Chapter 354 Gathering at the Humble Residence

Harry didn't know what kind of mentality George and Fred had when they took the candy.

He only knew that the twins had the same dull expression on their faces, and they put the toffee into their pockets.

And they threw crazy eyes at Harry.

Man, why did your cousin say something different to you? Didn't he say that he stole your cake before and was turned into a pig's tail by Hagrid?

Harry didn't know how to explain, so he could only hug the twin brothers and let them go downstairs in a hurry, and whispered:

"I'll explain to you when we get to the Burrow."

Then he turned around, took out two boxes of candy from his bag, and stuffed them into Dudley's hands:

"Ziz Bee Candy, Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans, please eat!"

Dudley looked at the candy in his hand blankly, opened his mouth, and wanted to say that he had quit sugar, but Harry patted his shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and then hurried downstairs.

In the living room on the first floor, Mr. Weasley had already cleaned the living room and was shouting happily:

"Children, are you ready?"

Dudley hurriedly stuffed the candy into his pocket and watched curiously as Arthur pulled out his wand.

"Flames are blazing!"

Flames immediately jumped up in the fireplace, crackling and burning vigorously, as if they had been burning for several hours.

Mr. Weasley took out a small velvet bag with a drawstring from his pocket, opened it, pinched a little powder from it and threw it into the fire. The flames immediately turned green and the flames jumped higher than before.

"Who's first? Fred, you go first!"

He nodded at Fred.

Dudley watched intently, as if he wanted to remember every step.

He watched Fred walk straight into the flames, and the green flames burned around him, but it seemed to have lost its temperature and did not hurt him at all.

Fred waved to everyone and said, "The Burrow!"

With a whoosh, Fred disappeared.

"All right, George," said Mr. Weasley. "You're second!"

Harry and George carried the box toward the flames, and then stood it up so George could hold it more steadily.

Then George shouted, "The Burrow!" and with another whoosh, he was gone.

"Ron, it's your turn," said Mr. Weasley.

"Goodbye," said Ron cheerfully to the Dursleys.

He smiled at Harry, stepped into the fire, shouted, "The Burrow!" and then disappeared.

Only Harry and Mr. Weasley remained.

Harry was silent for a while and said, "Okay, goodbye, Aunt Petunia."

Penny nodded and moved her lips twice, and she could vaguely hear, "Goodbye."

He looked at Dudley again, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward with open arms, hugging Dudley in Petunia's surprised eyes:

"Goodbye, Brother D. By the way, you look so cool when you return the candy to Fred."

Harry took a step back and walked into the fire:

"The Burrow!"

Harry had just walked out of the living room when Fred and George grabbed his arm.

They whispered eagerly in Harry's ear:

"Dude, tell me, why is your cousin different from what we thought?"

"Uh, it's complicated. Wait, tell me first, what is it?"

"Fat Tongue Toffee!" Fred sighed, "George and I invented it. We have been looking for someone to try it all summer..."

Harry was suddenly glad that Dudley didn't eat it. He shrugged and could only say:

"Dudley has changed a lot. I think Uncle Vernon's departure has hit him hard. As you can see, he is like a completely different person.

By the way, Dudley and I have reconciled, a real reconciliation.

So don't tease him next time."

Harry thought about it and suddenly laughed, "Actually, Dudley is pretty good like this, really."

Fred and George sighed together, not knowing whether it was disappointment or something else.

Harry looked around and saw Ron sitting at a clean wooden table with two red-haired people next to him.

He had seen these two people before. Last year, they spent an unforgettable Christmas together at Zhang's house.

"Bill, Charlie!" he shouted in surprise.

"How are you, Harry?"

Charlie, the closest to Harry among the two brothers, grinned and stretched out his big hand to shake hands with Harry. Harry could clearly feel the calluses on his hand.

Bill stood up, smiled, and shook hands with Harry. He was still so cool, with his hair tied into a ponytail and small earrings full of personality.

They chatted enthusiastically and exchanged interesting stories of the year. Bill and Charlie also secretly told Harry that they had decided to join the Order of the Phoenix and do what they could for Dumbledore.

Bill's main task was to act as an eyeliner in Egypt, because Dumbledore was a little worried that Voldemort would go to Egypt to find some "ancient magic" to enhance his power.

