"G-Ginny..."
"Shut up!"
"Uh... Lavender?"
"Honey, you should call me Levin... Also, this is between Ginny and I, so don't talk yet!"
When Ron, who happened to be caught in the middle of the two girls, tried to say a few words to persuade him, he found that he seemed to have no voice at all - he obviously had a big mouth, but he could only keep talking. Acting as a mute honestly, is there anything worse in the world than this
All right! The answer is... yes!
Just when he was about to quietly be a beautiful boy, the skin all over his body suddenly tightened, as if countless hands were constantly kneading and pressing every part of his body.
"oh!"
His expression suddenly froze and he stood up suddenly. After he stood like this, the stool he was sitting on fell to the floor with a bang, startling both Ginny and Lavender who were staring at each other.
What made the two girls a little surprised was naturally not the sound of the stool falling to the ground - in the Three Broomsticks where the noise almost became the background music, that sound was insignificant at all. What surprised them was Ron who stood up suddenly.
The two girls who are quarreling, one is their beloved sister, the other is his current girlfriend... So far, they have never seen Ron angry! And at that moment, it looked like Ron was really angry.
Right between the two of them, Ron leaned over the table and didn't look at either side. He just lowered his head, and the bangs on his forehead were messy covering his eyes, making it difficult for people to distinguish his intentions.
"Luoluo, what's wrong with you?"
Lavender cautiously moved closer and reached out to touch Ron's shoulder. But no one knew what Ron was thinking at this time. They could only see him maintaining this posture motionless, which seemed a bit strange.
"Ron?" Ginny couldn't help but blinked in confusion.
After a while, Ron, who had always lowered his head, finally responded. But no one expected that he turned around, kicked away the stool that fell on the ground, and walked to the other side of the bar.
Probably sensing that something was not right about him, Ginny and Lavender subconsciously stopped after chasing him for two steps.
However, Ron, who was walking straight forward with his head buried in the crowd, accidentally bumped into Harry, who was standing in the distance and watching what was going on.
"Hey! Luo... Huh?"
Since Ron just happened to choose a path coming towards him, Harry certainly had no reason to deliberately avoid it, so he stepped forward to meet him. But just when Harry wanted to say a few words to Ron, he was suddenly stunned.
"Sh-Harry, don't! Don't talk!"
"What exactly happened to you?" Harry lowered his voice and asked, "How could you..."
"Well, there is a reason anyway," the other party said, and shrank directly behind Harry, "Help me block it, I... Oh, no!"
Just as he was speaking nicely, Harry suddenly heard a crisp clanging sound on the floor, causing him to immediately lower his head and look in the direction of the sound. But in fact, he only had time to see a potion bottle rolling into the crowd on the right.
At this moment, Harry glanced at the other person's turned back with a subtle expression, and couldn't help but mourn for three seconds.
Perhaps this can't be blamed on Harry, because the time left for him was only enough for these three seconds.
"stop!"
A loud shout suddenly resounded throughout the noisy bar, even suppressing the noise of the surrounding crowd. When the guests were curious, they turned their heads and looked this way.
It was Ginny who made that shout - to be honest, she didn't use any amplification charm, which shows how huge her voice is, which is usually hidden under the quietness! This made Harry take a good look at Ginny who was walking up and down, as if he had just realized what kind of girl she was today.
"Turn around!" Ginny shouted again.
Just as Ginny was yelling fiercely, Lavender, who was still staying at the table, had also come over, and beside her were Parvati and Hannah.
"Okay! You don't want to look back, do you?" Ginny held her head high, her long red hair pouring down behind her head, like a waterfall made of flames. "This gentleman, Please pick it up and hand it to me...Thank you!"
The last sentence she said was to a certain male wizard in the crowd. When she said this, her aura was still astonishing. Even adults were attracted by it, and they cooperated very well to take the magic potion that fell at their feet. The bottle was placed in Ginny's hand.
After she received it, she pulled out the cork and sniffed it, then frowned.
"…This is Polyjuice Potion."
