Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 220 Give Up Is Courage?

Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "...Need my help?"

When Maca asked this sentence, Wei Li shook her head decisively.

"What is she doing secretly? Mysterious..." Seeing Wei Li turning to leave on her own, Maca wondered with a puzzled expression, "Well, maybe she has started to feel more about potions recently. Interested?"

Since they didn't let himself help, of course he didn't have to just get in there, not to mention that the other party was still Miss Willie Blois who said nothing.

And, speaking of it, he is still a little busy this afternoon.

It’s all to blame for Mad-eyed Moody. Who knows what kind of turmoil he has in his head, he actually applied to Dumbledore for a three-hour course, what kind of "defense against the dark arts three-school exchange class" .

Needless to say, this strange old man must be digging a hole for himself again.

"Does he not need to sleep?"

Even though Maca has become accustomed to the day-to-day research routines all night long, generally speaking, he still finds time to sleep.

However, yesterday Moody, like him, stayed up all night. This morning, he was still in the principal's room and chatting about the issue of the visit of Sister Charlotte for the whole morning, but why is he still so energetic?

Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help but stretch out.

"Forget it, just take it as sacrificing sleep time and entertain with the elderly!" He yawned as he walked towards the auditorium, "...well, before that, just eat something first."

Halfway through lunch time, the seats in the auditorium seemed a bit empty.Only a few students are still eating, but they seem to be almost finished eating.

Maca casually found a place to sit down, trying to hurry up to fill his stomach, but saw Ron suddenly appear at the gate of the auditorium.

"Maca..."

"Well?"

Maca chewed on a mouthful of spaghetti and looked at Ron suspiciously.

"There is something I want to tell you..."

Ron's face looked unnatural, he stood at the door, clasped his hands and released it again, as if he had something to say in his heart, but it seemed difficult to speak.

"What's the matter?" Maca swallowed the food in his mouth, then waved at him, "Come, sit down and say."

Ron hesitated, then he walked to the table and sat down.

"Recently, it's about Hermione..." He hesitated. "I... she lost something..."

"Throw something? What is it?"

Maca asked casually, then forkped another piece of baked potato, and pushed it quickly into his mouth.

"Yes... uh... I think I should tell you the truth..."

Ron scratched his head vigorously, but saw Maca immediately put down his knife and stretched out his hand, catching two of the iconic red hairs of the Weasleys in a row.

"Don't mind," Macayan said with the hair in Yang's hand, "you go on to say..."

"Uh, sorry..." Ron looked at the hair in his hand tangledly, then subconsciously moved a little further away from the dining table before continuing, "I mean, Hermione's ball gown was stolen... and The one who stole her dress..."

"...It's me." He paused for a long time before finally speaking.

Maca thought for a while, but found something to no avail.

"What then?" He asked suspiciously, "Are you just trying to tell me that you actually have an unusual hobby? Now you can't bear the guilt in your heart, so come to me to talk about it?"

Ron was choked so speechless, he could only raise his head and stare at Maca with wide eyes.

"Don't look at me like that," Maca waved his hand, "I'm just kidding... Just tell me! What happened?"

Ron held back for a while, and finally decided to speak out all the heaviness in his heart.

"Maca, it's like this..." He tried not to make his voice sound too trembling, so as not to show his inner shaking.

After Maca heard it, he didn't have any doubts because of the skipping nature of Ron's topic.

He chewed the food in his mouth again and swallowed them all into his stomach, then put down the tableware, untied the napkins, and put them aside.

Then, he looked at Ron's face full of disappointment and unwillingness.

To be honest, Maca did not expect Ron to say this.He had to admit that Ron had actually grown a lot unconsciously.

For a child like Ron, who has lived in poverty and low self-esteem since he was a child, his psychology is easily distorted.But fortunately, he has a pair of excellent parents, as well as many brothers who have a cheerful personality.

This made his life not as gloomy and boring as he thought.

But in any case, he has been using some second-hand goods since he was a child, and his inferiority complex has continued to grow, gradually filling his heart.

His self-esteem is constantly being eroded and corrupted by almost overflowing inferiority complex, so that it becomes cheaper and cheaper.

