Chapter 316 Opening Dinner

Harry didn't think Ron had led him astray.

He also likes to have fun. Even if Ron really leads him wrong, Ron is much more important than grades and other people's opinions.

Ron is a bit unobjective, but this is because he has been ignored and has no positive feedback of being praised for his hard work. He can only relieve his loneliness by entertaining himself.

Ron was good at wizard chess in the first grade because he had no real friends to talk to and needed those little chess pieces to interact with him.

Ron stopped playing wizard chess later because he had real friends.

He was the same person as Ron. He also had no friends because of Dudley, so he could only pass the time in the cupboard under the stairs looking at the spiders spinning their webs.

When the two of them met, they were two equally lonely souls touching each other.

He understood that Ginny's words were not wrong.

But it wasn't Ginny's place to say that.

He shouldn't be the favored Weasley kid, his girlfriend said.

In short, he was prepared to have a cold war with Ginny for a while.

"Why is Harry like this!" Hermione said after hearing everything Bargeer relayed. "Ginny has sacrificed so much for him, and he is just for Ron? Can he and Ron really be together?"

"This is because Ginny was too mean to Ron." Bargeer shrugged. "Perhaps unknowingly, she became angry with her brother because of Ron. Ginny may have realized this now."

"Give them both some time, at least they will be able to reconcile before the third trial."

The next trial starts on September 24th.

There are still 23 days until that day.

"Really?" Hermione shook her head, "I don't believe it."

Bagir couldn't help but rub his eyes and mentally recalled Hermione's expression just now, Damn, bass! ?

"What are you doing~" Hermione looked at Bajir who moved his butt half back in surprise. Why didn't he stick up?

Are you tired of me?

The sense of urgency drove her to be bolder, and her hand began to move towards Bajir's 'magic wand'. Her long fingers began to play a symphony.

Bargeer wanted to create a coincidence in advance, so that Ginny and Harry could reconcile before getting off the bus, and forget all about being angry with Hermione.

"Don't worry, wait for me to add a few more spells."

"Don't tear it."

"Well, well, well, well"

"We've arrived at the station." Bagir stood up.

The spell cards for internal cleansing spells, healing spells, repair spells, and fragrance spells flashed by.

Everything in the carriage returned to the layout an hour ago.

But Hermione was still subconsciously arranging her hair and wiping her mouth.

After seeing the stockings that had been restored to their original state, I realized what had happened.

But even so, on the way to the carriage pulled by the Thestrals, Hermione still lowered her head subconsciously. She always felt that the people around her were looking at her with scrutiny, and there were some traces or breaths on her body that were exposed.

Bajir also joked from time to time whether he should hide in the box - the ocelot princess's one.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage that Hermione gasped and slumped down on the seat.

After a while, she remembered the trouble of finding the culprit, and then attacked with a small fist, "You just got into the box!"

These weak words and fists did not cause Bajir to have any negative reaction, but instead made him prepare to use the steel tail skill again as he was still unsatisfied.

"Merlin's beard! You still want it?" Hermione was shocked, retracted her fist, curled up into a ball, and backed away.

"Just let you go." Bajir said.

Hermione slapped her chest, not hearing the underlying meaning.

At this time, in the two carriages not far away, invisible magic light spread, and the time inside began to accelerate.

Pansy and Luna used All Protection, but All Protection failed, and their clothes were torn to pieces. They then used Retreat Three Feet, but the resistance failed. The Hufflepuff sword struck out, and their souls left their bodies. They were unable to get up again. Suffering from negative status: clear water like spring, loud voice.

"What a hearty magic duel." Bajir sighed as he got off the carriage.

Hermione, who still hadn't regained her strength after being helped, said, "Where is the duel?"

She thought there really was a duel, and she had already known that Bajir's senses were beyond ordinary people's. Because of this, she was not surprised when Bajir heard the movement outside the carriage through the isolation of the protective spell.

"In the woods." Bagir didn't lie. The carriage was indeed driving in the woods just now.

"Are there students secretly fighting beasts in the woods?" Hermione misunderstood.

