Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 678 Quietly changing

"vomit!"

With a violent vomiting sound, Ron fell heavily to the ground and was completely unable to get up. Harry glanced at his watch. Exactly twenty minutes had passed since Ron started his avoidance training.

Compared with the beginning, Ron looked much miserable. His whole body was drenched in the stinky juice of the big dung eggs, and vomit fell to the ground along the corners of his mouth. This disgusting juice made Ron think with all his strength. He wanted to avoid it, but the pain in many parts of his body almost deprived him of his ability to move. When he fell to the ground, he could do nothing except twitching like cramps.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and there was more emotion than sympathy in their eyes. After all, Ron's miserable state reminded him of the time when they first started training.

It's time to call it a day -

Hermione and Harry reached a consensus with their eyes. They walked to Ron. Hermione took out her wand and pointed at Ron, who was bruised and swollen on the ground and dripping with sweat.

"Clean up!"

Immediately afterwards, an eraser seemed to pass over Ron's body invisibly, removing all the dirt on his body. However, this magic could not completely refresh Ron, and the sweat still stained Ron's clothes. It must be wet.

"Come on, Ron—"

Harry carefully helped Ron up, who was almost fainting. Then, he half-crouched behind Ron, took his hands from Ron's armpits, held Ron's body, and slowly dragged him to Harry. Min used a summoning spell to get up from the chairs neatly stacked under one wall of the classroom.

"How do you feel, Ron?"

Harry held Ron's shoulders, because this was the only way to ensure that Ron sat in the chair instead of slumping down. He asked with concern on his face, but Ron, who was almost unconscious, just mumbled and couldn't listen. Know what he is talking about.

"Drink some water, it'll make you feel better--"

Hermione pointed her wand at Ron's pale lips and summoned a small stream of water. And as the slightly cool spring flowed into his throat, Ron finally seemed to be more awake, able to open his mouth actively and swallow the water.

"Huhu. Hiss--"

Ron's breathing sound was like an old bellows that was being pulled quickly, and every gasp would affect the muscles of his body. Under the stimulation of pain, his numb nerves became more acute, and he grimaced in pain. .

"How am I doing?"

After another two minutes, Ron was able to control his actions to a certain extent. He nodded to Harry, indicating that he no longer needed to support him, and then raised his head and handed his back and head to the seat. The chair handle asked in a thin mosquito voice.

"Excellent!" Harry praised.

To be honest, if it were Ron in the past, even if he didn't give up immediately after trying those big shit balls, he would have complained immediately after training, or complained, or shouted to give up. But now, he The first sentence was asking about his performance, which surprised both Harry and Hermione.

"You impress me, Ron!"

Hermione lifted her hair that was scattered in front of her eyes, smiled, and said frankly to Ron.

But Harry and Hermione's appreciation did not make Ron ecstatic. He just smiled weakly, and then shook his head slightly,

"It's really crazy. I can't believe how you persisted. With this crazy training method, it's a miracle that there have been no casualties in the physical education class so far."

"The key is--"

Harry showed a wry smile,

"Professor Brain is not that easy to talk to. After entering the second stage of training, he will not allow anyone to withdraw. Padma is Parvati's sister. She even wanted to ask Professor Flitwick to intercede and allow them to Escape from gym class. But in the end she seemed to give up on the idea."

"Oh--"

Hermione shrugged.

"In fact, Padma did go to see Professor Flitwick. She told Professor Flitwick that the intensity of the physical education class made it impossible for her to study other courses with peace of mind, and Professor Flitwick also went to see Brian privately. The professor talked, but Professor Brain told him that he would not let any young wizard who entered the second stage of training leave his course unless he was kicked out of Hogwarts."

Facing Harry's stunned look, Hermione said innocently, "Luna told me——"

To be honest, Ron's performance in the first training was not that outstanding, but this was expected. Even Luna and Neville, who were considered very talented in this training, did not perform well for the first time. The performance during training was equally terrible. Ron didn't scream to give up immediately after the experience, which was already very satisfying.

Harry and Hermione were equally experienced in how to deal with trauma after training. These injuries may seem serious, but in fact, applying some whitewash is enough to fix them.

Hermione handed Harry the fresh food she had brought and stayed away for a while. Harry asked Ron to lie down on the desk they used for dueling theory classes, and applied some whitening fluid on Ron's back. Ron, who had regained some mobility, took care of the rest.

As the sun sets towards the west, some of the heat contained in the sun is easily taken away by the howling north wind, and the Black Lake finally freezes completely under the extremely low temperature. The cold forced many young wizards to leave the outside grounds and enter the castle to escape the cold. Some daring students actually jumped into the frozen black lake and started skating. Their heroic appearance also won the hearts of those who watched the excitement on the lake shore. The students' cheers.

The three of them stood by the window and looked at the misbehaving students on the Black Lake for a while. They didn't look back until Filch, who was notified, hurried over and pushed all the students ashore.

"I feel much better!"

Ron, who had rested for more than half an hour, swayed his arms, took a deep breath, and said happily.

"Okay, that's the end of this training--"

Harry glanced at his watch again.

"Dinner won't start for a while. The time before then is enough for us to finish today's running exercises and then go back to the dormitory and take a hot shower--"

Hermione agreed with Harry's proposal, but Ron looked around at the armor that had severely damaged him. While showing fear on his face, there was still a bit of unfulfilled interest in his eyes, but he also knew very well that he didn't This is a way to become a 'master' in one fell swoop.

Ron walked behind the starting line and picked up the robe and cloak he had thrown on the ground. As he was putting on the first sleeve——

Click——

The door of the physical education classroom was pushed open without warning, and three people who were eager to isolate themselves from the severe cold quickly squeezed in. Then these three people discovered Harry, Ron, and Hermione who were about to leave.

Almost as soon as the two parties discovered each other, the atmosphere in the physical education classroom solidified. Ron, who was half-dressed, stopped moving, while Harry and Hermione looked at the intruder, their eyes suddenly condensed.

Draco's slightly indifferent eyes were revealed on Harry, while Pansy Parkinson glanced sideways at Hermione with contempt in her eyes. On the contrary, Astoria of the Greengrass family had a calm temperament and no objection. What hostility the three Gryffindors showed.

Harry and Malfoy looked at each other, their thoughts wandering.

Although they met several times a week in various courses, the real confrontation like this in private seemed to be at the beginning of this semester, when the Daily Prophet got Mr. Weasley's name wrong, and Malfoy complained to Ron because of it. After some sarcasm, this conflict even involved Professor Blaine and Moody. The two professors gave a "not so exciting" confrontation in full view of the public. The reason why it was said to be not so exciting was because Blaine Professor En just used a magic spell in an understatement, which made Professor Moody very embarrassed.
-

Since that time, Malfoy seemed less keen on causing conflicts as before, and it didn't take long for Malfoy to spend more and more time with Parkinson and Greengrass when he was at school. Crabbe and Goyle.

All these changes originated from Professor Blaine's physical education class, the beginning of the third phase of teaching.

Draco easily noticed the vigilance and disgust in Harry's eyes. At Hogwarts, only Harry Potter would stare at him with such eyes. This made him feel annoyed, but in his heart, he felt a little annoyed. Seconds later, Draco did not attack immediately. His eyes moved away from Harry and only stayed on Hermione for a second before settling on the shamed descendant of the pure-blood family.

"What's wrong, Weasley?"

Draco, who easily discovered some clues, looked at Ron with a trace of ridicule on his lips uncontrollably.

"Have you started to change your mind?"
