Chapter 598 Cracks in Friendship

"Is there something wrong with Ron? I saw something wasn't right about his face when we were in the Great Hall..." Harry asked worriedly.

Hermione didn't answer, but just told the two of them to go back to the dormitory and rest quickly. It was best to ignore Ron now. He would figure it out after a night's sleep.

Harry was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Ivan noticed something from Hermione's attitude, but he didn't care. He had too many things to consider recently and really didn't have time to enlighten Ron.

After bidding farewell to Hermione, the two of them returned to the dormitory.

Opening the door, Harry saw Ron lying on the bed fully clothed, with his back to them and his head covered with a pillow.

Ron was the only one in the entire dormitory, and Neville and the others were still in the lounge and had not returned.

"Ron, are you okay?" Harry felt a little strange, so he walked forward and shook him.

"I'm fine, Harry! I'm just a little uncomfortable, so I don't have time to celebrate with you..." Ron moved the pillow away from his head and smiled, which looked very forced.

"Celebrate, celebrate for what?" Harry frowned, feeling that something was wrong with Ron.

"Of course it's to celebrate that you all have become warriors!" Ron sat up, his tone a little serious. He looked at Ivan and then at Harry, and asked.

"Ivan was selected after taking out the Goblet of Fire and putting his name in it. What about you? Harry? How did you do it, using the invisibility cloak?"

"Ron! Do you think I put my name in that goblet like them?" Harry laughed in anger, and he gasped and explained angrily. "I made it very clear when I was in the auditorium that I didn't do that! And I've been staying with you for the past two days. You know I didn't have that chance!"

Ron ignored Harry's explanation and continued to speculate on his own.

"If you can't do it during the day, what about when you go to bed at night? Ivan went there in the second half of the night, maybe you went in the first half of the night? Or did you just go together?"

"You all have ways to become warriors. I'm just a little bit behind. I don't blame you for not being able to think of a way. Really! But you should at least tell me so that I can prepare to celebrate for you in advance..."

At this point, Ron's expression became a little depressed, and his voice became lower and lower, until it was so low that he couldn't hear clearly at all.

"Don't be stupid, Ron, why do you think so? Didn't Hermione tell you? This Triwizard Tournament is probably Voldemort's conspiracy. He must want me to die in that game! Still remember that A dream? I told you!" Harry was furious.

He originally thought that Ron, as one of his best friends, would support and believe in him like Ivan and Hermione did, but he did not expect that Ron would doubt him.

"Ah... the mysterious man..." Ron looked a little shaken, but dominated by the jealousy in his heart, he still insisted on his idea, and quickly found the loopholes in Harry's words, and the questions came like a barrage of questions. generally.

"But why would he do this? The mysterious man is not in the school, how can he guarantee that you will be selected? Moreover, Professor Dumbledore and the others were all there during the competition, and no one dared to do anything to you... Or Are you saying that the mysterious man just wants to watch you win the championship?"

"Are you crazy? Now someone is planning to kill me, and you are still making assumptions about these things. Do you have to wait until Voldemort kills me one day before you will believe it?" Harry felt that Ron was simply unreasonable.

"Yes! I'm crazy! I thought we were best friends! What happened? Each of you has a way to break through that line, but you keep hiding it from me and leaving me aside. You clearly know that I want it too. Become a warrior!" Ron shouted loudly, jealousy eroding his reason.

Ron couldn't help but think of the words Ivan asked him last night, and he became more sure of his thoughts.

He believed that Ivan must have needed a qualified helper in order to ensure victory in the Triwizard Tournament, so he approached him first and asked for his opinion.

After learning that he insisted on competing fairly with everyone, Ivan believed that this would pose a threat to his championship, so he finally chose Harry!

The more Ron thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, and he expressed his guess without reservation.

Harry was choked immediately. He didn't expect Ron to have such evil thoughts.

"I have to say, you have a very rich imagination, Ron... you should write a story book!" Ivan also said very speechlessly.

"But I guessed it right, didn't I?" Ron asked reluctantly.

"Let me tell you something you don't want to hear, Ron! I have never regarded Krum and Fleur as threats... There has been no suspense about the outcome of the Triwizard Cup since I entered the competition." Ivan was questioned endlessly by Ron. Feeling a little bored, after a pause, he continued to speak, without any mercy in his words.

"And you think too highly of yourself! With your level of magic, you can't help me at all. I told you that last night just out of curiosity."

Ron's face turned red, and his fists on the quilt clenched and unclenched.

What he disliked the most was Ivan's self-esteem and indifference to everything.

Whether it was the honor he longed for, or the people he admired and liked, Ivan dismissed them as if they were things that were within easy reach.

The more he came into contact with Ivan, the more awkward Ron became. He felt as small as dust in the soil, without any sense of existence.

Even if he brags about his adventures to others on weekdays, people will think that he is just lucky enough to get some light with Ivan and Harry!

"Yes, you are our Gryffindor hero. You are so amazing. You don't need anyone's help!" Ron became more and more angry as he thought about it. He said angrily and suddenly pulled the curtain over to cover his four-poster bed. , and put his head into the quilt.

Ron's attitude made Harry feel angry. He took two steps forward and wanted to pull Ron out of the quilt and explain clearly.

Ivan next to him stopped him in time.

"Forget it, Harry, let Ron think about it!" Ivan shook his head at Harry.

Combined with what happened in the original time and space, Ivan can probably understand why Ron suddenly became like this.

To put it bluntly, these years of life experience have developed his overly sensitive and overly inferior temperament. In addition, Ron always compares himself to Harry, the savior, and it is inevitable that his mentality will be unbalanced.

Not choosing the Warriors was just a breaking point, releasing the emotions that had been pent up.

But this is obviously not the reason why others must spoil him...
