After a while, screams came from upstairs.

Ginny sped down, holding a tightly wrapped broom-shaped object.

Ron incredulously, "You bought her a broomstick?" ”

"Percy, can I take it apart?" Ginny asked urgently.

Percy naturally didn't mind.

Don't underestimate the speed at which a woman can unpack the courier, just a few seconds, and a layer of paper wrapped around the broomstick is torn all over the sky.

Inside is a brand new Smooth Wheel 2000, and you can smell the maintenance oil on it.

Ron's eyes widened.

Percy is so rich?

Although it is not the latest Halo 2001, it is still not cheap.

Ginny was happy so that she wouldn't have to be afraid of Slytherin's trident tactics.

Harry was happy for her, too.

Percy returned, invited by Arthur.

Arthur knocked on the door of his office and invited his son back for the holidays.

George and Fred grimace at Percy.

Charlie goes up to hug his brother, and Percy sits next to Fleur.

Sirius and Lupin sat down, their eyes glancing over the insignia of stars they were wearing.

There seems to be an awkward atmosphere.

Mrs. Weasley takes off his coat for Mr. Weasley.

Mr. Weasley said, "The department is still busy today, George, Fred. ”

He named the twins and said, "Don't forget your curse hat audits. ”

After Percy sat down, Mrs. Weasley served him a noodle.

"Try this, your mom did a great job." Fleur pushes the meat stew in front of Percy.

Ron, who was going to take a spoonful, was resentful.

"I thought you would go back to France." Percy said unexpectedly.

Fleur glanced at Bill, and Percy understood.

There are two people from the Ministry of Magic at the table, so inevitably, the topic will come to the Ministry of Magic.

Percy is located in the most important position of foreign relations, and he also knows a lot about foreign affairs.

Mr. Weasley took the last bite of the stew, scraped the sauce off the plate with bread, and put it in his mouth.

"Werewolf community re-expanded." "Their buildings are almost from the last century. ”

"The Silverhand Building will expand it," Percy said, glancing at Mr. Weasley, "and the Ministry of Magic will hardly have to pay a penny. ”

"Yes, the Silverhand Style," said Mr. Weasley dissatisfied, "the Silverhand has infiltrated almost the entire wizarding world. ”

"That's not infiltration!" Percy interrupted Mr. Weasley, "At least what they're doing is really good for the wizarding community. ”

The sound of knives and forks scraping over the plate is much quieter.

Charlie looked at his brother and then at his father.

Mrs. Weasley pleaded at the corner of her husband's coat, and Mr. Weasley took a deep breath.

The two fathers and sons almost quarreled when they sat down for a meal.

The two men did not continue to speak.

Fleur can also see that the relationship between father and son is tense, and the two father and son are on different positions.

Of course, she was on Percy's side, but she hurt Bill.

After the meal, they sat down on the couch.

The children went to unwrap their gifts.

Ron repeatedly confirmed that he had indeed not received gifts from his dear brothers.

He said to Harry dissatisfied, "I can't believe that none of them gave me a gift, and Ginny received the Halo 2000." ”

George and Fred also gave Mrs. Weasley a great hat.

This made Mrs. Weasley embarrassed who to wear.

Charlie received a Galleon from an owl and opened it to see that there were five hundred Galleons inside.

He was surprised who gave it.

When I looked at it, it said that a donation was made to a dragon trainer who was injured in the escape of the Romanian fire dragon.

This made Ron envious, and he felt that he could consider a career as a dragon trainer.

Unfortunately, he didn't choose to protect Magizoology.

Among Ron's gifts was still the sweater made by Mrs. Weasley, and even Harry had it.

But Fleur didn't receive it, as if that would be a waste of Mrs. Weasley's time.

Sirius complained to Lupin about how annoying Kreacher's house-elf was.

"Percy, can you talk?" Lupin, after a perfunctory remark about Sirius, found Percy.

Percy looked at Mr. Weasley, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

They walked out of the door and into the garden outside the Burrow.

The garden grows with trees coiled at the base of the wall, clumps of weeds and overgrown turf, a large pond, large groups of goblins.

