Chapter 414: Stocking Up
When the three of them slipped to the fireplace.
Lady Wei Silai, that is, Mo Li, was humming a song and busy in the kitchen.
The magic radio was playing a song, and the Wei Silai twins were shaking their heads to the rhythm of the song.
"Great Mr. Green, do you know what song this is?"
Fred put on an expression of "Ask me, and I will explain it for you."
"Oh, no, we have to go quickly, it's reaching the high-pitched part!"
George reminded in a panic.
"It's too late—George, put earplugs on Green."
Fred put earplugs on George, and before Sean could react, his own ears were covered too.
He looked at the kitchen, not quite understanding:
Lady Wei Silai raised her head slightly, seemingly accumulating strength. She tapped her wand lightly, potatoes automatically peeled and jumped into the water basin, carrots lined up to jump onto the cutting board, skillfully cut into uniform pieces. The stew pot bubbled on the stove, beef rolled in the rich soup, emitting the mellow aroma of meat juice.
"Oh, my poor heart, where did it go? It left me, hooked away by magic... and now you have torn it, please return my heart to me—!"
Sean didn't hear anything, the earplugs seemed to have magic cast on them, but he saw even the glass cups trembling.
"There are always a few days a month..."
Fred, who also put on earplugs, spread his hands.
"The reason is probably that even if Dad's ears bleed from listening, he still has to say Mom sings well..."
George had already stepped into the fireplace.
Not far in front of the fireplace stood an old but clean sofa, and Sean was standing on the other side of the sofa.
"Diagon Alley!"
He saw George burned away by the flames.
"If Mom's male idol is Gilderoy Lockhart, then her female idol is Celestina Warbeck. She has liked listening to Celestina Warbeck's songs since she was young, and she has been listening for more than ten years."
Fred said while making a gesture of invitation in front of the fireplace,
"Great Green, we should go, but be quiet."
This was the first time Sean used a normal fireplace for transmission, after all, that portable fireplace at the Alchemy Assembly couldn't really be considered normal.
He paused slightly, making sure he thought clearly about the name of Diagon Alley, ensuring he wouldn't be transmitted to Knockturn Alley.
That was a gathering place for dark wizards, for a young wizard... well, a bit dangerous.
"Diagon Alley."
Sean took some Floo powder from the bucket, and soon he disappeared too.
When he came out, the dazzling shops in front of him had all lit up their corridor lights.
"Let's go!"
George led the way excitedly,
"Ah, coming here as a shop owner is much better than someone buying things!"
"I don't think anyone can deny that."
Fred also drilled out of the flames.
The Wei Silai and Green Magic Trick Shop had been renovated, and there was a clown on the shop door taking off his hat. When he took off his hat, a white rabbit popped out of it.
The crowded crowd was gone, the queuing time had long ended, but occasionally there would still be young wizards walking here, then asking the adults beside them in disappointment:
"Hasn't it opened yet?"
So Sean and the others could only slip in from the back door.
"Are the 20 Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder ready? George?"
Fred asked.
"Of course, 30 Ton-Tongue Toffees?"
George checked skillfully.
"All ready—"
"Then—16 elk cookies, 23 squirrel cookies, 136 cat cookies, and 300 sets of eccentric Wizard Chess?"
A voice came faintly from the unlit shop.
Sean turned his head slowly, and on his head was the shop manager Gert, who had very heavy dark circles.
"Is it missing so much?!"
Fred had already jumped up.
Gert turned on the lights, and the window display arranged by Fred and George attracted people's attention like a fireworks exhibition. Before long, several obsessed wizards surrounded the front of the shop.
"Mr. Green, if you don't replenish some before opening, then I can only resign. You will know what crazy wizards can do—especially in Diagon Alley where magic can be cast at will."
Miss Gert said resentfully.
"I'll handle it."
Fred looked serious.
"And me."
George was rarely serious too.
"Oh—oh?"
Miss Gert was overjoyed at this moment, rubbing her dark circles, sitting beside a row of dazzling pink products, waiting for the good show to begin.
It's a pity there wasn't any popcorn or something... she thought with some loss.
The next scene, however, made her drop her glasses.
"Make some! Great Green!"
Fred howled without hesitation, almost howling in Sean's ear.
"Great Green—"
George squeezed his eyes frantically, not shedding a drop of tears.
Sean was already used to the behavior of the Wei Silai twins.
He pushed away Fred, who was hugging his leg, with effort, and took out many cookie boxes from the Undetectable Extension Bag given by Professor Maige.
The eccentric Wizard Chess was also shrunk and placed inside.
"Are you always like this?"
Miss Gert asked confusedly.
When returning to the Burrow, Fred and George still couldn't forget their business plan.
"The rent for a shop in Diagon Alley is 700 Galleons, and we can earn the rent for more than ten shops in half a year, and this is still in the state of not opening... Do you know what this means?"
Fred drilled out of the fireplace.
Sean looked behind him, where there was a Lady Wei Silai who was steaming with anger.
"Shh—"
George reminded in a low voice.
"George, what are you saying? It's really strange, it clearly means we can open all over the UK—Mom!"
Fred turned his head stiffly. He said in a tone he thought was relaxed and cute.
"Good evening, Mom."
"Do you know how worried I am?"
Lady Wei Silai said in a low voice that made people's hearts jump.
"Sorry, Mom, but we must—"
Both of Lady Wei Silai's sons were taller than her, but when her anger erupted, they were all trembling.
"The room is empty! No note left! People are gone too... and bringing this child Green... I was worried crazy... have you thought about it?
... I have never in my life... wait for your father to come back and see how he cleans you up, Bill, Charlie, and Percy have never had this kind of thing happen..."
"Model Percy."
Fred muttered.
Lady Wei Silai took a step forward and pulled Sean out from the fireplace.
"Poor child, Fred and George have always been unreliable in doing things, don't listen to them next time."
"Oh, Mom, we want to tell you a sad fact, if there must be someone to listen to, there will only be one person's voice—Great Green—"
Fred made a gesture of worship.
"You still dare to push the responsibility onto little Green?!" ===== CHAPTER 415 =====
