The First Stop After the Journey Ended
Still aboard the Vasa, Wizet and his companions finally returned home.
Molly Weasley helped take good care of the garden during our trip to Sweden.
After putting down their suitcases, Wizet and Luna immediately headed to the Burrow with their souvenirs.
As they walked down the street, they unexpectedly encountered the Weasley twins coming from the opposite direction.
The Weasley twins and a girl walked together, chatting and laughing.
The girl also lived in the Ottery St Catchpole, was a Muggle, and worked at the village's Paper Shop.
Things like Wizet's notebooks, as well as Luna's sketchbooks and paintbrushes, were all bought from Paper Shop.
The parchment and quills used for Hogwarts homework and exams had to be purchased in Diagon Alley.
Fred, beaming with excitement, caught a glimpse of something approaching out of the corner of his eye.
His expression suddenly changed, and he kept giving Wizet and Luna meaningful glances.
Throughout the journey, Wizet maintained Levitation Charm to keep the souvenir package behind him, saving energy.
Fred would give him a look, indicating that there were Muggle girls around, and to avoid Anti-Statute of Secrecy, the girls shouldn't see the floating letter package.
Seeing Fred's expression, Wizet immediately took out a piece of parchment and turned it into a backpack.
Luna casually opened her backpack and shoved the souvenir bundle inside.
The two worked together very smoothly, completing the action in the blink of an eye.
Following Fred's gaze, the girl saw Wizet and Luna, and waved to them, saying, "It's been a while since I've seen you. Have you been on a long trip?"
Wizet smiled and nodded. "Yes, I just got back."
The girl glanced at Fred and George, smiled slightly, and said, "You two chat! I'm going back to the store."
"Goodbye!" Fred and George waved goodbye as they watched the girl's retreating figure, their expressions showing a hint of reluctance.
They only put their hands down when the girl walked down the slope and her figure was hidden by the grass.
Fred put his arm around Wizet's shoulder. "Not bad! Much better than my brother, so skilled with the Levitation Charm!"
George added, "His Transfiguration is also very skillful; he truly deserves to be our best materials consultant!"
He suddenly noticed Wizet's bracelet and exclaimed in a drawn-out, exaggerated voice, "Oh my! What a beautiful bracelet!"
"Wow! Such beautiful bracelets, and there's even a pair!" Fred's eyes darted around as he noticed the identical bracelet on Luna's wrist.
The Weasley twins blinked frantically and exclaimed in unison, "You... you must have had a... truly unforgettable trip!"
"It was an unforgettable trip," Wizet said, recalling her trip to Sweden.
Luna nodded, her smile like a water lily quietly blooming.
The similar reactions of the two twins made the Weasley twins feel melancholy.
They all looked at the small slope in unison and sighed in unison, "We're so envious! We want to travel too."
For them, melancholy comes quickly and goes even faster.
Fred focused his attention on the souvenir package. "Speaking of travel... this should contain local specialties, right?"
"Is there anything particularly strange... we can't talk about it here?" George became wary, glanced around, and then lowered his voice, "Let's go! We're going to the garage!"
Wizet and Luna exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and decided to follow George and Fred, taking a detour.
The Burrow is at least six stories high, resembling a collection of several house styles, and its crooked shape makes it look like a "house tree".
At the bottom is a spacious medieval-style house, with a two-story house "growing" out halfway up the roof, and another two-story house extending out from the side.
Such a breathtaking and audacious building would likely collapse easily without the support of magic.
As soon as he approached the Burrow, Wizet heard a clanging sound coming from the ceiling, as if someone was banging on a water pipe.
Fred chuckled and explained, "That's the Ghoul banging on something. It likes to do that whenever the house gets too quiet!"
George laughed too, "Actually, it happens in the middle of the night too... hehe!"
Wizet was actually aware of how much of a clown the twins were.
He glanced up to the highest point and asked tentatively, "They even bang pipes at night... Does Ron live with Ghoul?"
Fred shook his head and said confidently, "Tsk tsk tsk... I guessed it right away."
George added, "They didn't exactly live together. Ron lived on the sixth floor, Ghoul lived in the attic above that."
Wizet and her group bypassed the Burrow and went into a small garage next door.
In the dimly lit garage, Wizet saw something utterly unmagical—a light green Ford car.
He wasn't familiar with car models, but he could tell it was Ford sedan because of the Ford logo on the front.
Wizet suddenly remembered that he had seen this car appear in a fan-made clip of Harry Potter.
However, the scene was quite tragic. The car crashed into the Whomping Willow at Hogwarts and was subsequently beaten up by the Whomping Willow.
Regardless, the fact that this Ford car can fly is still quite magical.
Luna was very curious about the small garage, so she put her hands behind her back and toured it with great interest.
"You scared me to death! I thought it was Mom!" Ron poked his head out from under the car, propping himself up on his arms. "Wizet! Long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Wizet smiled slightly, noticing Ron constantly brushing the dust off his clothes. "Scourgify!"
Ron opened his arms to make sure all the dust was gone, then smiled and thanked him, "Hehe! Thanks!"
After helping to clean the dust, Wizet asked, "Are you also planning a trip? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Of course not, we have more important things to do!" Fred shook his head and said.
"And it was Ron suggested it!" George pinched his nose and snorted as if blowing his nose.
He said in a choked voice, "Oh! Our little brother has finally grown up! He can come up with amazing ideas!"
After speaking, George turned to look at Ron beside him.
Ron felt his brothers' gazes, and a blush spread from the base of his ears.
He coughed lightly, his expression turning serious, "I know something very serious! Harry seems to have vanished into thin air!"
"We haven't been able to get in touch with him since summer vacation! He hasn't replied to a single letter! I sent him twelve letters! And he hasn't answered a single one!"
At Hogwarts, Ron and Harry were inseparable best friends, so this situation is quite unusual.
Ron's tone grew increasingly worried, causing Wizet to frown slightly. "Are they really that strict?"
On the train, Harry talked about his experiences, saying that the two relatives who adopted him treated him very badly.
Ron shrugged. "We don't really know the specifics... but Harry is definitely not doing well right now!"
"That's why we came here, intending to check the car. Then we'll drive over tonight to find him and bring him here first!"
