Chapter 262 Ron and Rumors
"I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, he looked as annoying as before.? 81 Chinese? )>)]]]]>))>]" Ron raised his head and looked at the other side, "He must be planning something. conspiracy."
Malfoy was walking out of the auditorium among a group of Slytherin students, and before going out, he deliberately turned his head and glanced at the three of them with disgust, his eyes flashing with malice.
"I can sense that there must be something wrong with him," Harry said firmly. "He's rarely approaching us now, and he looks like he's scared."
"Malfoy is scared, that's funny."
"Nothing funny, Ron!" Hermione said disapprovingly, putting away the note from Hagrid. "Harry is right, Malfoy is really scared. But he's not scared of the three of us. , but is afraid of Ai Wen."
"Why should he be afraid of Ai Wen?" Ron demanded.
"That's because..." Hermione hesitated, not sure whether to tell the truth or not, she finally said vaguely, "You know, Malfoy wanted to make trouble a few days ago, and Evan ruthlessly taught him a lesson."
"Just taught Malfoy a lesson, and made him scared?!" Harry was stunned, "I never knew he was so timid."
"There must be something wrong here, Malfoy won't be easily scared unless..." Ron seemed to think of something, and he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation. , then lowered his voice and said, "I think I know why, you two have heard that rumor, right?!"
"What rumors?" Hermione asked curiously. Because of her busy schoolwork, she has been very busy recently, rarely communicated with other people, and hadn't heard anything.
"Irving is studying black magic!" Ron's voice was getting lower and lower. "He must have used black magic on Malfoy to make him feel scared. He must..."
"Ron, we have said this before, and there is no evidence that Ivan is studying black magic. This kind of thing sounds obviously absurd." Harry said hurriedly, "You don't really believe these nonsense, do you?"
"But Malfoy's reaction, and that rumor..." Ron defended.
"That's just a rumor. Aiwen's magical power has always been strong, which may have caused misunderstandings by others. He must have used other methods to make Malfoy feel scared." Harry said, "Remember the basilisk incident last year? , at that time everyone thought I was a descendant of Slytherin, and those Hufflepuffs even said that I was more evil than Voldemort. They have always been like this. "
Ron shuddered visibly when Harry mentioned Voldemort.
"It's not just as simple as a rumor!" He said unwillingly, "I have seen Ai Wen's notes with my own eyes, and there is a terrible pattern drawn on it. It is a man with a crazy and twisted expression, and his soul is splitting."
"Maybe you are wrong, and even if not, a pattern doesn't mean much."
"That's his research notes. In addition to the painting, there are a lot of esoteric words on it. It can't be drawn casually." Ron gasped and said, "Irving has been secretly researching by himself recently. Something, it must be black magic. I asked Colin, and he got up in the middle of the night a few times to see Aiwen not sleeping, hiding under the covers and reading a magic book."
"That doesn't mean much..." Harry said stubbornly.
"That's why we need to investigate and get more evidence." Ron raised his voice slightly, trying to persuade Harry and let his friends understand the importance of this matter, "Malfoy's reaction can explain the problem, we can use This is a breakthrough. Believe me, Aiwen's recent behavior is really suspicious. He may be studying some spells that he can't master because of curiosity. We must stop him, this is for his own good. "
"You don't want to cooperate with Malfoy to investigate Evan?!" Harry said in astonishment.
"I'm just giving an example, we have to determine what Irving is doing. If he is indeed studying dark magic, we can tell..." Ron said eagerly.
"In the past two years, Aiwen has proved that he has nothing to do with the dark wizard, and I believe him. Moreover, I don't want to have any connection with Malfoy." Harry said irritably, "Ron, you must also believe it. Evan's, isn't it?"
Seeing Harry staring at him, Ron's eyes dodged for a moment, then returned to normal, whispering, "Yes, I believe him!"
"Very well, if that's the case, then don't think about it. You can watch us for Quidditch training later, and after the training, you can ride the Firebolt." Harry seemed to be relieved and turned. He turned his head and said to Hermione, who had not spoken, "Hermione, you come too. You and Ivan both need to relax and breathe some fresh air. The pressure you have put on yourself recently is too much to keep going like this."
Hermione nodded subconsciously, still thinking about what Ron had just said.
"I'll call Ivan, he must still be reading books or sorting newspaper articles in the library." Harry handed the Firebolt beside him to Ron and continued, "You two can come first after breakfast. The Quidditch field is waiting for us."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned and left, looking a little flustered.
The conversation with Ron just now gave Harry an ominous foreboding.
He didn't know how the unfounded rumor that "Irving was studying black magic" came out, and he was very worried because Ron had discussed it with him before. Ron also suggested that Ivan should be investigated at the time, and Harry also did not agree.
He tried to persuade Ron to give up the idea, and Harry wondered if Ron had listened to what he was saying.
Doubting his friend makes him feel bad.
Like Sirius, Harry unconditionally believed in Irving. Faced with Basilisks, Tom Riddle's Diary, Peter Pettigrew, and more, over the past two years, Harry can't imagine how bad things would have been without Avon.
Even if Ivan is really studying black magic as Ron said, Harry believes that he must have good reasons and will not use those black magic to do bad things.
Harry had persuaded Ron to do so, and since then Ron never mentioned it again.
But it didn't take long for the rumors to appear in the castle.
It wasn't a good sign, Harry didn't want anything bad.
Since Sirius was proven innocent and became the school's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Harry is very satisfied with his current state of life.
Sirius had said that Harry could move in and live with him during the summer.
Harry couldn't imagine leaving the Dursley family, in his godfather's house, without any scruples, could invite Ivan, Ron, Hermione and the others to come as guests.
He has never been so happy as he is now, and he doesn't want any accidents. (To be continued.)
