Chapter 144 142. Brotherly Conflict

"He did better in the final exam this time. Not only the main courses, but also many elective courses received the highest evaluation. It is because of this performance that he got the position of student male president in his last year of this year."

Ron did not seem to be very happy for Percy. Instead, he was full of disgust.

"He is really too arrogant. He has not even become the president of the school yet, but he has declared at home that George, Fred, me and Ginny have to listen to him. It's ridiculous that my mother still speaks in his favor and regards him as a pride."

Neville comforted him as always.

"Senior Weasley is indeed excellent. He has the best grades among the seniors and has always been the most disciplined student. If he is not the male student president this year, no one else will be qualified."

"Of course I know this." Ron said dissatisfiedly, "I don't deny that he is indeed excellent, but his temper is really annoying. I guess when he becomes the student president in the future, everyone will have to listen to him!"

At this moment, an abrupt and somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded from behind Ron.

"Am I so unbearable in your heart, Ron?"

At the dining table, the second-year students were stunned, and then they all pretended to eat the food in front of them as if nothing had happened, but they were secretly looking at the boy behind Ron who also had red hair, glasses, and a dark face.

When Ron heard this voice, he couldn't help but shudder, but he soon calmed down and turned to look at his third brother.

"I'm just telling the truth, Percy!" He didn't show any sign of retreat on his face. Originally, he had the least respect for this brother in the family, although the others might not be the same.

Percy, who had the badge of the male president on his chest, looked so ugly that the whole second-year table fell silent. Everyone felt uncomfortable under his gloomy gaze.

Hermione unconsciously leaned towards Jon's seat; Hanton seemed to be studying whether the pattern on his plate was exquisite; Neville wanted to speak to ease the atmosphere, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say; Lavender and Justin both lowered their heads and tried to pretend that they didn't exist in the face of such an embarrassing scene.

The atmosphere on their side even attracted the attention of students at other tables. The two brothers George and Fred, who were sitting in the nearby seats, looked over here.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Percy didn't let the situation continue to stalemate. His face was still very bad, but he just left a light sentence.

"Then we'll see."

Then he turned around and left the restaurant alone.

After he left, the atmosphere at the second-grade table gradually returned to normal. Neville sighed and persuaded Ron.

"You should have apologized to him just now. Saying this will embarrass him. After all, he is the male president after the school starts."

"You haven't seen what he looks like at home." Ron looked very angry. He said loudly, "He always thinks that others should listen to him and thinks he is better than others, but I only see his stupidity!"

Neville didn't say anything else. After all, although this is in Hogwarts, it is also a Weasley family affair.

Jon has been watching this scene silently beside him. He didn't say anything to persuade him. He was already very clear about Percy's attitude towards him before, so Jon naturally didn't take the initiative to jump out and get involved in these things.

He didn't think it was a big deal. Originally, the younger children of the Weasley family didn't like their brother who had excellent grades, because he was too eager for power and followed the rules to the extreme, which made people feel uncomfortable to get along with him.

After dinner, Jon did not go back to the dormitory directly, but came to the office of Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who came to the carriage this year.

Remus Lupin is a very good defense professor.

He only started teaching in the carriage in early March this year, but he is well-liked by students. At least his teaching level is not worse than Slughorn, and he is easy-going. He will help students solve any difficulties they encounter.

When Jon just returned to the carriage from the castle, he learned from Dumbledore that the reason why he was able to successfully rescue Hermione and other students from the castle was largely because Lupin and Sirius Black, who had infiltrated Azkaban, jointly organized a prison escape plan to attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic.

They stayed there for three years, delivering wands to the members of the Order of the Phoenix imprisoned on this prison island, trying to help them reduce the influence of Dementors, and teaching them the Patronus Charm. Finally, they chose to start the prison escape at noon on Thursday, which Dumbledore had determined for Jon.

Lupin and his men's actions attracted the attention of most of Voldemort's Death Eaters, including Snape and Barty the Younger in Hogwarts, who all went to reinforce.

Dumbledore had no way to give John more help, so he could only send Kingsley and McGonagall to help, because Moody had to take other members of the Order of the Phoenix to assist in the Azkaban prison escape plan.

In the end, without any communication between Azkaban Island and Hogwarts Castle, the prison escape was successful at the same time through Dumbledore's arrangement and dispatch.

Jon knew that the children he and Hermione rescued from the castle were indirectly helped by Lupin and his friends, so he took some free time in the first few days after returning to the carriage to take more than a dozen students who escaped from the castle, including Hermione, to Lupin to thank him.

Lupin received them gently, without any professorial airs, and gave each of them a magic book on Defense Against the Dark Arts, which made Henton and his friends, who had not yet recovered from the contempt and indifference of the professors in the castle, have a sharp increase in their favorability towards the professor.

In the remaining courses of the second year, Lupin admired Jon's talent in magic and gave him a lot of guidance in private.

However, his identity as a werewolf has not been announced yet, although most of the students on the carriage probably don't care much about his identity. After all, in the current magic world, the status of "mudbloods" is not much better than that of werewolves.

But perhaps because of Lupin's own consideration, he asked those who knew about this matter to keep it secret.

Every full moon, he would get off the carriage alone, find a quiet place to drink the wolfsbane potion prepared by Lily, wait for the transformation to end, and then return the next day.

After the summer vacation began, he did not organize any interest clubs, but at Jon's request, he taught him some knowledge about the Patronus Charm.

In the evening, there was
