Chapter 440: Charlie and Bill

The Dursley's living room was a mess.

Dudley was clutching his buttock and the pig's tail that had just come out, screaming loudly.

Mrs. Dursley screamed and looked at Dudley, who was turning into a pig, and dropped to the floor beside him.

Mr. Dursley was furious, waving his hands indiscriminately, bellowing at Ivan.

"Calm down, calm down, I can solve this problem, don't worry!"

Mr. Weasley had to shout to make himself heard.

He raised his wand and walked towards Dudley, waving his hand and wishing the Dursleys would calm down.

However, this was simply futile.

At the sight of the wand in his hand, the three opposites became even more alarmed, and the screams became even louder.

They seemed to think that Mr. Weasley wanted to hurt Dudley and desperately wanted to stop him.

Until then, both Hagrid and Dobby, the house elf, made Dudley grow a pig's tail.

Turning Dudley into a combination of human and pig was a first!

Nightmare, this was a nightmare, the worst nightmare!

Mrs. Dursley used her body to protect Dudley and sobbed hysterically.

Mr. Dursley, who had completely lost control, grabbed a porcelain figurine from the top of the sideboard and threw it hard at Mr. Weasley. Even Ivan and Harry, who were standing by the fireplace, were almost hit.

"Don't make trouble now!" Mr. Weasley said angrily, waving his wand. "I really want to help you. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a complex Transfiguration curse, my son Fred... a prank left by him, he..."

Mr. Weasley couldn't go on, Mr. Dursley snarled and roared.

Bellowing like a wounded hippopotamus, he snatched another ornament from the wall.

"Ivan, Harry, go away!" Mr. Weasley shouted. "Let me handle this!"

Ivan and Harry looked at each other and stepped into the burning flames.

What they finally saw was Mr. Weasley use his wand to smash a flying ornament to pieces.

The Dursley room was looking more and more like a battlefield, and the beauty it used to have was gone.

For Muggles, who had always hated wizards, this day was extremely terrible for this family.

Not surprisingly, this scene was enough to scar the Dursleys for life.

Soon, Ivan left number 4 Privet Drive.

He began to turn very fast, and the Dursleys' living room was lost from sight in a flurry of emerald green flames. Fuzzy chimneys whizzed past him at great speed.

Just as Ivan was dizzy and nauseous, his feet hit the floor again.

Harry was beside him, and he looked as bad as ever.

They emerged from the Burrow fireplace and were greeted by cheers from Fred and George.

"Well, did he eat it?" Fred said excitedly.

"Yes!" Ivan nodded and was led to the table.

"What was it?" Harry asked curiously. "I saw Dudley turn into a pig."

"This is our latest joke product." Fred said excitedly. "George and I studied all summer vacation. You don't know how many experiments we've done before we succeeded. We've been looking for someone to test it on."

"You can't do this, this is, this is illegal!" Hermione frowned.

But no one paid any attention to her. Harry, Ron, Fred and George were laughing happily and making a mess.

"We were just worried about Ivan ruining our plan!" Fred said with a grin.

"Yeah, you know, you two have always had a strong sense of justice!" George added, pointing at Ivan and Hermione.

"Then why didn't you stop him?" Hearing both of them, Hermione turned angrily and looked at Ivan.

In fact, Ivan really wanted to stop him.

When he poured the juice, he also specifically reminded her of Dudley.

However, the Dursley's attitude towards Harry seemed really irritating. Besides, Dudley popped the candy in his mouth too quickly for him to react.

Before Ivan could explain it to Hermione, two young redheads entered from outside.

Immediately, Ivan knew who they were, the two older Weasleys brothers, Bill and Charlie.

Charlie greeted Harry, and looked very solid.

Bill went straight to Ivan and Hermione, and he looked very good.

Ivan had heard Ron say earlier that Bill worked for the goblins at Gringotts. He was very strong and had been a senior at Hogwarts.

From Ron's vague description, Bill had always given the illusion that he might be an older version of Percy: fussy about breaking the rules and fond of bossing everyone around.

But in reality, that wasn't the case at all.

Bill's attire was more avant-garde than anyone Ivan had ever seen, wizard or Muggle.

He was a very handsome man.

He was tall, with long hair that he had tied back in a ponytail behind his head. He wore an earring with what looked like a fang dangling from it.

Bill's clothes would not have looked out of place at a rock concert.

As for his boots, they were not leather, but dragon skin.

For the Weasleys, who had always been a relatively conservative family, it was amazing to have a son like Bill.

But it was undeniable that even though he was dressed like that, he was excellent in every way.

"Hello, Ivan, hello, Hermione!" Bill said with a smile. "I heard Ron talking about you!"

When Ivan and Bill shook hands, he felt a strange wave of magic.

After the curse was broken, Ivan was now very sensitive to the fluctuations of magic.

But Bill's magical reaction was something he had never known before, perhaps a magic passed down from ancient Egypt.

Ivan's eyes wandered back and forth around Bill's ornaments, looking for suspicious magical objects.

Then he thought he might be able to talk to him! Bill was breaking curses for the Gringotts goblins at the Great Pyramid in Egypt - he must know about the Emerald Tablet!

Ivan wanted to find out information related to this thing, so he could get ready soon.

After greeting Harry, Charlie also appeared.

He had a good, broad-faced, weather-beaten look on his face, but with a bright smile.

His face was so freckled he looked almost tanned.

He was like the twins, shorter and stockier than Percy and Ron, who were long and lanky.

But his arms were muscular, and one of them had a big glowing burn.

Shaking his hand, Ivan felt calluses and blisters under his fingers.

Ivan had heard earlier that Charlie was working with dragons in Romania; it seemed that dealing with them must be very difficult!
