304. Pre-school preparation

Harry felt like his eyes had been opened.

Life in the Burrow is a world away from life in Privet Road.

Everything has to be neatly and orderly at the Dursleys. And something strange and unexpected can happen at the Weasley house all the time. Harry was genuinely startled when he first looked in the mirror in front of the kitchen mantelpiece. The mirror shouted at him, "Little dirty, tuck the hem of your shirt into your pants!" "When there was a moment of silence in the house, the ghouls in the little attic would tear out their throats and yell and throw old water pipes downstairs. Even the occasional small explosions in Fred and George's room were normal. However, it wasn't the talking mirror or the ghoul who always made weird noises the most unusual thing about Harry Potter in Ron's house, but that everyone loved him here.

Mrs. Weasley was always frustrated by his modesty and tried to get him to refill four times at each meal. At the dinner table, Mr. Weasley liked to pull Harry to sit next to him so that he could ask a whole bunch of questions like a machine gun, Muggle questions like asking him to explain how the electric plug and the postal service worked.

When Harry talked about using the phone, he would say, "That's incredible! It was a genius invention that Muggles could find so many ways to communicate with each other without the help of magic. ”

After a week in the Burrow, Duten and Harry received a letter from Hogwarts on a sunny morning.

Harry wasn't surprised that Duten was staying at Ron's house for the time being. In his opinion, Du Teng's home must be in the far east, and it is not easy to return home, after all, it was far away in the east at that time.

He also asked Du Teng if he had returned home during the summer vacation, and Du Teng only smiled at this without answering. Harry thought he had accidentally poked Duten in the sore spot, and he didn't dare to ask again.

When the letter arrived, a large family was about to have breakfast. When Harry and Ron rubbed their eyes and walked down the stairs, the Weasleys, Ginny, and Duten were already sitting at the small kitchen table. As soon as Ginny saw Harry, she somehow accidentally knocked her porridge bowl to the floor, making a loud "Kara" noise. Every time Harry walked into the house, Ginny would unconsciously knock over something. Now, she hurriedly leaned down to pick up the bowl, but her face was as red as the rising sun. Harry pretended not to see anything, sat down, and took the toast from Mrs. Weasley.

"There's a letter from the school," Mr. Weasley said, handing Duten, Harry, and Ron an almost identical letter, all with addresses written in yellowish parchment envelopes and green ink.

"Dumbledore already knows you're here, Du, Harry—he's very well-informed." Seeing Fred and George walking in in their pajamas and sleepy-eyed, he continued, "You two have letters, too. ”

Everyone read the letter together, and there was a rare few minutes of silence in the room. Dutteng's letter told him to take the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station on September 1 as usual. The letter also included a list of books for the new semester.

Du Teng casually glanced at it and threw the letter aside, he didn't read the content and knew what it was, the reason why he read it was just to see if the main line of this world had been changed. The result is still the same, the teacher is still those people, and the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts is still the same stinky and beautiful Lockhart.

Over the next few days, Duten studied spells as usual, while teaching Ginny and Ron at the same time. Harry listened and felt that Duten had said it well, and he sat down and listened.

Finally, on the second Wednesday, the family needed to go shopping. Ginny is new to school this year and has a lot of things to buy. Ron and George Fred also needed to buy books for the new semester, especially Lockhart's articles, and they had to buy several sets at once, which was really not a small amount.

The Weasleys were a little worried, and Duten didn't talk to them.

He had money, but he couldn't settle the bill for the Weasleys, not because he was reluctant, but because it wasn't suitable.

The Weasley family still has Arthur, the head of the family, how can he overstep his bounds? That would not be a help, but an insult.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Weasley removed a flower pot from the kitchen mantelpiece and looked into it.

"It's almost done, Arthur," she sighed. "We're going to have to buy a little bit more today...... Ah, let our guests go first. Dear Harry, go first. Then she handed him the pot.

Harry looked at them and didn't know what to do, and they were looking at him too.

"I—what should I do?" He stammered.

"He's never traveled with Floo powder," Ron said with a sudden realization. "I'm sorry, Harry, I forgot."

"Never tried it?" Mrs. Weasley said, "And how did you go to Diagon Alley last year to buy books?" "I went by subway—" "Oh, really? "Mr. Weasley showed great interest.

"Exactly—"

"This is not the time to ask questions, Arthur," said Mrs. Weasley. "It's much faster with Floo powder, dear. But my God, if you've never used it—"

"He could, Mom," Fred said. "Harry, let's see what we do." He took a small pinch of shiny powder from the pot and walked over to the stove to sprinkle the powder on the flames.

With a loud bang, the flames turned emerald and burned higher and higher, gradually rising higher than Fred.

At this moment, Fred stepped into the fire and shouted, "Diagon Alley! Then it was gone.

Harry was stunned, it was definitely an unprecedented experience for him.

"Got it? If you still don't understand...... George, here you come. ”

By the time George's figure disappeared into the flames, Harry had roughly understood the role of Floo powder, but his mind was still a little foggy and somewhat scared.

"Why don't you come first?"

Mrs. Weasley set her sights on Duten.

"No need, Mrs. Weasley, I'll take Harry straight to Diagon Alley and wait for you."

Du Teng didn't want to enter the flying road network, it was too dirty, and he was covered in dust if he was not careful, since he had a more convenient way, of course he would not use a stupid method.

The Weasleys were still thinking about how Duten was going to take Harry away, and Duten had already stepped forward and reached out and gently pressed Harry's shoulder.

"Apparition shifting!"

With a crackling sound, Duten and Harry vanished from the spot in an instant, leaving only a slight sense of wind.

