Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

After sending the three Harrys back to the Burrow, Charlie quickly returned to the place where he was. When he saw the twins pouting their buttocks and carefully examining the traces on the ground, he resisted the urge to give the beautiful butts two slaps. This was no joke at this moment. moment.

"What did you find?"

Charlie asked as he walked up to the twins.

"A little."

"You don't move."

The twins who blocked Charlie back watched carefully along the rutted track, and after a while they patted the dirt on their hands and stood up.

"Now there's good news and bad news."

"Which one do you want to know first?"

Although the twins with slightly gloomy faces spoke in the same tone as before, it was obvious that they were in the same bad mood at the moment.

"Let's talk about the bad things first." Charlie sighed. As the older brother of these two living treasures, Charlie knew the twins' personalities well. The twins who usually smile would never joke about big things, but if they did, the matter would be serious. There's just something not quite right about sex.

"The bad news is that the car was stolen, as you can see."

Fred had probably never said such idiotic words in his life that made people just want to punch him, but at this moment this sentence could only come out of his mouth.

Looking at Charlie's raised hand, George immediately jumped up and slapped Fred on the back of the head first. Then he immediately said: "If we are two-headed trolls, Fred, you must be the one responsible for saying stupid things." Brain.”

"But we have good news."

George, who immediately ran to Charlie for shelter, dodged a flying kick from Fred's brother.

"The car was driven away. We found footprints left on the door and a second rut mark left when the car drove away."

"Maybe we are familiar with dad's car, but Charlie, you need to remember." Fred, who failed to avenge his slap, stopped angrily and took over George's words.

"This is the magical world. I swear, except for dad and us, there won't be any wizards who happen to be able to drive Muggle vehicles. They happened to take a fancy to this old Ford car and happened to drive it away, and in the Minutes before we got here.”

"Are you sure?"

Charlie, who was a little surprised, opened his eyes wide and was quite surprised.

"Yeah, that's easy."

Fred pointed to the ground in front of him, and George, who was about to take over the conversation and point out the position to Charlie, just raised his butt and landed on it with a flying kick.

"Ahem~"

Pretending to be nonchalant, Fred cleared his throat. The twins' revenge never happened overnight, but was always avenged on the spot.

"There are very obvious signs here. Although the driver can drive, his skills are not good. I guess dad's car must have let out a huge black fart. Smell it carefully. You might still be able to smell it now. Corner There is still some black ash on the broken stone bricks. If it had been longer, the black ash would have been blown away by the wind."

"This man was walking in a hurry. He stepped on the accelerator without putting down the handbrake." George patted his butt and stood up, speaking with a slumped face. In the end, he failed to take advantage of Fred.

"It's as if he knew we were coming. Of course, maybe he had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to stay long."

"Although the traces at the scene now only tell us this..."

The twins suddenly closed their mouths, and after a moment of silence, they all looked at Charlie.

"But I want to ask you, Charlie, did you see Ron when you came home?"

"How could it be Ron? It's impossible, right!" In Charlie's mind, although Ron was not that smart and was clumsy, but because of this, Charlie didn't think he would do such a bold thing.

"Because the stupid thief left footprints, the shoe size cannot be worn by an adult wizard, and it is impossible for us who came by car."

"We really hope it's not him, so you should have seen him when you got home, right?"

"Even if he made a fuss with Draco at home and said things like not letting him in."

The twins' expressions slowly solidified when they looked at Charlie with the last glimmer of hope. What they saw was Charlie shaking his head.

"Is it possible that Ron went out to find someone to play with? For example..."

Charlie, who was a little stuck for a moment, was speechless. Although there were several wizards settled near the village of Ottery Saint Catchpole where his home was located,...

"Is it Luna from the Lovegood family? Or Ced from the Diggory family? Or the Fawcett family...their child is only four or five years old."

"We have to admit one thing. Maybe Ron has friends in school, but during the holidays, Ron has no place to go unless he goes to the Muggle village to play with those children."

"Although the owl sent a report card with 5 P's (failed), which broke our family record, we just thought he failed the first-grade exam because he was too playful. Anyone who has read the book can get a passing A, right?"

"But what I didn't expect is that he is really stupid. Even if he makes trouble at home, he actually-"

A 'pop' sound interrupted the twins' words, and Bill, who had gone to the Ministry of Magic to find Mr. Weasley, returned to the scene.

"It has been found."

Bill said with a gloomy face, "The driver and dad's car have been found."

"where?"

The three spoke quickly.

"Merlin, please don't let your crow's mouth fail you two."

Charlie muttered worriedly.

