Chapter 715: Transfer
When Alan and Penelope's car drove near the Burrow, Alan controlled the car to descend slowly, noticing Penelope's contemptuous expression when he looked at the Burrow, Alan coughed and attracted the witch's attention and said, "Wait a minute, don't show this expression in front of them, there are seven children in their family to raise, let's stay for an afternoon." ”
"I see, but these redheads are making a lot of money now, but they won't be renovated. Penelope pouted in agreement, and then couldn't help but say more.
Molly, who was cooking in the Burrow, noticed the car outside the window, quickly shook her hands, wiped the apron on her body, and then quickly untied the apron, and the apron flew to the place where it was originally hanging behind the door. There was a thump, and Mrs. Weasley hurried down the stairs, shouting, "Alan has arrived...... Ron, take your pieces off the chairs, Ginny, go call George and Fred, I see Alan's car. ”
"It was the car I modified. When Mr. Arthur Weasley heard his wife's words, he jumped out of the couch and ran out the door, just in time to see the car slowly descending from the sky. He excitedly said to Harry who ran out of his way, "It's much smoother than the one I modified before. ”
Percy also rushed out, arranging the tie around his neck, and dressed very formally as if he were about to be received by the minister.
Accepting the invitation of Ginny, who was the only friend in Gryffindor House, Hermione, who had taken the lead through the apparition in the morning, and the haggard, even the sickly Tonks, walked out the door, and everyone's attention was focused on the car that had fallen to the ground and was heading towards the Burrow's door.
Alan and Penelope got out of the car, Arthur walked up quickly and shook hands with Alan, he couldn't wait to ask, "Welcome, Alan, is it still working?
"It's a great modification, but it's too quiet and you can't hear what is going on outside, it's dangerous, and it's easy to crash into a Muggle helicopter......" Alan said sincerely.
Percy leaned forward after they let go of their hands, and Allen's hand shook his hand lightly and let go, Percy looked at Penelope next to him, his smile was a little stiff, he nodded indiscriminately and didn't dare to look more, and stepped back behind Mr. Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley put her arm around her son's shoulder and patted her gently. Although Penelope now has a bad reputation in the Ministry of Magic, being regarded as a murderer and a witch, Molly knows that her son used to like her when he was at school.
Penelope stood calmly behind Allen, and said nothing more than the first polite greeting.
After a gentle hug with Harry, and then a nod to Ron, who came over with a stiff face, Alan smiled at Ginny who was standing on the side, and then stretched out his finger and rubbed the corner of Hermione's mouth next to Ginny, Hermione still had a smile on her face and looked at Alan in surprise. "There's some toothpaste on the corner of your mouth. Alan said.
Although Alan had already wiped it, Hermione couldn't help but raise her hand and wipe the corners of her mouth again.
"Although I came here in the morning after brushing my teeth, Mrs. Weasley had prepared so many delicious sweets that I couldn't resist brushing my teeth again after eating. Hermione explained in a low voice, a little confused.
"You should clean with a spell like I did, it's more convenient. Penelope was a little upset that Hermione had used toothpaste to get Ellen to have intimate with her, but the scene didn't happen.
"Alan, today we . LS results will be mailed out, and the owl won't be unable to find me, right? I should have come a day late. Hermione wanted to use the topic to ease her embarrassment, but after saying that, she really started to get anxious.
"Ahem, don't worry, they'll find you. Noticing Hermione's appearance, Alan sneaked another sideways glance at Penelope, resisting the urge to rub the top of her hair habitually.
"I took all the items in the ordinary wizard level exam and the senior wizard level exam~" Penelope stood behind Alan with his arms crossed, slanted at Hermione, and said deliberately in a tone full of nostalgia.
Hermione, who had been caught in the underbelly, couldn't help but start recalling the situation when she was on the exam, and fell into a deeper anxiety - there shouldn't be a mistake in one that couldn't get O......
Allen, who could only change his attention, looked at Tonks, who was in a sluggish and decadent mood beside Molly Weasley: "Tonks, you don't seem to be in good shape, why don't I ask Daisy to give you a vacation to rest for a while?"
"Thank you, Alan. No, she just gave me a vacation, I'm fine. Tonks forced himself to smile, then glanced at his fellow witches and said, "Hello, Penelope." ”
Alan found that the girl's smile had completely lost its ability to infect people in the past, and her haggard appearance was much inferior to before.
"Tonks, are you still worried about that Remus Lupin?" Penelope, who was a little unaccustomed to Tonks' appearance, raised his eyebrows and directly poked the question, "Since you like it, you should have another showdown with him instead of ......"
