October ended in a stormy season, and November came, cold as frozen iron, and every morning was a layer of frost, and the icy wind cut the hands and cheeks. The sky and the ceiling of the Great Hall turned a pale blue-gray, the mountains around Hogwarts wore snow caps, the temperature in the castle dropped so much, and many students wore thick dragonskin gloves during breaks in the hallways between classes.

"Why do wizards like to hold Quidditch matches at this time? It's cold enough on the ground, and it's going to be even worse if you're in the air. Hermione rubbed her hands together and grumbled as she walked towards the Quidditch pitch. Today was Gryffindor's first game, but Ron's nervous performance at the table was a bit unsettling.

After taking a seat on the table next to the Quidditch pitch, Ryan grabbed Hermione's hand and covered it with his own. At this time, Ginny also sat next to Hermione, with an unhappy look on her face.

"What's the matter, Ginny? Hermione asked enthusiastically.

"Don't mention it, my brother is a shame. Seeing that some friends were willing to listen, Ginny immediately vented her unhappiness. "I hugged Harry and Ron in the auditorium, Harry looked scrappy, and my brother was a little embarrassed that his hands were cold and even a little shivering. ”

"Maybe it's just a little too nervous for the first time. Ryan reassured. "When you get on the pitch, you might be able to get used to that environment. ”

The game begins, and Slytherin goes straight to singing that Weasley is our king. It was clear that the song was extremely lethal for a nervous Ron, as Warrington managed to break through the seemingly scrambled Ron's interception in his first attack, and the Quaffle flew under his armpit and straight through the goal ring in the middle of the man.

After conceding four goals in a row, Angelina finally pulled one back. But the more the game looked up, the worse it became, and it wasn't until Harry finally caught the Golden Snitch that the first match ended in a Gryffindor victory. Of course, at the end of the game, Crabbe hit Harry in the back with a Bludger. Once again, it perfectly reflects the quality of this group of purebloods.

Later, after Malfoy insulted Weasley's mother, Harry, the Twins, and Malfoy got into a fight until Mrs. Hodge separated them.

"These purebloods are just—" Hermione scolded the twins and Harry directly in the common room after learning what Malfoy had said on the field and that Umbridge and Fudge had issued Education Order Twenty-Five, which gave them the supreme authority over all punishments, sanctions, and disenfranchisements involving Hogwarts students, and the right to modify such punishments, sanctions, and disenfranchisements imposed by other teachers. I don't know if he's scolding the pure-blood families behind the Ministry of Magic or the Slytherins.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you here. After scolding, Hermione saw Ginny standing beside her.

"I understand that the pure-bloods in Slytherin say our family is a disgrace to pure-bloods all day long. But what they did was really ruining the reputation of the pure-blood family. Ginny also seemed angry at what the Slytherin men had done.

"It's not fair," said Arya, shaking her head, "what about Crabbe hitting a Bludger after the whistle? Did she ban him?"

"No," came out of Ginny's teeth, "he was only punished to write sentences, which I heard Monty laugh at dinner." That pesky toad. ”

"Fred was banned for not even making a move!" said Arya, pounding her knees and hating herself. "It's not fair. ”

"It's not my fault that I didn't do it," Fred's face was very ugly, "and if you three don't stop me, I'll beat that little brute to pulp." ”

Finally, because today's events put everyone in a bad mood, everyone in the common room went back to bed early. Only Ryan and Hermione were left sitting in front of the fireplace with Harry.

"There is a saying in my hometown, where good fortune and misfortune lie, and misfortune and good fortune depend. After reading this sentence in Chinese, Lane explained: "This was put forward by a great philosopher more than 2,000 years ago, meaning that under certain conditions, good things and bad things can be transformed into each other. You're a little unlucky right now, but these bad luck can't stay with you forever. ”

"Thank you for the comfort, I won't be so vulnerable. Harry patted Ryan on the shoulder. "By the way, I haven't seen Ron all afternoon, where has he been?"

"I think he's avoiding us," Hermione said, "he's on the field today—" Just then, there was a creaking sound behind them, the fat lady spun forward, and Ron crawled in through the portrait hole. His face was very pale and he had snowflakes on his head. I was stunned when I saw the three people sitting by the fire.

After some inquiry, they learned that Ron had gone for a walk as soon as the game was over and had not returned until now. And as soon as he saw Ryan, he yelled that he wanted to quit the team, because today's game hit him too hard. Especially when Ron found out what happened when he left the ring today, that sense of self-blame was even worse.

Fortunately, Harry noticed that the lights were on again in Hagrid's hut, so he took Ron to Hagrid. Ryan and Hermione stayed in the common room to make plans for the next book club.

It wasn't until late that Harry returned and told Ryan and Hermione Hagrid about their failure to contact the giants.

"It must be bad. Ryan said after hearing about the giant.

"Indeed, the giant's magical defense is high, probably second only to the dragon. And they are not low in fighting, they are a very difficult opponent to deal with, and I heard Sirius say that Voldemort used giants in the last war-"

"That's not the problem. Ryan held up a hand to stop Hermione from continuing, "Those giants were responsible for multiple massacres of Muggles in the last war. To make matters worse, under the banner of Principal Dumbledore's forgiveness, many giants with many lives in their hands escaped the trial and lived freely outside. ”

"Is that the case?" Hermione looked at Ryan with her hands over her mouth and a surprised look, "But, but I see that there is no such thing in the information!"

"This is what Dumbledore did. Ryan lowered his voice and said, "Because Dumbledore said that it was our fault that there were so few giants left now, that the wizards had driven them far away, and that they had no choice but to stay together in order to survive, and as a result, they killed each other a lot." So the headmaster was against killing the last of the giants of England. ”

"So, what about the Muggles that were killed? what did they do wrong?" asked Hermione, puzzled.

"They didn't do anything wrong, it's a pity that they lacked strength, so in the eyes of wizards they were just a tiny number. The corners of Ryan's mouth turned up slightly. "In the eyes of some wizards, dead Muggles may be far less important than these endangered magical creatures. Even these magical creatures are brutal giants to wizards, and he can even spare the giant criminals who caused the massacre in England—"

"Well, no more. Harry interrupted Ryan's speech. "It's getting late, everyone should rest. ”

Ryan knew that Harry, as a believer in Dumbledore, recognized everything about Dumbledore and could not quite accept Ryan's accusations against Dumbledore. However, Dumbledore had been hiding a lot from him before, and his inner judgment about basic good and evil made it impossible for him to refute what Ryan said. In this case, he could only interrupt Ryan in a blunt way.

"Okay, good night then. After saying goodnight to each other, they went to bed. But lying in bed, Ryan thinks about the massacre caused by giants in the West during the summer vacation at the end of the fifth grade in the original book, and decides what to do.

Thinking of this, he quickly wrote a letter to the staff of the Weasley Joke Shop, and placed it in the envelope after confirming that there were no mistakes. Prepare to mail it out on the next Hogsmeade Day.
