I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Chapter 455 Percy's Transfiguration

It seemed like everyone had forgotten about the five families.

On Christmas Eve, Lockhart appeared at Silver Hand Press.

This action made the young women who had already heard the news scream.

Wearing a gorgeous brown suit that showed his maturity, Lockhart was holding a pipe in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, because I'm coming."

He walked in front of many book fans and said the classic line from the great wizard Lockhart in the book.

At this moment, the crowd's screams increased by who knows how many decibels.

Even the snow on the eaves was shaken down.

Mrs. Weasley was among them.

Seeing their mother screaming, Ron and Harry looked at Lockhart with disgust.

They really couldn't appreciate what was so good about Lockhart.

Originally Mrs. Weasley didn't want to let them come, but Ron used the excuse that he wanted to help the twins.

The twins' store is so profitable that they are planning to buy the store in Hogsmeade and open a branch.

You have to know that it has only been less than a year since they started working.

The huge profits made the poor boy Ron envious.

Harry didn't feel much about it, as he didn't know much about money.

"Where's Ginny?" Harry asked Ron, paying more attention to Ginny.

Ron looked around and didn't see Ginny, so he said casually, "Let's go to George and Fred's shop?"

He didn't think his sister would disappear or be missing.

After all, Ginny, the lioness, is not someone that anyone can afford to offend.

Harry had been feeling a strange feeling ever since he last held hands with Ginny.

But he had to restrain himself because Ginny was Dean's girlfriend and he was not a shameless person like Blaise.

He deceived himself by attributing that feeling to his care for his brothers and sisters.

Maybe this would make Harry feel better.

Mr. Weasley was very busy, so busy that he had to go to the Ministry of Magic on Christmas Eve.

The disappearance of the five families made everyone in the Order of the Phoenix uneasy.

Barty Sr. announced that it was Voldemort's doing as revenge against those Death Eater families who had not been there when needed.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Voldemort may be cruel, but he would not destroy five families at once.

The subsequent distribution of benefits allowed them to vaguely guess who did it.

But they couldn't be sure.

A man who was about the same size as his son wiped out five families with lightning speed overnight.

Not to mention those who knew his identity, even those who didn't know him didn't believe it.

Kingsley was inquiring about information in the Auror's office, and the others were not idle either.

Old Jack returns to the werewolf community and they all know what happened.

The reliance on Johnny Silverhand has increased even more.

I went to Weasleys Wizard Wheezes and found Ginny there.

Ginny was talking to a Hufflepuff girl about the effects of the Daydream Charm.

After hearing this, the girl walked away with a red face. After a while, she bought one, paid and left.

George said, "Ginny, you should go into business with us."

"Yes, we can give you shares." Fred came over, put his arm around his sister's shoulders, and looked bewitching.

Ron came over and threatened with a sullen face: "Mom will kill you if she finds out."

"Mom won't kill us." George made a face.

"Mom will just kill you, little Ronnie."

Fred gave Ron's nickname, which made him want to use a spell to seal his mouth.

Ron asked, "Harry, how do you do that spell?"

"A tongue-and-throat lock?" Harry replied.

"What is that? It doesn't sound like good magic." George inquired.

Ginny snorted coldly, "Harry, are you still learning the spells in that book?"

Even Fred was surprised. He said, "What book? Harry, you didn't come across any magic props, did you?"

"Nothing." Harry said vaguely.

Fred did not give up, "Harry, spells of unknown origin may be dark magic."

"Come on," said Ron disapprovingly, "just keep scaring me."

Seeing his brother's attitude, Fred was also angry.

In fact, Harry thought similarly. Hermione had said that these handwritten spells might be dark magic that was not allowed by the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't think there was anything good or bad about them.

He also taught Crabbe a lesson with a spell that made his toes grow crazily.

They are here to help, so naturally they won't chat.

Ron just had some opinions. He wanted to come out and play, but ended up working instead.

"Stop complaining," George said. "Give that fat guy over there a bag of dragon roasted chestnuts."

