harry potter book of crimes

While Hermione was still showing some of her ideas to Maka, Luna and Delphi's "Chiffon Cake Cup" Wizarding War Chess Competition had already ended.

As for the final result... Although it was Delphi who won the game, she gave the piece of cake to Luna who looked very greedy. This can be regarded as a happy ending for everyone.

After that, everyone returned to their temporary tents and fell asleep one after another with a sense of relaxation after releasing the pressure.

Of course, in reality, there are always some people who are not suitable for using carnival to forget their troubles. For example, Ron, whose personality is very different from the past, and Harry, who has always insisted on himself.

"Harry, are you asleep?"

In the darkness inside the tent, Ron turned over and opened his eyes again. This seemed to be the sixth time he turned over in the ten minutes after turning off the lights. The feeling of emptiness after all the fuss made him

He couldn't sleep at all.

To be honest, if it had been in the past, he would have been able to sleep to death with his pillow wet. But now...

Although Maka taught him to think, it also brought him more troubles. Whether this was a good change or not, no one could tell.

At the same time, Harry on the other side opened his eyes after Ron's words.

"...Huh?" He replied softly, "No, I can't sleep."

"Then..." Ron also whispered, "Come out with me to get some fresh air? It seems like we haven't sat down and chatted for a long time. I'm worried that I might wake others up here."

When Harry heard this, he immediately turned over and sat up, lifting up the thin quilt.

"Okay! I just want someone to talk to."

Originally, Harry wanted to find Ginny to watch the stars and chat, but who knew that Ginny had vented her heart out today and was so drunk that Hermione and Delphi had just pushed her back. Now Ron wants to talk,

It was just right for Harry, who also couldn't sleep.

Not long after, the two of them quietly walked out of the tent again and sat down on the old tree stump next to them.

At this time, the bonfire in the middle of the camp was almost extinguished, and only the remaining charcoal was still glowing with sparks in the stone circle. There were drifting clouds in the sky that quietly covered half of the bright moon, making the night between heaven and earth appear darker.

Harry and Ron sat under the stars for a while, but Ron finally spoke first.

"Harry," he said coldly, "can you tell me in detail about your experience fighting with Neville outside? You know, I'm afraid I will never be able to join you, so I at least want to hear more...

If my children know these old things in the future, I can at least brag to them and say that you are all my best friends."

Ron didn't know what kind of mentality he had when he said these words. Was it jealousy? Or unwillingness? No, it was definitely not such a superficial emotion.

And if I had to use one word to describe it, Ron felt that it might be "helpless".

Now, Ron has actually hidden all these emotions in his heart. If the emptiness after tonight's carnival hadn't made the feeling of powerlessness almost overflowing, and if it weren't for his best friend Harry sitting there right now, he would definitely be

Unspeakable.

Not far away, Harry couldn't help but be startled after hearing Ron's words. No matter how slow he was, he could still hear the disappointment and regret in the other person's words.

However, although he wanted to persuade his good friend, what should he say?

Harry actually knew in his heart that his current strength was due to a lot of luck. Unlike Neville, he completed his transformation almost entirely with his own bravery and hard work.

so……

"Ron, to be honest, I would rather tell you Neville's story than my own experience. Because...well, I don't mean anything else, I just think his experience should be more beneficial to you.

Some inspiration.”

The story of Neville summoning the Lion Patronus was something Harry asked directly when he was trying to find the courage. But tonight, he could only retell the story to Ron in its entirety.

Because he also hopes that Ron can "get what he wants" and break through his limits.

"Ron, didn't Maka once say that? Everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at. Sometimes, we just fail to discover what we are good at..." Harry said as he thought.

, "That may require a little luck and patience. Your current efforts must be enough, and we all see it."

"So I think you might as well wait and see, the opportunity might appear at some point..."

At this point, Harry began to tell the story of Neville's transformation. Ron listened silently and did not speak again from beginning to end, only occasionally showing a slightly sad expression.

He knew Harry's character, so he actually knew that Harry really wanted to help him and give him some inspiration that might exist in Neville's story.

Just like Neville's powerful Patronus Charm, it originated from his love for his relatives. At that time, in order to protect his grandma, he burst out with the greatest courage. Even Harry could not match the power of breaking through himself.

Therefore, Harry still often thinks that if Neville's courage could be purer and more in line with Gryffindor's will, maybe he wouldn't be the one wielding the sword now.

After all, that is indeed stronger than the current Harry, and it is the courage to defeat oneself.

And Ron... he is also a lion of Gryffindor House, isn't he? Then, maybe Ron's breakthrough point will also be courage, but it is different from what Neville and Harry possess...

…

Ron could feel Harry's thoughts, but unfortunately, he never felt that this was what he was good at. God knows if the Sorting Hat was holding the Sorting Hat because he kept chanting "Quality" in his mind during the sorting ceremony.

"Lanffindor", and then casually passed him over?

Anyway, Ron didn't see many Gryffindor traits in himself. Even the recklessness at the time was long gone now.

After listening to Harry finish telling Neville's deeds bit by bit, Ron saw that Harry's eyes looked at him full of expectation. In order not to disappoint Harry, he nodded heavily.

"I understand, don't worry...I won't give up."

Harry smiled encouragingly and was just thinking about talking about his own affairs. But at this moment, an inexplicable sound suddenly came from the other end of the camp, causing both him and Ron to subconsciously move towards the opposite side.

Looked over.

"What's that sound?"

"I don't know...let's go over and have a look!"
