The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
In the Savior's dormitory, Harry was preparing for his routine training with Li Huo later.
“Is Albert really going to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts?” Hermione said this in front of her two friends for an unknown number of times.
“Hermione, I know you’re looking forward to meeting Albert again, but you’ve been nagging me about it several times in the past few days.”
Ron, who had just put on his cloak, glared at Hermione dissatisfiedly, protesting against the repeated harassment of his ears.
"I, no, I just...this is very unlike Albert's character." Hermione said in a panic.
“Oh, what do you mean?”
Ginny handed Harry the raincoat to prevent them from getting caught in heavy rain when they went out later.
It is still the rainy season in the UK and it may rain everywhere.
“Thank you, Ginny.”
After Harry arranged his equipment, he reached out and took the cloak from Ginny and put it on himself.
“You’re welcome, Harry.”
Ginny said as she stepped forward and suddenly kissed Harry on the cheek. Then she made a face at Ron, who looked extremely ugly, and walked away.
“Are you dating?”
Ron's face seemed to have been severely beaten and looked extremely ugly.
"What?"
Harry was confused. He didn't expect Ginny to take the initiative to kiss him.
“Ron…”
Just as Hermione was about to speak, Ron raised his hand to stop her.
"you…"
“Shut up, Ron. You don’t know anything.”
Hermione looked at the man who was becoming abnormal, and really wanted to punch him to wake him up completely.
“What don’t I know?”
Ron was startled by Hermione's imposing manner.
"Ginny likes Harry, can't you tell at all?" Hermione noticed the embarrassment on Harry's face and said softly, "Ginny has always liked you, I think you should..."
“I thought she just admired the lightning scar on my head.” Harry moved his hair to reveal the lightning scar on his forehead.
"Don't be silly Harry, no one will admire you for so long just because of a scar." Hermione felt that Harry was really emotionally slow, or that he was just pretending that he didn't know anything.
“So, Ginny has always liked Harry?” Ron looked at Hermione dumbfounded, as if he had heard a very shocking news.
"Yes." Hermione sighed, "You two are really slow in terms of relationships. No wonder you haven't found a girlfriend yet."
"You are the same," Ron said angrily, "So, Ginny is going to pursue Harry now?"
"Can we not talk about this?" Harry tried to interrupt the topic. He always felt awkward talking about relationship issues in front of his friends, especially when the person was Ron's sister.
Hermione ignored Ron, stared into Harry's eyes, and suddenly said, "I reminded Ginny not long ago that if she wants to do something, she needs to hurry up."
Ron was stunned and looked at Hermione in disbelief, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Hermione ignored Ron who was like a piece of wood and turned to ask Harry.
“And you, Harry, do you like Ginny?”
"This..." Harry didn't expect Hermione to be so direct. He couldn't help but froze, and then smiled bitterly: "This is not a question of whether you like her or not. I can't involve her. Ginny has a bright future, but besides face-to-face Confrontation... I mean, except for the mysterious man, there is nothing."
"The situation is not as bad as you think." Hermione comforted softly: "Besides, Ginny is not a fool. Of course she knows the current situation, and she doesn't expect you to get married in the end. She just seizes the last chance and doesn't want to Let yourself regret it.”
Ron opened his mouth, but found that he was speechless. He couldn't help but turn his head and glare at Hermione who was holding the wand.
“Dumbledore didn’t say that you have the power of love that You-Know-Who doesn’t have.”
Harry looked at Hermione dumbfounded, changed the topic and said, "Okay, it's time for us to set off."
“Harry, do you like Ginny?” Hermione continued to ask.
"I like it." Hermione admitted directly, "Albert is the first friend I made at Hogwarts."
“Sounds like perfunctory.”
"I have always admired him, just like other girls. The only difference is that I am his friend." Hermione's words contained bitterness that could not be concealed. "Probably when I was in second grade, I was just like other girls. I like him very much, but it’s a pity that he has a girlfriend. You don’t know how many girls have fallen out of love after the news spread that he has a girlfriend.”
"Later, his relationship was very stable until they got married not long ago." Hermione noticed the strange looks in Harry and Ron's eyes, shrugged and said, "Of course I know it's impossible for us, but that doesn't hinder I once liked him, I just regret that I didn't have time to confess to him, although I also know that he only regarded me as a friend, what about you Harry."