"Penello, I'm just not feeling well. Tonks tugged at his cloak and turned to Molly Weasley and said hurriedly, "I have to go, thank you for your tea, thank you for your comfort, Molly." ”
"Alan, I still have something to do, go first, I wish you all a good time. As if afraid that Penelope would continue to talk about Lupin, Tonks waved his hand at Allen and the others, turned on the spot, and disappeared all at once.
Molly Weasley looked a little irritated, she glanced at Penelope with disapproval, in order to be able to match Bill and Tonks, she had often invited Tonks to the Burrow for dinner lately, and today Bill had not returned, and Tonks left.
Calming down, Molly Weasley warmly invited Alan and them into the house: "I'm going to be hungry after driving so far, come in and get something to eat." ”
Alan nodded, he walked back to the car, and took out the gifts for the Weasleys from the car, there were quite a few things, including desserts made by Mrs. Morgan Lefay Harris, a few bottles of homemade elderflower wine, and exquisite magic chess, moon mirrors and other magical curiosities, not too valuable items but all contained hearts.
"Thank you, that's so gracious. Molly Weasley's short and chubby body moved forward and took the gift from Alan's hand, and the Weasleys accepted it without any reaction this time - in fact, they were not as sensitive to these things as they were when they were struggling financially.
In the distance, the cooing of hens could be heard in the shed. Although Arthur has found a part-time job in the Harris Group, the remuneration earned has made Molly Weasley no longer need to be as frugal as before, and after the twins graduated this year, four of her six children have their own jobs, and life has said goodbye to poverty and started to get rich, but out of habit, Molly Weasley still spends her life on a budget, except for traveling to visit her son who works in a distant country, saving money is a very important thing at all times.
As soon as Alan entered the Burrow and sat down, Molly Weasley brought all the dishes he had prepared to the table, and the thick steaming onion soup poured out of the iron pot that automatically flew into the air, and the bowls were automatically sorted and flew to the bottom of the iron pot, just in time to catch the hot soup poured out of the iron pot.
Molly Weasley, short and stocky, was unusually skilled in cooking, and with a wave of her wand in the air, bread and knives flew gracefully onto the table, neatly placed in front of everyone, the bread was automatically sliced, and the soup pot flew back to the stove.
As everyone began to enjoy their meals, Mrs. Weasley sat down at the table and said with a smile on her face, "Alan, thank you so much for investing in George and Fred so that they have something to do. ”
"They're really talented and motivated at playing pranks, wizards need a little more fun in their lives, and the jokes sold at Weasley's Magic Tricks should be popular with wizards, and I don't do it out of favor, but I really think it's worth investing in. "Allen affirms the value of investment itself.
"Your mother told me that the shop was doing well," Harry muttered to Ron in a whisper, "and that Fred and George were quite business-minded. ”
"That's an understatement. Ron glanced at his mother and Allen, who were talking at the other end of the long table, and he looked envious, "Harris and Fred are making a lot of money right now! I really want to go to see that place quickly, but Mother won't allow us to go to Diagon Alley on our own, saying it's not safe." ”
"Why don't you wait a few weeks for the start of school and take a look at their shop in Diagon Alley? Molly Weasley glared at her little son, who was too loud, but she clearly enjoyed Allen's optimism about her son's shop, and she happily said to Allen, "And Arthur's business, Arthur has been promoted!" Molly Weasley almost couldn't wait to say the happy event, "In order to respond to the current situation, Secretary Owen Harris has created several new departments, and Arthur is now in charge of the 'Office of Detection and Collection of Counterfeit Defense Charms and Protective Equipment'. It's a very important job, and now there are 10 people under me!"
"This is thanks to Secretary Harris' trust. Hearing this, Arthur Weasley thanked him, "and asked my assistant Perkins to come with me......"
"Before, Dad was in the Office Against the Misuse of Muggle Items, and there were only two people, him and his assistant Perkins. The office was small, and the previous position was neither respected nor well paid. It's great to have Secretary Owen Harris take the attention of him now and move to a new department. Percy praised him for having been on the wrong side of the line, and now that Alan Harris had agreed to his father's invitation and had come to the house as a guest, he had suppressed the emotional ripples of his feelings against Penelope and would not miss the opportunity to show his heart.
"It used to be pretty much the most boring department in the entire Ministry of Magic. Ron muttered.
"It's Arthur Mr. Weasley's own skills and talents, and naturally he will not be buried. Alan said politely, he and Penelope glanced at each other, in fact, they, the core of the Harris family, knew that the reason why Mr. Arthur Weasley was transferred in a promoted way was just to free up the position of the director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Muggle Items, and the position of this department would only become more and more important in the future. The inconspicuous but actually important position of function will be taken and will inevitably be in the hands of the Harris family themselves, but these follow-up plans have not yet been implemented, and the transfer of Mr. Arthur Weasley is only the first step.
