v4 Chapter 12： Departure, Target Ferret Mountain (2 in 1)

"Honey, please help me bring the prepared dishes to the table, okay?" Molly ordered, she tapped some potatoes in the sink with her wand, and the potatoes flew over the trash can obediently, automatically peeled off.

"No problem, is there anything else I can help with?"

Mrs. Weasley shook her head. Wizards are different from Muggles. Those operations in the Muggle kitchen have no technical content and are just plain energy-consuming operations. Wizards only need to move their wands to complete. This is also the difference between a wizarding family and a muggle family.

In a Muggle family, the child and the non-cooking parent have repetitive tasks such as peeling potatoes, choosing vegetables, washing rice and, of course, the sinful dishwashing. In the wizarding world, none of this work is required!

All kinds of life magic have been developed very mature. There is no magic wand in the kitchen to solve the problem, and the help of the children is not enough to add chaos.

Mrs. Weasley clicked her wand, and the drawer of the kitchen stove swung open, and several knives flew out, cutting the peeled potatoes into pieces. At the same time, the two slaughtered chickens on the chopping board also stood up staggeringly, and went to the faucet to rinse themselves like a shower.

After the blood was washed, a bone-chopping knife floated over and cut two whole chickens from the joints into pieces. After cutting the chicken, the bone cutter washed himself again, and continued to cut other meats.

Mrs. Weasley did not focus on the processing of the ingredients. She was making a Basque cake. Butter, milk, sugar, eggs, and flour were mixed together in an orderly manner under her command. Inside the mold that has been covered with oiled paper. After the mold was filled, it flew into the oven on its own initiative.

"After a while, you can help me send it to the table outside, be careful of being hot." Mrs. Weasley told Tom, and then began to cook. But this time, her wand was a little too hard, and when the kitchen knife split the ox's tail, it was deeply embedded in the chopping board, and it couldn't be pulled out.

"My God!" Mrs. Weasley tapped her wand on the stove in annoyance, and the kitchen knife popped out of the chopping board, stuck it into the ceiling again, and threw the chopping board to the ground.

Mrs Weasley was in a worse mood.

"Humph!" She quickly restored everything to its original state, and couldn't help complaining, "These two guys! They don't have any ambition, just like this **** kitchen knife causing trouble for me every day, don't they two? A little bit of ambition?

Tom and Hermione knew that she was referring to Fred and George.

She threw a brass saucepan on the stove, poured some oil into it, and turned the heat to maximum.

"The two of them are very smart... just don't want to use their intelligence to study..." Mrs. Shuslai complained angrily. Tom and Hermione huddled quietly in the corner of the room, acting as a backdrop. Tom really hoped that it would be him who had been tasked with picking up the knives and forks, so that he could escape from this kitchen.

I'll bet they're going to be out of luck, the owls from Hogwarts suing them than the others

That's a lot of people..." Mrs. Weasley added some rosemary and garlic to the hot oil, and poured in the beef cubes.

Mrs. Weasley finally put down her wand and pulled out several steaming bottles of beverages from a cupboard. She put the drink on the table and picked up her wand from the table.

"After so many years, dozens of guarantees have been written. Is it useful? Ouch! It's a fake wand again!"

The wand screamed and turned into a rubber mouse.

"It's interesting." Tom thought to himself, because he had just discovered that there was no fake wand on the kitchen table, which meant that the wand came by himself.

But looking at the thick smoke coming out of the brass pan, Tom felt that the kitchen was too dangerous now.

"Come on, Bill, they need our help." Tom grabbed the drink on the table and hurried out of the kitchen with Hermione.

The two hurried into the garden through the back door, leaving Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen alone. As soon as they entered the garden, a potato-like thing covered in mud ran past them, followed closely by a ginger-colored figure.

In the end, the "potato" plunged into a hole, and Crookshanks could only pull the dirt outside in vain, looking unhappy. After confirming that he was safe, there was a burst of crazy laughter from the cave.

Tom recognized at a glance that Crookshanks had just been chasing a goblin. Unlike the setting in Muggle fantasy, the goblins of the wizarding world are so stupid that it is impossible to invent those magical magic props - in fact, they are not much smarter than voles.

Goblins are a species often found in wizarding homes' gardens, a bit like cockroaches in Muggle homes. Unlike cockroaches, however, many wizards believe that having goblins in the garden is a blessing. Xenophilius-Lovegood even believes that goblin saliva has many unusual benefits, such as a sudden increase in one's creativity. Tom was skeptical: this thing looks stupid, how can you add intelligence?

