HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter 68 The Burrow

As soon as they got out of the kitchen door, Fred George approached Ann immediately, while Mr. Weasley and Aaron walked in the front and started chatting about the Ministry of Magic.

"Ann, we invented a new thing over the summer..." Fred laughed, pulling a handful of candy from his pocket.

George said happily, "I invented it with him. Tongue taffy. Someone just tried it. Did you hear that? The tongue is swollen for more than four feet!"

"Who did you test with?"

"Harry's cousin, we just went to pick up Harry's aunt..." said Fred.

Ron and Harry listened to the whisper behind the three of them, and Bill and Charlie had gone out into the yard.

As soon as they reached the stairs, two girls appeared in everyone's sight, they were Hermione and Ginny.

After greeting each other, Aaron and Mr. Weasley chatted and went out.

Ann didn't expect Hermione to be at Weasley's too, and started talking about him, "Well, maybe we should help out in the yard too?"

"Ann, Bill and the others will definitely fix it. Tell me, what's going on?" Ron asked the question that he had held back for a long time.

Speaking of this, Ann couldn't help but glared at Fred George.But the two brothers laughed very cheekily and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"Well, what do you all know?" An said helplessly.

Ron said briskly, "Mum was cleaning Fred and George's room last week and found a stack of order sheets and long pages of price lists for all their inventions. Funny stuff , a lot of interesting things, and a box of money!" Ron gestured with his hand, "It's so big, it's full of gold Galleons and silver Sickles, I dare say our family doesn't even have that much savings!"

"We've been hearing explosions in their rooms for a long time, but never thought they were actually working on something," Ginny interjected. "We thought they just liked the sound."

"Then Mum called them up and had a big fight. Mum wanted them to work in the Ministry of Magic, like Dad, but they told her they just wanted to open a joke shop. Then you wrote After sending a letter, Fred and George explained to their parents that it was your investment. At first, my mother didn't believe it, but then your uncle wrote another letter, and the two of them had a better life."

Fred and George nodded aside, agreeing with Ron's statement.

After hearing this, Ann turned to Fred and George, and said in a low voice, "You guys already said that you want to joke about the store? Didn't you agree that it's just a research thing at this stage?"

Fred George shrugged almost at the same time, with the same voice, "She was going to throw away all our things, so we said so!"

"So, Ann, you were really involved in the two of their joke shops?" Hermione asked.

"Basically that's it, I just like what Fred George is making and invest a little bit in..."

"That's a small sum? That's a box full of money!" Ron said exaggeratedly, "I bet Mom didn't sleep well that night, and she put the money away early the next morning." Saved to Gringotts!"

"Ann, when did you invest?" Hermione asked.

"Well, at the beginning of third year, they kept asking me questions about the Muggle world. That's when it started."

"Ann, have you come here this time, have you figured out how to solve this problem?" George asked.

"Your OWLs failed her too, and she's still mad," Ginny said.

At this moment, a door on the platform on the second floor opened, and a man walked out, wearing horn-rimmed glasses, with a very impatient expression.

"Hi, Percy," Harry said, glancing at the man.

"Oh, hello, Harry," said Percy, "I don't know who's making the noise. I'm working here and I've got a report for the office to rush, but someone keeps shouting Talking makes it hard for me to concentrate."

"Oh, we didn't speak loudly. If this kind of volume disturbs the top secret work of the Ministry of Magic, then I'm really sorry!" Fred and George said loudly in strange voices.

Percy's face flushed slightly, and he said excitedly, "I'm writing a report for the Department of International Magical Cooperation, you two who can't enter the Ministry of Magic must not understand how important this report is!"

"It's amazing, this report will change the world," George said. "I think the Daily Prophet will have it on the front page: Leaky Cauldron."

Percy's face turned pink, and she slammed the door shut.

Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen door with a spoon and wand, and shouted, "Fred, George, why are you still here? Have you delivered Harry's box?"

Fred and George glanced at each other and immediately ran upstairs carrying a box.Ann felt that they must have done it on purpose.

After Fred and George disappeared, Mrs. Weasley's complexion improved a lot. She smiled at the others, "Go and wait in the yard, dinner should be almost here..." After finishing speaking, she turned and went into the kitchen.

"Um... are you two still going upstairs to see the rooms?" Ann asked Harry and Ron.

Harry shook his head, "Ann, have you figured out how to solve this problem?" The other three were obviously more curious about this problem.

"There are several solutions, but now it seems that the last one may be the most suitable." Ann said, "However, I still need to learn more information. Things will become clear after dinner."

Ann glanced at Percy's room, turned around and walked into the yard and asked, "It seems that Percy likes to work, doesn't he?"

"Like?" said Ron morosely. "He won't come home if Daddy doesn't pull him back. He's a workaholic. You don't want to get him talking about their boss. Mr. Crouch thinks . . . That's what I said to Mr. Crouch...that's what Mr. Crouch thought...Mr. Crouch told me...they're going to announce his hiring anytime now."

"But the Ministry of Magic is really busy this summer..." Ann muttered.

