Chapter 63: 63
Chapter 63 Ron was tricked into growing up
Lam Ha accompanied her parents to Hogsmeade for a day, and returned to Hogwarts on Sunday evening when nighttime travel was about to be banned.
Go when your hands are empty, come when your hands can't catch the gift.
After passing the Hogwarts security check, Lam Ha put all these gifts into a small leather bag.
Going to the Hufflepuff public lounge, Lam Ha found Ron, Hermione and Harry also there.
Ron saw Lam Ha and immediately waved his hand: "Lam Ha, Lam Ha!"
Lam Ha asked curiously: "Ron, why are you here?"
Draco and Lin Xia returned together, seeing the bright smile on his face, but actually guessed a bit, "Ron, did your twin brother finally give you money?"
Ron nodded vigorously, "I looked for them last week, they said they were still selling, they were short first, we'll talk about it after it's sold out.
Then I went to them this weekend and they said they had some inventory that hadn't been cleared out yet, and that they would sell it for three percent before they would give me a Bronze-Knut.
At that time, I couldn't bear it and said that if they continued like this, I would write a letter to my mother and tell her that no one would get the Gold-Galleon. Only then did George and Fred agree to give me the settlement money."
Ron caught the money at noon, still remembers George and Fred giving themselves money, and being angry with him.
George: "Oh, our baby Ron is still a little boy who hasn't grown up and hasn't left his mother yet, and he actually wants to file a complaint!"
Fred: "Baby Ron, is still our little brother, we are willing to accept our imperfect little brother, and acknowledge that he is still our little baby."
"So, how much money did you catch?" Draco asked to the point.
Ron coughed lightly, raised his head and puffed out his chest, and said: "I have a total of three Gold-Galleons and five Silver-Sickles in their hands, and this includes the prize money I bet!"
Harry and Hermione also heard the news from him for the first time.
Ron caught the money later, choked up and said he had to wait for Lam Ha to come back to talk.
After all, if Lam Ha hadn't given him that magazine, he wouldn't have earned this money.
The words fell, and the cheers and applause Ron had expected did not come.
He lowered his head and saw that Hermione's expression was solemn, her brows tightly furrowed, Harry was in a daze, while Lin Xia and Draco were both calm.
"How do you react?"
Ron couldn't help but ask, this was completely different from what he had expected!
Hermione muttered to herself: "Wait, you let me calculate first, I have to get a piece of scratch paper, I always feel that the value of three Gold-Galleons is not right. One Gold-Galleon is equivalent to 17 Silver-Sickles, one Silver-Sickle is equivalent to 29 Bronze-Knuts, which is also one Gold-Galleon is equivalent to ——"
Lin Xia mentally calculated and continued: "1 Gold-Galleon is equivalent to 493 Bronze-Knuts, 3 Gold-Galleons plus 5 Silver-Sickles are equivalent to 1624 Bronze-Knuts, I didn't split the winnings from the bet into other cash, I'll calculate them all together."
Hermione's eyes lit up: "That's right, it's only 1624 Bronze-Knuts, this value is far from right!"
She turned her head to look at Ron and said with a solemn oath: "Ron, you were fooled by your brother again. How could they have just sold 1624 points?
The first year wizards were almost one person in number, just the first year purchases alone were enough to sell 1624 coins (there were a total of 1800 first year people), and the other seniors also bought a lot, they absolutely didn't owe you three Gold-Galleons or more!"
Ron's eyes widened, and after a moment his face turned red, and the hot air coming out of his nostrils was filled with anger.
"I, I, I want to fight to the death with my brothers!"
Ron at this moment in his mind, only these words lingered:
"They absolutely owe you three Gold-Galleons!"
"They absolutely owe you three Gold-Galleons!"
...
Lam Ha noticed Ron's unusual emotions, pulled out his wand and quickly cast a spell on him: "Immobulus!"
