Homecoming from Hogwarts

Harry pursed his lips and blinked again, and then he understood why Sirius looked like he was facing an enemy - Sirius thought that Voldemort had become active, and he would definitely do something. , and the first person he will not let go is himself.

Now, something happened again in the Triwizard Tournament held in Hogwarts. The truth behind this incident was confusing, and it also involved his closest friend Hermione. Sirius was afraid that he would make any impulsive moves and put himself at risk. In dangerous places.

Harry was annoyed for a while, but he thought Sirius wouldn't control him like a child who didn't understand anything. As a result, he still didn't change his mind.

Hermione sensed Harry's unhappiness. She gently touched Harry's arm and motioned Harry to look at Sirius carefully.

Sirius, who was sitting there, was also looking at Harry's position, his eyes looked a little melancholy, and he seemed a little cautious.Seeing his appearance, Harry's heart beat hard and his eyes became hot for a moment.In the photo album Hagrid gave him, when his parents got married, Sirius, who was the best man, also looked like a high-spirited and handsome young man. But now, the man sitting next to him is no longer as handsome as he used to be. So cool.

He looks a little older. He is no longer fearless, but has something to worry about.

"All right--"

Harry couldn't say no in any case, so he muttered in an annoyed voice,
"I try not to show off, okay?"

Hermione burst into laughter. For Harry, it was really not easy for him to say that.

"Oh, appropriate adventure activities can still continue-"

Sirius breathed a sigh of relief, his back suddenly straightened, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"I assume you guys didn't have lunch, right?"

"Excuse me -" Sirius raised his hands and said to Mrs. Rosmerta behind the bar, "Boss, can you bring me something to eat? I'm starving, I want more!"

Soon, Mrs. Rosmerta brought delicious chicken sandwiches, and Harry and Hermione were indeed hungry. They were at an age where they were growing rapidly, and both their bodies and their magic power made them need a lot of energy. After Mrs. Rosmerta turned around, the two of them observed the surroundings for a while, and then eagerly stretched out their hands from under the invisibility cloak.

Listening to the rapid chewing sound, Sirius smiled and asked casually,
"By the way, I just forgot to ask why Ron didn't come with you. Is it because James' invisibility cloak can no longer hold you three?"

Hermione's expression suddenly became unnatural. Although she knew that Sirius couldn't see her eyes, she still looked away.

"Well--"

Harry struggled to swallow his food, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"I called him, but he didn't want to come. He lent the Firebolt and said he wanted to play Quidditch--"

"Oh." The smile on Sirius' face faded a bit. He raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "Is Ron unhappy recently?"

Fortunately, there were many customers in the bar now, and all kinds of noisy sounds were intertwined and noisy. No one noticed Harry's violent coughing due to choking on his food. He took the Butterbeer that Sirius had secretly stuffed under the invisibility cloak. After a few swigs and Hermione's constant patting on his back, the blushing Harry finally regained his breath.

"How would you know!"

Harry gasped sharply and looked at Sirius in shock.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Realizing that Harry was so surprised, Sirius was not complacent, but looked a little worried.

"Harry, Hermione and Ron, you three have always been the closest friends. Harry, you have always been the most famous among the three of you. Needless to say, now, Hermione has also become Warriors of the Triwizard Tournament. According to the news I heard, the impact of this tournament will be greater than any previous one.

Amosta seems to have reached a cooperation with the goblins, allowing them to broadcast the game footage in other European countries. The reason why the Daily Prophet did not come to interview you, Hermione, is because they have recently focused on promoting this matter. This means Once the competition begins, Hermione will become famous all over the world, and then only Ron will be unknown.He definitely won't feel good, right? "

Sirius's brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of worry.
"From what I know about Ron, he is not a young wizard with a particularly open-minded mentality and can withstand pressure. Of course he will be a little unhappy, but I thought you must have had an in-depth conversation. Why, haven't you?"

