HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts

Chapter 78 Ron's Self-Doubt

Cygnus looked at Professor Lupin and nodded with a smile, as she carefully examined the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Remus Lupin was a weathered middle-aged man with light brown hair that was a little gray and green eyes that revealed determination and wisdom.

Although his clothes had some patches, they were very neat, giving people a sense of rigor yet kindness.

"You did well, Cygnus."

Professor Lupin came over and said in a gentle voice, "It is really admirable that you can remain calm in the face of the Dementors and cast such a powerful Patronus Charm."

Segnus smiled slightly and said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Professor. I just did what I should do."

Before Professor Lupin had finished his praise, Hermione Granger rushed out from the crowd, fear still lingering on her face, but her eyes were filled with gratitude towards Cygnus.

Hermione rushed over and hugged Seconas without hesitation, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Signus, it's great to have you!" Hermione's voice trembled a little. "When I encountered the Dementors, I just stood there stupidly, unable to do anything. It was you who protected everyone at the critical moment. I'm really useless."

Cygnus patted Hermione's back gently and comforted her with a smile:

"Don't say that, Hermione. We all get scared sometimes, and the important thing is that we support each other."

At this time, Harry Potter watched the warm interaction between Sensei and Hermione from afar, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that Cygnus was undoubtedly kind-hearted, but Ron Weasley had always had a prejudice against her.

Harry looked at Ron beside him. He was staring at the scene over there with a gloomy face, as if he was trying hard to suppress his unhappiness.

Harry hesitated for a moment, but decided to stay with Ron.

He knew that as a friend, he couldn't leave Ron at this time.

Although Harry wanted to go over and congratulate Sigma, he knew that maintaining harmony among friends was more important.

At this time, Ron suddenly said, "Harry, tell me, why does she always get everyone's attention? I admit that she did a good job just now, but that doesn't mean she is the best."

Harry smiled and answered patiently, "Ron, everyone has their own strengths and specialties. Sensei is indeed excellent in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but you are also better than others in many ways. We are all friends and should appreciate and encourage each other."

Ron was still indignant. He bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes piercing through the crowd, staring straight at Cygnus's back.

"One day, I will expose Malfoy's true face."

He said in a firm tone, "She is a venomous snake. She always appears in front of everyone in the most perfect posture, but who knows her true intentions?"

Harry frowned when he heard this. He didn't like hearing such remarks, especially at such a critical moment.

"Ron, don't do this."

He interrupted Ron in a serious tone, "We can't slander others out of jealousy or suspicion. Segnus is our classmate and our friend. She just saved everyone and proved her bravery and strength."

Ron was stunned for a moment, and looking at Harry's determined eyes, the anger in his heart subsided a little.

He knew that what he had just said was a bit too much, but he just couldn't stand that Cygnus was always the center of attention.

Ron lowered his head and remained silent for a while. Harry didn't say anything either. The atmosphere around them seemed a little heavy.

At this time, Neville Longbottom came over with a look of shock on his face.

"Are you two okay?" Neville looked at Ron and Harry and asked with concern.

Harry smiled and patted Neville on the shoulder. "We are fine, Neville. How about you? You were quite brave in facing the Dementors just now."

Neville scratched his head embarrassedly, a blush appeared on his face, and said:

"I can't embarrass Sensenas. Although I'm not usually very good at defense against the dark arts, I can't let myself become a burden to everyone at a critical moment."

Ron looked at Neville and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

He didn't know what kind of love potion Segnace had given to everyone and why everyone liked her so much.

In his opinion, Cygnus was just performing well, but that was not enough for everyone to support her so much.

Ron's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the scene of Cygnus and Pansy Parkinson holding hands.

Pansy was whispering something to Sensei with an admiring look on her face, and Sensei's smile was full of warmth and confidence.

This scene made Ron feel an indescribable emotion in his heart. It was neither jealousy nor resentment, but a deep confusion and loneliness.

He recalled that when he was a child, he always went out with Harry and Hermione. At that time, they were inseparable, as if they were the most solid triangle in the world.

However, with the arrival of Cygnus, there seem to be some subtle changes in this triangle.

Ron's thoughts were constantly pulled at by the excellent academic performance of his brothers and sisters.

His elder brother Bill, talented, handsome and the pride of Gryffindor House, joined the Egyptian Magic Embassy after graduation and became an outstanding wizard representative.

Percy, although a bit old-fashioned, has excellent academic performance, has served as a class monitor for many years, and scored twelve O's in the O.W.L exams in his fifth grade.

The twins Fred and George always make people laugh with their unparalleled humor and magical talents.

Even the youngest, Ginny, has shown surprising talent and courage in the past year.

Ron felt as if he was squeezed into a corner, overshadowed by the brilliance of the people around him.

He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, but he always loses in comparison.

His friends were all unique and brilliant, but he felt that he was ordinary.

Just as Ron was lost in thought, Fred and George suddenly jumped out from the crowd, each holding one of his shoulders, with their unique mischievous smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Ronnie, don't act like the world is ending!" said Fred, patting Ron on the back.

George squinted his eyes and took out a box of colorful candies from his pocket mysteriously. "Would you like to try our newly researched candies? I guarantee that they will make you happy and forget your troubles instantly!"

Ron glanced at the box of candy and the corners of his mouth twitched. He obviously didn't believe that his two brothers would be so kind.

He was well aware of Fred and George's mischievous nature and was extremely skeptical of their so-called "new research candy".

"Don't try to trick me with these weird candies, you two," Ron said grumpily, trying to get out of their clutches.
