Chapter 544: Hogwarts Radio
In the Burrow, the Weasleys had just finished their dinner, and Mrs. Weasley, who had packed up the dishes, put a pot of steaming tea on the table.
"Percy, you should get a girlfriend. You're the only one left in the house without a girlfriend, so you can't let Fred and George get married in front of you, right? β
Mrs. Weasley nagged Percy as she pulled out a plate of snacks from the nearby kitchen.
"If you like the right girl, take it home. The last time I saw the German girl named Monica Weiss drinking with you in Hogsmeade, you are colleagues who often get together, and if you take care of her more, girls will be easily touched by you. β
"I usually invite her to dinner, and I often go to Madame Pardiv's teahouse to sit down and find some excuse to buy some gifts for her. I'm afraid your little salary won't be enough, so remember to ask me to get a bag of Galleons when you go back. β
"You don't have to worry about getting married in a new house, the family has saved a sum of money in the past few years, enough for each of your six brothers to buy a new house."
"Where's Ginny?" Fred suddenly interjected and asked, "Isn't there a share of hers?" β
"Don't worry about her, Harry has more money in the Gringotts vault than you do." Mrs. Weasley replied.
Mrs. Weasley went to Harry's vault to get money to buy him this year's textbooks before school started, and she was frightened by the large pile of gold coins in Harry's vault.
After the last attack on the Burrow, the Weasleys briefly moved to 12 Grimmauld Place, and then moved back when the situation became less tense, after all, this was their home.
Today, Percy doesn't have to play the two-pronged trick unless he jumps to the Death Eaters, so he is often called back for dinner by Mr. Weasley or his twin brother.
On several occasions, Mrs. Weasley even sent freshly made snacks to Percy's Zhangjialou, where they were based.
It's just that Percy is only twenty-one years old, but he is single and has become an outlier among the Weasley children, and as a result, he enjoys his parents' nagging of older unmarried people ten years early.

Percy, who had long known the uselessness of rebuttal, looked at the watch he was wearing on his left hand, and then said to Mrs. Weasley, "The time is almost up, Mom. β
"Oh, it's almost eight o'clock!"
(; οΎΠ΄οΎ)βββ β¨
Mrs. Weasley immediately turned on the old box-like radio in the dining room.
The sound of "Adelina at the Water's Edge" came over the radio.
At eight o'clock GMT, the music ended, and a familiar voice came over the radio.
"Good evening, listeners, this is Hogwarts Radio, I'm Harry Potter today's rotating host, and welcome to Hogwarts Today from 8 to 10:30 every night."
"I almost forgot." Mrs. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief, and then poured tea and snacks for Mr. Weasley, Percy, and the twin brothers.
Harry's voice continued over the radio: "According to unnamed sources, tomorrow there will be no clouds in Scotland, and heavy to heavy rain in England and Wales. β
"Tomorrow I can take out all the quilts at home and bask in the sun." Mrs. Weasley said, "The sun is more effective than magic in wet weather. β
Incidentally, the Burrow is located in Devon, in the southwest of England.
β¨ "Next up is Hogwarts News time. β
β¨ "There was a big battle against the Death Eaters in front of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries this morning, and the brave Aurors killed the Death Eaters......"
"It is said that Professor Flitwick caused this incident today." Percy, who later found out the inside story, said.
"Shut up!" Γ2
The twin brothers stopped Percy who was disturbing them at the same time.
β¨ "This morning, Professor Flitwick, who was visiting the parents of the injured students at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, met Severus Snape, the shameful, dirty, and greasy traitor who killed Albus Dumbledore, the former Headmaster of Hogwarts, in the lobby of the hospital, and the two had a duel in front of St. Mungo's Hospital......"
At this time, almost all wizarding families and ordinary families whose children were wizards were listening to Harry Potter's voice on the radio.
Since the start of the school year in September this year, Hogwarts Radio has been established.
Due to the strong electromagnetic interference in Hogwarts Castle, the radio room in the castle needs to transmit the sound through a magic microphone to the radio room on the top of a nearby hill, and then the radio station converts the sound from the microphone into electromagnetic waves and transmits it to thousands of households.
The radio broadcasts focus on current school life, and will silently add content about the anti-Death Eaters and praise the achievements of the Ministry of Magic, in order to increase the influence of Hogwarts and increase the confidence of wizards to lodging.
Every night from eight to half past ten, Harry and several other students and professors took turns on the radio as hosts.
In addition to news columns, there are also regular or irregular broadcasts of listeners' letters and academic exchanges during the short broadcast time every day.
The scripts of the various columns of the radio station were completed by the students themselves, and although many of the drafts were immature, they were simple and unpretentious, unlike other radio stations.
In particular, there were a few times when Peeves raided the radio room and made a mess of the show, but the sound of Harry and Peeves grabbing scripts and Peeves singing their own ballads also brought back memories of the students who had been tricked by Peeves at Hogwarts, and some even wrote letters suggesting that Peeves be the host.
Just as Harry was about to finish reading the duel between Flitwick and Snape on the manuscript paper, the door to the radio room was silently opened, and Professor McGonagall silently walked up to Harry's side and pulled out the second piece of paper from the press release in Harry's hand, which was written about Zhang Xu's wounded in today's battle.
Professor McGonagall placed a written note in front of Harry, stating that the news of Zhang Xu's injury must not be passed on.
Harry didn't know why Professor McGonagall had arranged this, but he could only keep his doubts to the bottom of his mind at this point, and then began to read the original third manuscript.
In the Burrow, the Weasleys listened to the news while occasionally whispering about issues.
After the news program is over, there is a short music break, when the announcers in the radio room need to change shifts or scripts.
At that moment, a rooster crow came from the chicken coop outside the Burrow.
"I'll go out and take a look, maybe it's rats or goblins stealing chicken feed again." Mrs. Weasley said to the others in the dining room.
