Harry Potter Raven's Claw

“Welcome to the Circle Lane!”

The unclothed statue moved, she stretched and said welcome words to Mike and others weakly.

Mike nodded to her as a gift, while the Weasleys looked around as if they didn't hear it at all, with a look of surprise and surprise.

This was the first time they had seen a wizard fair except Diagon Alley, and it was not surprising that this reaction was made.

Mike quietly waited for them to recover, but the statue seemed to be angry and put his hands on his hips and glared at Mike and others, saying:

"You should leave, don't block the way, there are still people coming behind you!"

As soon as this was said, the Weasleys finally reacted and made way.

Then, a wave of twisted space rippled, and a pair of girls wearing Busbaton Magic School uniforms appeared in front of everyone.

The girls did not stay there for a long time. After saying thank you to the statue, they left with laughter. Looking at the direction they left, their destination should be the magic beauty shop not far away.

Mike was slightly stunned. Today was Thursday. It was logical that the school had not had a holiday yet, so students should not appear in this place.

However, he did not delve into this, and turned around and looked at the Weasleys again - it was just a scene where students skip classes.

At this time, Mr. Weasley pointed at a shop as if he had discovered something amazing and shouted:

"Aha! The souvenir shop of the French team! I really don't understand why they still have the face to open a souvenir shop. You must know that they didn't even qualify for the group stage in the last Quidditch World Cup!"

Looking in the direction Mr. Weasley pointed, a shop was surrounded by people, which made Mike unable to see the scene clearly. The only thing he could see was the light blue sign hanging at the door of the shop, which contained some words that Mike couldn't understand in French.

"Mike, George and Fred are here?" Mrs. Weasley gave Mr. Weasley a blank look and turned to Mike and said, "Take me there quickly, I can't wait to see them!"

"Okay, madam."

Mike nodded and then led the Weasleys forward.

However, Mr. Weasley now seems to be completely immersed in the atmosphere of traveling abroad. He suddenly grabbed Mike and asked with excitement:

"Mike, why do you think this is called Circle Lane? Can I understand it as Diagonal Lane in Paris?"

"To be precise, it's a large wizard fair here like Diagon Alley, but the styles of the two are completely different. I believe you should have discovered this."

Mr. Weasley nodded, and he had already discovered it on the way, compared to Diagon Alley, there are much more luxury stores for clothing, jewelry and cosmetics.

"And I can answer you as to why it is called Ring Lane," Mike continued. "This is because this market has a very strange ring shape, centered on the square where we are now. No matter which direction you go, you will eventually return to this square."

"Oh!~"

Mr. Weasley responded in a long tone, then pointed his hand at a shop in the distance. Before he could say anything, Mrs. Weasley next to him snorted coldly.

Now Mr. Weasley stopped talking, and walked with his head down like a vegetable made of frost.

Mike suppressed his smile and continued to lead the way.

All the way was speechless. After ten minutes of trekking, everyone finally arrived in front of a relatively remote shop.

The door of this store is locked and there is not even a signboard. It seems that it has not opened yet.

“We’re here.”

Mike said softly, and when he heard this, Mrs. Weasley frowned.

"George and Fred are planning to open a store here?" Mrs. Weasley looked around and frowned even more. "They are really crazy. Look at the surroundings, there are bars and drunken drunks! Not to mention the business issues when opening a store in such a place, even they themselves will definitely be taken to become drunks in the end!"

Mr. Weasley next to him muttered a few words when he heard this, as if he was refuting, but the volume was too low, and Mike didn't hear what he was saying.

But this did not affect his laughter, because he knew very well that in fact, most of the drunkards in the world were in Yingguo.

Even Mrs. Weasley herself always likes to drink a few drinks.

If there is any country that can compare with Yingguo in wine culture, then there is only the ancient Eastern country far away.

As for the fighting nations in E Kingdom who are said to drink vodka as water, let me tell you the truth. They just dare to drink it. If you really want to drink it, most of them don’t even have the capital to carry shoes for the Ying Kingdom and the ancient Eastern people.

Taking advantage of Mike's snickering, Mrs. Weasley could not wait to knock on the closed door of the shop in front of her, and shouted while knocking on her:

"Is anyone? Open the door!"

Her voice was extremely loud, and several drunken men around her who were drunk on the roadside in broad daylight were awakened.

Shortly after she shouted, there was a sound of dingdong and rumbling through boxes and cabinets in the shop.

"It's so damn! Who would come to us at such a time? We are almost busy! Oh! Who put this dead manure bomb here? If I accidentally stepped on it, there would be no need to live here!"

"Not me! I swear!"

"If you don't have anyone else, we are the only two of us here!"

...

The constant sound of conversation from the shop penetrated into Mrs. Weasley's ears, which made her even more excited. She was knocking on the door frantically, while still shouting the names of the Weasley brothers.

"It's so deadly. I seem to hear my mother's voice. No, that must be an illusion. This is France! Fred! Go and open the door!"

"Why don't you go?"

"Didn't you see that I'm still busy?"

"No, this is unfair!"

"Then let's just rock-scissors."

"Ha! You lost, go quickly!"

"This is not fair! You're cheating!"

...

There was another silence, and then the door of the store opened under the gaze of everyone.

The one who appeared in front of everyone was one of the Weasley brothers (Mac couldn't tell who was who they were). At this moment, he looked extremely embarrassed, and the brown sweater he was wearing was torn and stained.

He stared blankly at the Weasleys in front of him, and then shouted loudly without looking back:

"George, I seem to have hallucinations too! I actually saw my parents standing in front of me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the excited Mrs. Weasley rushed up and hugged him tightly.

Mrs. Weasley seemed to be crying, her body kept trembling, and Mike could hear a vague whimper.

