Chapter 010: The Energetic Gryffindor
In such a passionate environment, Catherine couldn't stay calm at all, and she didn't want to stay calm, she simply abandoned her reserve, messed around with a group of Gryffindors, and released herself to her heart's content, until Molly drove everyone to sleep, and she suddenly realized her mistake.
Since Catherine developed the habit of protecting herself at all times, anyone who dared to approach within ten feet of her when she lost consciousness, except for Snape, did not suffer a heavy blow or even regret it for life, so in order to avoid accidental injury, Catherine always reminded herself to keep an appropriate distance from the people around her.
After entering the strange wizarding world, Catherine instinctively hid her special habit in order to ensure her own safety, so when Molly asked, she naturally agreed to live with Ginny, and after finding out that Ginny's room only had one bed, she didn't particularly care, thinking that she could not fall asleep at all, after all, it was not very difficult for her.
But who would have thought that the carnival of the birthday party would actually exhaust her energy, Catherine can only rejoice that Ginny is also too tired to do it, and she snores as soon as she touches the bed, and she doesn't even have the strength to cover the quilt, so she must have slept until dawn.
So after helping Ginny cover the quilt, Catherine opened the window gently, and poked her head out carefully, and when she had made sure that the whole Burrow had fallen asleep, she hooked the edge of the window and rolled out, closed it gently, and quietly fell into the garden, and ran out quickly before she could wake up the goblins in the garden.
The next morning, when Molly yawned and got up to make breakfast, she found that the table was already full of food.
"Good morning, Mrs. Weasley." Catherine folded the Daily Prophet in her hand and placed it on the side of her plate, "I just followed what you did yesterday, and I don't know if it's to your taste." ”
"Merlin!" Molly strode over to the chair next to Catherine and sat down, grabbed the girl's hand and complained dissatisfiedly, "Catherine, you are a guest, how can you ......"
"It's nothing! Mrs. Weasley. Catherine smiled and patted Molly's hand, "Anyway, I'm fine after my morning exercise." ”
"What time do you wake up for morning exercise?" Molly asked in surprise.
"Six o'clock." Catherine got up and poured a glass of milk for her, "You can't use magic during the summer, so it might be a little hot." ”
"Ahh Thank you! Molly took a small sip and suddenly looked at the steam coming out of the milk, "It's been a long time since I married Arthur, and I have had a cup of warm milk at the right temperature when I first woke up in the morning. ”
Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly, but did not speak, but sat back in her place, picked up her cup, took a sip, and looked at the newspaper again.
"Thank you, Catherine!" Molly said abruptly as the first rays of daylight shone into the kitchen, and then she picked up her cup and drank the milk in one gulp, then jerked to her feet and drew her wand.
"Loud voice!" As soon as she heard Molly's incantation, Catherine threw the cup and newspaper onto the table and raised her hands to cover her ears, and a thunderous sound rang out throughout the Burrow.
"Give it all down!" Molly shouted up at the ceiling.
"Pound pound!" Seven slams followed, followed by a series of ping-pong thumping thumps, and finally seven heads poked out of the kitchen doorway from high to low.
"Honey? What's going on? As the father of the children, Arthur asked cautiously.
"The sun is on your buttocks, aren't you ready to get up!" The sound of the loud spell made everyone's ears hurt, but no one except Harry dared raise their hands to cover their ears.
"I'm sorry, Harry!" Mo Li hurriedly lifted the spell, "I'm not talking about you, you go and get some more sleep, after all, I was so tired last night." ”
"No, no, Mrs. Weasley, I've slept enough." Harry put down his hand and said with a red face.
"I'm sorry, Harry!" Mo Li walked up to him apologetically, "It's rude that I actually forgot that you were here today." ”
"Rude, Mom, you're just-" - know it's rude! The twins approached their mother in disbelief.
"Shut up, you two, hurry up and get me freshened!" Mo Li roared angrily, "You guys too, why are you still stunned here!" ”
As soon as Molly became angry, the Weasleys immediately moved, and Harry was also pulled away by Ron, and the whole Burrow instantly came to life, like a newly activated machine, making a noise everywhere.
"Sorry! Let you see the joke. Molly walked back to the table and said to Catherine.
