When a wizard who should have shaken his magic wand suddenly picked up a sharp blade, he might wave to the enemy like Godric Gryffindor or Harry Potter, but not always.

It was like Mr. Ron Weasley standing in front of Hermione at this time. He saw his dagger coming out of the short sheath, his robe sleeve rising in the air, and the cold flash of the blade.

Then the next moment, with a snort, the blade was buried in his thigh.

For a moment, the dark depth that had occupied his eyes retreated again.

"Ron... Ron, what are you doing --"

"Don't come here."

Ron, who has been exhausted since just now, has obviously become weaker now. But when Hermione wanted to get close to him, he took a step back and raised his hand to stop the other party's behavior.

"I'm fine, but... It almost succeeded."

Ron leaned against the wall post, gasped and glanced up when he said the word "it". After that, he suddenly pulled out the dagger inserted in his thigh. Although he brought some blood, he didn't care about it.

He continued:

"Hermione, you're smart, you know... It's a devil. That guy said he wanted to give me strength... Hey, to tell you the truth, it's tempting! I especially lack this... Unfortunately, I dare not."

At this point, he seemed really sorry, but he shook his head after all.

Maybe he shook his head and felt a little dizzy. He suddenly put the dagger in his hand back into his leg, and then bared his teeth and continued:

"Hiss... Forget it, there's no time to say this... Anyway, I came to tell you, be careful of that devil! It will bewitch people like me who are not firm in heart."

"Bewitching"... Well, this is my negligence. I should have thought of it long ago. "

Hermione looked at him and stabbed himself in the leg again. She frowned slightly. Ron used this way to strengthen his recovery ability from the ashes of the Phoenix, which she also knows - this kind of thing is too many to hide, and Ron didn't want to hide it.

However, Hermione didn't like to see him do such self mutilation after all.

As for the "bewitching" mentioned by Ron... Hermione really doesn't know much, but she at least knows something about the bewitching monument. Since it is "arrogance" that appears in the air at the moment, Ron's situation now seems not so puzzling.

However, as Hermione said, as the commander-in-chief of the stronghold, she didn't think of this possibility when preparing the enemy plan. It was really her mistake.

"Ron, you stay here for a moment - I'll let someone see you - I'll get miss Geoffrey right now. She may be able to help you."

"No, don't..."

Ron subconsciously raised his hand to hold Hermione, but he seemed to forget that the dagger in his hand was still inserted in his thigh. Suddenly I felt another pain in my leg. Then I saw that I stretched out to Hermione's hand and held a bloody blade. I quickly took it back.

But Hermione was stopped by his hand.

"Don't waste time on me. It's the most tense time of the war."

Ron listened to the continuous explosion outside and thrust the dagger back. With another pain, his head was awake again.

"And... You don't know," he said, "just now at home, 'it' tried to tempt me to attack Ginny and Hannah... It scared me to death... I didn't dare, I didn't dare to stay more... I just came to tell you about it. Then, I'll find a place where I can't see anyone and stay honest. I can't help but prick my thighs..."

As he spoke, he propped himself up and turned to leave along the way he came. But before he took two steps, two pairs of familiar shoes immediately came into his slightly lowered eyes.

"Well," said Ron, looking up at the two figures standing just behind him at the door. "Ginny... Hannah, did you... Hear me?"

Yes, because Ron came slowly, Ginny and Hannah had come out of the burrow when he staggered into the East Tower. While he was talking to Hermione, two girls appeared behind him.

"You can't go! How many steps can you go as you are now?"

Ginny stared at him and shouted.

"There must be more than you think."

Ron smiled at his most precious sister. The palm of his right hand, still holding the dagger, subconsciously left the handle and let the blade stick on his thigh and sway slightly with the twitch of his muscles.

It seemed that he was really afraid of being in a trance, and the sharp blade "went to Ginny's neck".

"Get out of the way! Ginny... Trust me for once, won't you?"

Ron pulled at the corner of his mouth and showed an ugly smile again.

But Ginny still held Hannah's hand against the door, her thin lips closed tightly, and her eyes stared hard at Ron's face.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Hermione's voice finally rang from behind Ron.

"Ginny, Hannah... Let him down!"

Nowadays, Hermione's words are probably the most useful in the team. Even Safina, brova and others who are the most difficult to speak are not likely to reject her suggestions.

Ginny, after a moment's hesitation, gave way to Hannah, but her eyes were still fiercely staring at Ron.

This is Ginny's basic performance when she is extremely "concerned" about herself. Of course, Ron can't be more clear and used to it.

"Be careful... Of course, with your willpower, you don't have to rely on death like me."

Looking at Ron's back dragging away outside the door, Hermione and Ginny looked at each other. In fact, they could see the worry in each other's eyes.

However, what Ron just said is right. At present, there is really no time to waste.

"Changed the formation?" Hermione withdrew her eyes, looked out of the lookout, and then said, "Thanks to you, the barrier has stabilized temporarily, but we still can't determine when it will last. Maybe half an hour, maybe the next second... Anyway, Ginny, take Hannah there to help repair the damaged output array on the tower! How long can it last, how long..."

Although I am worried about Ron's state, the priority now is the defense of the stronghold. If the stronghold is broken too early, it will be the worst outcome.
