Chapter 550: IQ Declines
Harry woke up on Sunday morning and it took a while to remember why he was so sad and distressed.
Last night's scenes came to mind.
He sat up, hung up the curtains, and prepared to talk to Ron, to force him to believe himself - only to find Ron's bed empty, apparently he had gone to breakfast.
Harry got dressed and walked up the spiral staircase into the common room.
As soon as he appeared, the people who had finished breakfast applauded again.
Go to the hall and face the people who treat him as heroes? I'm afraid the future is not very optimistic, but stay here?
The Weasley brothers would corner him and force him to join them. He made up his mind to walk towards the portrait, pulled it away, and climbed out, finding himself facing Hermione and Van Lin, the two of them just returning from dinner.
"Hey," Hermione said, holding up the toast wrapped in the napkins in her hand. "I got this for you...... Want to get out and about?"
"Good idea. Harry was grateful.
They went downstairs, not looking into the hall, but walked quickly through the hall of the population, and soon walked on the lawn that led to the small lake.
Durmstrang's boat is parked on the edge of the lake, its shadow in the water. early
It's cold in the morning.
They nibbled on toast as they walked. Harry told her about what had happened to Van Lin after he left the Gryffindor table last night.
He was greatly relieved to find that Hermione believed what he said without asking anything.
As for Van Lin, he should know better than anyone else.
Harry was glad that his two friends were on his side without hesitation.
Maybe Van Lin and Hermione had already said it, but he didn't care, he just wanted to say it, and it was much more comfortable to say it.
He told her what she had been in the room after leaving the hall. She said, "Of course I know you didn't sign up yourself, just look at the look on your face when you hear Dumbledore announce your name, but the question is, who put the name in? Harry, Moody is right, I don't think any student can do that, except for Van Lin...... But you also know that there is no reason for Van Lin to let you participate in the competition at all, which is not a good thing, as for the rest...... They can't fool the goblet, they can't fool Dumbledoreβ"
"Did you see Ron?" Harry interrupted.
Hermione hesitated.
"Well, I see, he's having breakfast. β
"Does he still think I signed it up myself?"
"No, I don't think so, not really. Hermione was a little embarrassed.
"Not really, what does that mean?"
"Harry, isn't that obvious?" Hermione said, "I think he's jealous. β
"Jealousy?" Harry thought incomprehensible. "Jealous of what? He wants to make a fool of himself in front of the whole school?"
"Well," Hermione patiently explained to him, "you know, it's always you who get attention...... I know it's not your fault. β
Harry tried to plead, but Hermione quickly added, "I know you don't want to, but, uh, you know, Ron has to compete with his brothers at home. You're his best friend, and you're really famous. Every time everyone pays attention to you, he always quietly steps aside. He was suffering, though he never mentioned it. This time, I reckon, he can't take it anymore. β
"It's good, it's really good. Harry said bitterly, "Go and tell him that I am willing to trade with him whenever he wants, and tell him that I welcome him to come and ...... Changing people's attention to my forehead scar......"
Hermione immediately said, "I won't tell him anything. For yourself, this is the only solution.
"I'm not going to run around him and mature up. Harry spoke loudly, startling a few owls from a nearby tree.
"It may take me to lose my head before he believes that I don't like it. β
"Don't laugh. Hermione whispered, "It's not fun at all." She seemed nervous, and immediately afterward, Hermione stabbed Van Lin and motioned for Van Lin to say a few words as well.
Van Lin was a little speechless, in fact, he didn't know how to deal with the affairs between these friends at all.
In Vanlin's opinion, there was a reason for Ron's actions, but all of this was not acceptable to Harry, and then things went bad.
He is not a proper communicator, acting as a bridge between the two.
Van Lin clasped his hands together and bowed to Hermione pleadingly. Immediately after, he was given a roll of the eye by Hermione.
"Harry, I've been thinking, you know what we're supposed to do, right? What are we going to do when we get back to the castle?" said Hermione.
"Know, kick Ron hard and kick him into the Black Lagoon to feed the octopus......"
"Feed the octopus...... Van Lin was a little speechless, "Perhaps, you can choose to let Ron feed the fried tail snails......"
"That's fine. Harry nodded.
Immediately afterward, Hermione gave the heads of the two men a blow.
"It's to write to Sirius! You have to tell him what's going on. He told you to write to tell me everything that was happening at Hogwarts. It is likely that he had expected this to happen. I brought a quill pen and some parchment. β
"Forget it. Harry waved his hand helplessly, "Maybe Van Lin is his godson, and I can't contact him at all......"
"That'...... That's just ......," Van Lin muttered, "I think it's just because...... Because, he's going to buy me some materials for experiments, you know, Hogwarts can't get them, and Dobby's identity ......"
"There's nothing wrong with who he is. Hermione emphasized.
"Uh, okay, let's not continue with this. Van Lin said quickly.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Harry, this requires you to take the initiative to communicate, you know, Sirius may not have ...... right now Sirius must want to know these things, maybe you can finish the toast and we'll go to the owl room. β
"I have to write a letter first. Van Lin said suddenly.
Immediately afterward, Hermione stared at Van Lin with the eyes of an idiot.
As a result, the situation is a little embarrassing.
In Ron's absence, Van Lin's IQ began to plummet, which was not a good thing.
If it's really close to Ron......
Maybe he was abandoned by Dumbledore, but even now compared to this, Van Lin's starting point is already very high......
Van Lin wisely chose to keep his mouth shut, silence is a virtue.
The ancients did not deceive me......
In fact, if you don't shut up, the behavior without a lower IQ limit is really a bit miserable.
"Let's go back. Van Lin said quickly, "Harry, you should think about the recent events, and to sum it up, I think Sirius should have some advice, although he is quite unreliable." β
"Let's go!" Hermione patted Van Lin, "You're talking too much......"
