of wine, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, perhaps she was thinking of her deceased husband, or the kiss with Hagrid at the ball.

Pansy and Luna glanced at Hermione, then secretly
Hermione ran to the Hufflepuff table, shouted away the witches who wanted to take advantage of the situation and made a move, and prepared to stamp Bagel's mouth to declare her sovereignty.

Fleur appeared with a flash of fire, pulled Hermione away, and put her mouth close to hers.

"Attention!" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but knock on the cup, ending the excitement in the hall.

"The sorting ceremony is about to begin. I hope everyone can set an example for the new students instead of..."

She didn't say the last word, but stood up and walked out of the auditorium quickly.

Hermione cast a sensitive look after Professor McGonagall.

She didn't realize that Furong took advantage of the moment when she turned her head to launch a sneak attack on Bagir.

Bajir could only respond with "hardship" and "helplessness".

Who says he is a warrior? As an outsider wizard, I can only bear it silently.

Sometimes life is so cruel that we have no choice but to endure it.
