Chapter 59: Weasley Manor (Part II)
"Fourth Young Master, Fifth Young Master, Little Young Master, Little Miss, you are back!" A house-elf with a bow and a patched strip of cloth that I don't know what it was was quietly appeared in front of the crowd. The tone and expression are very humble.
It's a shame that Hermione didn't come, otherwise I don't know if I would be in a hurry! Daphany secretly found it interesting. Hermione went home for the holidays. I haven't seen her for a semester, even if she is a top student, she misses her parents a little. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Taliya was on a foreign business trip again, she was too busy, and Daphany would have planned to go back to accompany her. The Weasley family manor, waiting for the summer vacation or Easter holidays to have time to visit, even if Voldemort will be resurrected this year, this holiday will not be too sad.
After all, even in the original plot, only a less important Cedric was hung up.
The elves lead the group of young wizards to meet the owners of the Weasley family, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were very happy that so many sons and daughters had come at once.
There weren't many wizards, and they supposedly should move around each other a lot. However, the two generations of the Weasley family are really not very motivated. As a result, the family's economy is not very prosperous. The Burrow's environment was not very suitable for entertaining guests, let alone children's friends and classmates, and even Arthur's own friends and colleagues rarely entertained them at home.
The Weasley family, as a traditional twenty-eight pure-blood family, is very estranged from the pure-blood family, although the main reason is the difference in philosophy, but the impact of this family environment is also not small.
Fortunately, because of his two children who used to think that they were not doing their jobs, now the family has recovered their financial resources. There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are living in poverty, but it would be a joke to say that they are not willing to live a relaxed and comfortable life.
"Fred, George, you two help your younger siblings greet your classmates." Mr. Weasley smiled like a blooming daisy and instructed the house-elves to prepare rooms for their children's classmates. As the oldest pure-blood family, the Weasleys' estate is far from being comparable to that of the Lestrants. Even if it doesn't need to be expanded further by magic, it's more than enough to entertain dozens of guests.
"Dad, it's the first time we're back!" Fred, who was holding Angelina's little hand, complained loudly - now there was a very easy way to tell George and Fred apart, to see who the girl was next to them...... Hopefully they don't play something forbidden.
"Oh, yes. You're not familiar with it either! Mr. Weasley patted his head and remembered that although it had taken him a few days to get acquainted with the manor, it was the first time that the children who had just returned from school had returned to their ancestral home.
"Nana, Nana!" Mr. Weasley shouted.
With a bang, an elf wearing a miniature maid's small skirt appeared next to Mr. Weasley: "Master, what do you command!" ”
This is the only one of the four house-elves of the Weasley family who has ever worked in the industry. She originally served a long-established but small magical family. That family was wiped out in the dark more than a decade ago, and the whole family died cleanly. Only this little elf was left to be freed because he had lost all his master. So he went to the Ministry of Magic to eat, and it happened to be the Division for the Prohibition of Muggle Supplies.
Arthur Weasley was the head of the Division for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Supplies, nominally second-in-command. However, in fact, the number one is an old and delirious old wizard, who simply receives a salary in his name, and does not care about anything else. Thus, in effect, Arthur Weasley was the steward of the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Supplies.
So Arthur Weasley came to make a fuss. He typed an application of his own to purchase the ownership of Nana, the elf owned by the Muggle Supply Division, and then signed it himself. After that, Nana became the elf teacher of Weasley Manor.
Much later, Daphany and Harry were surprised when they occasionally heard Ron mention his father's manipulation.
Daphany has since come to a conclusion. It may be fine to say that Mr. Weasley is friendly and has a sense of justice. Can he be said to be honest and honest? Pull it down, honest people don't have P eyes!
Although the rooms in Weasley Manor are not large, they are quite complete with all kinds of necessities, comparable to the configuration of later five-star hotel rooms. Everything from towels and bath towels to toothbrushes and soaps - although magicians can do without these things, the cleansing charm can be solved.
After a few train rides, Daphany was a little tired. After taking a shower, the whole person slammed into the fluffy bed, and Daphine almost moaned in comfort.
There was still some time before it got dark, and Daphany hesitated to take a nap. The Weasleys were preparing a dinner party, which was normally a little later.
Just as Daphne hesitated, there was a sudden slamming sound outside the door, accompanied by Draco's duck voice—the unfortunate child's voice change had not yet passed, and the broken gong voice was completely unworthy of the Zhengtai face.
Shaking her head helplessly, Daphany yelled to wait a while. Get dressed and open the door.
