Chapter 164 The unpredictable lion heart
Regarding the accident of the Goblet of Fire, most students seemed a little aggrieved, but this did not include the little lions of Gryffindor House.
When Harry and Hermione walked all the way to the common room and opened the portrait, the sudden noise that filled their ears made them almost fall on their backs.
Next thing he knew, he was being dragged into the common room by about a dozen pairs of hands, facing all the Gryffindor students. They were all screaming, cheering, and whistling.
Obviously, the little lions who have always been united are always more excited than unwilling to have two warriors in their academy.
"You should have told us you signed up!" Fred Weasley yelled. He looked half annoyed, half excited.
"How could you get by without growing a beard?" George Weasley also shouted.
"I didn't," said Harry, "I don't know how -"
Harry felt that he didn't know how to explain it at all, because he was confused himself! And Hermione lowered her head, letting her messy hair cover her face.
At this moment, Angelina rushed to them like a whirlwind and defended: "Oh, even if it can't be me, at least she is a member of Gryffindor——"
"Yeah! Better than having Hufflepuff's Digory be the champion, Harry!" screamed Katie Bell, also a Chaser on the Gryffindor team.
"We've prepared something to eat. Harry, Hermione, come over and have something to eat -"
"I'm not hungry. I had enough at the party-"
Hermione walked through the crowd without saying a word, leaving everyone behind and headed to the girls' dormitory.
However, it was the boys who made the most noise, especially the Weasley twins. They seemed to think it was not suitable to forcibly stop Hermione, so they all focused on Harry.
No one wanted to hear him say that he was not hungry, no one wanted to hear him say that he did not put his name into the goblet, and no one seemed to notice that he was in no mood to celebrate it.
Everyone wanted to know how he did it, how he deceived Dumbledore's age line and put his name into the goblet...
"I don't know," he said over and over again, "I don't know what's going on."
But everyone ignored him at all, as if he didn't say anything.
"I'm tired!" After about half an hour, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, "No, seriously, George - I want to go to bed -"
Harry especially wanted to see Ron, his good friend would always understand him, but he didn't seem to be in the common room.
Harry kept insisting that he needed to sleep, and almost knocked down the Creevey brothers who tried to intercept him at the stairs. Finally, he finally got rid of everyone and hurried upstairs to the dormitory.
To his great relief, he found Ron lying on the bed fully clothed, and he was the only one in the dormitory. When Harry closed the door hard, Ron looked up.
"Where have you been?" said Harry.
"Oh, hello." Ron said.
Ron had a smile on his face, but it was a very awkward and forced smile.
Harry suddenly realized that he was still wearing the bright red Gryffindor flag that Lee Jordan had tied on him just now. He wanted to take it off quickly, but the knot was very tight.
Ron lay motionless on the bed, watching Harry struggle to untie the flag.
"So," Ron said when Harry finally took off the flag and threw it into the corner, "congratulations... I mean, congratulations to you."
"What do you mean, congratulations?" Harry said, looking at Ron.
At this moment, there was something obviously wrong with Ron's smile. He looked at Harry as if he was looking at something irrelevant.
"Nothing...no one else has crossed the age line," said Ron, "not even Fred and George. What did you and Hermione use - the invisibility cloak?"
"There's no way the invisibility cloak will allow us to cross that line." Harry looked at Ron's expression, and an uncomfortable feeling arose spontaneously.
"Oh, sorry," Ron said, "I thought you guys used an invisibility cloak together...because the invisibility cloak can cover two people at the same time, right? So you have found some other way, right?
?"
"Look," said Harry, "I didn't put my name into the goblet, and I don't think Hermione did either - she's been very depressed today and hasn't been talking to anyone."
Ron raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, none of you have...then who could it be?" Ron forced a smile and said dryly, "Who would help others become warriors for no reason?"
Ron's tone was very strange, as if he was thinking about Harry's problem, but also had a hint of inexplicable discomfort.
"Why would they do that?"
"I don't know," Harry said. He felt that the following words sounded sensational and staged. "To kill me."
Ron's eyebrows were raised so high that they seemed to disappear into his hair.
