The Burrow's garden was more lively than ever, with lights floating in the air with the help of magic.

Everyone was chatting, and by seven o'clock, the two tables were humming tired under the weight of the delicacies that Mrs. Weasley had made.

Although she is now the general manager of Molly, when she returns home, she is still the kind mother and refuses everyone's help.

Determined to cook with his own hands and show his cooking skills, at the long table, the Weasley family of nine, as well as Harry and Hermione, Sirius, Malfoy, and Zhang Xiao, all sat down and ate under the clear dark blue night sky.

Holding a full glass of butterbeer, Zhang Xiao touched Bill and Charlie, respecting their courage to give up their comfortable lives and fight against Voldemort.

Fred and George lit a bonfire, took Ginny and grabbed a few goblins, cast petrification charms on them, and posed as a band.

Malfoy tells the story of his return to England and his visit to the Burrow alone on a broomstick.

Harry and Ron listened with envy and envy as they bit their forks.

Zhang Xiao dared to say that Brother Pony absolutely disobeyed his father's orders, and this dangerous move could allow Lucius to beat his ass to pieces.

But after just a while, Malfoy couldn't speak, because no matter what he said, even Ron and Harry's eyes were red with envy and their teeth were creaking.

And never say a word of praise.

Unsatisfied, Brother Pony could only turn his head and tell Zhang Xiao and Sirius about Professor Lupin.

At this moment, even Hermione, who was exchanging hair care products with Ginny, stopped the conversation and came over.

Not to mention Harry and Ron.

Seeing so many people listening to him, Malfoy found that feeling again, and he dragged out his tone and said slowly:

"The journey was going well, but I don't know how, there was a nice-looking girl in the first class cabin of the plane who kept trying to strike up a conversation with Professor Lupin.

Professor Lupin was very shy and reluctant to talk to others, and when he got off the plane, the girl secretly came to me and said that Professor Lupin had a very melancholy temperament.

He was particularly attracted to him, who looked like a person with a story and asked me if I could give her the contact information. ”

"Whew——————"

Several people let out a prolonged sigh in unison, squeezing each other's eyebrows and making grimaces, all of them were young boys and girls around 15 years old, which was the age when love first opened.

Who still doesn't know what Malfoy means?

Sirius was most anxious, and he was happy for his good friend, and hurriedly patted Malfoy on the head and asked:

"How's it going? Did you give her Remus's contact information? ”

Malfoy broke free from Sirius' hand and said dissatisfiedly:

"Professor Lupin doesn't even have a mobile phone, where did he get his contact information?"

"Cell phone?" "What is a cell phone?" The little wizards asked questions.

Sirius patted his head and said in annoyance, "Gee, I should have prepared a full set for Remus."

Malfoy ignored his 'uncle', turned to look at Zhang Xiao, and asked curiously:

"Why would that pretty woman say that Professor Lupin has a lot of stories? I obviously have it too, and I've also read "The Story of the Poet Bean", why don't you look for me? “

Zhang Xiao almost couldn't hold back a sip of butterbeer squirting, swallowed the drink with difficulty, patted his legs and laughed.

"Why are you laughing at me?" Malfoy glared at Zhang Xiao dissatisfied, waiting for him to give an explanation.

"I'm sorry Draco, I didn't laugh at you, I just thought of something funny." Zhang Xiao pinched her thighs desperately, and finally suppressed the smile.

He coughed lightly twice, and then he regained his composure:

"Okay Draco, and then."

Malfoy rolled his eyes, and then reluctantly said:

"It's nothing, the people in the east took the professor away, saying that Tu Shan only opens the door once a year, and the professor has to wait for a while, and then he will send it over."

Well, that's not bad, Professor Lupin is absolutely safe in China anyway.

At the other end of the table, Percy was telling his father about his report.

Unexpectedly, Barty Crouch boldly appointed Percy as a trainee assistant to the Minister of Magic.

It's a very valuable position, but not many people get it right out of the blue.

Apparently he has become a fan of Barty Crouch, revealing his adoration at every turn.

Zhang Xiao couldn't tell if Percy was real or fake, but at least what he said when he was drunk that night was true.

Just then, Mrs. Weasley came over with a glass of wine, her face flushed and her face radiant, clearly enjoying her business.

"Thank you, kid." Molly raised her glass and took a big sip: "I feel like I've found meaning in life, and I love this job so much." ”

"You're welcome, ma'am, there is no one more suitable than you." Zhang Xiao stood up, also took a big sip of butterbeer, and asked curiously, "How is the situation over there?" ”

He is a little weak-minded, as a qualified hands-off shopkeeper, he just leaves things to others and immediately leaves them alone, just like Qingluan Society, just like this elf labor company.

I heard my father say that my grandfather was like this before, and he didn't want to care about anything, but then he was taught a lesson by the previous generation of heavenly masters, and he had to take care of it when he became a heavenly master, so he changed his temperament.

"It's okay, everything is on track, the hardest thing is how to get the elf to change his mentality."