But it can indeed be done. I sit in the auditorium and secretly release the summoned beasts to duel in the woods.

In fact, Hagrid has stopped many such incidents. Through his understanding of magical animals, he can determine whether it is a real battle between magical animals or a simple energy projection.

"Ah, yes." Bagir nodded.

He still didn't lie, Seamus and Neville's Acromantula were indeed dueling in the woods.

The origins of both of their Acromantulas are related to the Weasley brothers.

The two have been secretly doing smuggling business, sending their Acromantulas to the Forbidden Forest to trick relatives into coming out (the Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest are all descendants of Aragog).

Then resell it to the little wizard for 1 gold galleons each, which is cheaper than the venom of the Acromantula (a pint of 100 gold galleons).

As for why they don’t sell Venom, it’s because they have already done so.

Take advantage of it before the Acromantula venom depreciates.

Because of the existence of summoning cards, the by-products of magical animals that can be copied with magic power (venom, hair and other renewable ones) are beginning to be worthless.

Only the by-products of creatures like the Phoenix that have not yet been made into cards (the fact that Fleur made Fox into cards has not yet been exposed) are still valuable.

Overall, with the support of the endless supply of Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest, almost everyone in Gryffindor now has one.

The Weasley twins' business might even have expanded into Slytherin, if Hagrid's Aragog hadn't been put back to manage his own offspring and then discovered they were disappearing in droves.

Hermione also knew about this.

"Those spiders again."

Only the numerous and dark Acromantulas can fight openly and openly in the forest.

"Hagrid is too careless. The Acromantula is about to surpass the centaurs and become the first group in the Forbidden Forest, without the help of Fred and George."

"Yes," Bagir nodded, "but it's also tradition."

"It has always been a tradition for young wizards to bring magical animals to Hogwarts, and then leave them to breed in the forbidden forest."

"What?" Hermione was in disbelief.

"There is accurate evidence for this." Bagir answered. "Evidences such as early historical records and wood carvings and stone carvings show that before the Hogwarts Express existed, students at Hogwarts were accustomed to arriving in any way they found interesting. School."

“The ones riding brooms were a minority (it was a chore to carry suitcases this way).”

"There are almost no people who try to disapparate. After all, the castle and the campus are protected by anti-disapparation spells. Anyone who does this will end up very miserable."

"Using an enchanted hand-drawn cart or a horse-drawn carriage are both more demanding on financial resources."

"So riding various magical creatures is the choice of most students."

"And when they go to school, they leave them in the forbidden forest."

"The result is that they're proliferating in the woods?" Hermione asked.

"This is why there are so many magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest that obviously come from all over the world." Bajir pointed at a Thestral pulling a carriage towards them and said, "Well, it has been clearly confirmed that the students rode to Descendants of the school’s Thestrals.”

The Thestral stopped in front of the gate, and Harry took Ron's hand and jumped out of the carriage.

"Why don't you go in?" Harry asked the two of them after quietly letting go of Ron's hand.

"You know," Baljir shrugged, "I'm a Hufflepuff and Hermione is a Gryffindor."

"At the opening dinner, we still have to sit according to the college."

"Rather than go in and separate, it's better to stay outside for a while."

"Are you and Ginny still having trouble?" Hermione noticed that Ginny walked straight into the castle without waiting for Harry and Ron.

Harry muttered, "She said bad things about Ron."

"Bad words about Rowan?" Hermione followed Badir's example and pretended to have heard wrongly.

"It's my bad words." Ron stood up.

"What did she say about you?" Hermione asked. As a mutual friend of Harry and Ginny Ron, she hoped to play a positive role in the relationship between the three of them, which was like a messy ball of yarn.

"I'll do it." Harry protected Ron as if he were fragile porcelain, "she said."

"Ron is indeed playful." Hermione said it fairly, "It's just that Ginny shouldn't say this."

Ron nodded angrily, "She thinks she's her mother!"

