Chapter 142: I Couldn't Avoid This Scolding After All

The next day, the Great Hall.

Many students were whispering. Harry and Ron sat at the long table proudly but embarrassedly, preparing to enjoy breakfast today, under the envious eyes of others.

They still escaped last night, although Professor Snape was eager for them to be punished, such as expulsion.

But Harry and Ron were Gryffindor after all. Professor McGonagall did not want to expel them for this matter. In addition, Dumbledore pleaded for them, so the two were only punished with detention, and even the points were not deducted.

Moreover, in the eyes of many people, being able to drive a flying car to school is a very cool thing. After the news spread, the two unexpectedly gained a group of fans.

"Look at how proud they are. If you don't know, you would think they saved the wizarding world!" Draco said indignantly at the long table of Slytherin.

"It's just that they look glamorous now." Aaron sighed, "The fame they enjoy now is not even as good as false fame. Everyone will forget about it in a few days."

"I know, but I just feel unconvinced.

Harry Potter seems to be able to attract everyone's attention no matter what he does, even if it's wrong."

"It's true that they did something wrong, but the suffering they suffered is also very great.

In fact, I found them on the train yesterday, and I also brought them some food."

Draco was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Abe who was finishing the herring on the table, as if he had figured out something.

"So you went out yesterday because of...the two of them?"

"What else? Do you really think driving is easy?" Aaron smiled meaningfully, "Ron drove for more than eight hours, and there was no food in the car. In addition, the temperature rose a lot due to the sunlight. He was tired, hot, thirsty and hungry. Those who could persist were warriors.

And do you think this matter will pass so easily?

Don't forget, they put it in the newspaper, and Mr. Arthur Weasley is from the Ministry of Magic."

"Oh! That's it."

Draco thought of the miserable state of the two in the car and the belated punishment he would face next, and his mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.

"But how did you find them on the train?"

"Uh...it was an accident."

Draco didn't ask any more questions. He looked at Harry and Ron with disdain and ate breakfast by himself.

Aaron shrugged, piled his half-eaten food in front of Abe, and then walked to the long table of Gryffindor.

"You two look very happy!

You accidentally became famous."

"It's okay!" Harry smiled a little proudly, "It's just that Ron's loss is a little big."

"It's a heavy loss."

Ron took out his wand helplessly. This old wand was barely usable, but now it is on the verge of being eliminated.

One-third of the wand was almost completely broken. Although it was tightly wrapped with tape, even so, the wood chips could be vaguely seen.

Aaron looked at him sympathetically, "It's amazing, this wand won't be wanted even if it's given away for free, and you actually want to turn it into something magical."

"Can it be fixed?" Ron asked earnestly.

"Heh!" Aaron shook his head, "Take my advice, you'd better change a wand.

Believe me, this thing can't be fixed even if it's handed over to Ollivander."

Hearing this, Ron looked bitter, "Then I'm done."

He didn't have the money to buy a wand, so he thought of settling for the next best thing.

But now it seems that there is no possibility of repair. Aaron is Ollivander's great-nephew, and his words are more valuable than those of ordinary people.

"Good morning!" Hermione came over with a book in her arms. She first greeted Aaron with a smile, and then glared at Harry and Ron unhappily.

The two immediately lowered their heads guiltily. They knew that Hermione was dissatisfied with their way of returning to school.

"Aaron, are you busy during this holiday?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Very busy, the kind of busyness you can't even imagine."

"No wonder." Hermione nodded thoughtfully, "I said I wrote you a few letters and you didn't reply to me. When I went to Diagon Alley, your clerk also said you were not there."

Aaron smiled awkwardly but politely, "Sorry, I didn't want to, but the family education is really too strict."

"That's right, Aaron was forced to run away from home." Harry interrupted.

"Running away from home?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Aaron, "What happened?"

"It's all in the past, and it shouldn't happen again in the future." Aaron said with a guilty conscience, and he didn't even believe it.

