Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 53 Christmas at the Burrow

In the end, Harry's confinement was ruined along with Dumbledore's lessons.

Because Dumbledore had something to do during the Christmas holidays, he arranged for Harry to spend Christmas at the Weasleys.

After telling Harry the news, Professor McGonagall reminded him sternly: "Your confinement will not be cancelled, it will just be postponed. We will arrange the time before the end of the Christmas vacation."

So on Christmas morning, Harry and Ron sat on the small bench in the corner of the kitchen, lowering their heads to peel the cabbage for Mrs. Weasley.

This was Mrs. Weasley's punishment for the two of them: she usually waved her wand, and then the kitchen knife would move by itself to process the ingredients.

However, Mrs. Weasley didn't seem to know much about what Harry and the others were doing: the content of Mrs. Weasley's rant to Ron was that the three of them violated school rules together, got into a fight with Malfoy in school, and almost ended up on Christmas Day. Sectional confinement.

Harry didn't know who told Mrs. Weasley that, and he felt very embarrassed.

Because Harry felt that the problem was only his problem, that he almost killed Malfoy. As for Ron, he was just a stone statue next to him, and Hermione only came over after everything was over.

Of course Ron and Hermione stopped Harry from confessing to Mrs. Weasley for the simple reason that if Harry really said that, Mrs. Weasley would be worried to death, even though everything would have ended long ago and the result would not be considered bad.

Hermione and Ginny were outside the kitchen, Harry and I didn't know what they were doing, probably helping, and Mrs. Weasley was with two girls.

As if his hands were unbearably sore, Ron sighed: "It would be great if we could use magic here."

Harry smiled helplessly: "Don't think, if we use magic spells here, people from the Ministry of Magic will rush in."

Ron nodded: "I know, I know...but I have never done anything like this. How do Muggles survive?"

Harry was about to say something when he heard the twins' voices.

"I heard you almost turned the Malfoy pups into a puddle, Harry?"

"Even by Gryffindor standards, it's a bit too strong. Can the Quidditch captain actually bring about such a big change?"

The twins walked next to Harry and the two and sighed seriously: "I wish I had known we would have run for captain in seventh grade."

Harry looked at the two people a little confused: "How do you know?"

The twins looked matter-of-fact: "Of course dad told us. Dumbledore made a special trip to say that you and Hermione were going to spend Christmas here. Mom almost went crazy, but it seems that she has calmed down now. "

Harry discovered the problem: "Mrs. Weasley knows what I did?"

The twins nodded: "Of course."

Harry regretted it again.

He knew that Mrs. Weasley was worried about him, and in order to prevent herself from worrying, she deliberately pretended to know nothing.

Ron looked at Harry and smiled: "Don't worry, mom must not take it seriously, otherwise he will definitely leave these things to me alone."

Harry didn't feel any better because of these words. He shook his head with complicated emotions, and then the knife in his hand left a cut on his finger.

The twins shook their heads helplessly: "Okay, we've distracted you."

"Mom is going to use this excuse to cause us some trouble again."

Speaking of which, one of the twins, Harry couldn't tell whether it was George or Fred, raised his wand and pointed it at Harry's wound, then slowly chanted the spell.

“Heal as before, heal as before…heal as before.”

The cut on Harry's finger healed.

He looked at his fingers in surprise, then nodded: "Where did you learn this spell?"

The twins smiled and shook their heads: "I forgot about it a long time ago."

"You know that we were studying the prank curse, but Lian Lu Ke..."

Just when one twin was about to spill the beans, the other gave him a hard elbow.

"oh!"

"Feel sorry……"

I don't know if it was George or Fred. He lowered his head and coughed twice, then shook his head helplessly: "This matter must be kept secret."

"In short, we know a lot of magic spells, probably only..."

"Knows a little less than Professor Flitwick."

The twins looked at each other and said, "Maybe Dumbledore, too. Well, we are real experts in Charms."

Ron shook his head helplessly: "You know a lot of magic spells, but are those magic spells useful? You should have forgotten all the ones that are not pranks, right?"

The twins nodded smugly, "It's like tidying up the attic, Ron, my brother."

"You are called stupid by others because you are unwilling to clear your brain of unnecessary garbage."

"Of course, it's also possible that there's nothing in your brain to begin with, so there's no need to clean it up."

Ron smiled.

"So, do you have anything in your attic that will help you win a game of Quidditch?"

The twins fell silent.

They looked at Ron together, and then nodded slowly: "This is indeed remarkable."

"It's so gratifying that you've finally grown up, and it's all thanks to us."

Ron nodded: "If you continue to stay here, mother will come back."

The twins sighed longly: "Oh, now you have learned how to drive us away..."

Then they turned and walked towards the door together: "I really miss the past, Ron..."

Then they walked out of the kitchen together.

Ron lowered his head with a smile, then looked at Harry and shook his head: "They haven't had the chance to play Quidditch for a long time. Now I can easily beat the two of them combined."

Harry smiled helplessly, then shook his head: "Are you really not bragging?"

Ron smiled confidently: "We can have a game sometime."

During the dinner, many people that Harry didn't expect came to the Burrow.

Sirius Black was with Lupin, and to Harry's surprise Tonks was with them, as were Lu Ke and Johanna.

Harry felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Lu Ke, but soon he didn't think so at all.

Mrs. Weasley's task for the two Harrys was not just to punish them. She did prepare a very sumptuous dinner.

Of the entire Weasley family, only Charlie was absent. The other five brothers and the youngest sister Ginny were all sitting around the table. Even Percy, who was always working overtime, arrived in time with Mr. Weasley.

They sat together, talking, laughing, eating and drinking under the light, and Harry felt that he could forget all the bad memories.

"Merry Christmas."
