"Harry?"

Ron, who had just walked around the school, finally found his good friend in the dormitory.

"Oh, you... I mean, don't pay too much attention to what others say, just be yourself."

In just one morning, rumors about Harry spread almost throughout Hogwarts. Ron had just gotten up at that time, but as soon as he arrived in the common room, several Gryffindor classmates told him about Harry.

He was told the situation - as if they were all there watching the whole process!

Well, actually the thing was very simple - when Harry looked at Qiu's leaving figure, he had an impulse that he couldn't hold back, and he shouted out what was in his heart as soon as his mind got hot.

"...Oh, don't comfort me," Harry said regretfully, holding his head, "I know how stupid I looked at that time! Ron...just leave me alone for a while!"

"Seriously, what on earth did you shout?" Ron sat down on his bed and said with a complicated expression, "You know, I don't believe what they said. I always feel that they have relied on their imagination to add too much

That’s a lot of ingredients!”

"Oh... do you think I would want to say it again?" Harry waved his hands feebly, then simply fell back on the bed and lifted the quilt to cover his head.

But after a while, he told Ron the answer in a muffled voice under the quilt.

"...Well, actually I can't remember exactly, my mind was in a mess at the time!" Harry said with his eyes closed, "It was probably something like 'I'm a hundred times better than Cedric', or maybe 'Cedric'

Derek isn't the winner of the Triwizard Cup or anything like that, right?"

"Uh..." Ron said with a strange expression, "This actually sounds...well, I have to admit, this is indeed bad enough..."

"I just hope the truth can't be worse than this -" Harry sighed heavily, "There was another sentence that flashed through my mind at the time..."

"What words could be worse than this?" Ron suddenly said in surprise.

"For example..." Harry suddenly opened the quilt and sat up again, "For example, 'Cedric just has a good face, and his brain is not enough to fill an egg shell.'

……some type of?"

"...Are you sure?" Ron said subconsciously, "That handsome little badger has always had good academic performance."

"Are you helping me or him?" Harry muttered angrily, but then shook his head, "No, I didn't mean egg shells at that time... I'm sure that sentence wasn't that long...

"

"Okay! Sorry -" Ron apologized quickly, "Well... Actually, although everyone is talking about you now, it's probably not a big deal. Everyone will be tired of talking in a few days. I think, now

The most important thing is, what was Qiu’s reaction at that time?”

"What was the reaction?" Harry tried his best to recall and said uncertainly, "She didn't say anything at the time, she just looked at me in surprise... then... later..."

"What happened next?" Ron asked curiously.

"...She left later," Harry said, and then thought about it, "No, I remember she said something before she left... Oh! My whole mind was blank at that time, and now

It’s like being under an amnesia spell, I can’t remember anything!”

Just as Harry slapped his forehead in distress, a voice came from the door.

"...Qiu said 'I'm sorry'."

Although this voice was very crisp, it seemed to be a little unhappy.

"Ginny?" Ron turned around and asked in surprise, "Why did you come to the boys' dormitory?"

"It's not like you're not allowed in!" Ginny at the door strode in nonchalantly, while glaring at her brother angrily, "Qiu is probably not that angry, she's much smarter than you! You'll understand soon.

What’s going on?”

"Oh! Really? She's not angry?" Harry jumped up from the bed, "Are you serious?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Ginny's eyes lingered on Harry's face for a moment, but then she pursed her lips and looked away slightly, "Cedric is her boyfriend! You said that about Cedric, Qiu Hui

Aren’t you angry?”

"Ah... um..." Harry hesitated and said, "Ginny, I mean... you were also in the hall at that time? What exactly did I say at that time?"

Ginny glanced at him again, then sighed and said: "It's just like the egg shell -"

"Ah? Really, really?" Harry's scalp suddenly felt numb.

"Brother," Ron shook his head helplessly and gave Harry a cherished expression, "I think Cedric might challenge you for a duel, so you'd better be more prepared..."

"Cedric is not as narrow-minded as you!" Ginny scolded Ron again mercilessly, then turned to Harry and said, "Also, it's best not to interrupt before others have finished speaking!"

She paused, and after Harry gave him an expectant look, she continued: "I did say 'eggshell', but you remember it well - what you said was not that long at the time!"

