A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 592 Ron Weasley, the Medicine Man

Under Hermione's gentle persuasion, Anne realized her mistake.

Filled with regret, she finally changed everything.

"I'm sure I won't get a high score," Annie said, resting her chin on her hand in distress.

"Professor Trelawney enjoys seeing other people suffer."

"Then you can come for a numerology reading."

Hermione mimicked William's gesture, gently pinching his cheek and laughing, "Professor Victor is much more interesting than Professor Terry Laurie."

After spending the summer together, Hermione's impression of Professor Trelawney had improved considerably.

I think she's quite interesting outside of class.

Therefore, I no longer directly call her a liar.

"But I think the divination class is more worth looking forward to." Annie scratched Boba's chin, and the fat cat purred.

She knew Nicole could make predictions and was involved in sports betting. If she learned how to do it, she could bet on sports too.

Sigh, I should have had my brother make an alchemical artifact that could predict the future.

Just then, a large number of animals flew into the auditorium.

There are many owls, but even more are seagulls, hawks, and other birds that can cross the sea and fly long distances.

Everyone noticed it, but no one found it surprising.

Because this kind of thing happens every day.

A massive amount of letters was dumped on the Gryffindor desk, nearly overwhelming William and Hermione.

The two were also helpless.

Their experience in Paris last year, coupled with promotion from the French and British Ministries of Magic, greatly increased their global fame.

This year, after their trip to Venice, the number of their fervent fans reached an alarming level.

And with the Death Eaters appearing at the Quidditch World Cup, William single-handedly saved so many people... gaining him a huge new wave of fans.

It's no exaggeration to say that William and Hermione are just as famous worldwide as Dumbledore... and perhaps even more famous.

After all, Dumbledore's last moment of glory was more than a decade ago during the Wizarding Wars, where he had multiple solo battles with Voldemort, the second Dark Lord.

Even earlier, back in 45, Dumbledore knocked Grindelwald to the ground.

Compared to William and Hermione, he was an old man who had long since passed his prime.

They have no good looks, no impressive achievements... they're all mediocre.

Everyone started helping to open the emails, filtering out spam messages and finding the useful ones.

"Wow, these are all letters from Beauxbatons." Anne held up a large handful of envelopes and opened one.

"Oh, this witch's name is Rose. She said she's very grateful to you for saving her last time, brother."

Anne glanced at Hermione and gave her a mischievous smile.

"She said she would come to Hogwarts at the end of the month to thank you in person."

"Who is Rose?" William scratched his head and asked, puzzled.

"You forgot? It was one of the students you saved at the Quidditch World Cup," Hermione said softly.

"She was only wearing pajamas at the time, and you were carrying her horizontally, don't you remember?!"

William quickly shook his head, indicating that he did not remember.

Of course he remembers, but now... he can only say he doesn't remember.

"Oh dear, this one is for Hermione, thanking her for saving Paris and confessing his feelings to her. It's also from Beauxbatons."

Annie looked up, her two ponytails tilting back, her bright eyes blinking, and her face showing an expression that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

The excitement was definitely building, and Hermione was preparing to give Anne another beating.

William completely ignored the two troublesome sisters and continued searching through the pile of letters.

He quickly found Teresa's letter; she would be coming to Hogwarts at the end of October. She also asked if the Black Lake was big enough.

This question left William a little unsure; was she driving a gondola... or an aircraft carrier?

Harry and Ron came over and, seeing so many letters, helped open them.

Ron disassembled it for a while, then suddenly shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked at him.

"Unbelievable!" Ron said in a tone of great shock.

"Krum actually wrote to you! It's Krum, Harry! William! Look!"

The other students also looked in this direction.

"Keep your voice down, Ron!" Hermione said. "Don't get so worked up, he's just a Quidditch player."

"Just a Quidditch player?" Ron stared at her, seemingly unable to believe his ears.

"Hermione—she's one of the best Seekers in the world! Do you know how famous she is?"

Anne laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Ron said angrily.

"And how do you know... how famous my brother and Hermione are?" Anne raised her eyebrows and immediately retorted.

Ron was speechless for a moment.

How famous are the two?

It's just that all the magical newspapers in the world use their photos as headlines.

From the Venice Incident to the Quidditch World Cup.

So, in that sense... Krum really is just a Quidditch player.

"Are you really not going to open it and take a look?" Ron was still unwilling to give up.

William and Hermione both shook their heads.

There were just too many letters; any wizards I didn't recognize were all categorized as "spam."

"Can I have it?" Ron asked, his eyes filled with expectation. He was prepared to keep the signature on the envelope.