"It doesn't matter, you know, you can tell me the truth." He said, "If you don't want others to know, that's fine, but I don't understand why you lied. You didn't get into trouble for it.
Yes or no?"
"The Fat Lady's friend, that Violet, she has told us all that Dumbledore has selected you. Yes, that's right, you, and Hermione, get a thousand galleons bonus, right? And also
No need to take the year-end exam..."
"I didn't put my name in the goblet!" said Harry, beginning to feel annoyed.
"Really, okay," Ron pursed his lips, "But you also mentioned it this morning. You said you could do it last night and no one would see you... You know, I'm not a fool."
"You certainly have left such an impression on me now," Harry said angrily.
"Really?" Whether it was forced or sincere, the smile on Ron's face disappeared without a trace now, "To be honest, I am very sorry for having misunderstood Maka in the past -
—I'm very sorry. Although he always does things mysteriously, he never plays tricks with others when he should be upright!"
After that, he suddenly pulled the curtain over to cover his four-poster bed, leaving Harry standing by the door alone, staring at the crimson curtain in a daze.
He thought that a few people would definitely believe him, and one of them was behind the curtain.
After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Harry finally fell asleep.
However, Ron across from him kept staring at the curtain. In his heart, there was endless boredom.
"Harry and Hermione...Harry and Hermione...Why is this happening? They left me and became warriors together...Why is this happening?"
This feeling was like there were countless bugs crawling around in his heart. He wanted to scratch them, but he couldn't. This turbulent mood was driving him crazy.
The whole night, Ron stared at his bloodshot eyes without falling asleep at all.
…
On the other side, Hermione had been burying herself under the quilt and motionless since she returned to the dormitory.
She didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't know what to think. Her mind was blank.
The feeling of being wronged was too uncomfortable, and it also hit her most insistent principle, without any reason or warning. She was like being hit by a bomb, caught off guard, and had no time to do anything.
Thinking about it.
Facts have proved that no matter how smart she is, she is just an extremely strong girl. Faced with sudden grievances, she even forgot how to deal with them.
Late at night, her roommate could not persuade her and had already gone back to bed. Suddenly, a slight noise broke the tranquility of the night.
Hermione didn't move, because she had been immersed in a blank inner world and didn't hear anything at the moment.
However, the noise continued, as if something was tapping on the window. It kept ringing, as if it would never stop if no one paid attention.
Hermione, who was under the quilt, finally noticed the movement. She moved slightly, lifted the quilt and looked blankly toward the bedroom window.
After a long time, she recognized it. It was an owl she had never seen before, and it seemed to be holding some package under its talons.
Hermione pushed the quilt aside, and then realized that she had gotten into bed without changing her clothes at all.
She pursed her lips, stroked the wrinkled school robe casually, then walked to the window and let the owl in.
The owl called "Cuckoo", put down the package, turned around and flew away.
Hermione looked out the window. Hogwarts was as dark as usual at night, and in mid-air, a crescent moon was hanging quietly and dimly in the clouds.
She lifted the package and looked around in the faint moonlight, only to find that there was no sender, only a single "To Miss Hermione Granger" scrawled at the bottom of the package.
"Who sent the package?"
Hermione opened the package with some doubts.
They were three bottles of glowing black potion. They were bundled together and packed very carefully in a large box filled with cotton. On the top of the box, there was a small card.
.
On the back of the card, the usage of these three bottles of magic potion is described in detail, and it is repeatedly noted that "it is only for self-defense, do not use it lightly".
On the front of the card, there are two sentences written:
"Stay away from fighting and protect yourself."
"Although it's a little late, I wish you a happy birthday."
Hermione bit her lower lip, and the tears in her eyes overflowed unconsciously.
"What's 'a little late'? It's obviously more than a month late!" She wiped away the tears that she couldn't hold back, but a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
Yes, although someone would always forget her birthday, and she always acted like she didn't care. But there was one person who never forgot her birthday, and that was Maka.
But Hermione didn't know that Maka, who always focused on maintaining friendships, rarely missed other people's birthdays. Even Dumbledore, he took some trouble to find out the birthday time!
So far, Dumbledore has received different styles of wool socks for four consecutive years.
