Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Chapter 91 Ron Breaks Down, the Cool Girl (Part 1)

Harry, Ron, and Adam were in that box, all quiet and not saying a word.

Harry was a little shy, Ron didn't know how to start a conversation with this "celebrity" and didn't want to say much to Adam, while Adam was fine with anything; if no one spoke, he would sit quietly and look at the scenery.

Finally, after a short while, Ron, unable to bear the silence in the carriage any longer, cleared his throat and said to Harry:

"Um... are you really Harry Potter?"

Qin Yu had just introduced Harry to the Weasleys, and Mrs. Weasley was very enthusiastic towards him. Ron, on the other hand, was still somewhat incredulous, because Harry Potter, who seemed like a legendary figure from a story, was now sitting in the same train compartment as him, face to face.

“Of course…” Harry was not surprised by Ron’s reaction, because many people had reacted similarly to Ron at the Leaky Cauldron, or even more dramatically.

He didn't say much, but skillfully brushed a lock of hair from his forehead—because it was his most obvious physical marker.

When Ron saw the lightning bolt scar that Harry had revealed, his eyes widened in surprise.

Even Adam, who was leaning against the window admiring the scenery, cast a curious and attentive glance his way.

"So... this really was done by the mysterious man? You really escaped from his clutches..." Ron's mouth was agape.

“It should be like this…” Harry paused, shrugged, and said, “But I really don’t remember what happened that day. I only remember a bright green light…”

“That’s it… It’s a terrible, terrible spell… Only an evil and powerful wizard could cast it…” Ron said, staring intently at Harry.

However, this gaze made Harry feel slightly uncomfortable.

Ron quickly realized this and said apologetically, "Sorry, Harry... I got a little too excited... You know, you're really famous..."

“Yes, it’s alright,” Harry said with a smile.

……

Then, since they were chatting, Harry couldn't help but ask Ron about his family background.

After all, that family of six red-haired children was really eye-catching; anyone would want to know more about them.

So Ron started complaining about the troubles of being born into a large family.

"...You didn't see Charlie today because he went to Romania to study dragons. So, there are seven children in our family. I have five older brothers and one younger sister. You should know my sister; she's the little girl who's been watching you curiously..."

Then Ron talked about the pressure his brothers put on him, but of course, he's numb to it now and has even chosen to give up.

However, Harry said he envied that he had so many brothers.

"...If you have so many brothers, you'll know you'll never have anything new, like, I'm wearing Bill's old robes from when he was a kid, and I'm using Charlie's old wand..."

Actually, I also kept a pet mouse, which they left me, but when I left home, it disappeared somewhere and I can't find it anywhere...

Okay, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. I can show you just how old my wand is; the core is even showing a bit..."

As Ron said this, probably to dispel Harry's "envy," he opened the suitcase a crack, fumbled around for a bit, and quickly pulled out a thin wooden stick.

“See, I told you so, didn’t I? Its exterior is worn down, and you can see the unicorn hair inside the tip,” Ron said, handing the wand to Harry.

Moreover, as he said this, he turned his head to the side because he could probably guess that Harry would show a sympathetic or pitying expression at this moment, and he didn't want to see that.

So he regretted it, feeling that he shouldn't have exposed his "financial difficulties" and "embarrassment" to the people he had just met.

However, he couldn't explain why, but in front of Harry, he did want to be more open... but ultimately, his mindset wasn't strong enough.

Then, just as Ron was thinking about these things, he heard Harry Potter say hesitantly, "Um... Ron, this wand doesn't look old, does it? It looks brand new to me..."

"Pshaw, how could that be... huh?"

Ron was about to scoff, but before he could finish his sentence, he turned around and saw that he was actually holding a brand new wand!

His tone changed from sneer to astonishment.

Then, he subconsciously looked at Adam.

The latter remained calm and said to him in a light tone, "You should be able to guess."

Ron immediately remembered the time yesterday when his family and Adam went to Diagon Alley. Fred and George had insisted on dragging him to browse those shops, and they even tried out a wand at Ollivanders, but they didn't buy one afterward...

He looked at the brand-new wand in his hand again and found that it looked very familiar. It was the same wand he had tried out in the wand shop before!

And yesterday, they also visited other stores...

So he stuffed the wand into his pocket, quickly pulled out his suitcase, and opened it to look.

There, indeed, everything was brand new: new robes, new cloaks, new pointed hats, new crucibles and brass scales…

And on those new things, there was a note that read:

Haha, did you get a fright, Ronnie (Ron's nickname)?

There is also a signature at the end:

F\u0026G

It's an abbreviation of Fred and George's names!

Thinking about how impatient he was yesterday when the two of them dragged him shopping, and the vague feelings of inferiority in his heart, and then looking at the new things in his suitcase—he could even see a small stack of Galleons in the corner…

Ron was still a child, and he couldn't hold back any longer. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he started sobbing.

"Um... Ron, are you alright?" Harry was stunned by the little boy's behavior; he didn't know why the boy had started crying as he spoke.

“It’s okay, Harry… Waaah, I’ll be fine after crying for a bit… Waaah, Fred, George, they’re so mean, they just bully me…” Ron said intermittently while wiping away his tears.

……

Harry didn't know what to say for a moment, so he looked at Adam sitting by the window—this quiet little boy seemed to know the whole story.

"It's kind of like a little game they play..." Adam found a somewhat inappropriate way to describe it, as he didn't really understand the way this family got along.

Of course, this is precisely why he was interested in the Weasleys.

He was always full of curiosity about things he didn't understand.

"Alright... well, Ron, I hope you feel better soon..."

After Harry finished speaking, he sat down and watched Ron rummaging through his things, wiping away tears and occasionally chuckling.

This made Harry wonder if the kid had gone mad.

This chapter mainly restores some of the original plot, and then fleshes out the characters and the whole story.

Well, since it's so short, there will definitely be another chapter today.

The Second Watch Beast is back!
