Chapter 195 Brothers and Sisters
Since it was the weekend, there were many people in Gryffindor Tower.
Gryffindors gathered together in twos and threes, playing wizard chess, exchanging wizard cards, or complaining about the troubles the Aurors brought to their lives.
At this moment, Michelle walked in with John.
In just a moment, the already noisy Gryffindor common room fell silent.
Everyone looked at John with their mouths wide open.
The expression on his face was dull at first, and then became tense.
"John Shafiq!" Percy stood up suddenly, "Are you here again?"
John said calmly:
"As far as I know, Hogwarts does not stipulate that students from different houses cannot visit each other."
Percy didn't hear what John was saying at all and said loudly:
"You are alone now! We are not afraid of you!"
John pursed his lips and looked at Percy expressionlessly.
Under that cold gaze, Percy's face turned redder and redder, but he didn't dare to say any harsh words.
On the contrary, many Gryffindors who were originally very nervous stood up and faced John from a distance.
"I invited John here!"
Michelle quickly stepped between John and Percy and began to explain the reason.
After hearing what she said, the Gryffindors all breathed a sigh of relief.
Brave Gryffindors are naturally not afraid of fighting.
Even if John really brought a group of Slytherins to attack the Gryffindor Tower like last year, the Gryffindors would pick up their wands and fight with the Slytherins.
But it’s better not to fight if you can.
After all, John is really strong!
But at this time, Percy said with a cold face:
"This is Gryffindor's internal business. We don't need you, a Slytherin, to meddle in our own business!"
"But it turns out that you didn't handle it well." John sneered, "Otherwise, the matter wouldn't have reached me, right?"
"That's just because I don't know about it yet!"
Percy shouted, "If I had known earlier, I would have reconciled Ron and Hermione! It would have been easy for me!"
"Hehehe..."
John chuckled, and as he did so, he made a 'please' gesture to Percy.
Seeing this, Percy gritted his teeth and walked directly towards the dormitory area.
John and Michelle followed.
The three of them arrived directly at Ron's dormitory with Gryffindors watching.
At this time, Ron was the only one sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a packet of butter biscuits - Scabbers' favorite food.
Seeing the arrival of John and others, Ron still had no reaction.
Percy sat down next to Ron unceremoniously, put his arm around Ron's shoulder and said:
"Don't be sad, Ron, it's just a mouse. Don't let it hurt the feelings between friends. I hope you and Hermione can get back together, okay?"
Ron turned his head stiffly and looked at him, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that Percy would say such a thing.
Seeing this, Percy took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Ron, haven't you always wanted an owl? When the summer vacation comes, I will give you ten galleons and let you go to Diagon Alley and buy another owl. What do you think?"
Ron finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared loudly at Percy:
"My Scabbers is more than just a mouse! Oh my god! Percy! I can't believe you would say such a thing! You know Scabbers was once your pet!"
"Don't talk to me in that tone!" Ron contradicted him in front of John, which made Percy blush even more, "I'm your brother!"
"So what? Get out of here!"
Ron yelled and smashed the biscuit in his hand directly onto Percy's head.
Percy was going crazy.
He glared at Ron fiercely, and then ran away under John's half-smiling gaze.
This scene made John very happy.
Ron still felt uneasy and looked at John and Michelle with red eyes.
But considering the consequences of throwing things at John and Michelle, he finally sat back on the window edge and said gloomily:
"You guys should go too and stop being a lobbyist for Hermione. It's useless and I won't forgive her!"
Michelle was a little anxious after hearing this, but John stopped her and said:
"Are you really determined to break up with Hermione and never have any contact with her again?"
Ron nodded heavily and said:
"Yes!"
"In that case, there is really nothing to talk about." John shrugged his shoulders and said, "Michelle and I will leave now and tell Hermione what you mean.
You two should stop interacting with each other from now on, just treat each other as transparent.
Relax, it's not as difficult as you think.
The world is a big place, it’s just one missing friend, it’s not a big deal. "
After saying that, John turned around and left.
This confused Michelle.
Ron was even more confused than Michelle.
Wasn't John the lobbyist who wanted to get them to reconcile?
Why do you want to help them break off their relationship in the first place?
Ron stood up almost subconsciously, trying to stop John.
The next moment, he saw John turned around again and looking at him with a smile.
"You... are you kidding me?!"
Ron raised his voice.
John smiled and pushed Ron back to the edge of the bed, then sat down next to him and said:
"Look, you still care about Hermione as a friend. This means there is still more to talk about."
Ron lowered his head angrily, determined not to talk to John again.
John continued with a smile:
"A pet like a rat is actually not suitable to be kept in Hogwarts. After all, it is full of dangers. It faces life-threatening danger at every moment."
As soon as he said this, Ron immediately broke the oath he had just made, raised his head and said:
"why would you say so?"
John pretended to be surprised and said:
"Don't you know? Not just cats, owls also love to eat mice. And there are so many owls in Hogwarts that they stay in the Owl Tower.
If they see your spots, I dare say they will swoop down without hesitation..."
John did not continue speaking, but made a gnawing gesture.
This made Ron's whole body tremble violently.
"Please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to say that Scabbers might have been taken by an owl, because it sounds like I'm making excuses for Hermione."
John smiled and said, “I’m just telling you another fact.
Also, I'm guessing the reason you're so angry isn't just because Crookshanks ate Scabbers.
Is it more because of Hermione's attitude? "
Ron couldn't help but rub his red eyes, trying to wipe away the tears that were welling up.
Then he said in a slightly hoarse tone:
"You are absolutely right, John. The cat showed its intention to eat Scabbers from the moment it was brought back, but Hermione never took it seriously and never bothered to observe it carefully. That weird cat!
Until now, she still thinks that cat is innocent!
The presence of cat hair can only mean that the cat has been in our dormitory, but there is no way to prove that it ate Banban! "
"But you want to stay friends with Hermione, don't you?"
Ron didn't speak.
Seeing this, John continued:
"What do you think of an apology? Would you be able to forgive Hermione if she apologized to you?"
"Not just to me!" Ron said, "She also has to apologize to Scabbers!"
"Of course, but it will take some time to settle. You know, Hermione is a proud person."
John smiled and said, "You also need to relax. Come on, Ron, come with us for a walk.
The Aurors locked us up for a whole holiday, and then you locked yourself up for weeks.Damn it, you're going to get moldy if you don't go out in the sun! "
After saying that, John stood up and took Michelle out of the dormitory.
Ron hesitated for a moment and followed.
This startled Percy, who had been waiting at the door to observe the situation.
Seeing Ron obediently following John, he was so angry that he almost broke his back molars.
"I'm your brother!" Percy said fiercely, "Ron, Ron! You have become a traitor! You would rather listen to outsiders than to me!"
Hearing this, Ron turned his head and glared at Percy with a disdainful expression.
What is the level of John the Man’s mediation?
What's your level of mediation, Percy?
How dare you say such things?
