Chapter 009: Weasley's Response

"It's okay!" Catherine smiled, "Anyway, Slytherin and Gryffindor have always had a bad relationship!" With that, she looked meaningfully at Ron, who immediately glared back.

"Ahem!" Mo Li coughed, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere, "Catherine, you are staying in Ginny's room for the time being, okay?" ”

"Absolutely!" Catherine smiled and nodded at Ginny, and the little girl immediately blushed and hid behind her twin brothers.

"Where's your luggage?" Percy, who was following the group, suddenly asked.

"That—" said Catherine, scratching her face with her fingers, embarrassed, "Mr. Malfoy has lent me a house-elf, and said that when I get to my room, summon him directly, and I'll bring my luggage." ”

"House-elves!" The Weasleys let out all sorts of meaningful exclamations, but instead the twins shouted excitedly.

"What are you doing here?" "Hurry up and go to Ginny's room!"

Without waiting for Catherine to react, the two took the girl's arms one by the other and led her into the Burrow, followed by three curious children, leaving Molly and Percy with the more sedate to remain in place.

"This family is obviously taking revenge!" Molly held her forehead and sighed.

"Revenge?" Percy looked at her mother, then at Catherine's back, and suddenly realized, "No wonder I think Catherine is dressed very differently today." ”

"Different?" Mo Li asked puzzledly, "What's the difference, shouldn't normal girls dress like this?" ”

"This ......," Percy said, scratching her hair, "I don't know what to say, but it just feels completely different than usual." ”

"Uh-huh," said Molly, holding her chin and pondering for a moment, "there are so many boys in the house!" ”

"Huh?" Percy stared at her mother in a daze, not understanding what she was trying to say.

"Oh, I mean—" Molly reached out to cut her son's hair, "I should have introduced you to some girls!" ”

"No need!" Percy blushed and shouted in a panic, "I'm going to see Fred and George, lest they bully Catherine." Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and ran towards the Burrow.

"Running away from the wilderness, wanting to cover up---" Mo Li's eyes instantly lit up, "Hmph-if you can run, the monk can't run the temple!" She smiled mysteriously and staggered towards the Burrow.

Percy noticed that the girl was dressed differently than usual, but the other children didn't have the same attention, so the twins dragged Catherine all the way to Ginny's room.

Although Fred and George are twins, they are two people after all, and they are both fourteen years old, both have a lot of strength, and Catherine is wearing super unaccustomed high heels, which makes her go in danger.

If it weren't for her spirit, always paying attention to the situation under her feet, and even using the body skills she had trained hard before, she would have fallen several times, and Catherine felt that she had not worked as hard as she did today in the past year to avoid Slytherin's sneak attack.

As a result, Catherine had no time to observe the situation along the way, and it was not until she reached Ginny's room, where the twins let her go, that she was finally able to look up at the Weasleys.

Ginny's room is not big, after a bed, a wardrobe and a desk, there is hardly much space left, the room is not much decorated, basically some flowers and plants, all kinds of things are neatly placed, full of girls' delicacy.

For an eleven-year-old girl who has been by her mother's side and has not seen much of the world, Ginny's little world is good.

"Very well furnished!" Catherine complimented, and Ginny immediately blushed and hid behind her youngest brother.

"Girls' subject please discuss in private—" said Fred patting Catherine on the left shoulder, and George patting her right shoulder, "now please let us meet the 'legendary' house-elf!" ”

"Ahem!" Catherine cleared her throat and said, "Now there's the 'legendary' house-elf to make an appearance—Dobby!" ”

"Crackle!" With a loud explosion, Dobby appeared in front of Catherine, who respectfully bent down and asked the girl in front of him, "Miss Catherine, are you going to send your luggage here now?" ”

"Merlin!" "Oh God!" "This is a house elf!" "It's so short!"

Dobby didn't wait for Catherine's answer, but was greeted by the exclamations of the four Weasleys and their intense curiosity, and even the shy Ginny let go of Ron's shirt and leaned over to Dobby's side to take a closer look.

"Is it necessary to be so surprised?" Seeing that it was Dobby, Harry leaned against the door and groaned helplessly.

"Please forgive them for being so rare and weird!" Catherine quietly stepped back beside him and whispered.

"That's right!" Harry smiled, and suddenly noticed that the girl next to him seemed to be a little different from before, he turned his head to take a closer look, only to suddenly realize that it was different, "Why did you grow so much in a month?" Harry's tone was astonished.

