Chapter 5 Weasleys
I have to say that the Weasleys are a very good group of people.
Mr. Weasley has a wealth of experience dealing with Muggles. After the introduction of Ai Wen and Hermione, he has eased the uneasiness of both parents, except for occasionally showing obsession with Muggle items and a surprise. Other than that, the rest is basically impeccable.
As for Mrs. Weasley, the first thing she got out of the fireplace was to give a few children a big hug. Even Ai Wen didn’t fall. It was even longer than Harry. She repeatedly thanked Ai Wen for helping. Harry, he said he was a little embarrassed.
As for the children of the Weasley family, the older Percy used a very formal etiquette to say a greeting to Evan and Hermione, and the meticulous look made Avon think of some nobles.
Behind the model Percy, Fred and George, a pair of very interesting twins, it is hard to hate them except for the occasional mischievous thoughts.
As for Ron, who had been mingled with Harry, Harry’s best friend, freckled, looked a little clumsy, and he yelled that he had planned to drive a car a week ago to save Harry. Hermione was a little dissatisfied.
Yes, there is Ginny, who has been with Mrs. Weasley, and Ai Wen, who is the same age, a beautiful little girl with red hair, but she is too shy, she hasn’t said a word, she has been staring red. Look at Harry.
After a brief introduction, the group is ready to go to the Wizarding Bank to pick up the money.
This is the first time that Avon has seen the goblins. They are not much more beautiful than the house elves, but the eyes flashed through the shrewd and cunning light from time to time, making Ai Wen realize that this is completely different from the house elves. Kind of creature.
They walked along a long white stone step into a tall marble hall.
There are about a hundred leprechauns sitting on the high stools behind a row of long counters. Some use the copper balance to call the coins, some use the eyepieces to check the gems, and register on the big books. There are countless in the hall. The doors lead to different places, and many goblins guide people to come in and out of these doors.
Harry and the Weasleys, led by a leprechaun called a pull ring, are preparing to go to their vault to withdraw money. Avon and Hermione need to replace the pound with the singer's currency in the hall.
The Grangers exchanged for ten pounds, and Mr. Mason exchanged a large pocket of gold gallon under Ai Wen’s hard-won, which far exceeded the total value of the items listed on the school’s shopping list.
About fifteen minutes later, Harry and the Weasleys came out of the underground vault.
The group broke up on the marble steps outside the Gringotts. Percy was clamoring to buy a new quill. Fred and George saw their friend Li Jordan at Hogwarts School. As for Mr. Weasley, He insisted on bringing the Mason and Grangers to the Cauldron Bar for a drink.
Ai Wen looked at Harry. He seemed to have something to say to Ron and Hermione alone. After thinking about it, Ai Wen decided to go with Mrs. Weasley and Ginny to buy school robe and wand.
"After an hour, I gathered at the Ritz Bookstore and bought textbooks for you." Mrs. Weasley confessed, leaving Ginny and Ai Wen to leave.
"And, don't go down the alley!" she shouted at the back of the twin brothers.
"Mrs. Weasley, where should we go to buy a wand, you know that I am coming to Diagonal Lane for the first time." Ai Wen was a little crooked.
"Dear, we are going to Ollivander, you and Ginny need a new wand." Mrs. Weasley turned and looked at Ai Wen, revealing a smile. "But we have to hurry and return. There are so many things to buy, and today there is a signature conference for Gidlow Lockhart, we can't be late."
"Gidrow Lockhart?!" Ai Wen frowned. "I saw the book that needed him on the school's list, and I don't know what the new Dark Magic Defense class professor thinks. The price of those books. Not cheap."
"Yeah, maybe your new teacher is a admirer of Lockhart. After all, he is so great, but it is really too much to buy five sets of Lockhart books at once." Mrs. Weasley looked a little worried. Sorry, Ginny, I think you need to buy second-hand goods for many things this year."
"It's okay, Mom!" It seems that she already knew this thing. Ginny couldn't see how depressed she was. She blinked at Ai Wen and whispered. "My mother is very fascinated by Lockhart, she admires him. ""
"Don't say, Ginny!"
Mrs. Weasley blushed. "Sometimes, you have to admit that it is really attractive to be such a great wizard."
It is particularly attractive to middle-aged and elderly women. Ai Wen rubbed his forehead with his hand. He didn't have any good feelings for the big swindler of Lockhart. Anyway, he would be dismantled sooner or later. He didn't want to continue talking on this topic.
In fact, what surprised him even more was Ginny.
This little girl is not as shy as she was when she first saw it. As soon as Harry was not in sight, she immediately returned to normal, a very talkative, energetic little girl.
Along the way, she told Ai Wen a lot of things in her own home.
It can be seen that, unlike Ron, Ginny does not care about the use of second-hand items that her brothers have fallen down. Except one, it is to use second-hand school uniforms, which makes her very depressed.
The three chatted and went to a small, broken shop.
The gold sign on the door has been peeled off, and the above reads: Olivander: A fine wand was made from 382 BC.
In the dusty window, a wand was placed on the faded purple cushion.
When they entered the store, there was a ringing jingle in the back of the store. Alvin looked around and the shop was very small. There was nothing but a bench in front of the counter.
Not far away, there are thousands of narrow cartons that almost code to the ceiling.
There are all kinds of wands inside. I don't know why. Ai Wen suddenly feels a hair in his heart. The dust and silence here seem to make people feel the mysterious magic.
Mrs. Weasley led them to sit on the bench and waited for a while, a soft voice came out of the store.
