Chapter 251 A Warm Family (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
"Children, your classmates are here. So come down and have afternoon tea together." After Ryan and Hermione sat down around the table, Mrs. Weasley said loudly while preparing snacks for afternoon tea.

Mr. Weasley also took off his coat and sat at the table, directing Ryan and Hermione's suitcases upstairs with his wand while speaking to them, "Since the two older sons are back, it may be a little crowded. Ryan, you can live in Ron's room, and Hermione, you can live with Ginny."

"Thank you, uncle." Ryan and Hermione thanked him at the same time.

"By the way, what about Harry?" Ryan asked, because Harry had written before saying that he also wanted to go to the Quidditch World Cup.

"I heard that Harry's godfather has bought a house near Harry's aunt's house, so he will go to the World Cup with his godfather this time. We agreed to meet at the World Cup venue then." Ron walked down the stairs at this time and said after hearing Ryan's question.

"Harry wrote to me saying that he had a good summer vacation this year, probably because Sirius had appeared on Muggle TV as a wanted criminal. He told me that under the intimidation of Sirius, he was finally able to eat enough during the vacation this year."

"Harry should have called the police a long time ago. This kind of abuse is a serious crime even among Muggles." Hermione said angrily, because she had no idea that Harry couldn't even get enough to eat at his aunt's house. After all, Harry would not say these things.

As everyone came down from upstairs, the table was soon full of people. In addition to Percy who was not there because he was working overtime, there were two young red-haired men Ryan did not know.

But he immediately remembered that these should be the two oldest Weasley brothers: Bill and Charlie.

"You are Ryan and Hermione, right? As the youngest recipients of the Order of Merlin in decades, we have heard of your names even abroad." After hearing Charlie's words, Ryan felt that if this world was digitized, he would be able to see the number of reputation plus ten on his Order of Merlin.

Because Ryan knew in advance that Charlie raised fire dragons in Romania, he obviously recognized that the man in front of him with freckles on his face and a lot of burn marks on his hands and body was Charlie.

"Yes, so we have always wanted to meet what this junior who has brought glory to our alma mater and even to the UK looks like. But we didn't expect that you are actually friends with our younger brothers and sisters." Bill continued.

Bill now works at Gringotts in Egypt. He is tall, with long hair tied into a ponytail, and an earring with a small fan hanging on it. Just looking at his appearance, Ryan couldn't really associate him with the student union president at school. After all, in his impression, the student union president should be a serious and even old-fashioned person like Percy.

Before Ryan could say anything, the doorbell rang and Percy walked in with dark circles under his eyes.

"What happened to you?" "Who hit you?" "Who did it?" Everyone asked at once.

"Percy, aren't you working for the Incident Reversal Team? How did you get injured?" Mrs. Weasley finally raised her voice, making it echo throughout the kitchen.

"I didn't expect this. Wizards from all over the world have come here, and the Ministry of Magic simply doesn't have enough manpower. So we were also pulled to maintain law and order. We just dissuaded a group of drunk Russian wizards from casting magic on the street, but we didn't expect that they were still able to fight after their wands were removed. I was punched in the face by a Russian." Percy said a little depressed. After all, he was not an Auror. Normally he should be able to control the other party after removing the other party's wand. He really didn't expect the Russians to be so fierce.

"We can't help it. The Ministry of Magic is short-staffed and everything is a mess right now." Looking at his wife glaring at him, Mr. Weasley quickly defended himself. "There are already several field workers like Percy who have been sent to St. Mungo's in the past few days."

"So you need this, a defensive bracelet." Fred took out a brass bracelet that Ryan looked very familiar with and handed it to Percy. "Once activated, it can resist some minor spells, even two or three stun spells. This is for you, but you need to help us promote it among your colleagues."

"Where did you get such valuable things?" Mrs. Weasley asked, staring at the twins with her arms folded across her chest. "I don't think you have the ability to make such alchemical items." "Mom, you look down on us too much." George said, but he immediately changed the subject when he saw his mother's face was not good. "Of course, this is indeed not made by us. We met an alchemist before, and he asked us to help sell these things. We can get a lot of commission for each sale." After saying this, George took out two identical bracelets to prove that what he said was true.

"There's nothing wrong with this thing." Mr. Weasley took a bracelet and examined it carefully. "But how did such a good thing happen to you?"

"Because the alchemist thought that some of the gadgets we made before could give him some inspiration, and he is not from here and is not familiar with the British wizarding world. So after he got along well with us, he asked us to help him sell the goods." Fred answered according to the method Ryan had discussed with him before, and then he took out a contract as evidence.

Ryan wrote his Chinese name in bird and insect script on the contract, so Mr. Weasley didn't find anything wrong. After checking the contract, he found it very fair, so he told the twins to do their best and not to disappoint others. Strangely, Mrs. Weasley didn't object to the twins doing something that had nothing to do with study.

Seeing the confusion on Ryan and Hermione's faces, Ginny explained to them. In the wizarding world, alchemists are respected unless they are extremists. Having a good alchemist as a partner can bring many benefits and you can also learn a lot of knowledge. That's why her parents didn't object to the twins dating the alchemist.

After afternoon tea, the Weasleys took their two sons who were working out of town to ask about their well-being, while Ryan was taken upstairs by the Weasley brothers to see where to live.

After climbing three flights of narrow stairs, Ryan finally arrived at where he was going to live: there was a small sign on the door with peeling paint that read "Ron's Room".

The house was a little small, with a sloping ceiling that almost touched Ryan's head. Four beds were crowded in the room, and there was a fish tank on the windowsill with a giant frog crawling in it. Orange Quidditch posters covered every corner of the room, covering the worn wallpaper.

"It's a bit crowded. Fred and George also live here with us because Bill and Charlie have taken their rooms. And Percy often needs to go out at night to deal with emergencies and catch up on sleep during the day, so no one else can live with him."

At this point Ron said a little embarrassedly: "This should be much smaller than your own house."

"But I feel like this is as warm as my home," Ryan said with a smile.

Fred closed the door and made sure no one else was outside, then said to Ryan, "The new product is a big success, and we'll soon be getting a lot of orders. Do you still have that bracelet? I think a lot of people would buy that."

"Wait--" Ron looked at his brothers in surprise. "You mean Ryan is the alchemist?"

"Yes, little Ronnie," George said, "remember to keep it a secret from mom and dad."

"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand and said, "This thing only needs to be kept secret temporarily. It won't be needed when you go to school. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given it to your brothers."

After all, for Ryan, keeping it secret now is good for distribution. He will definitely need to disclose his identity after he goes to school.
