"...I declare you a lifelong partner."
With the announcement of a small wizard with thick hair, Bill and Fleur hugged each other tightly, and a large field of silver stars surrounded them, making them more radiant and charming. Charlie, Ginny and Gabrielle, who were closest to them, clapped excitedly and smiled brightly. Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Delacour sobbed with joy from the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Please stand up!"
The guests stood up. The canvas of the white tent was rolled up, and the golden sunlight shone through the orchard, and it seemed that even the air had become fruity. Under the effect of magic, the tables and chairs were gathered in the corner, and a pool of molten gold slowly spread under the feet of the couple, forming a golden dance floor. The band sang and danced, and the waiters rushed in with trays full of food, flexibly moving between the empty space and the colorful confetti and bells floating in the air.
Felix took a glass of champagne from his head and walked to a table.
"Mr. Elphias Doge, can I sit down?"
"Felix Hep?" The old man in the Turkish hat raised his head in surprise, with a few strands of soft and sparse hair exposed. "Sit down, kid! I've been looking for a chance to talk to you, but the last time was not the right time..."
Felix knew he was referring to Dumbledore's funeral. The two had a chance to talk, but then something big happened that exposed the wizarding world. Felix knew him a long time ago. Doge was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, but now he is retired.
He and Dumbledore have a close personal relationship. The two entered school in the same year and immediately became good friends. This friendship lasted for a century.
"Mr. Doge"
"Call me Elphias, if you don't mind." Doge said hurriedly.
Felix paused, "Ephias, I read the obituary you wrote for Dumbledore, it's very touching"
"Yes, I think I have the obligation to do so, I've known him the longest."
"You refuted Grindelwald's claims in your article."
"That's it!" Doggie said immediately, his soft and even transparent hair floating in the air because of excitement, "Don't believe him, from the first day I met Dumbledore, he had sympathy for Muggles, his noble character"
"As far as I know, those claims are largely true." Felix said calmly.
Doggie quieted down, as if he was under a spell, his expression became painful.
"Alas, I also had doubts. During that period of our lives, we had the least contact. I went traveling at that time, and he changed a lot when I came back." After a long time, Doggie said in a depressed tone, as if he had suffered a great blow. He was undoubtedly an admirer of Dumbledore, admiring his ideas, admiring his personality, and admiring his ability to turn the tide.
"Maybe he did support Grindelwald, but I think he was just temporarily confused. I can guarantee that, as I said in the article, that painful experience gave birth to his true thoughts, a broad, kind and compassionate heart."
"You don't need to convince me." Felix said seriously: "Just like your obituary is limited in length and can only pick one or two things to talk about, the same is true for Grindelwald. Moreover, he only really had contact with Dumbledore for a short two months, which is obviously subjective and extreme. I think you also agree that his words are somewhat misleading. Some people have concluded that Dumbledore was obsessed with the dark arts."
"Who?" Doggie's face flushed with anger, as if he had been insulted.
"It doesn't matter." Felix gently changed the subject. "The important thing is that there are already such signs. Dumbledore studied the dark arts, Dumbledore hated Muggles, Dumbledore sought fame and reputation, and even affected his family, saying that his mother imprisoned his daughter in order not to bring shame to the family..."
Doggie's face became redder and redder, and he was furious.
"...Someone must come forward to clarify." Felix finished his words.
"Yes, someone must come forward!" Doge repeated loudly, looking at Felix eagerly, "My dear child, I think with your reputation..."
"I can't." Felix shook his head, and before Doge could show his disappointment, he turned his head to the side, "There is someone who can, he knows Dumbledore better than anyone else in the world, and he is definitely the heir of his outstanding ideas."
Doge followed this gaze through the crowd and saw a black-haired young man chewing a sandwich.
"You mean him... Harry Potter?" The old man stared at Harry and muttered softly, but it was more like talking to himself: "It's possible... I saw it in the newspaper... It said that the child could fight a dragon alone... At his age, he must have someone teaching him."
Felix did not refute this point of view. Part of magic comes from the mind. From this perspective, Dumbledore's support for Harry is unprecedented. He struck while the iron was hot and said:
"So, it's settled? You two will work together to complete a biography of Dumbledore? I know I may not be able to ask you, and I don't know if you can spare the time, but I can feel the sincerity in your heart just through the strokes of your pen. If you are willing..."
