Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Ron was not angry at being Harry's guinea pig for testing the spell. After the initial fright, he even found the spell funny. In his opinion, the Golden Bell Curse was just a harmless prank spell.

Ron, who had endured countless nasty jokes from the twins, did not take Harry's behavior to heart at all. Instead, he pestered Harry to teach him this spell. Moreover, the first time he met Hermione

Soon, he told Hermione this matter as a joke.

"...There was just a flash of bright light, and I fell back on the bed!" Ron said with a smile, and took a bite of the sausage in his hand.

Hermione listened quietly, but there was no smile on her face that Harry and Ron expected to see. It was cold and a little dissatisfied.

"That's what you learned from that book again, Harry," Hermione said.

Harry frowned unconsciously when he heard this, and replied with an impatient tone: "That's right, but... so what?"

"A handwritten strange spell, you tried it on your good friend, just to see what would happen? Did you really not expect the seriousness of the problem?" Hermione's tone was very serious and serious.

Face, "I thought you would make some progress after all these things have happened."

"So what if it's handwritten? It's just a joke, it's no big deal, and Ron wasn't hurt!" Harry retorted.

"When you were experimenting, didn't you think about the possibility that someone might get hurt?" Hermione said, "Moreover, this spell may be prohibited by the Ministry of Magic..."

"This is impossible!" Harry and Ron said in unison, "We were just joking, it's not this serious..."

"Hang someone upside down for fun? Who do you think would do that?" Hermione asked.

"Fred and George, I don't know how many times I have been pranked by them. They love to play these pranks, so now they have such a big shop." Ron's face was still written all over.

No matter what, he shrugged and took another bite of the sausage in his hand.

Hermione was about to say something, but Harry interrupted.

"My dad."

"What?" Hermione and Ron asked in unison.

"My father used that spell." Harry said, and then he told the two of them what he had seen in Dumbledore's pensieve. As he spoke, an inexplicable thought came to his mind:

Maybe, the half-blood prince is his father?

After hearing this, Ron showed an expression of approval on his face, but Hermione obviously still insisted on her own opinion.

"Maybe your dad used him, Harry," she said, "but he's not the only one who knows this charm. We've all seen a bunch of people use it, remember? Suspend people in the air and let them

You are so groggy that you wantonly put them into various shapes?"

Harry was startled, and naturally recalled the scene he had seen on the night of the Quidditch World Cup final, and his expression changed. Ron, however, still disagreed and said: "These are two different things, Hermione."

"Those guys are abusing this magic, we are just joking."

"I just want you to realize how dangerous your behavior is!" Hermione said seriously, "No matter what spells you learned from that book, you should not use them directly on people. At least, you can go

A trip to that room, with so many targets inside, won’t take you much time!”

Harry and Ron were speechless when they heard this. They knew very well that what Hermione said was right. Thinking about it now, Harry also felt that he was indeed reckless.

He looked at Ron, patted him on the shoulder, and apologized again.

"Sorry, Ron."

Ron waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay Harry, I'm okay..."

Seeing this, Hermione was about to say something to Ron, but Ginny came and handed a roll of parchment to Harry.

"This is for you, Harry!" After saying that, she sat directly next to Hermione and asked with interest, "What were you talking about just now?"

No one answered him. Harry opened the parchment directly, saw the familiar font on it, and said happily: "Thank you, Ginny... Dumbledore is going to teach me again! On Monday night!"

"

"Ah, this is really great." Ron said immediately.

"Yes, to be honest, after such a long time, I thought he had forgotten... By the way, Ginny, will you go to Hogsmeade with us?" Harry said.

"No, I'm going with Dean..." Ginny said, and immediately received a glare from Ron. But this obviously didn't frighten Ginny. She said goodbye to Hermione and left directly.

The rest of the breakfast ended with Ron constantly scolding Ginny. They wrapped themselves up, passed Filch's inspection, and finally set off for Hogsmeade.

The weather today was very bad, not to mention the wind, but also snowing. The wind carried the snow and hit it on the face, like a knife. Harry and the others wrapped their faces tightly with scarves, leaving only a pair of eyes.

Look at the road, but honestly, it's useless.

It was so cold that even the crack that was exposed was numb from the cold.

Along the way, they saw many people who were also struggling to move forward in the wind and snow, which made them feel a little regretful. In such weather, would it be better to stay in the warm common room?

Finally arriving at Hogsmeade, they saw that Zuko’s Joke Shop was closed and the doors and windows were nailed with boards. This made the three of them feel a little bad. After walking for a while, they saw Honeydukes.

, I feel better again.

The door is still open there.

"Praise Merlin!" After finally squeezing into Honeydukes, feeling the warm air filled with the scent of candy, the three of them breathed a long sigh of relief. Ron even suggested staying here for a day.

"No, I've already made an appointment with Sirius." Harry shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'm just complaining." Ron muttered, then smiled and rushed towards the shelves full of candies. The closing of Zuko's Joke Shop did help him.

I have decided to spend all my pocket money on candy.

Harry and Hermione were not idle either. They also bought candies. Bee sizzling candies were undoubtedly the most popular, and pineapple preserves were also very good. Except for cockroach piles, which are anti-human candies, Harry had more or less other candies.

Bought some of them all.

"What is this?" Harry pointed at Hermione's quill-like things and asked during the checkout, "Since when did they still sell quills here?"

"This is a high-end candy cane quill, which is similar to a lollipop. You can lick one for several hours." Hermione paid the bill very mistakenly, and then carefully stuffed her candy into her robe.

"By the way, where did you meet Sirius?" she asked.

"Pig's Head Bar." Harry also packed his candies and called to Ron who was making a difficult choice.

"Ron, hurry up, we need to go!"
