Chapter 164 The Burrow
After deciding to spend a few days at the Weasleys', Professor McGonagall first sent a letter to them, responding to their invitation, and mentioned in the letter that Fish was recently obsessed with Chinese food, so he had to bring a house elf.
Then the next day, they received a reply from the Weasleys, in which Fish and Comey were very warmly welcomed to visit.
"Minerva, this owl is so pitiful, meow..."
Fish poked Errol, the owl who delivered the letter. It was half dead and slumped on the table at this time, obviously exhausted.
Kindly patted Errol to comfort him, barely cheering him up a little... It was just a little old, not dying yet, so the comfort spell didn't work very well on it.
"Well, let's take it with us when we ask Comey to go there later."
Professor McGonagall also knew a little about the Weasley family's situation, but she didn't expect that they were so poor that they couldn't even afford an owl...
Why don't we ask Comey to bring more ingredients and seasonings later? The food expenses of this greedy little cat, Fish, are not low. Especially after falling in love with Chinese food, many cooking ingredients are difficult to buy and the prices are higher.
Professor McGonagall made up her mind and said to Fish, who was still pulling Errol: "You can go there now. Do you want to use Floo powder or let Comey take you there directly?"
"Hmm..."ω
Fish hugged his chest and fell into distress.
Whether it was Apparition or Floo powder, it didn't feel good. Fish didn't like it.
So...
"Can I ride Wuwu to meow?" (●ΦωΦ●)
"Ride Wuwu?"
Professor McGonagall didn't refuse at the first time, but began to hesitate.
Professor McGonagall knew the name of Wuwu, the Thestral. After all, it was the patriarch of the Hogwarts Thestrals, and was often mentioned by Fish, so its safety was still guaranteed.
However, the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, where the Burrow was located, was located in Devonshire. It was not a complete wizard village like Hogsmeade. There were many Muggles and wizards living together, so if Fish flew directly on the Thestrals, there was still a risk of being discovered.
After thinking for a moment, Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Okay, but I have to go with you first."
She needed to use the Disillusionment Charm to hide Fish and Wuwu. The Thestrals' invisibility was for people who had seen and understood death, so Muggles might also see them.
Of course, it was also possible to let Comey cast the Disillusionment Charm directly, but Professor McGonagall wanted to find Molly by the way to talk about Fish's food expenses.
"Great!" (●ΦωΦ●)
Fish cheered, and suddenly thought of something, and looked at Professor McGonagall warily.
"Minerva, are you trying to secretly take Fish's homework over there?"
Then he saw that Professor McGonagall's eyes became dangerous.
"Meow!"
Fish's tail exploded instantly, and he hurriedly ran out the door.
"I'm going to the Forbidden Forest to find Wuwu!" ()
Looking at the little cat slipping out of the house unhappily, Professor McGonagall got up and went to the kitchen, packing up some rare ingredients and seasonings, intending to take them directly over later.
After a while, Fish flew back on Wuwu, followed by Twilight Sparkle, who had grown up a lot.
Then Professor McGonagall sat behind Fish, and Comey climbed onto Twilight Sparkle's back. The two thestrals, one big and one small, flapped their wings together and flew to Devonshire, where the Burrow was located.
…
"Why hasn't Fish come yet?"
The Weasley family gathered in front of the fireplace early, waiting for Fish's arrival.
"Could it be that Errol has a problem again?"
Fred complained to Percy beside him: "I said that Hermes should be sent to deliver the letter."
Hermes was the owl that Arthur and Molly rewarded Percy with after he became a prefect, but Percy seemed to have been using it to deliver letters this summer, and he was so mysterious that no one knew what he was doing.
"That, that's because Hermes is not here... I also said that you can wait for it to come back before delivering the letter to Fish. It was you who was so anxious to send Errol out."
Percy first stammered and prevaricated, and then refuted with confidence.
"Stop arguing! Wait quietly!"
Molly Weasley, who holds the power of life and death in the Weasley family, slapped the table and interrupted the quarrel between the two brothers.
Then she looked at Ron again, "Has Harry still not replied to your letter?"
Compared to Fish, whom she had never met, Molly was more concerned about the boy who survived.
Ron shrugged and replied helplessly, "No, I was thinking about celebrating his birthday with him in a few days, but Harry never replied. I don't know what's going on with him."
"We also borrowed Hermes from Percy, but he always disagreed."
Fred brought the topic back. Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley was not provoked by him. Instead, she glared at him and told him to shut up.
Fred, who was suppressed by force, curled his lips and communicated silently with George through his mouth.
[You see, mom always favors Percy. ]
[Who made the model Percy a good baby of mom? ]
After the unscrupulous twins ridiculed Percy as usual, they laughed silently in a vicious manner.
At this moment, Ginny, who had been silent, suddenly pointed out the window and said, "It seems something has fallen into the yard just now."
Then, Fish's loud shout rang out from outside, "Ron! I'm here to play with you, meow!"
A group of people hurried to the window and stuck their heads out, only to see three figures, one big and two small, standing in their yard.
And Mrs. Weasley saw more, there were two black thestrals, one big and one small, beside them.
"Long time no see, Molly."
Professor McGonagall smiled and greeted Mrs. Weasley. She and Molly were both members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they were very familiar with each other.
"Professor McGonagall, you're here too," Mrs. Weasley responded with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you!"
A moment later, the door of the Burrow opened, and Molly came out with a group of red-haired children.
"Oh my god! You're so cute!"
Mrs. Weasley ran to Professor McGonagall and didn't continue to greet her. Instead, she looked at Fish with shining eyes, then opened her arms and wanted to hug him.
"Meow!"
The experienced Fish dodged Mrs. Weasley's "attack" with a backward jump, and then quickly hid behind Professor McGonagall.

"Mom, you scared him."
Fred reminded him, shrugged helplessly at George and Ron, and sighed: "Sure enough, with Fish coming, our family status will decline again."
Mrs. Weasley glared at him secretly, then smiled awkwardly at Professor McGonagall, explaining: "Sorry, I seem to be too excited just now."
Professor McGonagall said calmly that she had long been accustomed to the fact that her kittens were lovable, but she just hoped that Molly would not have too much headache in the days to come.
After all, they already have a pair of restless twins in their family, and with Fish...tsk tsk...
Professor McGonagall subconsciously cast a pitying look at Mrs. Weasley.
Molly: "???"
