“Shut up!” Ron roared. “My business is none of your concern!”
“I’m not shutting up!” Ginny retorted without backing down. “It’s none of your business!”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped them away, turned, and ran away.
Ron sat there, stunned, watching Ginny's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He muttered to himself, "How could this be... She's always liked Harry... Why is she suddenly with Levin?"
Hermione was drawn by the sudden argument. Seeing Ron's distraught look and Ginny's departing figure, she gently shook her head: "Ginny did like Harry before, but that was years ago. Since something happened, her feelings for Harry have completely changed."
Harry observed all of this silently, Cho Chang's image still lingering in his mind—and of course, Ronnie's. He wasn't particularly interested in getting involved in Ron and Ginny's argument; if he had to choose one to support, it would only be Ron.
But he was still somewhat surprised to see Ron so out of control.
Hearing Hermione's words, Ron was still trembling with anger, his face flushed red, as if Ginny's love affair was some unforgivable crime.
Just then, Luna's singing voice suddenly rang out, hitting the nail on the head: "No wonder even George and Fred knew about this, while you were kept in the dark. Ginny definitely knows you'll be furious when you hear the news... You really are meddling too much."
Ron was about to retort to Luna when he saw Hermione, Luna, Gabrielle, and Astoria all stand up and chase after Ginny in the direction she had left, to comfort their best friend.
Ron sat alone in the chair, his clenched fist waving in the air a few times before finally falling limply to his sides.
He angrily cursed Levin's name, as if Levin was responsible for everything.
Harry watched Ron lose control and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"So Ron has such a strong sister complex. Luckily, I didn't get too close to Ginny back then, or he might have torn me to pieces by now."
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
Subsequently, with the patient comfort and warm companionship of Hermione and her friends, Ginny gradually calmed down, cheered up, and persevered in helping Levin complete the final selection.
During the selection process, Levin demonstrated outstanding leadership skills and keen insight.
He not only discerningly selected two highly promising new chasers from among many candidates—Chambers and Bradley—but also quickly established an initial rapport and trust with them.
In a short period of time, the new team members have been able to skillfully cooperate with Levin's tactical arrangements, demonstrating amazing teamwork.
This display of strength made the Quidditch teams from the other three houses, who had come to gather intelligence, feel uneasy.
Unbeknownst to them, Levine had an even bigger surprise in store for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
The selection process lasted all morning, and after it finally ended, Levin hurriedly returned to the auditorium for lunch.
Cho Chang, Hermione, and others naturally accompanied him, as did the Weasley twins, Harry and Ron.
On the way, his gaze inadvertently caught the subtle atmosphere between Ginny and Ron. From their stiff body language and avoided eye contact, Levin keenly sensed something was amiss.
However, it's not appropriate to concern ourselves with this issue at this time.
After dinner, he found Ginny alone and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen between you and Ron?"
Ginny hesitated at first, but under Levin's gentle gaze, she finally told him what had happened.
After hearing the whole story from Ginny, Levin was immediately amused.
Ron clearly overestimated his importance to Ginny and wanted to demonstrate his authority as an older brother.
However, Ginny's decision to fall out with Ron for her sake is truly touching, showcasing her deep affection for him.
He looked into Ginny's eyes and said softly, "It seems that our little Ginny has grown up and is no longer the little girl who could be manipulated by her brother."
In fact, what kind of family status could Ron possibly have over Ginny?
He's more or less the younger brother in the family.
After all, in the Weasley family, Ron was only slightly higher in status than the ghoul in the attic.
Even the old owl Errol is more favored than Ron.
Not to mention Ginny, the only daughter in the family, who has six older brothers.

Chapter 512 Ron Loses the Right to Choose a Partner
Seeing Ginny pouting and looking so wronged, Levin's heart was moved. He gently cupped her face and soothed the girl with a tender kiss.
As her first kiss, Levin gently guided her, gradually relaxing her mind and body, immersing her in this tender and affectionate moment.
When Ginny, panting, parted from Levin, the anger and resentment in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a deep sense of happiness and affection.
If Luna were here right now, she would definitely see a whole bunch of "pink bubbles" surrounding Ginny.
Seeing that the girl's emotions gradually calmed down, Levin breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Ginny was a strong-willed girl with a grudge-holding nature, so he began to devise a plan for Ginny on how to "get revenge" on Ron.
"The Gryffindor Quidditch selection this afternoon is a great opportunity..." He whispered a few words in Ginny's ear, and the girl's eyes immediately lit up.
“You mean…” Ginny grinned mischievously, “during the selection process, I can…”
“That’s right,” Levin nodded. “I heard Ron is planning to run for goalkeeper, and you’re the Chaser. During the selection process, practice sessions between goalkeepers and Chasers are essential. You’ll have to take good care of him then.”
Ginny clenched her fist, her eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "Don't worry, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
Levin certainly had full confidence in Ginny.
In the original story, Ginny already possessed extraordinary talent in Quidditch, and now, having consumed a full set of permanent attribute potions and been personally trained by him, Ginny is even more formidable.
He believes that Ginny will definitely be able to show amazing strength on the court.