The person speaking this time was not Ginny, and of course it couldn't be Lavender and Parvati, who had always been casual about their academic performance, but Hannah Abbott of Hufflepuff House.
She moved closer to Ginny's hand, fanned it and smelled it, and thought carefully for a moment before hesitatingly said: "The proportion of ingredients in this bottle of polyjuice potion seems to be different from that in the book, and there are also added There are some other ingredients...but this is definitely Polyjuice Potion."
"Why are you doing this? Who are you..."
When Ginny heard this, she frowned again, and pointed her sharp eyes at the back, quite intent on not giving up until she understood the truth. But soon, she realized that she didn't seem to need to ask so hard.
It was obvious that the effect of the polyjuice potion on the other party had been completely lifted. His height, which was originally not much, suddenly grew a lot, and the Weasley family's iconic red hair also turned into a tall one in the blink of an eye. A dark gold color.
"... Neville?" Ginny asked in surprise, "You... why are you pretending to be Ron?"
Well, Ginny was certainly surprised, but among the people present, the one who was most shocked was Ron's current girlfriend, Miss Lavender Brown.
"Could it be that... you and I have been together for most of the day today?"
Yes, the person who plays Ron is naturally our Mr. Neville Longbottom. Seeing that Ginny had finally figured out his identity, Neville naturally lost the point of trying to escape. After a slight hesitation, Neville had to turn around.
"Yes, I'm sorry... I... am not..."
It could be seen that Neville's mouth was a little trembling and he couldn't even finish a sentence. You know, although Neville Longbottom usually behaves like this when facing girls, when he played Ron just now, he didn't look like this timid person who couldn't even speak easily
Although he was still being suppressed by Lavender at that time, he could at least cope with it relatively properly. If it were Neville now, he might not even be able to reply.
Perhaps, it was that different identity that allowed him to finally hide the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart and fully express his true inner self. But now, once he returned to his original self, the borrowed courage shrank back and was buried deep in his heart again.
"Longbottom! You must make it clear today, you..." Lavender was obviously angry. He stamped his feet on the spot a few times, and then rushed towards Neville blankly.
This girl originally had a crazy temperament, whether it was love or hate, it was as violent as a storm. Just looking at her running over with "thump thump thump", it was as scary as if she was about to eat Neville.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, please... don't, don't do this..."
Neville was frightened. As Lavender quickly approached, he stepped back and stumbled over several tables. The surrounding guests hid in a hurry, obviously not wanting to be implicated by him.
On the other hand, Ms. Rosmerta, who was leaning against the bar in the distance, was still standing there calmly. Not only was she not worried, but she was looking over here with a smile on her face with interest.
"Oh - that's true!" She smiled and said to a male wizard in front of the bar, "Look at this scene, I'm afraid I have to admit that I am indeed old!"
"Bang!" "Ouch!"
Neville, who kept retreating, finally lost his footing and tripped over a stool and fell to the ground. How could Lavender miss such a good opportunity? She immediately pounced on him like a tigress and grabbed Neville by the collar.
"explain!"
It was just one word, but it made Neville stunned for a while.
"S-What did you say?"
"Why are you pretending to be my Luo Luo! Why are you deceiving my feelings so much! Why are you staying with me all morning! Why are you being so nice to me! Why..."
Every time he said "why", Lavender grabbed Neville's collar with both hands and shook it with all his strength. In terms of size, the tall and big Neville is almost as good as two Lavenders, but in fact, Neville is like a sluggish mouse in his hands, looking particularly pitiful.
But it is worth mentioning that the "whys" of Lavender became more and more strange to everyone - it would be more accurate to say that they were complaining rather than angry.
Harry watched blankly from the side, looking at each other from time to time, and both of them noticed the confusion in the other's eyes.
"...Say! Neville Longbottom! Do you like me?"
After explaining all the "whys" one by one, Lavender said this, making everyone present dumbfounded.
Neville had long been stunned by the series of "why" questions. He lay half on the ground, letting Lavender sit on his belly and abuse his neck and collar. He seemed to be stupid.
"...I...I like Hannah." He said something that no one expected.