It is estimated that after the end of this school year, he will still be forced to study those courses until he is truly a master.

"Are you really okay?" Hermione still didn't quite believe it.

"It's really okay.

Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about these two."

"We?" Harry pointed at himself and swallowed his saliva involuntarily, "We should be okay, right?

There is a reason for driving back to school. Professor McGonagall has punished us, and Headmaster Dumbledore also said that the law on underage wizards will not hold us responsible.

In other words, this matter has been turned over. "

Ron nodded his head. He had already lost a wand and a car. If this is not over, his little heart can't bear it.

"You have avoided the law and school rules, but..."

Before he finished speaking, an owl flew in from outside.

This owl is Errol from the Weasley family. Among owls, it belongs to the old, weak and disabled category. It is difficult for it to fly so far.

"Here it comes."

Aaron murmured, and then pulled Hermione up from her seat.

The next moment, Errol crashed into the dining table and fell into Hermione's plate, splashing milk and feathers everywhere.

"Ron." The corners of Hermione's mouth twitched, "You really need to change your owl. "

"I thought so too! This bird is really stupid." Ron picked up Errol and saw a wet envelope in its mouth, his face fell instantly.

"Oh no!"

"Howler letter." Aaron said gloatingly, "It can be seen that Mrs. Weasley is really angry, otherwise she would not send you such a letter in public."

"What is a Howler letter?" Harry asked puzzled.

"You will know soon."

Ron was very nervous, his hands trembled unconsciously, but looking at the envelope that had begun to smoke, he still plucked up the courage to tear it open.

The red envelope and the letter inside were folded into the shape of a mouth, and Mrs. Weasley's angry roar came out from it, and the volume was many times louder than usual.

"Ron Weasley, how dare you steal a car without permission?"

"I'm really mad."

"Your father is now under investigation by the Ministry of Magic, and this is all your fault. "

"If you dare to cause trouble again, we will take you back immediately."

After saying that, the red envelope burned and turned into ashes in an instant.

However, the people who were close to him still felt a buzzing in their ears, and Ron was even slumped in his chair, stunned and unable to recover.

Harry also looked at him blankly. He was also involved in the car incident, but it seemed that only Ron was scolded.

"The most worried thing happened." Aaron shook his head and said, "You still didn't escape this scolding.

But you two don't deserve sympathy. If I must evaluate... you deserve it."

Harry and Ron turned their heads to look at him at the same time. These two words really made them feel depressed.

This time they were so embarrassed. The first day of school was so exciting that the two of them couldn't eat because of guilt.

"This is a good thing." Hermione murmured, "You have received appropriate punishment, and this matter is completely over. There is no need to worry about it anymore."

"It's hard to say. "Aaron curled his lips, "I'm not exaggerating, their ability to cause trouble..."

Hermione was a little unconfident when she heard this, after all, they had proved their ability in this area last year.

"Oh! Let it be!"

Hermione opened a thick book and read it by herself at the dining table.

"Traveling with Vampires"

Aaron looked at the cover of the book and couldn't help but complain: "When did you like this kind of book?"

"This is a textbook!" Hermione said with some surprise, "Don't you know?"

"What?" Aaron was stunned for a moment and looked at the content of the book carefully, "The content is substantial, the colors are bright, the text is fluent, but the most important thing is the portrayal of the protagonist Gilderoy Lockhart, humorous, witty, powerful, kind and merciful, full of wisdom..."

After reading two chapters, the corners of his mouth twitched, "I admit that this book is pretty good, but..."

"Is it! "Hermione ignored the word but, "Of course this book is good. It was a big seller at Flourish and Blotts. It's probably in the top ten in the wizarding world."

"No, I mean, is this book related to what we are going to learn?

There are no spells or knowledge in this book. It's more like someone's autobiography than a textbook. But if it is an autobiography, then I really admire him."

"This is an autobiography." Hermione said with some pride, "What happened in it is all true deeds. The protagonist of this book is our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
