Chapter 395 The Weasley Brothers' Shop

"Welcome to Circular Alley!"

The naked statue started to move. She stretched and weakly said a welcome to Mike and the others.

Mike nodded in return, while the Weasleys looked around as if they had not heard anything at all, with expressions of surprise and astonishment.

This was the first time they had seen a wizard market other than Diagon Alley, so it was not surprising to have such a reaction.

Mike quietly waited for them to recover, but the statue stood with its hands on its hips as if it was angry and glared at Mike and the others, saying,

"You should leave. Don't block the road. There are people coming later!"

After these words came out, the Weasleys finally reacted and made way.

Then, after a wave of space distortion, a pair of girls wearing the uniforms of Beauxbatons School of Magic appeared in front of everyone.

The girls did not stay there for long. After thanking the statue, they left with laughter and chatter. Judging from the direction they left, their destination should be the magic beauty store not far away.

Mike was slightly startled. Today was Thursday. The school was not on holiday yet, so there should be no students in this place.

However, he did not investigate it further. He turned around and looked at the Weasleys again - it was nothing more than a play of students skipping classes.

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

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

Looking in the direction pointed by Mr. Weasley, a store was surrounded by people, which made Mike unable to see the scene inside the store. The only thing he could see was the light blue sign hanging at the door of the store, with some words written in French that Mike could not understand.

"Mike, George and Fred are here, right?" Mrs. Weasley rolled her eyes at Mr. Weasley, turned to Mike and said, "Take me there quickly, I can't wait to see them!"

"Okay, ma'am."

Mike nodded, and then led the Weasleys forward.

However, Mr. Weasley now seemed to be completely immersed in the atmosphere of an exotic trip. He suddenly grabbed Mike and asked excitedly:

"Mike, why do you think this place is called Circular Alley? Can I understand that this is the Diagon Alley in Paris?"

"To be precise, this is a large wizard market like Diagon Alley, but their styles are completely different. I believe you should have discovered this."

Mr. Weasley nodded. He had already discovered from a cursory glance along the way that compared to Diagon Alley, there were many more luxury stores here, whether it was clothing, jewelry or cosmetics.

"As for why this place is called Circular Lane, I can also answer you." Mike continued, "This is because this market is in a very strange circular shape, with the square we are in now as the center. No matter which direction you go, you will eventually return to this square."

"Oh!~"

Mr. Weasley responded with a long tone, and then pointed to a store in the distance. However, before he finished speaking, he heard Mrs. Weasley snort coldly.

Mr. Weasley stopped talking now, and walked with his head down like a frost-bitten vegetable.

Mike suppressed his smile and continued to lead the way.

After ten minutes of walking in silence, everyone finally arrived in front of a relatively remote store.

The door of this store was locked, and there was not even a sign. It seemed that it had not yet opened.

"We are here."

Mike said softly, and Mrs. Weasley frowned when she heard it.

"George and Fred are planning to open a store here?" Mrs. Weasley looked around and frowned even more. "They are really crazy. Look around, there are bars and drunkards everywhere! Opening a store in such a place will not only cause business problems, but they will also become drunkards in the end!"

Mr. Weasley muttered a few words, as if he was refuting, but the volume was too low and Mike did not hear what he was saying.

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

Even Mrs. Weasley herself always liked to have a few drinks when she had nothing to do.

If there is any country that can be compared with Ying Country in terms of wine culture, then it is only the ancient Eastern country far away.

As for the fighting nation in Goose Country who is said to drink vodka as water, to tell you the truth, they are just daring to drink. If you really want to talk about the amount of alcohol, most of them don't even have the capital to carry shoes for the people of Ying Country and the ancient Eastern country.

While Mike was laughing, Mrs. Weasley couldn't wait to knock on the closed door of the shop in front of her, and she shouted while knocking:

"Is anyone there? Open the door!"

Her voice was so loud that several drunkards who had passed out on the roadside in broad daylight were awakened.

Not long after she shouted, there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the shop.

"Damn it! Who would come to us at this time? We are so busy! Oh! Who put this damn dung bomb here? If I accidentally step on it, there will be no one living here!"

"It's not me! I swear!"

"If it's not you, who else could it be? There are only two of us here!"

...

The constant conversation in the shop entered Mrs. Weasley's ears, which made her even more excited. She knocked on the door frantically, while still shouting the names of the Weasley brothers.

"It's terrible, I think I heard my mother's voice. No, it must be an illusion, this is France! Fred! Go open the door!"

"Why don't you go?"

"Can't you see I'm still busy?"

"No, this is not fair!"

"Then let's play rock-paper-scissors."

"Ha! You lose, go!"

"This is not fair! You cheated!"

...

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

One of the Weasley brothers appeared in front of everyone (Mike couldn't tell which one was which). He looked extremely embarrassed at the moment, and the brown sweater he was wearing was tattered and full of stains.

He stared blankly at the Weasleys in front of him, and then shouted loudly without turning his head:

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

He had just finished speaking when the excited Mrs. Weasley rushed up and hugged him tightly.

