During the last period of summer vacation, everyone finally lived a relatively peaceful life. X23US. COM updates the fastest
Since the unsuccessful attack on Burns' house, there has been much less movement on Voldemort's side. Although various abnormal events in the magic world are still continuing, they are obviously much less than before.
Voldemort seemed to be brewing something.
Because of this, the members of the Order of the Phoenix felt a lot easier. At least, daily patrols and investigations must be much safer and freer than fighting Death Eaters.
As for the children who still lived in Black's old house, the little days were more relaxed and happy.
Of course, during this leisurely life, Hermione and Ron, who were full of urgency in their hearts, did not relax much.
Not to mention Hermione, who has always been studious and self-conscious, this time Ron is obviously going to work harder than ever. The two of them often sit in the reception room and learn all kinds of magic knowledge, and they are also urging each other!
Oh! But in most cases, it is Hermione who urges Ron to study more.
This situation continued steadily until the last day of the holiday, that is, the day when I received the Hogwarts start notice and book list.
That morning, Hermione and Ron, who had just had breakfast, were in the reception room guarding a pile of books and materials, conducting endless study and practice.
Just as Ron was agonizing over a textbook from last semester, his sister Ginny suddenly ran in from outside with some envelopes in her hand.
"The bibliography is here!" Ginny put the letters from the two on the long table, and then ran out excitedly.
"It's finally here?" Ron complained casually as he handed one of the letters to Hermione, "I thought they all forgot about it! In previous years, it would have come already?"
Hermione gently put down the quill in her hand, then reached out to take the envelope, and carefully opened it along the seal.
As usual, there were two brand new parchment papers inside the envelope: one was of course to remind the little wizards that the school would officially start on September 1st, and the other was the specific bibliography that would be added this school year.
"There are three new books this year...huh?" Hermione looked at the book list and suddenly read strangely, "...'Please buy this book at the librarian's counter after you arrive at school.
The book costs 1 Galleon', and, why the book"
"Snapped!"
After a sudden explosion, Fred and George suddenly appeared beside Ron and Hermione, interrupting Hermione's soliloquy.
Regarding the fact that the twin brothers used Apparition wherever they went, everyone has actually gotten used to it during this period of time, at least they will not be surprised by them every time.
"We're wondering who actually ordered the Slinka book," Fred shrugged.
"This means that Dumbledore has found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." George continued.
"Yes! It's almost time to find it..." Fred nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione turned her head, wondering.
"Look!" Fred spread his hands and explained, "Professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts have to change every year, and the past few years have been terrible, especially when the mysterious man attacked Hogwarts twice in a row. After this..."
"...It's not easy to find a teacher who is willing to teach at Hogwarts!" George continued.
"Oh, speaking of it, it seems to be true." Hermione couldn't help but nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"I just wish I could have an interesting teacher!" Fred said with a chuckle.
"Ron, what's the matter with you?"
When Fred showed a wicked smile, George found that Ron was sitting motionless in the chair, staring at the parchment with his mouth half open.
"Huh?" Fred put away his smirk, turned his head to look at Ron, "Hey! Why are you in a daze?"
Seeing that Ron still didn't respond, Fred walked behind him impatiently, bent over and looked at the parchment in Ron's hand.
Immediately afterwards, Fred also widened his eyes in surprise.
"Prefect...prefect?" Fred repeated in an unbelievably high voice.
Upon hearing this, George on the side immediately snatched the envelope from Ron's hand, then shook it upside down. Hermione, who had just turned her head, suddenly saw that a small gold and red thing fell into the palm of his hand.
"How is that possible?" George muttered with his mouth tilted.
"There must be something wrong!" Fred simply snatched the letter, held it up high and checked it over and over again, "Although Ron really worked hard this holiday, it was only during this summer vacation? "
"I thought it must be Harry!" George continued. "Killing the dragon, winning the three-final match...what can't make him a prefect?"
While talking, the two put their hands on Ron's left and right shoulders at the same time, and looked at him with disdain.