Although the ancient times were not necessarily stronger than the present, there were indeed some powerful things that had been lost. At least those weird curses, many of which had no solution.

Charlie also has a mission. The world's largest number of two-winged fire dragons live in the protected area of ​​Romania. Although this powerful creature is unruly and extremely difficult to control.

But Dumbledore also knew that some cruel and insidious black magic methods could control them 'limitedly'.

"Bang -" a slight crackling sound came, and Mr. Weasley's figure appeared in the kitchen.

He looked flushed and in high spirits. Harry could clearly see a small piece of something sticking out of Mr. Weasley's pocket. It was a flashlight. It seemed that Dudley had given the unused flashlight to Mr. Weasley.

He clapped his hands and shouted loudly:

"Guys, time is limited!

Get moving and don’t forget the mission your mother has given you!

Bill, Charlie, go buy the items on the menu, Fred George, take Ron to decorate the garden, tables, chairs, tablecloths, tableware——

By the way, don't let the goblins make trouble, and if there are any weeds, remove the weeds! "

Harry hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Mr. Weasley, I want to help too!"

Arthur hesitated for a while, asking guests to help was not the way to treat guests, but seeing Harry's determined look, he quickly compromised: "Okay, Harry, then you follow Ron."

The Weasley brothers stood up from the table and walked outside while chatting and laughing. Harry followed a few people to the garden, and then he remembered and asked:

"By the way Ron, where's Mrs. Weasley?"

"Oh - don't mention it, mate." Ron sighed, looking like he was complaining, but Harry always felt that he was quite proud.

"Remember Christmas? That time at Zhang's house? He invited mom to be the general manager of the house elf labor company."

Harry nodded.

"Since then, my mother has changed. She has to dress more formally than my father every day, devotes herself to her career, and is so busy every day. Now we can only eat casually.

She always said the elves were still training.

But her income—"

Ron's voice lowered and he whispered: "Twice as good as dad!"

"Wow!" Harry couldn't help but exclaimed.

"But there's a bonus, man. Even though mom is very busy, all my stuff is new, man! Brand new school uniforms, and dress robes—"

Ron's eyes shone brightly, and he murmured with longing:

"My mom even considered giving me a broom for Christmas. Oh my God, this would be great. My own broom that I can fly whenever I want!"

"That's so cool Ron!" Harry couldn't help but get excited. He held Ron's arm and shook it vigorously: "When the time comes, we will train together, and the team will soon have someone available!

I know your strength and you will definitely be selected for the team. "

The two little wizards cheered each other excitedly, looking forward to the days of flying together in the sky.

By the time they came back to their senses, the garden was almost completely decorated. Two long tables were joined together, covered with white tablecloths, and the tableware was neatly placed on them.

Glittering under the lights, with vats of butterbeer placed aside, it looked like a sumptuous banquet.

Bill and Charlie were back, and they were watching Fred and George control the benches to collide in the air, trying to knock each other out of the sky.

Harry was a little embarrassed, but Ron was obviously used to it. For them who could use magic, it was really easy.

"Where's Sirius? Don't you want to watch the World Cup?"

"Come here, he's a little busy right now. He should be here later, right? After all, we agreed last time to meet at the Burrow."

At this moment, a loud shout came from the garden gate:

"Harry, Harry!"

They stood up, and Sirius stood in the distance with his hands open, looking at them with a smile on his face.

Sirius's arrival seemed to be a signal, and Mrs. Weasley returned soon after, taking Hermione with her.

The clever little witch went directly to 12 Grimmauld Place and asked Mrs. Weasley to take her with her.

This way she doesn't have to go back and forth on the bus, she just has to Disapparate with Mrs. Weasley.

After a while, Malfoy landed on a broomstick wearing a full flight suit. Harry and Ron's eyes were red with envy.

They whispered that this was illegal, but looking at their looks, it was clear that they wanted to do this if they had the chance.

When a crisp cry came from the sky, and the swooping peregrine falcon turned over and turned into Zhang Xiao's figure and slowly fell down, the atmosphere reached a climax.

(The ground on the country road is uneven, and the Ferrari chassis cannot be driven in)