Mr. Weasley pursed his lips and looked at the mother and son who were hugging each other quietly, with his eyes also red.

"Oh! This familiar sausage smell, this familiar hug! George, mom and dad really appeared!"

Fred shouted excitedly, and then another sound of rumbling through boxes and cabinets came from the shop. Then a boy who was almost as embarrassed as Fred, but his sweater was yellow, appeared at the door.

"Oh! Dad! Why are you guys..."

Before George could finish his words, Mr. Weasley also took him into his arms.

For a moment, the scene in front of the store was extremely warm, and even Mike next to him showed a smile on his face.

But unfortunately, this scene did not last long.

After hugging for a while, the expression on Mrs. Weasley's face changed, and she shook her hand and came to Fred's head with a dark face.

"Fred, why do you do this? Your dad and I are almost worried! Your little sister Ginny almost cried after she learned about you!"

Fred covered his head with shock and looked at his mother who was still moved just now. George's body shook violently, and then quickly let go of the hand holding Mr. Weasley and retreated vigilantly.

"I'm sorry, mom, but we have to do that, because the persecution Umbridge has done on us has reached the bottom line of endurance. If we continue to stay in Hogwarts, we will definitely die!"

Fred, wearing a brown sweater, said aggrievedly.

George, who was wearing a yellow sweater, turned his eyes when he heard this, pretending to be heartbroken and walked up to him and said:

"Yes, that's it, mom. But what I have to say is that I'm Fred. Mom, you just confused the two of us."

Mrs. Weasley was so angry that even though the twin brothers George and Fred did look very similar, sometimes even her biological mother would admit their mistakes.

But now she will never admit her mistake in this situation, because the two of them are wearing sweaters she sewed for them with her own hands!

They usually like these two sweaters very much, and Mrs. Weasley doesn't think they will let each other wear their own sweaters.

"You still want to argue!"

Mrs. Weasley roared and grabbed George and Fred's ears with one hand. When George saw that his plan to divert attention was not successful, he immediately shouted for help to Mike and Mr. Weasley beside him.

However, in the face of this situation, how could Mike and Mr. Weasley have the courage to go up and stop it? At best, they could only persuade them a few words.

So, the Weasley brothers could only rescue themselves, and all kinds of nice flattery words were sprayed out like machine guns and bullets being fired.

Half an hour later, perhaps the flattering words of the Weasley brothers came into effect, or perhaps Mrs. Weasley was tired of scolding. In short, Mrs. Weasley finally stopped continuing to educate her children.

"Mom, you are tired, come in and sit down!"

"That's right! Don't you often complain when you are at home that your father doesn't take you to go shopping? You can rest for a while, today we will be the leader, and we will take you out to go shopping later!"

"Yes! In the early years, you didn't go shopping because your family conditions did not allow it, but now it's different. Your son is rich! If you go out and see something, you just need to say a word and we will buy it for you!"

"You don't know! The cosmetics and maintenance potions in this Circle Alley are much better than Diagon Alley! Why are French witches so beautiful? It's because they often use these things! You have paid so much for us and this family over the years, so let us be filial today!"

"Oh! By the way! And there is also a magic wand! You must not know? Although the wand producers here are not as famous as Ollivand, their skills are not much worse. And they are more creative than Ollivand, and they even accept customized services. As long as you have money, they can make them even in the shape of a microphone! I remember your wand is already very old, right? Let's go back and make one to be used as a spare wand for you!"

...

The Weasley brothers, one on the left and one on the right, helped Mrs. Weasley into the store while saying flattering words.

Mike was helpless, and he shook his head, turned around and wanted to call Mr. Weasley to go in with him.

But he was surprised to find that at this moment, Mr. Weasley was actually excited, as if he was very interested in the two magic wands mentioned by the Weasley brothers just now!

With a long sigh, Mike shook his head and walked into the store alone. He was really speechless about the family.

It was not until I entered the store that Mike realized that the store, which looks not large in appearance, was actually very large.

However, the store has not been sorted out yet, and the huge space is filled with various cartons. According to the words of the Weasley brothers before going out, these cartons should be filled with various magical joke props.

Although the store is messy, it is not dirty at all. It can be seen that the Weasley brothers should have done a major cleaning here.

As soon as he entered the house, George took the lead and moved out three chairs of various shapes from the piles of furniture and items and distributed them to the three of them.

What was given to Mrs. Weasley was a graceful and luxurious high-legged queen chair. The top of the backrest of the chair was even inlaid with a large ruby. The chair looked ancient and should be an antique.

The same was given to Mr. Weasley, and as for Mike, he only got a ragged short chair.

The Weasleys sat down one after another under the servitude of George and Fred. At this time, Mrs. Weasley seemed to have completely eased and a smile appeared on her face.

Mike stood there and looked at the happy family of four, without moving, without any intention of sitting down.

Seeing this, George said embarrassedly:

"Mike, I'm sorry, there are only three chairs in the store, I can only feel sorry for you to sit on this."

Fred also echoed:

"Yes, there is no way, so sit down quickly. If you don't sit, are you despising us for being dirty and looking down on us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Weasleys' eyes also fell on Mike.

But Mike still had no intention of sitting down because he knew very well that there must be something wrong with the chair in front of him.

He could not understand the character of the Weasley brothers. When they were in school, they had the kind of character that would be rewarded. Anyone who provoked them would end up being overwhelmed by their pranks.

Now that he brought their parents over and caused them to suffer such a great sin, the other party will definitely find a way to make pranks on him.

Thinking of this, Mike did not answer, but threw a wand and placed an empty cardboard box next to the chair.

The next moment, with a loud bang, the chair flew up at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye and finally embedded in the ceiling.
