Several people stopped talking and quickly finished the food on their plates.

Mrs. Weasley ruthlessly punished the three Weasley brothers by making them clear the yard of goblins.

Although she asked Harry to go to sleep, he was not sleepy at all. Su Xingchen had to join in the fun of this novel thing.

Of course, the four big boys would not let a girl do it. Ron bent down and buried his head in the peony bushes. There was a fierce struggle, and the peony branches trembled. Then he straightened up, holding a little man upside down in his hand.

"That's a goblin," said Ron.

"Let me go, let me go!" The goblin screamed with a stern face.

Su Xingchen looked at it curiously. It didn't look like the goblins on TV at all. Its bald round head was like a big potato and its skin was rough. The only thing that was the same was its small body.

Then Ron swung his arm a few times and threw the goblin far away.

Fred came running over and said he could throw farther, and the boys began to compete with each other, and soon the garden was full of goblins.

Harry was a little reluctant at first, but he soon lost sympathy for the goblins. Perhaps because they saw him as weak, a goblin bit his finger hard, and he couldn't shake it off. Finally...

"Wow! Harry, you must have been fifty feet away with that one," exclaimed Ron.

Such moments always made Su Xingchen very happy watching the fun.

After they played for a while, Mr. Weasley came back.

He was a thin man, a little bald, but where he did have hair he was as red as his children.

He was wearing a green robe that was a little worn and looked dusty.

Mr. Weasley came home and slumped in a chair in the kitchen, babble-ing for a long time before he realized there were two more people in the house.

"who are you?"

"Dad, this is Xingchen and this is Harry," Ron introduced.

"Harry? Which Harry?" Mr. Weasley asked blankly, then immediately jumped up.

"Merlin, is this Harry Potter? Nice to meet you, Ron told us so much about you..."

"Your son drove that car to pick up Harry from his house last night," Mrs. Weasley shouted, interrupting Mr. Weasley. "What do you want to say?"

"Really? Does it fly well?" Seeing the anger in his wife's eyes, Mr. Weasley quickly changed his words, "I mean - well, this is wrong, children, very, very wrong..."

Su Xingchen had a blank expression on his face, but he was actually laughing inside. What a strict mother and kind father.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had a quarrel, of course it was one-sided on Mrs. Weasley's part.

"Let them argue, I'll show you my room." Ron whispered to the two.

The three of them slipped out of the kitchen, walked through the narrow corridor, and came to an uneven staircase.

The staircase wound its way around, and on the third landing a door stood half open.

Harry caught a glimpse of a pair of brown eyes staring at him, and the door clicked shut.

"It's Ginny," said Ron. "You don't know how incredibly shy she is. She never closes the door."

Could it be that Ginny has fallen in love with Harry so early?

Su Xingchen was confused and thought it started after Harry saved Ginny in the second year. She couldn't help but sigh that children abroad are really precocious.

After climbing two more flights of stairs, they came to a door with peeling paint and a small sign above it that read: Ron's Room.

Walking in, the sloping ceiling almost hit his head. Ron's textbooks were piled messily in the corner, next to some comic books. His wand was resting on the large fish tank on the windowsill, which was full of frog eggs.

The mouse snored in the sunlight on the windowsill, but Su Xingchen decided to ignore it. She was curious whether the house had always been this high, or if it had been magically increased as Ron grew taller.

Harry found it a bit blinding, like a furnace, because everything in Ron's room was a blazing orange-yellow: the bedspread, the walls, even the ceiling.

Then Harry noticed that Ron had covered every inch of the tattered wallpaper with posters of the same seven witches and wizards, all in bright orange robes, waving merrily with broomsticks.

"Your Quidditch team?" Harry asked.

"The Chudley Cannons." Ron pointed to the orange-yellow bed sheet with two large C1s and a speeding cannonball on it. "Ninth place in the club."

Harry stepped over a deck of self-shuffling cards and looked out the small window. The goblins were filing into the yard. He turned and found Ron looking at him nervously, as if waiting for his comment.

"It's a bit small," Ron said hastily. "It's not as good as your Muggle room. There's a ghoul living in the attic above me. He bangs on the pipes all day and groans..."

Harry smiled pleasantly, "But this is the nicest room I've ever seen."

Ron went to see Su Xingchen again.

"Great." Su Xingchen nodded with a smile. The magician's house was really interesting, except for the weird thing about having a zombie living above the room.

Ron's ears turned red.

Su Xingchen returned to Privet Drive that night. Although Ron and Harry both wanted Su Xingchen to stay, she was not familiar with the only girl, Ginny, and it would be awkward to sleep together.

Moreover, if there was one more person, the burden on the Weasley family would be even heavier, so Su Xingchen finally refused everyone's attempts to keep him.

