Chapter 444：

When Astoria said these words, she was like a fairy bathed in the holy light in Malfoy's eyes.

"As long as it is a gift you give me, it is unique and cherished."

Rank, what is rank!

Malfoy's originally upset mood improved instantly, and he glanced at Daphne with great dignity.

At that moment, John could feel that Daphne wanted to hang Malfoy up.

In the afternoon, John saw the second big show.

As expected, Brace was rejected, and Dean, who was in a bad mood, rushed forward to fight again.

Two people were imprisoned at the same time.

Ginny didn't seem to care about her boyfriend.

…

John also made many modifications to Hagrid's armor.

The engraving on it covers one third of it, and Graup can no longer knock it.

After these days of beatings, Graup's arm has become a big punch.

When Zuowu chased the fur ball played by Graup, he had to run wildly to catch it before it hit the ground.

After testing the hardness of the armor, John estimated that it would not be a big problem in blocking the blows of a dozen giants.

The points competition between Slytherin and Gryffindor gradually stabilized.

Slytherin returned to first place, with Hagrid providing a lot of strength.

After all, John was doing 'extended practice' with him. As a professor, Hagrid always had to show off, and the extra points were particularly refreshing.

Occasionally Professor Runes and Professor Alchemy will also contribute.

The two advanced runes translated by John received 30 points, and Alchemy gained an exaggerated 50 points.

Percy sent a message to thank John for the emerald potion that made Mrs. Weasley recover.

Fleur wanted to meet John, and they agreed to meet at the Pig's Head Tavern.

We can meet up until the next time we go to Hogsmeade.

John was fully prepared for Hogwarts, and he set his sights on the Black Lake again.

He has not forgotten the giant octopus that has lived for a thousand years under the black lake.

When the weather was still cold, he re-entered the icy black lake.

With the arrival of March.

The weather has not changed much, it is humid and windy.

On the shore of the lake at Hogwarts, Malfoy and Neville competed again.

The trip to Hogsmeade has also arrived.

John is preparing to go to an appointment with Fleur.

Chapter 468 A miserable birthday

Katie Bell returned to the Gryffindor Quidditch team after an injury caused her to miss a lot of training.

This also means that Ron will be replaced.

Ron was a little disappointed after hearing the news.

Ron said: "It's my birthday."

The birthday I was looking forward to was full of expectations, but I got some not-so-good news.

Harry comforted him and said, "It's okay Ron, we can go to Hogsmeade to celebrate his birthday."

"Unfortunately," Seamus said, shaking his head, "Hogsmeade is cancelled."

"No way? Oh my god!" Ron wailed.

The spot is gone, so I can’t go to Hogsmeade yet.

This is a really bad birthday.

What's even worse is the boring Apparition class. Basically no one succeeds, and some people split up and howl in terror.

The three ‘Ds’ were as if they were being read into the mind by Tycros, and resistance spread among the students.

Entering March, Harry wished Ron: "Happy birthday, Ron, I'll give you a gift."

Ron was still asleep and responded vaguely.

There was already a small pile of packages on Ron's bed, which must have been delivered by the house elves at night.

Ron got up to open the presents, but he was not in high spirits.

But he was soon attracted by the big gold watch given by his parents and screamed.

"This year is really a bumper harvest!" He suddenly felt that his birthday was really good, and he would become an adult again next year.

Mr. Weasley has been promoted, so naturally he cannot give his son a shabby coming-of-age gift.

Although this big gold watch is not pure gold, it is still valuable.

Ron got off to a good start at the beginning, which made him look forward to more gifts later.

He tore open the packages one by one, and unknowingly opened them all.

He saw a box of chocolate cauldrons on the ground, thinking he had dropped them, so he picked them up and opened them.

Putting a piece of chocolate cauldron into his mouth, he looked at Harry worrying about something and asked vaguely: "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about the mission Dumbledore gave me." Harry regretted, "After Snape comes back, I won't have much chance to see Slughorn."

"Nonsense," Ron said depressedly as he ate the second piece of chocolate cauldron, "Can't you join that slug club?"

"Yeah, but I don't really like it..." Harry muttered.

Speaking of the Slug Club, there were two more after Christmas.

But Harry didn't go there. He was a little afraid that Slughorn would suddenly ask him questions and he wouldn't be able to answer them.

Just like the train party at the beginning of school, he was not going to be a source of conversation and laughter for Malfoy and the others.

