Chapter 133: Dancing on the Edge of the Law

Aaron looked at Arthur Weasley who was reluctant but had to give in under Molly's pressure. He felt a little funny and stopped Molly's idea.

"No need to dismantle the carport. I'm just a guest. There's no need to damage Weasley's private property for me."

"Really?" Arthur was a little excited, but soon calmed down. "I'm quite relieved that you have this idea, but where will you live in this case?"

"I brought it." Aaron picked up Abe and took out a bunch of accessories from his pocket in front of everyone.

"Is this a tent?" Harry looked at Aaron in astonishment, "You actually brought a tent with you?"

"Running away is a big deal, so it's better to prepare for a rainy day.

If no one takes me in, I'll have to sleep outdoors, so a tent is a must."

"That's great." Ron said, "We'll help you set it up later."

"The tent is not important." Arthur looked at Abe deeply, his eyes slowly shifting from the clear eyes to its pocket, "The Traceless Extension Charm cannot be used for private purposes, and its pocket... is considered illegal to use this spell!"

"Dad!" Fred rolled his eyes, "There's no need to be here "If you don't say anything, no one will know about it."

"Besides," George added, "your car is also... woo..."

Fred covered George's mouth halfway through his speech. When he broke free, he was met with Aaron's playful eyes and coughed immediately, "Aren't flying cars also banned by the Ministry of Magic?"

"Uh..." Arthur forced a smile, "I think I explained that this is not illegal. There is a loophole in the law. As long as you don't use it to fly..."

"I know." Aaron raised his hand immediately, "Killing people with a wand is illegal, but owning a wand is not."

Snap!

Arthur clapped his hands, "Yes, that's what I mean. You understand me."

"Humph! You're really trying hard to get around the loopholes in the law." Mrs. Weasley put her hands on her hips, looking unhappy, but when she looked at Aaron, she put on a completely different smile, "You're a good kid, don't learn from him."

"In fact, many people are doing this kind of thing." Arthur explained, "As long as they are not caught, everyone will turn a blind eye.

After all, it's good to leave a line for others so that we can meet again in the future, right!"

Hearing this, Aaron nodded in agreement.

Although he suspected that Mr. Weasley's words implied that he should not report, it was indeed the truth.

The law is naturally effective, but the law cannot restrain everyone, otherwise the world would have been peaceful long ago, and there would be no crimes.

What's more, the wizarding world advocates that the strong are respected. The Ministry of Magic can restrain most wizards, but it has to give a certain respect to those who are extremely powerful.

As for powerful people like Dumbledore or Voldemort who are at the top of the magic world, the Ministry of Magic can't control them at all. Unless they are voluntarily bound, they have to be provided for wherever they go.

"The place to live is settled, but..." George hesitated for a while, "I want to ask, do you need a quilt?

The weather has turned cold recently, and you live in a tent. It's easy to catch a cold without a quilt."

"That's right.

My quilt was given to Harry, and the quilts for both of you are only enough for yourselves, Ginny..."

Speaking of this, Ron immediately covered his mouth, but looking at the murderous eyes of the people around him, he was also very uneasy in his heart, "I mean, how about giving Percy's quilt? Anyway, he can't use so much by himself."

"We agree."

George and Fred said at the same time.

"Okay!" Molly sighed, "This may be the only way at the moment. I'll go and talk to him later."

"Maybe not." Aaron said, and then took the magic carpet out of Abe's pocket.

"This, this, is this a flying blanket?" Arthur immediately leaned over, his eyes almost touching the dark blue blanket, "Yes, it's the real thing, and it's the best of the best.

This thing is banned by the Ministry of Magic, but it's banned repeatedly, I've always wanted to get one."

"Arthur!" Molly glared at him fiercely, and Arthur immediately retreated to his seat, "Ahem! Aaron, I have to remind you a few words, some magic props can't be used so ostentatiously."

"Understand, I understand the reason.

This thing is just taken out for entertainment when no one is around." Aaron said and gave Arthur a look, "Actually, I used it when I was in Hogwarts, but it was Christmas vacation at that time, and it felt good to sit on it and overlook the castle when it snowed."

