Chapter 17: The Burrow
Is this a two-person wizard?
At this moment, Brandi is already doubting the identity of Daddy Kozmo...... Both children were born with wizarding potential, and as a Muggle, the probability was not much higher than winning the lottery.
Or is it ~ a gleam flashed in Brandi's eyes. Could it be that Daddy was a spy planted by the Ministry of Magic in Muggle society? In fact, he is a pure-blooded English wizard at all?
However, inexplicably, Brandy's eyes saw the image of Daddy Kozmo, who was holding up his wizard's robes and jumping around clumsily with a wooden stick - poof! Just thinking about it is the blood of a brain.
Well, well, how is that possible. Daddy would be a wizard, and it would be as funny as Hagrid would waltz. He began to laugh and cry against the wall, trying to get the spicy-eyed images out of his head.
…………
Over the next month or so, Brandi finally learned what it meant to like the new and hate the old. Since the well-behaved Sylf successfully deceived Shirley with her fake acting skills, Shirley has almost raised her like her own daughter. Brandi liked this at first, but then he began to wonder if his position in the family had become a little delicate.
When Shirley comes home from work......
"Hey, Salph~Look what delicious I brought you~"
"Yale, good, here's your cat food."
Brandi...... Go clean the bathroom. ”
…… I guess I'm not a wild child that Shirley picked up from the garbage heap. With a rag and a mop in her hand, Brandi looked at Shirley and Sharf, who were sitting on the sofa as harmonious as mother and daughter, with indescribable bitterness.
During the day, after using magic to complete the housekeeping work, Brandi would go to Sorph's room and try to teach her some theory of magic, as well as brush up on what she had learned—she didn't have a wand to cast magic because she hadn't gone to buy magic supplies yet. However, things like potions and herbaology can be previewed in advance, and maybe they can help her get a few more points in the future academy.
In the evening, Brandi had to go back to his bedroom alone and begin to work his summer homework—in addition to the part that everyone had, Professor McGonagall had given him some Transfiguration that was clearly out of the ordinary. In her words, it seemed that she had prepared the same task for Parvati alone. Brandi speculated that it was because she and Parvati teamed up to subdue a dragon with Transfiguration last time, which made her mistakenly think that they were exceptionally talented in Transfiguration and wanted to open a small stove for them.
But in fact, that day they were just using the existing statue in the room, and the real transformation just made it move...... And the key problem is that he is just a big magic bottle the whole time. Those difficult yoga poses were actually done by Parvati independently.
This is really a person sitting at home, working in the sky. Looking at the thick stack of parchment, Brandi really has two big heads......
And just after finishing the day's homework progress, every other week, he had to write letters to his friends one by one. Their letters are sent frequently...... Almost every few days, an owl would pull up the fence outside his window and stare at him with malicious eyes. Harry's letters, in particular, were not only much more frequent, but also very strange, and he kept asking Brandi why they didn't reply to him.
But how is this possible, the owl messenger has never lost a letter halfway.
Considering that Harry had told him about his family, Brandi was starting to feel a little uneasy.
Could it be that his uncle-in-law drove all the messengers away because he was disgusted with the demon law world? After much thought, Brandi finally sent him a letter through his normal email address a month before the start of school - thankfully, he had written down Harry's address before parting.
He soon received a reply—from another location, Harry's.
"I'm already in the Burrow! Ron's house, it's super fun over here – Fred and George will pick you up tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. Harry. ”
…………
After a painstaking negotiation with Shirley's mother, Brandi prepared a large bag of things the next morning, and sat on the sofa in the living room with Sharf and waited anxiously. Because the professor would pick her up and take her to Diagon Alley in a few days, Sorph couldn't go with Brandy...... This seemed to make her very unhappy, and even Yale, who was usually closest to her, was not happy to hug her. It took a lot of effort for Brandi to make her happy again.
How will it be? Broomsticks? Phantom shapeshifting? Or use the Floo network to transmit it directly to the fireplace at home...... It looked like Floo could be bigger, and in order to allow them to land smoothly, Brandi also specially swept out all the debris and ashes in the fireplace.
Outcome...... They didn't wait for the emerald green flame in Brandy's mouth. Instead, I heard the horn outside the door and the shouting of George or Fred.
