Chapter 42 Arrival at the Burrow

Wes's face showed a hint of surprise, and his brows slightly frowned. He didn't expect that he would be invited to the Weasleys for Christmas.

"Invite me to your house for Christmas?" He repeated with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

The twin brothers, Fred and George, immediately smiled brightly when they heard Wes's question.

"Mom heard about our performance in school this year," Fred said excitedly.

"No mischief in school," George added with a proud tone.

"She knows that we are learning alchemy from you," Fred continued.

"I want to thank you," George concluded.

After the twin brothers finished speaking, they looked at Wes together, waiting for his answer with expectation in their eyes.

After a period of getting along, Wes has adapted to this kind of communication like a string of bullets.

"Christmas?" Wes whispered to himself.

Wes has always lived a lonely life, devoting himself to the study of magic, and has never had in-depth exchanges with anyone.

This is the first time in his life that he has received an invitation from someone else. For him, this is undoubtedly a novel and unique experience.

Besides, Wes had always been curious about Mr. Weasley's creative car transformation.

"Well, why not."

Wes finally agreed. He looked at the twin brothers who jumped up excitedly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Then he asked, "Do I need to prepare anything?"

"Nothing," the twins answered in unison, with a brighter smile on their faces.

"Mom will be very happy."

As they talked, they jumped away, and their cheerful figures were like two energetic birds.

They couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Weasley the good news.

Wes didn't plan to go empty-handed, and he spent a lot of time carefully selecting gifts.

Every gift was carefully considered by him, striving to meet the preferences of the Weasley family and express his own feelings.

Finally, the Christmas holiday came.

Wes sat in the same carriage with the Weasley children and Hermione.

The carriage was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Wes bought a bunch of candies for the children. The colorful candy wrappers sparkled in the sun.

Ginny was a little shy. She sat quietly in the corner, secretly looking at Wes, a stranger, from time to time.

Percy was very enthusiastic. He took the initiative to talk to Wes, but his words and deeds made Wes feel that he was a little "pretentious".

Percy tried hard to pretend to be an adult, and every move seemed mature and steady, but the deliberate performance made Wes see his inner immaturity.

Hermione was like a talking encyclopedia, constantly asking Wes a lot of questions.

Ron couldn't help but complain about her: "Even candy can't stop your mouth?"

After being glared at by Hermione, Ron was so scared that he quickly stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth. His panic made everyone laugh.

Soon, the train arrived at Platform 9 and 3/4.

As soon as he got off the train, Wes saw Mrs. Weasley waving to them enthusiastically.

Her face was filled with a warm smile.

Ginny jumped off the train happily, and jumped into Mrs. Weasley's arms like a returning bird.

It was the first time she had been away from home for so long, and Ginny's longing for her mother was like a surging tide.

Mrs. Weasley gently stroked Ginny's little head, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"We meet again, Wes."

Arthur strode over and gave Wes a warm hug, which was very strong and full of sincerity: "Fred and George must have caused you a lot of trouble."

"Hello, Mr. Weasley." Wes responded politely.

"Call me Arthur..." Arthur said with a smile.

"Arthur." After Wes changed his words, the smile on Arthur's face became even brighter.

"Fred and George are very smart children. They have extraordinary talents in alchemy."

Hearing Wes's praise, the twins raised their heads proudly and deliberately acted arrogantly.

The exaggerated expression made everyone laugh.

Hermione also reunited with her parents, and they parted ways after exchanging blessings.

Originally, Wes wanted to try the flying car, but unfortunately the car had been confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, which made him a little regretful.

When they arrived at the Weasley family's home, "The Burrow", a four-story, crooked house came into view.

The house looked like it could collapse at any time, giving people a shaky feeling.

There was a large garden outside, and Wes also saw a few goblins inside, they were busy shuttling through the flower garden, adding vitality to the garden.

There was also a shed with various tools and sundries.

As soon as they entered the house, everyone couldn't wait to take off their coats. The warmth in the house formed a sharp contrast with the cold outside.

However, there were too many people in the Weasley family, so the house was a little noisy.

Ron was eager to go upstairs first, but was stopped by the twins.

They pushed each other with mischievous smiles on their faces.

Ginny relied on her small stature to nimbly squeeze through the three brothers, and her agile figure made people laugh.

After a while of chaos, everyone finally packed their luggage.

Mrs. Weasley began to prepare dinner, and several children came to help.

However, they were clumsy and either knocked over the plates or spilled the seasoning, which increased Mrs. Weasley's workload.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Arthur stood aside, somewhat helpless, and shrugged helplessly.

He was not good at cooking, so he could only worry on the side.

The same was true for Wes. Facing the busyness of the kitchen, he seemed a little overwhelmed.

But he had an all-powerful butler who could always solve various problems for him whenever he needed it.

Wes opened the suitcase, and Jandy came out of it.

Everyone was not curious about Jandy, and house elves were not rare creatures in the magical world.

The Weasley family was full of interest in Wes's magical suitcase, especially Arthur and the twin brothers.

They surrounded the suitcase and carefully observed this unusual magical item.

As a person who has a deep interest in magic items, Arthur's eyes are full of admiration for this high-level magic prop.

The curiosity of the twin brothers, Fred and George, was completely ignited. They took turns to touch the suitcase, trying to find more secrets from it.

Weiss saw their interest and generously handed the suitcase to them so that they could observe it more closely.

"Oh, Merlin's beard! This is the skin of a fire dragon!"

Fred's exclamation instantly attracted everyone's attention. His fingers gently stroked the surface of the suitcase, and the texture and temperature made him sure of his judgment.

"Fire dragon skin??"

George, who was closest, grabbed the box and looked at it carefully with wide eyes.

Others also came over, and everyone was attracted by this magical suitcase.

Arthur seemed more professional. He took out a pair of glasses and carefully checked every corner of the suitcase. He knew that the skin of a fire dragon was a very precious material, and it was an extraordinary skill to be able to use it to make a magic suitcase.

"This is indeed dragon skin." Arthur concluded after observing for a while.

"How many gold galleons is this worth!" Ron's eyes sparkled and his saliva almost flowed out.

Countless gold galleons appeared in his mind, imagining that he had so much wealth.

"We can't afford it even if we sell our house." Percy exclaimed, "Is the professor's salary so high?"

"How can the professor have so much money." Wes shrugged: "My funds are all obtained by selling the treasures obtained from adventures."

"It took me a lot of effort to make this suitcase."

Wes felt a little painful when he thought about the money spent on the materials for making the suitcase.

"Professor, what's in the suitcase?"

Everyone was very curious about what was in Wes's expensive box.

"Secret." Seeing that Wes was unwilling to say it, the Weasley family did not force it.

They knew that everyone had their own secrets, and respecting the privacy of others was a virtue.

"Dinner is ready." Mrs. Weasley's voice came from the kitchen.

The small dining table was full of people, everyone was laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Mrs. Weasley was very happy to have guests at home this year, but she was a little disappointed that her eldest son Bill and second son Charlie did not come back due to work.

The dinner was very rich, full of various delicious foods, presumably to entertain the guest Wes. However, no matter how much food there was, it was quickly swept away in front of the four adolescent boys.

They seemed like little wolves who had been hungry for a long time.

Mrs. Weasley was very happy: "It seems that I have to prepare more things for tomorrow's Christmas dinner."