"In a Muggle suburb 45 miles away, when I found Dad and told him that the car was lost, within a few minutes, Dad received a notice asking him to cooperate with the Amnesia Command to deal with a serious abuse of Muggle objects. ACCIDENT."

"Dad's car crashed into a three-story house, tearing off half of the roof of the Muggle house. Fifteen Muggles saw the car suddenly fall from the sky. I just came back from there. "

"Dad recognized the cause of the accident at a glance. That guy Ron didn't pull the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator, so the engine blew up."

"Perhaps I should be lucky. Although my father used a traceless stretching spell on the back seat and trunk, they were empty. After the spell failed, the car was only pushed open by the extended seat. Rear door....

Otherwise, Ron would not have suffered a broken sternum and was saved with just a spell. Instead, he would have had the therapist piece together the broken pieces of his body bit by bit at St. Mungo's morgue, so that he could be buried as a human being. Complete human form. "

The news that was so bad that it couldn't happen again instantly made Charlie and the three of them stunned on the spot. Even if they thought about it with their toes, this matter would never let go.

For example, Lucius Malfoy, who had a fight with his father in the street just two days ago, would definitely grit his teeth and take crazy revenge on Mr. Weasley.

"We have to do something!"

After a brief daze, the serious-looking twins spoke in a deep voice.

"We have to do something before things completely spread in the ministry. This is why I came back."

As their eldest brother, he also possesses the advantages of his younger brothers being calm in times of trouble. The Weasley family is not a mess who doesn't know what to do when they go to the battlefield.

"I know the location of Professor Kettleburn's house. I have been to his house several times. First we go to Hogsmeade. We have to contact the professor before we can enter the school. Owl delivery is too slow."

Charlie spoke immediately, knowing what his brothers meant.

"Walk."

Without hesitation, Bill grabbed the twins' arms, and Charlie did the same. After a crisp blast, they disappeared at the exit of Diagon Alley.

----

Professor Kettleburn, who was feeding lettuce strips to the Flobber caterpillars, was humming a tune. He had recently raised a smart oracle. He had been coveting Dumbledore's phoenix for a long time, but as a phoenix, the phoenix was too much. It is rare. There are only two phoenixes in the world that can get close to people.

Although the augur looks like a thin little vulture with dark green feathers and a sad expression, it has a completely different name from its appearance: "Irish Phoenix".

For a long time, wizards have mistakenly believed that the trembling, low cry of the fortune telling bird is a sign of death. However, in fact, they only sing when heavy rain is approaching. Those who hear the cry of fortune telling bird have a heart attack. All wizards spread rumors. This kind of messy things are very common in the magic world. Although wizards don't believe in gods, they are also very 'superstitious'.

Just when he selected a few chubby Florob caterpillars that no longer needed to be fed and were about to send them to his little aurion bird, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Who?"

He put the worms in Wuwu's food box and limped down the stairs.

As soon as the door opened, the four Weasley brothers couldn't wait to step forward and speak.

"Professor Keltburn!"

"Oh!" The startled old professor took a half step back to make room for the children to come in, "It's Charlie, and you two troublemakers, are you Bill? If I remember correctly if."

"Yes Professor, I'm glad you remember me."

"Of course, you got full marks in my NEWT course back then. You and Charlie are both my proud students."

"It seems that you are looking for me for something important?" Unexpectedly, he didn't hear the twins saying to him aggrievedly, "Are we just dragging our feet?" Keltburn realized that these people were looking for him. He had other things going on.

"Yes, Professor, we need to go back to Hogwarts and find Rollo. It's urgent."

"It's very urgent, please help me, please!"

"Of course, of course, good boy, I can let you in, no problem." Seeing the eager faces on their faces, Keltburn nodded, then whistled towards the stairs, and there was a green bird in his mouth. Then a plump caterpillar flew onto his shoulder.

"I asked Wuwu to deliver a message to Hagrid, and he will open the door for you. When you run to the door, Hagrid should be there too, but remember, no matter how anxious you are, don't use Apparition. I hope you Not forgotten."

Seeing their anxiety at this moment, Professor Keltburn did not forget to warn, "Hogwarts' protective magic that prohibits disembodiment actually extends a little further. The body of the unlucky guy who moved to the outskirts of the village last time was divided into parts." I paid dozens of dollars, but it was already cold before the St. Mungo's therapist arrived, and now the grave grass is blooming."

Bill's steps suddenly stiffened and he let go of Fred's hand, then turned around, bowed, and ran away quickly.

Except for Charlie, who was a strong dragon trainer, the twins and Bill were already tired as dogs when they ran to the school gate. They stuck out their tongues and gasped, and ran away in less than 10 minutes. At almost 3 miles, they were really overdrawn.