"Of course I am willing!" Doge said impatiently: "It's my honor!" He then became hesitant, "Have you talked to the kid, and does he agree?"
"I was just about to talk to him."
Felix stood up, and then Doge called him. "Mr. Happ, Felix, can I ask why you do this? I know you have been busy with major events that affect the fate of the entire wizarding world recently. What makes you spend your time alone?"
"Dumbledore took good care of me. And objectively speaking, Dumbledore has indeed become a symbol representing wizards. He may have made mistakes, but mistakes should not be described as evil. Of course, the impact of the rumors has not yet appeared, and it can be delayed. I am because of another person."
"Harry Potter?" Doge guessed. This was the second time he read out the name tonight.
"That's right." Felix nodded and said, "He doesn't know what a huge fortune he has obtained yet. I must remind him. In case he forgets." He stepped onto the dance floor and walked through the cheerful crowd.
On the other side, Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione squeezed at a table, watching Luna and her father dancing while eating food. It can be seen that they are very hungry.
"Eat quickly, and then we will go dancing!" Ginny said, her thoughts written on her face. She looked at the noisy crowd, her eyes suddenly fixed, and whispered, "Oh, look."
Several people turned their eyes away from the food and looked at Professor Hep who was walking towards them. Hermione was choked by the champagne. She put down the food, wiped her mouth quickly, and sat up more straight.
"Miss Granger." Felix nodded to her, sat in the empty chair next to her, and told Harry the purpose of his visit.
"Let me write a biography of Dumbledore?" Harry said dully, thinking of his unfinished book. The others also widened their eyes.
"It's you and Elphias Doge." Felix raised his chin towards the opposite side.
Harry followed the direction pointed by the professor and saw an old man wearing a small round hat stretching his neck and staring straight at this side.
"...You provide information, say it specifically, say how much, and know it in your mind. It will probably take a year or so, and it may not be able to catch up with the first batch of book lists for communication. The Ministry of Magic believes that the selected list can best present the magic of magic, but this matter itself is quite meaningful." "
But, Professor," Harry thought of something else, "I heard that the negotiations are not going well?"
"Oh, Harry, you need to see the essence of the problem through the phenomenon." Felix smiled and said, he looked at Hermione. Hermione raised her eyebrows, "Professor, do you mean that the recent slow progress is just a negotiation technique? Or is it stuck on a key issue?" "
Almost. Another reason is that some government officials are influenced by external factors. I will solve this problem soon." Felix said tactfully, "Let's not discuss such serious topics at the wedding, I think." He suddenly stopped talking, stood up quickly, and looked outside.
"What happened, professor?" Harry asked. Ron, Ginny and Hermione looked around in confusion, but did not find anything unusual.
"There are unexpected visitors, it's not a big problem, I'll go and see." Felix said, he stood up and walked towards the orchard outside the tent. Hermione thought about it and followed him.
The fruit trees were gleaming in the bright sunset, and the tent was surrounded by pleasant pastoral scenery. Hermione walked through the crowd and looked around the edge of the tent for a while. She found that Felix came back with a strange girl. The two talked about something while walking.
"... Will you treat it as a dream, a deal?"
The girl nodded, raised her head and looked at everything in the tent timidly and yearningly. Felix pointed at her, and her clothes immediately turned into a beautiful dress.
"Go ahead." Felix encouraged, and the girl walked into the tent excitedly with her dress in hand, looking around on the golden dance floor. A bottle of champagne and an empty glass squeezed in front of her, making a tinkling sound. She poured herself a small glass with interest, then looked in the crowd, and then her eyes lit up and strode in one direction.
"Professor, she is... a Muggle?" Hermione said in surprise.
"She lives in a nearby village, and her parents run a flower shop." Felix said, "Just a few days ago, Fred and George exchanged a bag of snacks for flowers for today's wedding. This smart girl took it seriously and looked out at the entrance of the village every day. However, the Weasley family was protected by a spell, and ordinary people could not find it at all. But she was very perseverant. She watched for several days and unexpectedly saw guests coming from the distant hills with a portkey."
"Oh." Hermione looked back at the girl who disappeared behind the phoenix cake. No one at the wedding noticed that a non-magic person had sneaked in. She turned around and quietly mustered up her courage. Just as she was about to speak, Felix cleared his throat, "Well, can I ask you to dance?"
