Chapter 42: Ron's Shyness in the Bag (2)
After dinner, in addition to the astronomy lessons, the students hurried to the tower. The other little wizards are free to roam around, but compared to the previous entertainment, wizards are playing chess or chatting and playing.
Today, many young wizards returned to their dormitories after eating, put on a hat with their fellow dormitories, and silently recited "Login" in their hearts.
It turns out that Pandora, which Rick gave him, succeeds in making them a mystery in the game.
Most of the students returned to the dorms, which caused the corridors of Hogwarts Castle to become extremely deserted, with the occasional ghostly ghost roaming the corridors, giving them an eerie aura.
However, this is like a scene in a horror movie, and it can no longer intimidate the young wizards who have been in school for more than a year.
......
After shaking off the haunting Peeves, the three second-year Gryffindor wizards went around and around to finally find their destination.
The three stood outside a professor's lounge, looking at the closed door. They glanced at each other, and finally the boy standing in the middle pulled the brass ring from the metal snake's head on the door......
Knock knock!
"Professor Graves, I'm Harry. I've brought Hermione and Ron to meet you. ”
After reporting their home, the three of them were nervous at the same time, they were afraid of disturbing Rick's work, and even more afraid that there would be no one in the room.
Their fear was unnecessary, though, and within five seconds, Rick responded to them.
"Please come in!"
Hearing Professor Graves' voice, Harry dared to gently push the wooden door and lead Hermione and Ron into Rick's common room.
Seeing that Professor Graves was sitting in his chair and reading intently, the three of them walked softly to Rick's desk, expecting Professor Graves to put down the book in his hand and talk to them.
But they didn't expect Rick to completely ignore their existence because of a Hogwarts secret in the book.
A minute passed......
Two minutes passed......
Three......
Ten minutes later, looking at Professor Graves, who had been reading, the three of them were a little impatient, and they hesitated to step forward to remind him that there were three outsiders in the room.
It's a pity that the three of them didn't have the first to speak, maybe they didn't dare, maybe they didn't want to reduce their favorability in front of Rick, so in the small lounge, the four of them were silent, and for the three of Harry, the situation was extremely embarrassing.
"Good evening, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Granger girls. Really sorry! It's been a long time for you to wait, the professor has a problem, it's easy to ignore everything around him when he's too focused. Sit down!"
With that, Rick picked up the wand on the table and waved it three times behind Harry, and then the carpet under their feet changed, and a chair grew behind each of them.
Transfiguration!
Although he is not proficient, he is still very handy in the transformation of some items in daily life.
"Good evening, Professor Graves." ×3
The delicate Hermione had already discovered that the book Professor Graves was reading was "Hogwarts, a History of the School", and Hermione couldn't help but feel a little happy to see her idol actually reading the books she had read.
"Professor, thank you for getting me to the university hospital. I heard Harry say that it was my own wand that caused the spell to kick back, and that you helped me get rid of the slugs from my body. Thank you so much. ”
Ron sat on the chair and moved his butt a few times, and when he found that the chair was very comfortable, he happily sent Harry a look, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to see that Harry didn't notice his eye contact.
However, he didn't forget the purpose of his follow, so he turned to look at Rick and thanked him for saving him.
"Mr. Weasley, you're fine, don't worry too much about that. When your professors, in addition to educating you about and educating you on how to behave, of course will keep you safe and let you thrive. ”
"Thank you, Professor Graves. If my mother hears this, she will forget the author named Lockhart and make you her idol. ”
"Professor Graves, Ron didn't mean that..."
Hearing Ron compare Professor Graves to Lockhart, Harry was afraid that Rick would misunderstand, so he hurriedly covered Ron's mouth and explained to Rick.
However, Rick didn't care if Ron's analogy was appropriate, and he was very sincere when he said it. Rick waved his hand at Harry to reassure him that he hadn't misunderstood Ron.
"It sounds like your mother is a very interesting elder, you can get to know it if you have the chance. However, Ron, Professor I have one very important thing to tell you, and that is that if you want to use the spell normally in the future, it's best to get a new wand.
Your wand is now broken, and the unicorn hair inside it is no longer able to channel your spell power well. If you're going to continue to use this wand, then I'm sure this spell backlash will continue to happen to you today. ”
Through chatting with Hagrid and other professors, Rick also remembered that although the Weasleys were one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans, they belonged to a "very poor" pure-blood wizarding family in comparison.
In Rick's opinion, they just don't know how to manage money, and as long as they have a little money, they spend it.
Rick seems to vaguely remember two scenes, one is that Harry follows the Weasleys to their underground vault, and when the door to the vault opens, Harry discovers that there is only one gold Galleon in the Weasley family's vault, or that there is no gold Galleon but Sico......
Another scene shows that after winning the lottery, the Weasleys took the whole family to Egypt with most of the gold galleons to visit their eldest son and travel......
"Alright, Professor Graves, I'll consider your suggestion carefully."
When Rick asks him to buy a new wand, Ron's face becomes a little complicated, he himself wants a new wand, but the family doesn't have enough money.
Rick looked at Ron, who was looking bitter, and complained a few words about the bad habits of the Weasleys.
"I know that you have a lot of brothers, even your sister entered Hogwarts today, and the family's funds should be relatively tight, and it is impossible to take out seven gold Galleons to buy you a new wand at once, right?"
"Hmm..."
Having already said that Ron should buy a new wand, Rick couldn't possibly put his poor bastard in the perennial "Moonlight Clan" in distress.
There is a good saying, help people to the end, and send Buddha to the West.
It was impossible for Rick to give or lend him seven gold Galleons, which were already a huge fortune for Ron. He wouldn't take it, and as a member of Gryffindor, he wasn't destined to accept Rick's handouts.
So Rick still has his plan B.
