Chapter 5 The Weasleys

It has to be said that the Weasleys are a very easy-going group of people.

Mr. Weasley has a wealth of experience in dealing with Muggles. After being introduced by Ivan and Hermione, he eased the anxiety of both parents, except for the occasional obsession with Muggle objects and surprises Other than that, the others are basically invulnerable.

As for Mrs. Weasley, the first thing she did when she got out of the fireplace was to give a big hug to the children. Even Ivan didn't fall behind, and the time was even longer than Harry. She thanked Ivan again and again for her help. Harry, he was a little embarrassed to say it.

As for the children of the Weasley family, the elder Percy greeted Ivan and Hermione with extremely formal etiquette. That meticulous look reminded Ivan of certain nobles.

Behind the model Percy are Fred and George, very interesting twins who are hard to hate except for the occasional mischievous thought.

As for Ron, Harry's best friend, freckled and clumsy-looking, who had gotten along with Harry from the start, he yelled that he was going to save Harry in a speeder a week ago, provoking it. Hermione on the side was strongly dissatisfied.

By the way, there is also Ginny, who has been with Mrs. Weasley, the same age as Ai Wen, a beautiful little girl with red hair, but she is too shy. looking at Harry.

After a brief introduction, the group prepared to go to Gringotts, the wizarding bank, to withdraw money.

This is the first time Aiwen has seen goblins. They are not much prettier than house elves, but there are shrewd and cunning lights in their eyes from time to time, making Aiwen realize that this is completely different from house elves. species of creatures.

They walked along a long white stone staircase into a tall marble hall.

There are about a hundred goblins sitting on high stools behind a long counter, some weighing coins with copper scales, some examining gems with eyepieces, and hurriedly registering on a large ledger; there are countless people in the hall. Doors lead to different places, and many fairies guide people to enter and exit these doors.

Harry and the Weasley family, led by a goblin called Griphook, are going to go to their vault to withdraw money, while Ivan and Hermione need to exchange pounds for the currency commonly used by wizards in the hall.

The Grangers exchanged ten pounds, and Mr. Mason exchanged a large bag of gold Galleons for him under Ivan's hard bubble, the amount far exceeding the total value of the items on the school shopping list.

About fifteen minutes later, Harry and the Weasleys came out of the underground vault.

The group parted on the marble steps outside Gringotts, Percy muttered about buying a new quill, Fred and George saw Lee Jordan, their friend at Hogwarts, and as for Mr. Weasley, He insisted on taking the Masons and Grangers to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.

Ivan looked at Harry. He seemed to want to talk to Ron and Hermione alone. After thinking about it, Ivan decided to go with Mrs. Weasley and Ginny to buy school robes and wands.

"We'll meet at the Lichen Bookstore in an hour to buy you textbooks," Mrs. Weasley explained and left with Ginny and Ivan.

"Also, don't go to Knockturn Alley!" she shouted at the twin brother's back.

"Mrs. Weasley, where should we buy a wand, you know it's my first time in Diagon Alley." Ivan said a little embarrassedly.

"Honey, we're going to Ollivander, and you and Ginny both need a new wand." Mrs. Weasley turned to look at Ai Wen with a smile, "but we have to hurry, and With so much to buy, we can't be late for Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing today."

"Guidero Lockhart?!" Ivan frowned, "I saw the books that needed him on the school's book list, and I don't know what the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor thought, the prices of those books. Not cheap."

"Yeah, maybe your new teacher is an admirer of Lockhart, after all, he's so amazing, but buying five Lockhart books at once is really too much." Mrs. Weasley looked a little worried. " I'm sorry Ginny, but I think you'll need to buy a lot of stuff this year."

"It's okay, Mom!" It seemed that she had known about this for a long time. Ginny couldn't see how frustrated she was. She winked at Ivan and whispered, "My mom is very fascinated by Lockhart, she adores him ."

"Don't talk nonsense, Ginny!"

Mrs. Weasley blushed. "Sometimes, you have to admit, it's really attractive to be a wizard as great as him."

It is particularly attractive to middle-aged and elderly women. Ai Wen covered his forehead with his hand. He didn't have any good feelings for Lockhart, a big liar. Anyway, he would be exposed 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 I first met her, and as long as Harry is not in front of her, she immediately returns to her normal state, a very talkative and energetic little girl.

Along the way, she told Ai Wen a lot of things in her home.

It can be seen that, unlike Ron, Ginny really doesn't care about using second-hand items from her brothers, except for one, which is to use second-hand school uniforms, which makes her very frustrated.

While chatting, the three came to a small and broken shop.

The gold plaque on the door had been peeled off, and it read: Ollivander: Well-crafted wand since 382 BC.

In the dusty window, a wand stands alone on a faded purple cushion.

When they entered the store, there was a tinkling bell from somewhere behind the store. Ai Wen looked around, the shop was very small, and there was nothing but a bench in front of the counter.

Not far away, there are thousands of long and narrow cardboard boxes that almost reach the ceiling.

There are all kinds of wands in it. For some reason, Aiwen suddenly felt a hair in his heart. The dust and silence here seemed to make people feel that there was a mysterious magic hidden in it.

Mrs. Weasley led them to wait on the bench, and after a while, a soft voice came from the store.
