Dinner that day was very pleasant, thanks to the unprecedented success of store sales and the good news that Sirius was going to teach at Hogwarts.
With the help of Hermione and Ginny, Mrs. Weasley cooked a table full of dishes.
In the courtyard of the Burrow, everyone happily sat around the dining table, eating delicious dishes, and watching Fred and George's fireworks show.
Professor Lupine and Mr. Weasley had just told some jokes, which got everyone laughing.
"I can't believe that you will become a professor at the school!" Harry said to Sirius beside him with a smile.
All night, he kept laughing.
Harry was still immersed in the great surprise that Sirius was going to teach at Hogwarts. He felt like he was in a dream: Ron recovered from the Imperius Curse, and his godfather was going to be Hogwarts. Ai Wen's shop has achieved unprecedented success, and he received the coveted Firebolt as a Christmas gift
What happened recently made Harry feel unprecedentedly happy.
"I didn't expect that a few months ago, I only wanted to catch Peter Pettigrew for revenge, even at the cost of death." Sirius said, "But this is also very good now, Ivan is right , which is probably the best outcome for me."
Sirius had a cheerful smile on his face, which made him look younger, more and more like the vigorous image he had when he was studying at Hogwarts more than ten years ago.
"Since you mentioned this!" Hermione asked curiously, "Sirius, I've always wanted to ask, what are you going to do about the Defense Against the Dark Arts course next semester
"I just talked with Remus, and I plan to follow his teaching progress and let you meet other dark creatures. In addition, I plan to teach you some real fighting skills." Sirius said with a smile, "I have watched the battles of you guys, and they all lack combat experience. Take Aiwen as an example, his magic power is very strong, and he has mastered many magic spells, even worse than me, but he can't fully use them. What you need now is More skill and experience, things that can only be appreciated through real combat."
"Battle experience and skills, what do you mean?" A thought suddenly popped up in Ivan's mind, "Aren't you going to reopen the dueling club?!"
This club, which aims to teach dueling skills to young wizards and improve everyone's combat experience and strength, was formed last year at Lockhart's suggestion.
At that time, the repercussions were particularly great, and everyone was looking forward to it. Almost all the young wizards in the school participated.
But this club has become a joke, Lockhart is not Snape's opponent at all, and he can't even resist a single move.
In the end, everyone found out that Harry is a Parseltongue, which is really bad.
"I have this idea, but I need Dumbledore's consent." Sirius slowly turned the wand in his hand, and continued, "I heard about the past year, if Snape is willing, I hope I can invite him to be my opponent and show you a few of what a real duel is."
He put the emphasis on the duel. It seemed that he couldn't wait to have a fight with Snape, and the old and new enmity between the two was not clear at all.
They hated each other even more than Harry and Malfoy.
"Oh my God, I can't wait!" Ron looked up from his plate and swallowed the contents of his mouth, "Show that old bat a lesson, he's been chasing Harry and punishing us Confinement, deducting points for Gryffindor, I have endured him already"
"Ron!" Mrs. Weasley grabbed Ron's ear and said sternly, "How dare you say that about your professor!"
"Oh Mom, you don't know"
Seeing Ron's embarrassment, everyone laughed.
This topic did not continue, but looking at the expressions of several people, they all couldn't wait to see the scene of the duel between Sirius and Snape, even Percy and Hermione, who were always well-behaved, were the same.
After a short period of calm, there was another burst of laughter at the dining table.
Fred and George trick Percy into eating a piece of their newly developed shape-shifting biscuit, which turns Percy into a frog and back again.
Amidst everyone's laughter, Percy chased Fred and George around the yard, and Mrs. Weasley hurried to stop them.
At this moment, a small gray figure flew out of the room and landed in front of Ron's dinner plate.
It chirped and chirped, competing with Ron for food on his plate.
"Shut up, little pig." Ron said, waving his hand hastily, and drove the little owl aside, "Don't touch what's on my plate."
"Why did you call him Piggy?" Hermione asked curiously. She and Ivan have been busy with things in the store recently, and have no time to care about Ron's name for the owl.
"Because it's a bit silly." Sitting next to her, Ginny pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Ron named it Zhu Weiqiong before."
"Yeah, that's not a silly name at all," said Ron sarcastically. "Harry and I thought about it for a long time before we came up with the name Zhu Weiqiong, which goes very well with Hedwig. But when we're ready to call it Only then did I realize that Ginny had already named her."
"Don't you think this name is very cute?" Ginny asked back.
"I don't see anything cute. I want to change this name, but it's too late. This owl only recognizes this name and calls it anything else, but it doesn't care. So now it's a little pig." Ron wrinkled his nose.
Zhu Weiqiong happily jumped up and down beside him, making ear-piercing chirps.
"Piggy is a good name, it's really cute." Hermione lured the owl over with bread crumbs.
It flew right up to Hermione, making her giggle.
The dinner went on until after ten o'clock, and finally ended with laughter.
On the second day, because Sirius was also going to Hogwarts, Daji did not take the Hogwarts Express back to school at Nine and Three-quarters Station, but took the Knight Bus back to Hogwarts.
They had a hasty breakfast, put on their coats and scarves, and were ready to go.
It was a gray and chilly January morning.
At seven o'clock in the morning, a bright purple three-decker bus descended from the sky and appeared at the Burrow door on time. The Weasleys stood at the door and waved them away.
The last stop on the Knights bus was Diagon Alley, and Sirius was already waiting for them on the bus.
Ivan climbed into the car, and just like last time, he saw all kinds of chairs on the car, and they didn't care about matching, and they surrounded the window indiscriminately. (.)