"Great, this is much better than the magic broom." Fred said, "You promised to let us see it just now."

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word." Aaron spread out a small part of the blanket, "Actually, this thing is still very warm, it can completely replace the quilt."

Hearing this, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

The cost of a magic carpet is much higher than that of a flying broom, and this one looks like a limited edition, and its value must be several times higher.

Using such a luxurious blanket as a quilt is really a bit hurtful to the self-esteem of the poor.

After a few seconds of silence, Arthur slowly said: "You guys go and help Aaron set up the tent first, and then come to have lunch.

Molly, I think you have to make one more portion today."

"Okay, no problem."

"That..." Aaron slowly raised his right hand, "Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, can you please prepare one more portion for my cat."

Molly looked at the white cat next to Aaron, and her heart almost melted.

How can there be such a cute cat? Among the animals she has seen, only Dumbledore's phoenix can compare.

"No problem." Molly agreed immediately.

It's just a cute pet, how much can it eat?

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and remembered how much Abe ate at Hogwarts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mom!" Ron said, "Listen to me, prepare more!

This... cat is not an ordinary eater, its appetite may be bigger than mine."

"It's no exaggeration..." Harry added, "We all together don't eat as much as it does."

"Are you kidding?"

"This is not a joke, this is the truth, Mrs. Weasley." Harry glanced at Abe, "Its size is not proportional to its exaggerated appetite."

"It seems so." George said, "We also saw it eating in the hall when we were at Hogwarts. If you use one word to describe it...

What's it called, Fred?"

"Um... swallowing everything in its mouth."

Molly was stunned for a moment. She knew that these children would not lie to her, but she felt a little embarrassed.

No woman can watch such a cute thing starve, but the problem is that they don't know if their family's food reserves are enough for it to eat.

"Is this... a magical creature?" Arthur asked in disbelief.

Although it was just a guess, it was almost certain. Ordinary cats don't have such an appetite.

Aaron didn't deny it and patted Abe's dragon head.

It acted cute, and its healing smile instantly reduced Molly's resistance.

She risked it. She couldn't let it starve even if it didn't have enough food. At worst, she could go to the village to stock up some more.

"Oh my God!" Weasley patted his forehead speechlessly, "The traceless extension spell, the flying carpet, the magical creatures, these together might be enough for you to travel to Azkaban."

"No." Aaron said seriously.

"My family prepared the Traceless Extension Charm, and the Ministry of Magic should have reported it, but no one knows about it.

It's true that Abe is a magical animal, but I have a letter of guarantee that is strong enough to keep it legally.

Of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better, so that a lot of unnecessary trouble can be avoided.

As for the magic carpet, I don't think the Ministry of Magic should be so serious about the heir of a wizard family for such a small matter!"

Arthur was silent, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Dad is envious." George smiled.

"Indeed." Fred shrugged, "I envy you for exploiting the loopholes in the law so openly."

"Shut up." Molly glared at her two sons fiercely, "If you have the idea of ​​jumping back and forth on the edge of the law, I will break your legs first."

George and Fred shrank their necks. They are usually very jumpy, but in front of the furious Mrs. Weasley, they are just kittens and dare not have any temper.

"Aaron, go set up the tent first. I will prepare Abe's share."

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley.

But I have also been inconsiderate. Let's prepare our own meals! I will give you the money for the ingredients first." Aaron said politely, and then poured out more than half of the gold galleons in his backpack.

Swish!

Hundreds of golden coins with dragon patterns were piled on the table, and then there was a sound of people sucking in cold air, and the temperature in the room rose a little bit inexplicably.

It's not that Weasley has never seen so much money, but their family's expenses are also high, and they have always been struggling on the poverty line, so they didn't save much.

"No." Molly turned her eyes to other places with difficulty, "It's just the ingredients, this is too much."

"Maybe I didn't explain it clearly just now, Mrs. Weasley." Aaron scratched his head shyly, "Don't you have pigs, chickens, and fish in your yard?

What I want is these fresh meats, and if nothing unexpected happens, I may also need pots and pans, so...this money is really not much.

Of course, if it's not enough, I will make up for it."