Ron was about to stand up when his body suddenly became immobilized, unable to move, his expression also froze, somewhat distorted.
Lam Ha took out a bottle of medicine from the small leather bag and gave it to Harry, "Harry, Ron is not in a good mood. I will remove the immobilizer later. You immediately use the medicine to sober him up."
Harry nodded absentmindedly.
"Remove the body!"
Ron's body became active again, anger accumulated in his heart, still wanting to find trouble with his twin brother.
Harry suddenly reacted and pressed him down tightly. Seeing that he couldn't hold it down alone, Draco also stood beside him to help block Ron's arm.
In the end, Hermione still took the teacup, used her hand to cover Ron's mouth, and poured it all in.
"Cough cough!" Ron felt like his nostrils were filled with water, it was very uncomfortable, but his thinking had never been clear.
All the lingering thoughts in my mind were cleared up, and my spirit was extremely good, with the urge to read all night.
Lin Xia then said: "Ron, although we feel that your brother owes you Gold-Galleon, we also don't know how much they sold."
Hermione also explained at this time: "That's right, Ron, don't be so emotional, isn't it just a small wizarding dormitory community reading a thesis together?"
She spoke quickly, then added in a small voice: "Although I feel that this possibility is not high."
Ron's face was ugly, he said very annoyed: "You said they lied to me, and you said they didn't lie to me, everything is up to you, what do you want me to say?"
Draco frowned: "Ron, stabilize your emotions, the problem now is, we have no evidence.
If you go to your brother to cause trouble, in case they find all kinds of reasons, and can also provide corresponding evidence, then it will be you who is at fault."
Ron's expression changed, he replied unhappily: "Alright, what should I do now, is this the end of the story?"
The atmosphere was a bit quiet for a moment, Draco then spoke: "How about this, Ron, if you have time, go see some business ministers, actually these problems, as long as we sign a good agreement beforehand, can be solved."
Ron twitched the corner of his mouth, remembering the fear of being dominated by dense text, "See, read a book?"
Draco: "Don't worry, I won't let you read too profound, just read something easy to understand, and I don't expect you to be able to do business after reading the book, I just want to make you a little bit fooled."
Ron thought back and forth, still feeling very heartbroken that three Gold Galleons might not be available, his heart was filled with unwillingness and fear of reading, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll see!"
Draco immediately wrote a few books for Ron, Hermione was very interested, expressed that she also wanted to take them to read, considered as a leisure time to relax.
Her eyes slightly narrowed, and she suggested: "Ron, let's watch together, and we can also check each other out."
"Ah?" Ron was stupid, he didn't want to read books with Hermione, that was really scary.
He immediately looked towards Harry, Harry was looking at him with a confused expression.
"Harry, you come with us!"
Harry wanted to refuse, but seeing Ron's pleading expression, he ultimately could not refuse his good friend's request.
...
Lam Ha brought the gift back to the golden wooden house, thinking back to the news he had just received.
Just as Ron and the others were about to leave, Draco asked curiously, "Where's Mikel? Isn't he always staying with you guys?"
Ron's face frowned, "He's a bit strange, this weekend he suddenly said that he went to potions class before, in the basement he heard snakes making tiny sounds, but I didn't hear anything at all."
Harry also said: "I can't hear it either."
Ron: "Then he thought of dragging us to the basement to find the snake, and also thought of reporting to Snape, asking him to destroy the snake."
He had an expression as if he had eaten something disgusting, "That's Snape, he actually wants Snape's help, is he crazy?
Snape has always disliked Harry, desperately trying to take away his Gryffindor spot, I must be crazy to accompany him to find Snape!"
Ron didn't know what to think, immediately looked towards Harry: "I'm sorry, I'm not criticizing you."
Harry felt a little embarrassed and took off his glasses, rubbing them with his sleeve, "It's okay, I know Professor Snape has always disliked me, it's me who implicated Gryffindor."
