Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Hermione arrived at the Burrow, the Weisles family discussed taking the children to Diagon Alley to buy the things they needed to start school.
This year, the youngest Weisles girl was also going to enroll in school. For the Weisles family, this was not a small expense.
Molly had been calculating in the account book for a long time, but the family never had enough money.
"I think,
I don't need a new robe. "Ginny looked at her notice again during breakfast.
"It doesn't say that new students have to wear new clothes to school, does it?"
The only two non-members of the Weisles family at the table, Harry and Hermione, looked at each other and did not speak.
Ron was also eating.
He put his notice on the side.
Looking at the long list of books, he said, "... Gidro Lockhart... Gidro Lockhart... Another Gidro Lockhart. The new Defense Against Black Magic teacher must be his admirer. Maybe she is a witch!"
Hermione put jam on her bread and said casually, "Actually, I heard from Professor Mcgonagall that the new Defense Against Black Magic teacher is the new Defense Against Black Magic teacher.
Our new teacher for Defense Against Black Magic is Lockhart... "
"You heard from Professor Mcgonagall?" Ron was shocked.
"When did you meet Professor Mcgonagall?"
Harry was deeply worried about his brother. Sure enough, Hermione raised her eyebrows and said, "Magic Address Book, Ronald.
Ronald, I think you must have torn out my page in your address book. "
Ron blushed.
He wanted to change the topic.
"Hey,
If you ask me, these books aren't cheap, are they? " Ron looked at Mrs. Weisles's face and carefully added, "Maybe I can share a set of books with Fred and the rest."
Fred and George, who rarely spoke in the morning, looked at each other quickly. Harry read a mischievous smile on their faces. Then the two brothers took out a money bag from under the table.
"Hey, Mom, I think..."
"We don't want to share a set of textbooks with Ron..."
"And we don't want to read the cold jokes he wrote in the blank corner..."
"So..."
"Go and buy some new textbooks for us..."
"And Ginny's new robe..."
Mrs. Weasley looked at the purse that Fred and George were holding out, but did not take it. Instead, she cried out in surprise to the two brothers, "Frege! Jord Translation Where did you get the money?! "
Perhaps realizing that her words might hurt her two sons, Mrs. Weasley quickly covered her mouth. She then stood up and hugged Fred and George respectively before grabbing the two boys' hands. "You … You …"
The two boys, who were now half a head taller than their mother, patted Mrs. Weasley's back in amusement and laughed. "Heh heh, Mother, we didn't do anything that might cause Father to lose his job — probably not, right? Oh, we just did a little business. By the way, speaking of which... "
Fred grinned at Harry. "Harry, we still have your bonus!"
My share? Harry blinked and saw Hermione hand over a small money bag.
"Oh, Min?" Harry roughly knew why the twins and Hermione were so busy this summer, but there was still something he didn't understand. "How did you sell your products?"
During the holidays, Fred and George couldn't advertise in the four hospitals, nor could they go door-to-door to sell their products.
Hermione looked very happy. After all, she had a part to play in this. "Address book! Harry, we've built a sales network out of the address books we've sold, although it's not perfect. Also, the twins found... "
Hermione's words were interrupted by Mrs. Weisles's voice. She hugged the twins excitedly and kissed them a lot. The twins kept asking Mr. Weisles for help, but Mr. Weisles just laughed and ate his bread.
After calming down a little, Mrs. Weisles sat back down at the table and returned the money bag to the twins.
Seeing the twins' confusion, Mrs. Weisles smiled and said, "This is the fruit of your labor, dear. You're not old enough to support a family yet." The twins wanted to say something, but Mrs. Weisles continued, "But since you can take care of your textbooks, I can buy Ginny a new gown."
Mrs. Weisles meant that the twins' income was for their own use. Mr. Weisles obviously agreed with his wife's decision. He patted Fred on the shoulder and said, "Maybe you can save enough money before graduation to joke around..." Frightened, George quickly interrupted his father with a laugh. The two brothers' little thoughts were barely heard by Molly.
In any case, the twins' efforts during the summer had alleviated another financial crisis for the Weisles family. Ginny and Ron didn't seem to need second-hand textbooks anymore, but Ginny still whispered to Harry, "... I really don't need a new gown. Maybe mom will be willing to put the money into my bicycle project?"
After breakfast, they put on their coats and stood in front of the kitchen fireplace, ready to set off. Suddenly, Mr. Weisles frowned and pulled Mrs. Weisles to look at the window. Harry and the others also went over in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
Percy, who was taller, had already seen it. "Is it from Lovegood's house?"
Ginny suddenly became nervous. "What's going on at Luna's house?"