A goblin runs past Percy's feet and is kicked by him.

"Don't blame your father, Percy." "He just wanted to protect his family. ”

"John never hurts us, and you have to know that." Percy glanced at Lupin and said with a straight face, "As a werewolf, you know better what John is. ”

Lupin smiled bitterly, "yes, I just realized that as a werewolf, I shouldn't be like this." ”

He looked up at Percy, who had been a student he had taught and who he knew was good.

"The more I know, the more I know why you willingly follow him," Lupin said with a sigh, "and he is charismatic, I can't deny it." ”

"So I want to know, what is his real ambition?"

Lupin still couldn't help but ask.

The people of the Star Society, that is the group of people who know John best.

It's important to him.

"Ambition?" Percy thought for a moment and said calmly, "Is it important?" ”

Hearing this answer, Lupin was slightly stunned.

Percy continued: "Isn't it enough that he's a good friend, a good classmate, someone to follow? ”

Lupin was silent, apparently not the answer he wanted.

Percy looked back at the Burrow, which looked like an illegal building, and said lightly: "Dumbledore and John, they are no different, the only difference is that John has always wanted to be good to his own people." ”

Compared to Dumbledore, John is like a person, he is selfish, and his benefits will take precedence over his own people.

And not like Dumbledore, who was selfless.

That's why it makes people feel like a god.

Percy was ready to leave, he was just coming back for Christmas, not being interrogated in turn.

Lupin couldn't keep it, and Fleur was ready to leave.

Bill asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Fleur gave him a blank look, "Your mother doesn't welcome me, of course I have to change places for the holiday." ”

She said it bluntly, and it should be said that her pride made her worthy of the wrong.

Bill was about to explain, when he saw Fleur leave the Burrow.

The two members of the Stars Society are gone.

Ginny ran down, and the light wheel 2000 never left her hand.

Harry and Ron went downstairs, Harry holding some old clothes.

He had lived in Burrow for a while, and these old clothes were left over from that time.

When he stepped over a staircase, he didn't stand on his feet and almost fell.

The clothes fell and a bottle with black powder rolled out of his pocket.

The bottle rolled to Ginny's feet, and she picked it up and wondered, "What is this?" ”

Harry picked up his clothes and was stunned when he saw it.

Lupin walked back, saw the bottle, and said, "It seems to be some kind of magical substance." ”

Ron muttered, "I don't remember the school having such a thing." ”

As they discussed, Harry put his clothes on the couch and prepared to take them to Black's house in the evening.

He walked over and took the bottle and said, "It's called stardust, a magic prop that can be used to find out if anyone is snooping. ”

"Oh." Hearing the purpose of this thing, Ron suddenly lost interest.

It was getting dark, and time was passing quickly.

It's time for dinner when the people who went out come back.

Fleur didn't come this time, which made Mrs. Weasley feel a little better.

She hummed "A Pot of Fiery Love" and stirred the soup in the pot there.

Ginny was curious about the contents of the bottle and asked, "How is it used?" ”

Harry picked up the bottle, and his mind flashed back to the use of the bottle John had given him.

Opening the bottle, he poured out a fingernail-capped amount of stardust.

Swing out in all directions.

I thought that these stardust would fall to the ground, but I saw the stardust drifting out the window.

The flying stardust is as conspicuous as the stars in the night sky.

Ron leaned over and asked, confused, "Where did it go?" ”

Harry was also puzzled and said, "I don't know. ”

He suspected that the thing had been left out for too long and had failed.

The three of them stood by the window, looking towards the trajectory that floated out.

As they watched, the stardust drifted into the garden outside the Burrow, clinging behind tall weeds.

The scene fell into Harry's eyes, who stared at the weeds.

Suddenly, the weeds moved.

Harry saw it, it was a wand that had cleared the weeds.

"Someone's there." Harry spoke.

Then I saw the wand shoot a spell at the Burrow.

The Weasley's clocks jumped, all pointing to mortal danger.

An explosion rang out.

...

Some people died, but not completely......
