Chapter 450: The Race of Two Alleys
This Christmas, the second brother of the Weasley family, Charlie Weasley, is back.
He had a broad face like a good gentleman, weather-beaten, and his face was covered with freckles, and it looked almost brownish-black.
His arms were muscular, but he wore a sleeveless cotton coat in winter, revealing white skin from the flames.
It was also these wounds that brought him back at Christmas.
Mrs. Weasley cried, and she held her second son.
Charlie is more like Mrs. Weasley, he is shorter and fatter than his own brother.
Being held in Mrs. Weasley's arms is still much higher.
"I can't believe that's going to happen," Mrs. Weasley said fearfully, "and I can't believe that it could be you." ”
"Alright, Mom." Charlie patted his mother on the back.
Harry spends Christmas at the Burrow and Black's House this year, and when he sees Charlie, he wonders how Charlie has returned.
Ron went over to greet his brother and was surprised when he saw his white arms, "When did you go whitening?" ”
"It's not whitening, Ronnie," Charlie said in a relaxed tone, holding out his arm, "it's burned by a dragon." ”
If you look closely, it is white, it is the skin of the arm that has been burned off by the flames.
Harry couldn't believe how painful it must have been.
Charlie glanced at the time and muttered, "I'll have to apply some medicine again." ”
His bare skin rubbed against his clothes, and he grinned in pain.
"I'll help you." Ron hurried up to help his brother.
Harry went over to help, too.
One took an oyster shell-shaped ointment and drugged the white arm.
The cool ointment made Charlie hum in his mouth and looked comfortable.
The Weasley twins returned, and when he saw Charlie's tragic condition, he stepped forward and said with a hippie smile, "Do you want burn medicine?" Weasley's Magic Tricks is for you. ”
"George."
"Please, I'm George."
The twins standing on the side spread their hands and were speechless.
Charlie said: "Can't you just let me be embarrassed for my brother's sake?" ”
Twins are always mistaken.
Bill also returned, he brought his girlfriend Fleur, and the two were also surprised to see Charlie's appearance.
"Fire Dragon, I was sent to track the Fire Dragon, and it turned out to be discovered, hiss...... Tap, Ron. ”
Ron's nails touched Charlie's skin, causing him to gasp.
Bill frowned and said, "What are you doing following the fire dragon?" ”
Charlie was about to speak, when Harry suddenly said, "Dragon King." ”
"What?" The others froze and looked at Harry.
Seeing this, Harry said, "At Slughorn's party, a dragon trainer mentioned it. ”
Charlie nodded and said, "You're talking about Werner, he always mentions his mentor." ”
"The Dragon King?" Ron hurriedly asked, "What does that mean?" ”
"Literally," Charlie answered the group as a dragon trainer, "the lord of the dragons, the king of the dragons, the leader." ”
"The Romanian dragon trainer speculated that the mass dragon escape was due to the dragon having its own king."
More people entered the Burrow, and in addition to Harry, Lupin and Sirius also came.
They all listened to Charlie.
"There have been fire dragons running away before, but not on such a large scale, so in order to figure it out, we went over to track it." Charlie smiled wryly, "As a result, we underestimated the vigilance of the fire dragon, and a Hungarian tree wasp burned me. ”
"Hungarian tree bees?" Hearing the variety of this fire dragon, Fleur's mind moved slightly.
The image of a fire dragon chasing after her appeared in her heart, and she did not speak.
And the youngest daughter of the Weasley family, at this moment, the picture of a thousand dragons in the valley appeared in her mind.
She thought for a moment, throwing out the crazy thoughts.
Even John couldn't control himself to become the king of dragons.
"Alright," Mrs. Weasley interrupted their storytelling, "it's time to get out of the way for dinner." ”
Charlie's hands were ointmented, and they were finally better.
Ginny wondered, "Why don't you use magic healing?" ”
Charlie said, "The fire of the dragon is poisonous, and there is no way to cure it with magic. ”
The meal was satisfying, but Mrs. Weasley didn't like the girlfriend Bill brought back.
Harry ate a piece of freshly baked apple pie and asked, "What about Dumbledore?" ”
Lupin said, "He's at Hogwarts, and there's a good chance he'll have a good meal with the professors." ”
"Tonks didn't come back either." Harry looked at the people at the long table.
Sirius sat next to him and whispered, "Molly invited her over whenever she could, we all knew she wanted Tonks to be Bill's girlfriend." ”
As he spoke, Sirius glanced at Fleur vaguely.
Harry was dumbfounded, no wonder the last time he saw Tonks being pulled by Mrs. Weasley, he smiled so forcefully.
The Burrow had always felt like Harry's home, and he loved it.
