"So, you really knocked that Quirrell away with one move like Harry said?"

"That's so cool!"

The Weasley twins opened the door and everyone squeezed in. Ginny and Arthur were already sitting at the table, which was full of dishes: a particularly large pot of potato stew, a large bowl of grilled sausages, two plates of pasta piled high, as well as meat sauce, minced meat pies, steaks, and fruit and vegetable salads. It was hard to imagine how Mrs. Weasley could prepare meals for eight or nine people in such a short time.

After seeing the boys come back, Arthur quickly asked them to clean up and eat, and went upstairs to call Percy.

"Who is she?" Ginny saw Reina next to Harry and pointed at her.

Fred: "Didn't Daddy tell you, little Ginny?"

George: "This is Hermalena, Dad's guest and friend of Harry and Ron."

Ron muttered quietly, "She's not my friend."

Harry poked him with his elbow.

"I don't like her!" Ginny stood up suddenly.

"Ginny, what are you doing!" Mrs. Weasley came out, put down the plate she was holding, and said to Ginny with her hands on her hips.

"You can't be so rude. This is Dad's guest, Weasley's guest. Put away your insignificant jealousy. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Now, sit down here!"

Mrs. Weasley pulled Ginny over to her seat and pushed her into the chair, "I'm so sorry, Reina, just sit there. Don't mind her, she's still young and doesn't understand."

"It's okay, Mrs. Weasley." Reina smiled and sat down in her seat.

"Wow~ Little Ginny feels the crisis!"

"But Reyna was Dad's guest. We told her that, but Ginny didn't listen. She deserved to be scolded by Mom."

"Alright, both of you, sit down."

Mr. Weasley also took Percy downstairs. When Percy saw Rena, he was stunned for a moment, then sat in his seat as if he didn't see her.

During the meal, the Weasley twins asked Arthur about the job he had just negotiated. They seemed very interested in Reina's project. Percy seemed to doubt the development potential of her father's new business. Molly and Reina talked about family, Harry and Ron interjected a word or two from time to time, and only Ginny, who knew the whole truth, ate with a red face, occasionally looking up and secretly glancing at Reina, who responded with a generous smile.

The meal was a lively one. It had been a long time since Reina had eaten with so many people. The Weasley family always gave her a different feeling, noisy yet warm.

So today, she has to do the Weasley family another big favor.

Looking at the big black rat trapped in the cage on the cupboard, a light flashed in Reina's eyes.

After dinner, Mrs. Weasley asked Reina to stay. Reina had no intention of leaving, so she just politely declined a few times and stayed.

"Is that mouse your pet?" Lena pointed at the cupboard.

Fred: "Yes, to be exact, it was Percy's pet."

George: "Now it's little Ronnie's. His name is Scabbers. He has been in our family for ten years."

"Ten years! What kind of mouse can live for ten years?" Lena asked in surprise.

"Our mice live for ten years," Ron replied.

"I've never seen a mouse live for ten years," Harry agreed. "The average mouse only lives for a year, or two or three years at best."

"Oh my God!" Lena screamed.

Fred: “What’s wrong?”

"Is it some kind of magical animal?" Lena said in surprise.

George: "How is that possible? Banban is just a lazy dead rat."

"Then how can it live for ten years?" Harry also wondered. He had never doubted it before, but only now did he realize that Scabbers lived too long!

"Kids, what are you talking about?" Arthur came over after helping Molly clean up the kitchen.

Fred: "Dad, where did this mouse come from?"

"You mean Scabbers? I heard from Molly that it ran into our house one day, and then was raised as a pet by Percy."

"Mr. Weasley, I think this may not be an ordinary mouse." Reina said, "It is impossible for a mouse to live for ten years."

"What do you mean? Are you planning to take advantage of my pet again?" Ron quickly stepped forward and took Scabbers out to protect him.

"Can't mice live that long?" asked Arthur.

"A mouse that has lived this long has outlived wizards. It can even be said that it has lived longer than the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel. You know, he only lived to be six or seven hundred years old thanks to the Philosopher's Stone. Mr. Weasley, are you sure this is a normal mouse?"

Fred: "It doesn't seem normal to me now."

George: "I don't think Dad will live to be 500 years old either."

"What are you talking about!" Arthur slapped George hard.

Ron silently put Scabbers back into the cage, locked it, and then shouted, "How come it can live longer than a wizard! Dad, we are not raising a monster, this is too scary, too scary!"

Harry asked, "Are there any magical animals that look like mice but are not mice?"

George: "So there is no such thing as a magical animal that looks like a mouse but isn't a mouse."

Reina: "Is there any animal that could have been long-lived and escaped to your house after being cast into a Transfiguration spell?"

Fred: "The Transfiguration Charm can't last that long."

"Animagus can." Arthur said in a very serious tone, pulling out his wand, "Quickly knock him out!"

"Dad! What are you doing?" Ron said in surprise.

"Go call Mom." Arthur grabbed the unconscious mouse, walked out the door, and threw the mouse directly to the ground.

"Arthur, what happened? I was cleaning Percy's room when Fred and George came over and said that Scabbers was an Animagus?" Molly looked confused. "I thought he was playing a prank!"

Percy and Ginny also came over. Percy didn't want to pay attention to the twins at first, but they kept saying that the mouse they had raised before was a monster and that their father was there too, so he followed them to see what was going on.

Arthur stood in front of the children and pointed his wand at the mouse on the ground. "One spell will reveal the truth. I also want to see what a mouse that has lived for ten years looks like."

"Dad! What are you doing?" Bosi asked loudly.

"Bosi, your father has his reasons for doing this. Let's just watch." Molly stopped Bosi.

"Molly, get your wand ready, don't let it get away."

"Humph, don't forget what I did before." Molly also took out her wand and protected it in front of the older children.

"The true form is revealed!"

Arthur shouted a spell at Banban, and a flash of light passed by. Everyone found that the rat on the ground was twisting and getting bigger and fatter. After the deformation stopped, they looked at the ground and saw a person lying on the ground!

He still maintained the posture of a mouse, with his back curled up, his mouth open with teeth showing, his nose wrinkled, and his legs bent. After being a mouse for so long, he was almost losing his human form.