In the garden, Bill and Charlie were fighting at the table, and the rest of the Weasleys were watching—except Percy, who was still rushing to report, and the Bulgarian Minister of Magic was coming to the World Cup finals, which gave The Ministry of Magic has increased its workload quite a bit.

Visits at the ministerial level are extremely rare, and they bring up a whole host of issues, all of which need to be dealt with by the Division for International Magical Cooperation.

Mrs. Weasley prepared a sumptuous dinner before dark, despite all the things that were holding her back. When the last dish fell on the table, the old table creaked overwhelmed, and it was finally stabilized by Charlie's Reinforcement Charm.

Chicken stews, roasts, cauldrons, pies, breezy drinks, and soft and delicious Basque cakes!

This meal is enough to please everyone.

At first, everyone was busy with their meals, but after the stomach was a little full, everyone began to chat about topics that they were interested in.

Percy very much wanted to discuss with Mr. Weasley some details of the reception of Bulgarians, but Mr. Weasley was obviously not paying attention to his son. After Percy finished speaking, he couldn't wait to inquire about the Muggle couple from the Grangers beside him, such as their mode of transportation, currency and telephone.

After hitting a soft nail with his father, Percy closed his mouth angrily, and buried his head to eliminate the chicken stew with potatoes on the plate. Fred and George were revived—they were like unbeatable little powerhouses, quickly recovering from their slumps no matter what setbacks they suffered. Now they're having a heated discussion with Charlie and Ron about the World Cup final. As for Harry, he watched eagerly, not wanting to miss a word. He has been on Privet Drive during the summer vacation, and Privet Drive is completely isolated from the magical world, so all the news of the magical world is unknown to him.

He is now annoyed at the thought that he almost missed the entire World Cup. How happy it would be to be able to sit in front of the TV, eat snacks with friends, and watch the World Cup at the same time!

Thinking of the TV, Harry suddenly realized that it seemed unrealistic to watch a live broadcast with several friends, because there is no TV in the wizarding world, only radio. I am afraid

"I admit that Krum is very strong, but the overall strength of the Bulgarian team is too crotch. Except for the Seeker, the Irish team can basically crush the Bulgarian team." Charlie eats baked potatoes while lining up with his younger brothers.

"But Krum

"Nothing, but the only difference between the two sides is whether Krum can catch the Snitch before the Bulgarian team is 150 points behind - the strength of the Bulgarian team, in fact, they can't even make it to the semi-finals." Charlie said his mouth. The potato in it swallowed and said with oath.

"What's going on? What about the English team?" Harry asked eagerly. Quidditch was Harry's most concerned entertainment, and he wanted to know everything about Quidditch.

"Welsh was eliminated by Uganda, Scotland was beaten by Luxembourg, England was defeated by Transylvania." Charlie said with a sullen face.

"Sorry, t...t what?" Harry searched for the name of the country in his mind, but found himself completely unimpressed with this strangely named country.

"Transylvania. It is located in the central and western parts of Romania. It is not a country, but a region. There seems to be a little bit of history in history." Charlie explained what Transylvania was for Harry.

Many teams participating in the Magic World Cup do not compete in the form of countries, but in the name of regions. The more classic ones are the British team that is divided into three teams of England, Scotland and Wales, and Romania, where there are Romania and Transylva. Nia, the Netherlands is Flanders, and so on.

This situation is mainly because wizards are isolated from Muggles, and many times they do not divide themselves according to the administrative area of ​​Muggles. For example, Flanders, which is a historical place name in Western Europe, generally refers to the southern part of the Netherlands in Western Europe, including Belgium, France, and the Netherlands.

If wizards draw a map of the world, it will definitely be very different from Muggle maps. The Statute of Secrecy interrupts the contact between Muggles and wizards, and it also hinders the change of political areas - the Buddha just mentioned Both Landers and Transylvania were once princely states. They perished in the non-magical world, but still existed in the magical world.

Bill finally got rid of Mrs. Weasley's harassment that she wanted Bill to take off his earrings and cut his hair short, which was unacceptable to Bill. He and Ginny switched places and sat next to Tom.

"Tom, what did you experience in the desert?" Bill held a plate full of food in one hand and a spoon in the other, looking like a crowd.

Tom:?

