Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 59: Fighting the Goblins

The Weasley family was very satisfied with the gifts Mike brought, as could be seen from their reactions at dinner.

Mr. Weasley held on to the remote-controlled car tightly. He really couldn't understand why this thing, which had no trace of magic at all, could move according to his instructions.

Little Ginny had no appetite for food. She had already put the silver hairpin on her head, and she would touch it from time to time. There was a small pearl on the hairpin, which sparkled under the candlelight.

As for the three Weasley brothers and Franklin, they were playing happily with a Gameboy, which they had pestered Mike to get. According to their conversation, they were playing a game called Pokémon, which was also a game that Mike's youngest son Jimmy liked to play in his previous life.

Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley was not obsessed with the recipe. She chatted with Mike at the table and kept adding dishes to Mike's plate. Seeing that no one else was in the mood to eat and she was the only one serving the guests, Mrs. Weasley, who could no longer bear it, roared and stopped everyone's unreasonable behavior. She turned around and put on a smiling face like a Sichuan opera and continued to entertain Mike.

Thanks to Mrs. Weasley's extraordinary efforts, the atmosphere at the dinner table finally returned to normal.

After dinner, everyone dispersed as if they had completed their mission. Those who were studying remote control cars continued to study, those who were playing games continued to play games, those who were vain continued to be vain, and even Mrs. Weasley went to study the recipe. No one cleared the dishes on the table.

Of course, Mike couldn't help to clean up, so he grabbed Franklin, who wanted to continue catching elves with the Weasley brothers, and went to the yard.

"Don't look so sad. What's so fun about games?" Mike punched Franklin in the chest. "Let me ask you, how are you learning the notes I gave you?"

When the note was mentioned, Franklin's originally gloomy face immediately changed into a proud expression.

"Needless to say? Of course I learned them all. I even mastered the emotion casting technique, although the success rate is relatively low."

"Oh? Are you sure? Then let's give it a try." Mike was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and pointed at the goblins in the Weasley family's yard.

Goblins are a common humanoid magical creature in the UK. Adult goblins are about 30 cm tall, with a large head and a pair of large feet that are seriously out of proportion to their body. Goblins usually live in underground caves. Because they feed on the roots of plants, they often mess up crops and gardens, and they have super fertility, so they are defined as pests.

Mrs. Weasley obviously neglected the management of her garden. At this moment, several goblins were happily playing in the overgrown garden.

Franklin was a smart man, and of course he understood what Mike meant. He gave Mike a look that said "watch me." and then he took out his wand and shot out a beam of lightning that shattered into pieces.

A red light flashed across and hit a goblin on the far right.

The goblin exploded like a watermelon hit by a hammer, creating a bloody mist. The goblins nearby screamed and fled in all directions when they saw their friend who had just been playing with them explode.

But Franklin's face didn't look good, because he had just aimed at another goblin.

Mike, who was a shooting expert, naturally noticed it. He shook his head and sighed, looking very disappointed.

Seeing this, Franklin's face turned even worse (nonsense, how could anyone tell a black person's face in the dark), and he hurriedly aimed again in the hope of saving some of his face.

Fortunately, goblins are extremely stupid, just like roe deer. The news of their companions' explosion was passed on to the cave by the survivors, and as a result, many goblins refused to believe it and insisted on coming up to the ground to take a look.

A petrification spell was fired, accurately hitting a goblin that was peeking out of the cave entrance.

Seeing that his spell had hit the target, Franklin's face finally looked better, and he looked at Mike with some pride. At this time, the Weasley brothers were being pulled by the ears by Mrs. Weasley to tidy up the dining table. After seeing what Mike and Franklin were doing in the yard outside the house, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled strangely at the same time.

Ron, who was standing by, shuddered in fear when he saw this smile. He was very familiar with this smile. It was the smile that his two brothers would show every time they wanted to play a trick on him.

"Hey, Mike. What are you guys playing? A goblin game?" The Weasley brothers came up to Mike, arms around each other's shoulders. "How about taking the two of us?"

Before Mike could answer, Franklin spoke up. He had a very good relationship with the Weasley brothers in the past two days: "Come on, I promise to beat you to a pulp."

The Weasley brothers looked at the black guy in front of them, and strange smiles appeared on their faces again at the same time.

"How can there be a game without betting?" George said.

"That's right! How about whoever comes last will wash the dishes?" said Fred.

Mike looked at the two people's smiles and knew their purpose, but he did not expose them. Instead, he smiled and said, "I think it's feasible. I will be the referee. The timer is five minutes. The last one will help Mrs. Weasley wash the dishes. What do you think?"

After saying that, he took out his magic wand and waved it gently, and a fluorescent scoreboard made of floating magic power appeared above everyone's heads.

The three of them nodded upon seeing this.

"start!"

Following Mike's order, spells suddenly spread across the garden, and the goblins were either exploded, petrified, or burned to death in various ways.

But there were obviously a lot of goblins under the Weasley family's garden. After killing one wave, another wave of goblins would come to the ground to check, blinking their curious eyes. It was simply endless.

The Weasley brothers have been helping their family clean up goblins since they were 6 years old. They are very experienced and Franklin is no match for them.

The two brothers worked closely together, one of them used restrictive spells such as Obstacles and Transfiguration to trap several goblins together, and the other used a Fire Spell to kill all the goblins. The two of them took turns to kill with high efficiency. On the scoreboard above their heads, their scores rose like rockets, leaving Franklin far behind.

"What are you doing!"

Just when everyone was having fun, a familiar roar came from behind. Turning around, they saw it was Mrs. Weasley.

Mrs. Weasley looked at the mess of crops in the garden and felt her heart bleeding. The family was already so poor, and George and Fred dared to mess things up. It was really unreasonable.

PS: Recommendation votes! I beg you guys! Please give me a recommendation vote! My data was leaked online again yesterday, so miserable.

I saw the comment of book friend 150401183131997. I also know that this part of the plot may be boring, but I think it is indispensable for the emotional adjustment between the protagonists. But don't worry, I will speed up the plot, and your senior sister will appear soon.
