Chapter 315 Return of the property to its original owner

There's not much to say about Ron's pet rat Scabbers. Apart from being relatively lively, he looks the same as other pet rats. He's fat and old and doesn't have any special appeal at all.

The mouse was not Ron's pet at first. Ron inherited it from his brothers, just like his old robes and old textbooks.

Ron couldn't figure out why Crookshanks chased Scabbers. Even if it was a cat's nature to catch mice, Crookshanks' obsession with Scabbers could no longer be explained by nature.

Not to mention Ron, even Percy, the head boy of the student union, couldn't understand this.

I think back then, when Scabbers was still in Percy's hands, Galleon carried out the first round of pursuit of Scabbers. If cats and mice can be explained by nature, what about Galleon? A dog stalks a mouse, meddling in its own business?

Under the "negotiation" of Percy, the elder brother, Ada had to restrain Garen's nosy behavior, which allowed Scabbers to survive for a few years. Now it's Ron's turn. As the younger brother, he doesn't have that much energy. Whether it's Ada or Hermione, he can't handle either of them.

This was very painful for Banban, who had to face the overwhelming pursuit and interception of Crookshanks and Garon at the same time.

Since the beginning of the summer vacation, the mouse's life seems to be coming to an end. It has become listless and looks like it will die at any time. But Banban has persevered tenaciously until now, and has neither been defeated by time nor become a meal for his natural enemy.

The rat life of Banban is a little too inspirational. Biboran is simply a miracle of life and a model of rats!

In order to prevent his pets from being eaten, Ron also took great pains. Not only did he have a big fight with Hermione, but he also wandered around the common room chasing cats or chasing dogs.

With the help of his dear owner, Banban's life was extended and he successfully survived until December, when the rat's life reached another peak.

The joint war between cats and dogs was ruthlessly suppressed, and Banban was able to survive and continue to enjoy the rest of his life. But that's all Ron can do, and for Ron, Hogsmeade is much more attractive than a smelly rat.

Nothing major had happened at Hogwarts since the Dementors stormed the Quidditch pitch seeking their lives and Dumbledore got angry.

The dementors did not cross the line again and stayed at their posts in Hogsmeade; Sirius Black seemed to have disappeared from the world and was not seen by anyone again; even when Harry was discharged from the hospital, Draco Malfoy didn't even laugh at Harry's performance on the field.

There is no gossip to talk about and no excitement to watch. Campus life is just endless and boring study. Finally, with the eager anticipation of the students, they ushered in the spice of boring life-Hogsmeade weekend.

Students can take advantage of this trip to Hogsmeade to relax and buy their favorite holiday gifts for the upcoming Christmas. Students who are stressed out can also have a few drinks to adjust themselves so that they don't have to worry about anything. Crying means making trouble.

When everyone woke up on Saturday morning, they found that the sky that had been gloomy for two months suddenly cleared up and turned into a bright and dazzling opal color. Everyone was smiling and talking excitedly about their upcoming trip to Hogsmeade, except for the unlucky Harry.

Harry, wrapped in a cloak and scarf, once again transformed into a watchman's stone, standing blankly at the gate of the castle. The snowflakes falling outside the castle were all Harry's crystal tears.

Probably as good fortune and misfortune never come singly, Harry saw Ada again. It was miserable enough not being able to go to Hogsmeade, but he didn't want to be hurt by his big sister again, so he walked past quickly with his head lowered, without even saying hello.

Ada sniffed hard. She was sure that she didn't smell bad, but why was Harry hiding from her? She didn't know how to check Harry's homework, so why did she run so fast?

You can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade. This sentence is equally valid at Hogwarts. Harry escaped Ada, who was good at stabbing people's hearts, but he didn't escape Fred and George's double ghosts knocking on the door.

Harry collided with the twins, and before he could react, he found his feet dangling in the air. By the time Harry realized what was happening, he had been dragged into an empty classroom.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked cautiously, "Why didn't you go to Hogsmeade?" If he could, he wanted to shout: Brother and sister, please let me go!

The twins did not immediately return to Harry's question, but only began to speak after seeing Ada lock the classroom door.

Fred said nonchalantly: "Hogsmeade, we got tired of going there in our second year."

A man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry. The place Ada and the twins went to was not something they wanted to go to again, but it was the place Harry dreamed of. If he can't beat him, Harry must let these two people know that he is no dough!

"I've known you for so long, but we haven't given you any decent gifts, Harry." George also didn't get straight to the point, but said this in line with the decoration style of the castle in recent days.

Harry was a little confused by this sentence. He didn't know what the twins wanted to express. The Christmas gifts must have been given too early!

"The two of them have prepared Christmas gifts for you in advance." Ada said standing at the door.

Because she helped Harry practice the Patronus Charm, Ada had seen Harry's confused expression many times recently. To be honest, she was tired of seeing it.

In addition to the extremely difficult Patronus Charm, Ada also taught Harry several simple and practical spells to improve Harry's self-protection ability. Every time Ada performed the spell, Harry would put on a shocked face.

It's the same Hogwarts, the same Gryffindor, and even the teachers are the same people, but why are there such big differences between people?

Could it be that Ada secretly made up lessons outside? Is there still a chance to sign up? Give it to me too.

Fred turned pale as Ida did, seeming to blame her for being too talkative. Fred said mysteriously: "Before we leave, let's get you into some festive mood and tell you what the world of older children is like!"

If she hadn't known what the twins were going to do, Ada would have had some strange associations with this sentence. After all, the twins began to study the profound question of "how did humans come into this world" when they were in second grade.

Thirteen-year-old Harry is still very innocent, maybe he is really innocent, maybe he is pretending to be innocent. His face only shows interest in gifts and no other messy things.

After seeing the twins take out an old piece of parchment, Harry was confused again. The expression on his face was exactly the same as Ada's before, asking: What is this?

"Don't show such a familiar expression." George patted the parchment lovingly, "This is no ordinary parchment, it is the secret of our success!"

"I really hate to give it to you," Fred said, "but obviously, you need it more than we do now!"

Confused, confused, and puzzled, Harry really didn't realize how special this parchment was, which the twins regarded as a treasure. Harry asked confusedly: "But why do I need an old piece of parchment?"

"An old piece of parchment!" Fred closed his eyes and made a face, as if he was deeply hurt by Harry's words. "Explain it, George."

"That's right... When we were in first grade, Harry... was young and carefree, in just two words - youthful..."

Soon, George explained the origin of the parchment to Harry, including how they obtained it, how they discovered the secrets it concealed, and how he achieved success through it.

"You're trying to tease me," Harry said, staring at the worn piece of parchment.

"Oh, Harry, that's the smartest thing you've said in almost a month."

Ada's words floated softly across the room and into Harry's ears. Harry scratched his hair sheepishly, making his already bad hairstyle even worse.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." George tapped the parchment with his wand.

In an instant, the old parchment underwent earth-shaking changes. Thin lines of ink continued to spread, and everything about Hogwarts appeared on the paper.
