180. Neville's real problem?
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Hearing Scott's words, Hermione blushed and apologized.
"I didn't expect ......"
She looked a little overwhelmed.
"It's okay."
Neville said good-naturedly.
He looked at Harry and Ron again.
"Thank you." He said, "You're worried about me, aren't you?" ”
Harry smiled, "Ron brought us here, you're fine, Neville." ”
"I heard you were taken away by Fred and George." Ron frowned and said, "I'm worried they're doing some tricks again." ”
"Hey!"
Fred and George immediately glared at him dissatisfied.
"If you want me to ......," Fred smirked, "we're just going to play tricks on you, little Rollo." ”
George nodded thoughtfully, "This is an intimate relationship that only belongs to our own brothers. ”
Ron shrunk his neck and said stiffly, "I won't be afraid of you!" ”
At this point, Scott knocked on the table.
"Now we know what's going on." He said, "Go out first, Neville and I have something to say." ”
"Can't we take a look?" Ron muttered.
"Nope."
Harry and Hermione pulled him outside.
But they were also staring curiously at the parchment in Scott's hand.
"I didn't ...... Never mind. ”
That's when Neville spoke.
"You can see it if you want." He said.
"Neville?" Scott looked at him with some surprise.
Neville asked him in turn, "Is that okay, Scott?" ”
Scott nodded, "If you don't have an opinion." ”
He rolled up the parchment and handed it to Neville.
"Speaking of which, arithmetic divination is over." He said, "The next thing doesn't involve too much privacy, you can put this piece of paper first." ”
"Thank you."
Neville reached out and took it.
Scott glanced around.
I found that a total of six people over there were already standing in a row nearby, all looking at themselves and Neville with curious eyes.
They even had the classroom doors reclosed.
“……”
Scott was speechless for a moment.
For the sake of not bothering their side, I tried to ignore their eyes as much as possible.
He looked back at Neville.
"You already know the results of your arithmetic divination, Neville." He asked softly, "But I've noticed that you don't have much confidence in yourself. ”
"I ......"
Neville pinched the parchment in his hand.
"I can't do anything well...... How can they be saved? ”
"Indeed, even I have heard of it."
Scott was still looking at him.
"Your memory is very poor, your grades are not very good, whether it is in your studies or in life, there will always be some problems......
Hearing his words, Neville's head lowered and lowered.
"You can't say that!" Hermione suddenly said with some dissatisfaction, "Neville's herbalism is very good!" ”
"No, I'm just ......," Neville shook his head dejectedly, "so what's the use?" ”
Hermione retorted, "Who said it was useless! Since Hogwarts has set up a herbalism course, it's useful! ”
"Okay, be quiet for a while, I'm not done yet." Scott looked at Hermione helplessly.
"I ......"
Hermione still seemed a little unconvinced, but kept her mouth shut in his gaze.
Scott looked back at Neville.
"I said that to tell you that I know where you are, and that's the root of your lack of self-confidence."
His tone was flat, as if he was making small talk.
This made Neville relax a little again.
Then Scott said, "But I want to say, everybody...... Everyone, including yourself, Neville, is mistaken about you. ”
He met Neville's stunned gaze, a little unstaggered.
"Your talent is actually not bad, even better than many people."
"I, I, I ......"
Neville's eyes widened and his mouth wide open.
"How is that possible?"
Ron blurted out.
Scott looked around and noticed that everyone present had a look of disbelief in their eyes.
Scott said to them with some amusement, "You think I'm comforting him?" ”
Isn't it?
Everyone replied with their eyes and expressions.
"No...... Isn't it? Neville said, "You're motivating me...... Of course, I'm grateful for that......"
"Of course not."
Scott interrupted.
"Your question is not out of magic." He pointed to Neville's heart, "It's in your heart." ”
"Heart?"
The other seven people in the room, except for Scott, asked rhetorically at the same time.
Scott turned his head to look at the crowd again, and the six men covered their mouths with their hands in unison.
"Magic is the power of believing."
Scott said to Neville.
"That's what Dumbledore said to me."
He looked at the Weasley twins again.
"Do you remember? You were there at the time, and Dumbledore said this last thing at the afternoon tea in the Headmaster's Office. ”
Fred George shook his head in unison.
"Sorry, I don't remember." Fred said.
George scratched his head, "I just remember that the snacks at that afternoon tea were delicious." ”
"No, you remember."
Scott said angrily.
He knew that Fred and George, two goblin guys, also had good memories.
"Well, we remember."
"Dumbledore did say that."
The twins said again.
"But......" Neville said confusedly, "I don't disbelieve in magic, only Muggles don't believe in it." ”
"yes!"
Harry couldn't help but say.
"Like my aunt and uncle-in-law, they refused to believe in magic until Hagrid conjured a pig's tail for my cousin."
At this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Later, whenever the topic of magic is brought up, they become hysterical."
"Of course I didn't mean that."
Scott shook his head.
He looked Neville in the eye again.
"It's not like you don't believe in magic, Neville." He spoke a little slowly, "You're resisting magic, your heart is resisting. ”
"I didn't." Neville argued, "I ...... I've been working my studies. ”
At this point, Hermione stepped up again, "I can testify that Neville is much harder than Harry and Ron!" ”
"It's not about the learning attitude."
Scott said.
"Neville."
He called, regaining Neville's attention.
"Your resistance to magic comes from deep within you."
Scott said.
"If I had to guess, you even have fear in your heart."
At this point, Neville's round face was a little pale.
Scott continued to speak his understanding.
"Maybe it's because of what happened to you as a child, even if you don't have relevant memories, your subconscious mind is still affected, and the suffering brought to you by magic makes you resist it."
