Chapter 6: The Weasleys
"I mean, you're Muggles, aren't you?"
Just as Nick was paying for Carl's school robe and dress robes, a voice suddenly interjected.
At this point, Carl is arguing with Louise about his picture hanging in front of the store.
The family of three couldn't help but stop and look at the owner of the voice.
It was a somewhat balding middle-aged red-haired man, and next to him stood an amiable middle-aged woman and five red-haired boys.
"Hello, my name is Arthur, Arthur Weasley, and this is my wife, Molly, and my five sons. Mr. Weasley introduced himself.
"Uh, hello. Nick didn't seem to expect someone to take the initiative to greet the family, so he was a little overwhelmed.
"This is your son, isn't it?" said Mr. Weasley, pointing at Carl after handshaking hands with Nick and Louise. ”
"Of course—ahem—I mean, yes, this is my son. As soon as he heard that someone was quaaring, Nick's face immediately turned red, only to feel that the strange Weasleys in front of him immediately became very pleasing to the eye, and Louise smiled.
This made Mr. Weasley very happy, "I said, how about we find a place to have a drink? I've always been very interested in the Muggle world, we-"
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Weasley suddenly felt someone pull at the hem of his shirt, and when he turned around, he saw Mrs. Weasley staring at him fiercely with a dark face.
"Well, it's not appropriate, it's not right now. I also had to— uh— and buy school gowns for my sons. Under Mrs. Weasley's glare, Mr. Weasley said with a lack of breath.
Suddenly, Mr. Weasley had an idea, and said happily, "Why don't we finish our business first, and then meet at the Leaky Cauldron?"
After saying that, he winked at Nick, which made Nick inexplicable.
Carl watched all this coldly, and he even saw Ron, but it stands to reason that Audio-Technica should be a year below him.
Carl didn't think much of it, just sighed in his heart, even though he had always wanted to avoid contact with the Savior's team as much as possible. However, the circle of this world is too small.
There are some things that I really can't force on.
Here, after inexplicably making an appointment with the Weasleys to meet at the Leaky Cauldron, the Carl family of three walked out of the Madame Morkin Robe store.
The only thing that made Carl feel very relieved was that he was so disturbed by the Weasleys that his picture could not be hung in front of the robe shop after all, which made Louise regret for a while.
"Okay, let's see, what else do we need to buy next?" Nick ritually checked Carl's list of gear.
In fact, there's nothing left to buy.
"Ahh
"Uh, didn't you buy it for me?" Karl patted the book on his hand in confusion, ignoring Nick's name.
Louise smiled and patted Carl on the head - an action that Carl resisted for many years, and finally let it go, "Honey, that's not a birthday present. ”
"Your acceptance letter says first-year students can bring pets, and your mom and I are going to buy you an owl so you can write to us from time to time at school. Of course, if you want other gifts, you can do that. Nick said with a smile.
So, Carl and his family visited the Magical Zoo pet store and then the babbling owl store.
Carl saw a ginger cat in the pet store, with thick and fluffy fur, looped legs, and a face that looked like it had been crushed by something.
Hello, Crook Hill. Karl said silently in his mind.
The big clever cat noticed that Carl was looking at it and immediately looked at it. The man and the cat looked at each other for a while, and Crookshan sniffed at Carl, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and then turned his head boredly and ignored him.
"It's called Crook Hill, and you have to admit, sometimes it's pretty charming. The female clerk said against her will.
Carl smiled at the clerk and turned his gaze to the other pets.
Coming out of the pet store, the Carls also visited the owl shop. Naturally, Carl saw Hedwig again.
In the end, however, Carl chose neither Crookhill nor Hedwig, but an off-white eagle.
As the name suggests, the eagle owl looks very similar to the eagle and is very ferocious, and is one of the largest species of owls, and is a large bird of prey.
And this is only a female that Karl picked, which is larger than the male eagle owl, with a wingspan of nearly one meter, which is very beautiful.
Carl was in the mood for nothing, but when he saw her, he hit her in love with it. He just smirked and named her, Hela.
However, Hella is so big that even if it is not fully grown, it will stand at a height of 50 centimeters, and according to the clerk, if it is fully grown, Hella will be at least 60 centimeters tall and have a wingspan of more than a meter.
As a result, the eleven-year-old Carl couldn't get Hela to stop on his arm at all, and had to keep her in the cage, which made her very unhappy, and Carl calmed her down for a while before letting her obediently get into the cage.
At this point, the Carl family's trip to Diagon Alley finally came to an end, but it didn't end there. Just as Carl walked out of the owl shop with Hela's cage, the Weasleys also happened to come out of a second-hand store not far away, and the two collided.
"Aha!" Mr. Weasley waved happily at the Carls, strode over and shook Nick's hand, "Looks like you've almost bought it, let's go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink." ”
"Okay, okay. Nick couldn't resist Mr. Weasley's enthusiasm, but nodded in agreement.
As a result, the Carls and the Weasleys appear at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, which immediately enlivens the otherwise deserted bar - mainly thanks to the Weasleys.
Mr. Weasley introduced his sons one by one, and Carl met Charlie, Percy, the Weasley twins, and, of course, Ron.
Charlie got up and said goodbye after shaking hands with the Carl family, he is in seventh grade this year, he needs to prepare for the ultimate wizard level exam (N.E.W.TS), and at the same time, he has to prepare for a job, so it can be said that he has to race against time.
Perhaps because of Carl's age, Mr. Weasley focused on introducing his youngest son, Ron, to the Carl family, "This is my youngest son, he's going to Hogwarts next year, but he's always wanted to come and see it." ”
"Hello. Karl held out his hand.
"You, hello. Ron squeezed Carl's hand awkwardly, and Carl noticed that Ron's ears were a little red.
Although he is not the savior himself, shaking hands with one of the members of the protagonist group is also a historic moment, Carl sneered.
And at a closer look, Ron himself turned out to be a little handsome. Looking at it again, the entire Weasley family is good-looking, even Mr. Weasley, who is already bald, and it is obvious that he was a handsome guy when he was young.
The movie really serves the protagonist, Carl complained in his heart.
