Chapter 480: Guest

It has to be said that Sirius was an extremely generous man to his friends. As a descendant of a pure-blood family, he could certainly sense the preciousness of this prosthetic hand. To put it mildly, this level of alchemy products can be regarded as heirlooms in many families. Therefore, after Ryan helped him so much, Sirius's thank-you gift was also unexpectedly precious.

You must know that in the magical world of Europe and America, the most precious thing is knowledge. Especially the knowledge accumulated by a pure-blood family like the Sirius family over a long period of time, every sentence and formula embodies a lot of experience and hard work of predecessors. Sirius's practice of giving away all the books on alchemy in the family could be considered an absolute loser in the pure-blood family. Of course, Sirius didn't care about that.

With a snap of his fingers, Kreacher appeared in the living room with a dozen thick books made of parchment stacked together a little taller than himself. Fortunately, Ryan sensed Kreacher's breath and opened the spatial protection barrier of the house, otherwise creatures like Kreacher who tried to teleport into the room directly through phantom transformation would be directly banished to the chaotic space by the peripheral defense system.

After putting the book down, Kreacher looked at Sirius's prosthetic hand. Then he respectfully greeted Ryan and left after a round of greetings. It also saw the value of the prosthetic hand, so it did not object to Sirius giving away a portion of the family inheritance. Besides, the core heritage of the Black family is dark magic, and Kreacher thinks it makes sense to trade some marginal knowledge for a family heirloom.

After everyone had cleaned up, Sirius and Merryum appeared with Ryan and Hermione apparitions, respectively.

After a familiar squeeze of time, Ryan and the others appeared on the path near the Burrow. Ryan saw the Burrow standing far away at the end of the path.

"Ever since Harry moved in, the Burrow has been protected by the tightest security the Ministry of Magic has ever offered, including the anti-illusion illusion spell. This is the closest place we can apparition to the Weasley house. We need to walk the rest of the way. Sirius explained. Ryan could also feel as if there were eyes watching them, which could be the Auror who had been patrolling the area for security reasons.

After walking for five or six minutes, four men appeared in front of the Burrow's door, and after knocking on the door, Mrs. Weasley's slightly nervous voice came from inside: "Who's outside?"

"I, Sirius, take Ryan with them. The door opened immediately. In the doorway stood Mrs. Weasley, short and stocky, wearing a slightly whitish blue coat.

"Oh, you're finally here, welcome!" Mrs. Weasley turned sideways to let everyone in, and then shouted upstairs, "Sirius and Ryan, Lane, won't you come down and say hello?" It's all a little bit of a gadget that's not expensive, but it contains a heart.

"Thank you, that's so gracious. Molly Weasley took the gift from Eren and thanked him. At this time, the Weasley twins Apparition appeared in the kitchen, and after a hurried hello to everyone, they turned to Ryan and them. "I heard that you went to the Celestial Empire to hold your engagement ceremony this time, how do you feel?"

"It's a completely different magical world, and my father is a bit of a relative there. So I gained a lot of things, and at the same time, I also ordered a large number of high-quality and inexpensive raw materials smoothly. The first batch should have arrived in Lupin, Norway, and it is estimated that the raw materials will be able to be sent next Monday. โ€

"That's a good thing. "It's getting worse because a lot of growers are moving abroad or growing other things, and the worsening security has blocked imports, and a lot of raw material prices have been rising recently," Fred said. Fortunately, we have our own plantations to ensure that the cost rise is within a controllable range, and now that we have new channels, we don't need to worry about this. โ€

"But don't digress. George said at this time. "How do you feel about being the first of us to get engaged? Mom has always felt that the two of you are getting engaged a little early in age. โ€

"It's a little early, but it's not a marriage. Hermione said unexpectedly, taking Ryan's hand at the same time. "Well, as long as we feel that we are a good fit for each other, then what do we have to wait for? โ€

"I understand that this is all because the mysterious man has returned, and everyone is panicked and has a sense of precariousness, so the things that would have taken time to think about have all been decided in a hurry. That's the last time the mystery man was in power, there were elopes everywhereโ€”" Mrs. Weasley said with a look of remembrance, and then hurriedly added as she glanced at Ryan. "Of course, I'm not talking about you, you two are more mature than the kids sitting here, and you're both good thinkers and calm people. I believe that you have made this choice deliberately. By the way, I'll make you a pot of tea. โ€

Mrs. Weasley left, and as soon as she had left the Weasleys, the other children and Harry came down the stairs to greet Ryan. After a few pleasantries, Ryan asked curiously, "I see that your mother supports my engagement to Hermione, so why did she say that there were people eloping everywhere or something when she was talking just now-"

"Ha, that's because of my brother. Ron understood as soon as he heard it. After glancing at Harry, who had gone straight to chat with Sirius, he said, "Bill and Fleur got engaged at the beginning of the summer and are going to get married next summer. The two of them may get engaged a little bit earlier than the two of you. Lately, Fleur has been working at Gringotts only in the mornings and has been staying at our house for the rest of the day. Our mother didn't like her, though, and she thought Fleur and Bill weren't in the same situation as you. After all, you've known each other for many years, and your personalities are very close. But Bill is a hardworking man, but Fleur isโ€”"

"A pure Frenchman. Seeing Sirius and the Weasley brothers and Harry chatting happily about some kind of joke product, Ginny walked over and sat down next to Ron. "You know, standard French tend to be a bit lazy and unorderly. Our mother didn't think it was a good match for Bill. However, I think Bill, as a spell solver, is probably more after something romantic and exciting. โ€

"How's Percy?" asked Ryan after talking about everyone's situation for a while, he hadn't heard from Percy since he had been confronted by Voldemort when he went to visit Ms. Burns, so he was a little worried.

"Fortunately, he didn't hurt badly last time. "He was promoted after that, and now he's in charge of three squads." But then he becomes very busy, often living in the office most of the week, and probably only on weekends can afford to stay home for two days. In addition, he is also dedicated to his work, and many times likes to lead by example. Everyone was worried about him, because his job was now the most dangerous in the Ministry of Magic, and he was slightly safer than the Aurors, and his mother even cried twice because of this. But everyone still admires him, for example, Fred and George are now starting to be proud of Percy and think that he is a real warrior. โ€

This is very much in line with Percy's character, as the most utilitarian person in the Weasley family, seizing the opportunity to fight desperately upwards has not changed at all. It's just that now because of Ryan's influence, Percy didn't choose the wrong path, and now it seems that his career is much smoother than in the original text. As Ron said, when Mr. Weasley was working in the ministry, he heard many people say that Percy was a rising political star, and many people were optimistic about this young man who dared to fight.

They chatted over tea, and after a moment of chatting, Harry made an excuse to call Ron, Ryan, and Hermione aside and tell them what was in the prophecy ball.
