Harry's past few days at the Weasley's were not comfortable.
First of all, because Bill and Charlie returned home, Harry could only sleep in a room with Ron, Fred, and George. Sirius, who wanted to spend more time with Harry and was unwilling to return to the old house, Remus, who had nowhere to go for the time being, set up a tent in the yard.
Mr. Weasley felt so guilty about this that he even offered to give up his and Mrs. Weasley's room, but Sirius flatly refused.
Of course, what really made Harry feel uncomfortable was the incident with Fred and George.
The twin brothers were studying those weird gadgets behind everyone's back. In fact, Harry and the others had always known about this. After all, when they were at Hogwarts, they would often come up with some hilarious gadgets to amuse them. everyone is happy.
But it wasn't until Mrs. Weasley turned the tables on Fred and George on his birthday that they figured out just how far the brothers had come in developing joke products.
Fat tongue toffees, canary biscuits, automatic answering quills, quick-acting truant ponds, nosebleed nougat, fever candy, vomiting candy, and some design drafts that are about to be completed and are in the stage of fantastic ideas. Let everyone Eye-opener!
Mrs. Weasley unearthed more from Fred and George's room than they had at dinner that night.
This incident completely detonated the conflict between Fred, George and Mrs. Weasley.
The fierce quarrel almost lifted the roof of the Burrow. For several days, Fred and George, who had always brought laughter to everyone, had gloomy faces. Even Harry didn't pay much attention to them when they talked, and Weasley The lady's condition became even more serious. She seemed to be suffering from hysteria. She liked to shout and burst into tears when talking to anyone. This situation is like Aunt Petunia trying to convince Dudley to lose weight at the beginning of the summer vacation!
This isn't the end yet!
One afternoon, two owls came to Hogwarts, bringing Fred and George's OWLS exam results.
To be honest, if it weren't for those joke products, Mrs. Weasley might not be so angry about their grades, but the dazzling 'P's', only 'E's' and 'A's on the report card made her Mrs. Weasley once again found reason to be furious.
In front of Fred and George, she burned the joke products that were temporarily confiscated after everyone's efforts to persuade them. Then, the quarrel almost made Harry think that Mrs. Weasley and Fred and George were severing their parent-child relationship. Woolen cloth!
After that, Sirius and Remus were also somewhat unpopular with Mrs. Weasley, because Fred and George also had poor grades in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and who asked him to give both to Fred and George? George was a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?
nine in the morning.
The weather today was quite good. The sunshine shining on the wilderness outside the village of St. Catchpol was just right and not scorching at all.
Not many members of the Weasley family were at home today. Mr. Weasley and Percy went to work, and Mrs. Weasley went to Diagon Alley to purchase some daily necessities. Bill and Charlie, who rarely made a trip back to England, both made appointments. Went to London.
On a green lawn outside the room, Harry and Ron were playing Quidditch. He gave up the Firebolt to Ron, and he rode the old Nimbus that he had never ridden. This broomstick had been purchased last year. The Whomping Willow went through a lot of work and completely fell apart at that time. Fortunately, Professor Blaine's "magic rejuvenation" allowed it to continue to serve Harry.
Although the light wheel is not as good as before, and it cannot make very flexible turns and rapid acceleration, the experience is still much better than those old-fashioned meteors in the Weasley family's broom room with almost all the branches dropped.
Hermione and Ginny sat on the lawn and blew in the wind, watching the two boys flying around in the sky while whispering, and from time to time, a burst of snickering broke out.
boom--
Near noon, Sirius, who had been out yesterday afternoon, apparated first and appeared in the yard.
Harry, who was sharp-eyed, noticed it immediately. He hurriedly flew down and ran towards the yard. Seeing this, Ron, Hermione and Ginny also followed.
"How is it, Sirius, have you met Professor Dumbledore?"
Sirius, who had taken a long walk, had messy hair, but seemed to be in good spirits. When he heard Harry's question, he did not speak immediately, but looked at the people around Harry.
"I seemed to hear my mother's voice." After a short silence, Ginny said, "I'll go help her."
As he spoke, he hurried away with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Harry had already told Hermione and Ron about the scar, so there was no need to keep it a secret from them.
"seen--"
Sirius gasped slightly and said,
"Dumbledore went to find you a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He came back early this morning. I told him about the dream while having breakfast in the auditorium."
"What did Professor Dumbledore say? Did he think that dream was real?"
Harry asked urgently.
"Who is the new professor?" Hermione also asked with great interest.
"I'll answer your question later, Hermione. Let's talk about Harry first -"
After Sirius nodded to Hermione, he looked at Harry seriously,
"Yes, Dumbledore thinks your dreams may be real events."
"But--"
Ron's eyes bulged out in surprise, and he stared at Harry, "Harry, yes, brother, unless you can see what the mysterious man saw!"
Harry instinctively wanted to scold Ron for his statement. For him, any evidence that represented a close relationship between him and Voldemort would not make him happy, but he suddenly remembered something.
At the end of the second year, the day after they came out of the Chamber of Secrets, Professor Dumbledore had a conversation with him alone. At that time, Professor Dumbledore asked him why he and Voldemort were so coincidental. When it was Parselmouth, Professor Dumbledore's answer was that on the night when Voldemort left the scar on him, Voldemort unintentionally transferred some of his magic power to him.
Therefore, Ron's guess is not without basis.
Sirius saw the resistance hidden in Harry's silence. After thinking about it, he comforted,
"This is just a possibility, Harry. In fact, this matter may not be as serious as you think!"
Voldemort suddenly appeared and killed a Muggle, and this terrible scene was actually seen by Harry on Privet Drive. Isn't this serious? !
Facing the puzzled looks from the three little guys, Sirius smiled and said,
"When I told Dumbledore about you, Harry, he looked very calm, just a little surprised, but I couldn't see much worry from his expression. You know, Harry, if Dumbledore Blido is not worried about this matter, so I don’t think you need to worry too much.”
This was indeed a convincing statement, although it could not completely dispel Harry's doubts.
Remus came back at the beginning of lunch. He looked much more tired than Sirius, with a look of disappointment on his face.
They all knew that Remus was applying for a job, and they roughly guessed what the result would be.
Remus is different from Sirius and Harry. His vault is not filled with large sums of gold galleons left by his ancestors. It is even unclear whether Remus has opened a vault in Gringotts. .
Remus had to fend for himself, but except for wizards like Professor Dumbledore, who would take the risk to hire a werewolf?
"Mother--"
Although there was still a group of people gathered in the living room, everyone had their own concerns, and the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed a bit dull. Ginny looked at the empty seat opposite and asked with a flash of eyes,
"Fred and George are still in the room. Can I bring them something to eat, or tell them to come down?"
"do not go!"
Mrs. Weasley rarely gets angry with the youngest daughter of the Weasley family, but this time, she shouted without pretense,
"If they want to starve, let them starve!"
Harry and Ron looked at each other and lowered their heads unconsciously, while Hermione sat upright and ate her food. On the matter of Fred George, her opinion was actually closer to Mrs. Weasley.
"I think you're being a little extreme, Molly—"
The little guys didn't dare to speak. Sirius frowned and said,
"You've seen what Fred and George made. It's really interesting. I taught young wizards at Hogwarts. I know those children will like these things. Since they two are talented in this, Why wouldn’t you let them try it?”
"talent?"
Mrs. Weasley, who was always kind, glared at Sirius fiercely.
"This is not doing their job properly, Sirius. If they are willing to put half of their intelligence into studying, then their OWLS exam results will definitely be much better than they are now!"
