Chapter 274: "Absolutely No Thorns"
"Perhaps Professor Lupin... hiss~"
A sudden gust of cold wind swept into Ron's collar, causing him to swallow the remaining half of his sentence. He examined the window of the common room and cautiously picked up a piece of broken glass. "There's actually a hole here, hasn't anyone fixed it?"Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Impatiently, Hermione said, "It's just a matter of casting a spell, can't you give it a try?"
Back in their dormitory, Ron said to Harry, "Maybe it was her cat, I find it a bit odd, especially the way it looked at me..."
Harry didn't pursue this topic, nor did he tell Ron about the fact that he had tossed Crookshanks off his bed two or three times. In his mind, the cat seemed to have a peculiar fondness for Scabbers' scent. Even after his disappearance, it often came around, perhaps regretting not getting a snack? But Harry couldn't be certain that if Scabbers were still here, he wouldn't have been driven to suddenly become a dark wizard due to the cat's pestering. "Maybe he couldn't bear Crookshanks' harassment, so he left," he thought. In a way, this cat seemed to have saved both him and Ron's lives.
As Harry took off his clothes and searched for a new topic, he asked, "By the way, what were you about to say just now?"
Ron's hands, which were about to take off his shoes, paused, and he furrowed his brow, carefully recollecting, "I was going to say, maybe Professor Lupin intended to use your Boggart-banishing spell doll instead of the boggart."
After a few seconds, Harry suddenly realized, and he exclaimed excitedly, "You're right, Professor Snape wrote on the card that the doll could help me. I originally thought I could use it to overcome my fear of the boggart, to prevent another mishap during the Quidditch match. But now, it seems that Professor Snape had foreseen this day long ago."
Ron chuckled as he changed into his pajamas, "Well, the difference isn't that big. You used it to convince Wood to let you continue in the match. Remember, the first time he saw that thing, he nearly passed out..."
Even though Ron was exaggerating a bit, Harry couldn't help but burst into laughter, especially when he imagined the burly Wood shrinking into the chair like a kitten.
From the bed across the room, Neville mumbled sleepily, "Harry? What's going on?"
"Nothing, just go back to sleep," he quickly replied.
Lying in bed, Harry hoped fervently that he wouldn't miss the upcoming Quidditch practice, just like how Hermione never missed any of her elective classes - it was magical, but he wanted the results.
...
In the following days, besides attending classes and going to the library, Felix spent a considerable amount of time sorting through ancient magic - the instructional steps for the Lumos spell - which he had borrowed from Dumbledore.
Running over, Harry lifted the spell and helped Ron up, whispering, "Are you up for another round?"
"Bring it on, I want to experience your magic a few more timeshiss~" Ron grimaced, "Did your magic mutate? I feel like my arse got pricked by thorns."
The students surrounding them all took a step back. A few girlsLavender Brown, Parvati Patillooked at them with disdain.
Harry hastily explained, "No, it's probably just his skin swelling, which caused the sensation. I've experienced it" He stopped short, realizing he was digging himself into a hole.
Now even Ginny's gaze towards him turned odd.
Harry gave up on explaining, and he glared at Ron, irritated, and said, "Are you ready?"
"Wait"
"Bang!"
Ron fell to the ground again. Harry earnestly addressed the others, "You can check, there are absolutely no thorns..."
