Chapter Ninety-Six: The Reappearance of the Imperius Curse

There was a lot of confusion, and no one understood what was going on.

They saw Ron with red eyes running over Aven, and the two of them fell to the ground scuffling together, punching and kicking each other.

"Stop, stop, Ron!" Hermione screamed, trying to go up and separate them.

Before Evan could react, he was punched hard in the stomach, he pressed his knee against Ron, and his right hand subconsciously touched the wand on his waist.

In the next second, a thick red light flashed, and Ron flew upside down.

His body slammed over the table and fell to the ground, struggling twice to get up and continue to lunge at Aven, but Fred and George hurriedly grabbed him.

"Ron, what are you doing to hit Aven?!" Fred said in surprise.

"yes, do you know what you're doing?!" said George.

Ron gasped and glared at Aven.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Ron dumbfounded, and the atmosphere in the common room was solemn.

Aven's clothes were disheveled, his right hand clutching his wand and pointing at Ron, his left hand gently patting Hermione on the shoulder, and Hermione stood beside him and sobbed quietly.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Percy walked through the crowd and glared at Ron, who looked like Mrs. Weasley, "Ron, I know you're sad to lose that mouse, but it wasn't Evan who killed Spotted. ”

"It's him, it's him," Ron shouted, "He's the one who told Hermione to buy the cat, and Spotted wouldn't have died without that damn cat." ”

"It wasn't Crookshank Hill that killed Spotted," Hermione defended weakly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Ron, you're crazy! for a mouse, you're just" Ginny whispered to Hermione, turning her head to look at Ron angrily.

"What a mouse, Spotted is my friend!" Ron interrupted Ginny, roaring angrily, "Spotted is dead, my best friend is dead, it was the two of them and that hateful cat who killed it, and you're protecting them all the time, hasn't anyone considered my feelings?!"

There was a deathly silence in the common room, with no sound other than Ron's roar.

"In fact, your rat isn't dead at all, and no one touches it. ”

Evan handed Hermione to Ginny, who walked briskly to the corner of the common room and pulled a struggling rat out of the gap and threw it to Ron.

Looking at the specks trembling in his arms, Ron fell silent suddenly.

He seemed to be choked, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, he couldn't explain it to others, Spotted was just a fuse, when he was angry and pounced on Aven, what he was thinking about was the image of Evan and Hermione holding hands and returning to the common room.

"Alright, Ron, the investigation is clear, and Spotted isn't dead at all. Percy said haughtily, "Hurry up and apologize to Evan and Hermione." ”

Hearing Percy's words, Ron was bored.

He gasped and stood in place, staring coldly at Evan and Hermione.

Reason told him that he should apologize, but there was a voice inside him that kept whispering that he didn't need to do this, why did he apologize, it was obviously their fault.

He suddenly remembered what Tom Riddle had said to him last year, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter, and his whole body trembled from the exertion of the past.

If he had a choice, he would rather pounce and fight Evan again.

"Say I'm sorry, Ron!" Ginny reminded anxiously and quietly.

Ron woke up suddenly, he saw everyone looking at him, he took a deep breath, and said vaguely, "Yes, I'm sorry!"

With that, he turned around and ran back to his dormitory.

Ron was alone in the dimly lit bedroom, lying on his four-poster bed, his head pressed hard under the pillow, tears streaming uncontrollably.

He must have been dazed just now, and he would actually yell at Hermione, and he would actually start hitting Evan

Ron couldn't tell why he was doing this, maybe it was too sad to lose the spot, maybe it was Tom Riddle's words from last year that worked again, or maybe the strange feeling of envy, jealousy, and unknown hatred that had appeared during the day was at work.

In short, the more he looked at Evan now, the more unpleasant it became.

Thinking of the way everyone had just defended Aven, Ron felt a strong sense of loneliness.

The others were fine, but there were Percy, Fred, George, and Ginny, all of whom were his family, and none of them were on their side.

And Hermione, Ron was distressed for a while, he had thought

Ron tried not to think about Hermione, he thought of Harry, his best friend, if Harry was here tonight, would he support himself?!

Ron hesitated, he was adamant that Harry would support him, but this was not against Malfoy, Harry and Evan had a very good relationship, and he would probably support Evan like everyone else.

He had already lost Hermione, and Ron was inexplicably irritated at the thought of losing Harry.

He'd always thought of Harry as his best friend, but did the other person think the same way?!

He is a famous savior, a Seeker for the Quidditch team of the house, and he is so good when he comes into contact with other people around him, and he is so mediocre, why should he be good friends with Harry?!

Perhaps, in Harry's eyes, he was just a follower.

"I'm a human being!" Ron muttered, "no one is going to support me, I'm a complete loser, and everyone looks down on me." ”

His body curled up in pain, and the next second, he felt something tremble in his jacket pocket, it was Spotted!

Ron wiped away his tears and got up to take Spotted out.

It looked frightened, its body trembling, and its little eyes filled with fear.

In fact, Peter Pettigrew was indeed frightened, and he went into hiding according to his plan, which certainly could not fool Sirius, but it could buy himself time.

However, the plan did not go well, and he took advantage of the fact that the whole school was out to watch a Quidditch match and searched Filch's office, but found nothing, and the map of the living point was not there.

When he graduated, the map was obviously confiscated by Filch, and the other party would definitely keep this thing, and it was impossible to throw it away at will. But after all, it was twenty years ago, and it was too long, and anything could happen in between.

Peter Pettigrew returns to the Gryffindor common room, where he has to redesign a plan to lure Sirius out so that the people inside the castle can discover him.

Since Sirius thinks he's by Ron's side, he'd better stay around and wait for his chance.

However, Peter Pettigrew did not expect that he would be found by Aven.

This can't be, how did he find out?!

When I hid in that crevice, there was no one in the common room.

It stands to reason that the boy could not have found himself.

Peter Pettigrew was scared, Evan must have mastered some method he didn't know, and if Sirius Black knew about it, it would be his own fate

"Spotted, now that you're the only one with me, you're definitely supporting me, aren't you?" Ron put Spotted on his pillow.

Hearing Ron's words, Peter Pettigrew, who was in deep thought, woke up suddenly, he felt that he had too many variables in his plan, he couldn't fight Sirius Black and Evan alone, he needed a helper, a helper hidden in the shadows.

"Those people treat me like a henchman, as a joke!" Ron said hatefully, his expression slightly hideous, "Those who look down on me, I will make them regret it, and I will make them pay." ”

"That's right, I'll help you!" a shrill man's voice suddenly rang out in the room, "I'll make those who look down on us pay." ”

"Out of body!"

An eerie light flashed, and the bedroom quickly returned to peace, leaving Ron alone on the bed silently with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of confusion and emptiness.
