Chapter 173 Inexplicable Fire

Ron dragged his tired body back to the common room.

Professor McGonagall threatened him that if he dared to skip class openly again, she would turn him into a statue and place it next to the desk. She would untie him after class.

Ron shuddered at the thought that he might be turned into solid stone.

"They're all that annoying guy." Ron muttered, "Do you think you can attract other people's attention with a little cleverness? Humph."

Thinking that Hermione only had a few friends, Ron smiled brightly, "So what if she is good at studies? So what if she is popular with the professor? It's not like she doesn't have a few friends."

Ron hummed a tune in a good mood, completely unaware that he actually didn't have many friends.

I was lucky today. I didn't meet Peeves along the way, and even the annoying Filch didn't show up. Ron felt that he must be favored by Merlin!

His good mood only lasted until he ducked into the common room.

"...This spell looks pretty good." It was Fred or George, Ron could never tell them apart.

But what are they doing, what spell?

"Indeed." This voice was very familiar, it was the guy named Robert, but why was he here?

Ron was a little unhappy.

He didn't like this guy, in every sense of the word.

Maybe it's because they all have names starting with "RO", maybe because he is a little more handsome than me, maybe because he doesn't have red hair, maybe because he is smarter than me.

But hate is hate, there is no reason.

Just as annoying as his twin brother.

Just as he was thinking this, Zhu Weiqiong flew to his shoulder and rubbed against him, trying to ask for some nuts.

Ron quickly dug into his pocket and found a few almonds at the bottom of his pocket.

Zhu Weiqiong finished eating the almonds, screamed twice with satisfaction, and flew away again.

Well, actually the twins weren't that annoying, so he was just as annoying as Percy.

At this moment, he remembered that he still had the course notes that Percy lent him on his bed.

Ron scratched his head irritably.

He felt that he could no longer find any reason to hate these brothers who always loved to make fun of him.

fair enough.

Ron frowned, one annoying guy was enough.

"This spell is quite practical." Percy's voice sounded, "Maybe you can sell it as a product?"

"I do have this idea." Robert nodded, "If the trial effect is good, we will consider selling it."

Fred chuckled, "Hurry up and sell it, Robert. This way we will have one more joke product."

Robert said angrily, "What a wonderful idea! I think you are deliberately trying to embarrass me!"

Several people were chatting and laughing, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

Ron also saw his good friend Harry sitting with them, smiling and seemed very interested in their chat.

Hermione sat between Robert and Percy. She was lying on the table writing homework, and occasionally asked them questions with her notebook.

"..." Inexplicably, Ron felt like an abandoned child.

You are not worried about me when you are being scolded by Professor McGonagall alone?

As Harry was talking, he felt like someone was looking at him. When he turned around, he saw his little friend, "Ron! Are you back? I brought you dinner!"

The twins turned around, and Fred opened his arms and shouted, "Life again!"

George was like a mirror, spreading his arms like him and shouting, "The King is back!"

I have no idea what they are shouting about.

Percy frowned, "Ron, I heard what Harry said, how could you leave suddenly in class? Even if it was Professor Quirrell, although he might not be used to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, after all, he used to be He teaches Muggle Studies, but he has great expertise in dealing with dangerous magical creatures. You should respect him!"

His words were a bit harsh, which made the twins put away their playful expressions.

"Indeed," Fred said. "He's the professor when it comes to class, anyway."

"Although he is full of nonsense." George said seriously.

Ron's face was filled with embarrassment and anger, and his ears were all red.

Hermione felt the surroundings suddenly quieten down. She was stunned and raised her head, a little confused. Why were everyone looking towards the exit of the common room?

Then, as if she remembered something, she turned around and saw Ron standing at the door.

The little girl smiled and said, "Ron, are you back? Harry and I brought you dinner! You were called away by Professor McGonagall and you didn't eat dinner. You must be starving, right?"

"Shut up! You freak!" Ron shouted in a loud voice. Fortunately, it was a bit late now and there were only a few of them in the common room, otherwise it would definitely attract other people's attention.

Hermione's smile froze on her face, "Wha, what?"

The twins and Percy both frowned, as if they wanted to reprimand him, and Harry was sweating profusely, as if he wanted to say something.

However, before they could move, Ron had already shouted out, "If it weren't for you, would Harry have asked me such shameful questions? If it weren't for you, would I have been left behind by Professor McGonagall? You... …”

Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck, and something hard and cold was pressing against it.

Ron opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Go on, I really want to hear why your punishment has something to do with our little Hermione." Robert looked at him with a smile, "Of course, if you can't give me a convincing reason, I won't let you. Are you convinced, what do you think of this statement?”

Ron's face instantly turned pale, and his brain finally cooled down, but he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong. It was because of that. If it wasn't for discussing that freak, how could he have screamed out in surprise, and how could he have left the classroom out of shame and anger? , and finally got scolded by Professor McGonagall all night, and now he has to be held in his neck!

He didn't dare to speak anymore, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The common room fell silent.

Seeing that the boy seemed to have regained his senses, Robert stopped scaring him and put away the things in his hands.

"Robert." Percy was a little dissatisfied, "You scared him."

Robert threw the thing to him, "Don't worry, it's unopened. Do you think I would use the real thing in school?"

Percy took a look and saw that it was indeed just an iron block with some blade shape. He muttered "I can't say for sure" in a low voice and handed the thing back to Robert.

"Besides." Robert glanced at Ron with contempt, "Although he is a wizard, he still needs to have basic gentlemanly manners. Insulting a witch for no reason is not something worthy of praise."
