To continue our story.
Having driven off the Malfoys, Harry and the others bought their books and left Flourish and Blotts.
They had just crossed the intersection when they spotted a massive, broad-shouldered man. Harry saw he was a good meter taller than a normal wizard, with a wild mane of hair. Who else could it be but Hagrid?
He strode forward and clapped Hagrid on the thigh. "Aiya! Brother! This little brother has missed you to death!"
Hagrid, startled by the pat, thought it was another amorous, bored noblewoman trying to accost him. He roared:
"I don't care who you are! Get away from me! I'm not—Oh, Harry, it's you."
"Long time no see, Ron, Hermione."
Seeing his panic, Harry asked, "Brother, why did you react like that?"
"Oh... nothing. Just thought you were someone else." Hagrid brushed it off, then held up a bag. "Can you believe it? The price of Bulbadox powder has gone up again."
"I thought that was sheep feed?" Hermione glanced at the bulging bag. "Are you raising a lot of sheep, Hagrid?"
"Ah, right. I'm keeping a flock near the Forest. A few hundred of 'em."
"A few hundred?!" Ron's eyes widened. "What are you doing with so many sheep?"
Hagrid chuckled. "They're all food for Norberta—that's Norbert. I only found out this summer I'd gotten her gender wrong..."
Norberta was now half a year old and growing fast. She was already six or seven feet long, too big for Hagrid's hut, so he had to build her a shelter near the Forest.
Mrs. Weasley, hearing Hagrid was raising a dragon at the school, turned pale. "A dragon?! How could Dumbledore allow it? What if it hurts a student?"
"Relax, ma'am." Hagrid gave Harry a wink. "Professor Dumbledore put a charm on Norberta. She can only roam far from the Forest; she can't get near the castle."
"Oh, if that's the case, I'm relieved."
Harry and Hagrid hadn't seen each other in a long time and had much to discuss.
Ron, however, couldn't wait. He said goodbye and rushed off to Ollivanders.
The wand he currently used was his older brother Charlie's old one. It was seven or eight years old.
The wand didn't suit him. Every time he cast a spell, his magic felt scattered, and the wand disobedient.
Now that his pockets were heavy and he was in Diagon Alley, how could he not replace this old hand-me-down?
After Ron left, the other Weasleys scattered.
Arthur and Molly skipped the second-hand robe shop and went straight to Madam Malkin's; Percy clutched his gold and headed for the apothecary; Fred and George hurried to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
Ginny looked around. Seeing her parents and brothers gone, she looked at Harry. "Harry, can you... help me pick an owl?"
Hermione glanced over. Ginny was twisting her fingers, her cheeks red with shyness.
Harry smiled. "Sister asks, how can this older brother refuse?"
He then turned to Hagrid. "Brother, you are a master of beasts. I wonder if you could accompany my sister and help her pick a suitable owl?"
Hagrid, an agreeable sort, nodded. "Don't worry, Harry. I'll help Miss Weasley pick a top-notch owl."
"Just like your Hedwig."
With that, he patted a stone-faced Ginny. "Let's go, little lady. Let's pick a pet."
One was willing, but the other was oblivious. Even someone as sharp as Hermione couldn't help but compose a poem:
A young girl's heart blooms, a fragrant flower,
Eagerly she invites him for the hour.
But Harry, oblivious to romance's art,
Is full of only brotherly love in his heart.
After two or three hours, Harry and Hermione, having been fitted for new robes, met the Weasleys at the fireplace.
The red-haired wizards all looked tired, but ecstatic. New robes, new pets, potion ingredients... they were refreshed inside and out.
Harry smiled. "It's true that clothes make the man. Director, in these new robes, you look almost like the Minister of Magic."
Arthur waved his hand. "Oh, Harry, you're making me blush."
Molly called, "Let's go, children! Grab your things! We're going home!"
One by one, they took the Floo powder and returned to the Burrow, where they sorted their new things.
That evening, Mrs. Weasley pushed several tables together and laid out a great feast.
Behold: Salt-and-pepper lamb ribs piled on red lacquer trays; charcoal-grilled beef on white porcelain plates. Fat chickens were torn into strips; tender geese were roasted till fragrant. Sweet juices were lined up neatly; fruits and vegetables were scattered about.
Everyone ate until their stomachs were round. Mrs. Weasley even turned a blind eye and let the younger ones have some wine.
The next day, Harry woke Ron and Hermione for their training.
The two were still drunk and unwilling to get up, until Harry said, "If you slack off, Big Sister and Brother, how will you take care of that scoundrel Malfoy at school?"
Hearing this, both of them shot up and followed Harry downstairs.
Time flew. In a flash, it was the first day of school. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley packed the luggage and took the children to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
"Ginny, if you have any problems, find your brothers."
"Write to us!"
After many fond farewells, they let Ginny board the train.
Ginny ran into a carriage but didn't see Harry. Ron waved. "Ginny, do me a favor and find an empty compartment. I'm going to find Harry and Hermione."
Fred and George were putting on a show in the front car. Harry and Hermione had boarded earlier and gone to watch.
Ron, eager to see, pawned the job off on Ginny.
Ginny was reluctant, but Ron was already gone. She had no choice but to search.
She passed seven or eight cars, sliding open dozens of doors, but every compartment was full.
She was getting frustrated. She was about to shove another door open when she heard a familiar, bragging voice from inside.
"My father got this potion from a friend at MACUSA. It's specifically for building muscle."
"The lower-year students at Ilvermorny use this potion to fight."
"B-but... are there any side effects?"
"Let me ask you this: why would my father try to hurt me? I'm the only Malfoy heir!"