Mo Li's expression became a little more serious, she shook her head and said: "The elves have always regarded themselves as the lowest slaves, and I don't want to evaluate this kind of historical problem, but what we need is service personnel."

This mentality has a great impact on the work, everything that needs to be done must be ordered, and it is limited to doing it, but it does not meet the standard of doing it well.

So we put a lot of effort into reversing our mindset and, as you mentioned, got the best Muggle trainers to teach them, and it was troublesome to maintain the Confusion Charm.

One time I forgot to add the Confusion Charm, and the pastry chef realized that it wasn't the students at school who had been in class, but the elves.

Straight out of the way, I had to give him a large sum of Muggle money and use the Oblivion Charm on him. ”

Uh, the corners of Zhang Xiao's mouth twitched, these things sound very troublesome.

"I've been so busy lately that my position dictates that I don't have much to spare, and all the official documents addressed to Minister Crouch must be collected from me first.

And – after the World Cup, we're going to be organising a big event, and it's even bigger than the Quidditch World Cup! ”

Percy's voice was louder, and the scene fell silent, whether it was Bill or Charlie, or Harry, Hermione, Ron, or Malfoy.

Even George and Fred.

Sirius's eyes were confused, he had been running outside all this time, and he hadn't paid attention to these things at all, and at this moment his interest was also suspended, staring at Percy curiously.

Percy cleared her throat as if she were in the spotlight, and seemed to enjoy the sight of the crowd.

He took out the posture of the assistant minister of magic, as if he was facing the interview camera of the Daily Prophet, and said solemnly, "You know what I'm talking about, Dad. ”

Percy sighed heartily, took a deep sip of elderflower wine, and raised his voice slightly: "This is top secret. ”

Arthur also sighed and nodded, wanting to say something but holding back: "That's right, top secret." ”

Ron rolled his eyes and whispered to Harry and Hermione and Malfoy, "Ever since he started working, he's been trying to tease us and ask him what it is.

I guess it's an exhibition of all models of crucibles. ”

Zhang Xiao knows, but he is not a showman, it makes no difference if he knows this kind of thing earlier and later.

So he just poured another glass of butterbeer and watched the lively scene with fascination.

I don't know when, but everyone talked about the upcoming Quidditch World Finals.

"It was definitely Ireland who won." Charlie stuffed his mouth with potatoes and muttered, "They beat Peru in the semifinals." ”

"But the Bulgarian team has Victor Krum.

He's the best Seeker in the world! Fred said.

'Krum is good, but he's just one man, Ireland have seven good players. Charlie said impatiently. 'But I really hope England can qualify. It's such a shame. ”

"What's going on?" Harry asked eagerly, "What happened to the English Quidditch team?" ”

Although he was a very talented Seeker, it was strange that Harry never cared about club or World Cup matches other than Hogwarts matches.

"Lost to Transylvania, ten to three hundred and ninety." Charlie said with a sad face: "The performance is terrible. Wales lost to Uganda and Scotland were beaten by Luxembourg. ”

As he spoke, he became excited, waved his thick arms, and roared loudly: "Lose Transylvania today, lose Luxembourg tomorrow, and who will you lose to the day after tomorrow?" Did you lose to the Congo? I don't even want my face! “

Everyone sighed, deeply ashamed of the England national team.

Zhang Xiao thought it was quite interesting, he wasn't angry, if he was angry about this little thing, he would have been angry with the sea cucumbers in his previous life.

It's just a reminder that Mr. Granger was angry at the unprecedented and humiliating absence of the English football team from the World Cup, and the wizards were angry at the unprecedented and humiliating elimination of the English national Quidditch team.

Muggles and wizards alike are angry about similar things at the same time, and there is a very special and hilarious feeling.

England – Please don't cry for me!

Mr. Weasley conjured up some candles to light up the darkening garden, and everyone began to enjoy the strawberry ice cream they had made at home.

Everyone had finished eating, moths fluttered low on the table, and the warm air filled the air with the scent of grass and honeysuckle.

Zhang Xiao felt that she had eaten a lot.

He sat there and watched as a few goblins were chased by Crookshank, laughing maniacally as they sped through the roses.

It was a feast to remember.

"Look at the time." Mrs. Weasley said suddenly, looking at her watch, and said solemnly, "You should go to bed!"

All of you — get up early tomorrow morning to watch the game.

Kids, leave all the school supplies with you, and I'll go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy them for you.

It will probably be too late after the World Cup, and the last match lasted a full five days. ”

"Wow - I wish it was the same this time!" Harry said excitedly.

"Oh, I don't want to." Percy said solemnly, "I was gone for five days at once, and my basket wasn't full of papers, and it made me shudder to think about that." ”

"yes, maybe someone stuffed dragon dung in an envelope and sent it to you, Percy." Fred said.

"That's a sample of fertilizer sent from Norway!" Percy said, his face flushed, "Not for private individuals!" ”

"Actually—" Fred whispered to Harry as everyone got up to leave the table, "that's what we sent him." ”
