In fact, a whole night of cranky thinking is not without consequences.

Harry woke up the next morning with a bit of a dizziness, he had a series of dreams last night in which Ron chased him with the bat, saying that he and Ginny were ......

Van Lin and Hermione also watched from the sidelines, Hermione hugged Ginny in her hand, and then Ginny was crying......

It's all meow......

Harry wasn't very happy when he woke up, in fact, he was always very tired the next day after a night's sleep and being chased and beaten in his dreams.

At noon, however, he was delighted to meet the real Ron, who was not only cold to Ginny and Dean, but also sneering at Verlin and Hermione.

Actually, it's not a cynicism, but looking at Ron's appearance, he doesn't seem to be interested in anything, and anyone is scolded by his sister......

Speaking of which, this is self-inflicted?

As it turned out, this had a very big impact on Ron's mentality, and in Harry's eyes, there was absolutely nothing worse than that.

And the next few days, Ron's hostility didn't fade away. To make matters worse, it further affected Ron's goalkeeping skills, which made him even more irritable, so much so that in his last training session before Saturday's game, he failed to hold on to every ball that his chaser shot at him, yelling at everyone and making Demelza cry.

"Shut up and leave her alone for a while!" exclaimed Pixar, who was only two-thirds Ron's height but had a heavy bat in his hand.

"That's enough!" Harry roared, seeing Ginny glaring angrily in Ron's direction, remembering her masterful batspirit spell, Harry rushed over before things could spiral out of control. "Pixar, go put the Bludger away. Demerza, cheer up, you played well today. Ron ......"

He waited for the rest of the team to be gone and said, "You're my best buddy, but if you keep doing this to other people, I'm going to have to kick you out of the team." ”

For a moment he felt like Ron was going to hit him, but something worse happened: Ron stumbled on a broomstick, all fighting spirit was gone, and he said, "I'm quitting." I'm a wretched wretch. ”

"You're not a pathetic creature and you can't quit!" Harry said fiercely, grabbing Ron at the placket. "You can hold any ball when you're in good shape, you're mentally wrong!"

"You're saying I'm crazy?"

"Yes, maybe yes!" they glared at each other for a moment, then Ron shook his head wearily. 'I know you don't have time to find a new goalkeeper, so I'll play tomorrow, but if we lose – we definitely will – I'll leave. ”

Harry's words didn't change anything.

In fact, Ron had no intention of looking for problems in himself at all, at least in Van Lin's opinion, Ron had been dumping the blame......

And this point has also been recognized by everyone.

Ron wasn't quite right from the start of the semester, and in fact, that might have been partly to Slahhorn's fault.

The four of them, Hermione was invited, while Harry and Van Lin were on Slahhorn's list early, and although neither of the two wanted to go, there was no doubt that Slavhorn had reserved a seat for the two of them, and none of this was Ron's business.

Slahhorn did it very obviously, in his eyes, Ron was useless to him, so naturally he didn't need to pay attention to it.

It's hard to say if that's true or not, but apparently, Slavhorn isn't obligated to pay attention to what Ron thinks.

But the effect on Ron was really bad, probably because of jealousy, and in the case of Ginny.

It's hard to say, what kind of state of mind is Ron, maybe a deformed desire to protect?

Ginny didn't buy it, obviously, it wasn't a reasonable request, and in the middle of the conflict, the defenses on both sides were broken down, and the pent-up negativity erupted together, as if it had been affected by Peter Pettigrew's Imperius Charm.

This was absolutely bad news for the team, and Ron seemed to have made up his mind to quit the team, which was definitely very difficult for Harry to do.

Harry had been trying to get Ron to improve his self-confidence during dinner, but Ron was too busy to rough up on everything. Harry stayed in the common room for the night, but the rest of the team huddled in a far corner, complaining loudly and throwing him a look of disgust, which completely undermined Harry's assertion that the team couldn't live without Ron.

