Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 467 Goodbye
"Breathe slowly, exhale - MacGuffin!"

"Breathe—"

Although McGuffin has been able to cast the spell [Apparition] and has experienced this way of moving more than once, he is still a little uncomfortable.

He felt as if he had passed through a narrow glass passage, and his whole body was squeezed so hard.

After every shuttle, I have difficulty breathing and my head is dizzy.

After several seconds, he realized that he had arrived at the living room of [The Burrow], being supported by Mr. Weasley, and Ron next to him looked at him with concern.

"It's okay, it's just the sequelae of [Apparition]... This is what happens when you use this magic for a long distance. After you learn it, you will get used to it after using it a few times." Percy sat in front of the clean wooden table. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he was holding a copy of "International Daily Wizard" and pretending to read it.

Beside him stood two older red-haired wizards.

McGuffin recognized Charlie and Bill, the eldest Weasley children.

The two of them were pulling Harry to say hello and introducing each other to each other.

At this time, Ron and the twins also leaned over, and they asked happily, "McGuffin, what did you give that fat Dudley in the end... a potion that turned into some kind of toad? It was the slug potion that old bat Snape talked about last year."

Mr. Weasley who came with him immediately straightened his face and stared at McGuffin.

"It's just a diet pill, really!"

"Why? Those guys treat Harry like that... Don't you also know that Harry has been unable to eat because of that idiot weight loss package, you should know this situation, didn't you send Harry a birthday cake by mail?" Ron asked wonderingly.

"That's why I did this. This weight loss medicine can suppress the appetite of fat people and consume extra calories... Stimulate the rapid burning of calories in the body through weak magic power... Make the body fat decrease rapidly... And it is not always effective. The small bottle of medicine can only last for half a month to a month. When he finishes experiencing the effect, he has to buy the next medicine."

"In this way, Harry's life will be easier in the future... After those Muggles use the potion I provided, they shouldn't reject magic, right?"

"Also...it doesn't matter if you fail. At most, it's just that idiot's diarrhea for a few days. It can be regarded as an outlet for Harry. It also allows that guy to lose weight in this way, and it can also accumulate some experimental data for me... After all, I plan to sell this thing in the wizarding world."

"What's more... Muggle money is money!"

After McGuffin finished speaking, there was silence, and everyone stared at him with complicated eyes.

"I understand why you, MacGuffin, are able to make a fortune!" Bill, who worked at Gringotts, laughed. He fiddled with the scallop earrings on his ears, and made a conclusion, enlivening the originally silent atmosphere around him.

Bill Weasley is a cool guy.Tall, with long hair in a ponytail, he doesn't look like someone working for a stuffy business like Gringotts, but looks like a non-mainstream Muggle artist.

However, judging from his pair of valuable dragon leather boots, we can also know that he is the richest person in the Weasley family and the one who pursues the quality of life the most.

"You bastard!" George's eyes glowed, staring at McGuffin excitedly.

"Why didn't we come up with such a good idea? McGuffin, you must give us an idea, look at our products... how can we sell them quickly and at a high price! Ah, that's right!"

"George! We were too busy watching the McGuffin show...forgot to try the fat tongue taffy on that fat pig!" Fred said, taking out a handful of colorful candies from his pocket.

Everyone in front of him except Harry laughed.

But the twins seemed so carried away that they completely forgot that Mr. Weasley had come with McGuffin.

"what!"

"Fred, George, what do you want!" he cried. "This is no joke!"

"I won't say much about McGuffin's potion...it sounds like he has a sense of proportion, but your things...do you really want your mother to know?"

"What do I know!"

There was a sound outside the door, and Mrs. Weasley just walked into the kitchen.

Everyone shook their heads immediately, and Mr. Weasley didn't dare to continue talking.

"nothing?"

While Mr. Weasley was stammering and explaining to Mrs. Weasley, Ron grabbed Harry and McGuffin,

"Let's go! It's about to start again!"

"What started?" Harry was very puzzled, but he followed Harry obediently towards the door.And Charlie and Bill... even Percy sneaked out.

"Stop you two!" Mrs. Weasley yelled, waving her wand directly to petrify the twins, then walked past her and picked up a candy with a green wrapper from the ground.

Mrs. Weasley's eyebrows were furrowed.

