Chapter 30: Don't wizards kill creatures for materials? How am i considered cruel?

"Oh! Albert! I really didn't expect you to be here. "

An enthusiastic voice came from a table that was blocked by a partition in the bar.

Albert Foley was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the somewhat bald red-haired middle-aged man walking towards his table, he smiled:

"Arthur, we meet again."

Arthur Weasley and Mr. Foley hugged warmly.

"Yes, it's not easy to see you even once considering how busy you are usually.

Are you also here to buy things at diagon alley? "

"Huh? That's right.

Millie wanted to buy some things for Christmas. Are you here for shopping too? "

"Oh, yes. It's Christmas again. The children also have to buy new clothes.

It's a pity that the salary is always not enough to spend. "

Mr. Foley hesitated:

"Do you want to..."

Arthur S. Weasley waved his hand:

"No, I'm not at the point where I can't take care of my family.

I'll tell you if it gets to that point. Now my salary is still enough to cope. And Bill also has started to work. He will come to support his younger siblings in the future. "

But when he was saying this, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes.

There are too many children in his house.

Three more are now attending school.

And next year his youngest son, Ronald, will also go to school.

This again requires an overhead on the budget.

Although mostly the boys were able to reuse their brother's old things.

But you can't always be using the second hand stuff.

The year after next, his youngest daughter, Ginny, will also have to go to school.

Although Bill and Charlie have already started working.

But they also cannot contribute a lot to the family.

Falling in love also costs a lot of money.

Before getting married, you have to find a piece of land to build a house.

...

Mr. Foley saw Arthur S. Weasley's sorrow and decided to divert the topic:

"It's rare that we have free time.

Why don't the two of us go for a few drinks? my treat. "

"Okay, but let's speak quietly.

Molly would never let me drink. "

Arthur Weasley turned to look at his wife, who was chatting happily with her own sister, Millie Foley.

He then whispered something to Albert keeping it out of range from Braun's ears.

Mr. Foley shrugged:

"Of course, but you're too afraid of your wife."

Mr. Weasley blushed.

He tried to salvage his image in his nephew's eyes and said like a sophisticated gentleman:

"Its not that i am scared of her, its just because I love her."

Then he said something like loving his wife and not being afraid of his wife.

Mr. Foley couldn't help but laugh.

Turning his head, he saw Ronald standing behind Mr. Weasley.

He couldn't help but say:

"Don't know me? Ronald? We meet every year.

The last time we met was about a month ago? "

"No, no Uncle Foley. I mean of course I know you. "

Ronald stammered.

But watching Ronald look at Braun's pumpkin juice in his hand with embarrassed eyes, Mr. Foley understood it.

"Look at your mouth dry.

Tom served our lads two more glasses of pumpkin juice. "

"Okay, wait a minute!"

It wasn't long before Tom brought him a few glasses of wine and three glasses of pumpkin juice.

"Cheers, Ron!

How have you been during this time? "

Braun said to Ron while sipping his pumpkin juice.

Ronald wasn't polite either.

Although he was more afraid of his uncle Foley, But he still won't refuse the drink he ordered for him.

"It tastes really good.

Not bad. I play Quidditch with George and Fred every day.

Or go to the vegetable garden and catch the gnomes and hedgehogs.

Braun you don't have gnomes in your house, so you probably don't know.

Except gnomes are very interesting.

All you have to do is grab the gnomes' legs and stun them and throw them out, and the other gnomes will run over to see them when you're not there.

I feel that they are a little silly. "

Ronald took a long sip with satisfaction.

Although Braun gave his sister a few books, he wasn't jealous of her.

Mainly because he didn't like that stuff.

And also because he is still very fond of his sister.

But Braun doesn't like the sweet, greasy and spice taste of the pumpkin juice.

"This cup is also for you! I'm not too thirsty. "

Braun placed another glass of pumpkin juice in front of Ronald as well.

"I remember that the gnomes' natural predator was not an earthen-steak marten? Will it be good to use them against gnomes? "

"Oh, that's cruel Braun. They'll eat the gnomes. "

Braun:???

But aren't the gnomes pests in the garden?

You're a wizard! Wizards kill Dragons and a lot of other creatures just for materials, and you tell me that i am cruel?

He watched dumbfounded while Ron finished drinking the pumpkin juice.

Looking at the adults who are still chatting, Braun felt a little bored.

There was really nothing interesting about this bar, The greasy ground floor also has wizards who talk and laugh from time to time.

Instead of staying here, he wanted to go outside.

"Dad, Ron and I want to go out for a walk."

Mr. Foley, who was talking to Mr. Weasley about something in a serious tone. After hearing Braun's words, he waved his hand carelessly:

"Okay. But remember to come back early.

We'll have something else to do later. "

"Let's go, Ronald! We can go around Diagon Alley. "

Ron didn't want to stay here either, especially staying under the noses of his parents.

Also this bar always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Braun and Ron took a stroll along the cobblestone path.

Due to Christmas, the sidewalk was also beautifully decorated by the shops.

There are colorful lights and all kinds of beautiful ribbons decorating the entirety of the alley.

Some bookstores also hang posters with discounts on the outside to entice customers.

The font on the posters still twist and turn from time to time, almost as if holding a position for a long time makes them feel uncomfortable.

"Ron, wait. How about we go over there and have a look? There seems to be a Quidditch boutique over there? "

Braun saw a large group of wizards and kids their age gathered around the shop in the distance.

He couldn't help but be dazzled and Interrupted Ronald's chatter, which he had gained the ability to tune out.
