Chapter 20. Girls

The Bush family had three children who returned from Hogwarts at their dinner today.

They had summer vocations.

Dick was the most excited one on the table, he couldn't wait to tell his parents what happened at school.

"…Then the headmaster introduced the wanted man, Sirius Black! — I forget how many people he killed with a magic spell? Hans, do you remember?" He asked his brother in a pretentious way.

Hans replied in a good temper — he did think his little brother had forgotten — "men of a street."

"Men of a street!" Dick was all over the table, "and he was sitting right in the middle of us!"

"Oh, god!" from Jack.

"Unbelievable!" from Lucy.

Their parents were very supportive.

The youngest sister Hannah also kept up with the whole family to open her mouth and look at her little brother in a shock.

Dick comforted everyone, "calm down, relax."

He began to describe the wanted man vividly — oh, he's not wanted anymore.

He was a man who had been framed, the Ministry of Magic had admitted that they made a small mistake and had kept an innocent man in prison for more than ten years.

But this was the responsibility of Mr. Crouch, who had been to the Ministry of Sport as the minister, the current Minister of Magic was innocent.

As a result, Minister Crouch had to come out and admit his mistake in the Daily Prophet, and was willing to resign to take charge of it.

"I've always had a problem with my legs and wanted to move to warm France," he said in the newspaper, "thank you for your concern, but I won't come back to England in the future."

Later, a columnist in the Daily Prophet wrote it was an irresponsible escape.

"Mr. Crouch has left everything to his colleagues, the other gentlemen of the Ministry of Magic who have made no mistake."

But in any case, Mr. Crouch still quickly finished his resign paperwork and went to France. In an interview, his neighbour said that Mr. Crouch's wife, who had passed away, was a nice woman.

"She always wanted to go to the south of France on her honeymoon. Now…" This sentimental neighbour wiped her tears and told that she thought Mr. Crouch had chosen France must because he missed Mrs. Crouch.

That report redeemed a little reputation of Mr. Crouch.

"I've heard that story, too." Mum, Lucy said, "I would say that Black looks pretty handsome." She asked her husband Jack, "you remember him, don't you? I remember the Bush family had a marriage with the Black family."

Jack replied softly, "eighty years ago, honey. And …" He said to the children on the table, "I remember that little Bush girl eloped with another Hufflepuff."

Elopement!

What an exciting word!

Everyone exclaimed.

Della also became interested in this topic. She asked, "what's her name? I mean, what should I call her…"

Jack: "Forget it. I didn't even figure out what I should call her. Her name is Claudia."

There was also a portrait of this brave Claudia in the family.

Under the strong request of children, especially Della, Jack dug the portrait out of the warehouse, opened the wooden box, the gentle and beautiful girl on the painting winked at them.

She's a beauty.

That explained why Black, an always Slytherin, would like to marry an ancestral Hufflepuff.

Mother, Lucy hugged Della and shook her head at the beautiful girl in the painting that had been hung up again, sighed, "beauty and stupidity are advantages to men."

The girl blinked and said to them, "obviously, I'm not as stupid as they think," she wrinkled her nose and added, "but maybe it's stupid for them that I eloped with Alan. After all, he's just a son of a shoemaker."

This made Della start thinking about what would happen if she eloped with Fred. The thought kept her going!

She couldn't help writing to Hermione with this.

Hermione wrote back soon, and she joined the conversation enthusiastically.

"First of all, I don't think you and Fred will elope. Neither the Bush family nor the Weasleys will oppose you.

But if skip this premise, you should have a good life after elopement. I mean, Fred is a pragmatic person, he would find a job immediately. He has a plan for the future and loves his family, as well as he has a sense of responsibility. Della, you're gentle and kind, so you will have a good time."

She also imagined if she eloped, it would be easier. After all, she's a Muggle. If she did so, the life must be switched from the wizard world to the Muggle's. That's no problem for her.

"I know where to rent a house, where to buy cheap food, and how to work.

And it's no difficult for him, too. Maybe it would be better for him to get out of that environment."

Della always felt that the "he" in her letter was someone.

But Hermione hadn't told her yet.

So she could only pretend to be unknown.

Compared with her and Fred, Hermione and the "he" were shy and careful people.

Therefore, their love fruit also need to be carefully taken care of.

She hadn't seen Fred for nearly twenty days.

It should be very easy for them to meet, because Fred had learned the Disapparation this year, but he refused to take her to do it, he said he's not proficient.

"What if you lose an ear?"

"Although I love you even if it came true, I heard from those people of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad that it hurt."

Besides, according to him, he had a big plan.

"We'll see each other soon! I promise it's a big surprise!"

"Then we can be together for a whole week!"

"There are parents, though, it doesn't matter."

He only asked his owl to send her the Ton-Tongue Toffee that he had finally made successfully, with a stable formula.

"Better than what you fed me last time, honey."

Della put the sweet in her bedroom, but Dick took one, and had his tongue growing on the floor.

Della quickly shoved the wrapper into his mouth, then his tongue retracted.

But Dick blackmailed her after that: "if you don't give me half of them, I'll tell mom you bully me."

In the horror sight of Della, he explained in a low voice: "Well, you can get it anytime, right? Fred will give you."

And he added, "…well, I want to give it to Sam, he bullies me all the time in the bedroom."

Della snorted coldly, "can someone bully you?" But she still grabbed Dick a lot. "In order to avoid big troubles, if you don't want to be deducted, you should keep the wrapper when feeding others, that's the antidote."

Dick was very smart, he rolled his eyes and asked, "what if the wrapper is lost?" Della smiled, "then you'll get fifty points off."

Dick shuddered and dismissed the evil idea.

Watching Dick's happy steps, she felt she had attracted a long-term client for Fred.

———————————————

Fred's big plan finally came out.

Mrs. Weasley, Fred's mother, Molly, invited four children from the Bush family to the Quidditch World Cup this year through the fireplace.

"Arthur has an acquaintance in the Sports Department. He got enough tickets," Molly said, "it's said it's going to be a very exciting match this year. I don't understand, but the boys are going crazy."

Lucy: "Oh Molly, I can't leave you four children, they will drive you crazy!"

Molly smiled and shook her head, "no problem. I raised up six boys, I know how to take care of them. Besides, Hans and Della are very sensible, Dick can play with Ron, and Hannah, a cute angle, let her watch the world cup, too. Who knows if it will be held in England next time?"

That's true.

Lucy decided to accept Molly's kindness. She told the news to her four children.

Dick went straight mad.

Della saw him jumping like a gorilla on the sofa, "I remember you don't like Quidditch." She said.

Dick: "But I like the World Cup! I bet there won't be more than ten people going to the World Cup in our grade!" He screamed, "I'll make them deadly envy!"

Vanity!

Della rolled her eyes and went back to the bedroom.

Lucy came up to her and saw her packing. "Oh, honey — are you going to take all your robes?"

The door of wardrobe was wide opened and the bed was full of clothes.

It looked like she's trying to tuck the whole wardrobe in.

Della was worried. When she saw Lucy, she jumped up and rushed to her side, took her arm and asked sweetly, "Mom, can I buy another pair of jeans, and two more vests?" She added, "I have no clothes."

Lucy looked at the robes all over the bed, nodded, "ok, honey, I understand."

Girls.