"What's the matter? Hasn't all this stuff been confiscated? What's the matter? Arthur Weasley!" The roar roared, and the pots and pans on the closet kept vibrating, as if they were trembling.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ron quickened two steps, and directly pulled McGuffin and the others out of the kitchen and out of the courtyard.

The two girls, Hermione and Ron's sister, Ginny, were out basking in the sun, and Hermione was watching a goblin carefully, looking very interested in the thing.

There was also a big fluffy, chubby black dog lying at their feet. Seeing Harry coming out... it barked with great joy, and trotted over.

"Merlin! Xiaotian... Padfoot!"

Harry happily bent down and hugged the big black dog.

"How did Padfoot come about?" Harry asked.

Red-haired Ginny blushed and said, "Papa brought it, he said Professor Snape asked him to take care of it for a few days!"

Charlie also looked at Padfoot with interest and said, "I heard from Hagrid that he gave this dog to Professor Snape! When did the relationship between them become so good?"

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying roar came from the kitchen of [The Burrow].

The glass on all sides trembled twice.

There seems to be a vague - Weasley's magic trick - a few words floated together -

"What's going on? What is Weasley's magic trick?" Harry stood up and asked strangely.

Ron, Ginny, and even Luna laughed, except Hermione.

A hearty laugh came from behind them, explaining directly to Harry.

"That's Fred and George's big money-making scheme! I knew about it when I was tutoring them at Hogwarts, but I didn't expect them to be so big..."

The speaker was Charlie Weasley.

Charlie grinned as he and Bill pulled an impatient Percy closer.

Charlie Weasley was stout, like two twins, much stronger than Percy and Ron, who were like bean sprouts, and studied to deal with dragons in Romania... This dangerous exercise made him full of tendons.Working in the field also made him dark-skinned, and his broad face was weather-beaten like an honest man. In comparison...he seemed much older than Bill and Percy beside him.

"That's right, their plan was pretty good at first, and now they are saving some products during the summer vacation...then go back to school this year to sell and accumulate the first principal... I really didn't expect so many people to want their stuff... so many orders!"

Ron drew a stack with exaggerated gestures with both hands.

"They re-copied dozens of copies of those long price lists for Hogwarts students...they are full of funny, prank-invented things...you also know those [powerful stinking big dung eggs], [magic candy], [fake wands]...[Screaming Fart King] and the like. It's so interesting, great...McGuffin, can you make the same thing!" He stared at McGuffin with sparkling eyes.

"Ron!" Hermione screamed angrily.

"What's wrong!"

"These things are forbidden by Hogwarts school rules!" Hermione said with a serious face.

"It's just Filch's blacklist, no one takes it seriously!" Although Ron said this, it was obvious that his voice was much softer.

"Those things should be very dangerous. I often hear the sound of explosions in their room-that should be they are making those things... And the last time Mom was cleaning Fred and George's room, didn't it be because she accidentally crushed a [Potent Big Dung Egg]... so all of us in the family had to live in the magic tent that Dad brought back from the Ministry of Magic?"

"I seem to remember something like this happened when you were in the first grade, right? ——The big dung incident? Ron, don't you remember?" Ginny seemed to remember something... She asked about the unbearable incident between Hermione and McGuffin.

"Eno--"

McGuffin, Hermione, Harry, and Ron glanced at each other, all of them looked a little unhappy.

Ron immediately made a haha, wanting to change the subject.

"Yes, George and Fred's things are indeed a bit dangerous, and they really haven't learned their lesson... They still have those [powerful big dung eggs]... After they almost blew up the house last time, my mother found out about their plan, searched their bedroom, and found those price lists and order sheets... She was really mad. Because George and Fred's OWLs were unexpectedly good, and my mother always hoped that they would be able to pass the NEWTs exams like Percy... Finally, in Gringotts Or get a job at the Ministry of Magic."

Ron tried to bring the conversation back to Percy, because he knew—

Sure enough, Percy's originally impatient expression immediately became quite complacent. He took over the conversation and said, "It's not easy to find a job in the Ministry of Magic!...But even if those two guys do pass the highest-level wizard certificate, it will be very difficult to get into the Ministry of Magic...especially the Department of Law."

As he said that, the guy straightened his chest, and the nameplate of the Department of Law of the Ministry of Magic on his chest was shining again.

