Harry Gets NTR'd
William ultimately agreed to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic.
Shield Hat and defensive gloves can be sold in large quantities, but super defensive cloaks are only available in the Auror Office.
Now that Kingsley is in charge, he can manage things better and prevent supplies from leaking out and ending up in the hands of Death Eaters.
The three discussed for a while longer, and when they reached the Potions section, they found a group of excited girls gathered together, chattering and laughing non-stop.
They were gathered around a row of pink products, not only in a suggestive color but also in various flavors:
Strawberry, eggplant, and cucumber flavors...
But don't get me wrong, this isn't the same thing you see next to the supermarket checkout counter; it's... Amortentia.
Anne, Luna, and Ginny were also nearby. Ginny even stood on tiptoe, seemingly very curious about the thing.
The three of them huddled together and started whispering among themselves.
Ginny asked softly, "Will it work?"
"It should work, but this wasn't made by my brother, so the effect only lasts for a maximum of twenty-four hours," Anne whispered.
"Of course, it also depends on the boy's weight and the girl's attractiveness."
Ginny's eyes darted around, and she put her arm around Anne, asking, "Do you know how to make it?"
Anne glanced around:
"I've never made this myself... but I've seen my brother make it, so I know the steps."
He also lied and said it was a sleeping pill.
Luna stared with her gray eyes and suddenly asked, "Who did William make this for?"
"Some female customers," Anne shrugged. "In the end, they still put it in the chocolate and then give it to him."
Sometimes, I would also help Hagrid cook.
Ginny's eyes widened, and Anne quickly explained:
Hagrid is going to breed his small animals.
Hagrid, a master of hybridization, has bred a large number of strange creatures, such as the Blast-Ended Skrewt.
But the Manticore and the Fire Crab, as the parents, were not so easily subdued.
Even if someone is in heat, they don't want an interracial relationship... Hagrid has to use some tricks.
It was all thanks to a powerful Amortentia.
Seeing Ginny's curiosity, Anne asked in return, "Do you want me to make it for you?"
Ginny tossed her hair and said, "I don't need that. I'm just curious about the taste."
"You can add a strand of my hair or Luna's, and then taste it. I don't mind," Anne joked.
The three of them burst into laughter.
Anne was smiling when she inadvertently caught sight of her brother. She immediately put on a serious face and adopted the demeanor of a good child.
William approached and asked, "What are you talking about that makes you laugh so happily?"
"It's nothing, brother! It's just something girls talk about." Anne stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it innocently.
She didn't want her brother to know that she was talking about Amortentia and even wanted to make them for Ginny.
That would probably get your legs broken.
William glanced at her, seemingly unconvinced.
As someone who had once infiltrated a group of girls in his previous life, William knew all too well that when girls chatted... their topics were often quite vulgar.
The scale was so daring that even he was speechless and exclaimed that he couldn't take it.
Sure enough, Ginny tilted her head and smiled, "We're talking about measurements, William, do you want to listen?"
Even though William was thick-skinned, he had no choice but to flee upon hearing these words.
However, George and Fred came over.
George crossed his arms and said:
"Ladies, Amortentia are not something you should be curious about."
"That's right." Fred glanced at Ginny.
"We can't sell it to our own sister."
His expression suddenly turned serious.
"Especially since she's been getting along really well with five different boys lately."
This is from...
"That's all nonsense you heard from Ron!" Ginny said calmly.
She reached down and grabbed a small pink jar from the shelf, attempting to tactically change the subject. "What's this?"
"Ten-Second Pimple Vanisher." Fred shrugged.
"It has amazing effects on boils and blackheads."
But don't change the subject. Are you dating Dean Thomas right now?
William almost burst out laughing.
Isn't that Harry's roommate?
Harry's most devoted fangirl turned around and started dating his roommate... Wouldn't that be considered NTR (Netorare, a form of infidelity)?
Indeed, women are a terrifying bunch.
"I am indeed dating Dean," Ginny said, arms crossed. "But he is definitely a boy, not five!"
