Chapter 319 317. The Burrow No. 3
Green flames enveloped Jon, and after he felt his feet hanging in the air, he touched the ground again the next second.
Before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, a somewhat noisy voice reached his ears.
"Hurry up Charlie! Put away the kitchen first, the guests are here!"
"Stuff here! Fred! Don't open your boxes, I don't want to see those weird things get angry!"
"Wipe your hands, Molly, they've got mashed potatoes on them."
"Oh, sorry, I got a little too excited."
"Hey, how do I feel like my mother is welcoming her real biological son."
The surrounding green flames dissipated, and Jon finally saw the whole picture of the space he was in.
This is a relatively large living room, but the furnishings around it look a bit old.
The wooden floor full of gaps and nicks, the chest of drawers full of various needlework, fabrics and prints, the dilapidated chandelier suspended from the ceiling by a hemp rope, pulled to the center of the living room, covered with faded floral tablecloths long table.
The first impression here is obviously only abjection, but it is full of the atmosphere of compact family life.
Standing directly in front of Jon was a middle-aged couple.
The man has very thin red hair, with a bald patch on it, is tall and thin, wears glasses, and wears a dark brown robe.
The woman's hair is also red, she is not tall and fat, she is wearing an apron with some mashed potatoes on her body, and she has a warm smile on her face.
"Hello, Mr and Mrs Weasley."
Jon greeted them politely.
Ron's mother, Molly, did not respond first, but pulled Jon over and dragged him out of the fireplace. Immediately afterwards, Hermione and Gabriel suddenly appeared where Jon was standing just now. The danger of two people colliding together is prevented.
"Oh, good boy, hello, when Ron came back for Christmas in the first grade, he told me that he had made a friend like you, and I asked him to invite you to our house during the summer vacation, but later I heard that Dumbledore Lido has assigned you a special task."
She showed great enthusiasm, whether it was for Jon, or even for Hermione and Gabriel later.
"And you, Hermione, haven't you forgotten me? We met in the Hogwarts carriage last September, and you were holding a copy of "Standard Spells: Level Four" to guide us. Lu. Gabriel, I also know about you, when Ginny was at home on vacation, she often talked about you to me, and she always said that she wanted to invite you to be a guest."
Hermione and Gabriel both had flattered expressions.
They were grabbed by Molly and came to sit on the sofa, while Ron's father Arthur helped Jon get his suitcase.
"This is not the first time we have met, Jon." He smiled and blinked at Jon, "It was also last year, when Dumbledore handed over the entire Hogwarts students to you When I was there, I was in the crowd."
Jon patted the ash on the robe.
"Ha, yes, to be honest, when I saw Dumbledore put such a burden on you, I didn't agree with it in my heart. After all, no matter how talented you are, you are still only thirteen years old. Such responsibilities lie on your shoulders. On you, I thought you might not be able to bear it, but the facts are enough to prove that I was thinking too much."
"I just had a little bit more luck."
"The things you do can't be done by luck."
Arthur patted him on the shoulder, and at the same time introduced him to the last member of the Weasley family that Jon hadn't known yet.
"This is my second son, Charlie, who is also working in the Order of the Phoenix."
Charlie has a broad face that looks like a nice guy at first glance. His face is covered with freckles, and his skin is a bit bronzed. There are obviously bulging muscles on his arms, and he is very strong at first glance.
When he saw Jon, a smile appeared on his face, and at the same time he stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Jon."
Jon also reached out and held his hand together.
"Nice to meet you."
With Bill coming out of the fireplace at the end, the whole Weasley family is here.
Hmm. It was the Weasley family after Percy was expelled. Obviously no one in the Weasley family wanted to mention Percy. The third son of their family has completely betrayed Dumbledore. Voldemort used his identity to make a lot of articles, including slandering Jon and framing Dumbledore's character. Judging from public reports, he is also very cooperative, and he doesn't seem to be forced at all.
Even in school, if anyone saw the news about Percy in the newspaper, they would avoid Ron and the others to prevent their mood from being affected.
Jon and the others obviously came earlier. Dinner was not ready yet. Hearing the movement in front of the fireplace, Molly rushed out of the kitchen to greet her in a hurry, before taking off her apron.
Greeting George and the others to entertain Jon and Hermione, Molly hurried back to the kitchen. Arthur and Charlie also obviously had something to do. They were tidying up the living room to make it spacious enough for dinner later. Some.
As soon as they got home, Ginny grabbed Gabriel and went to her room excitedly, as if she was anxious to show her something, the Weasley twins greeted Jon and Hermione, Also mysteriously hid in their room with their suitcases in their arms. After they came back from Durmstrang, they started to tinker with some weird things, as if they got it from a school famous for black magic. What an inspiration.
Ron took Jon and Hermione to visit Weasley's temporary home in France.
"Actually, this place is completely copied from our old home in the UK, because my mother said that this will make everyone get used to it. But you know, our family was not very rich before, and moving twice is not a small sum of money. , but Professor Dumbledore pays his parents, Bill and Charlie, a lot of salary every year, although his father has never wanted to accept this money. He feels that he is in the Order of the Phoenix to help Dumbledore, not a job. But Dumbledore talked him into letting him accept the payment."
Ron first took them out and walked around the yard outside.
This is a wasteland next to a Muggle town not far from Lyon. There are almost no people here. The surrounding area is obviously just reclaimed. There are many flowers planted beside the fence, and there is a vegetable field behind the house.
Hermione stared at the three-story building named Burrow No. 3 by the Weasleys, and asked suspiciously.
"Why is this house built crookedly?"
Ron shrugged.
"As I told you, it was built exactly after my old house, the Burrow we first lived in. To be honest, such dwellings were a disgrace among the old English wizards, because we The family is really not rich. Although Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, he doesn’t get much money a month, not to mention that he has to support so many people in our family. I was young at that time, but I was very impressed.”
He said this without the slightest shyness, as if he didn't mind talking about his family's downfall to Jon and the others.
