harry potter book of crimes

Fred and George were a pair of very kind brothers. Although they were often noisy, when someone needed help, they would definitely come forward - in their own way."

"And they always have many ways to make people feel better. Living with them will definitely make you very happy."

After a period of conversation, Hermione finally had a preliminary impression of the two sisters.

To be honest, neither sister Ashley, who seems to be very quiet, nor sister Mary, who is cheerful and loves to laugh, are far less open-minded than Fred and George.

At first contact, most people can't figure out how they chose Fred and George, the twins, and marched towards marriage in one fell swoop.

But it can still be heard from their words that both girls like the Weasley brothers very much, and even seem to be a little dependent on them.

Of course, as a friend she had just met, Hermione knew that she shouldn't act too hastily yet. If she wanted to get to know these two girls more deeply, she had to do it step by step so as not to appear too abrupt.

"Yeah?"

Hermione raised her head and cooperated with the Witch of Blois Castle behind her who was applying smooth hair spray to her, and smiled softly:

"The Weasley family are very warm and kind-hearted people. When they see others suffering, they will always help each other. Just like a friend of mine, Harry Potter, who lost his life since he was a child.

He lost his parents, and Mrs. Weasley has always treated him as her own son - they are really a good family."

"Yes!" Luna, who was looking around at a pair of earrings, nodded immediately after hearing this, "I would come here occasionally when I was a kid, and Mrs. Weasley would always give me delicious apple pie - yes

Well, my home is on a hillside not far from here, you can also visit me in the future!"

"Oh, can we go there?" Mary said happily when she heard this, "Great, I have always wanted to have the experience of going to a friend's house. I think Ashley thinks so too, right?"

"Um!"

Her sister Ashley, who was sitting next to her, immediately nodded gently.

After Luna heard this, she put the earrings back into the small box, then turned around and said with a smile:

"You're very welcome! I can make Gordig root tea for you, and we can also go together to look for large-mouthed ball fish under the bridge in the back mountain - they are different from ordinary freshwater ball fish.

It's a bit dangerous for swimmers!"

"Oh, that sounds rare?"

Ashley blinked in understanding, but her sister Mary said happily:

"Although we don't seem to have the kind of fish you mentioned in the United States, it must be interesting!"

Seeing that both sisters were surrounded by Luna, Hermione shook her head helplessly.

"There are freshwater fishes, but no one has ever seen the big-mouthed fish..." As she was talking, she noticed that Luna seemed to want to argue, but she had no choice but to continue, "Of course, I miss them."

It must be hidden somewhere! Well, the important thing is the process of finding it together, right?"

Seeing Luna nodding her head with some satisfaction, Hermione couldn't help but sigh. But to be honest, she and Luna had been together for so long, and they were already used to these inconsequential compromises.

"Anyway," Hermione added, "We can go somewhere together, anywhere. There are many interesting places in the British wizarding world - of course, it must be after today!"

"Well, no problem!" Mary said, "Fred told me that after the wedding, we can stay here for a few more days, and then go back to the United States with them."

"Do you want to go back to the United States?" Hermione couldn't help but wonder after hearing what she said, "Isn't it great here? We...ah! Are we worried about our parents?"

"There may be some reasons for this!" Mary thought for a while and said, "But mainly because Fred and George want to open a magic joke goods store in Plymouth Colony in the United States, and they seem to come back this time to find someone.

I borrowed money from a friend..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly covered her mouth and said:

"Oh! I forgot that this seems to be forbidden?"

The Plymouth settlement she was talking about was a colonial settlement established by the English in Massachusetts in the 17th century, very close to Mount Greylock, which is also located in the state.

It was there that the four founders of Ilvermorny met and established the largest wizarding school in the United States on the top of Mount Greylock.

If compared to Hogwarts, Plymouth Colony is probably equivalent to Hogsmeade, which is slightly farther away but larger in scale!

However, although Hermione knew these past events, the key point of what Mary said did not seem to be here.

"Borrow money?" She was taken aback for a moment, "Didn't they come back just to get married?"

Realizing that they had let something slip, they knew it was definitely too late to change their words now, but Mary and Ashley still hurriedly waved their hands and said:

"Of course, getting married is also a very important thing..."

