Chapter 182 Preparation for School Opening
The rest of the summer vacation passed quickly.
The riots at the World Cup were naturally reported.
Although Rita Skeeter was previously criticized by readers and almost had her account cancelled, she still left an important legacy to the Daily Prophet.
——referring to the shock body style she used, which has set a fashion trend for a generation and was gradually developed into the blush body style by other journalists.
"This report is really genius—"
Ron glanced at the front page of the newspaper, spitting:
"Blushing and heart-pounding! Dark wizards are mocked by Muggles and turned into clowns!"
"Shocked! They surrounded the Muggle men and women just for this!"
"It's disgraceful! They are playing with rubber toys in public!"
His brothers burst into laughter, except for Percy who remained silent.
"I hope this newspaper can return to its original appearance." Percy said angrily, "Such a well-known newspaper doing these things is a national disgrace. The Department of International Magical Cooperation will be ridiculed by the Ministries of Magic of other countries-"
"Come on, Percy." Bill yawned, "I finally have some fun reporting..."
"It's a mess." Percy was very annoyed by his remarks. "I'm like putting out a fire. There are shouting letters everywhere. My desk is almost turned into charcoal. They are all complaining about the safety of the World Cup. Although Yu gave me a standard template, it's tiring to reply to the letters-"
Mr. Weasley also walked into the living room at this time, looking tired:
"It's difficult. Even if we arrest a lot of people, we can't prove that they are Death Eaters—"
"They insisted that they were just celebrating. After all, no one was injured and no real spell was cast at the scene—"
"We can only deal with their actions in front of Muggles as a violation of the International Statute of Secrecy."
Their conversation was interrupted by Mrs. Weasley, who was busy preparing Jane and the children's luggage for school.
Mrs. Weasley handed her a shiny, silver-green gown with silky satin:
"Albus said he bought you a dress earlier... but he's sometimes so careless that he only sends money and textbooks."
"He must have never taken care of a child. Children his age grow taller every day—"
As Jian Yu thanked him, Ron held up his dress and protested loudly:
"Why would I wear this? And Fred and George, they make all those Galleons—"
Jian Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that he was holding a purple velvet dress with moldy ruffles.
"If you have the ability, go make money like your brothers!" Mrs. Weasley scolded, "That's the start-up capital for their shop. Besides, their textbooks and robes for school this year didn't cost us a penny at all!"
Ron huffed and said stubbornly:
"Okay, but I, Ron Weasley, would not let it touch my body even if I jumped from the tower naked!"
Jian Yu sensitively realized that this might be a precursor to Zhenxiang's warning.
"Fine, go ahead and do it!" Mrs. Weasley retorted. "I hope I don't see a picture of you naked in the Daily Prophet. What's 'Shocking! A 14-year-old boy running naked late at night'!"
Fred and George appeared on the stairs and winked at Jane.
She climbed the steps, only to see the twins' room filled with fake wands.
"Even Ollivander would be better than him," she exclaimed heartily.
Fred laughed out loud, and the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere:
"Our fake wands have become famous! 'Playing with rubber toys in public', free publicity!"
"Dad said he would help us negotiate the transfer of the store in Diagon Alley - if nothing goes wrong, our store will be operational next year!"
Jian Yu calculated the number of Galleons he could get as dividends.
She sincerely hopes their business will prosper.
......
The first day of school is coming soon.
Jian Yu dragged her luggage onto the train, and raindrops were hitting the glass windows.
She successfully found the compartment where Theodore was, the quietest and most undisturbed place in the entire carriage.
But his face didn't look good.
There were traces of bloodshot in the whites of his eyes, and his hair rarely hung down to cover his forehead, as if he was hiding something.
In fact, Theodore had just had an argument with his father during the summer vacation.
It was for some collective marches and demonstrations - the father and son had opposite ideas.
He was beaten and scolded severely...his Death Eater father proved to him that he had absolute authority in the family.
It also announced to him that he would never be able to escape his father's shadow.
“It’s very difficult to get away from the environment...
After putting the boxes away for her, Theodore suddenly said something incoherent.
Out of touch with the environment?
Jian Yu's eyes widened in shock. She had never expected that -
The fact that I wanted to drop out of school and go to Europe was actually exposed like this?
But she was not worried that Theodore would ruin her plan. After all, they had a friendship that lasted for three years.
"Yes, now that you know..."
Jian Yu sighed and decided to confess part of her mental journey to him:
"I know the end result, something has to be done."
She understood that leaving would bring about the right ending.
Theodore listened quietly, and the chaotic emotions in his heart were slowly calmed down.
He understood that she knew the final outcome, so she would use her foresight to change everything.
The Death Eaters will eventually go on the path of self-destruction.
His stubborn father was walking on the edge of a cliff leading to the abyss.
"Even if it goes against what my family thinks?" he asked.
Jian Yu thought about his own and Dumbledore's ideas...
Over the past three years, their ideas have been difficult to intersect and they seem to be always gliding on different tracks.
She tried hard to leave, but Dumbledore kept her in school... and always said strange things...
"Even if he doesn't agree... I know it's difficult, but I'm not a copy of him... It's impossible for me to act completely according to his thoughts."
She pressed her temples and felt a headache.
But Theodore's thoughts gradually became clear.
She was hinting to herself that even if she was faced with her father's fierce beatings and scolding...even if it went against her...
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he has to make a choice that follows his heart.
Just like her, even if she is not recognized by her guardian Dumbledore, she must be herself.
He is not a copy of his father... He has always had his own ideas... His inner guidance...
He thought he knew what to do.
"It's hard, but I'll help you as much as I can."
He made a solemn promise.
Jian Yu smiled sincerely.
She knew that three years of friendship was not to be underestimated, and he was the first person who offered to help her drop out of school!
Even though she didn't intend to ask him for help, she was really touched by his kindness!
She was so happy that she couldn't help but share her latest game console with him.
There are many new word games, some adaptations of classic stories, such as The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and wizard-like Muggle fairy tales...
Theodore cleverly hid the game console because Draco's voice was already three feet high outside the door.
