Just then, the door to Elwyn and Hermione's room was pushed open again.
Lady Weasley walked in with a smile on her face and a pile of freshly washed clothes in her arms.
"Oh my God, I can't believe it. I heard from Arthur that he sent an owl here. What just happened, this is really great news!" she said excitedly, her body trembling slightly. "How could they do this? I heard that Dumbledore fought hard for the board to agree. Mileva will be here soon to announce it, and we should celebrate tonight. I never thought … "
"Oh!" Fred said in annoyance, his right hand covering his eyes weakly. "I knew it would be like this."
"Even Professor Meg is coming?" George said, his voice filled with surprise. "I know it's incredible, but isn't this too much? Charlie, Bill and Percy didn't enjoy this kind of treatment."
"This is different. After all, this hasn't happened for many years. Anyone who hears it will feel magical and incredible, "Lady Weasley said, putting the clothes on the bed. "Arthur told me that the last time this happened was three centuries ago, when..."
They blinked their eyes. What was Lady Weasley talking about?
They thought she was talking about Ron becoming a prefect, but it didn't sound like it.
Instead, she talked about a wizard from more than three hundred years ago, and something about being specially approved by the board of Hogwarts...
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Fred said. "I don't understand."
"I'm too excited. After all, this is great news. No, no, I can't tell you this news for now. At least, it shouldn't be me. After all, Mileva hasn't come yet, so it's not certain yet. Anyway, let her announce it, "Lady Weasley said.
She took a deep breath. It was obvious that she was trying hard to control her desire to tell them.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity. This didn't happen often to Lady Weasley. This meant that the news she knew was really exciting, and it was great news. That was why she acted like this.
"Could it be that Hogwarts is going to hold another Triwizard Tournament?" Fred guessed.
"Maybe it's a similar competition. I'm seventeen this time, and I must be a warrior," George said.
"What are you guys talking about? This competition is held once every five years, and with the incident that happened last year, I reckon that the reopening of the Top Three Tournament might be postponed indefinitely!" Hermione said. "Besides, now is not the time to hold this kind of exchange activity."
She also looked at Lady Weasley curiously, but the other party obviously wanted to keep this secret.
This kind of situation was the most torturous. He said a little and aroused everyone's curiosity, but he refused to say what it was. He could only let the few of them guess blindly. What was Dumbledore planning to do? What was going to happen to Hogwarts?
Elwyn blinked. This time, even he had no clue.
"I can't say. You'll know tonight. After all, today is the last day of school. Right, I should prepare more food. Everyone should come to celebrate tonight. " Lady Weasley said. Even her voice was trembling. She tried to divide the clothes in her hands into three piles. "Okay, Ginny said the book list is finally here. If you give me the book list, I'll go to Diagon Alley this afternoon to buy the books for you. You can stay at home and pack your luggage. Hermione, do you need anything in particular? "
"Thank you. The last time I went to Diagon Alley with Elwyn, I already bought all of them!" Hermione said.
Her little face turned red again. She remembered the scene of her and Elwyn buying underwear, and what they did in Diagon Alley …
"Oh!" Lady Weasley continued, "Ron, I want to buy you another set of pajamas. This one is shorter by at least six inches. I can't believe how you grow so fast. What color do you want?"
"I'll buy him red and gold to match his badge." George said with a smirk.
Although he did not know what Lady Weasley was talking about, she obviously did not know that Ron had become a prefect.
"Match his what?" Lady Weasley said absentmindedly. She was still thinking about the things in her heart. She rolled up a pair of maroon socks and placed them on top of Ron's pile of clothes.
"His badge!" Fred said. His expression showed that it was better to get the pain over with than to prolong it. He said everything in one breath, "His cute, brand new, shiny prefect badge."
Lady Weasley was still thinking about other things. It took her a while to understand Fred's words.
"His … But, Ron, you're not …?"
Ron raised his badge, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
Lady Weasley let out a scream, just like Hermione.
"I can't believe it, I really can't believe it! How is this possible? This is even more shocking than the previous news. How could they do this! "Lady Weasley burst into tears." Oh, Ron, this is great! Prefect, everyone in the family is a prefect! "
"What are Fred and me? Next door neighbors? "George said indignantly.
His mother pushed him aside and threw her arms around her youngest son.
"Your father will be so happy to hear about it. I'm so proud of you. What wonderful news. This is the first step. You'll be like Bill and Percy …" She paused and then said quickly, "I've had so many things to worry about lately. I didn't expect to have two pieces of great news. I'm so excited. Oh, Ronnie!"
Fred and George were both retching loudly behind Lady Weasley, but Lady Weasley didn't notice.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Ron's neck and kissed him left and right. Ron's face was so red that it glowed brighter than his badge.
"Mom, don't, don't do this! Mom, control yourself! "he murmured, trying desperately to push her away.
Lady Weasley let go of him and said, panting, "Well, what do you want? I bought it for you when I went to Diagon Alley this afternoon. We gave Percy an owl, but of course you already have one. "
"What … what did you say?" said Ron, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
