struggle

Early the next morning, under the action of the alarm clock, Ginny woke up on time, but she felt a little tired and dizzy.She shook her head, trying to wake herself up a bit, and after a brief grooming, she came to the hall.

Harry and the three of them were already at the long table in Gryffindor, but Hermione's face was still a little stiff, obviously still dissatisfied with Harry and Ron's behavior yesterday.Harry greeted Ginny with a cheery "good morning" when he saw her, and Ron mumbled something vaguely as hello.Hermione pulled Ginny and sat beside her, and enthusiastically brought her bread and handed it to her: "Ginny, you don't look very good, did you just arrive at Hogwarts, did you sleep well last night?" Habit."

"Maybe." Ginny touched her face subconsciously, then picked up the bread and bit it.

After Neville greeted Ginny, he began to wait for the owl to arrive: "I think grandma will send a few things I forgot." Looking out of the hall.

Sure enough, not long after, hundreds of owls swarmed in, and one of them threw a bulging package at Neville's complaint.Then another owl fell straight into Hermione's jug.Ginny pulled out the fainted Errol, took off a red envelope in its mouth, and handed it to Ron, whose face turned pale in an instant, and said sympathetically, "Ron, I advise you to open it quickly, otherwise the consequences will be more serious."

"What's going on?" Harry obviously didn't understand what this meant, and Hermione leaned over curiously.

"Howling letter." Ginny looked at Neville's equally terrified expression, and explained to Harry and Hermione, "And the specific consequences, you will see, or hear, right away."

Ron tore open the envelope with trembling hands, while Ginny and Neville presciently plugged their fingers in their ears.In an instant, a loud noise filled the entire auditorium, and Molly's angry roar made Ron's face blushing so hard that he bled, while Harry and Hermione were already sitting there stunned.Students from the other houses cast curious glances, and unscrupulous laughter came from the long table of Slytherin House. Draco seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and he leaned forward and backward with laughter , Crabbe and Goyle smirked as usual.

Hermione seized the opportunity and began to scold Ron again, while Ron looked impatient, but Harry looked at Ginny guiltily: "Ginny, I made your father subject to censorship..." Ginny interrupted him with a smile, "No, Harry, it's not your fault." So far Dobby hasn't shown up to tell Harry everything, but it's really not Harry's fault.

Percy walked to Ron's side, coughed a few times and cleared his throat: "Ron, I think you already know that your behavior is wrong, I hope you don't make such a mistake again in the future, and use Gryffindor's Collective honor is for consideration, don't always be grandstanding." Then, he glanced at Harry, turned and returned to his seat.

Everyone fell silent for a while, not knowing what to say.At this moment, McGonagall began to hand out the class schedule along the Gryffindor table, diverting everyone's embarrassing atmosphere.Harry glanced at his timetable, and said uncomfortably, "Our first class is herbal medicine, Ginny, how about you?"

"Potions," Ginny replied, looking at her timetable.

"Uh, then you'd better go there early. Professor Snape doesn't like Gryffindor students very much. He always likes to look for opportunities to deduct our points. Ginny, be careful yourself, don't let him take the opportunity." Harry tried to give Ginny some advice, but was interrupted by Hermione: "Harry, don't talk about the professor behind his back, Professor Snape is not that kind of person. Don't be afraid, Ginny, you can do it." Hermione Min smiled encouragingly at Ginny, then turned her head and looked at the two boys sternly, "Have you finished eating? We're going to the greenhouse after eating."

"Okay, we're all done eating, Hermione, you can take a break." Ron took the napkin and wiped his mouth, then threw it on the table, "Ginny, we're leaving first, be careful yourself. "

Hermione wanted to refute something, but Ron took the lead and pulled Harry up, striding out. Harry only had time to smile at Ginny apologetically, and Hermione could only helplessly follow.

Ginny waved to them, stood up too, and walked towards the potions classroom in the basement.Climbing down the stairs, the light gradually dimmed. On both sides of the long passage, torches were lit all day long to illuminate the students.When they got to the Potions classroom, most of the students were already there, and Colin saw Ginny walk in and waved at her desperately.

Ginny smiled at him and sat down beside him.As soon as he sat down, Snape walked in with big strides, and the flying robe rolled up in billows, which was astonishingly imposing.Standing still on the podium, he glanced at the students below who were intimidated by his aura and were silent. He nodded in satisfaction, and after the roll call, he immediately started the class.Ginny couldn't help curling her mouth secretly. Obviously, there was no special savior among the students in their class, so Snape simply saved his poisonous tongue and started the class directly.

