Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Price of Stupidity
When Ron woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, a place he was familiar with, as he had lived here when he had been petrified by the basilisk last semester, it was the school's infirmary, and the flaxen-colored sheets and the smell of herbs made him understand in an instant, and he began to think back to the last thing that happened before he fell unconscious.

"Hiss....." he couldn't help but howl, the wound on his shoulder seemed to have only now reached his perceptual nerves, in the wizarding society, there should not be a habit of using anesthetic, even if it was used, it should be timed by now, not only the shoulders and arms, Ron found that his head was also bandaged with a piece of gauze, covering most of his fiery red hair, and there was a tingling sensation from time to time.
"Ron, are you awake?" said Harry, who was sitting next to him, in surprise.
"Thank you. Ron said, then looked out the window and saw that it was already completely dark.
"How long have I been dizzy?" he asked.
"It's been almost half a day. Harry replied.
"Really?" he tried to sit up, but found that his hands were completely weak.
"You'd better lie down first, Madam Pomfrey said you'll have to take care of it for at least a month before you're fully recovered. It was Hermione's cold voice, "Don't get me wrong. Hermione stood behind him and added, "I just feel a little sorry that my prophecy is working, and now that you're awake, then I should go." ”
"Goodbye, Weasley-san. Hermione's voice was still cold.
"Wait. Ron's voice was a little weak, and he said, "I'm sorry. ”
"I believe it was just an accident, you're actually a student without an aura. Ron's words almost stirred up Hermione's fire again.
"I didn't take the prophecy class either, in fact, I didn't believe it, and she said that I would definitely have good luck today. Ron, lying on the hospital bed, let out a heavy sigh.
"I apologize for my previous gaffes. Ron said sincerely.
It was Hermione's spell that saved Ron when he was most desperate, and he wasn't that ignorant, and he actually regretted it when he said that hurtful word yesterday.
It's really bad to make a girl cry, especially when she doesn't actually have any reason.
As a result, Hermione helped him regardless of his previous suspicions, and he felt that if he didn't know what to do, he would look down on him.
In essence, he is still a good boy.
"I accept your apology. Hermione took a deep breath and said slowly.
They are friends after all, isn't it normal to be tolerant of friends?
But if the cracks appear again and again and are patched, will they really be traceless as usual?
Hermione didn't say anything, but she really felt that sometimes he was too naïve.
In the face of big rights and wrongs, such as the Philosopher's Stone in the first year, and the compound decoction in the second year, she is willing to accompany Ron and Harry on the adventure and break the school rules together, because she knows that there are more important things in the rules.
But more often than not, she struggled with the stupidity and impulsiveness of the two of them, Harry was sometimes fine, Ron was really hopeless at times.
Today's accident can be said to be his own fault.
"Well, in order for you to be mentally prepared to accept it, here are three not-so-good news for you," Hermione, who accepted the apology, softened her tone a lot, but her words were not at all pleasant.
"Hermione, don't talk about it, we need to give him a good rest. Harry's eyes darkened as if he had thought of something, but he tugged at the corner of Hermione's coat and told her to stop talking.
"If you make mistakes, you have to have the courage to take responsibility, and that's what Gryffindor really is. Hermione said, staring at Ron.
"Hmm. Ron nodded, he still didn't realize the serious consequences of today's accident.
"First, your parents already know that you are injured, I heard that you are very badly injured, Aunt Molly is almost about to come to see you, it was your father who stopped her, but I think they must be very worried about you, your twin brother and prefect brother also guarded you for almost an afternoon before leaving, these are the price your family paid for you, can you think more clearly when you take risks in the future?" Hermione persuaded him with some seriousness, hoping that Ron would think twice about it in the future.
Compared to the injuries he suffered in the first year because of the chessboard battle, it was a sacrifice, but this time it was just a joke.
"Hmm. Ron buried his head in shame, remorse spreading through his heart.
Hermione's tone was much better when he realized his mistake, but the next words made him even more uncomfortable.
"Second, Hagrid could be fired. Hermione then said with some seriousness.
"No!" Ron looked incredulous, "It's all my fault this time, it has nothing to do with Hagrid, I'm getting carried away!" he shouted, trying to take the blame on himself, but it was clear that it didn't help.
"It's just possible. Hermione's brow furrowed, and she didn't feel good at Ron's guilt-guilty look, but when she remembered that it was his own naivety that caused all this, she didn't want to comfort him anymore, she felt that this time she had to make him remember it longer.
"Harry, what to do, let's go and tell Professor Dumbledore to deduct my points and don't fire Hagrid. Ron knew how hard Hagrid's opportunity was, and now he might have ruined it.
"Hmm—" Harry just nodded perfunctorily, he didn't think it would be so easy to solve.
"What's the last thing?" Ron asked, a little frightened, he didn't think that he was a victim and that he had caused more trouble to others, and that last point he didn't want to implicate anyone anyway.
"It's only about you. Hermione sighed and looked at Ron with a complicated expression, "Harry, tell him to speak, I have to go to the library now." After saying that, Hermione walked to the door of the ward without looking back, and Hermione was relieved to see Ron wake up, and now she should get back on track with her studies.
The world doesn't revolve around one person.
"Harry, what's the matter?" Ron asked in a panic as he grabbed Harry with his remaining intact arm.
Harry hesitated for a moment before he could make his words clear.
When Ron heard this, his face turned white, and then turned red, like a red-hot iron skewer that had been burned by fire for a long time. His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, and he struggled to get up from the bed, but he lay down weakly because of his injuries.
His only intact right hand clenched into a fist, perhaps the only way he could express his indignation now.
"Why is this happening!" Ron let out a terrible roar on the bed, unable to accept the fact.
