Chapter 431
Chapter 455 Percy’s Transformation
It seems that everyone has forgotten about the five families.
Lockhart appears at Silverhand Press on Christmas Eve.
This move made the young women who had already heard about it scream.
Wearing a gorgeous brown outfit that showed off his maturity, Lockhart also held a pipe in his hand.
"Don't be afraid, because I'm coming."
He walked up to many book fans and said the classic line from the book, the great wizard Lockhart.
This time, the crowd's screams increased by an unknown number of decibels.
Even the snow on the eaves was shaken off.
Mrs. Weasley was among them.
Seeing their mother screaming, Ron and Harry both looked at Lockhart with disgust.
They really don't understand what's so good about Lockhart.
Originally Mrs. Weasley didn't want to come over to them, but Ron made an excuse to help the twins.
The twins' shop is so profitable that they even plan to buy the shop in Hogsmeade and open a branch.
You should know that it has only been less than a year since they started working.
The huge profits made even poor boy Ron envious.
Harry didn't feel much about it. He didn't know much about money.
"Where is Ginny?" Harry paid more attention to Ginny and asked Ron.
Ron looked around and didn't see Ginny, so he said casually: "Let's go to George and Fred's shop?"
He didn't think his sister would disappear or disappear.
After all, Ginny is a lioness that no one can afford to offend.
Harry had been feeling a strange feeling since he last held hands with Ginny.
But he had to restrain himself, because Ginny was Dean's girlfriend, and he was not a shameless person like Blaise.
He deceived himself into blaming that feeling on his care for his siblings.
Maybe that would make Harry feel better.
Mr. Weasley was so busy that he had to go to the Ministry of Magic on Christmas Eve.
Regarding the disappearance of five families, this incident made everyone in the Order of the Phoenix uneasy.
Barty Sr. announced that Voldemort had done it in order to get revenge on the Death Eater family for not being there when needed.
But everyone with a discerning eye knows that Voldemort may be cruel, but he will not wipe out five families at once.
The subsequent profit distribution allowed them to vaguely guess who did it.
But they weren't sure.
A man who was the same size as his own son actually wiped out five families in one night with the force of thunder.
Not to mention the people they know the identity of, even the people who don't know the identity don't believe it.
Kingsley was inquiring about information in the Auror's office, and others were not idle either.
Old Jack returns to the werewolf community and they all know what happened.
There was a greater reliance on Johnny Silverhand.
Headed to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes and sure enough found Ginny there.
Ginny was talking to a Hufflepuff girl about the effects of the Daydream Charm.
After hearing this, the girl blushed and walked away. After a while, she bought one and paid for it.
George said, "Ginny, you should do business with us."
"Yes, we can give you shares." Fred came over and put his arm around his sister's shoulders with a bewildered look on his face.
Ron came over and threatened with a stern face: "Mom will kill you if she knows."
"Mom won't kill us." George made a face.
"Mom will just kill you, little Ronnie."
Fred handed over Ron's nickname, making him want to seal his mouth with a spell.
Ron asked: "Harry, how did you recite that curse?"
"Block?" Harry replied.
"What is that? It doesn't sound like good magic." George asked.
Ginny snorted and said, "Harry, are you still learning the spells in that book?"
Even Fred was surprised. He said, "What book? Harry, you won't come across any magic props, right?"
"Nothing." Harry said vaguely.
Fred didn't give up, "Harry, the spell of unknown origin may be black magic."
"Come on," Ron said disapprovingly, "Just say some scary things."
Seeing his brother's attitude, Fred was not angry either.
In fact, Harry thought the same thing. Hermione said that these handwritten spells may be dark magic that is not allowed by the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't think there was anything good or bad about it.
He also taught Crabbe a lesson with a spell that made his toes grow crazily.
They are here to help, so naturally they won’t make small talk.
Ron had some objections and wanted to come out to play, but he actually came to work.
"Stop complaining," said George, "and give Fatty over there a bag of dragon-roasted chestnuts."
