Hermione's words seemed to pierce something, and although both Harry and Draco immediately refuted, Hermione clearly felt that Harry's rebuttal was untenable.

And people say that a woman's intuition is very accurate, although she has not grown up yet, her identity as a woman will not change, how can Draco not understand Harry's specialness, and this specialness is different from Harry's brothers, it is indeed like the feeling between Mr. McCroft and Greg.

Loki didn't say anything over there, Harry had to take care of it himself, this layer of window paper wasn't something that any brother could break at will.

Ron returned to Hogwarts like a ghost, Draco's defiant smile and the atmosphere between them gave him the feeling that he would never be able to get in, but he didn't want to let Draco get away with it, Draco was telling him that it was really a very good thing that he and Harry had a falling out.

It can only be said that Ron finally got a little smarter, and understood the meaning that Draco was trying to express, but he didn't think of the deep meaning behind him.

Draco didn't care who Harry's friends were, as long as the well water didn't interfere with the river water, like he and Hermione? Granger, like a Muggle witch, had to admit that Hermione was not much better than many pure-blood ladies he knew, and that she was also very intelligent, so she could still do it.

Because Ron went back to school early, Ginny happily went to play with her friends, so she didn't want to pay attention to Ron, who was messing with herself over there, like a girl, not like her brother at all.

Back in the castle, Ron happened to meet Arthur and Merlin.

This is the opportunity that Arthur has been waiting for, you must know that although Harry and they gradually acquiesced to let Merlin talk to Arthur, but did not agree to play together, this time while all of Merlin's brothers went to Hogsmeade, Arthur finally found time to come out with Merlin.

Merlin actually likes to play with Arthur, it should be said that Arthur is the most relaxed person he gets along with except for his brothers, compared to those classmates who are a little afraid of him, Arthur seems to be really like he said, is his soul mate, even if the two of them look at each other and smile, Merlin can feel happy.

When the two of them met Ron, Arthur was going to secretly drag Merlin to play near the Forbidden Forest, Arthur was originally a bold person who liked to explore, plus Merlin was there and he was also protected by ancient magic, so even if he went to the most dangerous Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts, there would be nothing wrong.

Who knew that before he could leave, Merlin and Ron would meet.

Although he doesn't get involved in these things with his brothers, he likes to lie on the bed/listen to them, so he is well aware of the conflict between Harry and Ron, and he thinks that this time Ron did something wrong because he didn't believe Harry.

Isn't the first step between friends to trust each other?

Without trust, how can you still be a true friend?

"Ron? Mr. Weasley. ”

Merlin rarely calls a person that, and rarely talks to outsiders, but this time it was for Harry, he didn't want to see his brother who loved him look lonely, and Harry really cherished this friendship.

"Merlin ......"

Even though he had known that Harry's youngest child was the same name as the god they believed in, Ron still didn't like it, and he stared blankly at Merlin, who was standing not far from him, not knowing how such a conversation should go downward.

"Ron? Mr. Weasley didn't deserve to be Harry's friend. ”

Arthur stood behind Merlin and laughed, Merlin who looked smaller and amnesiac still had a lot of changes, so cute and childish words may be listened to at this time.

"Dad said that the most important thing between friends is trust."

Merlin didn't know what Ron's psychology was, he just didn't think Ron believed Harry.

"I ......"

Ron couldn't answer Merlin's words, because he couldn't tell Merlin that he was jealous of Harry, and that jealousy of his friends was more terrible than distrust.

"That's why Harry will always be in Slytherin now, I think Harry is much happier now, and the Lestrades won't admit friends like you, I think Harry only needs to have two good friends, Hermione and Draco."

Arthur tugged Merlin's hand behind him, didn't that say it too harshly, Ron? Weasley probably fell into a misunderstanding, which is why he had such a bad deal with Harry, and he also used Hermione and Draco to compare, which completely irritated Ron.

