In addition to forgetfulness, Neville's problem is that he is too inferior. Because of his parents' affairs, Mrs. Longbottom's excessive expectations, and his own poor magical talent, he has always been worrying about gains and losses, self-doubting, and did not realize the deepest feelings in his heart. hidden courage.
But as time goes by, he will slowly grow up.
Ivan and Hermione didn't mention Neville's parents to others. If he could figure it out, he would tell everyone about it himself.
Ron recovered and was discharged from the hospital the next day. Ivan, Harry, and Hermione also moved into the Burrow that afternoon. The Weasley family welcomed the three of them very much.
In the remaining days of the Christmas holiday, Alvin had a good time,
He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time since the incident with Sirius, no plots, no dark wizards, no vampires, no threats of death.
In the cozy and bright Burrow, he completes vacation homework with everyone, plays wizard board games, cleans up goblins in the backyard, or discusses Muggle machines with Mr. Weasley, and sneaks along with Fred and George to carry out new activities. Joke product research.
On the first day of the New Year, Sirius took them to watch the match between Puddlemere United and Wimbourne Hornets.
The match was held deep in the mountains, and everyone planned to spend the night camping out in the wild, but the Seekers of Puddlemere United caught the Snitch in just twenty minutes.
Although the game time is short, the process is very exciting.
Needless to say, all kinds of difficult and high-level confrontations between the Quidditch teams, the performance of the fans of the two teams also opened the eyes of Ivan and the others.
Fans of the Wimbourne Hornets uniformly wear yellow and black wizard robes, with a wasp stitched on the chest and back. Every time a player scores a goal, they squiggle and hum rhythmically, looking spectacular.
As Puddlemere United's Seekers caught the Snitch to end the game, the Quidditch field blared in their anthem, "Return the Bludgers, Throw the Quaffle, Boys". The cheerful tune resounded throughout the audience, and Ivan and the others sang a few words along with it.
For fans like Harry and Ron, the game that ended in a hurry was obviously not enjoyable enough.
Aiwen didn't care about this. He paid attention to the setting of the Quidditch venue, the advertisements placed around it, and the souvenirs and badges of the two teams sold by the staff. He was thinking about whether he could use this as a reference for the Hogwarts Quidditch match.
In addition to the above-mentioned things, Ivan spent most of his time in the shop in Diagon Alley, and everyone worked together to clean up and decorate the shop.
Lupine, Sirius, and Mrs. Weasley are mainly responsible for this matter, with the help of the house elves Dobby and Kreacher. Ivan and the others will also go to the other side through Floo powder every morning after breakfast at the Burrow. Corner Lane to help.
According to Aiwen's plan, the first floor of the store is mainly used to sell Weasley joke products.
Therefore, Fred and George are the most active people, and they design and decorate according to their own ideas. If it wasn't for Mrs. Weasley's permission, they would definitely have lived in the shop for two nights.
Although Ivan didn't do it himself, he was not idle either.
He and Hermione wrote a lot of promotional articles, used two sections in the "Hogwarts Ministry of Magic" to promote the upcoming store for a week, and even advertised in the "Daily Prophet".
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the store successfully opened on the last day of the Christmas holiday.
The first floor of the store is filled with a wide variety of commodities, in a large number and variety.
They were all made by the little wizards of Hogwarts. In the past few days, Ivan contacted and collected them with his classmates through owls and Dobby the house elf.
Of these, Fred and George produced the greatest number of joke products.
Under the persuasion of Ivan and Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley finally reluctantly agreed to let Fred and George continue to produce and study Weasley's magic tricks, provided that she must check these things and not affect the The studies of both of them.
Mrs. Weasley quickly found a helper. Together with Hermione, she and Hermione conducted a strict screening of the joke products that Fred and George were going to sell, such as remote control big dung eggs, quick-acting skipping class candy, canary biscuits, etc. Everything is included in the prohibited list.
Most of the joke products placed in stores are relatively mild, non-dangerous, and very hygienic.
For this matter, Fred and George have complained to Ivan more than once, and they said that it affected their inspiration for pranks.
However, they did not abandon the research and development of other hoax products that they themselves called "really valuable", but moved to the underground.
Fred and George plan to save money so they can open a joke shop of their own.
In addition to all kinds of things made by little wizards, in the corner of the first floor, Ivan also specially opened up a small place to sell Muggle things, such as light bulbs, video cameras, game consoles and other wizards Products with little contact.
Ai Wen didn't know how the effect would be, and he was going to try to sell it.
The practicability of these things is very strong, which should arouse some people's interest, and based on Ivan's understanding of wizards, they will not go to the Muggle world to buy them.
There is a spacious wooden staircase on the side of the first floor, which can lead to the second and third floors of the shop, which is the headquarters of the "Hogwarts Wizardry News", which is mainly in charge of by Lupine, and is used as a place for the newspaper's daily operations and advertising contacts. place.
In order to celebrate the successful opening of the store, Aiwen also printed a special issue, which included the truth of the incident at that time and the experience of Sirius when he fled, etc.
He even got inspiration from Lockhart and persuaded Sirius to hold a signing activity in the store on the opening day to attract more popularity.
Although all preparations have been made, on the first day of opening, the number of customers waiting in line outside the store still caught Aiwen and the others by surprise.
Many wizards gathered outside the shop, there were thousands of them in number, and there were even many wizards from foreign countries. Almost all of them came for Sirius.
You know, the case of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew is the hottest topic in the wizarding world recently, especially this matter is related to Voldemort's secrets back then, and everyone is very interested.
Two days before the opening of the store, the Wizengamot, after a lengthy trial, finally delivered a verdict on Peter Pettigrew, who will be imprisoned in Azkaban for life.
According to the gossip Ivan heard from Mr. Weasley, most members of the Wizengamot originally planned to kiss Peter Pettigrew with a dementor kiss, but there were many peace organizations demonstrating outside and writing letters to the Ministry of Magic against it To carry out such a cruel sentence, the attitude is very firm.
With the current support rate already very low, Fudge was worried that this matter would cause unnecessary troubles again. He finally decided to adopt a more conservative judgment method and lock Peter Pettigrew in Azkaban forever.
After all, there are precedents for such a sentence. After Voldemort fell, many evil dark wizards were also punished in this way.
No matter how the outside world doubts, Fudge can shirk.
It is said that after hearing the verdict, Peter Pettigrew knelt down in an instant, lying on the ground like a child and crying loudly.
Not out of fear, but out of excitement.
It hadn't occurred to him that he would escape death, no matter how bad Azkaban was, it was better than losing his life or getting his soul sucked by a dementor.
Even, he still has a trace of fantasy, dreaming of the day when Voldemort returns
For all Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban, as long as there is life, there is hope! (.)