"Me? Probably... like it. If I were just an ordinary wizard, I should accept this relationship, but you should know my current situation. I no longer expect those feelings, and I don't want to cause trouble for Ginny. "Harry added with some embarrassment: "Although I only regard Ginny as Ron's sister most of the time, I don't deny that Ginny is indeed very likable now."
Hermione seemed satisfied with this answer, but Ron beside her was not satisfied with it. He didn't understand why Hermione did that at all.
"When did you start to like to match other people's feelings?" Ron looked at Harry's leaving figure and said to Hermione who was also about to leave, "You shouldn't..."
“Didn’t you notice that something was wrong with Harry?” Hermione stopped and turned to stare at Ron, “I don’t know how you became his friend.”
“What do you mean?” Ron was confused.
"I'm sure the only thing Harry wants to do now is to drag the mysterious man to die with him." Hermione looked at Ron expressionlessly and said, "That's not good. If it continues, something might happen." Good thing."
"What's the bad thing?" Luo Nen asked after swallowing.
"Harry will probably die," Hermione said, trembling her lips.
“That’s just…”
"So you are really a fool." Hermione said impatiently, "Harry is now desperate to kill the mysterious man. If he continues, he will definitely do something drastic because he wants to kill the mysterious man. thing."
“But, aren’t we also risking our lives to deal with the mysterious man?” Ron felt that the whole thing was inexplicable.
"It's different." Hermione felt tired talking to Ron. "Even if something goes wrong, Albert can help us."
“He is so powerful, knows almost everything, and is also hostile to the mysterious man. Do you really think he is hiding because he is timid and afraid of the mysterious man?”
"So, why don't we give him the task?" Ron noticed that Hermione looked like she was looking at an idiot and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
They are currently dividing labor and cooperating.
They were responsible for finding the Horcruxes, and Albert was helping Harry gather helpers.
"What does this have to do with you setting him up with Ginny?" Ron hurriedly changed the subject.
"Don't you think this is bad?" Hermione asked, "You probably don't want Harry to die because of this."
“Of course...I’m not saying it’s bad, but...”
"You should also support Tonks and Lupin being together." Hermione suddenly asked again.
“It shouldn’t matter!”
"Of course it does matter. I know what you are worried about." Hermione took a deep look at Ron and said, "But there is nothing wrong with it. Ginny likes Harry, and Harry also has a crush on Ginny. They are There's nothing wrong with being together, are you worried that Ginny will be affected by Harry's relationship, or do you think Harry will die?"
"I didn't say that." Ron was speechless. "Of course I have confidence in Harry."
"Then why do you still object to them being together?" Hermione simply couldn't understand Ron's train of thought, "You must be jealous, right?"
“I didn’t, I just didn’t want Ginny to get hurt.”
"Do you really think Ginny will be hurt?" Hermione's expression was particularly strange. "She not only found a boyfriend at Hogwarts, but she didn't even have a girlfriend. Why do you think so?"
These words were like a needle, piercing Ron's heart deeply.
"If there is no shared experience as the basis of the relationship, after Harry defeats the mysterious man and becomes the real savior, Ginny may have to go up several notches to become Harry's girlfriend." Hermione said meaningfully: " This shared experience between them is the most precious asset. Ginny knows this very well, but you... really don’t understand at all. We are not just bringing Harry and Ginny together, but we also hope that Harry can continue to live. Go down."
At this moment, Ron once again felt that his IQ was not enough, and he really didn't understand what this had to do with letting Harry continue to live.
"Okay, you've fooled me." Ron took a deep breath and asked the doubts in his heart, "What does this have to do with letting Harry live?"
Hermione took a deep breath and said, "Harry now wants to drag the mysterious man to die with him. I don't know why he has such thoughts, but since he has become indifferent to many things now, he should realize that we need to Diverting his attention from such stupid thoughts and finding Harry a girlfriend is undoubtedly the best way."
"But why don't you just go and tell him?" Ron was even more confused.
"If it really worked, I would have done that a long time ago." Hermione felt very tired and didn't want to tell Ron this.
“Okay, I get it.” Ron nodded stupidly.
"Come on Ron, we're leaving." Harry's voice came from the corridor outside.
"coming."
Actually, what concerned Ron the most was not the relationship between Harry and Ginny, but Hermione's previous words, which undoubtedly hurt him a lot.