Harry looked at Hermione, only to find that Hermione, who was close at hand, was shrinking her neck and not daring to respond to his eyes. Then, Harry slowly turned his head, his mouth slightly open, his eyes looking confused, "What are you talking about?" What, Sirius?"

Sirius's breath was suffocated. After thinking for a few seconds, he said a little helplessly,
"Don't you realize, Harry, that Ron would probably be jealous of you and Hermione?"

Ron is jealous
Harry's green eyes widened, and the figures of the people coming and going in the bar, including Hermione and Sirius beside him, became hazy, as if they were living in another world.

Harry's frozen thoughts were still flowing slowly. From the night a week ago, when Hermione's name rang out in the Great Hall, he began to recall until just after he left Hogwarts. He gradually expanded and recalled. Little by little about Ron in the past few days, his mind was gradually filled with dull faces——
"envy."

Harry felt a fire burning in his chest, hot and suffocating.
"Jealous about what?" Harry said softly, "Jealous about my ugly scar that gets stared at everywhere I go, or jealousy that someone is eyeing Hermione and planning to kill her in the Contest - -"

Sirius and Hermione didn't speak, but Harry was still talking to himself,

"It's so stupid. I thought he had been worried about Hermione. Maybe he was a little scared, but he was jealous and didn't want to talk to us. It's really stupid."

Harry clenched his fists loudly, his green eyes flashing with fire. He slowly turned his head to look at Hermione, and then he saw a sad expression on Hermione's handsome face.

"You realized it a long time ago, didn't you?" Harry said, "When?"

Hermione continued to be silent for a while, "That night when I returned to Gryffindor Tower."

Harry's breathing suddenly became disordered. He couldn't believe that the friendship he thought was solid had such serious cracks. Moreover, Hermione and Ron had long known about this. Only he, like Being kept in the dark like a fool!

"Why," Harry said through gritted teeth, "why didn't you tell me-"

Tears welled in Hermione's eyes. She didn't know how to answer this question. What could she say?

The heavy breath under the invisibility cloak allowed Sirius to judge Harry's mood at the moment. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly,

"Perhaps, you do need a frank exchange between you. Harry, I think you two need to talk to Ron. You can't ignore the thoughts of friends. You all know that Remus and I and your father James I have occasionally been thinking about things with Peter recently, Harry, if we could have paid more attention to Peter when we were at Hogwarts. Maybe, in the end, he would be able to go on the right path--"

Harry stared at Sirius in disbelief - Peter's betrayal directly led to the death of his parents at the hands of Voldemort, and Sirius was imprisoned for this. Harry knew how much Sirius hated this man. He knew it, but he didn't expect that one day he would hear such words from Sirius's mouth.

"I'll talk to Ron!"

Harry stood up with a swish, and the Invisibility Cloak slipped from his body, exposing Hermione as well.The villagers and students dining around them all stared at him in shock, but Harry turned a blind eye to these looks. He gritted his teeth and gasped hard,

"But before that, I'm going to swell his nose. Maybe this will make his head smarter!"

"Harry!"

With that said, Harry grabbed his Invisibility Cloak and ran out the door. Hermione tried to hold him, but only grabbed the corner of his clothes, and then watched helplessly as the corner of his clothes slipped through her fingers.

Harry ignored those curious peeks, and the fire burning in his heart seemed to ignite his whole body. He couldn't believe that Ron had such stupid ideas, especially because he hid these ideas from Harry. It looks more like betrayal in Lee's eyes!

And just when he was about to open the door, someone outside the bar opened the door first and was about to walk into the Three Broomsticks Bar. Harry couldn't stop walking and bumped into him hard, and the man who was about to walk in She was obviously not as powerful as Harry. She let out a cry of pain and almost flew upside down into the arms of the man who was following her!
Amosta supported Fleur, who suddenly fell into his arms, and looked at Fleur, who was crying in pain and with a bleeding nose. Then, he looked at Harry, who was holding his head on the bar and was speechless.