Hermione looked at him in surprise.
"Since you said so." She nodded modestly, stretched out a hand, and the two walked towards the dance floor.
"By the way, I want to ask, what did you see during your time travel?"
"Why did you suddenly think of this question?"
"Purely out of curiosity."
"A cave full of stalactites"
"Well, don't say it." Felix hurriedly stopped him. That was where he secretly practiced the killing curse.
...
At night, the lights in the Sword Castle were still on.
"Are you ready?" Felix asked. Lupin nodded silently, closed his eyes, and prepared to face the judgment of fate. Tonks stood by, with her fingers tightly twisted together.
Felix opened his hands, and countless tiny runes flew in the air, and then turned back like a tired bird returning to its nest. Before the other two could react, they turned into a ball of silver moonlight, and there seemed to be a creepy roar echoing in the moonlight.
Felix put his hand on Lupin's shoulder.
A strange feeling surged through his body in an instant. He was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He had experienced it every full moon night since he was five years old. Lupin opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils dilated and seemed to be painted black. But this time was different from all the previous times. He had just used the unskilled "reverse werewolf transformation" magic on himself, although it failed several times.
Lupin's head began to deform, his body was stretched, and the dress that he had not changed in time could not bear the weight. He let out a low roar, showing his sharp teeth. Tonks covered her mouth and couldn't help but take a step closer. But then all the discordant parts of Lupin's body were retracted, and he returned to his human form. When he raised his head again, his eyes were still so sincere and reliable.
Tonks trotted over, took Lupin's hand with great interest and checked it repeatedly, enjoying it. Then she rolled up his sleeves and confirmed that the brown stiff hairs that had previously appeared on his arm had disappeared. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"We succeeded? The magic worked?" She asked, swallowing her saliva.
Felix said happily to Lupin and Tonks, "It succeeded without a doubt."
"How long can this magic last? Can it survive a full moon night?" Tonks' voice was a little abnormal.
"It should be fine if we don't force it," said Felix.
Tonks cheered with joy, and Lupin looked at her and smiled softly. "Let's see what Mom has to say now!" She muttered softly, turning her hair into a dazzling golden color.
Lupin was able to remain calm in his great joy. He said calmly, "I have only completed the first step. The next step is to master the werewolf transformation magic, that is, to turn into a werewolf when it is not a full moon. With the previous foundation, I think I can master this magic in a month or two."
"Why do you do this?" Tonks stopped and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to take the initiative to turn into a werewolf?"
Lupin looked at Felix. Felix explained: "Let me put it this way, the effect of wolfsbane varies from person to person. If an ordinary person is bitten by a werewolf, wolfsbane will kill that person; but if I am bitten by a werewolf, wolfsbane will not cause any harm to me at all, at most it will be some minor troubles..." "
...The same goes for Dumbledore. Our bodies and magic have undergone strange changes, and the connection between us has become closer. I call it the biologization of magic. An important sign is that no matter how the body changes, the magic can perfectly adapt to the current state. This is very different from the Animagus of wizards."
"The transformation of a werewolf is between the two. It is beyond the ability of ordinary wizards and is difficult to control; but it will not completely kill the wizard."
"If Remus masters both the transformation and reversal of werewolf, he can continue to familiarize himself with the process while awake, which will help him master the most subtle changes in his body, thus clearing the way for advanced human transformation, and the final effect is to fix this state for a long time."
"You can think of it as a human Animagus transformation specifically for werewolves."
"After three steps, the werewolf identity will no longer have any effect. The only drawback is that this method is very difficult. If you want to promote it on a large scale, you should expect those potion masters to create a potion that can completely cure wolf poison." Felix said calmly. Although ancient magic words have strong adaptability, they certainly cannot replace all magic.
"I asked Belby," Lupin shook his head and said, "It took him many years to develop the wolf poison potion, but the final result was just barely suppressing the wolf poison, allowing werewolves to remain rational when transforming. It is difficult to completely eradicate it... I plan to go through the whole process myself. If it goes well, I might as well pick some qualified werewolves."
He hesitated and looked at Felix, who shrugged at him.
"I don't care what you want to do outside of work. Anyway, the key to solving the problem is in your hands."
