Hermione's house also didn't have a fireplace, so Mr. Weasley had to demolish it again when he arrived. After a sudden flame ignited on one of the walls of Hermione's house, Mr. Weasley arrived at Hermione's house with the Weasley brothers who had to come with him, and got stuck in the wall, and Mr. Weasley had to blow the wall open before he could take the Weasley brothers out.

However, since Mr. Weasley had greeted the Ministry of Magic's Department of Communications and opened the Floo Network, Hermione's traces reacted when he used his magic to blow up the walls of Hermione's house, but there was no warning from anyone from the Ministry of Magic's Department of Misuse of Magic.

Perhaps the Ministry of Magic was well aware of the flaws and deficiencies of the Trace, but they had no intention of improving the spell. The world is fair, and if you change the Trace, it may make the spell stronger, but the Trace's self-protection mechanism, that is, the chance of being cracked, may increase.

Just like program code, more program code will make the program more complete and have more functions, but it also needs to write more protection code to protect the security of the program. If you are not greedy enough, you may lose more than you gain.

In the same way, if the traces are perfect, the monitoring will be more perfect, which means that the privacy of these children with traces will be violated. Is it true that the Jinyiwei in history are unforgivable? No, the evil things they do may not be as good as those sanctimonious literati and big landlords.

Their greatest evil is not how many literati they have persecuted, nor how many things they have done that hurt nature and reason, but that they have violated the privacy of officials and literati!

It started with Jinyiwei, but it didn't end with Jinyiwei. From the notorious military commander of the Central Union, to today's paparazzi, and even a private detective with a legitimate and legal profession, he cannot avoid being rejected and disgusted by the public.

I still remember that there is such a story on the Internet about a veteran lock-picking thief who changed his past after coming out of prison and went to be a good person. However, after he helped his begging neighbor unlock the lock, the others not only did not appreciate his kindness, but became wary of him because of his superb lockpicking skills.

"Clean up!" After making a mess of Hermione's house and dusting it all over the place, Arthur Weasley quickly apologized to Hermione and cleaned up Hermione's house with a cleanup charm.

"How did you get here?" Maple asked first.

"Floo powder, very convenient! Just connect the fireplace to the Floo network, and with the help of Floo powder, you can use the flame to shuttle between all the fireplaces connected to the Floo network! Mr. Weasley explained, and looked curiously at Hermione's house, as rumored to be, interested in Muggle matters.

Other pure-blood wizards thought it was humiliating, and even Mr. Weasley's family did not approve of his hobby, but Maple, who was a Muggle-born, felt that Mr. Weasley's performance was commendable. However, it has to be said that his method of understanding the Muggle world is not quite right, resulting in his understanding of the Muggle world is only one-sided and half-understood.

"Is the fireplace connected to Diagon Alley as well?" Maple asked again.

"Yes, Diagon Alley has a specially set up fireplace to connect to the Floo network." Hearing Mr. Weasley say this, even Hermione couldn't help but exclaim, "That's great."

"By the way, Mr. Weasley, can this Floo net be used by people like Hermione's parents who don't know magic?" Maple asked again.

"Of course, Floo Powder's magic has achieved the ability to shuttle and move, and there is no need to apply magic anymore, so Muggles can also use it." Mr. Weasley said.

"That's great, Hermione, if you turn this place into a fireplace, and then connect to the Floo network all the time, if you are in danger, your uncle and aunt can take refuge in Ron's house at any time!" Maple said.

"Danger, what danger can my parents have?" Hermione was a little puzzled.

"Hermione, you won't forget what happened last semester so quickly! Harry had a direct encounter with Voldemort, who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone and resurrect him, and since Voldemort was not completely dead, he would definitely find a way to make a comeback before we found a way to kill him completely. Once he returns, not only will our world be in danger, but even your parents' world will not be able to stay out of it! Maple reminded.

Hermione instantly understood Maple's thoughts, and looked at him with a grateful expression, and at the same time felt a little annoyed in her heart, how could she not think of this. Perhaps it was the lack of a real confrontation with Voldemort that made her unable to imagine that Voldemort was truly terrifying.

"Mystery man? What's going on? Arthur Weasley had only heard the rumored version, but had not known the details. With the Minister of Magic, Fugina, even if Dumbledore told him about Voldemort's appearance, he wouldn't let the news get out. Similarly, most wizards in the wizarding world, who had enjoyed a rare peace, were also delusionally unwilling to believe that Voldemort had reappeared.

Seeing Mr. Weasley speak, Maple told him in detail about the robbery of the Philosopher's Stone.

"But don't worry for the time being, Voldemort is very weak now, and he has no body, he can only recover his magic with the help of other wizards!" Maple said, seemingly as a consolation, but in fact a reminder to Mr. Weasley—

Many of Voldemort's former subordinates were alive and well, and if nothing was done against them, each of them could become a time bomb that would allow Voldemort to poison the wizarding world again.

