A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 149 The Mysterious Burrow

"Wow~"

As the door of the phone booth opened, Alice and Hermione couldn't help but let out an exclamation,
Compared with the dilapidated telephone booth, what unfolded in front of them was a long and resplendent hall, the floor of which was made of dark wooden floor,
There are at least [-] burning fireplaces inlaid on both sides, and the fireplace on the left will make a "pop" sound every few seconds.
Then you can see wizards in robes, patting the dust on their bodies and walking out of the flames.

And in front of each fireplace on the right, there will be several wizards waiting in line. I saw them grab a handful of shiny powder from the flowerpot on the mantelpiece, throw them into the fireplace, and disappear one by one.

The ceiling of the hall is a mysterious peacock blue, with countless glittering golden symbols on it, constantly moving and changing, like a huge high-altitude bulletin board.

Seeing at least hundreds of wizards going back and forth in the hall, Charlie couldn't help swallowing,
If all of them fainted, they wouldn't have to go up several levels in a row!

Of course, he was just thinking about it. With so many adult wizards, he couldn't do it alone. Give him a spell alone, and he can cool him down.

"Okay, we're here to line up, have you guys used Floo powder before?"

Arthur led Alice and Hermione in front of a gold-rimmed fireplace on the right, and asked with a kind smile.

Alice and Hermione looked at each other, Qi Qi shook his head,

Floo powder, they have seen the introduction in the magic book, but the specific experience, today is really the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair!
"It's very simple, look at the wizard in front!"

Arthur nodded, pointed to a wizard in front of them and patiently explained:
"Just like him, grab a handful of Floo powder from a flower pot, throw it in the fireplace, and then people walk in and call out the name of the destination.
Remember, after a while you will call 'The Burrow', don't make a mistake, or you will fly to other places! "

"The Burrow!"

Alice and Hermione repeated it together,
This is exactly the address name that Arthur left on the Floo network after he opened the Floo network for the fireplace at home, and it is also the name he gave to their warm little house built with magic.

"Wizards really don't lack gold!"

While Arthur was explaining how to use Floo powder to Alice and Hermione, Charlie quietly poked out a cat's head from Alice's arms, and carefully looked at the situation on the first floor of the Ministry of Magic hall.

He felt that maybe when he was stronger in the future, he might come over again, but it wouldn't necessarily be a regular visit like this.

The most eye-catching thing in the hall is the circular water pool in the center, because a group of pure gold statues larger than real people are erected in the water pool, shining under the magic lights of the hall,
The tallest of them is a noble wizard, he holds his wand up high, pointing directly at the sky, his expression is full of pride, and surrounded by a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin and a house-elf,

Among them, the centaur, goblin, and house elf looked up at the two wizards with expressions of infinite admiration,
It can be seen from this that although the centaurs, goblins, and house elves in the wizarding world all have intelligence not inferior to that of humans, and also have their own magic systems,
But in the eyes of wizards, they are still inferior.

In fact, this is also very normal. After all, wizards used to be divided into high and low due to pure blood, mixed blood and Muggle wizards, not to mention the non-human existence of horsemen.

"The Burrow!"

Hermione was carrying her suitcase, and with a shout, she walked into the fireplace first,
When he found Hermione disappeared into the fireplace, Charlie also retracted the cat's head, because Alice and him were next.

Alice grabbed a handful of powder from the flower pot in the fireplace and threw it into the fireplace, then immediately hugged Charlie, picked up the suitcase on the ground, and walked into the suddenly expanding flames.

"The Burrow!"

With Alice yelling, Charlie only felt a space-distorting force enveloping him and Alice, and then the light dimmed. When he realized it, he and Alice had already come out of the fireplace.

But now they are no longer in the Ministry of Magic in London, but in the Burrow outside the village of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England.

"Welcome to my home, Hermione, Alice, and Charlie!"

In the living room on the first floor of The Burrow, Ron and Harry had already stood in front of the fireplace waiting for them.

And behind Ron stood his mother, Mrs. Weasley, his three brothers Percy, Fred and George, and his younger sister, Ginny, who was going to Hogwarts for the first year of school this year.

After the simple welcoming ceremony, Mrs. Weasley took Alice and Hermione upstairs, and gave them a brief introduction to the Burrow.

The Burrow of Ron's family has six floors, but these six floors do not conform to the architectural principles like Muggle buildings from the outside. Instead, it is more like six or seven rooms that have been randomly built together and then strengthened by magic.

The first floor is the living room plus the kitchen, the second floor is little Ginny's room, and the third floor has two rooms, where the twin brothers who like to be tricky and Percy, who is obsessed with power, live respectively.
The fourth floor was originally the room of Bill and Charlie, but Bill is currently working as a spellbreaker in Gringotts, Egypt, and Charlie is studying dragons in Romania, and they no longer live at home.
So these two rooms are vacant, just enough for Hermione and Alice to stay temporarily.

The fifth floor is Arthur and Molly's room, and the sixth floor is Ron's room. Now Harry and Ron live in the same room, and there is a ghoul living in the attic above Ron's room.

A ghoul is an ugly looking creature, much like a slimy, buck-toothed ogre, except that they are not cannibal or vicious, and feed mainly on spiders and moths.

I especially like to live in the attic or barn of the wizard's house. They are considered to be a kind of magical pets in the wizard's house. Their function is similar to that of a Muggle family raising a snake that is non-toxic and specializes in eating pests.
It's kind of annoying though, because it's always making noise and throwing things around occasionally,

In the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control of the British Ministry of Magic, there is a department called the Ghoul Ranger, which is responsible for driving away those ghouls who have been transferred to Muggle residences.

After reaching the fourth floor, Alice and Hermione did not choose to live separately in Bill and Charlie's room, but decided to live in one room,

For Alice and Hermione, the Burrow is in an unfamiliar environment. Living in the same room not only makes them feel more secure, but also allows them to whisper something.

Of course, our protagonist Charlie didn't know about these situations, because on the first floor, he jumped out of Alice's arms and began to wander around the Burrow.

　I have something to do at home today, and I will resume the third shift tomorrow!