Eventually, Harry feigned anger again, hoping to provoke Ron's rebellion to keep the door safe, but this strategy didn't seem to work better than encouragement, and Ron went to sleep in frustration and despair.

Harry lay awake in the darkness for a long time. He didn't want to lose tomorrow's game, not only because it was his first game as captain, but also because he had to beat Draco Malfoy in Quidditch, even if he couldn't prove his suspicions about him.

However, if Ron plays like he has done in recent trainings, their chances of winning are very slim...... If only he could cheer Ron up and let him play at his best...... What would have ensured Ron a very lucky day...... Harry had an idea for the answer.

The next day's breakfast was as exciting as ever, with the Slytherin people booing every Gryffindor player as they walked into the auditorium.

Harry glanced at the light blue clear sky above the ceiling: it was a good sign.

The Gryffindor table was packed with students dressed in red and gold, cheering as Harry and Ron walked over.

Harry grinned and waved in acknowledgement, and Ron grimaced and shook his head.

"You look relaxed?" Van Lin looked at Harry strangely, if anyone was going to be in the same bad mood as Ron right now, it was clear that Harry was the only one left.

"Oh, of course, I don't think I'm going to lose. Harry said, and sat down next to Van Lin, looking delighted.

"Cheer up, Ron!" Lavender shouted at him. "I know you're going to be good!"

Ron ignored her.

"Oh, don't do that, Ron. Van Lin said, putting away the breakfast left for Hermione, "It's a game today, if it's like this......"

"Say no more, Van Lin. Harry shook his head and stopped, then squeezed between the two men.

"You're ......"

"I've got a solution. Harry smiled wryly.

It's weird, to be honest, it's very discordant on Harry's body, but after seeing the small bottle in Harry's hand, in an instant, Van Lin knew what Harry wanted to do.

"Tea?" Harry ignored Van Lin and continued to ask Ron. "Coffee?pumpkin juice?"

"Anything," Ron said sullenly, taking a bite of toast. Hermione a few minutes later - she was tired of Ron's recent nasty behavior, so she didn't come down to breakfast with them.

At the end of the day, Hermione still managed to be by Van Lin's side, and then Van Lin naturally brought out the food......

This shouldn't be an overkill.

"How are you two feeling?" Hermione smiled at Van Lin, then turned her head.

I don't know who the girl learned from, as soon as she turned her face, Hermione's expression became serious, especially when facing Ron, the most important thing in Quidditch, besides the Hunter, was the goalkeeper.

Harry didn't have to worry about it, but not Ron.

"Oh, of course, good!" Harry was carefully handing Ron a glass of pumpkin juice.

"Come, Ron. Drink it up. ”

As soon as Ron raised the glass to his lips, Hermione shrieked, "Don't drink that, Ron!" and both Harry and Ron looked up at her.

"Why?" said Ron. Hermione stared at Harry in disbelief. "You just put something in your drink. ”

"What did you say?" said Harry. "You heard what I said. I just saw you. Ron's drink was poured into something, and you're still holding that bottle in your hand!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Harry quickly shoved the vial into his pocket.

"Ron, I warn you, don't drink it!" Hermione said in horror, but Ron was now very resistant to any suggestion or ...... Commanding, he took the cup and drank it down in one gulp, then said, "Don't dictate in front of me, Hermione. ”

Hermione looked disgusted, and she bent down and whispered to Harry, "You should be expelled." I never believed you would do that, Harry!"

"Calm down, Hermione. Harry whispered, "It's just a well-intentioned ......."

"Oh, you're ......" Hermione was a little annoyed, apparently she wasn't going to accept Harry's approach.

"Leave it to me, you should go, Harry. Van Lin said, looking at Hermione who was leaving angrily, it was obvious that this kind of work was not appropriate for anyone.

"It's almost time," Harry said pleasantly. They strode across the frosty meadows, creaking under their feet. "It's lucky that the weather is so nice, isn't it?" asked Ron.

"yes," Ron said palely, looking sickly. Ginny and Demelza were already donning their Quidditch robes and were waiting in the dressing room.