Harry settled down at the Burrow and wrote a letter to Su Xingchen every day, describing the chaotic and magical life at Ron's house. For example, he often practiced Quidditch with Ron and the twins in the Muggle village, using apples as balls for fear that the real Quidditch balls would hit the Muggles. Mrs. Weasley made him lick four mouthfuls of his plate at every meal, Mr. Weasley was always asking him about Muggle things, and Ginny was always knocking things over.

Su Xingchen watched with great interest.

One day a week later, Su Xingchen received three letters at the same time.

One letter was about Harry's daily life, one was a school notice, and the other was from Hermione, asking her to go to Diagon Alley to buy books next Wednesday.

This was the first time Hermione had written to her during the entire summer vacation, as usually the two "Muggles" would talk on the phone.

Su Xingchen decided to go to a hotel in London a day in advance to stay for one night, and then go to Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron. The feeling of using Floo powder was not very good, and his body was about to be torn apart.

On Wednesday, Su Xingchen arrived at the door of Gringotts as promised. The two girls, who hadn't seen each other for the entire summer vacation, gave each other a big hug happily. Su Xingchen also regained some of the feeling of being a little girl at this time.

Hermione wanted to go into the bank to exchange money. Su Xingchen said that she didn't want to see the elves, so she stood on the stairs waiting for her to come out.

Then she saw Hagrid picking up Harry by the collar like a chicken, patting the dust off Harry with his hands and feet, and almost pushing him into a large barrel in front of a store door.

"Harry, Hagrid!" Su Xingchen raised his arms and waved at the two of them.

When Harry looked up, he saw Su Xingchen standing on the white steps of Gringotts, her soft black hair blowing in the wind as she walked.

"Nice to see you." When Su Xingchen got closer, he found that Harry's face and body were black, looking like coal dust, and his glasses were broken.

Now I remembered, the first time I used Floo powder I ended up in that scary alley.

"Your glasses..." Su Xingchen curled his eyes, trying his best to hold back his laughter, and secretly reminded himself not to laugh at children.

She pulled her wand from her storage bracelet and pointed it at Harry, whose eyes widened.

"Back to good old condition." With a light click, Harry's glasses became as good as new.

Su Xingchen smiled as he retracted his wand: "What's wrong? What do you think I'm going to do to you?"

Harry was a little embarrassed. He was indeed a little scared for a moment just now.

"I won't hurt you." Su Xingchen continued.

"I know." Harry's face flushed, not sure if it was because of embarrassment or something else.

"Are you going to withdraw money?"

"I'll go once I find the Weasleys first."

"You'll find them soon," laughed Hagrid.

Su Xingchen and Harry looked around and saw the Weasley family running quickly down the crowded street.

Everyone gathered around Harry and asked him how he was doing. The twins were very excited to hear that Harry had gone to Knockturn Alley. Mrs. Weasley even took out a coat brush from her bag and brushed off the remaining cinders on Harry.

"Well, I must be going," said Hagrid, his hand being held tightly by Mrs. Weasley, who was mumbling words of gratitude.

"See you at Hogwarts!" Hagrid strode away, a head and shoulders taller than everyone else on the street.

Harry also wanted to go in and withdraw money, and the Weasley family accompanied him. Of course, they also wanted to withdraw money.

Su Xingchen finally went into Gringotts. Mrs. Weasley didn't want her to stand outside waiting alone. Fred said it would look silly.

As they walked, Harry told everyone about his encounter with the Malfoys at Borgin and Burke's.

"He's scared." Mr. Weasley angrily wanted to grab Malfoy's evidence, but his attention was quickly drawn away.

He saw Hermione's parents standing awkwardly in front of the counter that ran the length of the marble hall, waiting for Hermione to introduce them.

"Ah! You are Muggles." Mr. Weasley said happily, "We must go for a drink. What do you have in your hands? Oh, you are exchanging Muggle currency, Molly, look." He pointed excitedly at the ten pounds in Mr. Granger's hand.

"See you here later." Harry said to Su Xingchen and Hermione. He and the Weasley family were going to the underground vault.

Not to mention how embarrassed Harry was when he saw that the Weasley family's vault only had a gold Galleon and a small pile of silver Sickles. He hurriedly grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins from his own vault and left as quickly as possible.

Mrs. Weasley was going to take Ginny to a shop selling used robes, Mr. Weasley insisted on having a drink at the Leaky Cauldron with the Grangers, Percy wanted to buy a new quill, and the twins saw their friend Lee Jordan.

We agreed to meet at Flourish and Blotts in an hour.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Su Xingchen strolled along the winding cobblestone street.

The gold coins in Harry's pocket jingled happily, as if saying "Spend us", so Harry bought four large strawberry cream ice creams, and the four of them strolled around leisurely, eating ice cream and browsing the dazzling shop windows.
