Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 284 Embarrassment

After transplanting the mandrakes and experiencing the pain of fighting with the violent mandrakes, I dragged my painful body back to the castle, covered in sweat and mud, and asked Harry about his conversation with Lockhart.

(I noticed that Hermione straightened her back immediately when she heard Lockhart's name.)

Harry's eyes widened in confusion as he began:

"I don't understand at all..."

Based on Harry's description, Lockhart actually meant to warn him. Although the words were very euphemistic, the summary was this. Because the entrance to Platform 9 was blocked, Harry and Ron had to go to Hogwarts in another way, but Lockhart thought they were lying and mistakenly believed that Harry was deceiving the teachers of Hogwarts in order to show off, so he gave him a groundless lecture.

Lockhart's roundabout way of saying it (Hermione called it "poetic and beautiful") was actually telling Harry: "You may be the 'boy who lived', but don't get carried away by it."

"As expected of a Ravenclaw, he does things in a very sinister way..."

Although this may be a bit biased towards Ravenclaw, asking a 12-year-old boy to give such a suggestive warning is insidious. An adult actually did this to a child.

While comforting Harry, I was thinking that I must write to Sirius later. At this moment, Hermione suddenly spoke up to defend Lockhart:

"It's not nice of you to say that! The teacher deliberately took on this responsibility for Harry's own good!"

"Hermione, you should not think positively about everything because of Lockhart..."

Seeing Hermione lose her usual calmness and intelligence, I couldn't help but sigh.

However, Harry's suffering was far from over.

——After the Herbology class, we finished the Transfiguration class and had lunch in the courtyard. Hermione sat on the stone steps, reading Lockhart's Beautiful Voyage with Vampires obsessively, while Harry and I were discussing Quidditch.

"Ronnie, will you participate in the Quidditch selection this year?" Harry asked me expectantly.

I shrugged and replied, "Even if I pass, I'll only be a substitute this year. The current roster is already perfect."

The current Gryffindor Quidditch team is the same as last year. Wood, the captain, is still a sixth-year student. As long as he hasn't graduated or the players are not injured, there will be no vacancies in the team. I want to be the goalkeeper.

In this case, I plan to concentrate on learning magic and lay a solid foundation in my lower grades so that I can have more time to participate in Quidditch in my higher grades.

We were chatting when we suddenly noticed someone looking at Harry. Almost at the same time, Harry also saw him. When their eyes met, the man blushed instantly.

"Hello Harry, my name is Colin Creevey."

A little boy approached Harry timidly. Colin was a big fan of Harry. He excitedly said, "Can I take a picture of you?" "I know everything about you." Harry was overwhelmed and could only blink at him.

I found it strange when I read the "original". Colin only knew Harry through books, but his enthusiasm was as enthusiastic as that of a fan...

Colin completely ignored Hermione and me and focused on Harry, which caused us to attract a lot of attention. Harry was obviously uncomfortable, but Colin was completely unaware.

(Looks like I need to help...)

Seeing Harry looking at me for help, I decided to step forward and help him out. ——Lunch break was almost over.

"Mr. Creevy? I know you're a fan of Harry, but you should also be aware of your surroundings."

I tried not to sound harsh, but since I didn't really like Colin, my words might have been a little cold. But Harry was really bothered, so I said it bluntly. Anyway, it didn't matter to me if Colin didn't like me.

"Uh... who are you?" Colin looked at me curiously, obviously he hadn't noticed me at all before.

I couldn't help but sigh, and replied with a hint of sarcasm: "My name is Ronaldinho Weasley. Obviously, I'm a second-year Gryffindor student, your senior, and a good friend of Harry. Just now you said 'you know everything about Harry', but you don't even know me and Hermione, how can you be so confident that you know Harry?"

In hindsight, maybe I was a bit too harsh, but he interrupted our conversation and ignored us, which was extremely rude, so I guess the sarcasm was understandable.

My words made Colin's face flush red, I didn't know whether it was shame or anger. I decided to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson. I felt that if I didn't say it directly, he might not understand.

"I understand that you are excited to see your idol. But did you notice that Harry was chatting with us just now? You interrupted him and kept talking without considering his feelings. Also, your voice was too loud. You know we are in the atrium now, right? There are many other students here. Some are taking a nap on the lawn, but your voice woke them up."

This is true. A boy was taking a nap, but he had to wake up because Colin was too loud.

If it was a Gryffindor student, he would probably have received a somewhat rough "education", while if it was a Ravenclaw, he would have probably been taught a lesson with harsh words.

"I didn't mean it!" Colin retorted indignantly.

I raised an eyebrow and responded calmly, "Oh, so you think it's okay as long as you didn't do it on purpose? Even if your behavior has affected so many people? As your senior, let me remind you that selfish behavior will bring trouble. At least as your senior, I have the responsibility to tell you this. Don't you see how embarrassed Harry is? Don't you realize that everyone's eyes are on you? Hogwarts is a place of collective living, and your selfish behavior may affect the entire college. You can admire Harry, but if your behavior bothers him, next time I will report it directly to the student president."

After saying that, I ignored the stunned Colin and turned around to signal Harry and Hermione to leave the embarrassing scene.