George, with his brotherly concern, asked again, "So, what's the deal with Michael Corner?"
You weren't...
"I dumped him a long time ago. He had bad breath and liked to kiss," Ginny said matter-of-factly.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a reasonable reason, but..." Fred reluctantly admitted, "You change boyfriends way too often, don't you?"
Ginny turned and stared at him, her hands on her hips. The angry expression on her face was very much like Mrs. Weasley's.
"My affairs are none of your business. And also..."
Just then, Harry and Ron appeared.
Ron, still carrying a pile of merchandise, walked over to George's side.
Ginny, furious, yelled at Ron, "You despicable rumor-monger, don't you dare spread rumors about me in front of George and Fred again!"
I can date whoever I want! It's none of your business!
"I..." Ron looked guilty, like a thief caught in the act.
It was indeed he who told the twins that Ginny was dating five men.
Ginny scoffed:
"You can't find a girlfriend yourself, so you'd rather I stay single forever?!"
Many people stood around watching, pointing and commenting.
Ron's face turned bright red, and he stammered in his defense:
"I was just worried about it affecting your grades, nothing more. After all, you're only in fifth grade this year, which is the OWL year..."
Ginny glanced at Harry, then looked at Ron with disdain.
"You've been single for so many years, and yet your grades haven't been that good; you're still at the bottom, aren't you?"
"And William and Hermione started dating in third grade, but it didn't affect their studies!"
Ron was left speechless.
Ginny then looked at the twins and said, "I was indeed asking about Amortentia, but it was for Ron."
"I want to add Mrs. Norris's hair to it and give it to him."
Once he's experienced love, perhaps he won't bother me anymore.
(Bobocha: Meow meow meow? That's my Laozi!)
After Ginny finished speaking, she grabbed Anne and Luna and quickly ran away.
The atmosphere became quite awkward for a moment.
Fred's usually obedient younger sister has also started to rebel, and he's losing interest.
He looked at Ron and said, "Thirty Galleon, thirteen Sickle, and five Knut. Pay up."
"So expensive?!" Ron frowned.
"Who told you to take the expensive ones!" George retorted rudely.
"But you're my brother, Knut will waive the fee for you."
"But I don't have that Galleon!"
"Then you'd better put your things back, and remember not to put them on the wrong shelf."
"I can continue being a drug user." Ron, feeling humiliated, snapped, "Put it on my tab!"
"Sorry, you've developed drug resistance. We have a batch of cheaper patients now, so we don't need you anymore." George shrugged.
Ron: "..."
Damn, he even planned to work as a pharmacist for the rest of his life if he couldn't find a high-paying job after graduation.
He's only been doing this for two years, and he's already facing a teenage crisis?
This is way too curly!
Ron threw down several boxes, cursing under his breath, and made a rude gesture toward the twins.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Weasley happened to be there at that very moment and saw them.
"If I see you do that again, I'll cast a curse and stick all your fingers together," she said sternly.
"And... your and Harry's OWL results are in."
Ron mustered his hopes; he had estimated his score after the exam, and he had eight O's, ranking first in the college.
If he does well on the test, he can ask his mother for a reward.
But Mrs. Weasley, hands on her hips, said angrily:
"Ron, you promised eight O's, didn't you?"
But I just looked at my report card, and I didn't get a single O, plus four failed subjects.
"..."
(P. S. I never criticize Ron, so I'm not criticizing him here either.)
In the original story, he didn't have a single "O" in his name, yet he obtained seven certificates.
However, note that in the original book, Hermione provides detailed notes every year and supervises their studies during Easter.
In fifth grade, she also had various tutoring sessions.
Even so, in the original books, Harry and Ron often copied Hermione's homework.
It's a miracle that Ron didn't repeat a grade without the help of a super-achiever.
He was a complete academic failure, the kind who didn't even try. Harry himself had a deep-seated hatred, and he also followed Ron.
(Leaving aside the protagonist's halo, the two academically challenged duo are the reality.)
