Ron had rarely come to the library on his own initiative. Perhaps it was because of this that Troyer would often stay in the library to minimize the possibility of accidentally bumping into Ron.

However, just because he rarely comes doesn't mean he won't come in his life, as long as both of them are still attending Hogwarts, they will meet sooner or later.

No, Troye had just passed by in the aisle of the bookshelf, and he hadn't even noticed Ron before he was seen by Ron at a glance.

"Wait—"

Troyer, who didn't know what was happening, suddenly felt his wrist tighten, and then he was grabbed. After a brief moment of consternation, he hurriedly took two steps back to the side, smashing the palm on his right wrist with his left hand, looking extremely flustered.

"No...... Let go...... I. ”

Troye was too thin and small, and he had little strength since he was a child, so how could he break free. What's more, Ron has never had the intention of letting go since he subconsciously grabbed him.

"Troyer? Troy'...... It's me, Ron Weasley! ”

Ron himself didn't know what kind of mood he was in right now, to be precise, he was a mess in his head right now.

What to consider from the other person's point of view, what to think about others, what is the importance of reason - at this time, he has no room to think about problems at all.

After all, the situation he is encountering now cannot be solved with reason and intelligence!

"Troyer, calm down...... Listen to me! Ron gripped the slender arm firmly, trying to calm himself down, "Look, I think we need to talk, what do you think?" ”

"No, please let me go......"

Troyer's struggle seemed to be a little smaller, but he didn't stop pulling his arm back.

"I know...... It's you, Mr. Weasley......"

Perhaps because he had rarely communicated with people since he was a child, he spoke very quietly, and he was intermittent and rather fragmented between words.

But you know, this is already the result of his hard work. If it wasn't Ron who grabbed his wrist at the moment, only his family would be able to let him speak.

“…… But, I'm sorry...... Let's not ...... Don't talk about it. ”

Looking at the timid look he tried to hide his face behind him, coupled with his female wizard robe with a skirt, Ron's sense of awkwardness in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

But even so, Ron knew he had to take the chance.

In fact, he alone reached out on the spur of the moment. If he did this again, even if he had a chance to grab this thin arm, he might not be able to convince himself of the tangle in his heart.

"You've got to tell me...... Why? ”

Ron breathed repeatedly, his mouth and nose filled with the smell of ink and parchment, as if the smell would allow him to suppress the embarrassment as much as possible.

"I already know about you...... Yes, you know. Thank you for liking the "Wizard's Guide to Warchess" I wrote...... So, why can't we just sit down and have a good talk? We've got to ...... Uh, make some things clear. ”

Hearing Ron mention the wizard's chess, Troyer's attempt to break his palm finally stopped. But he saw that his thin lips pursed slightly, and then he lowered his left hand and stood there without moving.

Only his face was still tilted to the other side, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look at it at all.

Yes, the distance between the two of them at the moment is really too close for Troyer!

At the same time, Ron on the other side didn't know where to start after seeing him fall silent.

After about ten seconds, Troyer's mouth suddenly moved slightly.

“…… Can you please...... Let me go? I'm not running anymore......"

"Oh!"

After he reminded him of this, Ron suddenly withdrew the hand that was still holding the other party's wrist as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Uh...... Excuse me! So we ...... Why don't you go sit there for a while? ”

Ron said, gesturing to the small reading table located deeper in the library. The light is not very good, and there is not much room for people, so there are generally not many students who go there to read books and do homework.

Of course, sometimes when you need to go through some high-level magic book, you have to go there and read it alone. Because in this Hogwarts library, there are many books or magic notes that can easily affect others.

As Ron led the way in front, he also looked back from time to time to make sure Troyer slipped away with a reverse.

Luckily, it seems that this time the other party finally didn't have the idea of running away - oh, at least not yet.

"Please be seated!"

Ron pulled out a chair for Troyer before stepping over to the table and sitting down.

