Chapter 509： In the newspaper (1/2)

Ron Weasley had an unpleasant summer vacation.

Not long ago, because I was asking Percy to borrow the owl, I had trouble with each other.

Ron had completely lost contact with Harry since the last call.

Hermione said in the letter that Harry's uncle might hate wizards, so Harry was forbidden to contact his friends in the wizarding world, and suggested that Hagrid visit Harry instead of them.

Ron also thought Hermione's proposal was very good, so he wrote a letter to Hagrid, but his owl Errol was already very old, and he couldn't bear to let it fly too far to deliver the letter.

Since Percy became the prefect, the family has bought an owl, so Ron wanted to borrow it from him.

It was just that Percy repeatedly found some bad excuses to reject him, which made Ron very annoyed.

”Percy still doesn't want to borrow an owl.” Fred, who was playing the wizard card with Ginny, raised his head to look at Ron, who was downstairs in desperation, and asked.

”Hemes has gone out to deliver the letter.” Percy explained casually.

”Don't tell me, you have endless letters every day.” Ron was checking Errol's situation, and after hearing Percy's words, he turned his head and glared at him, ”Tell me to lie and think of a good excuse.”

In the end, Ron was still not willing to let the elderly Errol go out to help him deliver the letter to Hagrid. Crossing most of Britain was a severe test for an elderly owl.

”I have.” Percy flushed flushed and stared at Ron and said, ”As for who I send the letter to, it has nothing to do with you.”

Ginny glanced at Percy secretly, she knew who Percy was writing to during the summer vacation.

”Harry hasn't got any news yet?” George took a sip of his drink, picked up the Daily Prophet on the counter, and sat down next to Fred.

”No.”

Ron thought it was the trouble he caused the last time he called Harry.

At the time, it was Harry's uncle who answered the phone, and that person's tone was very bad, or extremely bad.

”Hermione thought Harry might be trapped at home, and the uncle who adopted him hates wizards, so Hermione suggested that Hagrid help us visit Harry.”

Unbeknownst to Ron, Hagrid actually wrote a few letters to Harry, and never got a reply. He suspected Harry was in trouble.

It's just that Dumbledore had reminded him before that if it wasn't important, don't disturb Harry's life, so Hagrid didn't have the idea of ​​going to Harry directly.

Of course, if Hagrid knew about Harry, he would probably visit the Dursleys in person.

”When I get rich, I must buy an owl myself.” Ron stuffed the letter back into his pocket and mumbled softly.

”You have money? You have no hope.” Fred joked with a smile, ”In the future, when we have money, you can help us work again!”

”Are you rich?” Ron curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Of course he knew what Fred and George were doing, but he didn't understand, where the self-confidence of these two guys came from, and with their family situation, they couldn't help them at all.

”This is not something you should worry about.” George took a sip of his drink and opened today's Daily Prophet. As soon as he drank the drink in his mouth, he was sprayed out and showered with Percy who was sitting across the table. face.

”What the **** are you doing!” Percy growled.

”Look at today's headlines!” George, regardless of the furious Percy, put the Daily Prophet on the table and greeted the others excitedly.

”what happened?”

Fred was the first to move his head over, and then his eyes widened in surprise, ”It's really Albert. That guy actually ran to France and got himself an international wizard chess champion.”

Several children in the Weasley family leaned at the table looking at the black and white photos on the headlines.

That is a photo of Albert holding the international wizard chess trophy.

Ron looked at the text under the black-and-white photo and read it softly: ”The Albert Anderson player from England, defeated all his opponents and became the youngest champion ever in an international wizard chess tournament.”

Looking at the beautiful young man in the photo, Ron only felt sour in his heart.

The opponent is obviously not a few years older than himself, and he has already won the glory of the international wizard chess champion.

What about yourself?

In fact, if possible, Ron also wants to participate in the international wizard chess competition, and also wants to get this glory like Anderson.

It's a pity that everything can only be thought in his mind, he can't even go to France, let alone participate in the international wizard chess competition.

”I remember that last time the guy wrote and said that he was going to the United States with someone, so let's not send him letters!” Fred muttered, ”Actually, he wrote the wrong location!”

”Children, what are you doing?” Mr. Weasley, who had just left work, walked in from the door and asked, looking at the children gathered at the table.

”We are watching the news that Albert won the international wizard chess championship.” Percy was still wiping her cheeks with a handkerchief. ”I never knew he was so good in wizard chess.”

”It's just that you don't know it.” Fred said wryly

”Reporters from the Daily Prophet are looking for him now and want to give him an exclusive interview.” Mr. Weasley knows a little bit of inside information, ”No one knows where he is now.”

”He seems to say he is going to America.”
