Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 61
Harry couldn't help showing embarrassment at the moment, because from the perspective of a bystander, the facts were indeed as Draco said.

After all, although Draco's attitude was not very good when he first came in, it was indeed Ron who made a slip of the tongue to provoke Draco and raised his wand.

But at this time, Harry couldn't really ignore it and call Draco to teach Ron a lesson.

He turned his head and glanced at Ron, whose face had turned from red to pale behind him. Although helpless, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize to Draco for him.

"Sorry, Draco!...I apologize for Ron being like you. He was indeed too impulsive. I hope you can forgive him."

"..."

Facing Harry Potter standing in front of him, Draco rarely continued to pursue the victory, and even made a mockery.

He was silent for a moment, and the wand in his hand suddenly swung downward.

“VIPERA EVANESCA (The Snake Disappears in Black Smoke)”

Along with Draco's spell, the black phosphorous snake turned into a puff of smoke again, returned to his wand, and turned into the tip of his wand.

"Remember... Harry Potter."

Draco tucked his wand back into his robes, not caring about Ron, who was nearly killed in terror behind Harry.

He looked into Harry's eyes and said deeply

"I spared him this time because of your face..."

Suddenly, Draco paused, and quickly added another sentence.

"No, to be precise, it is because of the relationship between you and my uncle that I will give you face and forgive this Weasley idiot—do you understand?"

"...Uh, probably."

Listening to Draco's long list of words, Harry was a little dazed for a while, but still nodded subconsciously, indicating that he understood most of the meaning.

"great……"

After getting an affirmative answer, Draco nodded in satisfaction, and the expression on his face regained the original arrogance.

After raising his chin slightly at the end and casting a glance at Ron, he flung his robe chicly, turned around and walked straight out of the box where Harry and Ron were.

"Go! Goyle, Crabbe."

Immediately afterwards, without looking back, he yelled at the two followers who were still standing at the door, looking at his back with adoration.

The two hurriedly dragged their luggage and followed excitedly.

"Here comes Draco!"

"You are so handsome! Draco!"

"Hahaha, did you see that Weasley's expression? I think he almost peed his pants!"

The voices of Gore and Crabbe didn't deliberately lower their voices, and it could even be said that they shouted out on purpose.

Even though he was far away from the box, Harry could still hear the cheerful voices of the two of them.

When the three of them left completely and there was no movement, Ron sat back in his seat sullenly with a red face like a monkey's butt.

He raised his head and glanced carefully at Harry, seeing that Harry was still looking at him, so he explained in a low voice
"It was an accident... In fact, it was my plan to fall to the ground just now. I planned to overturn him with a sliding spade when he let the snake come over, and then snatch his wand... No, you stopped him, Seriously! If it weren't for this, he would have been crying on the ground by now!"

"........."

Harry was speechless for a moment.

He was not stupid, so he naturally knew that there was no substantial difference between what Ron said and nonsense.

But in order to care about the face of his new friend, he still didn't refute anything, sat back in his seat, and then spoke a few words of comfort to Ron.

After a while, Ron finally recovered from the embarrassment just now.But the depression of being hanged and beaten in front of the new friends he met just now still hasn't dissipated, sitting in the seat at this moment, still chattering with Harry endlessly.

"What's so great about him? Really! If I had a new wand too, he would never be my match! At that time, he will be the one who gets scared!"

"I guess he's definitely cheating! Maybe the snake he summoned wasn't magic at all, but just a tool for manipulating people—my brother and the others often study these things, because I know them well too..."

And Harry had no choice but to lower his head and play with the wand in his hand, answering one or two "um" and "yes" from time to time to show that he was still listening.

But Ron didn't care about Harry's obviously perfunctory attitude at the moment.In his heart, he just wanted to find a channel to vent.

It's better to find a good reason to embellish your own failures that are not so failures.Reach some sort of triumphant height mentally.

"I guess he can't use a straw to suck up eighteen chocolate beans in one breath!!"

…………

Just as Ron continued to chatter to make amends for himself, a voice from the door suddenly interrupted a new set of reasons he was thinking of.

"Sorry, did you see a toad... There was a kid named Neville just now..."

"No, get out of here quickly!"

Facing another voice that suddenly intervened, Ron, who was still angry, became even more angry.

Without even looking at it, he waved his hand at the door irritably and yelled angrily.

"Hey!"

At the door, the girl who was looking inside while asking questions had no idea that she would receive such sudden hostility.

He froze in place for a moment, and then got stuck when he was going to continue explaining, and looked at the two boys in the box in bewilderment.

But immediately, she also reacted, her eyebrows were raised slightly, and a pair of eyes stared at Ron, bluntly questioning

"I don't think I knew you before? Is this how you greet people you meet for the first time!?"

Ron, on the other hand, didn't even look at her anymore, put his hands on the table, and plunged into it, ignoring her at all.

"………Ugh"

Harry frowned in some pain, let out a long sigh, and stood up from his seat again.

Less than three hours had passed since he had just boarded the express train to Hogwarts, but he was already beginning to feel tired.

He even had a faint premonition in his heart, after Hogwarts, I'm afraid this tiredness will continue in a different way...

"Sorry, I apologize for my friend. Something just happened, which caused him to be in a bad mood."

"My name is Harry Potter and his name is Ron. Nice to meet you."

"Hermione, Hermione Granger... I hope that friend of yours is really as happy as you say."