The main entrance to the Hogwarts enclosure was wide enough for ten two-horse carriages to enter in parallel. Hagrid, who had arrived before them, opened a gap for them and allowed them to enter the school grounds.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"I don't have time to explain too much, Hagrid! Something happened to dad, and we have to find Rollo! I hope he can help."

Charlie, who could still speak normally, immediately said to Hagrid. After hearing the news, Hagrid picked up the four people without saying a word and carried them casually on his shoulders.

"Hold on tight, Luo Luo is living in the woods now, I will send you there."

Hagrid, who didn't feel any weight at all, reached out to lift his pants. As he stepped on the ground suddenly, a deep pit was created and a hole exploded in the grass.

Hagrid, whose stride was four to five times that of a normal person, ran at a speed that was completely beyond the imagination of the four of them. The howling wind violently poured into their mouths, leaving them speechless. Cover your mouth and nose with your hands to breathe normally.

The scene of reversing like a car even made them imagine that they were tied to a rocket flying close to the ground, and the rumbling footsteps were like the explosion of the engine tail flame.

However, this was just an appetizer. When Hagrid crashed into the Forbidden Forest like a tank, the four brothers truly understood why Hagrid was the gatekeeper of the Forbidden Forest and the second-in-command of the dragon training farm. The real boss who makes everyone tremble.

The sapling, which was as thick as an arm, did not hide at all. He waved casually while running, and the shattered tree trunk was photographed more than ten meters away. Nothing dared to stand in front of Hagrid. With his rough intrusion, the original There was a panic in the quiet forest, flocks of birds were frightened, and countless leaves and branches were trembling.

The four people who were holding their heads to keep each other warm were trying hard to protect their heads. The twigs and young leaves that hit them made them feel burning pain. It is estimated that the hands protecting their heads were swollen by now, but they all bit them. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"arrive."

With a muffled sound, Hagrid took root on the flat grass.

"Rollo! Arthur is in big trouble, and they're coming to you for help."

The four people who were put down by Hagrid supported each other and bent over and retched. The less than 5-minute drive was the scariest and worst way of movement they had ever experienced. A hundred consecutive Portkey or Floo powder transmissions were not so uncomfortable. , fortunately, they were still alive after arriving at their destination.

"Arthur? Is that Mr. Weasley?"

Rollo, who was holding Atlana in his arms, was feeding her colorful sweet berries. The little one had eaten too much meat recently, and healthy growth requires a combination of meat and vegetables.

"Let's go out and play. Remember to come back before dinner. You are not allowed to shave unicorns. You don't know how hard they cried when they sneaked up in front of me last night. These hairs are enough to make several clothes."

After touching Atlana's little head, Rollo put her on the ground lovingly.

"(??????)Okay~"

Atlana ran away happily and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye. In this forbidden forest, Atlana had countless interesting and good toys, and she was very happy every day.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea. Let's not rush. Let's talk slowly."

With a finger, the grass in front transformed into a long table, with seats for five small and one large in front.

"Setina, please prepare some tea for us and put some bitter root seeds in it. They need to refresh themselves and relax."

Rollo shouted, speaking in the direction of the house.

"Come here!" Setina's brisk voice sounded.

"It's too late for tea, Rollo."

Fred said while holding his nauseated chest.

"Our family has a flying car, a Muggle car, but something happened..."

Several people quickly described the whole thing in unison, and in almost two minutes, the matter was clearly laid out on the table.

"Well... well..."

Rollo thought as he touched his chin slightly.

"You are Rollo's friends, right? Welcome."

As the wooden door behind him opened, a pair of dazzlingly white bare feet stepped on the soft grass.

"This is easy to handle. It just so happens that I have to let Germa move around."

But after he said these words, even the sound of breathing near the extremely quiet long table became thin and unpleasant.

"Setina????"

Hagrid, who sat down on the grass, had enough room for a dragon egg in his mouth.

"Rolo! What did you just call her?"

Hagrid crossed the long table and leaned his head in front of Rollo, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

"You heard that right, it's Setina."

There seemed to be a dull sound of his chin hitting the table. The soil that had been transformed into a long table by the transformation spell returned to its original state, and Hagrid's body fell to the ground with a 'snap'.

"I must have seen a ghost!"

Hagrid, whose head was half buried in the dirt, muttered to himself that he had forgotten everything about what happened to Arthur.

PS1: This chapter is not about blackmailing Ron for the sake of blackmailing Ron. Please read my quibbles later. It is part of the plot, and it is definitely not intentional. It is just incidental at best.

PS2: Setina appeared early. She should have appeared later, but since I wrote it when I was coding, it will come out.
