"Welcome to Circle Lane!"
The undressed statue moved. She stretched her waist and weakly said welcome to Mike and the others.
Mike nodded to her in return, while the Weasleys looked around as if they hadn't heard at all, their expressions in shock and surprise.
This is the first time they have seen the Wizard Market except Diagon Alley. It's not surprising to have such a reaction.
Mike quietly waited for them to recover, but the statue looked angry at Mike with his hands on his hips and said:
"It's time for you to leave, don't stand in the way, someone else is coming!"
As soon as these words came out, the Weasleys finally reacted and stepped aside.
Immediately after a wave of space distortion, a pair of girls in Boothbat’s school uniforms appeared in front of everyone.
The girls didn’t stay in place any longer. After saying thank you to the statue, they left with a smile, and depending on where they left, their destination should be the magic beauty shop not far away. .
Mike was slightly startled. Today is Thursday. It stands to reason that the school has not closed yet, so there should not be any students in this place.
However, he did not delve into it, and turned to look at the Weasleys again-nothing more than a play of students skipping class.
At this time, Mr. Weasley pointed to a shop as if he had discovered something surprising and yelled:
"Aha! The souvenir shop of the French team! I really don't understand why they still have the face to open a souvenir shop. You know they didn't even qualify for the group stage at the last Quidditch World Cup!"
Looking in the direction pointed by Mr. Weasley, a shop was being surrounded by people, which made Mike unable to see the scene of the shop. The only thing he could see was the light blue sign hanging at the door of the shop. There are words written in French that Mike can't understand.
"Mike, George and Fred are here?" Mrs. Weasley gave Mr. Weasley a blank look, then turned to Mike and said, "Take me, I can't wait to see them!"
"Okay, ma'am."
Mike nodded, and then led the Weasleys forward.
However, Mr. Weasley now seems to be completely immersed in the atmosphere of foreign travel. He suddenly grabbed Mike and asked excitedly:
"Mike, why do you say this is called Ring Alley? Can I understand that this is Diagon Alley in Paris?"
"To be precise, this is a large wizarding market like Diagon Alley, but the styles of the two are completely different. I believe you should have discovered this."
Mr. Weasley nodded, and he found out by looking at it roughly along the way. Compared with Diagon Alley, there are many more luxury shops in both clothing, jewelry and cosmetics.
"And as to why this place is called Ring Alley, I can answer you too." Mike continued, "This is because this market has a very strange ring shape, centered on the square where we are now. No matter which direction you go, you will eventually return to this square."
"Oh!~"
Mr. Weasley responded with a long tone, and then he reached out to a store in the distance, but before he could say what he said, Mrs. Weasley snorted at the side.
Now Mr. Weasley is silent, and he walks with his head down like frosted vegetables.
Mike suppressed his smile and continued to lead the way.
speechless all the way, after ten minutes of trek, everyone finally came to a relatively remote shop.
The door of this shop is tightly locked, there is not even a sign, it seems that it has not opened yet.
"Here we are."
Mike said softly, and Mrs. Weasley frowned.
"George and Fred are planning to open a shop here?" Mrs. Weasley looked around, her brows frowning more severely, "They are really crazy. Look around here. They are all bars and drunk alcoholics! Let’s not talk about business issues when opening a store in such a place, even they themselves will definitely be taken as alcoholics in the end!"
Mr. Weasley next to heard the words and mumbled a few words, as if to refute, but the volume was too low, Mike did not hear what he was saying.
But this does not affect his laughter, because he knows very well that in fact, most of the drunks in this world are in the country.
Even Mrs. Weasley likes to drink a few drinks when she is fine.
If there is any country that can be compared with the country in wine culture, then there is only the ancient country in the east.
As for the fighting peoples in Goose Country who are said to drink vodka as water, tell you the truth, they just dared to drink it. Regarding the amount of alcohol, most of them even gave shoes to the people of the ancient country and the ancient East. None of the capital.
Taking advantage of Mike's snickering effort, Mrs. Weasley could not wait to knock on the closed door of the shop in front of her, knocking on her and shouting:
"Anyone? Open the door!"
Her voice was so loud that all the drunks who had fallen drunk by the side of the road in broad daylight were awakened.
And shortly after she shouted, there was also a sound of ding-dong banging boxes and cabinets in the shop.
"Damn it! Who would come to us at this time, we are obviously dying! Oh! Who put this dying dung bomb here? If I accidentally step on it, I won't have to live here! "
"It's not me! I swear!"
"It's not you who can have, here are the two of us!"
……
The constant chatter from the shop got into Mrs. Weasley’s ears, which made her even more excited. She was banging on the door frantically while yelling the names of the Weasley brothers.
"It's terrible, I seem to hear my mother's voice. No, it must be an illusion, this is France! Fred! Go open the door!"
"Why don't you go?"
"Have you seen me still busy?"
"No, it's not fair!"
"Then let's guess the punch."
"Ha! You lose, go ahead!"
"It's not fair! You cheated!"
……
There was another silence, and then the door of the shop opened under everyone's attention.
It was one of the Weasley brothers who appeared in front of everyone (Mike couldn't tell which of them were). At this moment, he looked very embarrassed, his brown sweater was tattered and stained.
He looked at the Weasleys in front of him in a daze, and then shouted loudly without looking back:
"George, I seem to have hallucinations too! I actually saw my parents standing in front of me!"
Just after he finished speaking, the excited Mrs. Weasley rushed up and hugged him tightly.
Mrs. Weasley seemed to be crying, her body trembling constantly, and Mike vaguely heard a vague whimper.