After a concise and thorough theoretical explanation, Snape copied the formula for preparing the scabies potion on the blackboard, and said in a low and silky voice, "Next, you can start looking for the medicinal materials you need and try to prepare them. I think as long as you are serious about I have listened to my explanation just now, and I happen to have no stupid words—" He glanced at the Gryffindor cubs who were covering their mouths and snickering, and saw that they fell silent for a moment under his gaze. , continued, "You should all be able to successfully complete the preparation of this potion." As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the students to go to the medicine cabinet to choose materials, while he sat on a chair beside him.

After collecting the materials, all the students teamed up in pairs to set up the crucible and process the materials, while Snape came down from the front and walked among the students with a serious face.Ginny handed Colin the task of crushing the snake's fangs, while she carefully set up the cauldron and began to stew the tentacled slugs.Colin was obviously a little absent-minded, and while poking the snake's fangs, he secretly looked at Ginny, as if he wanted to say something to her.

Ginny watched him hesitant to speak a few times with some amusement, and roughly guessed what he wanted to say.Sure enough, he finally swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously: "Ginny, you seem to know Harry very well?" Seeing her nodding, he continued excitedly, "Then can you please introduce me to him?" What? I want to take a picture of him and ask him to sign it for me."

"Colin, I can introduce you, but I'm afraid Harry doesn't like this, uh, autographing." Ginny smiled apologetically.But Colin obviously didn't understand Ginny's implied hint, and he still looked excited: "It's okay, it's okay, I will tell him myself. Ginny, thank you!" He stretched out his hand excitedly and wanted to pull it away. Ginny's hand, but didn't pay attention to the porcupine quill at hand.

"Oh, no!" Ginny couldn't save her in time, and could only watch helplessly as the porcupine quill fell into the scabies potion that was about to be completed, and the cauldron exploded in an instant, splashing the boiling potion.Ginny only had time to pull the stunned Colin back, and immediately recited the "armor protection" spell, blocking in front of them.

Snape arrived in time to prevent the further splash of the potion, and the silent "clean up" instantly cleaned up the scene, then turned his head and stared at them with a gloomy expression: "Miss Weasley, Mr. Creevey, very Obviously, you didn't listen well to what I just taught, which is why you made such a low-level mistake. Your grade in this Potions class is 'T'. In addition, five points will be deducted from Gryffindor for what you have caused everyone Trouble." With that, he turned and left.

Ginny stared at the wreckage of the bombed cauldron, thinking of the grade of "T" in the first class on the first day of school and the five points deducted from Gryffindor, she couldn't help looking at Colin with tears in her eyes.When Colin saw Ginny's expression, he was obviously at a loss: "Uh, Ginny, I'm very sorry, really, I'm sorry. But you won't stop introducing Harry to me just because of this, right? Right?" Ginny held her forehead helplessly and shook her head at him, in exchange for him grinning: "Ginny, I knew you were a good person. Hehe, I knew that Harry's friends are all Nice guy."

The so-called blind worship of idols is probably what Colin is like. Perhaps for a little Muggle-born wizard, the wizarding world is a wonderful place, and Harry, the savior of the magical world, is more in line with his imagination. Isn't the image of a hero who is admired, and the original Ginny in the original book is also such an existence who blindly worships Harry?Therefore, Ginny just resigned to her fate and turned around to clean up the remaining materials on the operating table, not going to answer Colin's endless reciting of Harry's deeds in "Modern History of Magic".

After finally finishing the day's classes and returning to the common room at night, under Colin's repeated pleading, Ginny could only hold Harry back and relayed Colin's request.Seeing Colin's eager eyes, Harry finally nodded in agreement with his request.But he insisted on taking Ron, Hermione and Ginny to take a photo together, and took a group photo.After taking the photos, Colin ran towards the dormitory excitedly, saying that he would print out the photos as soon as possible and give each of them one at that time.However, Ginny looked at the combination of the iron triangle and herself, and couldn't help but think of the famous four-person group of hijackers that Harry's father and his friends made decades ago. Shaking his head at his own strange association.

The author has something to say: So, Colin was very excited, with serious consequences, and Professor Snape became angry...
