Chapter 1725 A War Without Winners (One Hundred and Seventy-Five)

"I wouldn't have come if I had known."

Ron was in a very low mood. He was not a fool, so he could see that Hermione only regarded him as a good friend.

But Ron didn't just want to be Hermione's good friend. After being rejected by the other party after taking the initiative many times, even Ron could clearly feel that Hermione was deliberately keeping a distance from him and didn't give him any hope at all. This hurt Ron very much, and he even suspected that Hermione had someone she liked.

"Who could it be?"

Ron pondered this question while drinking.

"Albert? It's probably not. After all, Albert is already married, and the couple is very loving. That's not pretending."

"Could it be Krum?" He thought of a suspect again, but he was quickly ruled out. Maybe Hermione and Krum had correspondence, but it was absolutely impossible for them to get along so quickly.

"Did she know that Lavender was still writing to her, so she took the initiative to avoid her?"

When Ron thought of Lavender, his expression became even more gloomy.

He had originally imagined that Percy would gradually distance himself from her in order to cut off his connection with Lavender, but he didn't expect that Lavender seemed to have anticipated this and was getting more and more entangled with him.

"Yes, that must be the case."

Did Ginny tell Hermione quietly?

After turning around and finding that it was his own problem, Ron's face became even gloomier, and he began to use alcohol to numb himself and relieve his inner depression.

On the other side, Harry, who had just sat down and was about to whisper something to Ginny, was called over by Albert.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Perhaps noticing the change in Harry's expression, Ginny, who had just learned parenting experience from Isobel, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Nothing!" Harry tried to change the subject, "What did you talk about?"

"You don't look like nothing." Ginny stared at Harry's eyes, not giving Harry a chance to change the subject.

"Albert came to remind me not to try to stop it..." Harry seemed to be afraid of being heard by others around him, and lowered his voice more and more. In the end, even Ginny sitting next to him couldn't hear what he said.

"Stop what?" Ginny frowned slightly and asked.

"Revenge!"

Harry's tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.

He actually knew something about this matter, and he had heard others mention it. As for Harry himself, he actually sympathized with Nelson's group and could understand why they did that. Even he sometimes felt that Kingsley was wrong and talked to Kingsley about it, but the British wizarding world at the moment was indeed not suitable for continued chaos, and everyone needed to consider the overall situation!

In fact, Kingsley also realized it, but... even if you knew it, what could you do?

Do you have evidence?

No.

Nelson's group has not done anything now, and they are living their lives in peace.

As for your so-called revenge, it is naturally not valid before actual action is taken. You can't just arrest everyone just in case!

They all participated in the Battle of Hogwarts, so they are not easy targets.

"I think she is right." Ginny said suddenly.

"You think so too." Harry was surprised.

"We have never forgotten Charlie's death." Ginny said softly, "Not to mention other people, so Harry, I think Albert is right."

"It seems that I look really stupid." Harry couldn't help but laugh at himself. He actually needed others to remind him to avoid losing his life because of stupidity.

The guy whose brain is occupied by hatred is unreasonable!

"You are not stupid at all, you are just... too kind." Ginny really knows Harry too well, "Kind enough to try to prevent this tragedy from happening, but can that really be done? Even Albert gave up."

"Where is Albert?"

A familiar voice interrupted Harry's thoughts. George, holding a glass of champagne, was looking around, as if looking for something.

"What do you want to do with Albert?" Ginny raised her eyebrows.

"Nothing!" George obviously didn't want to say, "Do you know where Albert went?"

"He just went home with Isobel." Ginny seemed to think of something, and turned her head to Harry and said, "It's late now, let's go back and rest."

Harry actually wanted to stay here for a while, but considering Ginny's situation, he didn't refuse and took Ginny back to his new home.

Yes, a new home.

If it weren't for the pregnant Ginny who needed Mrs. Weasley's care, Harry would probably have moved here.

Before leaving, Harry seemed to think of something, so he went to find Hermione first.

"What are you going to do tonight? It's not suitable to live in a tent now."

"This weather is really not suitable for setting up a tent, so I plan to let Dobby take me back to Hogwarts." Hermione signaled Harry not to worry about her: "It's just that it will be a bit troublesome to come to Avalon. I can only ask the house elves for help or come through the Floo Network in Albert's office."

"It's okay to go back to school." Harry nodded, turned his head to look at Ron who was full of alcohol, frowned and reminded, "Don't drink too much, Ron, it's late now, Ginny and I plan to stay here tonight."

"It's really a bit late, so I'll go back to school first." Hermione took out her pocket watch and looked at the time, and also greeted Ron, "Drink less."

Ron didn't seem to hear it and stared blankly at Hermione's leaving figure.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, I'm just wondering if it's too late now, should I go back." Ron mumbled and drank all the whiskey in the glass.

"Very late?"

George looked at his pocket watch. If it wasn't winter, ten o'clock would not be very late.

However, Ron smelled of alcohol now, so it was best not to let him stay until the end of the banquet to avoid going crazy later and losing everyone's face.

"Yeah, it's very late, let me take you back!"

Seeing Ron staggering while walking, George couldn't stand it anymore and finally decided to send him back to the Burrow to prevent the unlucky guy from getting drunk and freezing to death on the way.

If it were normal times, George would definitely not even look at Ron twice, but something is really wrong with this guy now.

"Are you falling out of love?"

Ron smelling of alcohol undoubtedly made Mrs. Weasley very unhappy, but Mrs. Weasley was more worried about Harry and Ginny's situation.

"Harry and Ginny only drank some warm butterbeer and are now resting in Avalon. As for this guy..." George threw Ron, who was full of alcohol, on his bed, "I doubt it. He might have been out of love, so he had a few more drinks!”

"Broken love?" Mrs. Weasley looked shocked: "That girl named Lavender dumped him?"

"Lavender?"

George was stunned for a moment and repeated subconsciously.

"She should be Ron's girlfriend at school. She writes to Ron every few days." Mrs. Weasley said about a girl who kept sending letters to Ron. It was written by a girl named Lavender, and the title was extremely bold and intimate. Only girls in love would do that.

"I thought Ron liked Hermione." George looked at Ron on the bed in surprise and murmured, "But Hermione seems to only regard him as a good friend."

Mrs. Weasley and George looked at each other, as if they had thought of something, and suddenly fell into a brief silence.
