Chapter 99: Is Your Mother Here Too?
The cloth bag that Link threw was not a spatial bag with the Traceless Stretch Spell cast, so Fred felt the weight in it as soon as he took over.
It made his brow furrow.
"Link, my parents didn't lie to you, we really still have money. ”
Fred said solemnly to Link, but Link had a headache.
Of course, he knew that the Weasleys still had some money.
Not to mention that the Weasleys already had children working, and even George and Fred would often make money by selling contraband at school.
According to Link's speculation, the small treasury that these two guys have saved over the years is probably several hundred gold Galleons, which is not a small amount.
However, Link also knew that the money was prepared by George and Fred to open a store after graduation, which was their dream all along, so they would not move it until they had to.
But it had nothing to do with Link, and the reason why he wanted to buy Ginny a new book was not because the Weasleys were pitiful.
It's because the person who got that diary in the original book was Ginny.
In order to prevent the inertia of the plot and send the diary back to Ginny, Link plans to simply replace all of Ginny's textbooks with new ones.
It's best to give her ten or eight more brand new diaries!
Previously, he asked George to break up the Weasleys just to secretly ask Fred and them to accept the money, but he didn't expect Fred to be stubborn.
This upset Link a bit.
But for the sake of insurance in the future, Link still said patiently:
"You just take it, I don't mean to pity you, I also know about you and George's little coffer. It's just a gift to a friend's sister. ”
"Yes, Fred, since Link said so, let's take it!"
Ron also agreed, as a poor man with an older brother and a younger sister, Ron, who had never been favored much, did not have the persistence of his parents and brothers.
"But ......"
Fred's expression was still a little struggling, and when he saw this, Link sighed and said:
"Well, don't act like I'm begging you, give Ginny the money, it's not for you at all. ”
Fred was stunned for a moment, and instinctively glanced at Ginny, who finally gave in and silently handed the bag to Ginny.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room finally became cheerful.
At this time, Fred was also relieved, he touched Ginny's little head and asked Link:
"But Link, I still don't understand why you asked Lucius to throw away that textbook, it still works. ”
As soon as Fred said this, the eyes of everyone present also focused on Link.
After all, his previous behavior was indeed unreasonable.
Seeing this, Link also showed a smile on his face, and he moved out of the excuse he had thought of a long time ago and said:
"Have you forgotten what Mr. Weasley does, members of the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects at the Ministry of Magic, and by the way, do they do some searching for confiscated dark magic items?"
Harry and Ron looked at each other, then nodded.
But looking at their expressions, they don't seem to have figured out the reason.
So Link had no choice but to continue:
"What does Lucius Malfoy do? Former Death Eater, notorious Dark Wizard, right? And what happens if he puts something in that book that he shouldn't have, and then reports Mr. Weasley?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.
They all knew very well that Lucius's character did indeed do such a thing.
At that point, Mr. Weasley would be in big trouble.
For a while, everyone became angry, and everyone's conversation shifted from Link to condemning the Malfoys.
At this moment, a slightly anxious voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Link! You just stopped Mr. Weasley and Malfoy with a spell?"
Hearing this, Link turned his head to look at him, and saw Hermione looking at him breathlessly, and behind him stood two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, who seemed to be Hermione's parents.
"That's right......"
"You're so impulsive!Link!" Hermione said with some annoyance, "Hogwarts prohibits underage wizards from using magic outside of school, and you will be expelled for doing so!"
"Ah, this ......," Link said a little speechless, "it doesn't matter, Hogwarts won't fire me for this, and the Ministry of Magic won't trouble me." ”
"It can't be!" Dumbledore warned us severely!"
Hermione was still a little unconvinced.
Seeing this, Fred coughed and said with some pride:
"Dumbledore is just scaring us, he won't really do that, George and I are all too familiar with this. You know, we've been playing with spells at home since first grade!"
"But I've seen a lot of cases of young wizards being expelled for this reason. ”
"I'm guessing they're all Muggle-born wizards, right?" Ron said, tilting his head, "It's normal, the traces implanted in our wands don't tell exactly who's casting the spell, as long as you have other wizards around it, it's useless." And you don't have to worry about Link at all, he's the only heir to the Foley family, and Dumbledore would be crazy to fire him for such a trivial matter. ”
"Is that so?"
Hermione's face still had a hint of confusion, but her tone had softened.
Link, on the other hand, frowned.
Because the system of Trace Silk is strictly a kind of extreme unfairness to Muggle wizards, generally this unspoken rule is secretly taken to heart, but Ron said it openly.
Especially when both of Hermione's parents are still around.
Thinking like this, Link secretly glanced at Hermione's parents, and saw that the expressions of the two were really not good-looking, so he decisively changed the topic and said:
"Hermione, are these two your parents?"
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot to introduce you, what a faux pas. ”
Hermione said in a bit of a panic, while Link directly skipped her and stretched out his hand to Mr. and Mrs. Granger and said:
"It's a great honour to meet you, you have a wonderful daughter who has been so brilliant at Hogwarts that you will be proud of in the future. ”
The Granger couple shook Link's hand with some restraint when they heard this, and they couldn't be blamed for it, the wizarding world was completely strange and strange to them, which made their nerves tense all the time.
However, after saying hello to Link, the tension eased a little.
After all, Link was still the first little wizard to greet them with an ordinary handshake.
You know, even Mr. Weasley, who had come with obvious good intentions, acted like he had seen a monkey in a zoo when he first saw them.
It's embarrassing.
Thinking like this, a more natural smile finally appeared on Mr. Granger's face.
But just as he was about to open his mouth to continue to communicate with Link, a loud voice sounded from the side again.
"Are you...... The Foley family, right?"
Lockhart forced his way into the crowd, staring at the family crest on Link's chest with an excited expression.
And for him, Link didn't have a good face, nodded a little coldly and said:
"yes, what's the matter with you? Mr. Lockhart. ”
Link couldn't help but learn from Snape when he shouted Lockhart's name, deliberately accentuating his tone and highlighting the mockery.
But Lockhart was not the slightest dissatisfied when he heard this, but asked with a glint in his eyes:
"Is your mother here too?"
