#767 - Sirius (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

“Alright, what's the plan now?”

Anduin coldly swept his gaze over the group. The Weasley brothers had caused such a big mess this time, simply letting it slide was out of the question.

“I… ouch… we know we were wrong!” George pleaded, enduring the pain in his face and putting on a pitiful expression.

“Sorry! Uncle Wilson, we just weren't thinking straight, that's why we were so reckless,” Ron similarly whined, his face a mask of misery.

“Hmph! Should have thought of that earlier!” Anduin snorted. “Do you know how dangerous your actions were? You almost got yourselves killed! This isn't something that can be explained away with a simple 'reckless'.”

“Since you dared to steal a car, you have to bear the consequences. I'll send you back to the Burrow in a bit, so Molly and Arthur can hear about your good deeds!”

George, Fred, and Ron looked as if they'd been struck by lightning, their faces growing even paler.

Fred hurriedly shouted, “No, please don't tell Mum and Dad, or we'll be beaten to death this time! Please, big brother Anduin!”

“Yeah, please let us off the hook! We just wanted to go to France for a vacation, we never thought we'd cause such a big problem!” Ron was equally anxious, sweating profusely, and he looked at Harry and Neville for help.

But Anduin showed no mercy to their pleas, his face remaining cold and stern. He was truly angered by these three.

The stolen magical car had sustained damage to 70% of its structure. The fact that the three of them were here unharmed could only be attributed to luck.

Besides, if he hadn't been there, these three brothers would have been in serious trouble. So Anduin planned to teach them a good lesson to prevent them from causing any more trouble in the future. He wouldn't be able to explain himself to Molly.

“Uncle Wilson, why don't you let them off the hook this time? I think they definitely know they were wrong,” Harry said from the side, unable to bear Ron's pitiful appearance.

“No! This matter must be dealt with seriously, otherwise, if they continue with their antics, they'll definitely get worse!” Anduin knew exactly how to deal with naughty kids; he had to suppress them once and for all, otherwise, there would definitely be more trouble.

Seeing that even Harry's pleading had no effect, Ron and the others became as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They knew all too well what their mother's personality was like. Not only would they be scolded when they got back, but they might also be grounded until the start of school.

Thinking of this, Ron, in desperation, could only look at his sister Ginny and frantically wink at her. He knew that in this house, if anyone could make Anduin change his mind, it would be Ginny.

And Ginny, seeing Ron's pitiful appearance, also felt a little sorry for him, so she stepped forward and tugged on Anduin's clothes, “Godfather, there are many ways you can punish them, aren't there? You don't have to send them back to the Burrow.”

Saying this, Ginny said娇声娇气道, “If you really send them back to the Burrow, Mum will at most ground them, which would be letting those guys off easy. It's better if you punish them yourself.”

Anduin could easily tell that Ginny was trying to indirectly exonerate the three brothers, but he seriously considered Ginny's suggestion, “Punish them myself?”

“Mmm-hmm!” Ginny nodded vigorously. “And if Mum knew they had caused such a big mess, she would be scared to death, and I'm afraid she'd make herself sick.”

“Do you accept Ginny's suggestion?” Anduin didn't respond immediately, but instead looked back at the three brothers.

“We accept!”

Ron and his brothers blurted out. To them, Molly was the most terrifying being. As long as they weren't sent back, they would do anything!

“Alright then!” Anduin nodded, then looked at the three of them. “The few of you will follow me from now on. I'll explain things to Molly.”

The three brothers' faces lit up with joy, but after hearing Anduin's next words, they immediately became bitter.

“But letting you follow me isn't for enjoying a vacation. Since you made such a mess on the ship, you have to pay the price for it.”

“For the rest of the trip, you'll be sailors on the Leona. You can't disembark at will and are under Leona's direct jurisdiction. You have to do whatever she tells you to do, understand?”

“Hehe, I like this idea!” Leona grinned, then looked at them with an unkind expression. “Now, get your butts up on deck and clean up all the mess you made, and every inch has to be scrubbed by hand, no using magic. You're not allowed to sleep until you meet my standards!”

Immediately afterward, everyone saw Leona pull out a long whip from who knows where, and she escorted the three out of the room while threatening and scolding them.

The next morning, when Harry and the others got up, had breakfast, and came to the deck, they found Ron and the others alone on the deck, still working hard.

At this time, George, Fred, and Ron looked extremely miserable. They had dark circles under their eyes and were趴on the deck like black slaves, scrubbing the ground bit by bit with the brushes in their hands.

“Ron, didn't you guys sleep all night?” Neville asked in surprise, hastily observing this scene.

“Ah… don't even mention it,” Ron complained with a bitter face. “Leona is deliberately trying to mess with us. No matter how clean we scrub the floor, she can always find fault with it.”

“And after we cleaned up the vomit, that ghost woman intensified things by making us clean other areas, scrubbing each place dozens or hundreds of times!” George also complained bitterly.

Fred chimed in, “I'm telling you, that woman isn't a ghost at all, she's a demon! She doesn't care about other people's feelings, she just wants to torture us!”

Neville and the others couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that they had to be careful on the ship in the future and not provoke this captain.

“What are you dawdling about again?”

Just as Ron and the others were complaining, Leona's cold voice suddenly came from their ears.

“I seem to have heard someone talking badly about me? It seems that some people don't want to rest. After waxing the deck, go wash the mast for me, then the lookout, the ropes! Until this ship is so bright from the inside out that it can be used as a mirror!”

Leona's figure slowly渗出from under the deck, waving the soft whip in her hand like a queen treating slaves, shouting loudly at Ron and the others.

“Ah???”

