Chapter 36: Gathering in the Burrow
Harry didn't know what kind of mentality George and Fred had used to take the candy.
All he knew was that the twins had the same dull expression on their faces, and they sneered in their pockets.
And frantically rolled at Harry.
Man, why is your cousin different from you? Didn't you say that Hagrid was conjured with a pig's tail when he stole your cake before?
Harry didn't know how to explain it, so he took his twin brother in his arms and let him hurry downstairs, and whispered:
"I'll explain it to you when I get to the Burrow."
Then he turned around and took out two boxes of candy from his bag and stuffed them into Dudley's hands:
"Zizi bee candy, Bibi multi-flavored beans, please eat!"
Dudley looked blankly at the candy in his hand and opened his mouth to say that he had quit sugar, but Harry patted him on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and hurried downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, Mr. Weasley, who had already cleaned the living room, was shouting happily:
"Kids, are you ready?"
Dudley hurriedly slipped the candy into his pocket and watched curiously as Arthur pulled out his wand.
"The flames are blazing!"
Immediately the fireplace burst into flames, crackling and burning as if it had been burning for hours.
Mr. Weasley took a small flannel bag with a drawstring from his pocket, opened it, and took a little powder out of it and threw it into the fire, and the flame immediately turned turquoise, and the flames jumped higher than before.
"So who comes first? Fred, you go first! β
He shook his head at Fred.
Dudley watched intently, as if to jot down every step.
He watched as Fred walked straight into the flames, the green flames burning around him, but they seemed to have lost their temperature, and they didn't hurt at all.
Fred waved his hand at everyone and said, "The Burrow! β
With a whoosh, Fred was gone.
"All right, George," said Mr. Weasley, "you second! β
Harry and George carried the box towards the flames, then erected it so that George could hold it more securely.
Then, George shouted, "Burrow! There was another whoosh, and it disappeared all at once.
"Ron, it's your turn." Mr. Weasley said.
"Goodbye." Ron said happily to the Dursleys.
He smiled at Harry, stepped into the fire, and shouted, "The Burrow! Then it was gone.
Only Harry and Mr. Weasley are not gone.
Harry was silent for a moment, "Well, goodbye then, Aunt Penny." β
Penny nodded, her lips squirming twice, vaguely audible, "Goodbye." β
He looked at Dudley again, hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and opened his arms, and hugged Dudley in Penny's somewhat surprised gaze:
"Goodbye, Brother D. By the way, you looked cool when you gave the sugar back to Fred. β
Harry took a step back and stepped into the fire:
"The Burrow!"
Harry had barely walked out of the living room when Fred and George grabbed his arm.
They whispered eagerly in Harry's ear:
"Tell me, man, how is your cousin different from what we think?"
"Well, it's complicated, wait a minute, you guys tell me first, what is that?"
"Fat-tongued toffee!" Frey sighed and said, "George and I invented it, and we've been looking for someone to try it out all summer......"
Harry was suddenly glad that Dudley hadn't eaten, he shrugged his shoulders and could only say:
"Dudley has changed a lot, I think the departure of Uncle Vernon has been a big blow to him, as you can see, he's like a completely different person.
By the way, Dudley and I have reconciled, in the truest sense of the word.
So don't tease him next time. β
Harry thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Actually, Dudley is pretty good like this, really. β
Fred sighed together with George, not knowing if it was disappointment or something else.
Harry looked around and saw Ron sitting at a cleanly polished wooden table, with two red-haired men next to him.
The two men he had met, and last year at Zhang's house, they spent an unforgettable Christmas together.
"Bill, Charlie!" He shouted in surprise.
"How are you, Harry?"
Charlie, the closest of the two brothers, grinned, stretched out his large hand and shook it with Harry, who could clearly feel the calluses on his hands.
Bill stood up, smiled, and shook Harry's hand, he was still so cool, with ponytail hair and little earrings full of personality.
They chatted enthusiastically, exchanging anecdotes about the year, and Bill and Charlie secretly told Harry that they had decided to join the Order of the Phoenix and do what they could for Dumbledore.
Bill's main task was to act as an eyeliner on the Egyptian side, as Dumbledore was a little worried that Voldemort would travel to Egypt in search of some "ancient magic" to enhance his power.