"It's ...... Phantom shapeshifting? ”

Arthur Weasley's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Advanced Spells...... Isn't little Duten the same age as Ron? How did he learn such an advanced spell? Ron, did you talk about apparition in class? ”

"No, no, I, I've never seen a spell like this."

Ron's whole person was not good, his eyes widened and his face was sluggish.

Looking at her expression, I knew that he was not lying, and now Arthur and his wife had a higher evaluation of Du Teng in their hearts. If learning well is something that can be done relatively easily, then advanced spells like Phantom Shifter are not something that everyone can learn. To put it mildly, even Arthur doesn't dare to use apparition casually now.

He is not very skilled in determining his own landing point, and once he falls, it is very easy to cause unknown dangers. But today he can be regarded as an eye-opener, a teenager who is only more than ten years old, is even more powerful than him, a middle-aged wizard. The phantom shifter in one hand was smoother than those high-level wizards in his impression, and he couldn't see any difficulties at all.

"It's amazing, this young man is amazing, Ron, you must walk around with him more, I can see it, this young man has a good character, how strong is his strength, his future achievements will be very, very high, get along with him now, it will be of great help to you in the future!"

Arthur said to Ron with a serious expression, and Mrs. Weasley kept nodding her head. Ginny looked at her parents blankly, she was now in a tsunami, and she still couldn't understand many things.

"Alright, now that Harry is gone, let's ......"

Arthur turned back and walked to the fireplace, and was about to wave to Ginny when the room crackled again.

Du Teng's figure suddenly appeared in the room, and after two rotations, he quickly stood still.

"Harry has already joined George, so I'll take Ginny and Ron over this time."

There was no tired expression on his face, not even a drop of sweat.

Arthur can see Du Teng's level, obviously the phantom transformation or something, it is very easy for Du Teng.

"Okay, then I'll bother you."

Arthur nodded.

"Nothing."

Duten smiled, then walked over to Ron and Ginny, reaching out and wrapping his arms around their shoulders.

"See you in Diagon Alley, then."

In the next second, the three of them turned into a gust of wind and disappeared.

Arthur and Mrs. Weasley looked at each other and shrugged helplessly, and the two used Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley.

When they came to Diagon Alley, the group went to Gringotts to withdraw the money first. Gringotts is the only bank in the wizarding world, the bank run by the elves. When Du Teng first came to this world, he taught these goblins a simplified version of portable space magic, and thus received a reward of 10,000 gold coins.

That's not a small amount!

When they came to withdraw the money, the Weasleys had only one gold coin and a small portion of silver in their vault. Harry had about a thousand gold coins there, which was not a small amount. He didn't even dare to let the Weasleys see how much money he had in his coffers, and he was afraid that Ron's parents would be embarrassed.

But when it was Du Teng's turn, Du Teng didn't have so many scruples. He didn't invite others to come in to see, but he didn't deliberately block the door, anyway, the door was ajar, and if you wanted to look, you could see it anyway.

George and Fred are not fuel-efficient, etc., Arthur has already scolded a few times, and they still follow Duten into the vault. In the next second, they were stunned by the glittering golden picture in front of them. The vault in Duten's vault is a hill that blinds the eyes.

In contrast, the Weasleys are simply inferior to beggars, in other words, if Duten is willing, his money is enough for him to live like a tyrant in his life in the Harry Potter world for the past few years.

"Wow! Duten, you are so rich! ”

"Did you give it to you from your house? Is your family a big family in the East? ”

George and Fred didn't tell the situation in Duten's vault, but asked quietly as they left Gringotts.

"My family is not a big family, the real big family in the East is very terrifying and very powerful, my family is just an ordinary family......"

He lied, although the background is a family, but this family is completely unwarranted, and no one will investigate.

"That must be very remarkable, otherwise how could I give you so much pocket money!"

George and Fred don't have a very intuitive sense of money, their only thought is that a rich family must be very remarkable.

After leaving Gringotts and returning to the granite staircase again, they went their separate ways. Percy muttered to himself for a long quill. Fred and George meet their friend at Hogwarts School, Lee Jordan. Mrs. Weasley and Ginny are getting ready to go to the second-hand robe shop. Mr. Weasley insisted on inviting Mr. and Mrs. Granger to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.

"We'll meet at the Blotted bookstore in an hour to buy you textbooks!" Mrs. Weasley said as she pulled Ginny as she walked. "Don't run down Tumbledown Alley!" She turned back to the twin brothers' backs and shouted out loud.

Duten takes Harry, Ron, and Hermione on a stroll down the winding cobblestone alleys. The gold, silver, and copper coins in Harry's pocket jumped around excitedly, as if he couldn't wait, scrambling to get out. So he bought three extra-large grass per peanut cream ice cream. They happily walked down the alley. Browse the dizzying window displays along the way while squirting on ice cream. Duten didn't want it, he wasn't interested in this kind of food.

Ron looked wistfully at a set of Chadri artillery robes in the window of the "Quality Quidditch Store". It wasn't until Hermione dragged the two of them to the parchment and ink shop next door that they reluctantly left.

At the Hopping Fun Magic Joke Shop, they run into Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, who are buying in bulk "Dr. Foley's Auto-Ignition, See the Water Blossom Magical Fireworks". A cramped scrap shop filled with broken wands, crumbling brass scales, and old cloaks stained with traces of various potions. It was there that they found Percy, who was intently working on a thin, but stuffy-looking book, How Prefects Gained Power.

An hour later, they finally set off for the Blotted Bookstore.

Du Teng was a little expectant, and involuntarily touched the ring on his finger, he knew that the second Horcrux was about to appear in front of him, and he was very much looking forward to it. (To be continued.) )
