#247 - The Weasleys (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

"Anduin, big brother, you've finally come to see us!" This was perfectly normal Charlie.

"Anduin, big brother, doesn't Charlie look hilarious in his Hogwarts robes?" These were the twins, who always loved to tease their brothers.

"Anduin, big brother, I heard Bill say you're going to be Head Boy next year, that's amazing! How did you become Head Boy?" This was the earnest Percy.

Even four- and five-year-old Ginny and Ron were yelling and screaming as they rushed up with their older brothers, circling around Anduin.

And when they noticed the large husky beside Anduin, their reaction was even more intense, instantly swarming around Hogg in a chaotic pile.

Hogg had never seen anything like this before. Seven wizards, big and small, surrounded him, instantly turning his little face pale white—though his face was already very white.

In response, Hogg even put on a fierce, ferocious expression, preparing to scare away these little brats.

But little did he know how brave the Weasley children were. They grabbed Hogg and started petting him like crazy, some patting his head, some rubbing his belly, and the youngest, Ginny, even grabbed Hogg's tail and wouldn't let go.

"Woof." Hogg looked at Anduin with a terrified expression, sending a small, pleading look for help. He was clearly unable to withstand the torment from so many mischievous children.

Stop pulling! Why is this little girl so strong? She's grabbing my tail and pulling, and if she keeps pulling, I'll lose all my fur! Hogg thought, his gaze towards Anduin becoming even more helpless and pitiful.

"Alright, Hogg isn't used to so much attention. Come over here, I brought you all gifts." Anduin smiled and began taking things out of his space ring.

Hearing the word 'gifts,' the group of mischievous children who were excitedly petting the dog immediately shifted their attention, rushing to Anduin with expectant faces.

Only Ginny, perhaps because she was too young, didn't even understand the meaning of 'gifts,' and remained in a very formidable pose, stubbornly grabbing Hogg's tail, trying to drag him away alive.

This time, Anduin bought each of the Weasleys a set of Quidditch protective gear, as well as a complete set of Quidditch equipment. Of course, there were no flying broomsticks, as those things were a bit too expensive.

Having not seen these little brats for so long, Anduin had to admit that he missed them quite a bit, so this time he really splurged, spending over two hundred Galleons on this pile of good stuff. Of course, the most valuable item was the set of Quidditch equipment, with a single Golden Snitch being worth over a hundred Galleons.

Seeing the brand-new equipment Anduin took out, the group of young Weasleys instantly rushed forward with shining eyes, scrambling to put it on. Charlie was the most excited, still wearing his Hogwarts robes, yet he couldn't wait to try it on.

After trying on the equipment, the children saw the brand-new Quidditch set and immediately became eager, itching to start a Quidditch match right then and there.

Arthur, who had been busy inside the Burrow, heard the commotion outside and, curious, came out to take a look.

Then he saw his children making a mess outside.

Little Ron was riding a toy broomstick, gliding back and forth half a meter off the ground, having a great time, and when he saw Arthur, he grinned, revealing his gap-toothed smile.

Ron's older brothers were all gathered around Anduin, wearing matching leather Quidditch protective gear, and were excitedly pointing and gesturing around a large box, looking eager to try it out.

And Arthur's beloved daughter Ginny was currently dragging a fluffy dog, still struggling with the silly-looking dog, pulling on the dog's tail with all her might.

But the dog was clearly stronger than Ginny. It was struggling to slowly move forward, trying to shake Ginny off, but Ginny was standing straight, like a human brake, unyielding, leaving two small grooves plowed out by Ginny's feet on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Arthur was about to say something when his older children seemed to have opened some kind of switch on the box in front of them, and then they heard a 'bang' and a dark shadow instantly shot into the sky.

"Look, it's a Quaffle! George, aim at it quickly, I'll go get the broom!" Fred, one of the twins, said to his brother with an excited expression, watching the Quaffle fly into the sky.

"Merlin's beard, stop it immediately! Be careful the Quaffle flies around and injures your younger brothers and sisters!" Arthur hurriedly shouted anxiously upon seeing this.

George, who was below, was gripping a bat in his hand, staring intently at the quickly descending Quaffle, seemingly preparing to swing with all his might and show off his skills.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. When the Quaffle fell above the crowd, it was instantly frozen in place, as if grabbed by an invisible hand. The ball struggled desperately in mid-air, but remained motionless.

"Alright, don't make your father angry. Now is not the time to play Quidditch. Take off the equipment first." Anduin smiled lightly, controlling the Quaffle in the air to return to the box.

"Mr. Weasley, long time no see." Anduin turned his head and greeted him with a smile.

"It's been another year, Anduin. You seem to have grown taller again. Are you over 1.8 meters now?" Arthur now had to look up slightly to see the robust young man in front of him.

"You flatter me." Anduin nodded modestly, then turned to glare at the twins who were pawing at the Quaffle, causing them to sheepishly close the box.

"Come on, quickly come inside. Molly knew you were coming yesterday and specially prepared delicious vanilla tea for you." Arthur looked at Anduin with a cheerful smile, patting his belly.

But after turning his head, Arthur immediately put on a stern expression, "Bill, Charlie, quickly tell your younger brothers to put away their things and prepare for dinner. Don't play with these dangerous Quidditch sets, and quickly bring your sister back. Don't you see that big dog is dragging Ginny and almost running away?"

After Arthur's reminder, everyone came back to their senses and looked in Hogg's direction. At this time, Hogg and Ginny's struggle hadn't stopped. Hogg had dragged Ginny dozens of meters away, leaving two long, crooked lines on the ground. Ginny's temper was also quite stubborn, and she just wouldn't let go after so long.

Bill, being the eldest brother, quickly ran over to take care of his sister, and he was also more familiar with Hogg. Seeing Hogg's dejected look, Bill also comforted him.

Anduin knew that Hogg had a sense of proportion, so he didn't bother with them. Instead, he took out a bottle of Firewhisky and secretly stuffed it into Arthur's arms, then playfully raised an eyebrow.

Arthur looked left and right upon seeing this, then happily received it and hid it away.