Hermione changed the subject, "But Ron, too, how did you react when you found out that Harry and Ginny were together? Do you remember what you said and how you did it? What did you say about Ginny asking for your permission to fall in love? ”

"You both made the same mistake. You loved and cared about each other so much that you lost your sense of proportion."

"You too, Harry. Ginny scolds her when she scolds her."

"They are brother and sister. Wherever you need to intervene, just chase Ron back. It's not like Ginny doesn't know the truth behind what he said."

"If you didn't interfere, I'm afraid they would have reconciled now."

"I'm going to find Ginny." Harry said quickly, fearing that Hermione would continue to ramble.

Bagir also ended his stay in front of the gate for the same reason.

So the four of them hurried up the stone steps and entered the castle.

The foyer was lit red by torches and echoed with the sound of their four empty footsteps.

They walked across the stone-paved floor to the two doors on the right that led to the auditorium, where the opening banquet was held.

The auditorium was filled with six long academy tables, and there was a dark ceiling without stars, exactly like the sky outside they saw through the tall windows.

Candles floated above the dining table, illuminating the silvery ghosts dotting the auditorium and illuminating the excited faces of the students.

Almost all of them looked in Harry's direction.

Even if those students did not go back during the holidays, the same applies to the students who have been waiting in the auditorium.

They all heard what happened on the train.

Ginny's frosty face just walking into it was also good evidence.

Harry could only try to pretend that he didn't see it and didn't care, and walked towards Ginny.

Bajir left the three of them and sat at the Hufflepuff table.

Hermione pushed Harry, and he sat down heavily next to Ginny's empty seat. Ron occupied the other side, also pretending to be nonchalant.

"Ginny," said Harry.

Ginny snorted.

The students who were paying attention to this side began to talk and whisper to each other.

Seamus and Neville on the opposite side winked at each other.

Fred and George had already clenched their fists. If Harry was not nice to Ginny, they would teach Ron a lesson!

They couldn't teach Harry a lesson, so how could they not teach their brother a lesson?

Under the attention of the people around him, and even the students of Durmstrang on the other side, Harry took a deep breath, "I have no feelings other than friendship for Ron."

"But you are mean to me." Ginny's square cheeks trembled.

Harry hugged Ginny directly and kissed her deeply.

What he learned in the world of spell cards is that actions are sometimes more useful than words.

He did this every time Draco made trouble.

Ginny did lose her ability to resist instantly.

Under the dual blessing of the wizard's charm and the physical and spiritual love for Harry, Ginny could not resist at all.

Her thin arms and legs could not break free from the bear hug of Harry, whose body had been transformed by magic.

She could only close her eyes and enjoy it.

Ron was about to say something to help Harry, and he was stunned. His heart was inexplicably sour.

But Lavender, who hugged him from behind, made him find himself, so he raised his head and kissed Lavender.

The whole hall was noisy in an instant.

Countless couples began to imitate Harry and Ginny.

Snape looked at Lily, he tried to touch her fingers, and then touched the air (heroes are just projections in the real world).

Dumbledore blocked Ariana's sight.

Hagrid took a sip of wine and rushed to Madame Maxime.

Professor McGonagall also took a sip of wine, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, perhaps thinking of her husband who died young, or the kiss with Hagrid at the ball.

Pansy and Luna glanced at Hermione, and then secretly with Basil

Hermione ran to the Hufflepuff table, drove away a group of witches who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to touch her, and prepared to stamp Basil's mouth to declare her sovereignty.

Fleur pulled Hermione away with the flash of fire, and put her mouth close to it.

"Attention!" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but knock on the cup, ending the excitement in the hall.

"The sorting ceremony is about to begin. I hope everyone can set an example in front of the freshmen, not..."

She didn't say the last word, but stood up and walked out of the hall quickly.

Hermione cast a sensitive look at Professor McGonagall's back.

She didn't notice that Fleur took advantage of her turning her head to sneak attack Basil.

Basil could only respond with "hard work" and "helplessness".

Who said he was a warrior? As an outsider wizard, he could only bear it silently.

Sometimes life is so cruel that you can only be forced to bear it.
