The Years Welding at Hogwarts

August 16, Ottery-St. Catchpole Village, Burrow.

In the Weasley family, which has a large population, the breakfast table is as lively as ever, and the cheerful atmosphere is even more cheerful than before.

This is not just because the twin brothers took home two Orders of Merlin for their Weasley family.

The existence of Bill and Charlie is also an important reason for promoting this cheerful atmosphere.

Yesterday, when the investiture ceremony was held, and today, it happened to be a full weekend.

Bill and Charlie, who don’t need to go to work yet, can stay at home until the next morning, and then use the international floo network to return to their respective workplaces, the Dragon Farm in Romania and Gringotts in Egypt.

“Come on, eat more.”

Mrs. Weasley, with a friendly smile on her face, cut a large piece of fragrantly fried tenderloin into two parts and put them on the dinner plate in front of their future twin stars. After the twin brothers received the letter from the Wizengamot, the two brothers became the most loved ones in the family, uh���It should be the second most favored existence.

The number one position belongs to Ginny, the little princess of the Weasley family. Not to mention just a third-level medal, even a first-level medal cannot shake Ginny’s solid position in the Weasley family.

Ron looked at the bare food on his plate, which didn’t even have jam on it, and the softest part of the bread in the center had been picked out, and then looked at the outline of Harry’s plate that was obviously different from his meal. The piece of bread on the plate was worthy of a loving breakfast, and I couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Is he really his mother’s biological son?

Why does he feel that Harry is more like his mother’s biological son than him?

He was just an orphan that his mother adopted from a trash can on the side of the street when she took Bill and Charlie to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies.

As for why his hair is the same fiery red as the Weasleys, it can only be said to be a coincidence.

“Mom, I want some fried pork too!”

Hearing Ron’s words, Mrs. Weasley replied angrily,”Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long.”

That’s what she said, but she still cut a large piece of fried tenderloin from the large dinner plate in the middle of the table, and then put it on Ron and Harry’s plates respectively. The darkly fried tenderloin There was a layer of golden oil on the surface, but the inner layer after being cut was the right pink color, and the well-textured muscles kept exuding an alluring aroma.

Ron swallowed hard. He salivated loudly, feeling great admiration for the abilities of his two infinite brothers, of course mixed with a little bit of jealousy and envy. The twin brothers took back not just two Merlin medals from the medal ceremony, but There are also bonuses from the Wizengamot.

The bonus for the third-level medal is five hundred gold galleons. The two medals for two people add up to one thousand galleons, which is equivalent to one of their Weasley family savings. A thousand times – when Ron entered Hogwarts last year, in order to buy Ron some teaching supplies such as textbooks and cauldrons, they went to the Weasley family’s vault in Gringotts to withdraw money.

There was only A pitiful gold Galleons lay there, next to a pile of Silver Sickles and Copper Nuts. The overall assets seemed very shabby compared to the capacity of the vault.

Now, the Weasley family is finally wealthy..

The twin brothers originally planned to use this money as start-up capital for their store. The two of them had always dreamed of opening a store similar to Zuko’s Joke Shop, which specializes in selling various prank props.

But their dream was As soon as there was a glimmer of possibility of realization, Mrs. Weasley ruthlessly snuffed it out.

They had just received the start-up capital, and before they could warm it in their hands, Mrs. Weasley confiscated it. The reason was: Keep it for the two of them and return it to them when they reach adulthood.

A thousand galleons, but in the end they only got a pitiful five galleons each as their pocket money for this semester.

This is very important to poor Wes The Lai family has made great progress. In the past, their pocket money per semester was only a pitiful five silver coins.

If they hadn’t braved the Forbidden Forest many times and searched for magic materials in the dangerous dark forest, Then they sold it to the shops in Diagon Alley to make money. The little pocket money they received from Mrs. Weasley couldn’t even buy the raw materials for invention and creation.

Looking at their daughter, son-in-law, and sons who were immersed in eating in front of them, Wes The smile on Mrs. Leigh’s face deepened.

Her eyes fell on Ginny, who was eating a bacon sandwich. Molly frowned slightly when she saw that there was not much food on the plate in front of her.

“Ginny, why do you only eat so much?”

“Well……”

Ginny raised her head slightly when her name was called, glanced at Harry who was sitting diagonally opposite her at a very fast speed, and then lowered her head again as fast as lightning.

“Eating too much will make you gain weight.”