"Why do you think to ask this?"

"Exploration is one of the essential qualities of a spell breaker," Bill smiled embarrassedly. "Treasures are not placed in open spaces for people to pick up. You know, I'm a spell breaker. Employees also have performance needs.”

Tom took a swig of iced blueberry juice from a glass.

Desire to explore? Then you should be a qualified group destroyer. As we all know, when it comes to ancient ruins, the easiest ones to get a lunch or advance the plot development are those curious babies. The desire to explore is a necessary quality for a spell-breaker, but those who can restrain the desire to explore are good spell-breakers.

Tom didn't really want to announce the news of Menis - although the boss said that it would be good to have someone come to play with him, but it also depends on the situation. If Tom turned people's mausoleum into a tourist attraction, I'm afraid that he will not be settled by Menis after the fall.

Menis is just polite, don't take it seriously. Besides, Tom thinks back now and thinks that the hidden area in the ancient city is too dangerous, and it is not suitable for the spell-breaker to take risks.

"A relic left from the ancient Egyptian era is very dangerous." Tom told Bill about his experience in the ancient city.

As for the upside-down pyramid and the like, he didn't mention it at all. He just said that the team was attacked by Voldemort bats, and they escaped from the ruins of the ancient city only after nine deaths.

"I remember that the guild organized by Professor Dumbledore seems to have issued an exploration mission? Any news at the end?"

Bill shook his head, "The people in the guild have explored it. It's a dangerous ruin, and there may be treasures in it. Some of my colleagues didn't give up and wanted to go in and search. The people in the guild are not professional spell-breakers. There may be omissions.'

"Good luck to you." Tom didn't care.

Eat, drink and talk, the moon gradually rises into the night sky, and everyone fills their stomachs.

"My God, is it that time?" Mrs. Weasley pushed her husband, interrupting his conversation with Mr. Granger.

"You guys have to get up early tomorrow to watch the game! All go to bed!" Mrs. Weasley drove everyone back to their bedrooms in an unquestioning tone.

After Tom had washed up, Mrs Weasley felt like he was woken up by Mrs. Weasley as soon as he hit the pillow. Because you have to go to the port key delivery point on foot, and the port key has a fixed time, everyone must get up early.

When the three of them were woken up, it was still dark outside!

Mr. Weasley was chatting with Mr. Granger when everyone entered the kitchen. Last night, one of them wanted to know about the wizarding world, the other wanted to know about Muggles, so they talked about everything. If it wasn't for the inconvenience, Mr. Arthur would have liked to sleep in Mr. Granger's bedroom at night.

"Look, how am I dressed? We're going to hide our identities, so I matched myself with a dress," Mr. Weasley asked eagerly.

He had chosen the dress himself, without consulting Mr. Granger. To him, it was like an exam, dressing independently and dressing with Muggle help were two different things. You can't ask the teacher for answers in exams, and you can't wear clothes either.

Tom stared sleepily at Mr. Weasley, who was wearing a fat T-shirt today, a pair of ripped jeans and a wide belt around his waist. Not to mention, it looks like an American red neck.

After receiving a positive answer from Harry and the others, Mr. Weasley smiled happily.

Tom's sleepiness vanished when Hermione appeared. Today, she wore a slim-fitting pale pink sweater over a beige suit jacket, and skinny jeans showed off her slender thighs perfectly. This suit perfectly outlines the young and beautiful body of the girl.

If there were no other people in the living room Tom would have whistled to show his compliments, but there are so many people here that he can only calm himself down with a sip of cold water

The line that started early in the morning was huge, and in the Burrow only Mrs Weasley, Bill, Charlie and Percy didn't have to get up early. Mrs. Weasley didn't go to the game, and the other three were Apparating.

During breakfast, Mr. Weasley gave Harry and Mr. Granger a detailed introduction to the magical spell of Apparition.

Before departure, there is also a small episode: the fat tongue toffee that Fred and George kept was discovered by Mrs. Weasley. This is a sad story.

Mrs. Weasley used her Summoning Charm and found all the sweets. Fred and George's plan went utterly bankrupt.

This change made the atmosphere before departure very stiff. At least when Mr. Weasley shouted: "Go, target Ferret Mountain!" Fred and George's faces were stern.

Goo! 4.6K big chapter, long and hard!

Yesterday's 515 update, I seem to be one of the rare Harry Potter fans who wrote 5,000 words? So proud, hehe~
