Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 745
c86 Dinner
“You seem to have lost weight?”
Mrs. Weasley glanced at Malfoy’s face and couldn’t help complaining: “Death Eaters even take care of the food at Hogwarts?”
Malfoy shook his head helplessly: “I’m not losing weight…”
In fact, he usually hides in a secret base with others, and all food is provided by house elves. Malfoy is sure that no one has lost weight.
Mrs. Weasley didn’t listen to his explanation, and pulled him into the Burrow, then pushed him into the kitchen.
“eat first.”
Malfoy shook his head helplessly: “I ate it on the train!”
But it was obvious that Mrs. Weasley would not listen to his explanation. Ginny was in the kitchen, and there was a plate of thick apple pie in front of her.
“Only when you are full can you have the strength to work!”
After saying that, Mrs. Weasley went out.
Malfoy and Ginny looked at each other.
Ginny shook her head: “Eat, otherwise mother will not let you go.”
Malfoy was speechless for a moment.
At this time, the room was filled with voices.
People gathered together and talked to each other about the current situation and what happened that they knew or didn’t know.
“So, Gringotts is really finished?”
Sirius Black said with a smile on his face.
Harry nodded helplessly: “Lu Ke saw it with his own eyes. I remember that the Black family has many things in Gringotts, right?”
His unspoken question was why Sirius Black looked so happy.
Sirius Black nodded: “Now I finally don’t have to think of excuses to throw away those old antiques!”
The excitement on his face couldn’t be faked.
Harry shook his head helplessly.
He turned around and saw Mr. and Mrs. Bill serving tea and water to everyone. Fleur smiled and put a cup of black tea into Harry’s hands: “A reward for you, hero.”
Harry smiled helplessly.
Not far next to him, Hermione was talking to the Grangers. They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and Harry couldn’t help laughing when he saw this scene.
On the other side, in the corner of the room, Lupine, Mr. Weasley, Charlie and Lu Ke stood together, lowering their heads and talking.
“So there really is a fire dragon under Gringotts?”
Charlie looked excited and curious.
Lu Ke nodded: “And it’s Ukrainian Iron Belly. It probably hasn’t seen the sun since it was born. I can see clearly that its scales are pure white.”
Charlie showed a sympathetic look: “It’s so pitiful…”
He completely ignored the fact that it was actually Lu Ke who killed the poor fire dragon.
Mr. Weasley smiled helplessly: “But seriously, is Gringotts really finished?”
“The contents of those vaults…”
Lu Ping couldn’t help but laugh: “Why, do you still have private money hidden in it?”
Mr. Weasley could only smile bitterly.
The poverty of the Weasley family is no secret. Although they once made a fortune thanks to Ron’s good luck, Mrs. Weasley gave all the money to Johanna. As for the sons’ own money, they all earned it. Keep it to yourself, just like the super-rich twins who suffered the biggest loss this time.
“I’m just worried…that wizards who have no wealth will become Death Eaters with all their heart.”
Lupine nodded silently.
This is normal.
Not all wizards can handle having their life savings wiped out.
Lu Ke shook his head: “Although the goblins have set up very complex protective spells in Gringotts, not all vaults cannot be opened. After the mysterious man’s trouble is solved, we can definitely call in the curse breakers to study Ways to open the vault.”
“Besides, there are no survivors among the Gringotts staff. Most of them are wizards from Muggle families. They hide well.”
Mr. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head: “All the trouble is You-Know-Who, right?”
As he said that, he glanced at Lu Ke curiously: “I really thought you were preparing to arrange a battle plan, but you didn’t call everyone in the Order of the Phoenix…”
Lu Ke shook his head: “This is just a break. I really have a battle plan. I will not forget anyone.”
Mr. Weasley nodded suspiciously, but said nothing more.
“By the way, when will you and Johanna get married?”
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “Wait until the trouble is resolved.”
Mr. Weasley and Charlie turned to Lupin, laughing together.
Lu Ping sighed helplessly: “Can I attend your wedding?”
Lu Ke couldn’t help but laugh: “Of course, I think there may be several weddings to be put together at that time.”
They turned together and looked at the wizards crowded in the small living room.
“Harry and Hermione, Sirius and Amelia, um…Ron and Catherine?”
Mr. Weasley sighed: “Catherine writes here every week, but unfortunately we have never been able to contact Ron.”
Lu Ke smiled: “This is just right. The whole winter vacation is enough for Ron to write a reply to every letter.”
The chaos lasted long enough before they began to make messy preparations for Christmas.
Lu Ke carried a fir tree in from outside, and others used magic spells to decorate the Christmas tree. The ladies followed Mrs. Weasley to prepare the food for the dinner, and the men used magic spells to decorate the venue.
The winter afternoon was quickly darkening, but the lights were bright inside the Burrow.
They quickly set up a lively and welcoming place.
Then came the chaotic dinner party.
The Burrow didn’t have such a big space at all, so they had to put the place in the yard. Hermione used Transfiguration to create a temporary hall. Everyone sat at the long table, eating, talking and laughing.
The dinner lasted until late, and then they dispersed.
Lu Ke seemed to be specially welcoming people who were sent away. He accompanied the people who left out again and again, and came back soon after, and then went out again.
Harry looked at this scene and couldn’t help but shake his head: “Why does it feel like he is looking for an opportunity to whisper to someone this time?”
He was actually wondering in his heart whether Lu Ke was taking this opportunity to talk about their plan to go to Hogwarts.
But Hermione shook her head: “If he had arranged a battle plan, Moody would not have failed to show up today.”
Harry woke up in shock: “Yes! And Hagrid…”
“Then he…”
Ron smiled and shook his head next to Harry: “Maybe he just wants to avoid my mother who keeps forcing him to eat more.”
Harry and the three laughed together.
Finally, everyone else left, and finally Harry and Ron were pushed into their room together by Mrs. Weasley.
Then they were surprised to find that they were squeezed together with Malfoy.
“What?”
Ron was simply stunned.
Malfoy looked calm.