Although the ancient times were not necessarily stronger than the present, there were indeed some lost, powerful things, at least those weird curses, many of which had no solution.
Charlie also has a mission, and Romania's protected areas are home to the world's largest number of two-winged fire dragons, although this powerful creature is unruly and extremely difficult to control.
But Dumbledore also knew that some cruel, sinister dark magic methods could control them 'to a limited extent'.
"Smack-" A slight popping sound was heard, and Mr. Weasley's figure appeared in the kitchen.
Looking red and in high spirits, Harry could clearly see a small piece of something peeking out of Mr. Weasley's pocket, it was a flashlight, and it seemed that Dudley had given Mr. Weasley a flashlight that he didn't use.
He clapped his hands and shouted:
"Boys, time is limited!
Get moving, and don't forget the task your mom gave you!
Bill, Charlie, go buy something on the menu, Fred George, take Ron to set up the garden, the tables and chairs, the tables, the tables, the cutleryβ
By the way, don't let the goblins mess with it, and if there are weeds, remove them by the way! β
Harry hurriedly held out his hand, "Mr. Weasley, I want to help too!" β
Arthur hesitated for a moment, asking the guests to help was not hospitality, but seeing Harry's resolute appearance, he quickly compromised: "Okay, Harry, then you follow Ron." β
The Weasley brothers laughed and got up from the table and walked outside, Harry followed a few people to the garden, and then remembered and asked:
"By the way, Ron, what about Mrs. Weasley?"
"Ahh Ron sighed, looking complaining, but Harry always felt that he was quite proud.
"Remember Christmas? That time at Zhang's house? He invited his mother to be the general manager of the house-elf labor company. β
Harry nodded.
"Since then, Mom has been a different person, she has to dress more formally than Dad every day, devote herself to her career, and she is so busy every day that we can only eat casually.
She always said that the elves were still training.
But her incomeβ"
Ron's voice lowered, and he whispered, "Twice as big as Daddy!" β
"Wow!" Harry couldn't help but exclaim.
"But there's a good thing, man, and while Mom is busy, all my stuff is new, man! Brand new school uniforms, and tuxedo-"
Ron's eyes lit up, and he muttered with longing:
"Mom even considered giving me a broom for Christmas, oh my God, it's amazing, my own broom that can fly whenever she wants!"
"That's cool, Ron!" Harry couldn't help but get excited, he held Ron's arm and shook it vigorously: "When the time comes, we will train together, and the team will be empty soon!"
I know your strength, and I will definitely be selected for the team. β
The two little wizards cheered each other up excitedly, looking forward to the days when they would soar in the sky together.
When they came to their senses, the garden was almost finished, with two long tables spliced together, covered with white tablecloths, and the cutlery neatly placed on them.
With the lights flickering and the vats of butterbeer set aside, it looks like a sumptuous feast.
Bill and Charlie have returned, and they are watching Fred and George collide in the air with the bench in an attempt to knock each other off the sky.
Harry was a little embarrassed, but Ron was obviously used to it, and it was really simple for them who could use magic.
"What about Sirius? But to watch the World Cup? β
"Come here, he's been a little busy this time, he should be here later, right? After all, we said last time, meet at the Burrow. β
At this moment, a loud cry came from the garden gate:
"Harry, Harry!"
They stood up, Sirius standing in the distance with his hands outstretched, looking at them with a smile on his face.
Sirius's arrival seemed to be a sign that Mrs. Weasley had returned soon after, with Hermione with her.
The clever little witch went straight to 12 Grimmauld Place and asked Mrs. Weasley to bring her along.
That way, she didn't have to take the bus, take the bus and so on, and just follow Mrs. Weasley to apparition.
After a while, Malfoy landed on a broomstick in his full flight suit, and the eyes of the envious Harry and Ron were red.
muttered quietly that this was illegal, but looking at their appearance, it was clear that they wanted to come to such a scene if they had the opportunity.
When a crisp cry came from the sky, the peregrine falcon that swooped down turned over and turned into Zhang Xiao's figure and slowly fell, and the atmosphere completely came to a climax.

There is a change later, because the two chapters used the original content worth about 2 cents, so I wrote a little more.
Ask for a commuter pass!
