Chapter 57: A Visit To The Weasleys

"Hello, who are you?" Perhaps noticing that Eisen hadn't left yet, Mrs. Weasley looked at him with a warm smile. To be honest, her friendly demeanor was quite comforting.

"Mom, this is Professor Eisen from school. He's going to visit us during the summer vacation!" Ron was surprised by his family's attitude toward Eisen, and upon hearing her mention him, he quickly made the introduction.

"Oh, you are very welcome! This will surely be a happy holiday!" Mrs. Weasley's smile widened as she learned about Eisen's identity.

"Thank you. I have something I would like to discuss with Mr. Weasley," Eisen replied, returning Mrs. Weasley's smile naturally.

"Let's go. Hey, Ginny, what are you staring at?" Mrs. Weasley said, noticing Ginny lost in thought, gazing into the distance with a silly expression.

"I didn't see anything. Let's go!" Ginny blushed, grabbing her mother's hand.

...

Ron's home is located near the south end of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, nestled among hills and trees. Surrounded by mountains, streams, woods, and meadows, the scenery is stunning.

Due to enchantments, Ron's home is unknown to Muggles.

However, as Eisen followed the Weasley family to their destination, he noticed that Ron's house was indeed different from ordinary homes.

Just as described in the original book, it appeared to have been built by magic, leaning at odd angles and reaching several stories high. A sign in front of the house read "The Burrow."

From the outside, it looked quite simple. Yet, once inside, one could see the prominent presence of family magic everywhere among wizarding households.

Whether it's a broom that cleans by itself or a kitchen that cooks automatically, these magical conveniences create a sense of wonder. When Eisen first observed the scene, his initial thought was "how convenient!"

Magic has undoubtedly infiltrated every aspect of a wizard's life, providing a level of convenience that far exceeds Muggle imagination.

But could Muggles ever achieve this? Could technology truly match such convenience? Eisen remained skeptical.

In his previous life, he knew that smart vacuums, intelligent kitchens, and other gadgets, while not ubiquitous in ordinary households, had already been developed.

If technology continues to advance for decades, there could come a time when ordinary people enjoy such liberation. So, Eisen marveled at the possibility that technology could achieve what domestic magic can accomplish.

Indeed, while magical abilities can do things far beyond Muggle understanding due to their idealism, if technology advances to a sci-fi level, it might offer conveniences that rival magic.

For Eisen, who is immortal, this point could be verified in the future.

However, regarding Ron's home, apart from household magic, the most eye-catching aspect is the presence of Muggle items—specifically, Muggle objects that have been dismantled and magically reassembled.

Clearly, this was the work of Arthur Weasley. As an employee in the Ministry of Magic's Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department, Mr. Weasley stands out in the wizarding world due to his fascination with Muggle objects.

He even converted his own car into a magical vehicle that can drive on the road and fly through the sky. To prevent Muggles from spotting it, it also has an invisibility feature.

Although the car appears quite worn, the combination of technology and magic lends it a unique charm.

"Professor Eisen, please make yourself comfortable. I'll go prepare something to eat," Mrs. Weasley said kindly after they entered the Burrow. She then turned to Ron, "Ron, don't behave like your two older brothers. Just be quiet at home, understand?"

Ignoring Ron's bewildered expression, Mrs. Weasley wrapped a printed apron around her waist and waved her wand at some fresh ingredients.

"Ron, are you going to write to invite Harry to your house?" Eisen asked, initiating casual conversation.

"Oh, yes! I need to write a letter to Harry," Ron replied, snapping back to reality and recalling what he needed to do.

"Wow, that's really cool!" Eisen encouraged.

"Yes, I think Harry will be very happy."

After Percy returned, he locked himself in his room early, seemingly absorbed in something. Meanwhile, Fred and George, who had been whispering together, approached Ron with amused expressions.

"I noticed you have a lot of Muggle items in your house," Eisen remarked, glancing around.

"Yes, Dad is obsessed with everything related to Muggles. Our house is filled with Muggle things." Upon hearing this, Fred suddenly laughed.

"Yeah, if he were caught in a search, he'd probably arrest himself!" George chimed in, unable to suppress a grin.

"Uh—he works in the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items, but he himself has been misusing Muggle objects," Ron explained as he gathered a quill and paper.

"Yeah, Mom goes crazy over it!" Fred added, and George shared a knowing look before bursting into laughter.

Eisen nodded thoughtfully. It made sense why the Weasley twins excelled in prank talents involving magical props; it was a clever twist.

"Hey, Errol, take this letter to Harry!" Ron exclaimed after finishing his note. He slipped the parchment to the owl, giving it a command.

The owl named Errol appeared quite old, but he dutifully took to the air to deliver the message.

After a short wait, Mrs. Weasley's breakfast was ready, and Arthur Weasley returned home.

Since Eisen's purpose for visiting the Weasley household was to discuss something, he immediately brought up his plan to open a magical film company in Diagon Alley.

"Wow, Professor Eisen! I must say, your idea is fantastic," Mr. Weasley exclaimed, his enthusiasm evident upon hearing Eisen's purpose for visiting.

"Exactly! Maybe we could screen some Muggle films for wizards to enjoy," Eisen replied, revealing more of his vision.

"Really? That could be very appealing!" Arthur beamed, as if envisioning the bustling atmosphere after the company's opening.

"Yes, you know, even though I'm a professor at Hogwarts, I'm a Muggle-born wizard. It wouldn't hurt for wizards to learn more about Muggles, right?" Eisen justified, clearly presenting a strong case.

"Of course, that sounds great!" Arthur agreed wholeheartedly, appreciating Eisen's perspective on Muggles.

Interestingly, although the Weasley family is a pure-blood wizarding family, they do not hold the same prejudices as other pure-blood families that disdain Muggles.

Eisen speculated that this could largely be attributed to Arthur's fascination with Muggle items. Because of this open-mindedness, the Weasley family is often looked down upon by other pure-blood wizard families.

I hope your like the chapter 😊.