When Troyer moved to the back chair, he continued:

"You've heard that just now - yes, I've heard a lot about you. To be honest, I don't have the same experience as you, so it can be hard to understand your thoughts...... But ......"

When trying to say something, Ron gradually became so overwhelmed by his vocabulary that he couldn't express himself properly.

However, at the moment when he was short of words and could not continue, Troyer's hand suddenly clenched.

"Don't say it......," he said sneeringly, "I understand, I understand...... I know that this and this 'state' of mine is unreasonable. I'm sorry, Mr. Weasley...... You're right, forget about it all! You should ...... To enjoy a better life, you should embrace real, girly ...... And not ...... like me."

At this, Troye suddenly turned his head and looked straight into Ron's face for the first time.

"I can feel your kindness, you're afraid to hurt me. But, really...... You don't have to force yourself to understand what I'm thinking, you just have to stand up and walk away...... Just go about your life. ”

Troyer pursed his dry lips again, his eyes looking a little moist.

"Mr. Weasley, as long as you're happy and happy, I'll ...... It's okay. ”

After saying this, as if he had just realized what he was talking about, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands.

Ron listened to Troy's heartfelt words in a daze, and suddenly felt a deeper sense of guilt in his heart. He opened his mouth several times, but he still couldn't say half a sentence.

With such a "rejection" full of true feelings, it is difficult not to be moved even if you change it casually.

Seriously, at that moment, there was only one sentence left in Ron's mind - if he was indeed a girl, how nice it would be!

As he grew older, Ron realized more and more that it was really too difficult to find a girl who loved him with all her heart.

However, he is a man.

Taking a deep breath, Ron squeezed out a slightly stiff smile.

"No, this...... How so? "It's true that this state of affairs is 'unreasonable,' but it can't be said to be wrong...... There was a man who once said, 'There are always contradictions in this world, so whatever exists, it can be reasonable.' ”

Of course, it was Maca who said this, after all, he himself was completely an "unreasonable" existence.

Unexpectedly, after hearing him say this, Troyer's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So-" he grabbed Ron's hand on the table with surprise and delight, "Mr. Weasley, is it ...... Are you really willing to accept me? I'm ...... No...... Dreaming? ”

"Oh, this ......"

Ron was so grasped by him that his upper body suddenly shrank back, but his hands didn't dare to move at all.

"No, there is no ...... Oh, I mean, I might ...... Or do you prefer ...... Girl? ”

He didn't know why he ended with a questioning tone, but he knew that he should show his heart with a statement that was so relaxed that it couldn't be more relaxed.

It's great to have a feeling like this, but worry about one accidentally getting too irritated by the other person...... Oh no, it's terrible!

Ron began to feel that he couldn't go on like this, or he would become strange sooner or later.

"Ahem—"

He coughed dryly, then carefully pulled his hands out from under the other's hands. The real touch of skin friction made the roots of the ears of the two people reddened at the same time.

"He's a man...... He's a man......" Ron repeated this in his heart several times before he forced himself to erase the delicate feeling from his mind.

"I'm sorry," he gestured to dissipate the residual warmth on the back of his hand, "I may have caused you a little misunderstanding with what I just said...... Actually, I want to say, you should be brave so that you can find a better ...... than me Uh, 'boyfriend's'. ”

"Don't feel like it's a bad state of mind, be confident! I'm sure you're fine! ”

"But what...... Well, I do only like girls. So we can be friends - good friends kind, we can play wizard chess together...... But I'm sorry, I can't be yours...... Your boyfriend? ”

Ron only felt that it took him more effort to say that last word than it would take him to write an entire week of a paper on the history of magic.

But fortunately, he finally said it.

However, Ron didn't expect that when he saw a glimmer of hope for "liberation" on Troyer's face, a nightmarish voice passed through his ears exceptionally loudly.

"What are you doing...... Oh! Are you finally going to be together! ”

Ron turned his head slowly and grimly, winking at the man who walked up to him coldly.

"Harry, why haven't you been stabbed to death by that broken sword?"
