harry potter book of crimes

When a wizard who is supposed to be shaking his wand and casting spells suddenly picks up a blade, he may swing it at his enemy like Godric Gryffindor or Harry Potter, but that may not always be the case.

.

Just like Mr. Ron Weasley standing in front of Hermione at this moment, he saw his dagger coming out of its sheath, seeing his robe sleeves raised in the air, and seeing the blade flashing with cold light.

Then the next moment, with a squeaking sound, the blade was buried in his thigh.

In an instant, the darkness that had occupied his eyes retreated again.

"Ron...Ron, what are you doing-"

"do not come."

Ron, who had looked exhausted since just now, became obviously weaker now. But when Hermione wanted to get closer to him, he took a step back and raised his hand to stop her.

"I'm fine, it's just...it almost succeeded."

Ron leaned against the wall pillar and gasped while talking. When he said the word "it", he raised his head and glanced up. Then, he quickly pulled out the dagger inserted into his thigh wound.

, although it brought out some blood, he didn't care about it.

Then he continued:

"Hermione, you are smart. You know... he is a devil. That guy said he would give me power... Hey, to be honest, it's so tempting! I really lack this... It's a pity that I don't dare to ask for it."

At this point, he seemed to really feel regretful, but he still shook his head after all.

Perhaps because of such a shake, he felt a little dizzy again. He suddenly inserted the dagger in his hand back into his leg, and then continued with a grin:

"Hiss... forget it, I don't have time to talk about this... Anyway, I came here to tell you, be careful of that devil! It will confuse guys like me who are not firm in their hearts."

"'Bewitched'... Well, this was an oversight on my part. I should have thought of it earlier."

Hermione watched him stabbing her leg again, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Ron used this method to strengthen his recovery ability from the ashes of the phoenix, and she also knew this - this happened many times,

It couldn't be hidden, and Ron didn't really want to hide it.

However, Hermione didn't really like seeing him do this kind of behavior that was tantamount to self-mutilation.

As for the "bewitchment" mentioned by Ron... Hermione really didn't know much about it, but she at least knew something about the Bewitchment Monument. Since what appeared in the air at this moment was "Arrogance"

"It seems that Ron's situation is not so puzzling now.

However, as Hermione said, as the commander-in-chief of the stronghold, she did not consider this possibility when preparing the plan to respond to the enemy. It was indeed a mistake on her part.

"Ron, you stay here and wait - I'll have someone keep an eye on you - I'm going to find Miss Geoffrey right now, she may be able to help you."

"No, no need..."

When Ron saw this, he subconsciously raised his hand to hold Hermione, but he seemed to have forgotten that the dagger in his hand was still stuck in his thigh. Suddenly he felt pain in his leg again, and then saw himself again

The hand stretched out to Hermione still held a bloody sharp blade, and she quickly took it back.

But Hermione was still stopped by his reaching out her hand.

"Don't waste time on me, now is the most tense time of the war."

Ron listened to the continuous explosions outside, and stabbed the dagger back again. Along with the pain again, his head woke up again.

"And... you don't know," he said, "just now at home, 'it' tried to seduce me to attack Ginny and Hannah... It really scared me to death... I didn't dare to stay any longer...

…I’m just here to tell you this. Then, I will find a place where I can’t see anyone and stay there, and if I can’t bear it anymore, I’ll prick my thighs…”

As he spoke, he stood up and turned around to leave along the way he came. But before he took two steps, two pairs of very familiar shoes suddenly caught his slightly lowered eyes.

"Uh," Ron raised his head and stared at the two figures standing at the door behind him, "Ginny... Hannah, did you... hear that?"

Yes, because Ron came slowly, when he staggered into the east tower, Ginny and Hannah had already come out of the Burrow. And while he was talking to Hermione, the two girls

Er then appeared behind him.

"You can't walk! How many steps can you walk like this?"

Ginny stared at him and said loudly.

"It's definitely more than you think."

Ron smiled at his most precious sister, but the right palm that was still holding the dagger subconsciously left the handle, letting the blade pierce his thigh, swaying slightly with the twitching of the muscles.

It seemed that he was really afraid that if he were in a daze, the sharp blade would "reach Ginny's neck by itself."

"Get out of the way! Ginny... trust me for once, can't you?"

The corners of Ron's mouth twitched and he showed an ugly smile again.

But Ginny still held Hannah's hand and blocked the door, her thin lips pursed tightly, and her eyes stared fiercely at Ron's face.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Hermione's voice finally came from behind Ron again.

"Ginny, Hannah...let him go down there!"

Nowadays, Hermione's words are probably the most useful in the team. Even Safina, Blois and others who are the most difficult to talk to are unlikely to reject her suggestions.

After Ginny hesitated for a while, she finally stepped aside with Hannah, but her eyes were still staring at Ron fiercely.

This is Ginny's basic expression when she "cares" about herself extremely. Of course, Ron knows it very well and is very accustomed to it.

"You all should be careful... Of course, with your willpower, you won't have to rely on death like me."

Watching Ron's back slowly disappearing out of the doorway, Hermione and Ginny looked at each other, and they could actually see the worry in each other's eyes.

However, what Ron said just now is right, and there is really no time to waste now.

"Changed the formation?" Hermione looked away, glanced outside the lookout, and then said, "Thanks to you, the barrier has been temporarily stabilized, but we still have no way of determining how long it will last. Maybe half

Hours, maybe the next second... Anyway, Ginny, take Hannah over there to help repair the damaged output formation on the tower! How long can it last, how long..."

Although I am worried about Ron's condition, the priority now is the defense of the stronghold. If the stronghold is breached too early, that will be the worst outcome.
