Chapter 109: Visiting the Burrow
"Kids, there's still two hours left until lunch, so you'll be free to take the guests around before that." Mo Li said, then stared at the twins, "Don't get into trouble!" George? Fred? ”
"Mom, I'm Fred."
"I'm George!"
Mo Li didn't even look at the two of them, "It doesn't matter, no matter who is who, as long as you get into trouble, I will fight the two of you together!" ”
The two spread their hands in submission.
The twins wanted to take Ted to their secret warehouse base to discuss the magic items and second-hand trade.
In the past month or so, they have made seven or eight Galleons by selling useless old second-hand goods, and their emotions are very high.
However, Arthur Weasley had already grabbed Ted and started asking about his Muggle technology.
He asked about the TV.
Ted had to explain patiently, but Mr. Weasley couldn't hear it.
Ted had no choice but to say, "Mr. Weasley, Muggle technology is gradual and systematic, and there is so much knowledge involved in television that even I can't fully explain it. I recommend starting with a simple understanding, such as a radio. I've heard that there's someone in the wizarding world doing this right now? ”
It's a topic that goes to Arthur's heart, and that's his domain.
Don't forget his position at the Ministry of Magic: Director of the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects~
Although there is only one direct subordinate under his hands.
But something like the magic change of the radio is really in his charge.
Arthur Weasley: My turn~
He enthusiastically discussed with Ted whether the magic change radio could be popularized, asked about the basic principles, and so on.
Finally, he thanked Ted for his information, which helped him write the relevant law.
I'm really writing you a law!
In the end, he also whispered to Ted: "The last time we met and talked about cars, I have already modified my own one, and I will take you to see it when I have time, it is great~"
Mr. Weasley felt that it was too comfortable to talk to the young man, as if every sentence had reached his heart, and he would definitely talk to him more in the future.
Ted looked at Aunt Molly, who was directing the pots and pans in the kitchen not far away, and nodded cautiously.
You are a legislator, you say.
……
The friends in the yard were catching potato essence, and when they saw that Ted had finally been released by Mr. Weasley, they called for him to come and help.
Ron reached into an arm-thick hole and grabbed a strange thing larger than a potato.
The head was big, bigger than the body, like a potato seed.
has facial features, but looks a little ugly, and looking at the intelligent eyes, it is not much better than a purebred husky.
Seeing that Ron rounded his arm and was about to throw it out, Ted hurriedly wanted to come down: "Wait Ron, show me, I haven't seen this thing yet!" ”
Ron handed the potato essence to Ted, "Well, you have to be careful, they bite too." ”
Ted pinched the head of this thing and let it struggle, looked carefully, there were limbs, facial features, but the brain didn't look very bright.
"Are they called potato essence?" He asked.
George said, "Goblins, potato spirits, ground rats...... There are many names, depending on which one you prefer. They burrow in the yard and also nibble on vegetable roots. Mom hated these things, but Dad wouldn't let us kill them. So every time we throw them away, hoping they get lost and can't be found......"
Fred laughed, "Now it seems that it has had little effect. Maybe we should keep a dirt mink, which eats potato essence. ”
In Ted's perception, this thing also has magic in it, but it's very, very faint.
This thing is not even a simple creature, but some kind of spirit existence, similar to red hats, elves and the like. It's just that they're too weak.
Ted pulled the potato essence in his hand and asked, "Are they gendered?" ”
This question can stop everyone, and finally practice the true knowledge, but no gender characteristics are found.
This corroborates Ted's suspicion that this thing was not produced through normal reproduction.
Like a lot of magical creatures, they are born because of magic.
If it weren't for the Burrow's vegetable garden, potato essence would not have been born.
It was because of the activities of the Weasleys, who were wizards, that the potato essence was produced here.
The lunch at noon was very hearty, although it was not the kind of big fish and meat, but it was a very affordable home-cooked meal.
People eat a lot of food, and they all eat happily.
Aunt Molly kept feeding them until Jerry kept burping.
During the meal, Mr. Weasley brought up his work.
It is said that it is because a wizard who lives in a remote area has recently been attacked by otherworldly monsters, and even an old wizard has died because of it. The killer has not yet been found.
Now people are panicking, and wizards who live too far away are thinking about moving.
The Ministry of Magic had to take action, and even Mr. Weasley was seconded to the Division of Misuse of Magical Items to help confiscate illegal dark magic items.
"Yesterday I searched nine houses, a full nine! The old fellow Mundungus Fletch wants to cast a poisonous spell on me when I turn around...... I'll take someone to check on the Malfoy house in two days! ”
Speaking of the Chamalfoys, Mr. Weasley was overjoyed. The opportunity is rare, take the opportunity to find trouble with the old enemy.
However, Ted was more concerned about the news that a wizard had been attacked by otherworldly monsters.
Since it is called an otherworldly monster, it is naturally an unknown monster that has not been discovered or classified before.
The devil knows what it will be.
……
After dinner, Ron took Neville, Ted, and Jerry to his room to visit and rest, while Hermione and Hallie went to Ginny's room.
Ginny was going to Hogwarts in September, and the little girl let out a scream when she saw Neville, and her face was flushed, and she ran away, and then she secretly appeared and peeked at it a while. Scared Neville so much that he didn't know where to put it.
Since this place is called the Burrow, the house is naturally not particularly beautiful. But the space is enough.
Because of the presence of magic, the entire house was built in the shape of destroying the three views of the building cow and horse. If necessary, it expands up or left and right, and the shape of the house does not conform to the mechanical structure at all.
Ron's room is not very aesthetically pleasing, but it is large and can also be freely decorated.
Quidditch posters on the walls, a frog with tentacles on the top of its head in a fish tank on the windowsill, and a partition on the wall filled with all kinds of gadgets......
In Ron's room, he looked at his three friends a little reservedly, "It's pretty usual, isn't it?" ”
Ted put his arms around his neck, "Ron, you're not showing off to me, are you?" I don't even have my own room! ”
Jerry also leaned over: "My room can only fit a bed, a table, and a stool!" Brother, are you so cool? ”
Neville also whispered: "I don't have toys in my room, I don't have toys~ I envy you!" ”
Ron hurriedly apologized to everyone, and at the same time, his mood was relaxed. The feeling of slight inferiority is gone.
On the girls' side, Ginny was also whispering to Harley about the school, mainly Neville.
Regarding the issue of the branch, the two girls looked at each other very tacitly.
Harley looked serious: "The Sorting House needs to pass the test!" Very difficult test! ”
Hermione frowned, "I really don't dare to think about it anymore!" ”
Hallie: "yes, it's too dangerous. If I had to do it again, I'm not sure I'll make it. ”
Hermione: I'm already worried about new students.
In short, the little girl was fooled and was about to cry.
Hallie, Hermione: We didn't mean to scare you, after all, this is also one of the Hogwarts traditions~
How about the three more?
