Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 261 Ron and Rumors

“I didn't notice anything unusual, he seemed as annoying as before.” Ron looked up and looked across the street, "he must be plotting something. ”

Malfoy was walking out of the auditorium among a group of Slytherin students, and before leaving, he deliberately turned around and looked at them with disgust and malice.

“I can feel that there must be something wrong with him.” Harry said with certainty, "He rarely comes near us right now, seemingly as if he was scared. ”

“Malfoy's scared, that's funny. ”

“Nothing funny, Ron!” Hermione stashed away the note Hagrid had sent and said, "Harry was right, Malfoy was really scared. But he's not afraid of the three of us, he's afraid of Evan. ”

“Why should he be afraid of Ivan?” Ron asked.

“That's because..." Hermione hesitated, unsure whether to tell the truth or not, and she finally blurred, “You know, Malfoy tried to get into trouble the other day, and Ivan kicked his ass. ”

“Just teach Malfoy a lesson and let him get scared?!” Harry stunned for a moment, "I never knew he was so timid. ”

“There must be something wrong here, Malfoy won't be scared easily unless..." Ron looks around and makes sure nobody listens to their conversation before he lowers his voice and says, "I think I know why, have you both heard that rumor?! ”

“What rumors?” Hermione asks curiously, because of her busy schooling, she has been very busy lately, rarely communicating with others, and has heard nothing.

“Ivan is studying dark magic!” Ron's voice is getting lower and lower, "he must have used dark magic against Malfoy to scare him, he's sure...”

“Ron, as we said before, there is no evidence that Ivan is studying black magic, and this sounds obviously ridiculous.” Harry said hastily, "You don't really believe this bullshit, do you? ”

“But Malfoy's reaction, and that rumor...” Ron argued.

“It's just a rumor that Evan's magic power has always been strong and may have caused other misunderstandings, and he must have scared Malfoy in some other way.” Harry said, "Remember last year when everyone thought I was Slytherin's heir, and Hecky Patch even said I was worse than Voldemort? They always do that, and they love to think when it's okay, spreading things that aren't based on facts. ”

When Harry mentioned Voldemort, Ron was obviously shaking.

“It's not just rumors!” He said with reluctance, "I've seen Ivan's notes with my own eyes, and there's a horrible pattern on it, a madly distorted man whose soul is splitting. ”

“Perhaps you were wrong, and if not, a single pattern doesn't mean anything. ”

“That's his research note, and in addition to that painting, there's a lot of deep text that can't be drawn randomly.” Ron gasped and said, "Evan has been studying something secretly lately, and it must be black magic. I asked Colin how many times he woke up in the middle of the night to see Ivan not sleeping and a man hiding in a duvet reading a magic book. ”

“None of this explains anything...” Harry stubbornly said.

“That's why we need to investigate and have more evidence.” Ron raised his voice slightly, trying to persuade Harry and make his friends understand the importance of this, "Malfoy's reaction illustrates the problem, and we can use it as a breakthrough. Believe me, Ivan's been acting really suspicious lately, and he's probably curious, studying some spells he can't possibly master. We have to stop him, it's for his own good. ”

“You don't want to work with Malfoy to investigate Ivan, do you?!” Harry said with dismay.

“I'm just going to give you an example. We have to make sure Ivan's doing what he's doing. If he is indeed studying black magic, we can tell…" Ron says eagerly.

“Over the past two years, Ivan has proved in action that he has nothing to do with the Dark Wizard, and I believe him. And I don't want to have anything to do with Malfoy.” Harry said irritably, "Ron, you must believe Ivan, too, don't you? ”

Seeing Harry staring at himself, Ron's eyes dodged and then returned to normal, whispering, "Yes, I believe him! ”

“Well, in that case, don't think about it. You can visit us later for the Quidditch training, and after that, you can ride a crossbow.” Harry seemed relieved and turned his head and said to Hermione, who had never spoken, "Hermione, you too. You and Evan both need to relax and breathe some fresh air. You've been putting too much pressure on yourself lately to keep doing this. ”

Hermione nodded, still thinking about what Ron had just said.

“I went to call Ivan, and he must still be in the library reading books or sorting out newspaper articles.” Harry handed Ron the crossbow next to him and continued, "You two can wait for us at Quidditch's after breakfast. ”

After he had finished, he turned around in a hurry and left, looking a little panicked.

Just talking to Ron gave Harry a bad feeling.

He had no idea how the unfounded rumor that Ivan was studying black magic had come out, and he was very worried because Ron had discussed it with him before. Ron also suggested that Ivan be investigated, and Harry disagreed.

He tried to persuade Ron to abandon the idea, and Harry wondered if Ron had listened to what he had said.

Doubt his friends, which makes him feel bad.

Like Sirius, Harry believes in Ivan unconditionally. In the past two years, Harry couldn't have imagined what it would look like without Evan in the face of Snake Monster, Tom Riddle's diary, Peter the Dwarf, and so on.

Even if Ivan was really studying black magic, as Ron said, Harry believed that he had good reason and wouldn't do anything wrong with that black magic.

Harry had persuaded Ron to do so, and since then Ron has never spoken of it.

But not long later, the rumor began to appear in the castle.

That doesn't bode well, Harry doesn't want anything bad going on.

Since Sirius proved innocent and became a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at school, Harry has been very satisfied with his current state of life.

Sirius said Harry could move in and live with him during the summer vacation.

Harry couldn't imagine leaving the Desirees, and in his Godfather's house, without any concerns, inviting Ivan, Ron and Hermione to come and be guests.

He's never been happier, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen.
