Just a second before Ron said the names of these two young people, Harry had already guessed who they were, because when he just passed by the living room, the magical wall clock represented these two young people. The pointer also points to the location of 'home'.
This was obviously not the first time Ron had made a joke at home, because both Charlie and Bill just curled their lips, showing a bit of helplessness, but then their expressions returned to normal.
"How are you, Harry."
Harry, the closest of the two brothers, grinned and held out a large hand. Harry shook it and felt that his fingers were touching many calluses and blisters. It must be Charlie, who is studying dragons in Romania.
Charlie was about the same size as the twins, and was a little fatter, fatter, and more acquainted than the bean sprout-like Percy and Ron. He has a broad, good-natured face, weather-beaten, and his face is covered with dense freckles, making him look almost brown-black. His arms were muscular, and one arm bore a large, shiny scar from a fire.
Bill shook Harry's hand too. Harry was somewhat surprised by Bill's appearance. Harry knew that he worked at Gringotts and was the head boy of the school when he was a student. Harry first thought that Bill was the spitting image of Percy, only a few years older, fussing over breaking school rules and bossing around everyone.
Looking at it today, it's not like that at all. Bill looks...well, cool. He is the tallest among the brothers. His long hair is tied into a ponytail on the back of his head. He also wears an earring on his ear with a small fan-like thing hanging on it. A rock concert wouldn't be out of place either.
Honestly, it's impossible not to be curious.
Harry had never dealt with Charlie or Bill, and his most profound impression of them was undoubtedly the story he heard from Hagrid when Professor Blaine was still an investigator.
He couldn't think of Bill and Charlie as wizards in the same grade as Professor Blaine.
"That's hard to say -" Ron retorted, "Look at Malfoy's dad and Snape, they're getting away with it!"
"Oh, hello, Harry!" Percy was not surprised or happy by Harry's appearance. He was still staring up angrily,
"You've wasted your efforts, Harry -"
"He actually endured it for five years in Slytherin before he showed his true abilities. If today, those pure-blood wizard families who adhere to the old traditions dare to give him trouble, he will definitely burn down their houses, shops, and workshops overnight. "
Sirius couldn't help but laugh as he recalled the conversation in the old Black house on the night he was caught by Amosta.
“We didn’t rumble around!”
Harry desperately wanted to hear from Bill and Charlie what Professor Blaine was like when he was still at Hogwarts, but he was still holding Hedwig's cage in his hand, and his suitcase was still floating, and Adherence After exchanging pleasantries with Bill and Charlie, who had good personalities from the Weasley family, he, Ron and Hermione went to put the box in Ron's room.
Sirius had obviously heard Bill's story. Thinking about Amosta Brain's temper today, he frowned and said,
"I can take some time after dinner to tell you what it would be like for Amosta to go to school."
"Well, if you're really curious, Harry—"
Although Charlie and Bill are Ron's two oldest brothers, and they have both grown up to work, their temperament is still that of a young man that Harry can understand, and Professor Blaine makes him Even in front of Professor Dumbledore, Harry never felt out of place.
"It's really unbelievable--"
Ginny is Ron's little sister and has been obsessed with Harry ever since he first visited the Burrow.
Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, who looked normal, and blinked in confusion. Before he could ask why, a door on the second floor platform above suddenly opened, and a face stuck out from it, with a The eyes beside the horns have an impatient expression.
"Fred and George sleep with us at night because Bill and Charlie have their room," Ron said after he and Harry had worked together to tuck the alley under the bed.
"Percy insists on having a room to himself because he has to work."
Ron said angrily, "We were just walking normally, so sorry if we disturbed the Ministry's top secrets!"
As soon as they turned the first corner of the stairs, there was a sudden bang from a room upstairs, causing Harry to almost fall down the stairs.
"Hello Harry, happy birthday to you--"
Another sudden roar came. Percy left Harry behind and rushed upstairs, hammering the door menacingly. Ron rolled his eyes and took another step, leading Harry upstairs.
Harry told Ron and Hermione what happened when he left the Dursleys. Ron and Hermione had completely different views on his actions in helping the Dursleys get out of trouble.
"That's not necessarily the case -" Remus couldn't help laughing, "If you have enough gold, he is still willing to talk to you."
"Don't forget, Ron, the Ministry of Magic will not let go of any wizard who uses magic to torture Muggles."
Hermione said in a mocking tone,
"If you insist on making Sirius become a wizard like Lucius Malfoy, then I have nothing to say."
Harry was used to Hermione quarreling with Ron, and he was very familiar with how to get them to stop arguing. He was about to tell him about the pain in his scar during the summer vacation, but Ginny suddenly pushed out of the room. Door.
"What's going on with Fred and George?" Harry sat on the edge of the bed and gasped, "Did they make the noise just now?"
So Harry stopped asking questions and greeted the man,
"Hello, Percy--"
Bill knew what Harry was thinking as soon as he looked at Harry's expression. He tilted his head, looking a little distressed.
Although he now has Sirius, Harry still has special feelings for Professor Blaine. This kind of emotion is not easy to describe. It is probably a sympathy for the same disease. Moreover, Professor Blaine is a powerful wizard with a unique personality, just like Dumbledore. Professor Lido also easily gains the admiration of others.
"I don't know who's making all this noise. You know, I'm working here - I have to write a report for the office, but there's something going on up there, and there's people running up and down the stairs. , it’s hard for me to concentrate!”
"Oh, thank you--"
"And then let Sirius go back to Azkaban to spend some time?"
"That's true!"
"It hasn't stopped all summer, and no one knows what they are doing."
Ron took out a packet of shortbread from the bedside table, opened it and divided some between Harry and Hermione. He chewed it and looked at Harry with some dissatisfaction, "You shouldn't stop the little one." Sirius, Harry, you should let those Muggles have a taste of being locked in a cupboard, so that they can really have long memories."
Ron's room was no different from the last time Harry visited. There were still posters of Ron's favorite Quidditch team, the Chudley Cannons, everywhere. There is a fish tank on the windowsill, which originally contained frog eggs, and now there are indeed frogs about the same size as Neville's Leif. Ron's old rat Scabbers disappeared, replaced by the little gray owl that had delivered Harry a letter to Privet Drive. Perhaps he saw Hedwig hovering in the sky outside the window, and the little pig looked very excited. , clanging against the cage.
Harry stood up from the bed and smiled at Ginny.
Seeing his sister's red cheeks, Ron shrugged his shoulders. He balled up the shortbread bag and threw it out of the window. He clapped his hands and said,
"Let's go, maybe we can go down and help them. I just saw Sirius and the others decorating your birthday dinner in the yard!"