"No—" Catherine smiled as Molly regained a glass of milk, "very energetic." ”
"That's why I fell in love with Arthur." Molly took the cup and said happily, "Energetic Weasley." ”
Three days later, Catherine found that her comments were still light, and the Weasleys were not simply vibrant, but energetic.
Needless to say, if it weren't for Molly being at home all the time, he would definitely be looking for Catherine's stubble every day; Fred and George were thinking about pranks all the time, and in this tiny house, their destructive power was amplified at least tenfold, so much so that even the occasional explosions in their bedrooms were considered completely normal.
Although Percy's habits are obviously not in line with those of his family, as long as he talks about topics related to learning, his enthusiasm index is completely explosive; Ginny seemed shy at first, stammering with Catherine within three words, blushing at the sight of Harry and slapping over something next to her in a panic, but on her birthday, Catherine found that she was a very bold girl.
Molly was very busy, but once Harry and Catherine offered to help, she resolutely refused, and even ordered them not to set foot in the kitchen except when they were eating; As for Arthur, he always asked Harry and Catherine about Muggle life, and took them to his garage whenever he could.
"The Ford Anglia-105E," Catherine recognized at a glance, "launched in 1959, was the fourth generation of the series, and the most successful product of the series, selling more than a million until it ceased production in 1967. ”
"Wow!" Harry exclaimed, "Catherine, you know so much! ”
"That's all I know." Catherine smiled and explained, "Cars are a symbol of wealth in the Muggle world, and some models and models are not just bought with money, but also have a corresponding status and power, so the introduction of various models is one of my compulsory courses." ”
"Why is this mandatory?" Harry was puzzled, and Arthur excitedly asked, "What do you think I should improve?" ”
"I don't know about that." Catherine shook her head and said, "But this Ford Anglia is only the mainstream model of the 60s, so its relevant information should have been made public." ”
"Where?"
"The British Library - 96 Euston Road, London."
As soon as Catherine's words fell, Arthur took the two children to the door of the British Library and asked them to help him find the information on the car.
The British Library is currently the national library of the United Kingdom and one of the largest academic libraries in the world, with a collection of over 150 million items, including manuscripts, periodicals, newspapers, magazines, scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps, drawings, musical scores, videos and audio recordings. With 14 million books in the British Library, the British Library has the largest collection of books in the world outside the Library of Congress.
It is not easy to find a copy of the information in so many collections, but fortunately, since 1982, microcomputers have become popular, and a large number of them have entered schools and homes, and since November 1990, after Microsoft released the first generation of MPC (Multimedia Personal Computer), ordinary people have been able to access this efficient machine, so although Harry does not know very much, he can also help Arthur to query.
The problem was that Arthur, who had entered the British Library for the first time, the British Muggle Information Center, was so curious about everything that even the amount of information stored in Catherine's head could not answer his questions in time.
So it wasn't until the library closed that the two children were able to leave, and when they returned to the Burrow, Molly was naturally scolded like a thunderbolt, and the books and materials that Arthur had borrowed "so hard" were almost "burned" by his wife's anger, but fortunately he hid them in time.
Cars are an integration of industrial technology that can't be figured out in a book or two, and even if magic can simplify most of these processes, there are still many things that wizards without basic knowledge can understand, which makes Arthur want to tie Harry and Catherine to his side.
In an attempt to increase Arthur's Muggle knowledge, Catherine connected the Burrow to television under the pretext that she wanted to watch the Olympics, and the Weasleys soon became television fans.
Arthur catches up with a popular science show with Catherine's introduction, Molly and Ginny are obsessed with soap operas, Percy is fond of competing in the workplace, the twins are attracted to magic shows, and Ron and Harry watch cartoons together.
The Weasleys had to fight for the right to watch each day, and this continued until the day before Ginny's birthday, when the children received a letter from Hogwarts.
Catherine noticed that Ginny's offer of admission was written by Professor McGonagall, and she initially thought it was the task of the two principals, but when she listened to the Weasleys' small talk, she realized that the offer had always been written by the vice principal.
In keeping with the Hogwarts tradition, the letters to the other students were also in keeping with the Hogwarts tradition, with the exception of informing them that they were still returning to school on the Hogwarts Express from King's Cross Station on September 1st, and listing the textbooks they would need to buy for the new year.