"Ah, cousin, you're taking a shower." Draco looked at Daphne in front of the door, whose hair was still wet, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but Pansy, who was beside him, smiled sweetly at Daphany. Ranwen
Draco's embarrassment lasted for a second, and immediately turned into excitement: "Cousin, cousin, they still have a Quidditch training ground here!" Let's go training. ”
"Train a hammer!" Daphine rolled her eyes angrily: "The old lady just finished taking a shower, and the training is not going to make a stinky sweat again." ”
Daphany said as she magically dried her hair. Even Mr. Weasley, who was very keen on Muggle items, did not have a hair dryer in his home. However, it has not been long since the manor has been back in use, and it is not ruled out that Mr. Weasley will get a few to use after a while. After all, he has money to spare now.
Unable to get enough sleep, Daphne simply stopped sleeping, and walked outside the house with Draco and Pansy. Daphany had thought that there were only three Slytherins in the manor at this time—after all, the Weasleys had a bad relationship with other Slytherins in the past.
But it was an accident, because she saw another Slytherin behind the manor.
Weasley Manor is very large, not inferior to Malfoy Manor. Behind the red brick building is half a Quidditch pitch, where boys and girls are practicing or playing.
Both Harry and Ron's broomsticks didn't come back from the Academy, but Weasley Manor did have a few basic versions of broomsticks. The twin brothers also didn't use their own high-level brooms, and all of them used the basics.
Dafanie glanced at it, well, both Ron and Harry were a little unfocused. The difference, though, is to have Harry's unfocused people in the air, while Ron's unfocused people sit on the sidelines and watch.
Naturally, it was Cho Chang in the air, but it was Fleur and Lavender sitting on the sidelines. Fleur and Bill were talking and laughing softly on the sidelines, looking very affectionate, and they couldn't tell that they had only known each other for the second day. Lavender, on the other hand, sat quietly on the other side, looking at Ron as he said this to another little girl beside him.
Dafanie could see that Lavender was trying to suppress herself. According to this girl's original personality, it is time to jump up and cheer on Ron. Well, apparently the little girl accepted Daphany's suggestion very completely.
But what really caught Daphany's attention was a little girl next to Lavender, a little girl with brown and red hair. He was wearing a black-and-green robe, which was the Slytherin uniform. And this girl Daphany does look a little familiar.
"That little girl is a freshman this year?" Daphany asked Pansy, who was beside her. Compared to Daphany, Pansy cares a little more about the students in the Sorting House, especially the girls. Therefore, in the original plot, Pansy in the fifth grade became the prefect.
"Well, this year's freshman, Mafalda Weasley!" Pansy nodded in confirmation.
"Weasley?" Daphany was stunned. She originally thought it was a girl who had a good relationship with Ginny, but she didn't expect it to be from the Weasley family, but obviously not Arthur Weasley's child, but a relative.
"Well, Daphany was wandering during the sorting ceremony, so you didn't pay attention. At the time, many people were surprised. Daphany smiled and said, "The Weasleys actually produced a Slytherin, and this impact is probably only comparable to Sirius when he joined Gryffindor!" ”
Daphne nodded, the Black family, as one of the purest pure-blood families, almost all the children of the generations, as long as they were enrolled in Hogwarts, were all Slytherins. On the other hand, there are occasional people who enter Ravenclaw, such as Tonks. But the name of the one who entered Gryffindor with Blake, Blake was the first and only one!
Correspondingly, the Weasleys have been competing with Gryffindor for generations. The Gryffindors, all of the seven Weasley children, can be seen. You must know that even the twin Petyr sisters are divided into two houses.
"What's her name?" Daphany didn't pay much attention when Pansy said her name just now, and remembered her last name Weasley.
"Mafalda!" Pansy pursed her lips and smiled, "Cousin, if you pay more attention to other things in the academy this year, you should pay attention to her." Is she known as Granger the second? ”
"Very good grades?" Daphany was intrigued, although most of the members of the Weasley family were honor students - the bloodline was really good. However, there are very few who have achieved particularly good results. For example, among the seven children in the lineage, only Bill and Percy really have very good grades. But these two directly dominate the grade! The other five children, although they are all good, can only be said to be above average, each with their own strengths.
"Very, very nice! Completely overwhelmed the Ravenclaw peers, and besides, the talent in potions and herbs is very high! Pansy raised an eyebrow, "I've heard Professor Sprout say that she has been teaching for so many years, and there are only two students who have such enthusiasm in the herbal medicine class, one is Neville Longbottom, and the other is Mafalda Weasley. ”
"Is it so powerful?" Daphany laughed.