"Wow! Percy... I don't know you have become a regular employee, when will they pay you?" Ron said with a smile.

Percy's face turned pink.

"Three months!" he said viciously, "you can laugh at me, Ron! This is the opportunity most people dream of...to enter the Law Division of the Ministry of Magic..."

"—is the first step to becoming the Minister of Magic!" Ron and Bill added, shouting together.

Everyone present, even honest people like Charlie and Hermione laughed together.

It seems that everyone knows about Percy Weasley's ambitions.

This made Percy a little bit embarrassed, his face was so red and he was so angry that he could fry an egg.

"Laugh, laugh, Ron...you just laugh! My current job in the Ministry of Magic is extremely important, you don't understand at all! Werewolves are the biggest security hole in the wizarding world. They are easily exploited by dark wizards if they are not controlled, and they are easy to attack wizards and Muggles...When I complete this task, this will change the world. Some people in the world...at least the werewolves will remember my name."

"And what do you know? You know that at the Quidditch World Cup... Minister Fudge will hold a private meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Magic of other countries... Will this house shake the world? Do you know that Hogwarts may hold a large-scale event this semester that has never been seen in the world?"

"You don't know!? This is top secret... Bill, Charlie, you certainly don't know... Gringotts and Dragon Tamer are good, but they can't be compared with the work of the Department of Law!"

After finishing his harsh words, Percy waved his wand angrily and disappeared in place.

"It seems that we are really angry with him!" Ron looked at the place where Percy disappeared with some concern, and said to Bill beside him.

"It's okay, he should have gone back to his room to write the report on the [Werewolf Management Regulations]...Percy, he takes his job too seriously! If Dad didn't bring him back...he wouldn't come home at all, he would almost live in his job." Bill comforted.

"Well! I know...Percy is learning from his immediate boss...everything is Mr. Crouch...Mr. Crouch says that...Mr. Crouch thinks that...Mr Crouch does that..." Ginny said.

"Isn't it? I remember that Crouch is not from the International Law Department!" McGuffin asked suspiciously, he hadn't heard such news.

"Oh, Crouch temporarily acted as the head of the Department of Law of the Ministry of Magic... It was not officially admitted, but everyone knew that it was a firm fact." Ron said seriously.

"Is that workaholic? I hope Percy won't be influenced by him... I heard that Crouch doesn't have any feelings... He locked his son in Azkaban with his own hands!" Charlie said sadly.

After hearing the word Azkaban, Harry's expression turned a little ugly. He secretly glanced at the big black dog Sirius Black lying beside him.

At this time, Hermione's brown cat Crookshanks with a big face was chasing the goblin from the other side of the yard, and charged straight over, and that big face directly hit the black dog's fur.

It took the big cat a long time to shake itself awake—it made a sharp and unpleasant cry.

It seemed that it recognized this fat black dog as its familiar 'dog'.

So this big-faced cat will lie on Black's body...and hold on to him, and keep licking the long and thick black fur of Padfoot, and even put its face close to Black's 'tail'.

This terrified Blake.

He hastily shook Crookshanks down, then jumped over and pulled Harry Ron's trouser legs, his eyes full of earnestness——

—Get this cat away!
Crookshanks meowed aggrievedly and came over to rub Hermione's ankle.

Charlie watched this scene with great interest, "These two animals are really interesting, much smarter than ordinary cats and dogs...especially the dog's eyes look like people."

This made Hermione, Harry, and the others very nervous, and they gave each other winks,

Hermione scratched Crookshanks' chin, let it purr comfortably, and hurriedly took it aside, threw the goblins in her hand, and let it continue to chase those goblins.

And McGuffin also took this opportunity to say, "By the way, Harry, let's take Padfoot to exercise over there! Look how fat it is!"

"Oh, that's right. Let's go over there and have a look! Harry!" Hermione also responded and said in agreement.

"Are you coming?" Ron asked Ginny with some doubts, Charlie and the others.

Hermione gave the fool a dark look.

Fortunately, Ginny and the others shook their heads and did not follow.

So McGuffin, Harry and the others walked away from [The Burrow]... where Charlie and the others could not be seen.

Harry looked around, then said,
"Nobody! Blake!"

Sirius roused himself, and under a big tree with lush branches, he returned to his original shape.

Harry's godfather, chubby hero, and a new-look Blake - is back.