"Ah -" Hermione raised her head in confusion and said, "Don't tell me that Fred and George didn't even think of marrying you, but it was only because of this incident that... Well, as far as they are concerned,

, it’s really possible!”

Seeing her thinking like this, Sister Olson hurriedly said:

"No, it's not! We have actually thought of getting married for a long time, but we originally just wanted to have a small wedding secretly in the United States - in fact, like Fred and the others, we don't pay much attention to ceremonies.

type."

Ashley also took over the conversation and said:

"Yes! As long as we can be together forever."

"Fortunately, you spilled the beans on Luna and I," Hermione said weakly, "Remember, you can't mention this in front of Mrs. Weasley, but Fred and George will

It’s life-threatening!"

At this moment, Luna next to her seemed to have finally found a chance to interrupt. She hurriedly came over and said curiously:

"Who do Fred and George want to borrow money from? In the past two years, our copy of "The Quibbler" has been selling well. I can try to borrow some from Dad?"

Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pull Luna back, looked at her speechlessly and said:

"Who else can I turn to? Apart from Harry, it's Maka. They are the only ones who have a lot of spare money... But this is really rare. The idea of ​​opening a store was originally thought of by Fred and George before they graduated, but

Didn't I see them borrowing money when I left? Why now..."

After all, no one in the Weasley family looks like they would ask anyone to borrow money.

Not only that, with their temperament that they would rather starve themselves than trouble others, generally speaking, they would never open that mouth for the rest of their lives.

If you want to think about this kind of character trait, you can understand it just by looking at Ron.

He is the most typical kind of person who has Harry and Maka as friends, but would rather be short of money than tell him. In the end, Maka had to get a gold cauldron as a birthday gift for him.

If I have to say it, it’s even a bit too pretentious!

But after hearing Hermione's question, Ashley and Mary both shook their heads.

"I don't know about that..." Mary said, turning her head to look at her sister and said, "Have you ever heard George say that?"

...

When Maka and Neville came down from upstairs, it was already close to noon. Except for some people who had important things to do, the other guests at today's wedding had already arrived at the Burrow early.

As soon as she walked out of the house, Maka immediately saw that neat chairs had been lined up on both sides of the long carpet between the tent and the burrow. When the wedding was about to begin, everyone would sit down according to their respective seats, and

Waiting for the wedding ceremony to officially start.

Of course, before that, everyone was still in free movement mode.

Speaking of which, events like this, where a large number of distinguished guests gather, usually naturally form a lively social occasion.

As soon as Maka came out, she saw that several well-known wizards all over Britain and even Europe had gathered around them.

Blois Castle also sent people over. Since Willie's father would not be able to leave the castle at will in the near future, the person who came to watch the ceremony in his place was naturally the old butler of the Blois family.

As the old steward of the first wizarding family in France, more people know him than Mr. Blois, so there are quite a lot of people around him at the moment.

Seeing that several old acquaintances were still busy, Maka simply didn't go over to say hello, but went straight to the barbecue grill next to the tent.

"Let's fill our stomachs first!" He said to Neville as he walked, "Remember, don't tell others what happened just now...it was a surprise."

"Ah, of course!" Neville nodded immediately, "But...how long will it take to catch up with the wedding?"

"I think it's okay," Maka said immediately, "This is Fred and George's wedding. I've already worked very hard, so how can he not work hard? You think so?"

The two of them whispered, and quickly came to Charlie, who was waving his wand to flip the meat slices and vegetables. As soon as Maka arrived, he immediately waved to summon a plate and put it directly to the other person's hand.

"Give me a piece of meat first... To be honest, I'm really hungry!"

"Oh, Maka?" Charlie said with a hearty smile, "Are you so hungry? Are you going to fight the fire dragon?"

Ron's brother also just came back today - he originally worked as a fire dragon protection agent and didn't get a few days off a year. Although he was able to take leave freely, it was difficult for him to leave those baby dragons behind because he liked fire dragons very much.

Rest for too long.

"You just fought the fire dragon!" Maka looked at the new burns on his arms and said with a cheerful smile. (To be continued)