"Then what did I say?" Harry asked nervously.

"You said Cedric's head was an egg shell!" Ginny said with a straight face, and suddenly she couldn't hold herself back and laughed, "Giggle... I think your head was an egg shell at that time...

"

"...and it's an empty egg shell." Harry laughed at himself as if he was resigned to his fate.

"Stop laughing, Ginny!" Ron stopped him repeatedly, "Harry is already miserable enough...and to be honest, this sentence is not as good as the one just now! At least it sounds like there is something in his head.

…”

"Don't worry!" Ginny seemed to have had enough laughter, she waved her hand and said, "Cedric probably doesn't mean to blame you, but you'd better find a chance to apologize or something - I heard Qiu plans to

He will also introduce you to R.A., and then you can make peace with him."

"...But before that, you'd better give up on Qiu." Ron added.

"I know, of course I know." Harry said in despair, "But there is one thing I still don't understand - when was the relationship between Qiu and Cedric finalized?"

"They have been a couple for a long time!" Ginny's tone seemed a little helpless, "You are the only one in the world who doesn't know it yet."

"I don't know either." Ron couldn't help but answered.

This time Ginny didn't even look at him.

"What do you know!" she exclaimed habitually.

However, this aroused some thoughts in Ron's heart, and his expression began to become a little dull.

"Yeah! I don't know anything," he sighed and said in the same way, "I don't even know what's going on between you and that Michael..."

When dealing with other situations, Ron is no longer as narrow-minded as before. But when faced with his sister's love affair, he is still the boy with a thorn in his heart.

As soon as he said these words, Ginny's expression suddenly changed.

"This is none of your business!" she shouted at Ron.

"Why is it none of my business?" Ron said stubbornly, "You are my sister!"

"As a younger sister, do I have to get my brother's permission before I can fall in love? I am free to fall in love with whoever I want!" Ginny said angrily, "If you are not convinced, then find someone yourself! See if I will care about which one you find. ?”

"I -" Ron raised his hand, but he really had no place to vent, so he had to slap his thigh with all his strength, "Anyway, I will never admit him!"

"Who wants you to admit it?"

Ginny glared at him fiercely, then turned around and left without looking back.

"Ha!" Ron laughed angrily, "Look at me, I have a good sister that no one needs to worry about!"

"Uh... I said," this time it was Harry who persuaded Ron, "Ginny has always been very smart, she should know what she is doing..."

"You don't need to say it, I know it!" Ron said subconsciously, his anger still lingering, "Also, you should say this to yourself!"

"What?" Harry asked confused.

"Huh?" Ron seemed to understand what he was just talking about. He shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing... I was just talking angrily..."

He knew that Ginny had always liked Harry before, but he also knew that Harry, who had always been slow, had never noticed this.

In fact, right now Ron really wants to set up a match between Harry and his precious sister, just when Harry has just been "broken in love", the effect will definitely be great!

However, Ron found that there was an inexplicable force in his heart that prevented him from having this idea.

Yes, Ron hated that Michael Corner. He felt that the kelp-headed boy was not worthy of the smart and beautiful Ginny.

When facing Ginny, he wanted to make Ginny give up on that guy immediately.

But when Ginny was not in front of him, he couldn't do such a thing that might make his sister sad. After all, even if Ginny had always been obsessed with Harry before, it didn't mean that it was still the case now.

"Maybe... Ginny and that retarded kelp leader really love each other?" Ron hesitated secretly, but then shook his head hard, "Huh! Even if that's the case, I will never admit it to him! Absolutely !”

"...Ron, what do you think I should do?"

When Ron came back to his senses, he happened to hear the last words of Harry who was chattering.

"What should I do?" He looked at Harry and asked, "Are you still thinking about Qiu?"

"What! Are you listening?" Harry said, "I mean, how am I going to apologize to Cedric - will he accept it?"

"How do I know," Ron said, standing up from the bed, "Don't think about it, just apologize when the time comes. As for whether he accepts it or not, that's his business! Let's go to the sea. Sit there for a while - Hermione and Maka don't know when they will be back!"

"Okay..." Harry nodded, but complained a little, "Hermione only said that she was going to do something, and I don't know where they went... Can't you take us with you?"