"Prefect? Mommy's little Ronnie 1 is a prefect?" Fred said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh, mom must be talking again!" George also sighed.
George picked up the prefect badge with his little finger, and stuffed it back into Ron's hand as if he was keeping away from something dirty.
At this moment, Hermione let out a soft "ah".
Fred and George immediately turned their attention to her, and then they saw Hermione also poured a badge from her envelope.
Just now Hermione read the book first, because she thought that the start of school notice was just a general reminder to the students that it was time to go to school!
"That's right!" cried Fred.
"No one is more suitable than you, Hermione!" George also deliberately loudly said.
Two prefect badges of Gryffindor College are so concentrated in this reception room, but it seems so emotional.
Those were two exquisite badges with the Gryffindor lion on them, and there was a big "p" on the lion's body, exactly the same as the one Percy used to wear on his chest to show off.
"You're supposed to have it, unlike Ron..." "That's inexplicable."
Fred and George continued to yell and irritate their brother, as if Ron's bad luck would make them really happy.
But Ron was not angry, not even a rebuttal. He just carefully placed his prefect badge on the table, then sighed depressingly.
"You're right, I really shouldn't have it... Dumbledore must have sent it by mistake?"
"Dumbledore can't make a mistake about this kind of thing." Hermione hurriedly said, "Look, aren't you working hard now? Besides, being able to become a prefect means that Dumbledore also thinks you must be fine!"
"Uh... when did you become so honest?" Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Fred couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, "Hermione is right, you really... well, you worked really hard this summer vacation. of."
"Yes, yes, you worked hard!" George also patted Ron on the back and said.
At this time, Mrs. Weasley also came in from the door, and said while wiping her hands, "Ginny said the book list is here, give it to me, and I'll go to Diagon Alley to buy the books in the afternoon..."
"...you guys pack and pack at home... Ron, I have to buy you another pair of pajamas, and this one is at least six inches shorter... I can't believe how you've grown so fast... what do you want color?"
"Buy gold and red," laughed Fred, "to go with his badge!"
"For what?" Mrs. Weasley didn't seem to hear clearly.
"His badge!" said George with a strange expression. "His shiny, round, gold and red prefect badge."
Mrs. Weasley seemed to be a little lost in her mind. She subconsciously looked at the table in front of Ron, and there happened to be a small gold and red thing there.
"Ron... could it be... but... yours? Really?"
Mrs. Weasley screamed and ran to Ron, pushed Fred away who was in the way, and held the prefect badge in her hand like a treasure.
"I really... can't believe it! Merlin! Ron... that's great! Prefect! Every one of my children is a prefect!"
"What are George and me?" Fred said angrily.
"Maybe it's the neighbor next door or something?" George snorted sullenly.
Mrs. Weasley ignored the pair of clowns, she put her arms around Ron's head excitedly, and couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
When Mrs. Weasley kept kissing Ron with a smile on her face, Hermione put the book list in front of her eyes again, showing a puzzled expression again.
There are three new books to buy on the book list for this school year. They are "Standard Spells, Level 5" by Miranda Gosack, "The Theory of Magical Defense" by Wilbert Slinka, and an unpublished book. "Mysteries of the Ancient Runes" with authorship indicated.
Moreover, the last book was specifically informed that it needs to be purchased in the school library.
As far as Hermione knew, Hogwarts never provided textbooks, and all needed books had to be ordered from the bookstore, but this year seemed to be a little different.
"Is Professor Babling going to teach something new?" Hermione couldn't help muttering.
"Mom! Don't do this! Take control!"
On the other hand, Ron blushed and tried to push his over-excited mother away a little. He was really embarrassed to be kissed by his mother on the face in front of Hermione.
"So, what would you like, little Ronnie? We bought Percy an owl, but of course...you've got pigs."
"What, what?" Ron couldn't believe his ears.
"You should be rewarded!" Mrs. Weasley gave Ron a rare doting look.
"Oh! A new sweep" Ron blurted out almost subconsciously, but then stopped, "Uh... no, I mean Mom, can I ask you something?") Download free reading device!!