Ron yelled, "No, I'm Harry's friend!" ”

Previously, because of Draco's provocation, and Merlin's words just now, this time Ron was completely outbursting, he was Harry's friend, and always was. As the least valued child in the family, Ron actually longs for this kind of friendship, because in the eyes of Harry and Hermione, he is Ron, and there will be no comparison, let alone some neglect.

He was just a little jealous of Harry, jealous that Harry could be so special, and probably jealous that Harry was Harry.

He actually made some comparisons, comparing himself to Harry.

Don't look at the nine brothers in Harry's family, but their residence is indeed quite luxurious, and the family background is quite good, at least Harry will not use the leftovers of others since he was a child. And he liked the atmosphere of Lestrade's house, noisy but as a father, Greg? But Lestrade doesn't ignore every child, and he feels it when he celebrates Harry's birthday, Greg? Lestrade remembers every kid's favorite and disliked, and unlike his mother, he would always have canned corned beef in his sandwiches. There are many other things, in fact, Ron is just a little inferior, he is inferior to Harry in many ways, and even less than Hermione and Malfoy, whom he hates the most.

In addition to jealousy, there was actually Ron's inferiority complex at work in this quarrel, but after being stimulated like this, he suddenly abandoned it all, and only remembered that he wanted to be Harry's friend.

Merlin was taken aback by Ron, and he habitually took a step back, while Arthur secretly helped him from behind, worried that the man would accidentally sit on the ground.

"You're Harry's friend, but you didn't speak for Harry this time! Don't trust Harry yet! ”

"I didn't, I just-"

Ron stopped as he said this, he glanced at Merlin and then turned and ran, he almost said the words.

Merlin frowned at Ron who ran away inexplicably, and he poked Arthur beside him with his hand and said, "What's wrong with him?" Am I saying it too harshly? Obviously, Harry and Hannibal both said that I was the least venomous one in the family. ”

Arthur was poked in the heart sweetly, and he said to Merlin righteously: "I think he probably ran away because he was ashamed of himself." ”

Arthur was tempted to say that Merlin was not venomous, but ...... The child's words are unscrupulous, and they are even more hurtful.

"Let's go, didn't you say you were going to play in the Forbidden Forest? I've heard them say that Hagrid is no longer here today, so I guess I'll be able to find something interesting. ”

Merlin's eyes lit up when he heard Arthur's words, nodded vigorously to keep up with Arthur's pace, and looked at Merlin walking beside him with his spare eyes, Arthur had a feeling of returning to when he was still in Camelot, Merlin also often walked beside him, oh, after all, he was a personal valet, wasn't he.

The Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is home to a lot of magical creatures, and with the exception of the more intelligent centaurs, the rest of the creatures are degraded variants of ancient creatures. As it happens, Arthur and Merlin met the centaur when they went to play in the Forbidden Forest.

The centaurs have always considered the Forbidden Forest their territory, and they are xenophobic and dangerous, they cannot belong to animals or humans, they can only be classified as magical creatures. Centaurs are creatures that can read the heavens, and their predictions have always been very accurate.

The centaurs frowned at the two little wizards surrounded by them, they have always maintained a friendly attitude with Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest is their territory, and Hogwarts has always asked the students not to let them come near here, on the one hand, there are many dangerous magical creatures here, and on the other hand, it is because of the centaurs.

Arthur didn't expect that there would be such a creature here, he and Merlin had dealt with many magical creatures at the time, but there was no centaur in it. Because Arthur didn't know what kind of strength the centaurs were, he secretly pulled Merlin behind him to protect him.

"Two little wizards?"

The horses circled around them, as if they were interested in them, Arthur frowned, he actually regretted that he had taken Merlin on an expedition, if he was an adult with the sword of the king in his hand, he would not care about such a situation.

"Who are you?"

Merlin doesn't think these centaurs are dangerous, probably because he has seen many magical creatures, from ancient dragons to unicorns, he has built more magical creatures than he has documented, and has encountered more troubles and dangers, so such centaurs who don't have too many attacks* are actually not dangerous at all in his opinion.

