Chapter 181 Ron's Blood on the Sheets
After the Christmas holidays, in the first week, the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Ravenclaw began under the attention of everyone.
Wright, who happened to be free and was pulled over by Harry and Ron to watch the game, was a little dazed when looking at the scene around him.
"Did I use the Time Turner too often? I'm experiencing déjà vu! It looks like Slytherin won this game!"
Wright muttered as he rubbed his eyes where the dark circles had not yet disappeared.
As expected, Slytherin won the match against Ravenclaw, but the score was very close.
On the way back after watching the game, Harry excitedly told Wright and Ron about Copwood's statement.
Slytherin's victory was a good thing for them. Next, as long as Gryffindor defeated Ravenclaw, they would be able to take second place.
Then defeat Slytherin, who had never played against Gryffindor.
If the score difference is big enough, it is still possible to lift the trophy this year.
……
In the Gryffindor common room, Hermione was sitting at a table in the corner with a pile of books in front of her, so much so that she was almost invisible.
Seeing Hermione working so hard, Ron, as the poor student friend of the top student, asked Harry a little anxiously: "She has to take so many classes!"
"I heard from others that she made a big splash in the Muggle Studies class, but at that time, she should have been taking the Care of Magical Creatures class with us."
"Oh! Yeah! That's right..." Harry, who was frantically catching up on his homework, casually responded to Ron who was chattering non-stop.
"Harry? You too? And Light too! They disappear after class every day."
Ron, who was constantly being treated perfunctorily, looked in grief at Harry who was making up his homework, and Wright who was constantly comparing the experimental records.
It was like all the friends who were always playing badly together suddenly started to work hard, leaving him alone in a daze.
"We have no choice. We have to defeat Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The team has been training like crazy during this period."
"I have to train five days a week, so I can only catch up on five days' worth of homework in these two days."
Seeing that Ron looked like he was about to break, Harry stopped doing his homework and explained helplessly.
After listening to Harry's explanation, Ron looked pitifully at Wright, whose dark circles under his eyes had not disappeared.
"Something's going on! After all, a 'great prophet' said that my life would stop, so I have to make some preparations."
Wright didn't look up, and didn't stop comparing the experimental records in his hands, and spoke vaguely.
"Then I'll go find Neville and Seamus!" Ron, feeling left out, said resentfully and walked back to the dormitory.
"okay!"
Both Light and Harry responded casually and continued with what they were doing.
Before Ron had walked for long, he heard screams of fear coming from the dormitory stairs.
"What's wrong? Are you calling?"
The moment Wright heard the voice, he looked towards the door leading to the dormitory, and Harry also looked up.
Frightened shouts and hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer in the lounge.
All the little wizards who heard the sound became inexplicably alert.
Ron rushed in with a bed sheet, ran to Hermione who stuck her head out out of curiosity, and shouted angrily: "Look, Hermione! Look..."
As he spoke, he kept shaking the bed sheet like a pervert.
"What are you looking at, Ron, what do you want me to look at?" Frightened Hermione took a few steps back and asked loudly in panic.
"Scabbers! Look, Scabbers!" Ron saw Hermione retreating and approached her with a ferocious look on his face.
Seeing that something was wrong, Harry hurriedly wanted to step forward to stop it.
But he found that on Ron's constantly shaking bed sheet, there were dots of red, which seemed to be...
"Blood!" Ron questioned Hermione in front of everyone around him, "It's dead, you should know that."
"I... don't know! This is... probably a misunderstanding..." Hermione tried to explain with a trembling voice.
"Misunderstanding? Is this a misunderstanding? I picked it up by the bed..." Ron threw a few long cat hairs directly on the desk where Hermione was doing her homework.
Seeing the cat hair on the table, Hermione came back to her senses and looked at Ron and said:
"That doesn't mean anything. The hair may have always been there, and you may have always been prejudiced against it."
Seeing the confrontation between the two, Wright felt a bit of a headache. It would be awkward for him to just go up and tell the truth. This was a problem caused by his laziness.
"But it seems that Pettigrew is still afraid! But why does Hermione trust the big orange Crookshanks so much?"
"Does she know that Crookshanks is very intelligent, and in some ways even comparable to humans?"
At this time, Harry, who felt he knew the truth, stepped forward and said to Hermione: "Hermione, maybe you should admit that your cat made a mistake!"
Hearing what Harry said, Hermione immediately got angry and looked at Harry and Ron angrily:
"You guys have always stood together. I should have known better. I repeat, my cat would never do such a thing."
"Now, all of you leave, I have things to do!"
The accident was interrupted by Hermione's furious attitude.
……
In recent days, Ron and Hermione stopped talking and returned to the state when the big orange cat attacked the mice on Christmas Day.
After losing the mouse, Ron seemed to have lost his soul and looked very sad.
Even George and Fred came running over to comfort him.
"It's okay, Ron! Didn't you say Scabbers is annoying? It's a good time to change pets now."
George cheerfully arranged an alternative plan for him, and then Fred continued: "You know it's going to die of old age anyway, and it's barely alive."
"So, you know, don't make it too painful."
After that, they took out a few bags of Honeydukes candy and handed them to Ron, comforting him like two good brothers.
"Haven't you finished eating yet?" Ron said as he took the candy with a greedy look on his face.
"No, we bought it specially after we heard you got mad about the mouse and your friends!"
George and Fred looked at each other and said in unison.
"But it's not the weekend!" Harry hesitated, a little afraid that they would be caught.
"Thanks to its help, we were able to find a secret passage and sneak out!"
"So! As long as we change our clothes, no one will know we are students."
When it came to their half-brother Harry, the Weasley twins took out the Marauder's Map without reservation.
Moreover, he did not hide anything about its usefulness and just said it directly with a smile.
"Can you show it to me?" Hearing about the Marauder's Map, Wright, who was sorting out research materials, also came over.
"Of course!" Fred, holding the map, handed it over directly.
