Ron ultimately did not end up at the dinner table.

However, he was not hungry.

At the table, Fred and George kept secretly tossing him snacks—pies, chicken legs, and even a bowl of soup.

However, George had cast a spell on the soup, so that it landed safely in Ron's hands.

This left Harry, who had just momentarily wanted to see Ron make a fool of himself, somewhat disappointed.

These actions were actually noticed by Mrs. Weasley.

However, she didn't say much.

Instead, they subtly placed Ron's favorite dishes next to Fred and George's when serving the food.

"Ginny, what's wrong with your mother?"

"Why does she seem like a completely different person as soon as your father comes back?" Harry whispered in Ginny's ear.

"It itches," Ginny whispered, her face flushed with embarrassment.

This is at the dining table.

Putting everything else aside, Bill would glance at them from time to time.

However, Harry's question still aroused Ginny's suspicion.

Ron's mistake this time wasn't actually that big.

But Harry's sudden disappearance just happened not long ago.

Ron and Harry pulled another silly stunt.

No wonder Mom was angry.

Logically speaking, even if Dad came back with good news, Mom shouldn't give Ron a friendly look.

Let alone feeding him.

Ginny shook her head, indicating to Harry that she didn't know.

She looked closely at her mother.

That's strange. Very strange.

Ginny then realized something.

That was the expression on Mom's face, somewhat like someone who had gotten their revenge.

Just like when she was a child, after Aunt Muriel was pranked by Fred and George, Aunt Muriel decided never to come to their house again and privately showed her joy.

This time it has to be much bigger.

Ginny looked at her father, the culprit, and sure enough, he was acting very strangely.

It seemed like there was some news he wanted to share, but he didn't dare to say it.

He kept glancing at his mother.

This is a picture of him looking hesitant and reluctant to speak when he first invented a car that could fly, three years ago, when he wanted to share it with his family.

"Dad, what are you trying to say?" Charlie was usually the most silent in the Weasley, seemed to have also noticed something.

He is not as simple as his honest appearance suggests.

"Is Dad going to invite Aunt Muriel again?"

"No way! She'll definitely give us a hard time if she comes!" said Fred and George.

"Dad, you didn't get promoted again, did you?" This was from Percy, a former employee.

"What's wrong?" Bill's attention was completely focused on Harry and Ginny flirting, and he only then came to his senses.

"Can I come in for dinner now?" asked Ron last.

Harry and Ginny didn't say anything.

They all stared at Mrs. Weasley with their big eyes.

The people at this table who can actually make decisions.

"Molly Weasley?" Mr. Weasley looked at Mrs. Weasley first, as expected.

Seeing that she didn't speak, she added, "Molly Weasley, little trembling?"

"The children are still here!"

"Um, Arthur, you say it."

"And Ron, you can go back to the table and eat now," Mrs. Weasley said, a mixture of shyness and delight.

"Yay!" Ron, oblivious to what was going on and ungrateful for Harry's kindness, sat down next to Harry and gave Fred and George a funny face.

Perhaps this is why Ron has always been targeted by Fred and George.

Harry, whose attention had shifted from Mrs. Weasley, unconsciously thought of this.

"Children!"

"That's right!" Mr. Weasley took a big gulp of sherry.

"You all know that Azkaban has been gone for a long time, right?"

"But the Ministry of Magic still maintains a 24-hour shift system on the North Sea."

Upon hearing this, Bill raised a question, "But didn't Azkaban just vanish into thin air? We've also inexplicably forgotten its exact address."

It's as if it's been protected by the Fidelius Charm.

"This is all thanks to Dumbledore."

"He and that Riddle have been busy with these things recently."

"Finally, the original address of Azkaban was found."

"Although it inexplicably turned into an empty sea, and the entire island disappeared."

"But Dumbledore instructed us to keep an eye on the area and see if we made any further discoveries," Mr. Weasley said smugly.

Dumbledore seemed quite pleased with his discovery.

They are not ashamed at all that the Ministry of Magic is being ordered around by people outside the system.

Although he worked at the Ministry of Magic and even held a high position in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, his manner of speaking made him seem like a complete Dumbledore.

"What discovery?"

"Could it be that Antonin Dolohov's body has been discovered?" Fred and George speculated.

They all knew that before the war ended, their mother's two Fabian Prewett and Gideon Prewett Prewett, were attacked and killed by five Death Eaters.

One of them was Antonin Dolohov.

After Voldemort lost his powers, the Death Eaters, including Dolohov, who had brutally murdered the Fabian Prewett and Gideon Prewett, were imprisoned in Azkaban.

The other four Death Eaters died mysteriously.

Dolohov, however, has managed to survive to this day thanks to his superb magical skills.

"This is just one of the surprises," Mr. Weasley shrugged.

"The other Death Eaters are dead too?"

"Bellatrix Lestrange?" Bill raised his hand.

As the eldest child, he had met the Longbottoms.

Madam Longbottom, one of them, treated him quite well.

If it was Bella, who had driven them mad, and several other Death Eaters who died.

He was willing to cut off his favorite long hair for it.

"Unfortunately, not yet." Seeing that the other children had stopped guessing, Mr. Weasley stopped keeping them in suspense.

He cleared his throat and continued, "The two employees on duty at the time were both Auror, one named Dick and the other named Dax."

"They both graduated a few years ago. I don't know if you two know them," Mr. Weasley said, looking at Bill and Charlie.

"Dick's name is so special. I remember he graduated two years before me and was a student at Hufflepuff."

"But I'm not very familiar with it." Bill shook his head.

"The other one is called Finney Dax."

"I know him. He was Ravenclaw's student. He's famous—because he broke up with his girlfriend right after graduation." Charlie nodded after hearing the full name.

"Then you two can get to know each other. They both have many female relatives of marriageable age." Mr. Weasley immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad!"

"I can do it myself. Please continue with the rest," Bill and Charlie quickly said.

"Alright." Mr. Weasley and his lover exchanged a glance and nodded helplessly.

"To be precise, the two of them found a hunting weapon made from Dolohov's thigh bone on the seabed, as well as rat bones—with signs of human gnaws on them." Mrs. Weasley was standing nearby, finally laughed when her husband said this.