Mrs. Weasley seemed to be crying, her body was shaking constantly, and Mike could vaguely hear a vague sob.

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

"Oh! This familiar smell of sausages, this familiar hug! George, mom and dad really showed up!"

Fred shouted excitedly, and then there was a sound of rummaging in the store, and then a boy who was almost as embarrassed as Fred, but wearing a yellow sweater, appeared at the door.

"Oh! Dad! What are you doing..."

Before George finished speaking, Mr. Weasley also took him into his arms.

For a moment, the scene in front of the store was extremely warm, and even Mike on the side smiled.

But unfortunately, this scene did not last too long.

After hugging for a while, Mrs. Weasley's expression changed, and she swung her hand with a dark face and hit Fred's head.

"Fred, why did you do this? Your father and I are almost worried to death! Your little sister Ginny almost cried to death after knowing about you!"

Fred covered his head with his hands and looked at his mother who was just moved, and George's body shook violently, and then he quickly let go of Mr. Weasley's hand and stepped back vigilantly.

"I'm sorry, Mom, but we have to do this because Umbridge's persecution of us has reached our limit. If we continue to stay in Hogwarts, we will definitely die!"

Fred, who was wearing a brown sweater, said aggrievedly.

George, who was wearing a yellow sweater, rolled his eyes and pretended to be heartbroken and said,

"Yes, that's right, Mom. But I have to say that I am Fred. Mom, you just confused the two of us again."

Mrs. Weasley was so angry that she laughed. Although the twin brothers George and Fred did look very similar, sometimes even her biological mother would make mistakes.

But in this case, she would never make a mistake, because the two of them were wearing the sweaters she had sewn for them!

They usually liked these two sweaters very much, and Mrs. Weasley didn't think they would let each other wear their sweaters.

"You still want to quibble!"

Mrs. Weasley roared and grabbed George and Fred's ears with one hand each. When George saw that his plan to divert attention did not work, he immediately shouted for help to Mike and Mr. Weasley who were standing by.

However, facing this situation, how could Mike and Mr. Weasley have the courage to stop them? At best, they could only give a few words of advice from the side.

So, the Weasley brothers could only save themselves, and all kinds of nice flattering words were sprayed out like machine gun bullets.

Half an hour later, perhaps the flattery of the Weasley brothers worked, or perhaps Mrs. Weasley was tired of scolding, in short, Mrs. Weasley finally stopped educating her children.

"Mom, you must be tired, come in and sit down!"

"That's right! When you were at home, didn't you often complain that Dad never took you shopping? You should take a rest first, and we will make a decision today. We will take you out shopping later!"

"Yes! You didn't go shopping in the early years because the family conditions did not allow it, but now it's different, your son has money! When you see something when you go out later, just tell us and we will buy it all for you!"

"You don't know! The cosmetics and skin care potions in Circular Lane are so much better than those in Diagon Alley! Why are French witches so beautiful? It's because they often use these things! You have given so much to us and this family over the years, let us show our filial piety today!"

"Oh! By the way! There are wands! You must not know? Although the wand makers here are not as famous as Ollivander's, their craftsmanship is not much different. And they are more creative than Ollivander's, and they even accept custom services. As long as you have money, they can make you a wand in the shape of a microphone! I remember your wand is already very old, right? We will go and order one for you as a spare wand!"

...

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

Mike was a little helpless, he shook his head, turned around and wanted to call Mr. Weasley to go in together.

But he was surprised to find that Mr. Weasley was actually excited at the moment, and seemed to be very interested in the wands that the Weasley brothers had just mentioned!

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

It was not until he entered the store that Mike realized that this store, which did not look big from the outside, was actually very large.

However, the shop has not been sorted out yet. The huge space is filled with various cartons. According to what the Weasley brothers said before they left, these cartons should be filled with various magic joke props.

Although the shop is messy, it is not dirty at all. It can be seen that the Weasley brothers should have cleaned it up.

As soon as he entered the house, George took the lead in moving three chairs of different shapes from the piled-up mess of various furniture and items and distributed them to the three people. The one

given to Mrs. Weasley was a graceful and luxurious high-legged queen chair, and the top of the chair back was even inlaid with a big ruby. And the chair looks ancient as a whole, it should be an antique.

And Mr. Weasley was given an ordinary sofa chair, and as for Mike, he only got a tattered low chair.

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

Mike stood there looking at the happy family of four, without moving, with no intention of sitting down.

Seeing this, George said a little embarrassedly:

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

Fred also echoed:

"Yes, there is no other way, so sit down quickly. If you don't sit down, do you think our place is dirty and look down on us?"

As soon as these words came out, the Weasleys' eyes 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 knew the character of the Weasley brothers very well. When they were in school, they were the kind of people who would take revenge for what they did. Anyone who provoked them would eventually be troubled by their pranks.

Now that he brought their parents here and made them suffer so much, the other party would definitely find a way to prank him.

Thinking of this, Mike did not answer, but flicked his wand and placed an empty cardboard box next to him on 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.
