Chapter 1370: Good Brothers Night Talk
While Hermione was still presenting some of her ideas on Maca's side, Luna's and Delphi's "Chiffon Cake Cup" Wizarding Chess Tournament was over.
What about the final result...... Although it was Delphi who won that game, she gave the cake to Luna, who looked greedy, and this was a happy ending.
After that, everyone returned to their tents and fell asleep one after another with a sense of relief from stress.
Of course, in fact, there are always some people who are not suitable for using carnivals to forget their troubles, such as Ron, whose personality is very different from the past, and Harry, who has always insisted on himself.
"Harry, are you asleep?"
In the darkness of the tent, Ron rolled over and opened his eyes again. It seemed to be the sixth time he had turned over in ten minutes after the lights had been turned off, and the emptiness he felt after a lot of fuss made it difficult for him to sleep at all.
To be honest, if it were in the past, he would definitely have slept to death with a pillow on his head. But now......
Although Maca taught him to think, it also brought him more troubles, and whether this was a good change or not, no one can say.
At the same time, Harry on the other side also opened his eyes after Ron's words.
“…… Well? He replied softly, "No, I can't sleep." ”
"Then ......," Ron whispered, "will you go out with me to breathe?" It seems like it's been a long time since we've sat down and talked, and I'm worried about waking people up. ”
When Harry heard this, he immediately rolled over and sat up, and lifted the thin quilt.
"Okay! It just so happens that I want someone to talk to. ”
Originally, Harry wanted to talk to Ginny to see the starry sky, but who knew that Ginny had vented fiercely today, and she was so drunk that Hermione and Delphi had brought her back just now. Now Ron wanted to talk, and it was just right for Harry, who couldn't sleep either.
Not long after, the two of them crept out of the tent again and sat down on the old stump next to them.
By this time the campfire in the middle of the camp had almost gone out, and only the charcoal that had been burned was still shining with sparks in the stone circle. There are flowing clouds in the sky that quietly cover half of the bright moon, making the night between heaven and earth more and more intense.
Harry and Ron sat under the stars for a moment, and it was Ron who spoke first.
"Harry," he said nonchalantly, "can you tell us more about your experience fighting Neville outside?" You know, I'm afraid I'll never be with you, so at least I'd like to hear more...... In the future, if my children find out about these old things, I can at least brag to them that you are all my best friends. ”
Ron didn't know what kind of state of mind he was saying these words. Is it jealousy? Still unwilling? No, certainly not so superficial emotions.
And if I had to describe it in one word, Ron thought, it would probably be "helpless".
Now Ron, in fact, has already hidden these feelings in his heart. If it weren't for the emptiness of tonight's party, which almost overflowed the powerlessness, if it weren't for the fact that his best friend Harry was sitting there right now, he wouldn't have been able to speak.
Not far away, after hearing Ron's words, Harry couldn't help but be stunned, no matter how dull he was, he could still hear the loss and regret in the other party's words.
However, although he wanted to persuade his good buddy, what should he say?
Harry actually knew in his heart that there was a lot of luck in his current strength. Unlike Neville, he almost relied entirely on his own bravery and hard work to complete the transformation.
So......
"Ron, to be honest, I'd rather tell you Neville's story than my experience. Because...... Well, I don't mean anything else, I just think his experience should be more enlightening for you. ”
Neville summoned the story of the Lion Patronus, and Harry asked him directly when he was trying his grit. And tonight, he had to tell the story to Ron in its entirety.
Because he also hopes that Ron can "get his wish" and push his limits.
"Ron, didn't Maca say that too? Everybody has what they're good at and what they're not good at, and sometimes, we just don't get the best out of ourselves......" Harry said as he thought, "It might take a little luck and patience, and your efforts must be enough now, we all see that." ”
"So I think you might as well wait and see, maybe when that opportunity will arise......"
At this point, Harry recounted Neville's transformation. Ron listened silently, not speaking again from beginning to end, only occasionally showing a slightly stunned expression.
He knew Harry's character, so he actually knew very well that Harry really wanted to help him and give him some inspiration that might exist in Neville's story.
Like Neville's powerful Patronus Charm, it comes from love for loved ones. At that time, in order to protect his grandmother, he burst out with the greatest courage, and the strength of breaking through himself was beyond even Harry's ability.
Harry still thinks to this day that if Neville's courage had been purer and more in line with Gryffindor's will, perhaps he wouldn't be the one wielding the sword now.
After all, it was indeed stronger than Harry at the moment, and it was the courage to overcome himself.
And Ron...... He's also a Gryffindor lion, isn't he? Perhaps Ron's breakthrough will be courage, but it's not the same as what Neville and Harry themselves have......
Ron could feel Harry's thoughts, but unfortunately, he never felt that he would be good at this aspect. Who knows if the Sorting Hat was because he kept saying "Gryffindor" in his heart at the sorting ceremony, so he casually divided him?
Anyway, Ron hadn't seen much of the Gryffindor traits in himself, and even the recklessness he had at the beginning was now long gone.
As Harry finished telling Neville little by little, Ron saw that Harry looked at him with anticipation in his eyes. In order not to disappoint Harry, he nodded heavily.
"I understand, rest assured...... I'm not going to give up. ”
Harry smiled encouragingly, thinking it was time to talk about himself. But at this moment, an inexplicable movement suddenly sounded from the other end of the camp, making him and Ron subconsciously look at the opposite side.
"What's that sound?"
"I don't know...... Let's go check it out! ”
