It was Friday, the day before the Quidditch World Cup.

In the morning, a brand new car drove into the village of St. Catchpole.

Hermione has arrived.

Originally, Mrs. Weasley said she would pick her up, but Mr. Granger thought it would be too much trouble for them, so he sent Hermione over according to the address on the letter.

And to express his gratitude, he also brought a lot of oral care sets as gifts.

"Oh, what a beautiful car..." Mr. Weasley's eyes lit up as he looked at the silver car driven by Mr. Granger.

Ever since Ron lost his old Ford, Mrs. Weasley had expressly forbidden him from buying another one.

So now he could only satisfy his visual curiosity by constantly circling around the car and occasionally lying on the ground to observe the pattern of the wheels.

Mr. Granger was not surprised by his behavior and even handed him the car keys considerately.

There's nothing surprising about that, as he didn't perform much better than Mr. Weasley when he first came into contact with the wizarding world.

Mrs. Weasley also came out and invited Mr. Granger to stay for lunch.

Mr. Granger shook his head and said that another guest with an appointment would arrive soon, so he refused.

He was a dentist, and Mr. Weasley was very interested in this profession. After he left, he took the oral care sets and went to the side to study them.

Mrs. Weasley called Ginny and asked her to show Hermione around the Burrow.

Meeting a wizard family for the first time, Hermione felt everything here was new and novel. It was a completely different feeling from when she was in school.

By the afternoon, Cedric and Cho also arrived. A large group of people appeared in the Burrow. According to Fred and George, they had never felt their home was so crowded.

Kyle wrote a letter to Connor, asking if she wanted to come along.

But when Laton came back, he brought with him a short reply letter agreeing to meet at the venue tomorrow, as well as a small bottle containing a blue potion.

This is a poisonous potion that is often used to get rid of household pests.

…

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Weasley was ready to pick up the last Harry. Because he had to prepare dinner, the job of picking people up fell on him.

"Dad, can we go with you?" Fred and George volunteered.

When they got the news that they were going to pick up Harry, they immediately rushed back from Kyle's house.

"Okay." Mr. Weasley agreed, but after thinking about it, he reminded: "Don't be naughty. That family doesn't like wizards. We can't cause trouble for Harry."

"I don't think he can get any worse now," Fred muttered.

They had gone to pick up Harry once before and knew Harry's situation very well.

Only Mr. Weasley didn't hear this, as he was throwing Floo powder into the fireplace.

Prior to this, he had already submitted an application to the Floo Network Administration in the name of picking someone up, wanting to temporarily connect the Dursleys' fireplace to the Floo Network.

Although the Ministry of Magic stipulates that Muggle fireplaces cannot be connected to the Floo Network, Mr. Weasley has many friends, including people from the Floo Network Administration.

So the application was approved very quickly, but the time was very short, only ten minutes.

You know you need to use stamps when sending a letter, but you use Floo powder when picking someone up... Kyle doesn't know what to say.

If he had to choose between the two, he thought the Dursleys would be more accepting of an owl than a man suddenly appearing from the fireplace.

But he didn't stop it. After all, they agreed to meet at five o'clock, and there were less than ten minutes left.

This amount of time is simply not enough to get there, and if we don't use Floo powder, we can only Apparate, which will more easily irritate the Dursleys.

"Hurry up, we only have ten minutes!"

When the flames in the fireplace turned green, Mr. Weasley was the first to step in and shouted out Harry's address.

"Number 4, Privet Drive, Surrey!"

The green flames in the fireplace shot up abruptly and Mr. Weasley disappeared.

Ron wanted to go too, but was grabbed by Mrs. Weasley.

"Don't go with too many people. That family doesn't like wizards."

Hearing this, Hermione, who was originally eager to try out Floo powder, immediately stopped.

Five minutes later, Fred was the first to come back.

He walked out of the fireplace and came to Kyle excitedly, lowering his voice and saying, "I threw a bag of candy when I left, and deliberately left one behind..."

At this time, George and Harry also came.

"Did he eat?" Fred asked excitedly, holding out his hand and pulling Harry to his feet.

"I ate it." Harry stood up. "What is that..."

"Balloon candy." Fred said with a beaming face, "It was you who gave us the inspiration. We have been looking for someone to try it all summer..."

A burst of laughter broke out in the small kitchen.

Harry also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when he saw Dudley floating uncontrollably onto the roof, he thought he had blown him up again, just like Aunt Marge last year.

Harry then looked around and greeted everyone.

Charlie and Bill were curious about him too.

They had only heard of the Boy-Who-Lived before, and this was the first time they met him.

Soon the fire in the fireplace went out.

"Mr. Weasley hasn't come out yet!" Hermione said nervously.

"Don't worry." Ron waved his hand, "Dad has a way..."

Before Ron could finish his sentence, there was a slight popping sound, and Mr. Weasley suddenly appeared beside George, looking furious.

"This is no joke, Fred!" he shouted. "What on earth did you feed that Muggle boy?"

"I didn't give him anything." Fred grinned, "I just accidentally spilled it on the ground, and he picked it up and ate it himself... You can't blame me for that.

If he had thought about giving the candy back to me, nothing would have happened, would it?

"You spilled it on purpose!" Mr. Weasley knew his son very well. "You know he's on a diet... He must be eating!"

"Did he really fly?" George asked eagerly.

"All the way to the ceiling!"

Harry and the Weasley brothers laughed again.

"This is not a joke!" Mr. Weasley said dissatisfiedly: "This behavior seriously damages the relationship between wizards and Muggles. You shouldn't..."

"That has nothing to do with him being a Muggle!" said Fred angrily.

"Because he's been bullying Harry," said George, "and that family doesn't even give him food!"

"Yeah!" said Harry seriously.

In order to make Dudley, who was losing weight, feel better, he could only eat a small piece of grapefruit at each meal. Aunt Petunia seemed to think that the best way to cheer up Dudley was to ensure that he ate more than Harry.

However, even so, the little he had would often be snatched away by Dudley. If it weren't for Ron and Hermione who often sent him some food, he didn't know how he would have survived for more than a month.

"That's not the problem. Your behavior itself is wrong." Mr. Weasley was still a little angry. "And they will take it out on Harry. You are causing him trouble."

"It's okay, Mr. Weasley." Harry shrugged, indicating that he didn't need to care about it.

Regardless of whether this happened or not, his aunt and uncle would never like him, especially after he blew up Aunt Maggie last year. It didn't matter...