Harry also saw the black smoke coming from Lovegood's house in the distance.
Mr. Weisles didn't have time to take the kids shopping. He pressed his wife's shoulder and walked out with a serious face. "I have to go see the Xenophilius family..." Seeing that Ginny and Harry wanted to follow him, Mr. Weisles quickly shook his head. "You guys stay here..."
"No!" Ginny was anxious to see Luna. Harry didn't say anything, but he was also a little anxious.
Mr. Weisles stomped his feet and didn't bother the kids anymore. He turned and opened the door, just in time to see Kamia and Luna's Phantom teleporting to the front of the shack. "Mrs. Lovegood..."
Seeing that Kamia was in a mess, Molly hurried forward to help her up. The kids surrounded Luna and asked what had happened.
Luna was still holding Tommy in her arms. It was unclear whether he was scared out of his wits or not. Luna's hair was a little messy, but she was in a good state. Kamia, on the other hand, was in a mess. There was black dust on her clothes and face, and she looked a little emotional.
"Molly..." Kamia leaned on Mrs. Weisles's arm and gasped. "Xie Nuo is still at home..."
Weisles immediately used his Phantom. Everyone crowded Kamia and Luna into the house and sat down. Molly asked them to drink tea first. When Kamia looked calm, she held her hand and asked what had happened.
Kamia slowly shook her head. "I don't know what happened... I only know that Xie Nuo's studio was on fire. He rushed upstairs and asked me to take Luna and Tommy away. I wanted to pull him out, but he pushed me away..." Kamia paused for a moment. "He had to go into the fire to save something."
Mrs. Weisles didn't ask any more questions. She just let the tired Kamia wash her face and go to the bedroom to rest. When she turned back, she saw Ginny standing there holding Luna's hand. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Luna. "Poor child... Where's little Tommy?"
Little Tommy was being held by Harry. Hermione was anxiously wondering why she wasn't crying. "... Is she scared out of her wits?"
Tommy was speechless.
Harry was speechless.
Luna calmly walked over and poked Tommy's chubby little face. She explained to Hermione, "Tommy never cries." She would only howl when Kamia bullied her.
Children in the magic world are amazing! Hermione sighed.
Seeing that the children were fine, Molly was a little relieved. She got up and went to the bedroom to accompany Kamia.
Ginny saw that everyone was playing with little Tommy, so she gently squeezed Luna's hand. Luna understood and quietly left the crowd. Then, the two of them went to the backyard together. Ginny didn't say anything. She nimbly climbed up their tree. Luna followed. She was as agile as Ginny.
"Humph, they also said that I'm a naughty child!" Ginny looked at Luna defiantly.
Luna chuckled indifferently. "They also said that I'm a little crazy."
The two of them laughed side by side for a while. Then, Ginny spoke again. She rambled on about what happened at the dining table this morning. "... They almost exposed their big plan. I guess even if mom is happy that the twins can make money, she won't want them to open a joke shop. But if you ask me, if they don't open a joke shop, what can they do? I can't imagine Fred and George wearing business suits and walking around with a straight face like Percy... "
"Ginny." Luna spoke without warning. Ginny cooperatively shut her mouth and listened to Luna.
"My dad..." Luna didn't look at Ginny. Instead, she looked into the distance through the leaves. She looked at the plains, the Otter River, and somewhere even more empty. "He pushed Kamia away and ran into the fire. He was going to save something... Ginny, he was going to save those 'Singing Different Songs'... Ginny, did I tell you that my mom used to write many stories?"
Ginny didn't answer. She heard voices in the house. She looked down. It seemed that Arthur had brought Xenophilius over.
Molly rushed out first. "Arthur! Oh, Merlin! "
Mr. Weisles pushed the battered Xenophilius onto the sofa. Harry saw that half of his cotton candy-like white hair was burnt, and there were burns on his hands. His exposed skin was covered in black smoke.
Molly had already fetched water for Mr. Weisles and Xenophilius to wash their faces first.
Mr. Weisles wrung the towel and sighed. "It's almost burnt out..."
Xenophilius held the towel in a daze. After a while, he suddenly stood up, startling Mrs. Weisles. "Where's Kamia?"
"She's resting in the bedroom. Poor girl, she just gave birth..."
Xenophilius immediately dropped the towel and went to look for Kamia. Mrs. Weisles hurried after him and shouted, "She's on the first floor!"
Harry watched as the door slammed shut. He silently retreated to the back with Tommy in his arms. He whispered to Hermione, "Hermione, Mr. Lovegood's studio must have been burnt out."
"Yeah..." Hermione nodded and then looked at Harry warily.