"It's going to look good," Ginny said, deliberately ignoring Ron's presence, "and guess what? Slytherin's chaser Vesey - he was hit in the head by a Bludger in training yesterday and was in too much pain to play!

"What?" Harry turned to stare at her. "He's sick, what's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, but it's in our favor," said Ginny happily. "They've got Harper, he's in the same grade as me, he's an idiot!"

Harry smiled vaguely at her, but his mind turned away from Quidditch as he put on his bright red robe.

Malfoy was unable to play on one occasion due to injury, but at that time he moved the game to a more favourable time for Slytherin. Why is he putting a substitute on the pitch now? Is he really sick? Or is he pretending?

"Suspicious, isn't it?" he whispered to Ron. "Malfoy is not coming to play. ”

"I think it's lucky," Ron said, looking a little more energetic, "Wesey can't make it either, he's their best shooter, I don't like him — hey!"

Ron froze suddenly, luckily...... Fortunate......

"I ...... You're ......" Ron lowered his voice, looking scared and excited, "my drink...... My pumpkin juice...... You don't have ......?"

Harry raised an eyebrow, but just said, "We're going to start in five minutes, you'd better put your boots on." ”

Ron looked a little excited, which made Ron's whole body tremble a little, and combined with his slightly pale face, he didn't look like a normal athlete at all.

"What's wrong with you?" said Harry, looking at Ron a little nervously.

"I didn't ...... Never mind. Ron stole a sneak glance at the rest of the team, "I mean, I think I'm very helpful right now, I can't get any better." ”

Ron said, clenching his fist hard, "I think we can leave." ”

......

"How could you have made Harry do that? ......" Hermione said with some exasperation, haunted by what Harry had done.

Elixirs are forbidden in all sports, and after Verlin has thoroughly figured out the effects of the elixir, although Slavhorn is a bit exaggerated, in fact, the elixir is much better than the doping.

As a kind of magic potion, the so-called "good luck" that the elixir can bring is actually a considerable improvement in all aspects of your abilities, such as social skills, magic abilities, reaction skills, etc., so that people will feel that everything is going well.

However, after experimenting with it himself, (it wasn't too much trouble to buy a bottle of this thing,) Van Lin was originally going to use it when solving an alchemy problem, but in fact, for a few hours, there was no use at all except to make Van Lin feel better in his brain.

It is conceivable that the idea of using the elixir to make Voldemort and the Grim Reaper wash and sleep naturally gave up.

But for Ron today, if there was anything that could save him, there was nothing more suitable for him than the elixir.

"It's the only way to save Ron...... Van Linn said, "and it's Harry's decision, though it's a bit wasteful. ”

"Waste? This is ......"

"Oh, it's about to begin. Van Lin covered Hermione's mouth, it was clear that this kind of thing could not be discussed in the middle of the crowd.

"Uh......h You...... Let go ......"

But before Hermione could finish speaking, Hermione's voice was already dispersed by the cheers of the court.

One side of the course is red and gold, and the other side is a sea of green and silver. Many Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws joined in: amidst all the cheers and applause, Van Lin watched as Harry led all the Gryffindor players out.

"Ron looks much better...... Van Lin said, and the only thing that answered him was Hermione's cold snort.

"Oh, don't do that, Hermione......" Van Lin said with a headache, "it's already started anyway, isn't it." ”

"But ......"

"Oh, isn't that the same with the Confusion Charm. "Relax, in Ron's current state, there is no way to solve his mental problems, and besides, it's already like this, isn't it." ”

"You are heresy. Hermione pinched the soft flesh around Van Lin's waist......

"Stop...... Stop...... Harry didn't necessarily really use it...... He just needed Ron to know he used it. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's none of my business!" Hermione said, "I'm teaching you the truth. ”

"Teach me?" Van Lin grinned, "but, what ......?"

"Realize for yourself. Hermione squinted.

"Oh, I...... I was wrong......"

"Are you wrong?

"I ...... I don't know......"