Especially seeing Blaise being so courteous to Ginny at the party would make him want to put a curse on Blaise.

He sat on the bed and picked up the Marauder's Map and read it. Slughorn often stayed in the office.

​It’s the same this time.

Even if Harry wanted to go there, there was no reason.

It was almost time for Apparition class. Harry got out of bed and got dressed. He looked back at Ron and asked, "Are you ready?"

Harry didn't notice that the chocolate cauldron that Ron ate was not among his birthday gifts.

When he was about to reach the door of the dormitory, Harry found that Ron hadn't come over yet.

He turned around suspiciously and saw Ron leaning on the bedpost, staring at the rain-washed window.

There was a confused and weird expression on his face, like a lost lamb.

If you look carefully, you can see something hidden in his melancholy eyes like an artistic youth.

"Ron, it's time for breakfast." Harry reminded him that the time was almost up.

"I'm not hungry."

Harry looked very strange when he heard the answer.

Being full after eating only one box of chocolate cauldron is not in line with the character of Ron Weasley, the Gryffindor king.

Harry stared at him, "Are you full?"

"Oh, okay, I'll go down with you," Ron sighed resentfully, as if Harry had disturbed him, "but I don't want to eat."

His infatuated and blaming tone gave Harry goosebumps. He looked at Ron hesitantly and found the half box of chocolate cauldrons on the bed.

"You ate half the box of Chocolate Crucible, didn't you?"

"That's not the case," Ron sighed again, which made Harry a little irritable. He said sadly, "You... you don't understand."

I don’t understand anything. I don’t understand the value of a Gryffindor like you?

Harry didn't want to talk to him anymore about the Riddler, so he turned around and opened the door.

"Harry!"

"What?"

Ron shouted, making Harry jump.

Ron looked like someone who overdosed on strange substances in some movies and TV shows, saying with a painful look on his face: "Harry, I can't stand it anymore!"

"What can't you stand?" Harry was dumbfounded.

"I can't miss her!" Ron said in a hoarse voice.

"Her?" Harry was stunned. Who is she?

Aren’t you single? When did she become the new one?

There is only one question in Harry's mind, can we go to the Great Hall to eat properly?

"I don't think she knows I exist." Ron began his one-man show, leaving Harry waving his hands to prevent him from saying anything.

"Who is she?" Harry collapsed. What happened to Ron today?

Ron used a voice that was so soft that it was disgusting, and said affectionately: "Romilda Vanni."

When he said these words, Ron seemed to be penetrated by a ray of pure sunshine, looking so infatuated.

Harry and Ron looked at each other for nearly a minute, and Harry confirmed again and again that the name Ron said was not a name he was familiar with.

As if he was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food, he said uncertainly: "Are you kidding me?"

"I think I love her." It was still the same voice. Ron turned into a lover after eating a chocolate cauldron?

Harry took a deep breath. He felt that Ron was deliberately playing tricks on him.

"Okay, okay, say it again seriously."

Harry swore that if Ron said anything about whether he loved or not, he would definitely leave!

However, Ron didn't feel ashamed at all, and said with bated breath, "I love her. Have you seen her hair? It's black and shiny..."

Harry kept his word and sneered: "It's so funny. This is the best joke I've ever heard. Now, stop making trouble."

He turned around and left, but was punched in the ear.

Harry became angry, turned around, took out his wand and used a fuchsia.

The silent spell he learned this school year came in handy, and Ron was immediately hung up.

Harry shouted with a 'how dare you hit me' expression: "Why?"

"You insulted her! You said it was a joke!" Ron was not being honest while being hung.

Harry finally noticed something was wrong. He looked sharply at the chocolate cauldron, and it seemed more and more familiar to him.

Finally he recognized it. Wasn't this what Romilda Vanni had given to him before Christmas?

When I was looking for the Marauder's Map just now, I threw it out. Harry didn't eat it because Hermione said it might have been laced with a love potion.

Seeing Ron's behavior, Harry shuddered. If Ginny saw him like this, he would be willing to die.

Ignoring Ron who was shouting Romilda, Harry said with a headache: "Okay, I have to find someone to treat you..."

Harry paused. He remembered the four cauldrons from the first Potions class. Slughorn must have a solution.

Just as he said, Harry took Ron, who was still calling Romilda's name, to the principal's office.
