Ivan pulled Hermione and ran back to the Gryffindor common room panting.
Although it was late, the common room was very lively.
Nobody was going to sleep, they were discussing the dementor attack on the Quidditch grounds.
Everyone was sad that Gryffindor had lost, but aside from the Quidditch players and a few die-hard fans, most of them put it behind them.
Anyway, as long as it is not losing to Slytherin, losing to Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff is not a particularly difficult thing to accept.
Now, they are more keen to communicate with each other on how to cast the Patronus Charm. Several students who cast the Patronus Charm with a full body were surrounded by people. Percy, for example, was proudly showing off his Patronus to a dozen juniors.
As soon as Ivan and Hermione entered, they were warmly welcomed.
The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak, and everyone surrounded the two of them in the center, asking for advice on how to use the Patronus Charm.
Especially Aiwen, many girls want to take another look at his patron saint.
Everyone is excited, except Ron.
Seeing that Aiwen and Hermione were welcomed, he seemed even more unhappy. He stared at the two for a long time before turning back to the dormitory alone with a sullen face.
In the next second, everyone heard a muffled shout from the boys' dormitory.
The atmosphere stagnated, and no one spoke in the entire common room, and everyone stared at the door full of fear. The hurried footsteps grew louder, and then, Ron jumped into everyone's sight, with a sheet under his belt.
"Look, look at this, look at this!" he growled, striding over to Hermione, shaking the sheet in front of her.
"Ron, what are you looking at?" Hermione said confusedly.
"Scabbets, look, Scabbers!" Ron rudely stretched the sheet to Hermione's eyes.
Hermione dodged Ron, completely bewildered.
Ivan looked at the sheet that Ron was holding, and there was something red on it. It looks scary, like...
"Blood!" cried Ron through the panicked silence of the group. "It's dead! Do you know what else is on the floor?"
"No, I don't know." Hermione's voice trembled.
Ron threw something in front of Hermione, and they all leaned forward, and they saw long strands of ginger cat hair strewn across the floor.
"Ron, a few cat hairs don't mean anything, you should look for Scabbers under all the boys' beds, it might..." Hermione explained palely.
"Enough is enough!" Ron yelled, startling everyone. "I've had enough of you, Hermione! You've always been like this and never intended Crookshanks to eat Scabbers." Seriously, never bothering to take a close look at Crookshanks. Now that Scabbers is dead, you're still pretending to think Crookshanks is innocent!"
"These cat hairs have probably been there since school started, and you've been prejudiced against it since the day Crookshanks jumped on your head in that Fantastic Beasts store," said Hermione stubbornly.
"Prejudice?!" Ron waved his arms wildly, "That monster, it jumped on my head, it ate Scabbers, should I praise it for doing the right thing?!"
"You know that's not what I meant..." Hermione's voice dropped again, tears welling in her eyes.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Ron continued to yell without trying to get around Hermione, "You've been treating me like a fool or an idiot who doesn't know anything, obviously I was the one who protected you from Malfoy, it was I who helped you contradict Snape in class, it was me... …”
Ron spoke faster and faster. Seeing Hermione's frightened and sad look, he felt pain in his heart, but he was extremely happy, with a kind of pleasure after revenge.
Immediately afterwards, he remembered the dream he had been having recently, and Hermione who had been appearing in the dream all the time.
For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt his nose sore, and he tried not to cry.
"Okay, Ron?!" Seeing that something was wrong, Fred hurried over and said briskly, "Didn't you keep saying how annoying Scabbers is?! Besides, he has lost his mind for a long time. , it's consuming a little bit. It's probably better for it to die soon, and it probably doesn't feel it... "
"That's right, Scabbers just eats and sleeps all day long, Ron, you said that yourself." George also said.
"He bit Goyle for us once!" said Ron miserably.
"It was at its best." Fred couldn't help a smile on his face. "Let the scar on Goyle's finger be a permanent memory of it. Oh, well, Ron, and Hermione Reconcile, buy another mouse, what's the use of lamenting?"
"But..." Ron lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"Actually, I think Hermione's thinking is right. Scabbers may not be dead, it's just hiding somewhere." Ai Wen interjected as if realizing something.
There is no way Peter Pettigrew could just die like this, let alone be killed by Crookshanks.
He was just afraid of Sirius Black and wanted to escape by feigning death again.
With the help of tracking potions, Aiwen could feel that Ban Ban was hiding in the right corner of the common room, watching the good show in front of him.
He was about to go over and find him out, but just after taking two steps, Ron stopped him. His words just now seemed to anger Ron again.
"You think Scabbers isn't dead?!" Ron looked at Ivan angrily, panting heavily, as if ready to pounce on him at any moment, "I knew you would be on Hermione's side, it's all your fault, if it wasn't You suggest that Hermione buy Crookshanks so that Scabbers won't die!"
"What?!" Ivan said in surprise. All day today, he felt that something was wrong with Ron.
"That's right, it's all your fault, you killed Scabbers!" Ron clenched his fists, his tear-stained eyes were red, "It was the same on the Quidditch pitch just now, if it wasn't for your ridiculous guardian God's curse, Gryffindor won't lose."
Ivan froze in place, he didn't know how Ron came to this conclusion.
Ron's head must be out of order. This is too ridiculous. The reason why Gryffindor lost the game was because of his Patronus? !
"Ron, it was Ivan's patron saint who saved everyone!" Colin, who had been standing aside, whispered.
"Of course you think so, you are just this guy's ridiculous follower." Ron shouted at Colin, then quickly turned his head to look at Ivan, as if he was hypnotizing himself, muttering in a low voice indistinctly He said, "Tom Riddle is right, you killed Scabbers, you caused Gryffindor to lose the game, you took Hermione, she should have belonged to me... .. .”
There was no sound at all in the common room, and the junior students shrank back in fear. Everyone looked at Ron in silence, and no one could hear what he was saying.
Ivan took another step forward, he wanted to find Banban, maybe seeing it would calm Ron down.
As soon as he moved, he saw Ron standing opposite him suddenly rushing towards him.