Looking at her daughter’s blushing face, Mrs. Weasley glanced at Harry who was eating obediently with his head down. She was completely aware of Ginny’s idea of a young and budding girl.

Ever since she was with Ron After hearing about Harry’s deeds there, Mrs. Weasley has always liked Harry as a child.

Others only saw Harry’s legendary experience of successfully surviving and defeating the killing curse of the mysterious man. But only Mrs. Weasley saw Harry’s unfortunate experience hidden behind his reputation as a savior.

Both his parents died when he was young, and his uncle’s family who stayed with him treated him particularly badly…

Mrs. Weasley has always been a She treats Harry as her own son, so it would be great if Ginny could finally get together with Harry. After seeing through her daughter’s little thoughts, Mrs. Weasley did not force her. Ginny had eaten more meat, so she just stood up from the chair with a smile, washed an apple and placed it in front of Ginny.

“Then eat some fruit.”

Seeing Ginny nodding obediently, Mrs. Weasley suddenly remembered something,”By the way, Ginny should enter Hogwarts this year, but why did her admission notice come so late?”

Mr. Weasley put down the newspaper in his hand,”Lovegood just asked me the same thing a few days ago. His daughter Luna also entered Hogwarts this year and also did not receive the admission notice..”

After hearing Mr. Weasley’s words, Mrs. Weasley felt relieved.

Since no one else has received the admission notice, this proves that it is not Ginny’s problem alone, but Hogwarts’s problem. Maybe something delayed the delivery of the admission notice.

After all, there were too many messy things happening in the wizarding world this year.

First there was the disaster in London, and then the Minister of Magic resigned, and it didn’t take long for Cornelius… After Fudge cleaned up the mess, Dumbledore also resigned…

The original vice-principal, Professor McGonagall, succeeded Dumbledore as the new principal. The Sir Merlin Order unprecedentedly awarded a total of more than two hundred medals at once.

From the establishment of the Sir Merlin Order Until now, the total number of medals issued may not be as high as this time.

The Hogwarts admission notice is just delayed, and compared with the messy things mentioned before, it is not important at all. It’s a big deal.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Percy also spoke,”We haven’t received our textbook list yet. I heard Mr. Diggory said that there will be big changes at Hogwarts this year. ?”

“What changes? Why didn’t I hear about it?”Mr. Weasley asked curiously

“He also heard what his son Cedric said, and he himself was not sure about the changes in Hogwarts.”

As he spoke, Percy turned his attention to the twin brothers who were in the same grade as Cedric,”George and Fred, you should know more than me. The two twins looked at each other and saw a trace of confusion in each other’s eyes,”We haven’t heard Cedric talk about this either?””

The two spoke in unison in tacit understanding, as if the same brain was controlling their actions.

Mr. Weasley, who had already eaten and drank enough, continued to pick up his newspaper,”Anyway, school will start in two weeks. Well, you will naturally know what is going on when you go to Hogwarts.”

While a few people were chatting, a sound of flapping wings suddenly came from outside the restaurant window, gradually getting louder from far to near.

Ginny jumped off the chair excitedly,”It should be my acceptance letter.!”

Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump to the window sill and open the window, looking at the four black spots gradually approaching in the distant sky. The excitement on Ginny’s face became more obvious as the owl approached. Under the gaze of everyone , the four owls were like dive-bombing Stukas, forming a neat formation, whizzing in through the restaurant window, accurately throwing the missiles hanging under their talons where they should go. Seeing this In one scene, Errol, the Weasley family’s over-aged old owl, just slumped on the window sill and turned over lazily.

Ever since the Weasley family became rich, it has lived a retired life to enjoy life. I no longer need to worry about sending letters with this old bone.

“Admission notice!”

She had already made a guess when she saw the owl, but when she saw the Hogwarts badge on the envelope, she couldn’t help but scream in surprise.

She couldn’t wait to tear open the envelope and look from inside. Pulling out the parchment that they had longed for,

Percy, George, Fred and Ron also all received a list of teaching materials they needed for this semester from Hogwarts.

There is nothing strange about this. It’s just that, why did Charlie, a graduate who had graduated for more than a year, receive a letter from Hogwarts?

Charlie looked at the envelope in front of him with some confusion and checked the envelope again and again. The recipient did indeed write his name on it. Charlie, who was frowning, opened the envelope in confusion.

