Chapter Twenty-Three: Halloween Boss: Trolls on
During the lesson, Ryan was surprised to find that Hermione, who was a standard good student, did not come to class. This made Ryan a little nervous, thinking about that troll, it was definitely not something that a first-year student could deal with.
Fortunately, probably because of the class, the Quirrell Voldemort complex couldn't pull away, and there was no way to release the troll. There is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside the castle.
Ryan asks his classmates about Hermione's whereabouts in the common room. Patil, a witch of Indian descent who is in the same grade, tells Ryan that she saw Hermione crying sadly in the women's restroom and that she would not be comforted by others.
After thanking Patil, Ryan ran downstairs, through the auditorium decorated with colorful Halloween decorations, and made a beeline for the public bathroom on the first floor.
At the bathroom door, Ryan stopped Angelina when he saw her coming out of it.
"Good afternoon, Sister Angelina. Did you see Hermione in there?"
"Hermione, is that the first-year girl from our house?" Angelina nodded, "she cried with the door locked in one of the cubicles. One of us tried to comfort her, but she refused. Are you her friend?"
"I think so, can you please help me get her out? ”
"Okay. Angelina smiled and turned and walked into the bathroom.
After a few minutes, Angelina came out with Hermione, her hair was a little messy, her eyes were red, and she sniffled from time to time.
"Friends are one of everyone's most important treasures, and I wish you all a pleasant conversation. Angelina-senpai waved at them and left.
After seeing the acquaintance, Hermione's tears began to roll in her eyes again.
Ryan quickly took out a napkin and handed it to Hermione: "It's okay, don't cry." Let's find a place to talk, it's not appropriate to stand in the hallway like this. With that, he pulled Hermione to the nearest empty classroom.
After all, although there are not many people at the door of the bathroom, there are always people coming and going, and it is always bad to be seen crying here.
Turning a corner to an empty classroom, Ryan opened the door and let Hermione go in. After that, I went in and found two chairs, wiped them with a napkin, and sat down facing each other (I don't know how to clean it).
After that, Ryan looked at Hermione, whose eyes were red and swollen, and didn't know what to say. After all, he has been a single dog in the womb for two lifetimes, and he really doesn't have much experience in coaxing girls.
The two of them stared at each other for a minute or two, perhaps discovering Ryan's embarrassment. The corners of Hermione's mouth curled upwards and she laughed.
This smile, the solemn atmosphere was also broken, and Ryan laughed inexplicably.
After a few minutes, the two men stopped laughing. Ryan finally gathered his thoughts, and he said to Hermione, "You don't need to feel so sad that it wasn't your fault. Weasley and Potter don't want to hurt people by nature, but sometimes they get emotional and do things without their brains. For example, the hurtful words that were said today, I believe they should not have said them intentionally. ”
"And what did I do wrong again, and they rejected me so much?" said Hermione, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes with a napkin, and looking up a little stubbornly.
"I actively speak up in every class and do my best to give the college extra points. But neither of them valued my efforts at all, and easily deducted the extra points. ”
Ryan made a gesture of pressing down with his hands: "Hermione, don't get excited, to be honest, the place where they deduct the most points is in Professor Snape's class, sometimes it's just that the professor is biased, and it's not entirely their fault." If you ignore the points deducted by Professor Snape. You will find that the level of their deduction is also the average of the whole school. ”
"Then why don't Gryffindor students seem to take the House Cup so seriously? Hermione said with some confusion. "A lot of my classmates will deduct some marks because of discipline or academics, and I will point out that they are wrong, but they don't care about these at all, and even hate me because I say them. ”
Hermione shook her head slightly, then continued, "The Sorting Hat wanted to send me to Ravenclaw, but I thought that the greatest White Wizard of the century, Headmaster Dumbledore, had graduated from Gryffindor, so I chose this place. Now think about it, is it that I don't fit into this college. ”
"No, of course not. Ryan's habit of comforting his little niece in his previous life was to reach out and touch Hermione's head, but Hermione glared back with her eyes.
"Actually, the Sorting Hat is a house according to the student's personality, and then taking into account the student's own wishes, and if you are sorted into Gryffindor, you must have a side that suits the house. ”
"The students who are sorted into Gryffindor, the Sorting Hat is about bravery, but I actually think it should be more accurate to say that they are emotionally emotional. Harry and Ron are the more typical kinds, so I say don't be angry with what they say, sometimes they really don't talk brainily, in fact you say everything right. ”
"If what I said is correct, why do I think everyone in the house rejects me a little?" asked Hermione, a little curious.
"It's simple, you're right, but there's something wrong with the way you express it. Ryan told all the things he had pondered in his previous life when he was reading novels.
"As far as I know, you've not been very good at communicating with people since you were in elementary school, so you're often kind to help people, but others see it as a kind of condescending instruction. I've heard of you since I was in elementary school, but it's often prefixed with arrogance. If it's a Ravenclaw listening to you, they'll know your true purpose after thinking about it privately, but you can't expect the habitually hot-blooded Gryffindor to think that much. ”
"Whether it's Harry Potter or Ron, they're inherently good people, but Harry's sudden transformation from a helpless orphan to a savior is likely to amplify his emotional side. And Ron, he has too many brothers, and he is the least valued one in the family, so it is understandable that he has some extremes in everything he does in this environment. ”
"So, the comments that come out of the mouth of an extreme person and an emotional person when they are emotional are not necessarily correct, and you don't need to take them to heart. ”
After an afternoon of persuasion, Hermione was finally relieved. She knows that she shouldn't torture herself with other people's mistakes, and she also knows what she needs to change in the future.
It was slowly getting dark, and Hermione adjusted her mind and stood up. She held out a hand: "Thank you for taking an afternoon to comfort me." I think you're my first friend at Hogwarts, right?"
Sure enough, they were just acquaintances before. Ryan stood up and reached out to take Hermione's hand, "That's right, we're friends. ”
