Chapter 572 Negative Effect
Let me talk about Ron first. Since this article appeared, he has been under the most pressure.
Although there were not many reports about him in the newspapers, it was very deadly.
The dissenting voices that had gradually subsided resumed again. Everyone believed that Ron's status as a warrior was obtained through disgraceful means. He deceived Dumbledore and the Goblet of Fire, and even many wizards outside the school thought so.
The Warriors brought Ron not honor, but disgrace.
Rita Skeeter's article pushed Ron to the forefront, making people think that he is a despicable villain who has no corresponding strength, but likes to show off, show off, and gain honor through black box operations.
Now, wherever he goes, people can be heard shouting at him openly.
They all wear badges of support for Cedric, quoting from articles and sneering at him.
As a result, Ron's temper became very bad, and he could easily quarrel with Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw students.
As for Slytherin, he even fought with Malfoy and the others.
His reputation among the students declined rapidly, and many people were secretly pointing fingers at Ron.
It was the same here with Harry, and the descriptions of him in the newspapers were even more embarrassing.
"Would you like a handkerchief, Potter, so you won't cry in Transfiguration?"
"When did you become the top student in the school? Maybe you and Longbottom started this school together?"
"Hello, Harry!"
"Yeah, that's right!" Harry couldn't bear it anymore, yelled, and turned around in the corridor suddenly, "I just cried for my dead mother, my eyes were red, and now I have to cry again"
"No, I'm just saying, your quill fell off."
It was Cho Chang, and Harry felt himself flushing.
"Oh, yes, sorry," he muttered under his breath, taking the quill.
Hermione naturally shared some of the unhappiness, but she didn't yell at innocent passers-by.
"Stunningly beautiful, she?!" Pansy Parkinson said queerly when she first met Hermione after Rita's article was published. "What does she judge by, chipmunk?"
"Never mind it!" said Hermione with dignity, holding her head high and striding past the giggling Slytherin girls as if she hadn't heard anything, "Don't Just deal with it!"
Harry and Ron looked at Hermione admiringly, and they couldn't ignore it.
"We all know that woman is spreading rumors, and the things he wrote are worthless!" Hermione said, "You two should learn from Alvin, he doesn't take these things seriously."
Yes, only Ivan and Hermione can completely ignore the things mentioned in the report.
The two of them agreed that now was not the time to think about the gossip, but to help Ron find a way to get him through his first project.
As the game approached, they spent more and more time in the library.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Colin, Gabriel, and Ginny are all guessing the content of the project. Ivan knows it, but he can't say it yet.
Let's wait for Keresis and Hagrid to tell Ron about this matter.
He listed the methods of dealing with the fire dragon on the parchment, and finally crossed them out one by one.
It's not that these methods are not feasible, but that with Ron's current ability, it is simply impossible.
It's not just Ivan here, Kelesis is also worried about how to help Ron complete the task of the competition.
With Ron's magic power and magic level, it is impossible for the spell or transformation to succeed.
It is also difficult for Ron to use the broomstick like Harry, but this is a way of thinking, and a breakthrough point can be found from this aspect.
They checked a lot of information in the library, and Ivan noticed that Krum had been there recently.
He's now able to meet and greet everyone, not as coldly as he first did, but that's about it.
Hermione often complained about Krum, he never came to make trouble for them, and he seldom even said a word, but there were often groups of girls hiding behind the bookshelves to spy on him, and Hermione felt that those voices disturbed her attention.
Ivan also felt this way, but he couldn't stop Krum from appearing in the library, so he could only sit as far away from him as possible.
"Why don't we sit with Krum?" said Ron. "He invited us over."
"Unless you want to be stared at by dozens of girls, pointing and muttering at you."
"He's not good-looking at all!" Hermione muttered angrily, staring at Krum's chiseled profile. "They only like him because he's famous! If he didn't engage in that fake chicken-stealing game Yier"
"It's a Ronsky feint," Harry said through gritted teeth, not wanting to be thrown around in Quidditch jargon.
"Get real, Hermione!" Ron continued. "A lot of girls like Krum, not only because he is the most famous Quidditch Seeker, he is also very strong in magic and knows a lot. Knowledge, just like those girls like Ivan."
"How many times do you want me to repeat, Aiwen's private life is not as chaotic as that woman described!" Hermione immediately turned her head and looked at him dissatisfied, "He doesn't provoke so many girls around him like that guy .”
"Krum's popularity isn't his fault!" Ron murmured softly, "Although he looks cold, he's actually pretty nice. He even told me a practical spell a while ago, which helped me a lot."
"Well, that's your opinion?!" Hermione said, "We sit in the library every day to find a way to help you get through your first project, and I haven't seen you thank us."
"Of course I am grateful. You are the only ones who support me now. I will remember it in my heart!" Ron said embarrassedly, then turned to Aiwen who was reading a book and said, "Aiwen, how do you use this barrier spell?" of?"
In this case, time flies by, and soon it is the week before the game.
Ivan had to admit that at some point, Ron's nerves were indeed very tight.
Just when everyone else was worried about how Ron would complete the first project, he subjectively underestimated the difficulty of the competition.
Ron didn't have much panic, instead he was always thinking about the glory that winning the game would bring him.
He has told Ivan, Harry, and Colin more than once what he will do when he wins the game.
This optimism lasted until the Saturday before the first project, when the school granted a trip to Hogsmeade for students from Year 3 onwards.
During breakfast, Ron actually told everyone that they should go outside the castle to relax! (To be continued.)
