Harry's life in The Burrow was like a fish in water, from when he got up in the morning to when he went to bed at night.
The smirk on his face never faded. In The Burrow, he didn't need to cook for his family.
He didn't need to cut baskets of magic potions for anyone, except for the garden goblins, which could be called pets.
There were no cute but scary little Rabbis that he needed to take care of.
All Harry needed to do every day when he got up was to eat a lot of food prepared by Mrs. Weisles and play to his heart's content!
Harry was now living in a bedroom with his good brother Ron.
Although the room was very narrow and messy,
There was hardly enough space for two half-grown boys, they still didn't want to separate. How interesting it was to lie together and play cards and chat before going to bed every day! The twins lived opposite them.
Every day, Harry could hear strange blasting sounds coming from the stubborn door.
Then, Mrs. Weisles' roar would come from downstairs. There was an empty room next to theirs. In theory, this room belonged to Percy.
But because Sanyan couldn't stand the twins' "energy" (Percy: I told you! I'm having a nervous breakdown!), Percy moved to Charlie's old room on the third floor.
After all, Charlie and Bill rarely came back to The Burrow. Except for Percy, on the third floor,
Ginny, Harry's crazy fan, also lived there.
And Ginny's good friend, Luna.
Harry didn't know much about Ginny — or rather, very little. For him, Ginny was his good brother's little sister. She had beautiful red hair, was keen on writing letters to her brothers, and was lively and active. During these days in The Burrow, as long as Ginny was there, Harry could hardly not hear her laughter. In fact, this made Harry a little absent-minded. He looked at Ginny, who was competing with Luna in the backyard, and felt that the other Ginny, who blushed and smiled quietly, was really far away from him.
Ginny, who was covered in mud, was finally called back by Mrs. Weisles. "Look at your shoes, Ginevra! Don't play in the mud in the backyard. You two little girls, go out for a walk, run, or jump rope. " Seeing Harry standing by the window in a daze, Molly thought for a moment, wiped her hands clean, took out a candy box from the cupboard, grabbed a handful of muggle coins from the box and handed them to Ginny, "Take Harry out for a walk. You can buy popsicles in town too."
The twins were sent by Molly early in the morning to tidy up the warehouse, and the two brothers took Ron with them. So now only Harry was in the living room, helping to sweep the floor and wipe the table.
Ginny was happy to go out for a walk. She took the coins from Molly and pulled Harry and Luna out the door, "Thank you, mom. I promise to take good care of Harry."
"This child …" Molly quickly followed to the door and said, "Don't mess around!"
After leaving the house, the three of them went to the back of the warehouse to take a look at the twins and Ron, who were sweating profusely. The three teenagers were trying to sweep out the large number of muggle items that Mr. Weisles had stored. Harry clearly saw a muggle car hidden behind a pile of junk.
Ginny pulled Harry and whispered with a smile, "Don't tell anyone, or my dad will be fired."
"I promise." In fact, I really want to drive it.
Luna tilted her head and said inexplicably, "I have an airship, Li."
The three of them were quickly spotted by the sharp-eyed Fred. The teenager wiped his sweat, put a stack of muggle magazines into a cardboard box, and shouted at them, "Want to come and help?"
"No way!" Ginny smiled evilly and shook the small money bag. "Mom asked me to take Harry and Luna to town to play."
"Oh no …" Ron wailed and threw a muggle lamp to the ground. "Harry, you can't do this to me!"
Harry sympathized with Ron. He waved at his good friend affectionately and said, "I'll bring you ice cream."
"You're still the best to me …" Ron wiped his tears and said, "You're indeed my best friend … But … won't it melt when you bring it back?"
But Harry had already slipped away with the two girls.
The Burrow was located to the south of Ottery St. Catchpole. It was separated from the other villagers by the Otter River, the woods, and the plains. Most of the muggles had never interacted with the Weisles. After all, the closest house to the Burrow was Lovegood's house, which was also a valley away, not to mention the other houses.
Ginny skipped ahead and led the way while explaining to Harry, "When the Weisles' ancestors built the house here, they certainly didn't think about social life. But to be honest, there's nothing fun in the village. Ron, Fred, George, and I all like to sneak into the town to play, although we'll be beaten by mom when we come back … Harry, do you know those muggle toys? "
Harry thought that if it weren't for Ginny's incessant chatter, the journey across the plains would be too boring. "What toys? Barbie dolls? "
"Dolls? No, no, it's like this … There are two circles … "
Ginny gestured for a long time and even found a branch to draw an abstract diagram on the grass for Harry to see. Harry pondered for a moment and clapped his hands. "A bicycle!"