"You have broken into our territory and asked who we are?"

The man who spoke was a little helpless, this was the most justified intruder he had ever seen.

"We're just here to explore."

Arthur protected Merlin even tighter, and this man had the audacity to negotiate with the centaurs.

Merlin's sudden approach made Merlin jump, and he was about to pout, but he straightened his back, "If this is your territory, you should mark this place with something to prevent anyone else from entering." ”

Merlin is also spoiled, and he dares to say anything when he is at home, and there will be no brothers who are really angry with him, right, if he is outside, who dares to touch Merlin, not to mention Merlin's own magic, it is enough to just say that their brothers who protect their family.

"What's your name, little ghost."

The reason why the centaurs suddenly appeared at this time was because they saw something in the sky, a bright star appeared in their eyes, this star represented a powerful wizard who had come to the wizarding world, and they divined that today they could meet a great man.

"Merlin, my name is Merlin."

The name Merlin is actually like a kind of magic, not like Voldemort that many people dare not mention, Merlin's name has represented a power since birth. This kind of power may not be felt by ordinary wizards, but a magical creature like the centaurs who are closer to the ancient religion are more sensitive than wizards, and can sense the kind of magic that belongs to the ancient religion when Merlin says his name.

The magic of the ancient religion has always existed as if it were a legend, after all, all the druids have been hidden, and they have not even participated in the previous two major wars of the wizarding world, as if they do not exist in the wizarding world, or that they have nothing to do with them.

Merlin, the horses look at the little guy standing there, you look at me, I look at you.

In their prophecy they were going to meet a great man today, and this little boy was obviously a first-year Slytherin student, and his appearance was at the same time as the bright star rose, so ...... It is very likely that the person mentioned in the prophecy is this Merlin.

Merlin, who bears the same name as their god with the magic of the Ancient Cult.

In fact, there is a rumor that Merlin is immortal, he has always existed in this world, but they can't find out who it is, and some people say that Merlin has always lived with the druids and is not setting foot in their world, but who will this person with powerful ancient magic be now?

The horses didn't dare to make a judgment, but they changed their previous attitude, they believed in the prophecy, maybe the two little wizards who suddenly broke into their territory were not a coincidence, but a destiny from heaven.

For the first time, the centaurs let go of their pride and let Merlin and Arthur climb on their backs.

Arthur looked at the happy Merlin over there and shook his head helplessly, Boss, in fact, he doesn't need to worry about anything, does it, Merlin can save the day every time.

He suddenly thought that when Merlin was still his personal valet, he would often say how many times he had saved himself, and now that he thought about himself who took Merlin's words as a joke at that time, he was actually a little stupid.

"Eremoth."

I don't know why Merlin suddenly agreed when he heard the name.

"This is your name, you have to remember, Eremoth."

Merlin didn't quite understand why Arthur called himself Eremos, but the name was as familiar as it was when he saw Arthur, as if it was etched in his mind, and it belonged to him as much as Merlin, the only name he remembered.

"Okay, I remember."

Merlin may not know that magical creatures like the centaurs who want to get closer to the ancient religion can be regarded as obedient to Merlin, and maybe the people in the wizarding world will forget Merlin after all, but they won't, and it is their lifelong pursuit to pursue ancient magic and chase Merlin's footprints.

Later, during the Third World War, Merlin, who had become the real Great/Mage, used these magical creatures, because he knew that these magical magical creatures were more uncertain than wizards, and no one knew how far they could reach.

Harry and the others met Hagrid at the Three Broomsticks Bar, and Hagrid saw Harry whispering a message to him after greeting him warmly, telling Harry to come to him at twelve o'clock tonight in the cloak of invisibility, saying that there was something important to tell Harry.

Harry nodded, Hagrid rarely approached him, since he suddenly said something important.

However, Harry was living in Slytherin at the time, and it was not convenient to go out at midnight, and if Professor Snape knew about his score estimate for this year, he would be deducted, so Harry decided to return to Gryffindor for the time being after discussing it with his brothers.