"Fred, what are you looking for? If I want to hide something, I won't let you find it so casually! Maple said to the Weasley brothers, who were glancing around Hermione's house.

"Oh, where are you hiding your stuff?" It wasn't the Weasley brothers who were supposed to be most interested, it was Hermione.

"For the low-level ones, the safe rooms, the mid-level ones, make a hole in the wall or floor, put the East XZ inside, then restore the walls and floors to their original state, and cover them with tables and chairs or carpets. It seems foolproof, as long as you carefully tap the wall and step on the floor, the hollow dark grid will make a different sound from the solid wall. ”

"Wow, your attention is awesome, how did you come up with all this?" The Weasley brothers said admiringly.

"It's very simple, if you read more Muggle novels, especially mystery detective novels, these tricks will come to you easily." When Maple said this, something suddenly came to mind, and said to Hermione: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has clouds and sunny days. Fiction originates from life, but it is higher than life. Hermione, I think you can also collect some novels to read, although they are a little worse than your own personal experience, but they can allow you to see more of life in a short period of time. Don't just look at the plot and the quality of the characters, analyze the characters and experiences in it, and feel their helplessness, pain and struggle, which can make you have more insights and improve your spiritual realm. ”

"George, come and see here!" Hermione and Mr. Weasley were both pondering, and Maple said that the trick to hiding things was itself a reminder to Mr. Weasley so that he could get a handle on Malfoy. Because Harry and Ron had used Polyjuice Potion to get Draco out of them, the dark magic items in their house were hidden in the floor under the carpet. At this moment, Fred didn't know what he saw, and suddenly called George over as excitedly as if he had discovered a new world.

"Look here, there's a note—"

Fred picked up the note and read it: "I happened to see some special talents in your daughter that belong to people like us, as your daughter's future classmate, this book will be given to her as a small gift, so that she can understand our world in advance!" ”

"Who wrote this?"

"The writing is very sloppy, it looks like it is written with the left hand, and I can't recognize the handwriting."

"But that can't hide it from us," the Weasley brothers said with a wicked smile on their faces.

"Someone who can come up with this idea,"

"Who else but Maple?"

"Ahha, it turns out that our Maple had her eyes on Hermione long before school started!" Seeing the big smiles on the Weasley brothers' faces, Maple couldn't wait to find a thread to sew them in their mouths right away.

"Maple, it's you!" Hermione, who was even more embarrassed by what the Weasley brothers said, blushed and glared at Maple with gritted teeth on her little face of shame.

"Alright, kids, don't make a fuss, now that the Floo network is connected, let's invite Maple and Hermione to our house first!"

"Okay, how do you use this Floo Net?" Seeing Mr. Weasley helping to relieve the siege, Maple immediately agreed and quickly diverted the topic.

With a wave of his wand, Mr. Weasley ignited a flame in the blasted wall, then took out a small bag of shiny powder Floo Powder and said to the Weasley brothers, "You show me first!" ”

Fred picked up a pinch of Floo powder and walked over to sprinkle the shiny powder onto the flames. I saw that the yellow flames suddenly turned turquoise, and quickly rose up, becoming taller than Fred. Fred stepped into the fire, shouted "Burrow" and disappeared before Maple and in the blink of an eye.

"You have to name the place you're going to, or you might go to the wrong door!" Mr. Weasley said, then holding the bag of Floo Powder and asked, "Which of you comes first?" ”

"I'm coming!" Maple immediately said impatiently, grabbing a pinch of Floo powder like Fred did and throwing it into the flames, and then shouted in the stunned eyes of everyone: "Diagon Alley!" ”

It occurred to Maple that he had forgotten to buy some potion materials when he went home before, and to practice the few potions he hadn't made in Snape's notebook. He bought several portions of each potion, as well as the various ingredients for the compound potion

In addition to this, Maple also bought dragon blood, as well as the blood of other magical creatures, and he wanted to try them all out to see which creature's blood was best suited for talismans.

The dragon skin was too expensive, and the previous erasure of the original magic traces could still be used, so he bought some cheap goods.

After buying an entire bag of Floo Powder here, Maple found that her money bag was almost empty.

Money is easy to come by, Maple spends money faster, and now the money left in his pocket is not enough for him to buy a set of second-year textbooks and wizard robes!

Why don't you make another trip to Hogsmeade, sneak into the school through the secret passages, and catch a few eight-eyed spiders to make up for the shortfall?

Thinking about this later, Maple returned to the fireplace in Diagon Alley with Floo Powder after shopping—

"The Burrow!"

"Welcome to our home, Maple!"
