The first ray of dawn lit up on the horizon, and the thin mist gradually dissipated in the morning light.
To the south of the village, hidden among the hills and trees, is a rather large, crumbling house.
This is the residence of Arthur Weasley's family. Apart from the garden with a small lake and the yard surrounded by hedges, the only difference compared to the residences of other wizarding families is that the crooked building
There is also a newly repaired garage outside the four-story cabin.
According to information registered with the British Ministry of Magic, the official name here should be "Weasley House".
However, the Weasleys never pronounce it that way.
They prefer to call it "The Burrow."
As usual, Arthur Weasley was woken up on time by the sound of pipes banging in the attic.
Since the youngest daughter also went to Hogwarts to study, the Burrow suddenly became deserted. Perhaps because of this, the ghoul living in the attic also became a lot more irritable, and would make some noise on his own initiative from time to time.
, for example, 7:30 every morning is one of its new performance times.
Mr. Weasley lay quietly on the bed, recalling the fading dream. He seemed to dream that he had moved to a brand new office.
Slowly, the aroma of fried eggs wafted up from downstairs, and hunger soon filled every cell in his brain.
Without waiting for his wife's voice to ring below, he jumped out of bed and put on his glasses.
Mrs. Weasley had placed the freshly laundered wizard robes, shirt, and tie at the foot of his bed, and he fumbled to put them on.
Anyway, if nothing else happened, he probably wouldn't get any promotion in his life. He just thought about the good thing like changing offices in his dreams, and there was no need to even tell Molly as part of a small talk - besides, compared to the Ministry of Magic's
In addition to his job, he now has a more interesting part-time job.
Arthur Weasley's mood suddenly improved a lot as he thought about the steel behemoth floating in the sky.
"Have breakfast. By the way, Arthur, can you come back early today?"
Mrs. Weasley glanced at her husband who opened the door, took out her wand as she spoke, and hurried towards the stove.
"Hmm? I'll do my best. If there's no emergency - is there anything?"
"Mrs. Streep invited us to have dinner at their home tonight to discuss the engagement. I want to go to Diagon Alley to see some gifts."
Molly Weasley rolled her eyes at her husband, "Also, you'd better talk to George privately later. If he doesn't want to worry about reviewing for the school graduation exam when the child is born, he must learn to restrain his behavior.
, this kind of thing is not suitable for me to remind you, you know?"
"Hmm?! George is good at it - uh, I mean -"
Mr. Weasley glanced at his wife's raised eyebrows and quickly changed his words.
"This is so inappropriate, this is very wrong. That little bastard really needs to be educated!"
"Well, I'm going to find an excuse to sneak out early this afternoon, and then let's go to Diagon Alley to have a look. As for George, I will take time to go to Hogsmeade next weekend. They will go shopping there on the weekends and buy
I will talk to him about it when the time comes."
"It's best this way, by the way. When are you going to tell me what the part-time job Professor Dumbledore introduced to you is?"
Mrs. Weasley snorted softly, looked suspiciously at her husband who was having breakfast, and asked curiously.
In the past few months, apart from his daily work at the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley would sit in his study and read when he got home from work.
Mrs. Weasley glanced at the study room when she was tidying up. Most of them were books about Muggle gadgets, and there were many short comments and rough sketches beside them. They looked like children's doodles, but she was very familiar with them.
Know how much time your husband has invested in it.
In addition, Arthur Weasley went out to work overtime more and more often, and sometimes even went abroad.
In fact, at the beginning, Molly was able to restrain her curiosity.
But as time went by, she couldn't help it anymore.
"Oh, you're talking about that - didn't I tell you? The work content is absolutely confidential."
Arthur Weasley said vaguely while eating bread, "But don't worry, it's definitely not some dangerous or shady underground work. I told you, it's a huge transnational magical cooperation project. You
You will know later...don't worry."
"A super huge... transnational... magic cooperation project?"
Mrs. Weasley raised her eyebrows high again and continued to ask.
"So, no matter what, there must be a responsible agency or department, right? The Order of the Phoenix? Or the Ministry of Magic?"
"Actually, it's not..."
Arthur Weasley looked at his wife's expression and sighed helplessly.
"Okay, I can tell you the name of the responsible agency, but it has not been officially established yet. It is still a name that is only known to a few people and has yet to be determined... According to Professor Dumbledore's previous statement, the magical governments of various countries are still
In the negotiation stage. After all, you know that the establishment of a transnational magic organization has too many details and content to go through..."
"So...where's the name?"
"Well……"
Arthur Weasley shrugged and said while cutting the fried eggs.
"The official name is very long, but the abbreviation is very interesting. I remember it should be..."
"S.H.I.E.L.D?"
