Chapter 828: Prefect Celebrates
At about six o'clock, Mrs. Weasley returned from Deegan Alley. She bought back a lot of books, and a long package wrapped in thick brown paper, and Ron cheered to take the package from her.
"Don't open it yet, it's time for dinner, I want you all to come downstairs. Mrs. Weasley said, but as soon as she left Ron's sight, Ron tore open the package and feverishly examined every inch of his new broom, completely intoxicated.
The table in the basement was filled with food, and Mrs. Weasley pulled a red banner above the table that read: Congratulations to Ron and Hermione on becoming prefects!
Harry didn't think he had seen Mrs. Weasley so happy all the holidays. When Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Ginny walked into the room, she said, "I don't think we should just have dinner, we should have a small celebration," she continued beamingly, "Your father and Bill are on their way, Ron, I asked the owl to bring them a letter, and they were all thrilled. ”
"How many people have you invited? Mom!" Fred cried.
"Not many of them," said Mrs. Weasley, beamingly, "the members of the Phoenix Command you've seen, like Moody, Tonks, Lupin, and most importantly, you forgot, they're coming back today." ”
"They?" Hermione said suddenly, "Van Lin?"
"And Sirius?" Harry called out in surprise.
"Oh, of course, of course, dear, I received a message from them when I was out today, that Dumbledore's mission had been completely solved. ”
"That's great!" Hermione said excitedly.
"Of course, my dear, all good things come together. Mrs. Weasley excitedly said, "Mission accomplished, and you and Ron are prefects, today is definitely a day to celebrate." ”
Mrs. Weasley's words were not finished when the door opened from outside, but she didn't pay any attention to Mrs. Black's roar, and it was definitely a joy today.
"Alast, I'm glad you're here," Mrs. Weasley said happily as Moody took off his travel cloak, "we've wanted to have you for a long time - can you take a look at what's in the desk in the lounge? We don't want to open it for fear it's a really dirty thing inside." ”
"Okay, Molly......" Moody turned his magic eye and looked upstairs through the kitchen ceiling. "Lounge ......," he whispered, his pupils narrowing, "the desk in the corner......? Yes, a boggart...... Do you want to get rid of it now, Molly?"
"No, no, I'll go by myself later," said Mrs. Weasley, "come and have a drink, in fact, we're doing some little celebrations......" she pointed to the red banner, "there are four prefects in the house, and Sirius they're back." She snuffed Ron's hair and said happily.
"They came back, I knew that, so ...... However, the prefect ...... Huh?" Moody muttered, his normal eyes looking at Ron, but his MONOCULUS turned to the back and stared in the direction of the back of his head. When Moody looked at Harry, Harry felt uncomfortable, and he walked away and leaned over to Lupin.
"Well, congratulations," Moody still stared at Ron with his normal eyes, "but the authorities always get into trouble, but I think Dumbledore must have thought you could withstand most of the disasters, or he wouldn't have chosen you......"
Ron was shocked by Moody's point of view, but the return of his father and eldest brother saved him from the trouble of responding to Moody's view.
Mrs. Weasley was in such a good mood that she didn't even complain that they had brought Mondigus with her, who wore a long coat that looked like a strange lump in an unlikely position, and Mondongus politely declined the request to take it out, and he put the coat and Moody's cloak together.
"Here, let's have a toast," Mr. Weasley raised his glass when everyone had a drink, "Cheers to Ron and Hermione, the new Gryffindor prefects!"
As everyone raised their glasses to them, Ron and Hermione bowed and thanked them, and everyone cheered.
"I've never been a prefect either," Donx said briskly behind Harry as everyone went to eat. Today her hair was a tomato red that hung down to her waist and looked like Ginny's older sister, "because the principal of our school thought I lacked certain qualities that were necessary." ”
"For example?" asked Ginny, choosing a piece of baked potato. "For example, the ability to behave appropriately and politely. Tonx replied. Ginny laughed.
Hermione didn't know whether to laugh or not, so she choked on a large chunk of clotted honey.
Still, the girl's absent-minded look, Tonks still saw it.
Tonks kindly patted Hermione on the back, "Actually, according to normal circumstances, some people should celebrate this matter, but they set a time that is a little too late, so for those who are late, we have to keep ......"
"Oh, maybe we can slow down. Hermione blushed, "And there's nothing important today. ”
"Still, I'm skeptical, why...... Do you think your little boyfriend will care?"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, but with her understanding of Van Lin, she naturally vetoed such a thing quickly.
"There's nothing strange about that, Tonks. Lupin put his fork down, "Speaking of which, there were a few of us at the time, me, Sirius, and James, you know, both of them were much better than me in every way, but I was the prefect of Gryffindor in the last year. ”
"I think Dumbledore might want me to be able to practice controlling my behavior with my best friend," Lupin said, "but I have to say I'm a failure, but I understand Dumbledore's thinking very well, not all people need to prove it, and besides, choosing Ron, no matter what, Dumbledore is just putting the right people in the right positions, and I think that Ron can quickly master this kind of work after training, and the most important thing is control." ”
"You're all going to help him, aren't you?" said Lupin.
Harry's mood suddenly improved - his father hadn't been a prefect either. The celebration became fun for a moment, and he picked up the plate, feeling that everyone in the room was doubly cute.
