"Ryan, come down quickly. Your classmate Granger is waiting for you downstairs." While Ryan was disassembling and studying a wand, the voice of his mother, Ms. Sally, came from downstairs.
"I know, I'll come down now." After hearing this, Ryan put down the half-disassembled wand in his hand and walked downstairs. This wand was the trophy from the last fight in the alley. Ryan got it from the two gangsters.
In addition to more than thirty silver Sickles, a dozen copper Knuts and a gold tooth, the only valuable items left were the wands they had on them.
Ryan got a wand after killing the dark wizard disguised as a professor in Brazil, but because he only had this wand without traces at the time, he didn't take it apart and study it. Now he finally got two more wands.
, naturally he took them apart and carefully studied the details of the most common, popular and mysterious magic props in this world. But he had to make other things before, so he took the time to study this now.
When he came downstairs, he found Hermione sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting with her mother, and a letter in a parchment envelope was placed on the coffee table in the middle of the living room.
After seeing Ryan coming down the stairs, her mother Sally stood up and said, "Miss Granger is here to see you. You can chat here." After that, she went out to prepare lunch.
Watching Ms. Sally walk into the kitchen, Hermione handed the envelope on the coffee table to Ryan: "Mr. Weasley said he would come here to pick us up in the afternoon in two days, and he invited us to stay at their house if nothing happens.
Stay until the end of summer vacation.”
"It sounds great to live in a wizarding family for a while. Do your parents agree?"
"Of course I agreed. They are always worried that I have too few friends in school, so they encourage me to get along with my classmates more." Hermione shrugged, "And there are many people who need dental treatment during the summer vacation, and they don't have much time.
Communicate with me.”
"I think it's okay for me, because next month my father is going to China to do some business and visit my grandfather, and my mother will naturally go with him. Because they plan to stay in China for two months, so naturally they can't
Take me with you. I was worried about how I would be able to spend this time alone at home."
After speaking, Ryan went to the kitchen to ask his mother. After carefully asking about his classmates, his mother smoothly approved Ryan's plan to live at the Weasley house until the start of school.
"Okay, then I will write a letter when I get back and ask Hermes to bring it to Mr. Weasley." After receiving a positive reply from Ryan, Hermione chatted for a while and then left.
After lunch the next day, Ryan took a short break and said goodbye to his parents. Then he dragged his suitcase to the garden in the middle of the street. After a while, he saw Hermione also dragging her suitcase over.
"Good afternoon." Ryan said hello and asked. "Do you know how Mr. Weasley picked us up?"
"I don't know, but Mr. Weasley said it was a convenient method that none of us have seen before." Hermione looked a little worried, after all, most of the travel methods in the wizarding world are not very pleasant.
After sitting on the bench and chatting for a while, a slight snapping sound suddenly came from the woods behind them. Ryan turned his head to look around and saw a tall, thin, bald man wearing an old suit holding a hand.
A newspaper stood there.
"Mr. Weasley, good afternoon." Ryan and Hermione quickly stood up to greet him.
"Ah, hello." Mr. Weasley said kindly. "Originally, I wanted to drive to pick you up, but the distance was too far, and the Ryan family didn't have a fireplace and couldn't use the Floo network. So I could only use Apparition to pick you up.
Take it over."
"Apparition, what is that?" Hermione heard a word she had never heard before and asked curiously.
"It is a kind of magic that can make wizards disappear from one place and reappear in another place in the blink of an eye. You can also learn it when you are an adult, but the number of wizards who can pass the exam and obtain the license accounts for at most half of the adult wizards.
It is not a simple magic. Every year, unlucky people use this magic and end up injuring themselves before fully mastering it." At this point, Mr. Weasley shook his head.
"But, we don't know this magic now. Let alone pass the exam to obtain permission." Hermione thought of something and said.
"Oh, I just forgot to mention it. You can follow me and apparate, just hold my arm. I can take you there when I apparate. Okay, which one of you two comes first?"
"Me." Ryan dragged his suitcase and walked towards Mr. Weasley.
"This is a very gentlemanly behavior, Ryan. You may feel a little uncomfortable when the entourage appears, but the tolerance will pass quickly. By the way, please put your luggage here first. I will come back to pick up your luggage after I drop you two off later.
"It's a box." Mr. Weasley said gently. "Okay, now grab my left arm and remember to hold it tight."
Ryan grabbed Mr. Weasley's outstretched left forearm.
"We're leaving." As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan felt that Mr. Weasley's arm seemed to be breaking free from his hand, and he quickly followed the instructions just now and grabbed it tighter. Then he found that the surroundings had become dark. He was affected by
The strong squeezing from all directions made it impossible to breathe at all. However, this pressure was much worse than the pressure after the escape tunnel was activated last time.
Soon he felt his feet on the ground, and a crooked building that could have made Newton climb out of his coffin stood in front of him. There were four or five chimneys on the red roof, and a sign was inserted diagonally in front of the house, which read:
"The Burrow". A few fat brown chickens were pecking in the yard.
"We're here. It's really nice to be like this for the first time." Mr. Weasley looked at Ryan who was just a little pale and said. "You wait here for a while, I will get Hermione right away."
Take it over."
After everyone arrived, Ryan and the others walked to the Burrow with their suitcases. After knocking on the door, a fat middle-aged woman opened the door.
"Ryan, Hermione, welcome. Fred and George's O.W.LS exams are thanks to your help this time, otherwise I can imagine how badly they would have done."
"This is actually mainly due to their own efforts, but they have never been able to give themselves a reason why they should study before. At most, we can help them find the motivation to study." Ryan said modestly to Mrs. Weasley.
.
As they talked, they walked into the house. The house was not big, and there was a small kitchen right after entering the door. There was a clean wooden table and a few chairs squeezed into the middle space, opposite the kitchen.
The wall clock on the wall has only one hand and no numbers. It says "make tea", "feed the chickens", "you're going to be late" and the like. There are three layers of books stacked on the mantelpiece. Look at the spines of the books.
The titles are all magic books related to household chores.
"It's amazing." Ryan heard Hermione say next to him.
"Our home, um, may be a little cramped, not as spacious as your home." Mr. Weasley said a little embarrassed.
"But it's warm here and you can tell it's a real home. That's good enough." Ryan replied.
This is not a compliment from Ryan, but a compliment from his heart. After all, among so many families in the original novel, the Weasley family is definitely one of them.
