Ron's Strange Behavior

"How could you spy on me?" followed by a barrage of complaints from Ron.

Ginny responded with biting sarcasm, "I remember Fred and George helped you sell that Smoke Bomb in the first place, didn't they?"

How did you

I seriously doubt you got into Ravenclaw by luck.

At the Hog's Head Pub, where no one else can see your face, you, with your bright red hair and your face clearly visible, loudly discuss your little scheme.

Who wouldn't hear your conversation?

There were even harsher words, Harry had subconsciously forgotten.

As a result, even after returning to Hogwarts, Ron still refused to say a single word to Harry and Ginny.

Harry suspected that Ron's continued silence towards them was largely due to Ginny's words.

Date: Friday, September 10th.

Standing on the lawn by the Black Lake, Harry stared speechlessly at Ron, who was a dozen feet away from him.

Harry didn't understand Ron at all.

It was such a small thing, and it turned out like this.

Just like Harry couldn't understand why Ron had dragged out the misunderstanding between Ron and Krum for so long when it could have been resolved with a single letter.

During this time, Ron continued to stay by Harry's side as usual.

But they maintained a distance of about ten feet.

And aside from offering him food, he hardly said a word to Harry.

Draco and Neville also thought Ron was too strange.

In dealing with this matter.

In the days when Ron didn't speak to him, even the usually colorful lessons seemed a bit boring.

Professor McGonagall's cat-like appearance in the Transfiguration class did not move him.

Even Professor Riddle's PowerPoint presentation about a nuclear bomb exploding in Japan during Defense Against the Dark Arts couldn't surprise him.

Even during his Divination Class, when Professor Trelawney Prophecy his third possible way of dying, he did not refute it.

It wasn't until now that Harry realized how important Ron was to him.

Just like today, right now, by the lawn, in front of Hagrid, Harry is still staring at Ron, lost in thought.

"Today we're going to learn about the Knarl."

I think some of you have already noticed— your Fang have turned white.

As for why the Fang were made like this...

"Hmm, Harry? You answer." Hagrid called his name.

Harry then came to his senses.

He then realized he was in class.

Beside Hagrid, a stunted Pigwidgeon was grunting and whining as it peered into the flowerbed.

It has long legs, a short, thick tail, and squinty black eyes.

And opposite it is Fang?

Fang that have been stained white.

Since he couldn't hear what Hagrid was asking, Harry could only choose, "It's called Knarl, native to: Europe, Russia, and the America."

It belongs to the category (capable wizards can handle it) in the classification table.

The Knarl sneaks into the pigpen, nurses alongside the Pigwidgeon, and brings disaster to the farm.

The longer the Knarl lies dormant, the longer the outbreak of disease will last on the farm.

At the same time, the Knarl moves very quickly and is difficult to catch.

The only way to keep it from returning to the farm is to chase it away with a pure white dog.

To address this issue, the Pest Advisory of the Department of Department of Magical Creature Management and Control at the Ministry of Magic has specially bred about ten albino hunting dogs.

"Harry? You didn't hear my question, did you?" Hagrid asked, looking puzzled.

He clearly asked why the Fang should turn white.

Harry, however, answered questions about the place of origin, habits, dangers, and treatment methods.

He was met with a look of disappointment mixed with doubt in Hagrid's eyes.

Harry remained silent.

Ron, who was not far away, trembled slightly.

Then, in the Care of Magical Creatures Class, Harry didn't get any extra points for answering a question for the first time.

On the way back to the castle after class, a voice rang out, "Harry, you disappointed Hagrid because of me, didn't you?"

I've just been feeling embarrassed these past few days.

I'm sorry to tell you I was wrong.

I actually know you're not spying on me.

I was just too nervous.

The pressure of negotiating a business deal for the first time was immense.

Then they vented their negative emotions on you.

Then, the two dramatically reconciled.

Of course, before making up, Harry also made some conditions to Ron.

One of these things involved writing a letter to Krum to explain things clearly.

Ron agreed.

However, everything seemed unchanged.

Harry was very puzzled by this.

However, he had no time to doubt.

Because it's Saturday.

The course concerning the Triwizard Tournament thus began.

Alchemy class from 10 to 11 o'clock.

As before, they were divided into three teams according to grade.

From first to Third Year, students learn how to process iron and cotton.

Fourth and fifth graders then combined their previous creations to create a ball of yarn with a metallic appearance. Of course, they all used the Scott Pot, an alchemical tool.

The sixth and seventh graders were responsible for translating the spells into Ancient Runes.

This time, the spell is Slowing Charm.

A spell to slow down the falling speed of an object.

However, this time, the students are no longer responsible for inputting the Ancient Runes.

The participation score is calculated by dividing the number of metallic products with a ball-of-your-mouth appearance by the number of people.

In the end, Beauxbatons came in first place.

Then came Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Castelobruxo.

The Hufflepuff won the House Points, earning 50 extra points.

She looked like she was about to cry when Professor Sprout came out.

She never imagined that her college could also achieve such success.

At 1 p. m., it will be time for the Group Potion class.

The professor for this class was replaced by that witch who looked like she was not to be trifled with.

Naifencio Valkanova, the principal of Castelobruxo.

As for what everyone does in this class, it's similar to what you did in the last class.

The only difference is that the Potions ingredients have been changed to toad eggs.

The spell was changed to Levitation Charm.

During the War Magic class, which was changed to 4 PM, all four schools completed the tasks assigned the previous week.

The professor is still Dumbledore.

He laid out what needed to be done in this class—practicing the first incantation.

The two teams of students with adjacent incantations gathered together and tried to recite the incantations in order.

Once all the words have been recited and the magic resonates, it signifies success.

By the time class ended, Harry observed that only about a dozen people at Hogwarts had succeeded.

In other schools, due to the limited number of students, roughly half of the applicants succeeded.

Then Dumbledore arranged for everyone to go down and practice.

The War Magic course ended at just 6 o'clock.

It's time for dinner.

At this point, Harry was finally able to ask the question that had been bothering him—why was Krum still behaving the same as before?

Then, Lavender turned his head and said, "Krum wrote to me."

In the letter, she apologized to me, saying that she had pursued me without knowing I had a boyfriend.

"So, he was afraid that Ron was pursuing him before."

"I'm too embarrassed to face Ron right now." Harry looked toward Durmstrang's table, where Krum had just been sitting.

How could Krum and Ron make such a big deal out of such a small thing?
