Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 9 The Weasleys

"Thank you, McGuffin. Actually, I didn't do anything, mainly Percy..." Ron helped McGuffin hold the stack of books, large and small, with the automatic poker in his pocket, his ears were red, and he expressed his gratitude for the incoherent words.

"This ... Nothing, I want ... not ... call me." McGafen was so tired that he took a while for a while, and finally leaned on the wall outside the Florer's cold drink shop to rest for a while, and then said, "With your brother ... let me find that Percy is in that bookstore, Lesfenley will not be exposed by Percy. I may be deceived ... The gifts we first met. This is actually some old things.

At his current age and physique, holding such a large pile of books is almost like being tortured.

"worn out!"

When the McGuffins found Fred and George, their arms were already shaking.

The twin brothers of the Weasley family were playing and joking with a black boy with dirty braids. In the magic store, looking at the items on the shelves (mainly big dung eggs, laborious fireworks and other funny magic items), the three of them were drooling.

The twins looked at each other, to the boy.

"plum……"

"Sorry, guys, this is non-negotiable. I'm saving land money today, but I want to buy that super scary, eight-legged, fluffy South African marsupial spider with huge eyes."

Lee Jordan spread his hands and interrupted what the two were about to say.

"It's the South African poisonous spider you mentioned at the beginning. We thought you were joking. Wow, this is really—!"

"Like!"

Almost instantly, the twins forgot about the funny magic item they coveted just now, and they were discussing loudly that they were about to go to Diagon Alley's Magical Zoo with Lee Jordan to see the big spider.

Turning around, when they were about to go out, they saw Ron and McGuffin standing at the side of the store door and looking at them, with two tall stacks of old books under their feet.

"Wow, Ron, you little brat, what the hell did you do?"

"Don't, little brother, our family can't afford to lose this person, and we can't have another student council president like Bill!"

The twins pretended to be surprised and came to the McGuffins.

"Shut up, it's a MacGuffin book," said Ron.

"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, you are such a person, it seems that you do not belong to our Gryffindor. Tsk tsk." The twins stared at McGuffin with wide eyes and made strange noises.

"This is Lee." The twins introduced Lee Jordan to the two.

"Ah! Dude, are you going to open the library to your home?" Lee Jordan came over and took a breath, and then introduced himself, "My name is Lee Jordan."

"McGuffin Albert!"

"Ron Weasley!"

After the twin brothers introduced Lee Jordan to McGuffin and Ron, they had to help them find Mr. Weasley and Mr. Longman with the pile of books.

On the way, McGuffin gave Fred and George the gift he had bought - the book "How to Funny Your Friends".

"Ah, the book you bought is great! It's very interesting! Job, I'm very optimistic about you, I was wrong just now! You must be a Gryffindor cub. When you arrive at Hogwarts, follow us and help you find the joy of 'learning life',..."

"Yeah, will help you find every secret passage there. Whether you're wandering at night or going to the kitchen for a late-night snack, you can find your way out, just like returning to your own home..."

After receiving the gift, the twin brothers winked at McGuffin and made fun of each other, and they quickly became acquainted with each other.

The four chatted and laughed and held a pile of books. They first took the new robes that McGuffin had placed in Madam Malkin's robe shop, and finally found Mr. Weasley and Mr. Longman outside the changing ink stationery shop.

Langman stood in front of the new cauldron, which contained books and stationery, a pair of wizard chess pieces (McGuffin was delighted, this is exactly what he wanted) and other things on the notice, and there were some magical snacks on it that seemed to be chocolate frogs, Mars lollipops and so on.

And Mr. Longman he's holding a - plug?
A few people came to the front and found that Mr. Longman was repeatedly telling Mr. Weasley about the plug and socket?

However, my lord father!Where did you get the plug?McGuffin screamed in his heart.

"It's wonderful! Muggles are geniuses! How could they come up with such a thing!" Mr. Weasley sighed from time to time.

"Mr. Longman!"

"Mr. Weasley!"

The lively discussion between the two was interrupted when McGuffin and the Weasley children came over to say hello.

"McGuffin, who is this?" Langman looked hesitantly at his son who bought a lot of tattered and yellowed books.

"I want to know what's going on in the wizarding world? I bought some second-hand books to read." McGuffin argued.

Weasley smiled and stroked McGuffin's hair, saying: "Don't be nervous, almost all Hogwarts students start from scratch, even children from magical families were rarely allowed to perform magic when they were young."

"There is a reason why Hogwarts sets the age of enrolling students at 11 years old: the magic power of little wizards at this age will have enough stability and strength, they can learn to master their own magic power, and they can also start to learn how to cast spells with magic, and the little wizards who are 11 years after Hogwarts is 7 years old also have the fastest magic power improvement."

Mr. Weasley explained to a few people how Hogwarts relied on a mysterious tower to select talented young wizards: the four founders used magic to create the [Book of Admission] and [Pen of Acceptance] to select children with magical abilities from all over the UK, and every year on July 7, the vice-principal in charge of admissions at Hogwarts will check the [Book of Acceptance] and send an owl message to every child who is 24 years old. In addition, children from Muggle families will also have Hogwarts. Professionals come to explain.

"McGuffin, you don't need to worry. Hogwarts basically won't have any complicated spells in your first year. You'll have a good time at Hogwarts, and you'll understand when the time comes. But the ones you bought—such as the two "Encyclopedia of Medieval Magic" and "Selected Spells of the Eighteenth Century" are not only beyond your age limit, but also very outdated. Although some of the spells can be used, they seem too rough and complicated now, and you probably won't be able to understand them for a long time to come."

Just as Mr. Weasley wanted to look through the books McGuffin bought, for example. (McGuffin raised his heart nervously, fearing that the two books related to [Occlumency] would be discovered.)
A gust of black wind blew across Diagon Alley, and the sky suddenly fell. The robes of all the wizards on the street were almost blown up by the wind.

It had begun to rain, pea-sized drops falling on the street, wetting the cobbled streets in patches.And depending on the situation, there is a good chance that it will turn into a storm.

A group of people hurried towards the Leaky Cauldron.

……

They went through the wall, and the Leaky Cauldron was full of wizards hiding from the rain.

In the Leaky Cauldron, McGuffin kept away from Mr. Weasley under the pretext of asking Percy to give him a gift, and thus avoided the risk of exposing the two [Occlumency] books to other wizards.

When he found Percy, he was taking off his new robe, holding his wand very distressed, carefully using magic to eliminate the splashed rainwater.

After McGuffin gave him the old book "The Throne of Power: From Prefect to Minister of Magic" that he saw in the second-hand bookstore, and thanked him for his words-to save himself from being deceived by the second-hand shop owner, he did not expect to see Percy short of breath and put the book into his arms with a flushed face.

He put on the robe again, straightened his waist and said, "That matter?...then...you don't need to thank me, I am the prefect of Hogwarts, and it is my responsibility to take care of you freshmen."

McGuffin found him puffing out his chest, emphatically displaying the shiny silver 'P' (prefect's initial) embroidered on his new robes before him.
