After Elwyn, Harry also said yes!
He still looked a little reluctant. This kind of social activity was a big burden on him.
Ron, on the other hand, became angry at Hermione and Elaine's invitation.
He was still upset that Slughorn had not invited him to the party, and every time it was mentioned, he was unhappy.
It had been like this several times before. Almost every invitation made him sullen for days.
"Needless to say, this party is for Slughorn's favorites again!" he said.
"Yes, it's for the Slughorn Club." Hermione seemed to find it interesting and added, "But I didn't invent the name, everyone —"
"The Slughorn Club?!" Ron interrupted Hermione and continued, "It sounds bad, but it's very practical. A party for the slughorns. That's why his club is called the Slughorn Club."
"Don't be like that, Ron!" Harry said, poking him.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Based on Elwyn's understanding of Hermione, Ron's nonsensical words must have angered her.
At that moment, she was glaring angrily at Ron on the other side of the table.
"You're jealous because Slughorn didn't invite you!" Hermione retorted. "But it's not our fault."
"Me? Jealous?! Of course not. Do you think I want to go to a slughorn party?! " Ron yelled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I'm not interested, not at all. Anyway, have a good time at the party. Maybe Slughorn will make you the king and queen of the slughorns. "
He stood up abruptly as he spoke, and the others around him looked at him in surprise.
"All right, you two!" Elwyn said, indicating that the matter was over. "Sit down, Ron!"
He knew very well how sensitive Ron was when it came to such matters. Hermione's words just now were too sharp.
However, she couldn't be blamed for this. This was the truth.
Besides, Ron's previous remarks were indeed very unpleasant to hear.
Everyone knew that Slughorn's club was called the Slughorn Club because the word in its name had the same meaning as the word "slug". Not all the members of the club were slugs.
There was also the slug king and queen. This metaphor was too hurtful!
It wasn't their fault that Ron wasn't invited to the party …
"You guys eat, I still have to go find Lavender," Ron said with a red face, not looking at Elwyn and Hermione.
"We're allowed to bring guests!" Hermione said, her face flushed. "I was just about to invite you. Since you think the party is so boring, I won't bother!"
Upon hearing her words, Ron, who was about to leave, visibly stiffened.
But he didn't look back in the end and just walked away!
"Let him calm down for a while. He'll be fine," Harry said, helplessly looking at Ron's back.
Since this incident, Ron refused to be with them.
Harry wanted to persuade him to apologize to Hermione, but it had little effect.
As for Hermione, she looked calm on the surface, as if nothing had happened. But in fact, when it was just her and Elwyn left, she let down her expectations and burst into tears. She cried a lot and said a lot to Elwyn.
Well, Hermione had always been like this.
She was strong on the surface. Her heart was actually as sensitive as other girls.
She just didn't show it easily. This was Hermione.
Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was actually in a mess with turbulent waves.
After a meeting, she looked like a mess on the surface, but her heart was firm.
Just like in the first year, Hermione ran to the girls' bathroom and cried for a long time because of Harry and Ron's mockery and targeting. She didn't even attend the party. It wasn't until Harry and Ron saved her in the end that the three of them became good friends.
This wasn't a big deal. Over the years, Hermione and Ron had quarreled countless times.
In the end, they would reconcile. Both of their personalities were like this. They didn't have good intentions.
But this time, there were no monsters. Ron seemed to be planning on holding on and not apologizing.
In fact, his mood recently became very bad.
After this incident, he almost didn't interact with Elwyn, Hermione, and Elaine.
That wasn't the end. Not long after, he had a big fight with Jenny, and the whole academy knew about it.
The cause of the matter was Katie Bell. Although Professor Meg said that she would recover before the first Quidditch game, Katie's parents insisted that she go to St. Mungo Magic Hospital for a check-up. She wouldn't be discharged in a short time.
This meant that the promising Gryffindor Quidditch team that Harry had carefully trained since September lacked a ball chaser. This year, the team didn't recruit any substitutes, and Harry was reluctant to find someone to replace Katie.
He hoped Katie would come back, and he expected it.
But seeing that the first game against Slytherin was approaching, he finally had to admit that Katie wouldn't be able to come back.
For this reason, Harry personally invited several people to join the team temporarily, such as Elwyn's roommate, Vicky Frobisher, etc. But his invitation was rejected. In the end, he had to choose Dean Thomas, who performed well in the selection.
In order to invite Dean, Harry also made a difficult choice.
Because Harry's other roommate, Dean's best friend, Simo, was also very interested in Quidditch. His Quidditch level was similar to Dean's, so he was very dissatisfied with Harry's choice.
Harry knew that this would happen. The reason why he didn't want Dean to participate in the game was because he knew that Simo would certainly be unhappy. But he had to put the team's interests first. Dean flew faster than Simo in the selection.
Harry finally chose Dean to replace Katie. Simo wasn't the only one who was dissatisfied.
In the public lounge, there was a lot of discussion about Harry's choice of two roommates to join the team. Not to mention Dean, who wasn't recognized by everyone, Ron, as the team's goalkeeper, had been questioned for a long time.
Many people said that the reason why Ron was able to join the team was mainly because of Harry's special care.
It was especially so for Mike McClagan, who had been talking about it everywhere. The main reason why he had not been selected was because Elijah and Jenny had deliberately targeted him, and the performance of the flying broomstick was not as good as the Asterisk and the fire crossbow arrows. It was not because he was not good enough.
But this guy's character was really bad. He spread the news that Harry had cheated to let Ron and Dean join the team.
Many people sympathized with his experience. This led to the increasing pressure on Harry and his team before the game started. He must ensure that they win the upcoming game against Slytherin. If Gryffindor won, the whole school would forget that they had criticized him and claim that they knew that this was a great team. But if they lost, the consequences would be unimaginable …
Harry was quite tolerant of it; he had put up with far worse comments since he had been at school, and did not particularly take it to heart.
But Ron's mood became more and more unstable. He didn't know if it was because of these comments or because of the morning's matter.
