Mr. Weasley gave Allen a tour of his shed filled with Muggle items.
Fred shrugged. "Dad is obsessed with everything related to Muggle. He takes them apart, enchants them, and then reassembles them. If he comes to my house to search, he'll have to arrest himself. Mom is going crazy over this. "
"She doesn't have to worry for a while. At least he can legally research that thing called … television? That thing, Mom has no reason to criticize him anymore. " George shrugged and put his arm on Fred's shoulder. "And Allen, thank you for convincing Mom to let us fulfill our dreams."
"I'm also doing this for my own benefit. You guys let go and do your best with your research." Allen picked up a dancing screw and said with great interest.
After tactfully declining their hospitality in the Burrow, Allen left a sum of gold coins for Mr. Weasley's research expenses when he left.
Seeing Allen's figure disappear from the Burrow, George suddenly said, "Dad, not only did we not return the money to Allen, we also accepted an even larger sum of money."
The few of them looked at each other, and the air was instantly silent. Only when Jenny, who had been observing from the attic, appeared did she break the silence.
"This money …" Mr. Weasley handed the purse to his wife.
"I can buy you some new clothes first, my dear." Mrs. Weasley affectionately patted the dust that had just rubbed against her husband's back.
"How unlucky. If only he had come to work with Dad a year earlier. Then I wouldn't have had to wear that 'antique' dress and make a fool of myself at the ball." Seeing Allen's figure leave, Ron walked out of the Burrow. The robe he was wearing had a patch on his hip. In order to avoid making a fool of himself in front of Allen, he had been sitting in a chair and hadn't moved a single step.
After leaving the Weasley house, Allen didn't go home. Instead, he walked to Luna's house nearby — in front of the courtyard outside that extremely strange house.
Allen looked at the hand-painted sign at the door for a long time and smiled. It was Luna's handwriting.
The gate of the courtyard creaked as he pushed it open. There were all kinds of strange plants growing along the winding path. There was a bush full of orange-red radish-shaped fruits that Luna sometimes wore as earrings.
Two old crabapple trees guarded the two sides of the front door. The trees were full of light pink crabapple flowers, which were very charming.
Allen followed the instructions on the sign and chose a bouquet of mistletoe flowers decorated with white beads. Holding the bouquet, he walked along the path.
Luna and Mr. Lovgood were talking in front of a heavy black door with round iron nails and an eagle-shaped knocker.
Luna was wearing a long dress that was the same color as the begonias at the entrance. A bunch of white mistletoe flowers were embroidered in her long blonde hair.
Mr. Xenophilus Lovgood stood opposite Luna. He was wearing a pirate's hat and his beard was curled up like a thrush's beak.
"I got two tickets to the performance of the famous witch singer, Sedina Warbeck. You can go any day on Saturday or Sunday." Mr. Lovgood's beard curled up.
Luna tilted her head. "That's great. You can see it twice in a row."
Allen deliberately coughed twice, and the two people talking in front of the door turned their heads at the same time.
"Mr. Allen Harris?" Mr. Lovgood was surprised by the sudden appearance of Allen.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Lovgood. I have something to discuss with you." Allen bowed politely and then said.
Mr. Lovgood heard this and opened the door with the eagle-shaped knocker in his hand.
Mr. Lovgood's living room was also a workshop, so it looked very messy. It was a bit like the unforgettable maze that the Room of All Requests had turned into. It was piled with things that had been hidden for many centuries, but this room was much smaller and had a standard circular shape.
There were piles of books and papers on every surface. Exquisite animal models were hanging from the ceiling, all flapping their wings or moving their mouths. Unlike the last time he was here, there were many pictures of magical objects hanging on one wall. Most of them were taken by Luna in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
"Ron was hit by Penello on a motorcycle? … He flew quite vivaciously … "After looking at the pictures, Allen sat on the sofa. From this angle, he could see the flowerbed outside.
It was Luna's small flowerbed. Although it was not big, it was very beautiful. It was covered with many colorful honeysuckle and morning glory flowers, blooming one by one and swaying elegantly in the wind. There were also tall white lilies and many other strange flowers, blooming in the wind.
Luna sat on the sofa opposite Allen and personally prepared tea and snacks for Allen. The fragrance of the flower shade behind her mixed with the fragrance of the tea. It was very elegant.
Allen calmed down and told Mr. Lovgood about his plans to start a wizard TV station.
"Mr. Lovgood, you are a very experienced and capable editor in the media of the magic world. In recent years, our 'Antagonist' is no longer a niche magazine, but has been developed by you into a mainstream media with sales second only to the 'Daily Prophet'. If I ask you to be the director of the TV station in the future, I will be very relieved. With your supervision, I believe the program will be popular in the entire wizard world. "Allen took a sip of tea and said contentedly.
"But I don't have any experience in this area. Newspapers, magazines, and the TV station you are talking about sound like two completely different fields." Mr. Lovgood touched his beard. He was not sure if he was up to the task, but he was also unwilling to let go of 'Antagonist', which was his heart's blood.
"I'll provide you with the relevant information on the Muggle TV station and some videos of their programs. You just have to do it. This is a novel thing for wizards. As long as it's not too bad, you'll succeed. It will just be a little hard. After all, 'Antagonist' can't do without you and needs you to take care of it. However, during this time, please don't attack the matter of Foggy denying Dumbledore's declaration of the return of Lord Voldemort. You can continue to collect evidence and publish it when you receive my notice. Believe me, this is a great opportunity for us to replace the 'Daily Prophet' as the number one media outlet in the future. " Allen, who learned the other party's thoughts through Mind Extraction, took another sip of tea and deliberately said in a nonchalant tone.
After Mr. Lovgood agreed, Allen said a little cautiously, "Mr. Lovgood, I also want to invite Luna to my family's training room for spell training … if you agree."
"Let's go." Luna stood up.
Mr. Lovgood, who had not yet reacted, was stunned. He opened his mouth to say something, but Luna had already pulled Allen out of the door. In the end, he could only look down at the two concert tickets in his hand.
In the Family Harris tower, Allen and Luna went straight to the training room. He had already sent a message to Penello, Hermione, and his family, asking them to gather in the tower when they were free.
Allen noticed that Luna rarely went to the tower library to study, so he picked a few spells that he learned in Ravenclaw Tower and didn't even touch on in the tower library and taught them to Luna.
"Luna, if you are willing to put your mind on growth, your growth rate should be the fastest besides mine." Ellen found that Luna mastered these spells at an astonishing speed, especially the spells in the Ravenclaw tower. She could learn them in one go, so he joked and complained.