But since the last time Ron understood the way of thinking for others under the guidance of Maca, he has discovered the danger of his own mental state.

As a result, he decided not to escape his cowardice and low self-esteem, he wanted to face his own weaknesses squarely.

After all, Ron has always been a Gryffindor little lion, and he doesn't lack courage in his heart.His courage was only concealed by the infinitely magnified low self-esteem.

Now, Ron is obviously growing up, even if he has discovered his goodwill for Hermione, but when he knows that he must have no chance, he is determined to give up.

I have to say that sometimes, "giving up" is also a kind of courage.

However, Maca shook his head slightly.

Giving up is also a kind of courage, but this kind of courage, like his self-esteem, is cheap.

Ron has indeed grown, but this growth has not brought him any qualitative change...

Maca recalled the Ron mentioned in "The Book of Sin", the Ron who grew up for Hermione and sacrificed for Hermione, without even a word.

When Maca and Ron sat facing each other, he felt a kind of realness of flesh and blood.

His eyes were constantly transmitting visual signals to him, reminding him all the time that Ron before him was a flesh and blood, living person.

It was one of his...friends.

"...Ron, I probably understand what you want to say." Maca said seriously, "You have indeed grown up, and you know how to face your own heart... But this is just the first step..."

"On my side, as long as Hermione does not speak to me, I am not qualified to accept or reject. Hermione is a strong and independent girl. I believe that she understands what she is doing... But what about you? ? Do you understand what you are doing?"

Maca's tone is very sincere, neither high nor low, just like an ordinary small chat.But it is precisely because of this calm that Ron can gain his heart without any resistance.

"...What am I doing?" Ron was confused, but he was more focused at this moment than the entanglement, loss and unwillingness of the moment, "I...what am I doing?"

"You can face it now, so..." Maca reached out and nodded Ron's chest, and said calmly, "Then, why don't you break it?"

Ron frowned and looked down at his chest.

He can feel the beating of the heart, and even feel the blood flowing continuously in the blood vessels.He clenched his fists, raised his head abruptly, and fixed Maca's eyes firmly.

"I see, I'm going to defeat you!" Ron shouted loudly, startling the few little wizards in the auditorium.

With a twitch of Maca's mouth, he reached out and gave him a head.

"Beat you! Is your brain broken?" He couldn't laugh or cry, "What you have to do is to break your inner self-esteem, let yourself continue to grow, and win Hermione's heart!"

"..." Ron looked at Maca bluntly, pondered carefully, then nodded.

However, at this moment, near the entrance to the side hall, Hermione was hiding behind the doorpost, biting her lip, her eyes filled with blank expression.

She stood there for a long time before she lowered her head, letting her messy natural curly hair obscure her vision.

"I don't want it." She said so softly.

...

In the afternoon, Moody's "Defense Against the Dark Arts Three Schools Exchange Class" finally began under the expectations.

Yes, Moody's courses are still very attractive to little wizards.With his extensive Auror experience back then, even just sitting down and telling stories can keep the students' eyes intently heard.

What's more, Moody's is still a complete activist.

From the beginning of this semester, Moody's introduced a large number of practical cases to everyone, and used some of the methods used to coach the novice Auror to practice these little ghosts.

Even Maca, who is very demanding in actual combat, agrees with his teaching content.

Moody did not ignore the age of the little wizards, he chose a lot of very basic and effective practice methods.For example, how to wave a magic wand quickly and accurately.

As a top Auror who has experienced countless battles, Moody has many convenient and quick "wild roads". When he narrates those slightly boring repetitive exercises with actual combat cases, every little wizard is Can listen with gusto.

Of course, it is undeniable that this old man is still quite scary in general-at least for the little wizards, his terrifying appearance and the habit of being surprised from time to time are always difficult to get close to.

At this moment, the students were all here, including those of Boothbatten and Durmstrang who also came to the auditorium.

This is the "special classroom" that Moody's applied for. Obviously, he wants to make an impressive scene this time.

However, Moody, who was standing at the front of the auditorium, just stood there with a cane and impatiently. This is just because he discovered that two students were late for this class!
