Chapter 441: Everyone is angry

The small kitchen was a mess, and everyone was excited to talk about Dudley turning into a pig. Fred and George gloated and introduced their new pranks, developed this summer.

They made lots of deformation candy, which could turn diners into animals such as pigs, rabbits, and dogs.

Perhaps due to the lack of magic in the candy, it could only transfigure parts of the consumer's body.

It couldn't cause a complete change, but this made these metamorphic joke candies even more interesting.

Harry and Ron thought these things were cool, and Charlie and Bill were also very interested.

Only Hermione seemed unhappy. She thought Fred and George's products were dangerous.

She didn't listen to Ivan's explanation, and she was obviously angry.

Hermione was angry that Ivan knew about Fred and George's prank, but it didn't stop Dudley from eating the candy.

In fact, she no longer spoke to Ivan. She just squinted, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, looking at Ivan without saying a word.

Ivan felt some guilt and didn't look at her. Hermione was now as serious as Professor McGonagall.

As Ivan thought about how to please Hermione, a faint noise was heard in the air.

Then Mr. Weasley appeared out of nowhere and put his hand on George's shoulder.

He also looked angry. His face, which had been smiling the whole time, was now full of anger.

"That wasn't funny!" he muttered. "Fred, George, what did you give that Muggle?"

"We didn't give him anything." Fred said with an evil grin on his face. "We just went upstairs to load Harry's trunk, and accidentally dropped it on the floor, who told him to pick it up and eat it himself? It's not our fault."

"Yeah, we didn't even know the candy was taken by him, we just got back early!" added George.

"Don't think I don't know, you gave him that candy on purpose!" Mr. Weasley yelled. "You knew he would definitely eat it. You knew the muggle was on a diet..."

"What happened in the end?" Fred asked excitedly, "He turned into a pig?"

"Only the pig's nose and tail have grown - I've already changed him back!" Mr. Weasley said with a sigh of relief. "His parents were scared and it was a big mess."

Thinking of Dudley's funny look, Harry and the Weasley brothers roared with laughter again.

"Stop it, it's not funny!" Mr. Weasley shouted angrily. "That kind of behavior seriously undermines relations between wizards and Muggles! I spend half my life campaigning against the mistreatment of Muggles, and my own children..."

"We didn't give it to him because he's a Muggle!" Fred said indignantly.

"No, we gave it to him because he's a big bullying jerk," George said. "Isn't he, Harry?"

"Yes, he is, Mr. Weasley." Harry said very seriously.

"That's not the point!" raged Mr. Weasley, "Wait till I tell your mother..."

"Tell me what?" said a voice behind them.

Mrs. Weasley had just entered the kitchen; her eyes narrowed with suspicion.

"Oh, hello, Harry, dear, you're here!" she said when she saw him and smiled.

Then she walked over, hugged Hermione and whispered, "Hello, Hermione, did you have a nice vacation?!"

When it was Ivan's turn, Mrs. Weasley's expression seemed a little stiff.

She didn't look at him with a smile like Harry and Hermione; she didn't look very happy.

She was obviously angry with Ivan as well.

Ivan was puzzled for a while. He didn't know why Mrs. Weasley had that look on her face, what was going on today? how was everyone mad at him?

But in the end, Mrs. Weasley was still smiling and hugging Ivan. It was as if she forgave him.

Then she looked back at her husband.

"Tell me, Arthur, what the hell is going on?" she said suspiciously. "What are you talking about?"

Although he was talking to Mr. Weasley, his eyes were always looking at Fred and George.

Mr. Weasley hesitated and it was apparent that although he was angry with Fred and George, he had no intention of telling Mrs. Weasley.

If he did, the two of them would definitely end up miserable.

Mr. Weasley looked at his wife nervously and no one spoke for a while.

Ivan felt someone walking behind him. He looked back and saw Ginny. Like two months ago, Ginny's figure was still very small, but she had become more beautiful.

She smiled and waved at Ivan, then rolled her eyes at Harry across the table.

Harry smiled at her as well, and Ginny immediately blushed.

Everyone knew that Ginny was very fascinated with Harry. She was his most loyal fan.

"Come on, Arthur, what the hell is going on?" Mrs. Weasley asked again, her tone a little frightening.

"It's nothing, Molly," Mr. Weasley muttered, "Fred and George just... but I've spoken to them..."

"What have they done this time?" said Mrs. Weasley. "If it has anything to do with Weasley joke products..."

Hearing this, Ivan was stunned and didn't know how Mrs. Weasley knew.

Ever since they had visited the Burrow two years ago, Fred and George had been working on making joke products.

However, this business was being conducted in secret.

To be precise, Mrs. Weasley was the only one who was being kept in the dark.

She would not support Fred and George in doing such a thing. In her opinion, it was a sign of carelessness.

Needless to say, what they both did was dangerous, which made them even more unstable.

Just thinking about it, Ivan understood why Mrs. Weasley seemed to be angry with him.

The fact was that the biggest contributor to the development of the Weasley joke products was definitely Ivan.

He gave Fred and George a lot of ideas, as well as the initial research and development costs and sales channel support.

Needless to say, he was also preparing to introduce alchemy.

If Mrs. Weasley knew everything, it would be no accident that she was angry with Ivan.

It was very merciful of her not to kick Ivan out of her house after tempting her children to do these unscrupulous things.

Perhaps, this was only because it was Ivan. Things could have been very bad if it had been someone else.

The mood was getting more and more tense, and seeing Mrs. Weasley's increasingly grim expression, everyone could feel the pangs coming....

Only Hermione sided with Mrs. Weasley. She nodded her head and seemed to think it must be so.
