In interpersonal relationships, blindly giving without accepting rewards from others will not make the other person appreciate you more. Instead, it will make others alienate you and even resent you.

Because no one likes the feeling of being indebted to others, sometimes properly accepting others' kindness will bring the relationship between the other person and you closer, because once you accept it, it means that you owe him a favor, and human beings like

This feeling of being indebted to oneself by others. People are sociable and courteous, and the relationship between people can only become closer by coming and going.

Seeing Mike's sincere expression, Franklin was obviously relieved, and a smile appeared on his face again. He excitedly told Mike some dirty information about Rohart, trying to prove that Rohart was an extremely dangerous person.

, Mike's decision to take him with him to see Lockhart was the right one.

Mike did not expose him and continued to talk along with what he said. The two of them came to the auditorium talking and laughing.

There are already many students enjoying lunch in the auditorium. As expected by Mike, today's lunch is quite sumptuous. The main course is Hufflepuff butter chicken and barbecue, and the dessert is Yorkshire pudding. Among them, Hufflepuff butter

Chicken is said to be a delicacy invented by Ms. Hufflepuff. The preparation is extremely complicated. When you take a bite, a rich milky aroma will explode in your mouth. It is very delicious.

All the decorations for last night's dinner have been removed, and the names carved on the walls by some students to commemorate the difficult years spent in the auditorium have also disappeared.

Mike and Franklin quickly sat down under the temptation of the delicious food. On the two plates in front of them, two Hufflepuff butter chickens with the aroma of milk and steam appeared instantly.

Mike had admired this dish for a long time. He was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't care whether it was clean or not. He reached out and pulled off a chicken leg and started to chew on it.

"Um!"

When a big mouthful of chicken leg meat entered his mouth, Mike felt as if he had arrived in heaven on earth. He screamed out in comfort and speeded up his eating at the same time.

Franklin on the side looked similar to Mike, all immersed in the delicious taste of Hufflepuff butter chicken.

"Um, Mike, are you free?"

A familiar voice came, and Mike rolled his eyes, wondering if he was free. Haven't you noticed yet? But he still put down the chicken drumstick in his hand and said, "What's wrong, Harry?"

"I'm sorry. I only found out after listening to Principal Dumbledore's last speech yesterday. It turned out that because of my willfulness, I sacrificed three seniors and almost put you in danger as well."

Harry stood there with a frown on his face, still rubbing his school uniform robes with his hands. Hermione and Ron beside him had the same expression.

"I have nothing to do. After all, I arrived at the scene after the incident." Mike said calmly, "The key is those three seniors. They...their sacrifices were really undeserved."

The look of guilt on Harry's face became a little heavier when he heard this. He was silent for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I have decided. I will ask Professor Dumbledore for leave later. I will personally apologize to their families and give them money."

To compensate, I will not hesitate to empty out the inheritance my parents left me!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked. Ron was the first to scream: "You are crazy! What if they open their mouths? What will you do if they lose all their money?"

"I still have Uncle Vernon. I'll ask them for tuition when the time comes. They won't refuse." Harry's tone became a little hesitant.

"Then...what if the money in your vault is not enough?" Ron continued to ask.

"If it's not enough, I will pay it back slowly in the future. I can pay it off one day." Harry's expression changed again and again, and finally said firmly, "Ron, you don't have to persuade me, I have already decided. If not,

If I do, I will definitely be driven crazy with guilt in the future!”

Mike heard all the conversation between the two, and it was only at this moment that he finally began to look at Harry.

"Harry, I support you." Mike said sincerely, "You are a truly kind person."

Seeing that someone agreed with him, Harry laughed happily. Ron on the side had a look of despair, as if the one who had to pay was not Harry but him. At the same time, he was still muttering: "Merlin, this is a big deal."

A lot of money..."

Mike didn't wait for Harry to say anything more, and then said: "But your financial situation is not optimistic. Do you remember the money you lent me before the first grade started? It seems that it is time to pay you back."

After saying that, Mike reached out to take out the traceless stretching spell bag in his arms. Halfway through, he remembered that his hands were all stained with oil and quickly stopped.

Franklin on the side saw this and ignored that his hands were also dirty. He took out his wand and used it on Mike to clean it up.

Mike nodded and thanked Franklin, took out a bag of invisible stretching charms from his arms and handed it to Harry, saying: "I used your 200 gold galleons to do some business in partnership with the Weasley brothers and made some money.

.Here are 2,000 gold galleons, I hope I can help you."

"No, no, this is too much, I can't have it!" Harry waved his hands and refused after hearing this, "You don't have to pay me back, that's the money I wanted to give to you in the first place."

"Do you still remember what you said to me when you gave me money? We are friends, and friends should help each other. You helped me when I was in the most difficult time, and now, it is my turn to help you.

"Mike put the bag into Harry's hand and said, "Although these two thousand gold galleons may not be able to help you with anything, it is still my intention, so don't take it too little."

Mike's sincere words made Harry's eyes red, and he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He choked and said, "Thank you, thank you, Mike."

"Thank you, we are friends." Mike smiled and patted Harry on the shoulder.

"I'm going to find Principal Dumbledore now." After saying that, Harry ran out of the auditorium like a gust of wind. Hermione quickly followed after seeing this. Ron just stared at the backs of the two of them in despair.

Shouted: "At least finish your lunch first!"

Seeing that the two people ignored him, he slowly walked out of the auditorium.

After all three people left, Franklin asked in confusion: "2,000 gold galleons, is it too much?"

"You think it's not worth it?" Mike picked up the unfinished chicken leg and asked back.

Seeing Franklin nod, Mike said: "Kindness needs to be rewarded. If a kind person keeps doing good things but does not get any rewards, then sooner or later he will become an indifferent person.

Many people sneer at kindness and regard it as chaff, but I think kindness is definitely the most precious and beautiful thing in the world.

Although I am not a good person, and can even be said to be a great evil person, it does not prevent me from appreciating this beauty. So since God cannot give rewards to those who are kind, then I will give them to them. Of course, this is the establishment

On the premise that I can do what I can.”
