Magical Studies at Hogwarts

This was probably the most gifts Ron had received in seventeen years, and he was almost overwhelmed by packages of all sizes.

Putting the gold watch on his arm, Ron began to take it apart one by one, exclaiming from time to time. They were all his favorite things, basically either prank items or various snacks.

"Do you want it, Harry?" Ron broke off a piece of chocolate and handed it to Harry, chewing a piece in his mouth.

"No, thank you." Harry shook his head, spread the Marauder's Map flat on his bed, and tried to find Malfoy among the stacked names, his words showing a little absent-mindedness.

Ron shrugged and threw the chocolate in his hand into his mouth, even though he hadn't swallowed the piece in his mouth yet.

During this period of time, Harry has been staring at the Marauder's Map whenever he has free time, and Ron has become accustomed to it. Sometimes he will help look for it. He also knows that Malfoy is elusive now and often disappears, but it won't be long before he disappears.

appear elsewhere.

He didn't think there was anything strange about this, even if Malfoy's whereabouts were indeed very strange, but as Hermione said, there were many secrets in the castle of Hogwarts, and it was impossible for a Marauder's Map to hide them all.

are all exposed.

Compared to Harry's persistence, Ron felt that Hermione's words made more sense.

Harry took off his glasses and rubbed them. His eyes had always been a little sore recently. After putting on his glasses again, he tapped the map with his wand and said: "Prank over!" The various lines on the map and

The name then quickly disappeared.

While he was getting dressed, he was thinking about the reason why Malfoy disappeared from time to time, but just like the densely packed names on the Marauder's Map, his mind was also a mess.

Harry also knew that the best way to figure out this matter was to keep an eye on him, but this was not realistic, especially for him who was already in sixth grade. Quidditch, courses, homework and Apparition, all kinds of things...

This kind of trivial matter takes up almost all of his time. Even with an invisibility cloak, it is unrealistic.

"Are you ready, Ron?" Harry asked casually after getting dressed, "Aren't we going to have breakfast together?"

"I'm not hungry, you go ahead." Ron replied, his tone a little lonely.

Harry turned his head in confusion, only to find Ron sitting among a pile of unwrapped gifts, staring blankly at the rain-washed window. He was motionless, holding an uneaten piece of chocolate in his hand.

"Didn't you just say..."

"Okay, I'll go down with you, but I don't want to eat." Ron sighed and got up from the bed rather helplessly.

Harry's eyes kept falling on the piece of chocolate in Ron's hand, his face full of weirdness.

"Have you finished all the chocolate?" he asked.

"No... forget it, you don't understand even if you tell me." Ron muttered and started to put on his clothes. Harry looked at it for a while, then shook his head and turned around, but before he opened the door to the dormitory, he heard

Ron suddenly stopped him with a loud voice.

"Harry! I can't take it anymore!"

"What?"

"I can't miss her!"

Hearing this, Harry felt goosebumps all over his body. Even though it had been so long, he still felt uncomfortable with the sweet relationship between Ron and Lavender.

"I don't think she will stop you from having breakfast, right?"

Ron suddenly looked desperate, slumped down on the bed, spread his hands and said: "She doesn't know I exist, Harry! Do you understand?"

"How come she doesn't know about you? The gift she gave you is still sitting under your butt." Harry said, pointing to the squashed pink heart-shaped box under Ron's butt.

"Who? Lavender? It's not her..." Ron took out the box, glanced at it, and threw it aside.

"Who is she?" Harry asked in shock.

"Romilda Vanni!"

"Are you kidding me?" Harry said, looking at Ron who looked innocent.

"No! I'm sure, I love her!" Ron said decisively.

Harry stared at Ron for a while, then waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, okay." Harry said and turned around, but before he took two steps, he was hit hard on the back of his head. He staggered for two steps before he regained his balance.

, turned around angrily, and saw Ron swinging his fist at him again with an angry look on his face.

Seeing this, Harry hurriedly took a step back, pulled out his wand and waved it towards Ron. In his desperation, he didn't even recite the spell. But the magic was successful, and Ron hung upside down in the air.

"Are you crazy?" Harry asked loudly.

"I won't allow you to insult her! You said she was a joke, it was a joke!" Ron's fists were still waving in the air, but hanging upside down, he looked like a clown.

"That's ridiculous! What did you hit..." Harry said, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a piece of chocolate on the ground, and he was suddenly shocked.

He ran over and picked up the chocolate, looked at it, and then rummaged through the open boxes under Ron's bed. Not long after, his eyes lit up, he grabbed a purple box and rushed to Ron's eyes, asking: "Chocolate

Is it from this box?”

"Yes, this is my birthday present!"

"You idiot!" Harry yelled back, "Don't you understand? This isn't your birthday present, it's mine! It was a Christmas present from Romilda Vanney, laced with a love potion.

!”

"Romilda? Do you know her, Harry? Can you introduce me to her?" Ron's mood suddenly stabilized, and his eyes widened and he stared at Harry.

Harry looked at Ron's face, which was turning purple due to congestion in his brain, and then he had an idea.

"Okay, I'll introduce you." With that, he put Ron down.

Ron fell hard to the ground, and there was a sound of the door. It looked like he had fallen hard, but he didn't seem to feel anything. He jumped up immediately, with a smile on his face.

"Where is she, Harry?"

"In Professor Slughorn's office." Harry said, leading him towards the door.

"Professor Slughorn's office? Why is she there?"

"Potions, Ron." Harry mumbled and opened the door to the dormitory, but what he didn't expect was that Lavender was waiting at the door of the dormitory, with a face full of anticipation.

"Luoluo, you're out!" She said happily to Ron, but Ron looked impatient.

He reached out and pushed Lavender aside and said, "Go away! Harry is going to introduce me to Romilda Vanney!"

Lavender was furious, but Ron walked straight towards the portrait hole. Harry wanted to say something more, but because he was worried about Ron, he didn't say it. He made an apologetic look at Lavender and chased after her.

past.

He didn't take the angry Lavender to heart, Hermione was right next to him.

"How could he do this!" Lavender stamped his feet angrily, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Don't worry, there's something wrong with Ron..." Hermione comforted, "It seems like he's been under some kind of magic..."

"Ah? Will Luo Luo be okay?" Lavender immediately asked worriedly after hearing this.

"It should be fine... let's go and take a look!"

Happy National Day!
