"Whew!"

A scream rang out on the hillside on the outskirts of the camp, startling a few small finches that were rummaging in the nearby grass for food.

"I'm sorry, Ron, I stepped on you carelessly—but I can't be blamed for that, you see, who would have thought someone would be lying here early in the morning?"

Ron, who had been stepped on his hand, rubbed his fingers carefully with a bitter face, and he couldn't help but feel a little speechless when he heard the dry apology and explanation coming from him.

"Hermione, you did it on purpose, right?"

Before the words fell, Hermione, who was standing on the side, immediately turned her head away, and then said casually:

"yes—"

"You actually admit it!"

Facing this inexplicable Miss Granger, Ron couldn't help but be a little stunned - what's the matter, is there anyone who deliberately stepped on someone and is still so arrogant?

All right! Although in front of Hermione, Ron Weasley has always had to accept his fate, but ...... That's too bullying, isn't it?

However, before he could recover from his depression and grievances, he heard Hermione continue abruptly:

"Don't you understand why I'm stepping on you? Think about what you did late last night - if you can't remember, I can step on you again to sober you up! ”

"Alas, don't...... I know what's going on," Ron said hurriedly, "Ginny has come to you to complain?" But...... What did she tell you? ”

"Ginny?" Hermione pouted, "She didn't take the initiative to tell me, I thought something was wrong with her this morning, so I took the initiative to ask her!" ”

"Oh, I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just wondering, what the hell did she say?" Ron said helplessly, "If I her off, it was indeed my fault, but I really didn't do anything too much?" ”

"Huh?"

Hermione glanced at him again, and then said:

"Isn't it too much to her off? Ginny is in a bad state right now, don't you know? Besides, can she tell me that you have a problem with her being with Harry? ”

"Oh my God! Merlin, I swear I never said that! Besides, Harry is my buddy, how could I possibly have a problem with them? ”

Hermione, however, was still staring at him delicately.

"Just how you used to behave when you found out Ginny was in love, hum ......"

"Hey! You have to trust me! Ron finally couldn't help but cry out, and said with a sad face on his face, "I do care a lot about Ginny's affairs, and I think she shouldn't have fallen in love so early - it's definitely not good for her, at least I think it is." But—"

“…… But? ”

Hermione raised an eyebrow at him, motioning for him to continue.

"But," Ron continued, "I remember talking to you about it in the past!" From the very beginning, I felt that Harry was the ...... Well, at least the one I could barely agree to be Ginny's boyfriend...... Isn't it? As for what I'm against, it's Michael Conner's instant noodle head! ”

Hearing this, Hermione stared at him for a long time before pursing her lips and nodding slightly, as if she finally agreed with what he said.

"For the sake of your honesty, I'll just assume that you're telling the truth—"

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Don't talk!" Hermione immediately interrupted without saying anything, "Listen, it's your fault for making Ginny angry, anyway!" You come over with me to apologize in a moment, you know? I ......"

"Wait!"

When Ron heard her say this, he couldn't help but speak again:

"Hermione, you left the campfire last night, so you probably didn't know yet. In fact, Marca later told Harry to prepare to talk to Ginny. And Harry hasn't been there during the night, and I think he'll probably be over this morning......"

"Maca let Harry pass?" When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but bow her head slightly, "Well, it's a good idea to have Harry talk to Ginny directly...... But can Harry do it? Wouldn't be as stupid as you? ”

In the face of Hermione's undisguised complaint, Ron could only admit it, after all, he really didn't do a good enough job. It was only for Hermione's doubts that he couldn't help but explain further:

"Maca told Harry to go to Lockhart first, so he didn't go to Ginny last night."

Lockhart...... Mr? ”

To be honest, Hermione still has some mixed feelings about Gilderoy Lockhart. Although because of the existence of Maka, she has a lot less admiration for the former, but at first she still thinks that this man is amazing.

At least, there weren't many people who could write best-selling books, and Hermione had been a bookworm since she was a child. She really liked a handsome-looking "great writer" at first — not to mention that Lockhart claimed that the books were based on his real experiences.

And after the incident in the secret room, Maca didn't expose that guy's lies, but just used "reason to convince people...... Oh well! There was still some compulsion to make Lockhart repent.

It wasn't until after Lockhart's big audio-visual show that she learned the real face of the guy from Maca, and her impression of the other party plummeted.

However, after that, Lockhart's various low-key behaviors were hardly annoying.

Merely......

“…… Ask him for advice? This...... Is it reliable? ”

"You'll have to ask Maca!" Ron shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittally, "I don't know...... I've never had a crush on that guy though! ”

Hermione shook her head wildly and said casually:

"Forget it, since it was Maca's suggestion, it shouldn't be wrong. Alright, Ron, come over and wash your face, it's time to prepare breakfast for everyone! ”

"Okay!"

When Ron heard this, he immediately stood up on the ground, and then patted the blades of grass on his body vigorously. Slapping his ass, he glanced in the direction not far behind Hermione.

"Hermione," he said, "the ...... 'Miss Alice Faye'?" You've been with her last night, haven't you? What's going on with her? ”

"A good girl to be trusted!" Hermione immediately replied, "Although she was Helmo's subordinate not long ago, it was forced, not of her own will—in fact, she was just an ordinary girl who was a little introverted!" At best, he's gifted at cursing magic...... Well, no, it's 'excellent'! ”

"Oh," Ron nodded thoughtfully, "another genius...... It seems that I will always be at the bottom......"

"Long-winded!" Hermione beckoned helplessly, "Hurry up." ”
