354. Ron's jealousy
354. Ron's jealousy
The next day was Sunday, and Field, who slept late, got out of bed. When he got up, there was no one in the dormitory.
He got dressed and walked through the common room, through the underground corridor, to the auditorium.
There were quite a few people in the auditorium at this time, and Field walked to the long Hufflepuff table in three steps and two steps, Ernie and Justin greeted him, and then continued their argument, as if the Hufflepuff students were all denouncing Harry Potter at this time, and Hannah and Susan on the other side also echoed.
In fact, Hufflepuff has always gotten along well with Gryffindor, but now they are all suddenly cold, and the reason is naturally that Harry Potter has qualified for the Triwizard Tournament through some 'unknown' means.
Indeed, if you look at Hufflepuff's usual philosophy, they did not do anything wrong. The badgers, who have always advocated fairness and integrity, really can't tolerate a person who has qualified for the competition by 'cheating' to become one of the warriors representing the school.
After listening for a while, Field could only smile wryly and shake his head, it seemed that his analysis in the Great Hall yesterday was in vain, and those explanations and speculations could not dispel everyone's misunderstanding of Harry. But think about it, the badgers are also known for their stubbornness, as long as Harry can't explain how he tricked the Goblet of Fire into becoming a Warrior, then the Hufflepuffs will stubbornly think that he cheated, because in their eyes Harry has a 'vested interest' in this matter, and based on the argument that 'whoever gains is the most suspicious', Harry naturally becomes a 'suspect of cheating'.
Field tilted his head to the end of the table, where Cedric was surrounded by his friends, laughing and playing. Unable to find Rolf, he finally asked Ernie next to him, and he learned that Rolf seemed to have gone out with Ravenclaw's 'mad girl' Luna Lovegood early in the morning.
Field hastily ate two baguettes over the tomato soup, then got up to walk out of the Great Hall, and when he entered the Gryffindor table, he found Ron sitting alone eating, and it seemed that the 'friendship boat' between him and Harry had capsized.
Walking through the foyer, Field saw that it was a good day, and thought about going for a walk by the lake, but unexpectedly ran into Harry and Hermione.
"Good morning, Harry, good morning, Hermione!" said Field, greeting her.
"Hi, good morning, Field. β
"Oh, I just saw Ron sitting alone in the Great Hall, what's wrong with you?" Field, knowing why.
"Thisβ" Harry frothed, his face a little unnatural.
Hermione shook her head and said helplessly, "That guy is jealous, he's having trouble with Harry right now." β
Field stepped forward, patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Well, Harry, you have to understand Ron, he's under a lot of pressure. β
"What, Field, what are you talking about?" asked Harry, blankly.
Field and Hermione looked at each other, then explained with a wry smile, "You see, the Weasleys, except for Ginny, Ron will be compared to his other brothers by his parents. You've seen all of Ron's brothers, and there's no denying that they're all excellent. Come to think of it, cool big brother Bill, who used to be the president of the Male Student Council at Hogwarts and even got 12 "O's" in the OLS exam, you should know how hard it is to get twelve O's in the OLS exam. And the second brother Charlie, you should remember what your Quidditch captain Wood had to say about Charlie. And Percy, who everyone is familiar with, whether you like his personality or not, but you still have to admit that he is excellent, he is the president of the male student council like Bill, and he got twelve O's in the OLS exam. Finally, there are George and Fred, although they love to mess around, but there is no denying that they are just as good, and their academic performance is not bad. β
Harry's face flashed with a hint of realization: "You mean~~~"
"I mean, in addition to the constant family pressure, Ron has a lot of pressure from your best friend. Field said.
"Me?" Harry muttered, as if thinking about something.
Field continued, "Harry, you may not have cared yourself, but you have to admit that you are an absolute celebrity at Hogwarts and in the wizarding world in general. As your best friend, Ron has to endure being snubbed, and this time you're the only warrior under the age of 17 in the Triwizard Tournament. You didn't tell him about such a way to be in the limelight, do you think he will be jealous?"
"Wait, Field, but you know I didn't sign up myself, do you?" Harry asked anxiously, then turned to Hermione, "Hermione, do you believe that too?"
Hermione looked at Harry in embarrassment and said, "Yes Harry, I believe, as Field analyzed yesterday, I believe that someone voted your name in. But,It's just that I believe it's useless.,I've been in contact with the wizarding world for all these years.,You should also understand.,In fact, wizards' logical thinking is very problematic.,Compared to rational thinking,They believe that their subjective consciousness is like the last question before hiding the Philosopher's Stone in the first grade.,Wizards are not good at logical thinking.,Even if Fieldfield has analyzed yesterday that it's unlikely that you voted your name.,But only if no one proves that you didn't vote.,Everyone will still doubt you.γ It wasn't surprising that Ron was born into a typical wizarding family, and he was now on the cusp of jealousy. β
"Alright, well, what am I going to do now?" asked Harry, irritatingly.
"Maybe you should talk to him. Hermione said.
"Talk, talk about what? Tell him I didn't vote for that name, I told him last night, and he didn't believe it at all. Harry said resentfully, "Either you can tell him, and if he wants, I'll trade with him and let him go to that damn Triwizard Tournament." β
"I won't tell him, if you want to say it, you can say it yourself. Hermione said angrily.
"Honestly, Harry, it's not a good idea, and even if you really want to, the contract of the Goblet of Fire won't allow you to do that. Remember what Professor Dumbledore said, any chosen warrior can only break the contract if they complete all the projects or die. Field rubbed his nose and explained.
The word death made both Harry and Hermione feel cold in their backs, and both of them, who were originally excited, fell silent.
Hermione pondered for a moment and said, "Harry, Ron's matter is not to be considered for now, now you should go back and write to Sirius about what happened yesterday." β
Listening to Hermione's words, Harry became excited again: "However, Sirius is still being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and if he knew that I participated in the Triwizard Tournament, I am afraid that he would rush into Hogwarts right now." β
Field added, "Honestly, Harry. Sirius will find out sooner or later. Triwizard Tournament is a big event in the wizarding world this year, and you're a celebrity, and the Daily Prophet will definitely include your participation in the story. And even if you exclude the Daily Prophet, the Magic TV report will definitely not miss you, and if you don't hurry up and write a letter, I think maybe Sirius Black will see the news of your competition on TV soon, and Mom told me that the first special episode of the Triwizard Tournament will air tonight. β
"Wellβwellβ" Harry finally agreed weakly.
Looking at Harry, who was returning to the castle, Field sighed, "Harry's life will not be easy for quite some time. β
Hearing this, Hermione nodded, "Indeed, especially those who are old enough to have the opportunity to sign up." β
