Chapter 16 15. Second-hand self-esteem

Chapter 16 15. Second-hand self-esteem

Obviously, Harry's self-introduction stunned the other party.

After a while, the red-haired boy nervously wiped his palms on his pants, and then stretched out his hand like a young adult: "Hello, I...I am Ron, Ron Weasley."

He looked very nervous, and Harry also felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't just - there were a lot of people asking..."

"Oh oh oh," obviously after this incident, Ron no longer had the fanaticism to chase stars, and finally laid his eyes on another mixed-race beautiful girl in the carriage:

"Hello."

Lin An looked at him curiously and had an initial impression of Ron Weasley, who had messy red hair:

"Hello, my name is Lin An. You can call me Lin."

She smiled beautifully, but 11-year-old Ron Weasley was obviously not very good at appreciating beauty (especially among his peers). He turned to talk to Harry Potter again:

"You are really the famous Harry Potter! Merlin! They all said you defeated that man, you are amazing!"

Harry still didn't understand: "What the hell -"

However, there is obviously not much logic in the children's praise. For example, Ron changed the topic at this moment:

"Why do you keep looking at me? Are my clothes too old? Oh God, if you had five brothers, you would be wearing everything."

As he spoke, he seemed to be eager to prove something. He immediately took out a tattered textbook from his bag, obviously turned around a few gloves and tools, and even took out a big, fat rat.

.

"Bill's clothes, Charlie's wand, and the mouse that Percy threw away - that's it. His name is Scabbers, and he's very old."

He babbled.

"Boxi became a prefect, and dad wanted to buy him an owl. They couldn't afford it—I mean, so they gave it to me."

That mouse was really fat, but also really old. It lay there motionless, making people suspect that it was going to die at any time.

But he is missing a toe.

Lin An looked at the mouse carefully - Scabbers, Peter Pettigrew.

But she did nothing, just watched.

Harry didn't look at those things, but looked at Ron who looked angry, as if he saw himself - was he the same when he was wearing Dudley's old clothes?

And it's okay if he can't afford a second owl. A month ago, he was even poorer than Ron.

At this moment, he seemed to be a little touched by what Lin An said at the station.

When I think about it this way, it feels like I have done a lot of wrong things because of my lack of gratitude.

But Lin An patted his shoulder at this moment: "Harry, where is your handkerchief? Lend it to Ron."

"Oh, yes," Harry took out his handkerchief and tugged at the entire pack of gold galleons in his arms: "There's a streak of ash on your nose."

Ron:……

Ron blushed instantly with embarrassment.

He looked helpless with a broken self-esteem.

In fact, from Lin An's point of view, she doesn't think there is anything embarrassing about using second-hand ones.

But it is obvious that during adolescence, people usually become more sensitive and face more direct ill will, so they increasingly want to arm themselves with a decent life.

So she smiled: "Is there any problem with using second-hand books? I also use second-hand books and tools. Before school started, I was still living under a bridge."

"If you don't believe me, ask Harry, he was penniless a month ago -" because the only three pennies he had were sent to her.

Harry is indeed a little reckless, but he is actually very considerate. When Ron was unhappy on the train, he immediately told his tragic story to comfort Ron. He can be considered a sweetheart (if he doesn't grow up).
