Chapter 1741: A War with No Victor (Part 191)
Chapter 1741: A War with No Victor (Part 191)
Although they spoke about it, this matter ultimately fell under Ron's personal affairs. George decided to consult Fred, who, surprisingly, was quite excited about the matter, despite its potential seriousness. After George's reminder, they both understood that even though they wanted to see Ron's predicament, they couldn't take things too far. So, they sought Ginny's advice on the matter.
"So, you want to match them up?"
Ginny was equally surprised by the news, not because of Ron and Lavender's relationship, but because a girl had always liked Ron, a guy like him.
In Lavender, Ginny faintly saw a reflection of her past self. Moreover, according to George, Miss Brown seemed to have changed significantly.
In truth, if possible, Ginny also wanted to bring the two together. The probability of Ron successfully pursuing Hermione was almost zero, and it would be better for him to find a girl who liked him and spend the rest of his life with her rather than continue to embarrass himself.
However, the issue was that this was Ron's personal matter, and even family members shouldn't interfere. So, after a brief discussion, the three decided to consult other family members.
The news spread like wildfire through Ginny to Mrs. Weasley, whose face lit up with a particularly colorful expression as she was busy taking care of the family every day.
"This..."
"I think Ron should meet Miss Brown in person, regardless of whether he likes her or not. He should clarify things face-to-face."
Mr. Weasley, upon learning of this, felt a toothache coming on. It was common for couples to break up after graduating from school, and Ron and Percy's actions couldn't be said to be wrong, only that they weren't handled properly. If both parties had clarified things, it wouldn't have come to this.
Especially if similar things happened repeatedly, it might give the Weasley family a very bad reputation.
Who knew if his other two engaged sons would also pull off similar stunts?
Especially Fred and Angelina, there were almost no cases of female Quidditch players getting married while still active.
After convening a Weasley family meeting to discuss the matter, it was ultimately Mrs. Weasley who confronted Ron.
"What's going on between you and Miss Brown?"
Mrs. Weasley didn't give Ron a chance to speak and continued to ask, "George said he met Miss Brown in Diagon Alley a few days ago."
When Mrs. Weasley mentioned Lavender, Ron's expression suddenly turned sour.
But Mrs. Weasley didn't pay attention to her son's changing expression and continued, "I specifically asked Ginny, and she said Miss Brown was your girlfriend at school. The fact that she writes to you often shows that she has always liked you."
As she spoke, Mrs. Weasley handed the letter she had received that day to Ron, "I don't know if you still like Miss Brown or not, but if I were you, I'd open the letter and read its contents, then take the time to meet with Miss Brown in person and clarify this matter with her directly."
"Don't do it by letter," Mrs. Weasley warned, "Do you know what people are saying about Percy? They say he broke up with his previous girlfriend to date the daughter of the Head of the Department of Magical Transportation just to climb the ranks in the Ministry of Magic."
"You'd better not follow Percy's example. Handle this matter properly, do you understand?" Mrs. Weasley almost poked Ron's chest with her finger, "If you like her, invite her to dinner at home.
"This is an unavoidable situation. Fred and George's engagement caught Mr. and Mrs. Weasley off guard."
"I know!" Ron replied dryly, taking the letter from Mrs. Weasley.
But Mrs. Weasley didn't let him leave just yet; she gestured outside the living room, and George walked in, holding a cup of hot chocolate.
As Ron glared at him, George calmly put down his cup and began talking about Lavender.
"You know, that jerk Percy didn't even break up with his ex-girlfriend properly. He just dumped her without explanation, which made Miss Kritva very upset with him. A few days ago, Lavender seemed to have run into Miss Kritva at the Witch Beauty Shop..."
George spoke with an annoying tone, and just as Ron was becoming impatient, he suddenly said, "Meeting Miss Brown won't be a loss for you. She's become very pretty, and you might not even recognize her!"
"This is my personal matter, and I'll handle it myself," Ron said, already at his limit from his family's comments. He stormed upstairs with the letter.
"Ron doesn't seem to like Miss Brown much," Mrs. Weasley said, looking at her son.
"Ginny told me that Ron likes Hermione now," Fred said, entering from outside and sharing the latest gossip about Ron with his family.
"He likes Hermione?" Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were a bit surprised but not entirely.
After all, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had been through so much together, and it seemed normal for feelings beyond friendship to develop.
To be honest, the Weasley family didn't dislike Hermione.
"But the problem is that Hermione doesn't like Ron; she only sees him as a good friend," Fred said, not hiding his mockery. "So, Ron is just one-sidedly crushing on Hermione."
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After all, they had eloped not long after graduation, and their relationship had been stable, so they hadn't considered these issues.
"Actually, I think Miss Brown is quite nice. They were a couple during school, and she's always liked Ron," George suddenly said. "In Albert's words, if you have a girl who genuinely likes you, you should cherish her."
"The more we interfere, the more likely we are to upset Ron. Let's leave it to him to handle. I believe he can manage this," Mr. Weasley ultimately decided to trust his son.
After all, Ron had grown up and could make his own decisions.
"Hmph, I don't think that guy can handle it well," Fred scoffed, rolling his eyes. "If it were that easy, he wouldn't have kept delaying, and he doesn't even have the courage to confess to Hermione."
"Alright, let's not talk about Ron anymore. Let's discuss your wedding plans!" Mrs. Weasley clearly didn't want to hear more of these worries and shifted her focus to her twin sons, Fred and George, who had also given their parents a hard time.
"The wedding... Didn't we already discuss this before?" Fred and George exchanged glances, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.
