"What are you busy with?" Harry asked.
"Writing a report for the Department of International Magic Cooperation." Percy said proudly, "We are going to test the crucible's thickness according to the standard. Some of the imported products have crucible bases that are too thin. The leakage rate is increasing by almost three percent every year!"
"That's amazing. This report will change the world." Ron said sarcastically, "Think about it. The Daily Prophet will have the headline: Crucible Leakage."
Hearing this, Percy's face turned pink.
"Laugh all you want, Ron!" he said excitedly. "But some kind of international law must be enacted. Otherwise, we will find the market full of inferior products. The crucible bases are thin, fragile, and harmful."
"Alright, alright." Ron said impatiently and walked upstairs again.
Behind them, Percy slammed the bedroom door.
Like everyone else, Elwyn had no interest in the "crucible leakage" report that Percy was writing.
He was thinking that he might be able to find out from Percy how his immediate superior, Mr. Barty Crouch, was doing.
Elwyn did not expect Percy to find out anything unusual, but it would be enough if he could quickly grasp some clues.
If the Lord Voldemort wanted to save his most loyal servant, then Barty Crouch was an obstacle that could not be bypassed.
But considering Percy's personality, Elwyn doubted that he would help him.
Right now, he was probably hoping that Crouch would give him all the power and let him prove his ability.
Following Ron, Elwyn and the others climbed up another three flights of stairs. They could still hear the shouting coming from the kitchen below.
It was very loud. It seemed that Mr. Weasley had already told Lady Weasley about the Shapeshifting Candy.
The voices dragged Elwyn's thoughts back to reality. Forget about the Lord Voldemort and Barty Crouch Jr.
Pacifying the angry Hermione was the most important thing.
Pushing the door open, Ron's room did not seem any different from before.
The walls were covered with posters of Ron's favorite Quidditch team, Chadri Flames.
The team members flew around the walls and the sloping ceiling, waving non-stop.
On the windowsill was the goldfish tank that used to contain frog eggs, but now it was a frighteningly large frog.
Ron's old pet rat, Spotty, was gone, replaced by the little gray owl that Sirius had given him.
It jumped up and down in a small cage, chirping all the time.
"Shut up, piglet!" Ron said as he squeezed between two beds.
There were a total of five beds in the room, and it was cramped.
"Charlie and Bill are back, so Fred and George are staying here too!" He said to Elwyn and Harry, "Percy insisted on taking up a room all by himself because he has to work."
"Percy seems to like working, huh?" Harry sat down on one of the beds.
He looked up at the posters on the ceiling, where the Chadri Artillery were whizzing around.
"He likes it?!" Ron said in a depressed tone. "If Dad doesn't drag him back, he won't go home at all. He's a workaholic. You mustn't get him to talk about their boss. Mr. Crouch thinks so. I told Mr. Crouch that, and Mr. Crouch thinks so. Mr. Crouch told me that they will officially announce his employment at any time now. "
"Let's not talk about Percy. Elwyn, how was your vacation?" Ginny asked. "You suddenly disappeared at the end of last semester, and I was worried. There were rumors about you being seriously injured everywhere in the school."
"Don't worry, I'm fine now."
"Speaking of this matter, the three of us were almost driven crazy!" Ron added. "After you and Sirius left, everyone knew that you had an accident while you were on an adventure with us. They took turns asking for information related to this matter."
Elwyn knew that Ron wanted to ask about his experience during the summer vacation, and whether he had obtained the half of the Sorcerer's Stone.
However, it was obviously unwise to talk about this in front of Ginny.
Whether it was the Sorcerer's Stone left by Gryffindor, the Fallen Horses, the Lord Voldemort, or the Evil God, it was not suitable for others to know.
Elwyn had to keep it a secret. He didn't even tell Harry everything, and only told Hermione the whole thing.
"As you know, I went to France during the vacation. Dumbledore took us to Bubbarton Magic Academy to find his old friend, Nico Lemour. He helped me solve all the problems." Elwyn said briefly.
Then, he began to tell Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny about his experience in France.
"This is really good. I also want to go to Bubbarton!" Ron said enviously. "This is really an unforgettable adventure. The locations of all the magic academies are kept secret. Except for the students there, it is difficult for outsiders to enter them."
"As long as I am not with the Muggle, I can go anywhere!" Harry sighed and continued, "Before the World Cup, I want to see Sirius. I don't know how he is now."
"My father said that we will go see him tomorrow." Ron said as if he remembered something. "Oh, right. Elwyn, the Sorcerer's Stone left by Gryffindor."
"I think they are probably done arguing." Hermione suddenly stood up.
She saw Ginny looking curiously at Ron, and then at Elwyn.
Obviously, she knew what was left by Gryffindor that Ron had mentioned!
In order to cover up this moment of embarrassment, Hermione hurriedly said, "Let's go down and help your mother prepare dinner, okay?"
"Okay." Ginny nodded and said.
The five of them left the room one by one. Elwyn deliberately stayed at the back. He gently pulled Hermione.
"Hermione, I want to talk to you!" Elwyn looked into Hermione's eyes. "It's about Weasley's magic tricks."
Hermione stared at Elwyn for a while. Under Elwyn's unflinching gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"We really need to talk about the use of the newspaper's income and your assistance to Fred and George's research." Hermione tried to speak in a normal tone. "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tonight. I want to see your performance before I consider whether to forgive you or not!"
Elwyn was stunned. He was not sure what Hermione meant.
Hermione was obviously angry now. How should he perform to satisfy her?!
When they returned downstairs, they found Lady Weasley busy in the kitchen alone. She was in an extremely bad mood.
She glared at Elwyn. She was still upset about Weasley's magic tricks.