Ron had no choice but to go over and take out the chestnuts roasted by the fire dragon model.
Because it was too hot, a piece of his skin was burned off.
Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes has a lot of customers, especially after the Quidditch match. Many people come here after seeing the various props from the Wizarding Wheezes.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Harry and the others had time to rest.
The twins once again thought they could send recruitment brochures to Hogwarts and get a few low-paid graduates.
"Okay, I need to go to Knockturn Alley." George winked at Ginny, "I'll leave this to you."
"Knockturn Alley?" Ron became interested and immediately came over and said, "Please, don't let me continue to be the damn Fire Dragon Roast Chestnut Officer."
"Well, maybe you could consider becoming a Daydream Spell salesman?" George sneered.
Ron immediately blushed, and Harry wanted to go to Knockturn Alley.
He had not officially entered Knockturn Alley, a place that Mrs. Weasley had expressly forbidden to approach.
Ginny also came on stage, and the three of them worked hard to get George to let go.
It was unkind to leave all the work to Fred.
Fred protested loudly from behind.
Knockturn Alley is not what Harry and the others thought.
Especially Harry, who once strayed into Knockturn Alley and was brought out by John.
Knockturn Alley was not such a wide road at that time.
Harry and Ron's eyes widened as they looked at the greatly changed Knockturn Alley.
"Is this all done by John?" Harry murmured.
George walked through the Knockturn Garden between Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley with ease.
They came all the way to a house with a tin box written on it. George came here to get the goods.
A big bald man came out and said with a smile: "George, are you the same as before?"
"Twenty more Diagon Alley uniforms."
The bald man nodded and agreed. From the conversation between the two, it could be seen that they had a good relationship.
Harry and Ron also wanted to take a walk in Knockturn Alley.
Ginny was attracted by the silver eggshell brought by the witch nearby.
The two people walked out of the tin box, and Harry said, "I remember that place used to be the Borgin Bock store."
He pointed in a direction and happened to see a man walking in.
"Percy?" Harry was stunned and hurriedly pulled Ron.
Ron also saw Percy walking into the most luxurious store.
They discussed quietly how Percy could be here.
Just as they were about to go over, they were slapped on the head from behind by George.
"What, you guys want to go shopping at Johnny Silverhand's store?"
George got a licorice stick from Baldy and gave it to Ginny.
"That's Johnny Silverhand over there?"
This was the first time Harry saw him, and he immediately thought of John.
Maybe Percy went to find John.
After finishing his work, George was about to leave. Before leaving, he saw Percy walking out of Johnny Silverhand's store.
Percy saw them and turned towards them.
"Ginny, George." Percy walked up to them and said hello.
Ron was upset because his name wasn't there.
George exaggerated: "Oh my God, it's Director Percy."
Percy had already gotten used to his funny looks.
When he saw Ginny, his stern face softened.
"I came here to choose gifts for my family." He took out two gift boxes from the blue-spotted paper bag.
Ginny was pleasantly surprised.
Percy looked at his sister and suddenly turned his attention to Ron.
"I heard Draco say that you bullied Ginny?"
Percy's eyes were very unkind, which made Ron stunned.
It had been a while, and he had somewhat forgotten about it.
But Percy hadn't forgotten.
Malfoy described everything Ron said to him in detail, and he did not rule out the possibility of adding insult to injury, but Ron did scold Ginny.
"Don't blame others for what you can't do," Percy preached with a straight face, "improve yourself."
Ron became angry as soon as he heard the anger. What qualifications do you, a member of the Star Club, have to say something about yourself?
But soon, Ron knew that besides being his brother, Percy was also an excellent wizard.
Ron's eyebrows turned white and he felt his height shrink.
If it weren't for the fact that Ron was also Percy's brother, he would have walked sideways out of Knockturn Alley today.
"You're not allowed to bully Ginny in school, you understand?"
Percy left a word, turned around and left here.
George patted Ron on the head and said with a smile: "Look at the best, at least he didn't make you a dwarf forever."
Ron was furious.