"Ah, yes, a bicycle!" Ginny's eyes shone with excitement. "I want a bicycle! My desire for a bicycle is second only to Harry Potter! "
"I'm deeply honored …" Harry tried hard to control his embarrassment.
"But now I've got Harry Potter, so …" Ginny patted Harry's shoulder. "A bicycle is the first."
"No, you didn't get me …" Harry wanted to bend forward in frustration. Could it be that Ginny had been hanging out with Luna for a long time and had indirectly infected Kamia's language skills?
Luna lightly interjected, "Ginny, my family really has an airship …"
Although the wizarding world had floo powder, shapeshifting, and each generation of flying brooms that were stronger than the previous generation, Ginny and Weisles wanted a bicycle the most. Harry thought about it for a while and felt that it was understandable. In such comfortable weather with a slight breeze, if he wanted to go on a relatively long trip, floo powder and Shadow Shift would definitely not work. The flying broom would also be dangerous, and he would not be able to enjoy the scenery along the way. On top of that, walking would make him as tired as he was now. After thinking about it, the bicycle was more suitable.
Although he didn't want to admit that his physical fitness was not as good as the two girls, Harry still held his knees and asked to stop and rest for a while. So the three of them sat on the grass by the river and chatted for a while.
The Otter River shone in the sun. The three children in short-sleeved shirts and shorts were all hot from the sun, but the breeze made them not want to move. Harry casually pulled a leaf from a wild plant next to him, put it in his mouth and blew it. After several tries, he finally made a strange sound, which made Ginny laugh.
"That's not how you play." Ginny laughed and pulled a leaf, put it in her mouth and gently blew it. Although it was only a few simple notes, it was obviously much better than Harry's.
Harry tried a few more times and found that he still couldn't make a sound, so he gave up and listened carefully to Ginny's solo.
The girl didn't seem to know much. She played the same tune repeatedly, like a line in a song, but also like a song with only one line.
"Which song is it?" Harry felt that he had heard this song before.
Ginny put down the leaf and threw it into the golden river. She giggled and said, "I don't know. It should be a song, but I only know this one line. The old ghoul taught me."
"Ghoul?" Harry was stunned.
Ginny stretched and said casually, "Yes, the ghoul in my attic. He's a very interesting old man, but he's really not loyal. He actually ran away from home without a word …"
Although she was complaining, Harry could see that Ginny was sad about the old ghoul's departure.
"That old ghoul … What kind of person is he?" Harry felt that this question was too strange.
Ginny thought seriously for a while before answering, "I don't know. He's been living in my attic since I was born, but I only started talking to him a few years ago. The old man doesn't know how to talk, and he only likes to listen to me. If I didn't force him to come out and bask in the sun, I wouldn't even know that he can play this …"
Drag a ghoul out to bask in the sun … Ginny, you can do it …
After chatting with the river for a while, everyone felt that they had rested enough. Ginny hopped on her feet and urged them to continue. "Let's go, let's go to town and buy some popsicles ~"
After resting, the journey wasn't that far. The three of them entered the town in one go. Ginny almost cheered as she ran to the nearest convenience store. She took out a small bag of money, counted it, and handed it to the shopkeeper. She then turned around and asked, "What flavor do you want? If you ask me, the lemon flavor is the best! "
In the end, Luna asked for a salt-water popsicle, and Harry asked for a cola flavor.
Harry had muggle coins on him, and wanted to be the host, but Ginny refused righteously. "Mom will scold me!" So Harry had to give up.
In fact, the town was not much more prosperous than the village. Compared to the busy London, the town was still in the undeveloped era. It was like a stubborn old man lying in a rocking chair, clinging to the radio and refusing to accept the internet. There were not even many tire tracks left on the road.
Ginny excitedly pulled Harry and pointed to him. "That's the bike!"
It was a fat boy passing by on a children's bike. He was probably dissatisfied with the two auxiliary wheels next to the rear wheel, and after being pointed out by Ginny, he couldn't help but blush. He gave Harry and the other two a middle finger.
Ginny also gave him a sincere middle finger. The fat boy took a deep breath and rode away.
Harry noticed the weird look of the granny next to them and quickly pulled Ginny's hand back. "Hey, don't be like that!"
"Huh? Why? "Ginny looked at Harry with a puzzled face.
Harry facepalmed. "Do you know what this means?"
"Isn't this the muggles' gesture to say 'you're awesome'?" Ginny said matter-of-factly.
"… Who taught you?"