Ron had no choice but to go over and take out the chestnuts that were roasted by the fire dragon model.

Because it was too hot, he even got a piece of skin burned off.

There were many customers at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, especially after the Quidditch match, when many people came in an endless stream after seeing the various props from the shop.

It was not until the afternoon that Harry and his friends had time to rest.

Once again, the twins thought that they could send a job brochure to Hogwarts and hire a few graduates on low wages.

"Okay, I need to go to Knockturn Alley." George winked at Ginny, "I'll leave this place to you."

"Knockturn Alley?" Ron became interested and immediately walked over and said, "Please, don't let me continue to be the damn dragon roasting chestnut officer."

"Well, maybe you could consider becoming a daydream spell salesman?" George sneered.

Ron's face immediately turned red, and Harry also wanted to go to Knockturn Alley.

He had never officially entered Knockturn Alley, and Mrs. Weasley had expressly forbidden him from approaching that place.

Ginny also came on board, and the three of them finally persuaded George to give in.

It was unkind of him to give all the work to Fred.

Fred protested loudly from behind.

Knockturn Alley was not what Harry and the others thought.

Especially Harry, who once accidentally entered Knockturn Alley and was brought out by John.

There wasn't such a wide road in Knockturn Alley back then.

Harry and Ron stared with wide eyes at the drastically changed appearance of Knockturn Alley.

"John did all this?" Harry murmured.

George walked through the Knockturn Gardens between Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley with ease.

They walked all the way to a house with a tin box written on it. George came here to pick up the goods.

A big bald man came out and said with a smile: "George, the same as always?"

"Twenty more Diagon Alley uniforms."

The bald man nodded and agreed. From their conversation, it can be seen that they have a good relationship.

Harry and Ron also wanted to take a walk in Knockturn Alley.

Ginny was attracted by the silver eggshell brought by the witch nearby.

The two men walked out of the tin box, and Harry said, "I remember that place used to be Borgin and Burke's."

He pointed in a direction and happened to see a man walk in.

"Percy?" Harry was stunned and quickly pulled Ron.

Ron also saw Percy walk into the most luxurious store.

They discuss quietly how Percy ended up here.

Just as they were about to go over, George patted them on the head from behind.

"Why, you guys want to go shopping at Silverhand Johnny's store?"

George got a liquorice stick from the bald guy and gave it to Ginny.

"Is that Johnny Silverhand there?"

It was the first time Harry had seen it and he immediately thought of John.

Maybe Percy was going to look for John.

George finished his business and was about to leave. Before leaving, he saw Percy walking out of Johnny Silverhand's store.

Percy saw them and turned to come over here.

"Ginny, George." Percy walked up to them and greeted them.

Ron was upset because his name wasn't on it.

George said exaggeratedly, "Oh my God, it's Director Percy."

Percy had already gotten used to his funny looks.

His stern face softened a little when he saw Ginny.

"I came here to choose gifts for my family." He took out two gift boxes from the blue-speckled paper bag.

Ginny was pleasantly surprised.

Percy looked at his sister, then suddenly turned his gaze to Ron.

"I heard from Draco that you bullied Ginny?"

Percy's look was unfriendly, which made Ron stunned.

Some time had passed since the incident and he had almost forgotten about it.

But Percy hadn't forgotten.

Malfoy described to him in detail everything Ron had said, and there was a possibility that he had exaggerated it, but Ron did scold Ginny.

"Don't blame others for your own inability to do things," Percy said with a straight face, "improve yourself."

Ron got angry when he heard this. What qualifications do you, a member of the Star Society, have to speak for yourself?

But soon, Ron realized that Percy was not only his brother, but also an excellent wizard.

Ron's eyebrows turned white, and he felt himself shrink in height.

If Ron wasn't also Percy's brother, he would have walked out of Knockturn Alley sideways today.

"Don't bully Ginny at school, got it?"

Percy left a few words and turned away.

George patted Ron on the head and said jokingly, "Look at it from a positive perspective. At least he didn't make you a dwarf forever."

Ron was furious.