The already miserable Weasley brothers collapsed when they heard this, but Leona didn't give them a chance to argue. The whip in her hand cracked loudly, and even Ginny and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to interrupt.

Afterward, several passengers witnessed what true exploitation was. Under Leona's鞭策, the three brothers worked continuously until noon, actually wiping every corner of the spaceship deck until it shone.

During this time, Leona only provided the three with a bucket of bread and a few bowls of clear water as food, and their miserable condition made Ginny couldn't help but feel憐憫 for her brothers.

The reason they were able to be freed at noon was not because Leona had a burst of compassion, but because the destination of this trip had arrived.

At this time, everyone came to the deck, and Leona pulled out her saber and shouted loudly. The spaceship under her feet seemed to have a consciousness and slowly landed under her command.

Soon, the ship emerged from the thick clouds, and then everyone saw the ground getting closer and closer.

As for the location where they landed, it was a classical manor located in a valley. The surrounding trees were lush and green, and in the distance was a row of towering mountains. Although it was summer, the upper half of the peaks was still covered with a layer of snow.

From the high altitude, one could even see a clear stream flowing beside the manor. From a distance, one could see through the water surface the fat fish swimming in the current.

On the ground, Aselia held two red light sticks in her hands to direct the landing of the spaceship. Beside her stood a younger girl and a 胡子拉碴 uncle.

“Wow! This place is so beautiful…” A group of little devils couldn't help but stick their heads out from the deck, breathing fresh air and admiring the surrounding scenery.

“Heh, this is the adult's specially built French base for the Silver Flash Trading Company, and it's also our summer resort. This entire valley around us belongs to us,” Hogg said proudly, raising his head. “When we get there, I'll take you into the jungle to hunt. There are many delicious things in there.”

Xia Tiya also smiled, “If you don't like hunting, picnicking in the forest or boating and swimming on the river is also a good experience. But don't go to the distant mountains, there is a group of Hungarian horntail dragons migrating here.”

The six young wizards on the scene couldn't help but have many associations after hearing the two people's introductions. They didn't expect that Anduin actually had such a huge industry in France.

However, at this time, Anduin glanced at Ron and the other three and then spoke, “But that doesn't include you few. During this time in France, you can't think about getting off the ship except for eating. Stay here obediently.”

“Ah??” Ron, George, and Fred瘪起嘴 again, and then the three couldn't help but look at each other, seeming to be planning something bad again.

“Don't even think about causing trouble under my nose.” Anduin saw through their thoughts at a glance. “As long as I find out that you dare to sneak off the ship, I'll immediately throw you back to the Burrow and let Molly know about your good deeds!”

The three immediately dismissed the idea when they heard Anduin say this, and Harry and the others couldn't help but mourn for them for a few seconds.

At this time, under Aselia's command on the ground, the spaceship landed steadily in the river next to the manor, and several young wizards also saw clearly the people waiting under the ship.

They were all amazed by the beauty of Aselia and Anaïs, and Sirius Black next to the two beauties seemed much more ordinary.

At this time, Sirius Black looked like a slovenly uncle, with messy hair and beard. Although the clothes on his body were gorgeous, he also wore a kind of rustic style.

Anduin couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Sirius Black's current appearance. Although Sirius Black was originally in this slovenly style, he now showed too much颓丧, perhaps he still hadn't let go of what happened before.

“Sir, was this trip smooth?” Aselia shouted loudly after the ship landed.

“It was smooth.” Anduin responded casually, then couldn't help but glanced at the Weasley brothers. His trip was too smooth.

Then Anduin led everyone ashore and started to客套 with Aselia and Anaïs. Since solving the Silver Spear, the Aselia sisters had completely依附与 Anduin.

At the same time, because Aselia had many years of life experience in France before, Anduin handed over the French branch of the Silver Flash Trading Company to her to manage. In the past few years, the other party's work has indeed been effective, and the branch company has been handled in an orderly manner.

France is also Anduin's largest low-area except for the United Kingdom and Germany. After all, this is one of the three major powers in Europe. Not only is it large, but the wizarding population is also very large.

At the same time, the French Beauxbatons Academy of Magic is also the most open wizarding school in Europe. Hogwarts only accepts native British wizards, while Durmstrang only accepts pure-blood wizards and is located in remote areas, and its style of doing things is also more extreme.

Therefore, France has become the country with the most dense flow of wizards in Europe. Every year, a large number of wizards enter and leave France for studies or travel. It has almost become the cultural center of wizards.

In addition, people here have a very developed concept of consumption, resulting in the profits generated by the French Silver Flash Trading Company being second only to the British local branch, and the income is quite considerable.

It is also because of this that Anduin sent his confidant Aselia to guard here, and also built such a large base.

After a brief exchange and roughly understanding the recent situation here, Anduin exchanged glances with Sirius Black, “What's wrong with you now? Don't you know how to say hello when you see people?”

“It's not like we just met, it's been so many years, what's the point of talking nonsense with you, besides, didn't you come here once a few months ago?”

Sirius Black shook his head indifferently, then fixed his eyes on Anduin again, “How's that matter going? Are there any clues?”

Anduin knew that he was asking about Peter Pettigrew, and could only shake his head helplessly, “There is no harvest yet, but this time I brought you two surprises, I think you will like it.”

“Except for him, I can't be interested in anything else.” Sirius Black sighed a little沮丧.

“Don't be so sure, Black, look who this is?” After saying that, Anduin stepped aside, revealing Harry behind him.

Sirius Black noticed Harry among the pile of young wizards next to Anduin at this time.

After seeing the other party's face clearly, especially those eyes, Black widened his eyes in surprise, “You… you are Harry? That's right! You and James are like carved out of the same mold, and your eyes are exactly the same as Lily's!”
