Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 72 The Burrow

Hermione's home also didn't have a fireplace, so when Mr. Weasley arrived he had to demolish it again.After a fire suddenly ignited on a wall in Hermione's house, Mr. Weasley brought the Weasley brothers who insisted on following him to Hermione's house. They were stuck in the wall and Mr. Weasley had to He took the Weasley brothers out without blowing up the wall.

However, since Mr. Weasley said hello to the Ministry of Magic's Transportation Department and opened the floo network, when he used magic to blow up the walls of Hermione's house, Hermione's traces also reacted, but there was no abuse of magic by the Ministry of Magic. The people from the department issued a warning notice.

Perhaps the Ministry of Magic staff are well aware of the flaws and shortcomings of Trace Silk, but they have no intention of improving this spell.The world is fair. If the traces are modified without authorization, the spell may become more powerful, but the self-protection mechanism of the traces, that is, the chances of being cracked may increase.

Just like program code, more program code will make the program more complete and have more functions, but it also requires writing more protection codes to protect the security of the program.If you are not greedy enough, you may end up losing more than you gain.

Similarly, no matter how perfect the trace silk is, and the monitoring becomes more perfect, it also means that the privacy of these children who have the trace silk will be invaded.Are the Jin Yiwei in history really unpardonable?No, the evil deeds they did may not be as good as those sanctimonious literary landowners.

Their greatest evil is not how many literati they have persecuted, nor how many evil things they have done, but the privacy of officials and literati!

It started with Jin Yiwei, but it did not end with Jin Yiwei.From the notorious Central Military Command to today's paparazzi, and even private detectives who are legitimate and legal professions, they cannot avoid being ostracized and disgusted by the public.

I still remember a story on the Internet about a veteran lockpicking thief who changed his ways and became a good and peaceful person after he was released from prison.But in an accident, after he unlocked the door for his begging neighbor, other people not only did not appreciate his kindness, but became wary of him because of his superb unlocking skills.

"Clean up!" After making Hermione's house a mess with dust everywhere, Arthur Weasley quickly apologized to Hermione and used a cleaning spell to clean up Hermione's house.

"How did you get here?" Maple asked first.

"Floo powder is very convenient! As long as you connect the fireplace to the Floo network, and with the help of Floo powder, you can use flames to shuttle between all the fireplaces connected to the Floo network!" Mr. Weasley explained. Afterwards, Mr. Weasley looked around Hermione's house curiously. As rumored, he was very interested in Muggle affairs.

Other pure-blood wizards thought this was embarrassing, and even Mr. Weasley's family did not approve of his hobby. However, Maple, who was born as a Muggle, felt that Mr. Weasley's performance was commendable.However, it must be said that his method of understanding the Muggle world was not quite right, which resulted in his understanding of the Muggle world being only one-sided and half-understood.

"Is the fireplace also connected to Diagon Alley?" Maple asked again.

"Yes, Diagon Alley has a dedicated fireplace connected to the Floo network." When Mr. Weasley said this, even Hermione couldn't help but exclaimed "That's great."

"By the way, Mr. Weasley, can this Floo Network be used by people like Hermione's parents who don't understand magic?" Maple asked again.

"Of course, Floo powder's magic has already achieved the ability to shuttle and move, and there is no need to apply magic, so Muggles can also use it." Mr. Weasley said.

"That would be great, Hermione. If this place can be transformed into a fireplace and then connected to the Floo network, if there is any danger, uncles and aunts can take refuge at Ron's house from here at any time!" Maple said .

"Danger, what danger could my parents be in?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"Hermione, you won't forget what happened last semester so quickly! Harry directly encountered Voldemort who wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone and resurrect him. Since Voldemort is not completely dead, then we can find a way to kill him completely. Before, he would definitely find a way to make a comeback. Once he comes back, not only will our world be in danger, but even your parents' world will not be able to stay away!" Maple reminded.

Hermione understood Maple's thoughts instantly and looked at him with gratitude, but at the same time she was a little annoyed in her heart, why she hadn't thought of this.Perhaps it was because she had no real confrontation with Voldemort that she could not imagine the true horror of Voldemort.

"Mysterious man? What happened?" Arthur Weasley only heard the rumored version, but did not know the details.With the virtue of Minister of Magic Faugina, even if Dumbledore told the story of Voldemort's appearance, he would not let the news spread.Similarly, most wizards in the magical world, who have enjoyed a rare peace, also deceive themselves and do not want to believe that Voldemort appears again.

When Mr. Weasley opened his mouth, Maple also told him in detail all the process of robbing the Sorcerer's Stone.

