The Mightiest Wizard of Hogwarts

Chapter 85 The Burrow



Chapter 85 The Burrow
Everyone in the magic world knows that the Gaunt family is the descendant of Slytherin, but they don't know that Black and Slytherin also have some kinship.
The family tree of the Black family recognized by the wizarding world today begins with Phineas Black I, but no one knows that Phineas Black I, the famous Slytherin headmaster, Hogwarts Principal Xiong, his mother is actually from the Gunter family, and she is still in the direct line of blood.

It's just that Phineas Black I was unlucky and didn't inherit the snake's old tune. After that, his blood became thinner and thinner, and there were no people with this talent.

The topic is a bit far away. In short, the Weasley family is underestimated by most pure-blood families. Their most valuable thing has always been their connections.
Not to mention, their family has a close relationship with Dumbledore and is one of the founders of the Order of the Phoenix. During World War II in the magic world, there were many Weasleys among the wizards who died. The Sly family is related, such as the famous Prewett brothers who are Molly Weasley's older brothers.

Therefore, Finny's visit to the Weasleys' house might not have the intention of finding allies for himself. It is still possible to use his relationship with Brother George to get closer.

Perhaps it was because the Weasleys lived a certain distance from London, the popsicles came back in the evening, after Finny had already had dinner,
It brought back letters from George and Fred,
The letter made an appointment to visit the next day, and also wrote that Molly Weasley expressed that Finny was very welcome.
The next day, Finny, with Puff's help, arrived at the village of Ottery St. Catchpole near the Weasleys.

This is a village where wizards and Muggles live together. After the "International Statute of Secrecy" was signed into effect in the seventeenth century, a special magical community was established.

There are many wizarding families living nearby, including the Fawcett family, the Diggory family and the Lovegood family, as well as the Weasley family, the target of Finny this time.

Out of respect for the same pure-blooded family, Finny didn't go directly to the Weasleys' range with Puff's help, but chose to come here, and then walked to the Weasleys' house,

Passing through patches of fields and trees is a bush and a forest.

The Weasleys' house is on the other side of the woods,
Finny tightened the cane in his hand. The cane, which was originally only used for decoration, showed its original function for the first time, assisting walking and clearing weeds.

With the help of magic, Finny easily passed through the woods and saw the so-called Weasley's house.

It was a somewhat dilapidated yard with a dilapidated garage and the house of the Weasley family.

It seems that this house used to be a big pigsty built of stones, and some rooms were added later. Now it has several floors, but it is crooked. If it is not for the effect of magic, it will never be built.

Even if it is established, it will quickly collapse.

There are four or five chimneys exposed on the red roof, and I don't know that there are so many fireplaces that need so many chimneys.

In front of the yard is a sign with the words The Burrow written on it.
So true, Finny sighed secretly.

Walking into the yard, you can see the high-top leather boots thrown by the door, the rusty cauldron, and a few fat chickens pecking in the yard.

From the environment here, as well as the chickens and vegetables grown in the yard, it can be seen that the Weasley family is indeed different from other pure-blood families, and they have a very bad life.

Like other pure-blood families, the Weasleys seemed like normal families, but that didn't make Finny look down on this family.

He stood in front of the house door, tidied his clothes and attire, put the magic wand in his hand back into the cane, and gently knocked on the door of The Burrow.

After a while, a burst of hurried footsteps came out of the house,
Then the door of the room opened, and a not tall but fat lady with the same red hair stood inside and looked at Finny.

Slightly curly, red hair, and a face with a kind smile all showed her identity, the mistress of the Weasley family.Molly Weasley, that Finny's cousin-in-law.

"Are you Mrs. Weasley? I am Phineas Black. I had a letter yesterday explaining today's visit."

Feeney took off the top hat on his head and gave Molly a gentleman's salute, and introduced himself,

"Oh, Mr. Black, yes, I know you're coming to visit today, ah, please come in!"

Molly was also a little overwhelmed by Finny's respectful and formal words. The Weasleys are very lucky to have visitors, and even if they do, they are their good friends. There will be no such formal opening at all.
For Feeney's words made Molly ignore the fact that he himself was just a child of the same age as her fourth and fifth sons.Instead, invite him in with words to his peers.

Finny smiled and said,

"Mrs. Weasley, just call me Finny. If it's about relationship, I'll call you cousin."

Mo Li was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the one in front of her was just a child.
"Ah, Finny, come in, we're talking inside."

Feeney followed Molly into the Burrow's house. Although the house did not look very good on the outside, it was not bad inside, very warm and pleasant, although it was not big.

The Weasley family's living room is very small, so Molly brought Finny to the dining room, which is relatively large.

Of course, only relatively speaking, the kitchen of the Weasley family is still a bit crowded, with a clean wooden table and chairs in the middle,

There is no family tree on the wall of the kitchen. Instead, there is a magic wall clock. There is only one needle on the clock, and there is no number. Some knowledge makes tea, feeds the chicken, you are going to be late and waits for Molly's daily work.

There are three layers of books on the mantelpiece next to the clock, but they are all daily magic books like "The Magic of Baking Bread", not magic books.There is also a magic radio next to the pool, which is a rare product of Muggle technology for public sale in the wizarding world, and the Ministry of Magic also has a magic radio station.

Gryffindor's George Lee's father was a staff member of Magic Radio.

"I'm sorry, Finny, I didn't expect you to come at this hour, I'll be a little later, and come directly instead of walking."

Molly looked at Feeney and said apologetically,
Finny shook his head with a smile,

"It's my fault. I didn't notify in advance before I came. As for the reason why I came here on foot, I think it's better to be more formal when visiting for the first time."

 When I was writing a chapter, I checked the genealogy of the Black family out of curiosity. There was no information about the parents of Phineas Black I, the headmaster. I made it up, don't take it seriously. In addition, in Wikipedia, Arthur is considered to be Sirius' uncle in the family tree of the Black family, but in fact, Sirius once mentioned in the original book that Arthur is the great-grandson of his uncle's grandfather, According to the kinship relationship after the Five Generations in China, the uncle and grandfather belonged to one generation, and the grandson of the uncle and grandfather belonged to the same generation as Sirius, so Arthur was Sirius’ nephew rather than his uncle, because he was afraid of making the wrong relationship, and The family relationship of Arthur's mother was found out, and it was confirmed to be the case. However, in the Black family tree, the names of two generations of Arthur's mother and father were missing. However, the relationship with Principal Phineas Black was different. There is no problem, so I seriously doubt whether Aunt Rowling has made mistakes in the relationship between the characters that are not highlighted in these original works. Thinking of the currency system, financial system, Quidditch and other settings full of loopholes, I feel that my own Doubts may be correct, so let’s read carefully and follow the settings in this book.
