Chapter 142 This scolding did not go away after all

The next day, auditorium.

Many students were whispering. Under the envious and jealous eyes of others, Harry and Ron sat proudly but embarrassedly on the long table and prepared to enjoy today's breakfast.

They escaped last night, although Professor Snape desperately hoped that they would be punished as they deserved, such as being expelled.

But Harry and Ron were from Gryffindor House after all, and Professor McGonagall didn't want to expel them because of this incident. In addition, Dumbledore was interceding on the side, so the two were just punished with solitary confinement, and no points were deducted.

And many people think that being able to drive to school in a flying car is a very cool thing. After the incident spread, the two unexpectedly gained a group of fans.

"Look at how arrogant they are. People who don't know it think they saved the wizarding world!" Draco said angrily at the Slytherin table.

"It's just that they look glamorous now." Aaron sighed, "The fame they enjoy at the moment can't even compare to their false fame, and everyone will forget about it in a few days."

“I know, but I just feel unconvinced.

Harry Potter seems to attract everyone's attention no matter what he does, even if it's wrong. "

“It’s true that they did something wrong, but the punishment they suffered was not that great.

In fact, I spotted them on the train yesterday and even gave them some food. "

Draco was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Abe who was finishing the herring on the table, as if he had figured something out.

"So you went out yesterday because of... both of them?"

"Otherwise? Do you really think driving is easy?" Aaron smiled pointedly, "Ron drove for more than eight hours. There was not much food in the car, and the sun's rays heated up the car. It has risen a lot. It can be said that I am tired, hot, thirsty and hungry. Those who can persevere are brave.

And do you think this matter will go away so easily?

Don't forget, they published it in the newspaper, and Mr. Arthur Weasley is from the Ministry of Magic. "

"Oh I got it."

Draco's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to clear as he thought of the tragic situation the two of them had endured in the car and the belated punishment they would face next.

"But how did you find them on the train?"

"Um...it was an accident."

Draco didn't ask any more questions, looked at Harry and Ron disdainfully, and started eating breakfast on his own.

Aaron shrugged, piled his half-eaten food in front of Abe, and then walked towards the Gryffindor table.

"You two look very happy!

Accidentally became famous. "

"It's not bad!" Harry said with a slightly proud smile, "It's just that Ron's loss is a little bit bigger."

"It's a heavy loss."

Ron reluctantly took out his wand. This old wand was only barely usable, but now it is on the verge of being eliminated.

One-third of the stick body was almost completely broken. Although it was tightly wrapped with tape, even so, the wood fragments could still be vaguely seen.

Aaron glanced at him sympathetically, "It's amazing. No one would want this wand even if it was given away for free. You actually want to turn decay into magic."

"Can it be fixed?" Ron asked earnestly.

"Ha!" Aaron shook his head, "Listen to my advice, you'd better change to a wand.

Believe me, even if you give this thing to Ollivander, it won't be repairable. "

Hearing this, Ron looked bitter, "Then I'm done."

He didn't have the money to buy a wand, so he decided to settle for the next best thing.

But now it seems that there is no possibility of repair. Aaron is Ollivander's grandnephew, and his words are more valuable than ordinary people.

"Good morning!" Hermione came over with a book in her arms. She first greeted Aaron with a smile, and then glared at Harry and Ron displeased.

The two immediately lowered their heads with guilt, knowing that Hermione was dissatisfied with the way they returned to school.

"Aaron, are you busy this holiday?" Hermione asked nervously.

"It's been quite busy, the kind of busy you can't even imagine."

"No wonder." Hermione nodded thoughtfully, "I just said that I wrote you several letters but you didn't reply to me. When I went to Diagon Alley, your clerk also said that you weren't here."

Aaron smiled awkwardly but politely, "Sorry, I didn't want to either, but the tutor is really too strict."

"That's right, Aaron was forced to run away from home." Harry interjected.

"Run away from home?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Aaron, "What happened?"

"This is all in the past, and it probably won't happen again." Aaron said with a guilty conscience. He didn't even believe it himself.