On the contrary, it's Ravenclaw who need to worry about how to deal with Ginny.
Time flew by and it was soon afternoon, and the Gryffindor Quidditch player selection was about to begin.
Unlike Ravenclaw, Gryffindor has a limited number of places available for selection, and the selection is only conducted for a few vacant spots created by the graduation or withdrawal of senior students.
The positions to be selected include one goalkeeper, one chaser, and at most one substitute.
After observing the Ravenclaw selection process in the morning, the lion cubs were all eager to perform well in the afternoon, determined not to lose to Ravenclaw.
As they left the locker room, their steps were firm and powerful, their faces beaming with fighting spirit and anticipation.
However, as I stepped onto the sun-drenched stadium, a series of piercing screams and jeers suddenly rang in my ears.
It turned out to be an anti-Harry alliance formed by members of the Slytherin Quidditch team and some young wizards who had blindly believed the Daily Prophet. They gathered in the center of the stands, making unrestrained taunts and trying to undermine Gryffindor's morale.
This selection process was a nightmare for Harry and Ron.
During the selection process, Ron gripped the broom handle tightly, appearing extremely nervous. When he saw the Quake ball flying towards him, he instinctively lunged forward, but lost control due to his excitement.
With a loud "bang," he and his broom crashed directly into Katie's face.
Katie clutched her nose in pain, blood seeping through her fingers. Ron turned pale with fright and quickly apologized, but Katie's nosebleed wouldn't stop.
The Slytherin students on the field burst into laughter at the sight. They stomped their feet and clapped their hands, as if it were the funniest performance they had ever seen.
What humiliated Ron even more was that the Slytherins even made up a little tune mocking his ball-catching skills.
Ron's mental fortitude was not strong; the song "Weasley Is Our King" felt more like a cruel mockery and humiliation to him.
Whenever the song started, he could feel a pricking pain in his back, as if everyone was looking at him with mocking eyes, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
On the court, this pressure increased exponentially, which directly led to him watching helplessly as the Quaffle flew through his hands several times, giving the opponent an easy scoring opportunity.
To make matters worse, he was targeted by his own people.
Just like Levin said, Ginny was running for Chaser, and Ron was running for Goalkeeper.
One part of the selection process requires goalkeeper candidates to compete against chaser candidates.
When Captain Angelina announced the roster of opponents, Ron's heart sank to the bottom.
He was chosen to fight against Ginny, a “domestic civil war” he could not escape.
He suspected that George and Fred were behind all of this, since such things were exactly in line with the twins' perverse sense of humor.
On the court, Ginny's performance could only be described as "stunning." She made ten consecutive shots, each one accurately penetrating Ron's defense, as if Levin had possessed her.
Ron tried his best to stop the incoming Quaffles, and this time, everyone was amazed by Ginny's performance. Even the Anti-Harry Alliance forgot to sing "Weasley is Our King".
But even without the pressure of this song, Ron's every save was still in vain.
He felt like a clown being made a fool of, losing all face in front of everyone.
Ginny won, and won cleanly and decisively.
But she didn't give up. After the match, with a mocking smile on her face, she ran up to Ron and said loudly, "Look at you! Your grades aren't as good as your sister's, you can't beat her at Quidditch, and yet you have such a bad temper. You always have to interfere in your sister's private affairs. You deserve to never find a girlfriend."
That curse pierced Ron's heart like a sharp knife.
Having lost to his own sister in front of everyone, and then being told those things by her, Ron felt utterly humiliated and had lost all right to choose a partner at school.
The thought of this made his face turn ashen, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with rage. For a fleeting moment, he truly wanted to pull out his wand and have a real duel with Ginny.
Fortunately, he calmed down in the end and abandoned the decision.
Otherwise, he would definitely suffer another humiliation.
Harry watched this "family civil war" unfold from the sidelines.
He had never before discovered Ginny's amazing talent and skill in Quidditch. Even Harry admired her performance and even had the urge to consider her a replacement for Ronnie and Cho Chang.
In terms of appearance, Ginny and Ronnie are about 80% similar; in terms of Quidditch skills, Ginny is about 80% as good as Cho Chang on the field.
That's all, I dare not think any further...
Given Ron's reaction this morning when he objected to Ginny's relationship, he didn't want to fall out with Ron over a momentary admiration.
However, Harry couldn't help but worry about Ron.
He knew how much Ginny's actions had affected Ron; such a crushing defeat could very well impact Ron's score in the selection process.
· ········Requesting flowers···· ·········
“Harry, I know Ron is your best friend, but his performance wasn’t ideal.” After the selection, Angelina approached Harry and discussed the matter with him.
Harry is Gryffindor's Seeker, the team's ace, and has a lot of influence within the team, so Angelina must consider his opinion when making her choice.
“I know very well that the Weasley family has produced a number of excellent players; George and Fred were both very good…”
Harry didn't notice that Angelina paused when she mentioned Fred.
"...Charlie Weasley was also the team's ace back then, but that doesn't mean Ron can necessarily replicate their success. Vicki Frobisher and Jeffrey Hooper both flew better than him tonight."