"Didn't you notice that my shoes were two inches taller than I normally would?" Catherine asked with squint and plaintiveness.

Harry glanced down, shook his head vigorously, and suddenly looked up with joy: "That means, I'm already taller than you!" ”

Catherine looked at Harry, who was now as tall as herself, and then at Ron, who was still watching Dobby, and remembered Draco's height, and finally sadly realized that she had only become the shortest one after half the summer.

"How so!" Catherine pouted dissatisfiedly, surveying her petite figure, and then glared at Harry dissatisfied, "Why are you all taller than me?" ”

"This-this-" Harry stammered back, "I've heard that boys and girls - that- have different physical development times, maybe you can ask Hermione!" He struggled to pull out a smile and flatter his sister, who was obviously out of shape.

"Hmmm! All right! Catherine recalled, and realized that Harry had a point, but that didn't mean she couldn't vent her frustration.

"Dobby!" Catherine interrupts the Weasleys' onlookers, "Get me my luggage!" She couldn't stand the fuss they were all about.

Dobby, who was named, looked at Catherine, snapped her fingers in panic, and disappeared from Ginny's room.

Catherine realizes that it doesn't seem to be her attitude that alarms Dobby, but before she can think clearly, she receives protests from the Weasleys.

"Catherine, how can you be—"

"--I didn't even give him a word of notice and drove him away!"

"We haven't seen enough yet!"

"I wonder why he's so timid?"

Coupled with the shy Ginny, a total of four impulsive Weasleys, Catherine's mouth can't fight even if she can say it, but fortunately Percy appeared in time.

"What are you doing here?" The temporary eldest of the children spoke up majestically and successfully stopped the "siege" of Catherine by the four younger siblings, "Are you bullying Catherine again?" ”

"We're bullying her!" This is the complaint of the twins.

"If only she didn't bully!" This is Ron's complaint.

"No, really not!" This is Ginny's—a "grievance."

"Really?" Percy couldn't help but look at the other outsider present, Harry.

"Actually, that's what happened—" Harry's eloquence was really bad, and he explained for a long time without saying what had happened in such a short period of time.

"What's going on?" Molly's broad body appeared at the narrow staircase, causing the temperature of midsummer to suddenly rise by a few degrees.

"I saw the four of them besieging Catherine!" Percy said what she had seen before she was about to explain, but Molly, who was also impulsive, immediately scolded indiscriminately.

"What! How dare you four do that! Didn't you know that today was her birthday! Actually—"

Mrs. Weasley repeated a meaning in and out of breath for nearly half an hour, until her mouth was a little dry, and she stopped.

"Mrs. Weasley, you're wrong about them!" Taking advantage of Molly's breath to ventilate, the surprised Catherine hurriedly told the truth succinctly, "Because they were very curious about the house-elf, and I suddenly asked him to help with the luggage, so they just expressed their dissatisfaction a little." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Percy pushed his glasses in disbelief, and the other five children nodded quickly.

"So I blamed you wrong?" Molly pursed her lips and glanced back and forth at her four children.

"Of course!" The four Weasleys replied neatly and aloud.

"That's—" Molly suddenly became embarrassed, "I'll make your favorite cookies, okay?" ”

"Great!" The four Weasleys immediately cheered loudly, and Percy's otherwise meticulous face showed a hint of anticipation.

"Let's go! The children! Let's go to the kitchen! Molly shouted and beckoned to take the lead down the stairs, and the Weasleys immediately followed them downstairs in a crowd of today's birthday friends.

When the noise stopped downstairs, a series of slight explosions suddenly sounded in Ginny's room, and several suitcases appeared next to Ginny's bed, followed by a nervous Dobby, who trotted to the door and looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one, he hurriedly ran towards the top of the stairs, hiding his figure as he ran.

Catherine had feared that Narcissa's tricks would embarrass the Weasleys, but the Gryffindors apparently ignored Slytherin's metaphor entirely.

Excluding those boys who don't know how to behave, the enthusiastic Molly always fills Catherine's plate with food, trying to make her grow like her own children in a short time; For Arthur, wizarding fashion was no match for Muggle rags, and all he wanted most was to figure out how his collectibles all worked in a day; Ginny was very envious, but she knew her own situation very well, so she was more interested in how to make zuò.

Overall, it was a very novel experience.

Catherine didn't hold a birthday party, but it was the first time it was so lively, the first time someone kept talking to her, the first time someone played with her from time to time, especially when Arthur came out with a bottle of wine on Molly's back, the Burrow was completely carnivaled.