“It’s weird, why do I still get letters from Hogwarts?”Charlie raised the parchment in his hand and raised it.

Bill, who was sitting next to him, curiously took the parchment in his hand and said,”Oh? let me see.”

The parchment still has the familiar emerald green ink and Professor McGonagall’s handwriting.——

“Dear Mr. Charlie Weasley:

We are pleased to inform you that starting from this school year, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will begin to implement a new nine-year education system. As an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, you have been approved Participate in the first undergraduate advanced course offered by our school at the School of Continuing Education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

We have contacted your workplace in advance and reached an agreement on your further training plan. The Romanian Dragon Farm has agreed to our proposed on-the-job training plan. All your salary during your further training at Hogwarts will be It will continue to be issued by Hogwarts until you complete your studies and return to work.

Attached is a list of required books and equipment.

The semester is scheduled to begin on September 1st. We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before August 25th.

Yours sincerely, Headmaster, Minerva McGonagall.”

After reading the content of this letter, Bill’s questions exploded in his mind like fireworks. He was stunned for a moment and didn’t know where to start talking to Charlie about this matter.

So he chose to remain silent. He handed the letter back to Charlie’s hand and motioned for him to read what was written in the letter.

The next moment, this macho man who had wrestled with a fire dragon in Romania was stunned for a moment.

What the hell?���?

Nine years of compulsory education at Hogwarts?

Continuing education for graduates?

Full-time undergraduate advanced course?

Charlie turned his head with a dull expression and looked at his elder brother, and both of them saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Immediately, he turned his attention to Percy, who had heard some inside information from Cedric’s father long ago, but at this moment, Percy obviously had no intention of paying attention to them.

After turning over and over the books listed on the textbook list several times, and then taking the textbook list from Fred’s hand next to him, and carefully comparing it with his own list, Percy confirmed that this was not his hallucination.

【Textbook]

According to the N you reported.E.W.To advance to the Ts class, you need to prepare the following books:

1. Advanced Mathematics·Calculus

2. Principles of Physics

3. Feast of the Elements

4. Griffith’s Anatomy

5. History of World War

6. Military Technology

……

Not only sixth-grade students need to use these six strange textbooks, but even Ron, who has just entered the second grade, saw the names of these six books in his textbook list.

Except that the first book, Advanced Mathematics and Calculus, has been replaced by another book called Introduction to Mathematics, the others are basically the same.

Moreover, these six textbooks are separated from other books by dividing lines, and parentheses are used to indicate that these books are not available at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

It is only sold in a Muggle bookstore on Charing Cross Street outside Diagon Alley.

The letter also thoughtfully included a map, marking the name of the designated Muggle bookstore.

“Karma Taj Bookstore?”

Percy scratched the back of his head,”I heard Mr. Diggory say that the biggest change at Hogwarts this year seems to be Muggle Studies, which will be changed from an elective course to a compulsory course.……”

Hearing Percy’s words, Mr. Weasley immediately became interested,”Is Muggle Studies going to be made a compulsory course?”

“This should be related to the incident that happened in London some time ago, right?”George put down the book list in his hand

“I’ve heard about it too,” Fred also said.”Cedric told me that the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures, where his father worked, secretly captured two lizardmen to study.”

Hearing his two sons mention this topic that is still considered taboo in the wizarding world, Mr. Weasley unconsciously lowered his voice.

“The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters sampled and analyzed the rainwater at that time, and later they discovered that the rainwater that could transform wizards and Muggles into lizardmen was not simply a magical creation.”

“Although many people cannot believe this result, or are unwilling to believe and accept it, according to the final investigation results of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, the original cause of the incident was indeed a Muggle technology product.”

“It’s just that this statement has never been confirmed by Minister Bones personally, and it is only circulated within a small circle within the Ministry of Magic. I don’t know whether it is true or not.”

Mr. Weasley’s statement made Percy and others feel a little incredible. Bill, who has been working for several years and has the broadest vision among the young people, was the first to react.

“So what does the Ministry of Magic mean now, is it planning to take the initiative to promote wizards to understand everything about Muggles and promote the integration of the two worlds?”

“Oh My God! Percy exclaimed,”But the International Statute of Secrecy is not……”

As soon as he finished speaking, he reacted and suddenly stopped talking.

Everything Grindelwald did to the wizarding world back then is still an extremely sensitive topic. Even in their own homes, they cannot talk about the”International Statute of Secrecy” openly and openly.