"But don't worry for the time being. Voldemort is very weak now and has no body. He can only regain his magic power with the help of other wizards!" Maple said, seemingly to comfort him, but in fact he was reminding Mr. Weasley——

Many of Voldemort's former subordinates were alive and well. If no measures were taken against them, each of them might become a time bomb, allowing Voldemort to poison the wizarding world again.

"Fred, what are you looking for? If I want to hide something, I won't let you find it casually like this!" Maple said to the Weasley brothers who were looking around Hermione's house.

"Oh, then where would you hide your things?" The person who spoke was not the Weasley brothers who should be most interested in this, but Hermione.

"The low-level ones are safe rooms, and the intermediate ones are to make a hole in the wall or floor, hide things inside, then restore the walls and floors to their original state, and then use tables and chairs to block them or cover them with carpets. It seems foolproof, as long as Knock on the wall carefully and step on the floor. The sound produced when you hit the hollow space is different from the solid wall."

"Wow, your attention is great. How did you come up with all this?" Brother Weasley said with admiration.

"It's very simple. If you read more novels about the Muggle world, especially detective novels, you will easily come up with these tips." When Maple said this, he suddenly thought of something again and said to Hermione: "People There are joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. Novels originate from life, but are higher than life. Hermione, I think you can also collect some novels to read. Although they are not as good as your own personal experience, they can make people feel better. You see more aspects of life in a short period of time. Don't just look at the plot and the quality of the characters, analyze the characters and experiences, and feel their helplessness, pain and struggle, which will give you more insights. , improve one’s spiritual realm.”

"George, come and look here!" Hermione and Mr. Weasley were both thinking. Maple said that the tricks of hiding things were to remind Mr. Weasley to use them to catch Malfoy.Because Harry and Ron had used Polyjuice Potion to trick Draco out of it, the Dark Arts items in their home were hidden in the floorboards under the carpet.At this moment, Fred didn't know what he saw, and suddenly he called George over as excitedly as if he had discovered a new world.

"Look here, there is a note——"

Fred said, picked up the note and read it: "I accidentally saw in your daughter some special talents that belong to people like us. As your daughter's future classmate, I will give this book as a small gift." Give it to her, let her know about our world in advance!"

"Who wrote this?"

"The writing is very sloppy. It looks like it was written with the left hand. The handwriting is unrecognizable."

"But this can't be hidden from us," the Weasley brothers said at the same time with a smirk on their faces.

"Who can come up with this idea,"

"Who else but Maple?"

"Aha, it turns out that our Maple has been eyeing Hermione before school started!" Looking at the bright smiles on the faces of the Weasley brothers, Maple really wanted to find a thread to sew their mouths together immediately.

"Maple, it's you!" Hermione, who was even more embarrassed by what the Weasley brothers said, her face flushed red, gritted her teeth in embarrassment and glared at Maple.

"Okay, kids, stop making trouble. Now that the Floo network is connected, let's invite Maple and Hermione to our home first!"

"Okay, how do you use this floo network?" Seeing Mr. Weasley helping to rescue the siege, Maple immediately agreed and quickly changed the subject.

Mr. Weasley waved his wand, igniting a flame in the blasted hole in the wall, then took out a small bag of shiny powder Floo powder and said to the Weasley brothers: "You guys show me first!"

Fred picked up a pinch of Floo powder, walked over and sprinkled the shiny powder onto the flames.The yellow flames suddenly turned into green, and quickly rose up, becoming taller than Fred.Fred walked into the fire, called "The Burrow" and disappeared before Maple and the others in the blink of an eye.

"You must clearly state the name of the place you are going to, otherwise you may go to the wrong furnace door!" Mr. Weasley said, then holding the bag of floo powder and asked: "Which of you will come first?"

"I'll do it!" Maple said impatiently, grabbing a handful of Floo powder and throwing it into the flames like Fred did, and then shouted while everyone was stunned: "Diagon Alley!"

Maple suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to buy some potion ingredients when she went home, so she could practice the potions in Snape's notes that she had not yet made.He bought several portions of each potion, as well as several portions of the various ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion.

In addition, Maple also bought dragon blood and some blood from other magical creatures. He wanted to try all of them to see which creature's blood was most suitable for making talismans.

Dragon skin was too expensive, and it could still be used to erase the original traces of magic, so he bought some cheap stuff.

After buying a whole bag of Floo powder here, Maple found that her money bag was almost empty.

The money comes easily, and Maple spends it faster. The money left in his pocket is not enough for him to buy a set of second-grade textbooks and wizard robes!

How about going to Hogsmeade again, sneaking into the school through the secret passage, and catching a few Acromantulas to make up for the loss!

We will consider this matter later. After finishing her shopping, Maple took the Floo powder back to the fireplace in Diagon Alley——

"The Burrow!"

"Welcome to our home, Maple!"
