Devon County, Ottery St. Catchpole Village, an unknown small village.
It is located on the south side closer to the village, hidden among the hills and trees. Most Muggles have not even discovered that there is a magical house there. The Weasley family, "the most prosperous pure-blood family in the wizarding world", lives here.
in.
This is a large stone house, with at least four floors. It is built crookedly, as if it was built by magic. Four or five chimneys stand on the red roof, and a sign next to the door reads "The Burrow".
"The sign stood tilted there.
The front door was surrounded by boots and rusty cauldrons. There were a few fat brown chickens in the yard, and goblins were building a nest.
The first ray of dawn slanted through the window into the narrow living room. Molly Weasley, who had just put her children on the Hogwarts Express yesterday, had already woken up and was preparing food in the kitchen.
Husband and little daughter prepare breakfast.
"Mom, I smell the aroma of fried eggs."
There was a creaking sound on the wooden stairs, and a little girl with fiery red hair walked down from the third floor holding a washed white rabbit doll, rubbing her eyes in a daze.
"Oh, Ginny. Usually when Fred and the others are around, I never see you so obediently taking the initiative to get up."
Raising her head and glancing at her youngest daughter, Ginny Weasley, Mrs. Weasley smiled softly - it seemed that little Ginny had grown up a lot after sending her brothers to Hogwarts yesterday.
"Come on down, today's breakfast is your favorite omelette with toasted cabbage bread salad."
Mrs. Weasley waved. As the children grew older, she cherished every opportunity to prepare breakfast for the family more and more.
After all, in another year, when Ginny also enters Hogwarts, she will be alone in the Burrow most of the time.
Ginny walked downstairs and sat at the dining table, placed her Mr. Rabbit on the chair where her brothers usually sat, looked around, and asked curiously, "Where's daddy?"
"I went to the door to pick up today's Daily Prophet. I'll be back in a while."
Mrs. Weasley replied casually, commanding her wand to deftly turn over the eggs in the frying pan.
"Mom, I had a nightmare last night, in which Hogwarts disappeared."
After a while, the girl pulled the rabbit doll's ears out of boredom and whispered uneasily.
"Oh, dear, it's just a nightmare. Don't worry, as long as Dumbledore is around, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the safest place in the world. How could it disappear?"
Mrs. Weasley shook her head with a dumb smile. As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, she understood the power of the old wizard all too well.
When Ginny arrives at Hogwarts, she will find that there may never be a more stable, calm, and carefree learning environment in the entire wizarding world than Hogwarts.
But speaking of which, why hasn’t Arthur come back yet?
According to common sense, with such a small distance from the kitchen to the door, Arthur Weasley had already returned to the main seat at the dining table, reading the newspaper and waiting for the meal to start.
Mrs. Weasley glanced at the clock on the wall, wiped her hands on her apron, and was about to go out to check on the situation.
Bang!
Suddenly, the wooden door of the Burrow was violently pushed open, and Arthur Weasley stumbled in, shouting loudly.
"Molly, something bad is going on! Something happened at Hogwarts!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Weasley frowned and looked at her husband displeased. Sure enough, the personalities of brothers Fred and George were inherited.
"I didn't say that, please read today's newspaper!"
Arthur Weasley spoke quickly and slapped the "Daily Prophet" that he had read back and forth several times on the dining table.
In the center of the first page on the front, a row of Gringotts goblins were sitting at attention. The goblin in the middle showed a parchment contract to everyone with a proud look on his face.
Above the picture, there is a row of bold bold titles - [Hogwarts is about to be taken over by Gringotts?!]
"This is simply ridiculous! Have the editors of the Daily Prophet been cast under a confusion spell? Are the goblins in Gringotts crazy!" Molly Weiss quickly finished scanning the first page.
Lai's brows were almost furrowed and he said in disbelief.
Although she had never had a good impression of the snobbish goblins in Gringotts whose noses were on top of their heads, in her impression, at least the goblins in Gringotts had never had such serious problems in some important matters.
"No, I have to write to Professor Dumbledore right away and ask what happened. Arthur, please finish breakfast with Ginny first."
Mrs. Weasley stamped her feet, waved her wand distractedly, moved the cooked breakfast to the dining table, and walked anxiously to the owl loft upstairs.
After all, counting Percy, brother Fred, George, and Ron, she now has four children studying at Hogwarts, not to mention that seeing Ginny reaching school age next year, Mrs. Weasley can't help but
Not in a hurry.
The red-haired little Luoli straightened up and looked curiously at the newspaper in her mother's hand, "What happened at Hogwarts?"
"Well, nothing happened... Honey, you just need to finish the salad in the bowl. These are issues that we adults should worry about."
Arthur Weasley calmed down, touched his little daughter's head, and said gently.
"I'm not a child anymore, I don't need anyone to eat breakfast with me." Ginny Weasley knocked on the table with her fork dissatisfied, wrinkled her nose and snorted.
"Okay, okay, my little Ginny has grown up." Mr. Weasley nodded absently and dealt with it casually, while trying to suppress the annoyance in his heart.
As a member of the Ministry of Magic, he is very aware of the Ministry's control over the Daily Prophet. Since this news has been released to the outside world, there is a high probability that this matter must have been notified to the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.
However, for such a big thing, why has no news come out at all before?
Mr. Weasley felt that his brain was in confusion. The description in the newspaper was too rough and one-sided. It simply presented the content of the Gringotts Goblins press conference without explaining the specific situation clearly.
"Then I'll go to the ministry and ask first. Molly, don't be too anxious. The ministry will definitely take measures to deal with such a big matter. Maybe a solution has been found by now. Besides, don't forget, there is Dumbledore.
The professor is here, he will definitely be able to control the situation."
Thinking of this, Arthur Weasley felt a little more at ease. He hurriedly stuffed breakfast into his mouth, took off his coat from the hanger and put it on. He walked to the stove and cleared his throat, and was about to use floo powder to go there.
Ministry of Magic.
Suddenly, a man's head appeared in the flames...

Gu~ The round-faced fat chicken looked at it and said, well, yesterday’s chapter did not reach the 1,000th chapter.
You see, it turns out that it is really difficult to stick to something, so why do you have to be so demanding on a cute Digimon?
The hell double beast is degenerating...
Let’s go eat first, and the activities will continue. After eating, I will take a look at yesterday’s chapters and decide whether I want to play Honor of Kings or Code Word Gu~