They entered the yard, and had only taken a few steps when they saw Crookshanks, Hermione's ginger, bow-legged cat.It was running back and forth in the garden in a hurry, its tail like a bottle brush sticking up high, and it was chasing something.The thing was sticky with mud, like a potato with legs.

"Is that a goblin?" Ann asked.Hermione gave Ann an affirmative answer.

A loud banging sound came from the yard, and the people walked a few more steps. They saw that Bill and Charlie had pulled out their wands, and they were moving two shabby old tables flying across the lawn, bumping into each other. Each table is trying to knock the other out of the air.

With a bang, Bill's desk hit Charlie's desk, knocking one of its legs off.At this moment, there was a crisp knocking sound above his head.They looked up at the same time and saw Percy's head poking out of the second-story window.

"Can you please keep your voice down?" he growled.

"I'm sorry, Percy," said Bill, grinning, "how's the bottom of the cauldron?"

"Bad," said Percy gruffly, and slammed the window shut.

Bill and Charlie chuckled, using their wands to guide the table down firmly onto the grass.Then, with a flick of his wand, Bill reattached the leg and conjured the tablecloth out of thin air again.Aaron and Mr. Weasley were not in the yard.

"Your family is very interesting..." Ann said with a smile. Standing in the yard, she could see the structure of the Burrow in its entirety. It was four stories high and built crookedly. built by magic.

"Besides, your house is also very good..." Ann said seriously, "It must have used a lot of magic when it was first built!"

At seven o'clock, the two tables were humming with exhaustion under the weight of Mrs Weasley's ingenious dishes.The nine members of the Weasley family, Harry, Hermione, Ann and Aaron all sat down to eat under the clear dark blue night sky.

While eating, Ann discussed the process of making the food with Mrs. Weasley. During the period, she continued to praise Mrs. Weasley with witty words, which caused Mrs. Weasley's smile to never stop from the beginning to the end.

On the other side of the table, Aaron and Arthur were still discussing various trivial matters of the Ministry of Magic. Next to Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, Charlie and Bill were discussing the World Cup enthusiastically, and Harry was buried Eating and not having time to talk, Hermione and Ginny were muttering about something.

Finally, under the moonlight and floating candles, Ann ate the last bite of strawberry ice cream contentedly.After everyone finished eating, Bill and Charlie glanced at each other tacitly, and walked back to the house first.

Mr. Weasley began to call the others back to the house, Fred and George stayed behind, while Aaron and Ann sat in their original positions without moving.

Percy mumbled his report and left before the ice cream was finished, obviously he must not be interested in what was about to happen.

But Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron reluctantly walked back to the house almost every step of the way.

"Well, let me apologize first. The Weasley brothers hid the matter from the two of you, and I was also involved." Ann said sincerely, which embarrassed the Weasleys.

"Both of them have been in trouble growing up, and more owls have flown in from Hogwarts to complain to them than all the people put together..." said Mrs. Weasley.

"This time, I asked Uncle Aaron to make an appointment to explain this matter in detail. Another thing is..." Ann glanced at Fred and George, "Mrs. Weasley, don't be angry with them Well, George and Fred are both smart..."

Both the Weasleys and Mrs. Weasley had faint smiles on their faces, and no one didn't like others to say that their child was good.

But Mrs. Weasley still said, "But the cleverness is not in the right place... Unless they cheer up quickly and turn around, they will be in trouble..."

"It's actually not that bad, ma'am." Ann took out a roll of parchment from her pocket, opened it, and handed it to Mrs. Weasley with a smile, "From today onwards, I, Ann Roland Stoke, will The identity of the first heir was announced, and the Roland family officially established the Weasley's Magic Store, hiring Fred Weasley and George Weasley as store managers."

Fred and George looked at each other, clapped their hands and cheered.

Mrs. Weasley took the parchment in a daze. On the parchment was a magic contract written in beautiful round English. At the bottom was the emblem of the Roland family and Ann's signature.

"As long as this contract is signed in the names of their two brothers, it will be protected by the laws of the Ministry of Magic. They are still studying now, but as long as they want, the Roland family can open a physical store for them in Diagon Alley at any time. Of course, they You can be responsible for domestic sales in the UK, and foreign sales can be handed over to our family. The Roland family has many years of experience in international trade..."

Both Fred and George were clearly overwhelmed by the huge surprise. "Can we sell it abroad?" "Oh my god, Mom, hurry up and sign for us..."

"Of course, when they were in school, all their R&D achievements were considered work. After they signed the contract, they were paid monthly. Each person paid 15 Galleons a month, but the salary is still negotiable..."

In the end, Ann and the Weasley family reached an agreement. Before graduation, they would only do research work and things they liked to do, and formally set up a physical store after graduation.The specific situation, the Weasley brothers and Ann will discuss again.

Mrs. Weasley was just worried that the two brothers would not learn well and would eventually be sent to the Misuse of Magic Office.But now someone has given the two brothers a high evaluation and future, and she is also very happy for the two brothers.

With things settled perfectly, Ann and Aaron headed home by the fireplace, as they had to get up early the next morning to watch the World Cup.
