Chapter 107
Chapter 108: You can’t live in a house by licking a dog
“Give me what Kangkang needs this year……”
George couldn’t wait to open the envelope, and the other little wizards put down their knives and forks and read the letters from Hogwarts.
Ives looked at the letter in his hand, which said that they should still take the Hogwarts Express from King’s Cross Station back to school on September 1st. In addition to new textbooks, there is no need to prepare anything else for the next school year. The new books that second-year students need to buy include:
“《Standard Spells, Level 2, by Miranda Gorshak
《Breaking with the Ghost, by Gilderoy Lockhart
《”Walking with Ghouls” by Gilderoy Lockhart
《Holidays with a Dominatrix,” by Gilderoy Lockhart.”
Huh? Ives frowned. He had the impression that there should be more than three Lockhart books to buy for the second grade.
“I remember Lockhart’s books were not cheap,” Hermione said with a pout.
“Yes, he is simply crazy. Even if he is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, it will cost a lot for us to buy three sets of his books at once.”George opened his mouth and said in disbelief.
Mrs. Weasley was also a little worried. She looked at Ginny apologetically,”I’m sorry, I think you need to buy a lot of second-hand things this year.”
Among the young wizards here, only Ginny, who is about to enter school, has a lot of expenses. The others only need to buy a few new textbooks. However, Lockhart asked them to buy three sets of his novels as teaching materials for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. , even if these books are bought second-hand, it is still a huge expense.
Mrs. Weasley had to cut Ginny’s budget and subsidize it to other people.
Ginny did not look depressed at all, she was considerate Blinking her eyes, she said warmly:”It’s okay, Mom.”
“Oh, Ginny.”Mrs. Weasley stood up and hugged Ginny into her arms with a look of emotion on her face.
It wasn’t until she turned red from holding it in and almost couldn’t breathe that Mrs. Weasley let go of her hands.
“Arthur, are you free today?”She asked again.
Mr. Weasley shook his head and said helplessly:”You know, Molly. Because of the”cracking down on illegal and punishing violations”, the department is very busy during this period.”
“But the children have to go shopping in Diagon Alley, and I can’t take care of them by myself.” As she said that, Mrs. Weasley gave George and Fred a fierce look, which made them shrink into a ball in fear.
“What’s more, you didn’t take the holidays last month.”
“That’s because of the revision of the new Muggle Protection Act,” Mr. Weasley said with a wry smile.”As the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items, and the main drafter of the revision of the bill, it was impossible to take a break at that time.. He thought for a while and then said:”I can take a day off tomorrow, and then I can take the children to Diagon Alley.””
Mrs. Weasley’s expression improved.
After breakfast, Mr. Weasley rushed to the Ministry of Magic to go to work, while Mrs. Weasley stayed in the kitchen to clean up. Percy returned to his room and didn’t know what he was busy with. , leaving only a few little wizards with nothing to do
“Speaking of which, Percy became really weird this summer. He was always alone in the house and wrote a lot of letters.”As soon as Percy walked away, Ron started to speak ill of him.
George conjured a pipe from nowhere and held it in his mouth,”There is only one truth.”
Fred immediately reco
gnized that he was imitating Sherlock Holmes. Last semester they borrowed many Muggle novels and comics from Lee Jordan, and George would imitate the characters from time to time.
“Percy is in love!” George whispered
“What? Ron showed an incredulous look,”Oh, Merlin’s beach shorts!””
In Ron’s mind, Percy, who has always been a good student, is undoubtedly not destined to fall in love. His first reaction is to not believe it. Of course, if someone tells him that Percy wants to be the Minister of Magic, Then he would never be so surprised.
George motioned for everyone to gather around. He carefully looked around and made sure that neither Mrs. Weasley nor Percy was nearby. Then he explained:”Fred and I took advantage of Percy’s absence. Secretly read his letter spread out on the table”
“The things written in the letter are very disgusting. Do you want to listen?”
Everyone nodded expectantly, looking like they were gossiping, including Ives. It can only be said that eating melon is the source of happiness.
Fred and George looked at each other, and then said”affectionately”:”Your eyes are as enchanting as salamanders, like fire burning in dark water”
“You are as broad-minded and open-minded as the middle head of a three-headed snake.”
“Your hair is as smooth as oiled silk”
……
The two of them talked to each other and stared at each other”affectionately”.
Avis and the others finally couldn’t help laughing.
Hermione raised an eyebrow,”Which book did Percy copy these words from?”
“You are so smart,” George praised.”There is a book on his desk called”The Encyclopedia of Love Words, Hundreds of Golden Quotes Summarized by Emotional Masters”. Obviously, Percy copied it directly from it.”
“By the way,” Ginny said, her face flushed, and Harry stood beside her, very close to her. However, the thought of girly gossip temporarily suppressed her shyness, and she asked curiously,”Did you see who he was going to write to?”
“Penelope of Ravenclaw.”George said the names they saw
“What? Hermione said in disbelief,”Penello is actually in a relationship with Percy?””
“It’s a pity,” Fred waved his hand,”It’s just that Percy is pursuing her unilaterally. George confirmed this statement,”I found a dozen letters on the desktop that he wrote to Penello but were returned intact.”
Elvis and Hermione looked at each other, and they both saw a sentence in each other’s eyes:
You can’t be a licker!
After eating the melon, everyone dispersed. Hermione was pulled back to the bedroom by Ginny to whisper, and the remaining boys were in George’s room. At the suggestion, we decided to play a simple Quidditch game.
It was said to be a Quidditch game, but it was actually just four boys riding broomsticks throwing quaffles to each other in the sky. The
Burrow was located on a lush plain, not far from the The wizarding village of Ottery-St. Catchpole is still a short distance away, and there is a large open space here for them to have fun.
Ivis rides a broomstick and observes the Burrow from the air.
The house where the Weasley family lives It is crooked and has four or five chimneys on the roof painted with red paint. A sign is inserted diagonally in front of the house that reads: The Burrow. The
Burrow is crooked and does not conform to normal aesthetics at all.
But the fact is that it is In this way, when building the Burrow, the Weasley family did not consider the appearance, but only cared about whether the internal space was enough to accommodate nine people.