"Brandi! Get your stuff in the car! We're leaving! ”
Ha? Brandi opened the door quickly, and was surprised to find the identical twins smiling evilly sitting in an old car waving to him...... George and Fred, two wizards...... Can drive a car?
"We made a bet with Ron that you would be intimidated by the way we came to pick you up. It doesn't look like it's going to be too easy for us to win these seven wests. The Weasley brothers gave him a tacit high-five, got out of the car, and tried to help him carry his luggage.
As they entered the house, they saw Salph, who was hiding behind Brandy, somewhat bewildered. The two of them were blinded at once.
"Merlin's beard, this is your sister?"
"Are you really born to a mother......
"You shouldn't have inherited all the dross from your parents~"
"You two look like princesses and grooms when you stand together!"
George and Fred, you say a word, desperately poking knives in Brandy's fragile mind. I don't have to see him blushing, I have to fight with them...... However, the run is a run, and their actions are quite neat. After a while, Brandi said goodbye to Salph, who looked a little aggrieved, and got into their thief car.
"I said, do you really know how to drive?" Brandi sat in the back seat and asked Fred cautiously. "Have you ever studied systematically...... For example, having a driver's license or something. ”
"Driver's license? …… Is it the same thing as OWLs certificates, it's really troublesome, Muggles still have this kind of restriction when driving. "Fred was very skilful at setting the car on fire and starting it." Don't be afraid, we just went to pick up Harry two days ago. My car is driving fantastic. ”
"But speaking of licenses...... We do have a license. ”
"Really?" Brandi asked, half-incredulous.
"Of course"
Fred stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like an arrow off the string.
"It's a pilot's license."
……………………
It's unexpected, and Fred's driving skills are really good. They walked through the streets like fish, and soon left the city. Brandi had always thought that cars in the wizarding world were not ordinary, but in fact they were. According to George, the car would have been able to fly...... However, two days ago, they were severely reprimanded by Mrs. Weasley for picking up Harry, and they had to use this clumsy way of running on the ground to pick up Brandi.
It was a really good idea for Brandi. Because he is afraid of heights......
Slowly, the road was replaced by a dirt road, and green fields began to appear on both sides, and there was a village not far away.
"Our house is a little outside the village," said George, "and the ...... of Autrie-St. Cachpole"
They suddenly deviated from the front of a dirt slope and drove into a wilderness. Brandi clearly felt ripples like water slip over his body. It was supposed to be a magical barrier set up by the wizard, and sure enough, a few minutes further on. With a big turn, Brandi saw the room ahead......
"Oh!" He couldn't help but exclaim.
It was the first wizard's house Brandy had ever seen - Hagrid's cabin was clearly not on the list. It used to appear to be a simple cottage made of stone, but later a number of rooms were added to it, and the top-heavy design was made possible by magic. The whole house stood crookedly, several stories high. There were several large chimneys on the roof of the house, and curling cooking smoke was wafting. There were a few pairs of leather boots next to the gate, and a rusty crucible full of holes, and a few fat, oily chickens had used it as their nest and pecked near the yard.
At the gate, Harry and Ron had been waiting for a long time.
"How's that, isn't it handsome?" Harry rushed over and put his arm around Brandy's shoulder. Brandi was surprised to see that Harry seemed to have grown a lot taller. "There's a goblin in the garden, it's ugly, you might be able to throw the goblin with us in the afternoon."
Ron hesitated and stepped forward and lightly hammered Brandy. He looked a little embarrassed, "It's a little broken, and it's not that big inside...... It's definitely not as good as your Muggle house. They all said that our house was like a pigsty...... But you can rest assured that there won't be any smell here. It's just that there is a ghoul in the attic above my room, and he hums and chirps so much that people can't sleep all day. I know you're a shallow sleeper, and I've talked to my mom that you can stay in the one downstairs from me - it's a bit cramped, but ......."
But before Ron could finish speaking, Brandi laughed happily. He hugged Ron, who was still stunned, and cracked his mouth.
"Don't be so unconfident, Ron, this is your home—the most comfortable and cozy place in the world. Seriously, it's pretty cool! ”
Ron's eyes widened, and his ears turned red.