Ron was even more excited after receiving permission and began searching for famous people in the letters.

In just a short time, he discovered letters from more than a dozen famous wizards. Among them were many invitations to Quidditch clubs.

Even the Irish national team's Seeker, Lynch, was among them.

He made a fortune... He collected a lot of autographs this time.

"Ah, it's letters from Gabrielle and Fleur." Anne happily held up the two letters.

"Great! When is Fleur coming?" Hermione asked immediately.

"Arrived at Hogwarts on October 31st."

"Who is Furong?"

Seeing Hermione looking so happy, Harry asked in confusion.

"A student at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Hermione explained.

"You know students from Beauxbatons?" Harry was genuinely surprised.

"Phlegm?" Ron looked disgusted. "What a nasty name."

"Hibiscus," Hermione corrected, "not phlegm."

"I don't understand French anyway," Ron chuckled. "Anyway, the pronunciation is the same."

"It's different!" Hermione snapped. "She's a good friend of mine and William's, stop using that disgusting term!"

Ron pursed his lips and muttered to himself, "A person with a name like that probably isn't very good-looking."

He suddenly stood up and stammered, "...I'm leaving now."

He hurriedly ran away into the distance.

Seeing Ron run away, Dean and Seamus, who were some distance away, roared and gave chase.

"Ron, if you're so capable of owing money, then don't come back to the dorm tonight!" Dean took off his shoe and threw it out.

Ron was hit on the head, but he still ran away without looking back.

"..."

Everyone looked at Harry.

Ginny immediately asked, "What happened?!"

Harry gave a wry smile.

What could happen?

To sum it up in one sentence: The creditors have come knocking on our door to collect their debts.

Last year, Peter transformed into Ron using a compound decoction.

Before leaving, Peter took some wool.

Not only did they take away the pocket money Ron had painstakingly saved over the years, but they also borrowed more than thirty Galleons in his name.

Ron had no idea about this.

So during the World Cup, he thought he had money, but he was just hiding it at school.

So he borrowed money from Harry to buy various goods.

I bought two statues of Krum alone, as well as a commemorative coin for England's top 16 teams...

At this point, Ron thought he could cover up the hole.

Although his saved allowance wasn't enough to pay Harry back, thanks to their relationship, he could slowly pay back the rest with his monthly allowance.

On the train, Akali's Mystery Shop lowered prices again. This is a once-a-year opportunity to grab a bargain; if you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year.

Ron couldn't resist the temptation and used the installment payment method to buy a talisman he had wanted for a long time.

The price he paid was that he lost all his allowance for the year and had to pay Akali's Mystery Shop every month on the 9th.

If it's gone, it's gone... Anyway, I can eat and drink at school and mooch off Harry when I go out.

This is also the secret to how he saved up so much pocket money.

After the dinner party ended, Ron, having eaten and drunk his fill, returned to his dorm and reached out to touch something... Oh no, where's my secret stash of money?!

Where's my money?!

Where's the money?!

Ron felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if the sky had fallen.

The last time I felt this desperate was when I turned into a groundhog and was hung outside the castle by a rope used by Ha.

Ron immediately went to ask Harry what was going on.

After a quick discussion, the two concluded that Peter must have stolen it.

Harry then told Ron some more bad news: Peter had lent everyone thirty Galleons before he left.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, making Ron even contemplate jumping off a building.

During the World Cup, he borrowed twenty Galleons from Harry. Now Peter has tricked him again, making it fifty Galleons in total.

As for pocket money... all his pocket money this year came from Akali's Secret Shop, so he didn't have any pocket money at all!

He had absolutely no extra income!

Should I tell my family?

Stop kidding me!

That's half a month's salary for his father!

Believe it or not... Mom rushed to Hogwarts overnight and killed him with rat poison!

Ron thought for a moment, then mustered up his courage and went to borrow it from Harry.

But the problem is... Harry doesn't have any money right now either.

When I arrived, I used all my money to buy things from Akali's Secret Shop, and I only had a few Galleons on me for emergencies.

So... he could only stall, running away whenever he saw his roommate.

And so, the news that Ron Weasley owed money and wouldn't pay it back... began to circulate at Hogwarts!

Ron hid for two days, but in the end, the twins had no choice but to step in and pay back the money.

Percy's job is unstable and his salary is low. He lost a bet on the final match last year to Penelope and still owes the twins money.

Ron owes several dozen Galleons again.

The twins suddenly became the Weasley brothers' biggest creditors.

But are the twins philanthropists? Of course not.

Since Prefect Robert graduated, William has been lacking a good, stable drug user.

Even twins are in short supply.

Ron has finally become... a drug man!
