Ron really didn't have to be coy, even when he said these words, he had to consider the emotions of Hermione and Jon.
No matter how poor the Weasley family had been, they were still a complete family.
And whether it is Hermione or Jon, they are basically no different from orphans now.
After Ron took them to walk around the Burrow in the yard, he returned to the house and took the two of them into his room.
"We just moved here not long ago. In fact, it was the second time I came to my own room. I was at school when we moved. Bill helped pack everything. He was much more careful than George and Fred.
He has never forgotten anything of mine, and he also knows how to protect my privacy and will not look through it randomly.”
It can be seen that his room is indeed very simple. In addition to the Quidditch team posters on the wall, there is an old broomstick, as well as models of Bludger, Quaffle and Golden Snitch.
"But when I was in the UK, my room looked like this. Bill restored it here. How about it? It's not bad."
Ron shrugged at them.
Jon walked around the room and commented.
“It’s not as messy as expected, it feels really good.”
"Hey, are you trying to hurt me? I told you that Bill helped me move it here. If I mess it up now, my mother will scold me."
Hermione seemed to be interested in the books on the bookshelf in Ron's room, took out one, flipped through it, and then said.
"When I was at school, I saw the ghost who came to see Nick."
Her words obviously attracted the attention of Jon and Ron.
"you know?"
"I've seen her in the book. According to the photos in it, she should be right."
Hermione flipped through the book called "The Legend of Ghosts" in her hand, then paused on one of the pages and opened it to the two boys.
"Did you see it? It's this lady."
That page was an introduction to the resident ghost of Ravenclaw in Hogwarts Castle—Ms. Grey.
Jon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He had not forgotten what he said to himself when he first picked up Nick on the Hogwarts ship. After Voldemort occupied Hogwarts Castle, the ghosts in the castle
They all lost their restraints and left the school that had lost its founding significance.
"Are you sure it's her?"
Hermione nodded and said.
"I'm sure that when the lady first came to the school, I happened to find a suitable place to read in front of the school gate, because the sunshine was very good that afternoon, and Professor Porter suggested that I don't stay bored in the library all the time. Then I
I saw this ghost floating in from outside the door, and she stopped to ask me where Nick was. Just like the illustration in this book, she was wearing a wide-brimmed pointed hat. She was very beautiful, but also a little cold."
The appearance she described was indeed exactly the same as Ms. Grey's appearance. After hearing this, Ron sat on the bed and said carelessly.
"This is not a strange thing. Nick and this Gray lady were both resident ghosts of Hogwarts before. They must have been friends for hundreds of years. Maybe they have been separated for a long time, and now we are together again."
A big advantage, as long as Jon plays steadily, we will regain the castle a year later, so old friends want to meet and catch up on old times."
Although Ron planted flags all over his body, like an old general on the stage, Jon just stared at him and then thought about Ms. Grey.
Of course he would not think that things were as simple as Ron said. In fact, Ms. Gray's true identity was the biological daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts.
Even though she is an unfilial daughter, her unusual identity and background cannot be concealed.
Nick had said before that when she left Hogwarts, she kept talking about how she had made a mistake again, a second mistake.
This second mistake is not difficult to guess. The biggest mistake in Ms. Gray's life was to steal her mother's crown, which ultimately led to her death.
Another mistake she made after her death was to be seduced by Lord Voldemort when she was a student. Not only did she reveal her identity, she also told him where the Ravenclaw Diadem was hidden.
Jon speculated that the second mistake she made after Voldemort defeated Dumbledore and occupied Hogwarts Castle was referring to giving the crown to Voldemort.
This is indeed an extremely stupid move. When Jon saw this passage in the original book in his previous life, he couldn't help but complain about how charming the young Voldemort was, and how he could actually seduce an old ghost who had lived for thousands of years.
.
Now that she is looking for Nick, the most likely reason is related to the portrait of Slytherin.
After all, even if it was just a portrait, as her mother's former best friend, Salazar Slytherin was also one of her elders and could be considered an uncle. With the news about him, there was no reason why she wouldn't come to see him.
See.
"If you are curious, just ask Nick when you go back."
Jon said while picking up the Golden Snitch on Ron's desk.
"If you can tell us, Nick will definitely not hide it."
When he said this, Hermione was looking at him without blinking. Jon noticed her gaze and asked doubtfully.
"What's wrong?"
"I also have a question, why did you start to speak strangely more than a month ago?"
Hearing Hermione's question, Ron seemed to have reacted at this moment. He walked up to Jon with a strange look on his face, held his chin and thought.
"When Hermione said this, I also discovered that Jon's accent is indeed a bit strange now, as if his teeth were stuck with toffee."
Jon looked at them helplessly, but he actually had no intention of hiding it from them.
He opened his mouth, revealing the mandrake blade he always held inside, and then explained.
"I'm preparing to learn a side magic. The requirement for learning is to hold this leaf in your mouth."
Ron stared at his unlearned eyes.
"What kind of magic needs leaves?"
"Some magic requires you to drink your own saliva!" Jon said with a look of disgust.
Ron's face was full of indifference.
"We don't drink our own saliva every day, and it's not a big deal."
"I asked you to spit your saliva into a small bottle and then bury it in the ground for half a year or even a year before drinking. Do you still think it's no big deal?"
Following Jon's words, Ron thought about the scene for a moment, then suddenly had a look of disgust on his face and kept shaking his head like a rattle.