It is estimated that after this school year ends, he will still be forced to learn those courses until he truly becomes a teacher.

"Is it really okay?" Hermione still didn't believe it.

"It's really okay.

Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about these two. "

"Us?" Harry pointed at himself and couldn't help but swallowed, "Should we be okay?

There was a reason for driving back to school, Professor McGonagall had punished us, and Principal Dumbledore also said that the underage wizard law would not hold us accountable.

In other words, the story has turned over. "

Ron nodded vigorously on the side. He had already lost a wand and a car. If this wasn't over yet, his little heart really couldn't bear it.

"You have avoided the laws and school rules, but..."

Before he finished speaking, an owl flew in from outside.

This owl is Errol of the Weasley family. Among owls, he belongs to the old, weak, sick and disabled category. It is difficult for him to fly so far away.

"coming."

Aaron murmured, then pulled Hermione up from her seat.

The next moment, Errol crashed against the dining table and fell right into Hermione's plate, sending milk and feathers everywhere.

"Ron." Hermione's mouth twitched, "Your owl really needs to be replaced."

"I thought so too! This bird is really stupid." Ron picked up Errol and saw a wet envelope in his mouth, and his face fell instantly.

"Oh no!"

"Howling letter." Aaron said gloatingly, "I can see that Mrs. Weasley is really angry, otherwise she wouldn't have sent you such a letter in public."

"What is a howler letter?" Harry asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You'll know soon."

Ron was nervous and his hands were shaking unconsciously, but looking at the envelope that was already smoking, he mustered up the courage to tear it open.

The red envelope and the letter inside were folded into the shape of a mouth, and Mrs. Weasley's angry roar came from inside, the volume many times louder than usual.

"Ron Weasley, how dare you steal a car without permission?"

"I'm so mad."

"Your father is now under investigation by the Ministry of Magic. This is all your fault."

"If you dare to cause trouble again, we will take you back immediately."

After saying that, the red envelope burned and turned into ashes in an instant.

However, those who were close felt their ears were still buzzing, and Ron slumped down on his chair, unable to recover.

Harry also looked at him blankly. He was also involved in the car incident, but Ron seemed to be the only one who was scolded.

"The thing you were most worried about has happened." Aaron shook his head and said, "You still haven't escaped from this scolding.

But you two don't deserve sympathy. If I must judge... you deserve it. "

Harry and Ron turned to look at him in unison, these two words really made them feel heartbroken.

It was so embarrassing this time. The first day of school was so exciting that the two of them felt so guilty that they couldn't even eat.

"This is a good thing." Hermione murmured, "You have been punished appropriately, and this matter has completely passed. You don't need to worry anymore."

"It's hard to say." Aaron curled his lips, "I'm not being alarmist, their ability to cause trouble..."

Hearing this, Hermione felt a little unconfident. After all, they had proven their ability in this area last year.

"Oh! Let nature take its course!"

Hermione opened a thick book and read to herself at the dining table.

"Traveling with a Vampire"

Aaron looked at the cover of the book and couldn't help complaining: "When did you fall in love with this kind of book?"

"This is a textbook!" Hermione said with some surprise, "Don't you know?"

"What?" Aaron was stunned for a moment and looked at the content of the book carefully. "The content is substantial, the colors are bright, and the text is fluent, but the most important thing is the portrayal of the protagonist Gilderoy Lockhart, who is witty, humorous, and powerful. Kind and kind, full of wisdom..."

After reading two chapters, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, "I admit that this book is quite good, but..."

"Right!" Hermione simply ignored the two words, "Of course this book is good. It sold like crazy when it was sold at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. It is estimated that the sales volume will be in the top ten in the wizarding world."

"No, I want to say that this book has something to do with what we want to learn?

There is no magic spell or knowledge in this book. Rather than saying it is a textbook, it is more like someone’s autobiography. But if it is an autobiography, then I really admire him. "

"This is an autobiography." Hermione said with some pride. "Everything in it is true. The protagonist of this book is our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
