Chapter 142: Brother Conflict

Chapter 142: Brother Conflict

"He scored better on his final exams this time and got top marks in not only those major courses but also in many elective courses. It was because of this kind of performance that he got the position of Head Boy this year."

Ron didn't look much happy for Percy, instead, he was full of dissatisfaction.

"He's really too flamboyant, and he hasn't even become head boy at school yet, but he claims at home that George, Fred, Ginny and I have to listen to him. It's ridiculous that Mom still speaks in his favour as if she's proud of him."

Neville, as always, comforted from the sidelines.

"Percy senior also proved to be excellent, he has the best grades among the seniors and has always been the most observant student, if he wasn't the student's head boy this year then there wouldn't be anyone else qualified for the position."

"Of course, I know that. I'm not denying that he is excellent, but his attitude is really annoying. I guess when he becomes the head boy in the future, he will ask everyone to obey his wishes!"

At that moment, an abrupt, somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded from behind Ron.

"Am I that bad in your heart? Ron."

At the table, the second-year students all froze, then they all pretended to eat the food in front of them as if nothing was wrong, but the corner of their eyes was peeking towards the boy behind Ron who also had red hair, with glasses and a cold expression.

Ron couldn't help but shiver when he heard the voice, but he soon calmed down and turned his head to look at his third brother.

"I'm just being honest, Percy!" His face did not show any semblance of backing down, originally he showed the least respect to this one older brother in his family, although the others did not necessarily show it either.

Percy, who had the head boy's badge pinned to his chest, looked awfully scary, and the whole second-year table went silent, everyone felt uncomfortable from being looked at by him with such a gloomy gaze.

Hermione unconsciously leaned toward Jon's seat; Hanton seemed to be studying whether the pattern on his plate was exquisite; Neville wanted to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but when he opened his mouth he didn't know what to say; Lavender and Justine both kept their heads down and tried to pretend they didn't exist in the face of such an awkward situation.

The atmosphere on this side of the table even attracted the attention of the students at the other tables, and the two brothers George and Fred, who were sitting in the adjacent seats, looked this way.

Lupin's actions attracted the attention of most of Voldemort's Death Eaters, including Hogwarts' Snape and Barty Jr. all went to reinforce.

That's why Dumbledore had no way to give Jon more help, only let Kingsley and McGonagall over to pick them up, because Moody had to bring the rest of the Order of the Phoenix to assist Azkaban's prison break plan.

Finally, without any communication between the two sides of Azkaban Island and Hogwarts Castle, the prison break was successful at the same time students were rescued, through Dumbledore's arrangements.

Jon is well aware that he, Hermione and those children rescued from the castle, were indirectly assisted by Lupin and them, so just after a few days of returning to the wagon he specifically took the time to take a dozen students, including Hermione, who escaped from the castle to thank Lupin.

Lupin welcomed them gently, without half a professor's posture, and gave them a magic book on defence against dark arts, which allowed Hanton and other students' good feelings towards this professor to skyrocket, since they had only received the attitude of disdain and indifference from those professors in the castle.

In the rest of the second-year classes, Lupin appreciated Jon's talent in magic and gave him a lot of guidance in private.

However, his identity as a werewolf had not been announced yet, although most of the students on the wagon probably wouldn't care much about his identity, after all, in the current magical world, the status of "mudbloods" is no better than that of werewolves.

But perhaps because of Lupin's personal concerns, he asked people who knew about the matter to conceal it.

Every full moon, he would get off the wagon alone, to find a quiet place to drink the wolfsbane potion Lily prepared for him, and then he would wait for the transformation to end before returning the next day.

After the start of the summer holiday, he did not organize any hobby club due to this, then he taught him some knowledge about the Patronus Charm at Jon's request.
