Chapter 275 It's not easy for you either
——The time has finally come to invite Harry to our home, The Burrow.
Considering that this was Harry's first time using Apparition and Floo Powder, I gave him detailed instructions beforehand.
When Apparating, if you don't hold the caster firmly, you may be torn apart; and when using Floo Powder, if you accidentally pronounce the wrong word, you may lose your way and get lost. Therefore, after discussing with Charlie, I decided to let Harry move with Charlie for the first time, which would be safer.
It's not uncommon for preschoolers or young children with poor articulation to be moved with their parents using Floo powder, and for safety reasons we all agreed that this was the best arrangement. (As for Harry? He looked confused and said, "I don't know. I'll leave it to you.")
-By the way, since "Apparition" is difficult, and carrying large luggage is more dangerous, Harry's luggage has been sent to the Burrow via owl post in advance. Although it may not arrive earlier than us, it should be delivered by this evening at the latest.
"Well, Harry, I will wait for you at the Burrow first, and then you can come with Charlie. Don't worry, as long as you hold on to Charlie tightly, there will be no danger."
"I understand."
I left the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron first, sprinkled Floo powder into the fire, and when I saw the emerald green flames rising, I jumped in.
"The Burrow!"
After walking out of the fireplace, I was back home.
"I am back."
"Oh, welcome back, Ronnie. Where's Harry and Charlie?"
"They'll be here soon."
Molly, who was busy decorating the living room for Harry's birthday party, stopped waving her wand to decorate the room when she saw me coming back. At this moment, the green flame in the fireplace rose again.
"Welcome back, Charlie. And welcome to you, Harry. Welcome to The Burrow!"
"I am back."
"Hello, thank you for your invitation!"
Harry greeted with a big smile on his face, and suddenly heard a slight inhalation. Looking back, he saw Ginny, who was helping, looking particularly nervous, trying to straighten her dress, which was not messy at all.
Besides, that skirt is clearly mine.
"Ginny, you've been wearing my clothes again... that dress is my favorite."
It was a simple black dress with lilies embroidered on the hem. It was one of my favorite things, and even though it was a hand-me-down, I did all the sizing and embroidery myself. I didn't mind lending it to her, but I hated that she took it without permission and used it as if it were her own.
"Why not? You have plenty of clothes anyway."
I was a little annoyed that Ginny didn't even bother to look at me and was only paying attention to Harry's movements.
"I either altered or made every piece of clothing I own. You can do the same, Ginny."
Although her sewing skills are much better now, her attitude is still annoying. Seeing that the dispute between my sisters was about to escalate, my mother Molly quickly intervened, although her words were somewhat irrelevant.
"Look, this is not nice in front of guests. Ronnie, as an older sister, you should give a dress to your younger sister."
Hearing my mother's partial words and seeing Ginny's smug look, I almost exploded on the spot. But I held back. If I lost control of my emotions now, I would only be scolded by my mother, and finally even my skirt would be taken away.
"Mom, don't change the subject. What we are talking about is that taking someone else's things without permission is equivalent to stealing, which is a dishonorable behavior. Ginny is going to Hogwarts already. If she keeps doing this, even in front of her family, she will soon have a bad reputation in school."
Hearing this, my mother Molly was speechless. Charlie saw this and immediately spoke up for me.
"Ronnie is right, Mom. You should know that in Hogwarts, news, whether good or bad, spreads quickly. If Ginny did something like this in school, it would be spread all over the place, and eventually all the students in the school would distance themselves from her."
At times like this, my parents usually favored Ginny, the youngest, so my brothers would naturally stand on my side. Especially when Bill and Charlie said something, my parents were more receptive.
"Well...it is true. Ginny, return the dress to your sister. Don't you have a dress that your mother made for you?"
Mom Molly suddenly changed her stance and demanded that Ginny give me back the dress. Ginny glared at me angrily, but I wasn't going to give in.
In fact, I also understand that the clothes my mother makes are really not that good... although I dare not say it to her face.
Although I can understand her feelings, it is still wrong to take other people's things without permission. Ginny saw that Harry was looking at her performance in surprise, her face changed, and she hurried upstairs.
After all, this expression was not what she wanted her sweetheart to see. Even though her sweetheart was my best friend Harry.
"I'm going to change clothes!"
As footsteps came up the stairs, Harry looked at me and I shrugged helplessly.
"I'm sorry for the mess."
"It's okay. Ronnie, it's not easy for you either. Dudley often steals my things from me, too."
It seems that in just a few minutes, Harry's impression of Ginny has been equated with Dudley, and has become a "spoiled and willful child". However, it doesn't matter. Who knows if Harry and Ginny will develop feelings in this world? After all, romantic stories with bad first impressions are very common in books.