Sirius stayed here, he didn't want to see that Kreacher guy at the Black House.
Fleur leaves with Bill after dinner.
They are still in love.
Lupin also left, claiming to go out and keep an eye on what was going on.
Harry lay on the bed, looked sideways, and saw his godfather.
It was a life he couldn't have imagined.
"What's wrong, Harry?" Sirius noticed Harry looking at him, and he looked sideways.
When Harry saw his godfather, he couldn't help but laugh, "Sirius." ”
"Hmm."
"Thank you for being alive."
"That's what I'm going to say to you," Sirius said, still handsome, "Good night, Harry." ”
"Good night, Sirius."
...
After spending three days at the Burrow, Harry was supposed to go to Black's mansion with Sirius.
But Fred of the Weasley twins tells them that there is a Quidditch match between Diagon Alley and Tumbledown Alley.
Sirius waved his hand and headed to Diagon Alley.
Mrs. Weasley was furious, "No! Permit! Go out! Go! ”
Sirius waved his hand helplessly, "Please, Molly, no one is going to be crazy enough to kill in front of thousands of wizards in Diagon Alley. ”
But Mrs. Weasley blocked the door.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Weasley was so excited.
Because Weasley's clock still indicates mortal danger.
As a mother, Mrs. Weasley does not allow her children to take risks.
"Alright, alright, Molly, you won." Sirius seems to be convinced.
Harry was disappointed with Ron and Ginny, and that was probably the only chance they could get out on the holidays.
Sirius led them upstairs, and Mrs. Weasley, seeing them give up, left the door.
But Mrs. Weasley had just entered the kitchen on her front foot when Sirius and the three Harry sneaked out of the door on tiptoe.
The thrill of disobeying Mrs. Weasley's orders made all three children uncontrollable.
Just seconds after leaving the house, Ron accidentally touched a broomstick.
The broomstick falls, alarming Mrs. Weasley.
"Run!" Sirius roared.
They sprinted out of the house.
After leaving the range of the Anti-Apparition Charm, Sirius asked the three of them to grab their arms.
They vanished under Mrs. Weasley's angry gaze.
Reappeared, they were already in the bustling Diagon Alley.
White Christmas frost falls on the eaves of every house.
Because there were so many people, Sirius had no choice but to amplify his voice, "Hold hands, don't get lost." ”
He grabbed Ron's hand nearby, and Ron grabbed Harry's hand.
Harry glanced at Ginny, and the little emotion came to his heart again, and he held out his hand.
Ginny grabbed the hand and felt like an electric shock running through Harry's fingertips, making him clench and not wanting to let go.
Diagon Alley is very crowded, almost crowded.
They struggled to squeeze to the Weasley's Magic Tricks, where George and Fred stood on the high stool, and George shouted, "Buy the tickets here, go in one by one." ”
Fred held the green and red clothes in his hand and shouted, "Support Diagon Alley for red, and Tumble Alley for green." ”
In addition to these, a variety of supported products are sold.
"Four Diagon Alley clothes," Harry shouted as he managed to squeeze in, "four tickets." ”
George didn't even look at it, stuffed the ticket and his clothes through, "Just go in and go through the door." ”
Harry was almost squeezed back, and not long after he managed to find his godfather, he was pushed open again when he entered the door.
The door was next door to the Weasley Magic Tricks.
When you walk through the vermilion door, it's like entering another world.
A huge Quidditch pitch appeared in front of it, and the crowd instantly became spacious after a few steps.
"Harry!" Sirius and Ron walked over.
Harry was drawn to the scene before him.
"When did Diagon Alley have this place?"
His eyes widened, and the huge stadium was a little smaller than the World Cup.
"It was originally the site of the Ministry of Magic's amusement park project, and when I heard that there was going to be a competition, I lent it out."
The voice sounded not far away, and they looked at it, and it turned out to be Mr. Weasley, and he was also taking Bill and Charlie with him.
Mr. Weasley looked left and right, and said with a thief's heart, "Don't tell Molly. ”
He excused himself from work to come and watch the game.
The group soon converged.
Diagon Alley and Tumbledown Alley teams play.
Seeing those people, Ron smacked his lips and said, "I'm not mistaken, isn't that the owner of Florin Fosco's ice cream parlor?" ”
"And that, the owner of the Quidditch Boutique."
Familiar faces appeared, leaving them dumbfounded.
The race started quickly.
He thought there would be a fierce confrontation, but he saw Florin Fusco take a snowball out of his pocket and smash it in the opponent's face.
Soon, Quidditch matches turned into snowball fights.
Not only on the field, but also off the field, a snowball battle began.
...
Some people died, but not completely......
