In the auditorium, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ron and Hermione watched Harry's receding back, but neither of them spoke.
After a long time, Ron said with a sense of enlightenment, "Harry has always been like this, blindly trusting others, and he always puts things on the bright side."
Ron turned to Hermione, looking expectantly.
"Like Harry, I also believe in Ivan." Hermione repeated, "He has done a lot of things to prove that he is different from the evil dark wizard"
"I believe him too, we all believe him!" Ron said angrily, he waved the tableware in his hand vigorously, "I know, Ivan is very powerful, he has done a lot of great things, I can't do it in my life Yes. But the problem now is that he is just an ordinary person, and he may not be able to resist the temptation of power. Those evil black magic is much more powerful than ordinary magic, maybe this is why he is so powerful. You understand me mean, Hermione?"
The more Ron talked, the more he felt that there was such a possibility. If Aiwen hadn't studied black magic, how could he explain that his magic power was far superior to that of young wizards of the same age.
Aiwen was just an ordinary Muggle, and he had never been exposed to magic before coming to Hogwarts. If it wasn't for some special reasons, he couldn't have become so powerful all of a sudden, even surpassing all pure-blood wizards.
Ron didn't deny that Ivan worked very hard, but he should be similar to Hermione at most, not so much beyond everyone.
It was so unnatural that he must be secretly learning the dark arts of evil. Thinking of this possibility, Ron felt that it was more unfair than his aversion and fear of black magic itself. In his opinion, Ivan seemed to be cheating by doing so.
Alvin deceived others and got what he shouldn't have.
Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help breathing a little harder. After being rescued by Ivan last semester, he originally planned to give up all unrealistic ideas, and decided to regard Ivan as his true friend just like Harry and Hermione.
But when he thought that Aiwen might be studying black magic, everyone was blinded by it, and he got everything now because of this reason, Ron felt very uncomfortable in his heart. An idea keeps appearing in my mind, if I also study black magic, maybe I am not much worse than Aiwen now.
Powerful strength, great fame, admiration from others, supreme glory, and Hermione's relationship
Things that were originally out of reach suddenly have shortcuts, and you can reach them as long as you stretch out your hand.
A trace of longing rose in Ron's heart, and then he shook his head vigorously, telling himself repeatedly that he would not do this.
He is different from Ivan, he will not degenerate to study evil black magic, this kind of thing should be absolutely forbidden.
Hearing Ron's words, Hermione didn't answer, she shook her head blankly.
"I mean, Ivan may also make mistakes." Ron was very dissatisfied with Hermione's reaction, he frowned and continued, "We must be careful. Good to take action."
"What do you want?" Hermione looked a little scared.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but at least he should be stopped, and then the matter will be published, so that everyone knows what he is doing. It's fair, isn't it?"
"Listen to me, Ron!" Hermione took a deep breath and said with determination, "If you want to ask other people's opinions on this matter, I don't think it's worthwhile for Evan to study black magic. It's a big fuss, and other people probably think so, which is the main reason why no one believes that ridiculous rumor. We all know what kind of person Ivan is. He studies those magics not for use, but for improving his strength , to deal with the powerful enemy in the future."
"What a noble reason, what enemy does he need to face?!" Ron said disdainfully, "Peter Pettigrew has been arrested, this is Hogwarts, with Dumbledore here, how could there be any enemy?" .”
"Have you forgotten the prophecy that Ivan told us during the Christmas holiday a few days ago?!" Hermione said, "Voldemort will return, and with the help of a chosen one, he will become Stronger than ever."
"You mean the prophecy made by Professor Trelawney, I thought you never believed in such things?!" Ron waved his hand indifferently, "We all know that she must be lying again, deliberately scaring Ai Wen, to make Christmas a little more exciting."
"Professor Trelawney is a liar, but it cannot be denied that she may make a real prophecy." Hermione continued, trying to persuade Ron, "In addition to this incident, Ivan also mentioned that the four founders of the school The secret treasures left by people, they must have known what was going to happen, so they left something on purpose."
"It's just that Aiwen himself said that he has seen it, or if he went back to a thousand years ago, no one can guarantee that this is true." Ron said stubbornly, "Even if the four founders really left some magic items, can they It is also a problem that it cannot function normally, after all, after such a long time, any kind of magic should be invalid!"
"But Aiwen said that in the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest"
"Don't change the subject, Hermione, we are discussing that Ivan is conducting research on black magic, and this has nothing to do with the Big Four or the centaur in the Forbidden Forest." Ron looked at Hermione expectantly Said, "Come with me to find evidence, Hermione, I am sure that Ivan is conducting research on black magic, we can expose him together, I feel that I am close to the truth."
"No, no matter what happens, I believe in Ivan!" Hermione repeated again, her voice extremely firm.
There is no need for any evidence. Ivan has already told her about what Ron said, and she has also made a decision.
"I know, I believe him too!" Ron stood up directly, and said violently, "I really understand, what is going on with you two?! Looking at you and Harry, it seems that I did something wrong again. It’s the same. I’m just reminding you out of kindness that if you’re not careful, you might regret it in the future.”
Attracted by Ron's shout, everyone in the auditorium turned their heads to look at him in surprise, wondering what happened and what he was talking about.
Feeling everyone's eyes, Ron sat down with a blushing face, and his ears were also very red, looking as red as bricks.
After a few seconds, seeing Hermione's unchanged gaze, he was like a deflated balloon and said feebly, "Well, maybe you're right, I'm just being too sensitive. You know, because When it comes to black magic, I wish I could be more careful."
"I understand what you mean, Ron!" Hermione patted Ron on the shoulder and comforted him, "We really should be careful, and I will persuade Ivan. But I still say that, I believe him , he promised me that he would never let me down."
The corner of the Gryffindor table fell silent again. Neither Ron nor Hermione spoke, and they finished their breakfast in silence.
Both of them seemed to have something on their minds, and they didn't know what they were thinking. (.)
