Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1206: Ronnie the Fool

  Chapter 1208 Ronnie the Fool

   The four of them didn't spend much time before they arrived outside Professor Slughorn's office, and a hustle and bustle rushed towards them.

   It's bigger than any other professor's office, with emerald green, crimson, and gold drapery hanging from the ceiling and walls, giving the illusion of walking into a tent.

   Harry, who had just entered the office, was caught by Professor Slughorn and dragged to meet the other guests. Although Harry was tired of all this, he still did not show much emotional change.

   Looking at Harry's back, Luna turned to Hermione and said, "Harry doesn't seem to like this?"

   "I think Harry has a reason to do that, he's really changed a lot recently." Hermione also looked at Harry's back and said to herself, "Of course, I've changed a lot too, we They are all preparing for the changes that may occur in the future, and they are also prepared to face difficulties.”

   said, Hermione looked sideways at Ron, who was still looking around.

  "What's wrong?"

   Originally, Ron, who was curiously observing the Christmas ball scene, was stared at by Hermione a little unnaturally, so he turned his head and asked.

  "Nothing."

  Hermione looked away and changed the subject: "Let's find a place to sit down and have something to eat. Harry's side probably has to wait a while."

  The three of them grabbed something to eat on the table where the food was placed, and then squeezed towards the vacant seat in the corner of the office.

   "What were you trying to say?" Ron asked as he ate.

  Hermione glanced at Luna next to her, and said in a low voice, "You don't seem to have made up your mind."

  "Do you have a good consciousness?"

  Ron's expression was stunned, and the food in his mouth almost fell out. He obviously didn't understand the meaning of the words.

  "The consciousness of participating in this wizarding war."

  Hermione frowned at Ron as he put the pie back in his mouth, "I suggest you finish eating before talking."

  "Oh, sorry." Ron quickly wiped out the food, "You go on."

  "The last time I went home, it made me realize that this war was never child's play. Harry and I were both ready, how about you Ron?"

  "Me?"

   The expression on Ron's face froze again, and he didn't even think about how to answer Hermione's question.

   Of course he wanted to help Harry, but Hermione's so-called enlightenment, he really didn't think about it.

   "Hi, Ginny!" Luna greeted her friend happily.

   "What are you talking about?" Ginny came over.

  "Nothing!"

  Hermione looked sideways at Ginny and asked, "Why are you alone?"

   "Dean went to get a drink." Ginny waved to the boy on the other side.

  "Ron."

   Dean was a little surprised to see Ron here, but when he saw Hermione, he knew why Ron was here.

  "Give!"

  Andy handed the Butterbeer to Ginny and took the initiative to find a topic to avoid embarrassment: "I heard there was a vampire at the Christmas ball today."

   "Rufus Scrimgeour?" Luna asked, looking up.

   "The Minister of Magic is a vampire?" Several people looked at Luna in astonishment, feeling a bit absurd.

   "Yes, he's a vampire." Luna said with certainty, "My dad wrote a long article trying to expose this, but the ministry wouldn't let him publish it, and they obviously didn't want to reveal the truth. !”

   "Scrimgeour is not a vampire, but a real vampire, I saw it just now, Mr. Bloody over there is a vampire?" Harry appeared out of nowhere, interrupting Luna's absurd speech Afterwards, pointing to the dark circle not far away, a tired man introduced to the crowd.

  "Is that a vampire? Why do I feel like he's... hungry."

  Hermione looked at the guy who was rubbing against the girls, and always felt that the guy had bad intentions. Professor Slughorn was obviously not sensible to invite a vampire to the Christmas party.

  "We'd better stay away from him before the guy gets too hungry."

  "What is the situation with vampires, do they really live by sucking blood?"

  "Certainly not, I just saw that vampire eating pie."

   A familiar voice suddenly came from the side. Fred and George appeared out of nowhere and greeted everyone with a smile.

  "I feel like he might need a **** lollipop." George looked at the vampire and said regretfully, "It's a pity I didn't bring that."

  "Does that really work?"

   is of course useful. It is said that the **** lollipop is a candy specially developed for vampires by the Honey Duke candy store.

   "By the way, you guys actually received an invitation from Professor Slughorn?" Harry looked at the Weasley twins and asked his own doubts.

   "No, we just came to the dance in place of Albert." Fred shrugged and explained to everyone why the two were here.

  "Albert doesn't really like banquets," George added. "So here we are, he says we're famous now, too, and we're sure to be popular with Professor Slughorn."

   "What did Albert ask you to do?" Hermione asked.

   "Hermione!" George gave Hermione a thumbs up. "Albert let's invite Professor Slughorn to join us as our Potions Advisor."

   "Potion Consultant?" Everyone was stunned, obviously unable to understand what they were trying to do.

   "As you all know, many of our products contain potions, and although Albert is highly skilled in potions, he has been very busy and thinks we need a potions consultant to help with potions trouble." George did not intend to conceal the purpose of the two of them appearing here.

   "Like the Potions Advisor in the radio column?" Andy asked curiously.

   "Similar." Fred nodded.

   "However, it will be easier to be a consultant with us, because it is mainly to provide us with information and consultation. A job suitable for the elderly, suitable for those experienced professionals.”

   "Professor Slughorn agreed?" Ron also hoped to get such a job.

  "He said it still needs to be considered."

  Fred and George both cast idiots at Ron, "Albert said that Professor Slughorn could be allowed to think about it slowly, anyway, he would be in the school for too long, and he could consider retiring I'll make a name with us later."

   Of course, both Fred and George knew that Albert actually valued Professor Slughorn’s connections. Spending some money to support them would definitely come in handy in the future, and they would not lose money. After all, Slug Professor Horn himself is a powerful potion expert, who can save Albert a lot of trouble.

