Chapter 12
After William and Harry shook their heads to indicate that no one was there, Ron breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Harry.
"Hello, my name is Ron, Ron Weasley, and I am a freshman at Hogwarts this year. Are you freshmen too?"
Ron greeted William and the others as soon as he sat down.
"William Cavendish is also a freshman this year. William nodded.
"My name is Harry Potter, and I am also a freshman this year." Harry also said.
Hearing Harry Potter's name, Ron exclaimed instantly:"Harry Potter! You said your name is Harry Potter! The boy who survived!"
""Uh... I think so." Harry was a little embarrassed, but he had encountered this situation before in the Leaky Cauldron, so he had some experience.
"You really--you know……"Ron pointed at Harry's forehead.
Harry brushed aside a lock of hair on his forehead, revealing a lightning-shaped scar.
Ron's eyes widened immediately, and even William couldn't help but take a look. It really looked like a lightning symbol.
"Is this what the mysterious man did?" Ron couldn't help asking.
"Yes, but I don't remember it anymore."Harry was a little helpless
"Don't remember anything at all?" Ron asked anxiously.
"Well, I just remember there were lots of green lights, and nothing else." Harry looked troubled.
""Harry, maybe I can tell you something about you." William suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Harry and Ron looked at William in surprise.
Harry hurriedly asked:"William, do you really know about me?"
William nodded:"Yes, but I also learned about you through books, and I don't know whether what is said in the book is true or false, you can just listen to it as a story."
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, William, please tell me what the book says."
""Okay."
William cleared his throat, and Harry and Ron stared at him intently, obviously curious about what William was going to say next.
"The cause of the incident was a prophecy"
"Prophecy?" Harry asked doubtfully.
"That's right, the prophecy mentioned that a boy would be born at the end of the seventh month, with powers unknown to the Dark Lord, and his parents had escaped death from the Dark Lord many times."
Harry nodded and confirmed,"My birthday is indeed July 31, which means I was born at the end of the seventh month."
Ron also looked as if he had suddenly realized something. Although he had heard of Harry Potter's deeds before, it was limited to Harry Potter killing the mysterious man, but he didn't know the details.
"Could it be that the mysterious man wanted to kill Harry because of this prophecy?"
"That's right, after the Dark Lord knew this prophecy, he selected Harry as his opponent after a round of screening and tried to kill him."William continued
"The Dark Lord found Harry, and Harry's parents were killed by the Dark Lord in order to protect him."
"But the Dark Lord's spell didn't work on Harry, so Harry became famous because of this."
"That's why people call you the Boy Who Lived"
"I have heard Hagrid talk about the latter, but William, does the book explain why the spell failed on me?"
Harry pursed his lips and stared at William, hoping to get an answer.
Ron was also very curious about this question and looked at William eagerly.
William shook his head and replied with regret:"Sorry, this question is not recorded in the book. It just says that the Dark Lord disappeared after that."
Hearing this, both of them showed disappointed expressions.
"but……"William hesitated to speak
""But what?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.
William glanced at the two of them and then said:
"But I guess the mysterious power in Harry might be a kind of magic, which was imposed on him by Harry's parents to protect him."
"Of course, this is just my guess.
Harry and Ron thought about it. William's guess made sense.
"Well, that's all I know about Harry from the book."
"William, are all your family wizards?"Harry asked curiously. After all, in his opinion, William knew too much.
William shook his head:"No, I am the only wizard in my family. Before I received the letter from Hogwarts, I didn't even know there were wizards in the world."
"Ron, your whole family should be wizards." William turned to look at Ron.
Ron nodded:"Oh, yes, I think so, my mother has a distant cousin who is an accountant, but we never talk about him."
Harry also looked at Ron with interest:"Then you must have learned a lot of magic, right?"
Ron did not answer Harry's question, after all, he really didn't know any magic, but he didn't want to show his weakness in front of new friends.
So, he changed the subject and said:"I heard that you later lived with Muggles, how were they?"
Harry's attention was indeed diverted, and he only heard him say:
"It's terrible. Of course not everyone is like this, but my aunt and uncle and cousin are terrible. I wish I had three wizard brothers."
"Five. I am the sixth one in my family to go to Hogwarts." Ron looked unhappy.
William laughed and teased:"Your family is really prosperous."
""Yeah, but if you have five brothers, you'll never have anything new. I wear Bill's old robes, Charlie's old wand, and Percy's discarded mice." Ron looked resentful.
William sympathized with Ron, even though he was the only child in the family and didn't have these troubles at all.
Ron took out a fat gray mouse from his inner pocket. It was���Sleep
"Its name is Scabbers. It is useless now. It sleeps all day long. Percy became a prefect. My dad gave him an owl. They couldn't afford it... I mean, they gave me the mouse."
Ron's ears turned red. He seemed to think he talked too much and started looking out the window.
William saw Ron's embarrassment, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Although he was born rich in this life, he was also an ordinary family in his previous life and worried about money.
Harry didn't think it was a big deal that he couldn't afford an owl. After all, he was penniless a month ago and even lived worse than Ron.
Thinking of this, Harry told Ron the truth, saying that he always wore Dudley's old clothes and had never received a decent birthday present.
This seemed to make Ron feel much better.