And Mr. Weasley is looking at the mother and child who are hugging together quietly with his mouth pursed, his eyes are also red.
"Oh! This familiar sausage smell, this familiar hug! George, Mom and Dad really show up!"
Fred yelled excitedly, and then there was another sound of turning boxes and cabinets in the shop, and then a teenager who was almost as embarrassed as Fred but with a yellow sweater appeared at the door.
"Oh! Dad! How are you..."
Before George had finished speaking, Mr. Weasley took him into his arms.
For a while, the scene in front of the shop was incredibly warm, and even Mike on the side showed a smile.
But unfortunately, this scene did not last long.
I saw the look on Mrs. Weasley's face changed after hugging for a while, and the dark face shone on Fred's head with a flick of her hand.
"Fred, why are you doing this? Your father and I are about to worry to death! Your little sister Ginny almost cried to death after learning about you!"
Fred clutched his head and looked at his mother who was still moved just now, while George's body shook violently, and then quickly released his hand holding Mr. Weasley, vigilant. 'S retreat.
"I'm sorry, Mom, but we have to do this because the persecution by Umbridge has reached the limit of our tolerance. If we continue to stay at Hogwarts, we will definitely die!"
Fred in a brown sweater said aggrievedly.
George, who was wearing a yellow sweater, rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and put on an expression of distress, and said:
"Yes, that's it, Mom. But what I have to say is that I am Fred. Mom, you just conflated the two of us again."
Mrs. Weasley was all laughed angrily, although the twin brothers George and Fred are indeed super-like, sometimes even her biological mother would admit it wrong.
But in this case, she will never admit her mistake, because the two of them are now wearing sweaters that she has sewn for them!
They usually like these two sweaters very much, and Mrs. Weasley doesn't think they will let each other wear their own sweaters.
"You still want to quibble!"
Mrs. Weasley yelled and grabbed George and Fred by the ears one by one. When George saw that his plan to divert attention had not succeeded, he immediately shouted for help at the nearby Mr. Mike and Weasley.
But in the face of this situation, how can Mike and Mr. Weasley have the guts to stop it? At best, they can only persuade a few words on the side.
So, the Weasley brothers can only help themselves, and all kinds of nice flattery are sprayed out like machine gun bullets.
After half an hour, perhaps the flattery of the two Weasley brothers worked, or Mrs. Weasley was tired of scolding. In short, Mrs. Weasley finally stopped continuing to educate the children.
"Mom, you are tired, come in and sit down!"
"That's right, that's right! When you are at home, don't you often complain that your dad doesn't take you to go shopping? You take a rest, today we will be the master, and we will take you out shopping later!"
"Yes! You didn't go shopping in the early days because the conditions at home were not allowed, but now it's different, your son has money! When you go out and see anything, just send a message and we will buy it for you!"
"Don't you know! The cosmetics and maintenance potions in Ring Alley are so much better than those in Diagon Alley! Why are French witches so beautiful? It is because they often use these things! You I have done so much for us and this family over the years. Let us do our best today!"
"Oh! By the way! There are magic wands! Surely you don't know? Although the wand maker here is not as famous as Ollivander, but the craftsmanship is not much worse. And they are more creative than Ollivander, they They even accept customized services. As long as you have money, they can make a microphone-shaped wand for you! I remember your wand is very old, right? We will order one when we go back and use it as a spare Magic wand!"
……
Two Weasley brothers, one on the left and one on the right, helped Mrs. Weasley into the shop while talking flattery.
Mike was a little helpless, he shook his head, then turned his head and wanted to call Mr. Weasley in with him.
But he was surprised to find that Mr. Weasley at this moment turned out to be excited, and seemed to be very interested in the two magic wands mentioned by the Weasley brothers!
After a long sigh, Mike shook his head and walked into the shop alone. He was really speechless to the family.
It wasn't until he entered the shop that Mike discovered that this shop, which did not look large on the outside, was scary in actual size.
It’s just that the shop has not been organized yet. The huge space is full of cardboard boxes. According to the words of the Weasley brothers before going out, it is speculated that these cardboard boxes should be filled with various magic jokes.
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 out three chairs of different shapes from the pile of various furniture and objects and distributed them to the three of them.
What was distributed to Mrs. Weasley was a graceful and luxurious high-legged queen chair, and the top of the back of the chair was even inlaid with a big ruby. And the whole chair looks antique~EbookFREE.me~ should be an antique.
Mr. Weasley was assigned an ordinary sofa chair. As for Mike, he only assigned a tattered low chair.
The Weasleys took their seats one after another under the wait of George and Fred. At this time, Mrs. Weasley seemed to have completely relaxed, and smiles appeared on her face.
Mike stood there watching the happy family of four, motionless, and didn't mean to sit down.
Seeing this, George said embarrassedly:
"Mike, I'm sorry, there are only three chairs in the shop, I can only wrong you to sit on this."
Fred also echoed:
"Yeah, there is no way, so sit down. If you don't sit down, are you despising us for being dirty and despising us?"
As soon as these words came out, the Weasleys' eyes fell on Mike.
It's just that Mike still didn't mean to sit down, because he knew very well that there must be a problem with the chair in front of him.
The character of the two Weasley brothers can't be clear to him. When they were in school, they were the kind of character that must be reported. Anyone who provokes them will eventually be overwhelmed by their mischief.
Now that I have brought their parents here, and let them suffer such a serious crime, the other party will definitely find a way to prank him.
Thinking like this, Mike did not answer, but flicked his wand and placed an empty cardboard box on the chair.
The next moment, with a loud noise, the chair flew up at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, and finally it was embedded in the ceiling.