  The Christmas ball is still going on, Harry was harassed many times by Professor Slughorn during the period, and was taken to meet a large number of guests, and to meet famous people.

  Harry has no interest in this, he's a celebrity in his own right. He was now chatting with Fred and George huddled in the corner, talking about the Defense Association and their next plans.

  Harry felt that Albert would definitely make reasonable arrangements for the next change in the situation, but Fred and George seemed to know very little.

   "Harry, it's useless even if you ask us, Albert never reveals too much to us." George put the butterbeer in front of Harry and reminded kindly, "If I were you , you won't get yourself drunk."

   "Also, don't tell our useless brother some things, I saw him drinking several glasses of whisky tonight." Fred reminded slowly while eating pastries.

   "Little Ronnie is not very reliable and is easy to leak." George added.

  "I'm your brother!"

  Ron glared at Fred and George discontentedly, and made rude gestures at them.

   "Of course we know." Fred took a sip of his butterbeer and patted Ron on the shoulder unceremoniously. "We said that for your own good."

  "Don't touch me."

   "Look, you can't even control your emotions, you're just like a cute little fool, look at Hermione and Harry, they drank some butterbeer tonight, worried that they'd be talking nonsense when they were drunk. "

  Ron looked at Harry and Hermione, and was instantly speechless, not knowing what to say.

   "Ron just doesn't realize the seriousness of the problem." Harry argued for Ron calmly.

  "Is the problem serious?" Ron asked innocently, "I mean..."

  "This is not a good place to talk," Hermione interrupted. "I think we need to have a good chat about this and go to the Room of Requirement."

  "Then let's go first."

  Harry got up and took the lead and walked outside. He didn't like the Christmas party tonight, it was too noisy, and Harry didn't plan to dance on stage, it was really boring to sit here.

  "Wait for me."

  Ron drank the whisky in his glass in one breath and quickly got up to follow.

   The three went directly to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, during which they went to the bathroom to let Ron wash his face and wake up his head.

  "There seems to be someone in the Room of Requirement?"

  Harry frowned at the closed entrance to the Room of Requirement, moved to let Hermione try it again, still couldn't open it, apparently someone was using the Room of Requirement.

  “What to do?”

   "Go to the prefect's bathroom." Hermione gave up decisively and used a backup plan, "No one will use it under normal circumstances, and Harry has a map of the marauder, so be careful not to worry about being overheard by others."

  Harry agrees with Hermione's suggestion that when talking about some important things, it is best to find a safe place to avoid being eavesdropped, especially the news about Horcrux needs to be kept secret.

  "Harry, go."

  "come."

  Harry frowned and glanced at the entrance to the Room of Requirement, then turned and went with Hermione to the prefect's bathroom.

   After confirming through the Marauder Map that no one is in the prefect's bathroom. Ron couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on? What you just said was serious."

   "The situation in the future will get very bad, you should have heard about Albert's unpredictable future, it should be next year." After Hermione cast a few protective spells on the door of the prefect's bathroom, Continues: "We can't stay at school and wait for this war to end, especially after Dumbledore has given Harry a lesson, Harry may need to be tested next, and I..."

   "What the **** are you talking about?" Ron was still confused.

  "Dumbledore is probably dying."

  Harry uttered the frightening words calmly.

   "Although I don't want to slander Dumbledore, but in the current situation, his injury is more serious than expected, so I decided to tell me about the Horcrux and let me take over the task of destroying the Horcrux. "

  "May..."

   "We had a similar guess before, but now we think the possibility is very high, very high." Hermione motioned Ron to listen to her quietly, "Once Dumbledore's deterrence is lost, the British magic circle will The situation will soon erode, even Scrimgeour can do nothing, this is the deterrent of absolute strength, and Albert's prediction will be fulfilled by then."

   "I certainly wouldn't let Harry go alone," said Ron loudly.

   "But you're not ready yet, Ron," Hermione said softly.

   "What kind of mental preparation!" Ron felt inexplicably annoyed.

   "The mental preparation for death, you may suffer a lot, or even lose your life if you fail." When Harry said this, his tone was still calm, "I don't know what the future will hold, but I have let go. Everything is at risk of his own life."

   "Me too, Ron, we are all prioritizing defeating the Mysterious Man and preparing for it." Hermione nodded and said, "You should have noticed that, Fred and George are also doing it. Be mentally prepared, and you haven't, these things shouldn't have been told to you, but..."

  Ron slowly opened his mouth.

   "If you feel too much pressure, I can understand that everyone has their own choice." Harry reached out and patted Ron on the shoulder ~IndoMTL.com~ did not force anything.

  "Hermione, how about you?"

  Ron looked at Hermione in confusion, he couldn't understand why Hermione could do it to such an extent.

  "When my family nearly lost their lives to Mysterious Man, I realized when I sent them away that I didn't have many options."

  Hermione looked up at Ron and said calmly: "And, don't forget, we are all Harry's good friends, the Death Eaters must know this and won't let us off easily, we have to leave the UK Find a place to hide and live a life of fear, or help Harry take down Man-Know-Who and bring peace back to the wizarding world."

   "Now that my family has left the UK, I have no worries." Hermione whispered, "I believe in Harry, I believe in Albert, I believe they can completely end this **** nightmare, I don't want this Ron spends his life in fear, You-Know-Who hates Muggle wizards, Harry and I have no choice, but you can."

   "I won't bow my head like Voldemort." Ron's face paled slightly when he said about Voldemort, but he said in a very positive tone, "Everyone in our family is brave and mysterious except Percy, the traitor. People fight, I won't back down, never will. Tell me, what should I do."