At this time, Harry did not know about Merlin and Arthur's expedition to the Forbidden Forest, because Merlin was so tight-lipped about it.

Back in Gryffindor's bedroom, Harry looked at Ron sitting there and sighed, he wouldn't budge on this matter, because he wanted to know if their friendship was important to Ron's heart.

Ron didn't expect Harry to return to the dormitory that night, he watched in a daze as Harry opened his mouth and couldn't utter a word, Harry returned to his bedside, he pulled back the curtain and sat on the edge of the bed. He was waiting for Ron to speak, and if Ron had spoken, their friendship would have continued like this.

Ron rubbed his cheeks vigorously, Merlin's words and Draco's movements alternating in his mind.

"Harry......"

Harry heard Ron call his name, he looked up at Ron and gave a nonchalant hum. Ron clenched his fists, he wouldn't let Draco get his way, his relationship with Harry would still want to take advantage of Harry's reputation, he wouldn't push Harry to a vampire.

"I'm sorry, Harry, I just want to say I'm sorry for all the distrust I had in you."

Harry looked at Ron running over and didn't know what to say, but finally he laughed and apologized. Isn't that finally heard?

Ron was a little anxious to see that Harry hadn't spoken, he had indeed said those sour words before, but he had never thought that he would really break off his friendship with Harry, weren't the two of them best friends?

"Harry, I was a little jealous, for many reasons you wouldn't want to hear it, but I'm sure you're not going to do anything to put your name in the Goblet of Fire."

Harry looked at Ron, who was anxious to argue, and nodded, "I see, Ron. ”

Hermione also said that Ron was just jealous, and that he had always believed in himself. Harry didn't quite understand what his jealousy was for, but he knew that Ron meant what he was saying, and that he really wanted to be reconciled with himself, otherwise he wouldn't have said the word jealousy.

Ron just stared at Harry like that, as if he wanted Harry to say something, probably because Harry had never met a friend of Ron's type, so he laughed all at once, "I forgive you, Ron, or I've been waiting for your apology." ”

If he was to forgive, he had forgiven a long time ago, and he was just waiting for Ron's belated apology.

Harry had also thought that if Ron didn't choose to trust himself, then he would assume that he trusted the wrong person, and now it seems that he didn't choose the wrong friend, did he?

Harry and Ron were talking and laughing, and Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was really gratifying that he had resolved his conflict with Ron before the first game began.

The first game actually involved dragons.

That's why Hagrid secretly called Harry over, because their first game turned out to be a dragon fight.

Harry saw Charlie? Weasley, Ron's older brother who had been in Bulgaria to take care of the dragon, didn't notice Harry's unexpected visit, but talked to Hagrid about Harry's game, and he mentioned Mrs. Weasley, who was said to be crying when she heard that Harry was going to participate in such a dangerous game.

Harry, who was hiding in the bushes, sighed secretly, was he so distrustful? Although he is not old enough, he promises that he will not lose to anyone when it comes to magic.

This time it wasn't just Harry who came to see the dragon, Hagrid also invited Madame Maxim to join him, and Harry also spotted Karkaroff who was secretly hiding, and it seemed that all four of them would know what the key words of the first game were before the game.

Harry was going to sell the news to Cedric as a favor, and he had Hagrid's help in the news, and Cedric would not have known the news until before the game had not been for his blow-off.

Four dragons means that each person may face one.

Harry wasn't afraid of the dragons, but it would take a lot of effort to deal with them.

Cedric's face turned a little pale when he learned the news, dragons are not such simple creatures, few people can defeat a dragon alone with magic, no matter what their project is, facing the dragon is in vain.

He also knew that Harry was selling himself a favor, and he had chosen to believe that Harry still seemed to be making some money now.

"Thank you, Harry, and don't hesitate to open up if you need it."

Harry got a promise to come to Cedric, which might be useful in the future.

"Good luck, Cedric."

"You too, Harry." 166 Reading Network
