The good news is that Fred and George did not receive the golden invitation they had been longing for.
But they received a talking gadget.
It looked like a Bowtruckle in a frock-coat and bowler hat, which had somehow found its way into the Burrow and stood before them, doffing its hat in a dainty salute.
It was amazing that they would ever see Bowtruckle being so polite.
Like a magic trick, a line of words jumped out of the round hat, flashing yellow light and stopped in mid-air.
"Oh, Kyle, you can't do this..."
Before daybreak, Sirius rushed to St. Catchpole Village and knocked on Kyle's door.
"Here comes another one, to see the good things you have done..."
The door was opened from the inside. Chris covered his forehead and said helplessly, "Come in, but you have to turn yourself into a chair."
Sirius was stunned at first, then he noticed that Kyle's house was already full of people.
The group of conspicuous red-haired people on the sofa in the middle are the Weasley family. Almost all of them are here, even Bill and Fleur who are far away at Shell Cottage, and Charlie who has been in the Dragon Sanctuary.
Next to them were Kingsley, Lupin, Tonks, and other acquaintances from the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic.
There were also some people he knew but was not familiar with, and some he didn't know at all.
Kyle's living room is not very big, and now it is packed with people.
Just as he walked in subconsciously, an owl holding a red envelope just flew in from outside.
Wait, the red letter...
Before Sirius could feel relieved, a box was thrown over, and a long tail stretched out from it, rolling up the owl and the letter.
After a moment, the closed box jumped a few times on the floor and then stopped moving.
"Sure enough, it's here, your mother's howling letter." Chris picked up the box and returned it to Newt, rubbing his forehead and looking at Kyle further inside the room.
"Fortunately, if the Department of Mysteries happened to have a mission today, I'm afraid it wouldn't just be the Howlers that would come."
"It's all the same." Kyle said calmly.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Sirius's original anger suddenly weakened a lot, but he still couldn't help asking: "Didn't we agree that I will be responsible for the invitations?"
"I can't help it." Kyle spread his hands. "No one expected that Nico would show up just after we made the decision. He insisted on helping, and we couldn't refuse him."
"Nico?" Sirius frowned. "Nearly Headless Nick?"
"It can't be a ghost," Kyle said. "Is it Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist?"
"So that little thing I saw earlier..."
"It should be Nico's work."
Sirius was silent now.
He wanted to give Kyle face, but he wasn't so arrogant as to think he had more face than Nicolas Flamel.
"Then...I'll save it for when Harry gets married."
He muttered something under his breath, which made Harry, who had just walked out the door, turn pale.
If what Sirius meant by "keeping" was the gold that was going to be used to make the invitations, he might have to consider whether to follow Kyle's example.
As expected, more and more people came.
Although no one expected that Kyle and Connor would hold their wedding in such a hurry, they quickly accepted it as soon as they thought that the person was Kyle.
"I'm going to borrow the wedding tent now!" Mrs. Weasley stood up and was about to go out, but was immediately stopped by someone.
"No need to go through so much trouble." Tina said with a smile.
"But we need a big place." Mrs. Weasley insisted: "This is Kyle and Connor's wedding. There will be a lot of people coming. St. Catchpole Village will never be able to accommodate so many wizards."
"No, you misunderstood. What I meant was that we have a better choice."
After saying that, Tina turned to look at Newt.
As if he was not used to being in a place with so many people, Newt had been hiding in a corner, trying hard to disguise himself as a ghost.
The only thing he did during this period was to lock up the howling letter sent by Diana in a box.
But facing Tina's eyes, he had to stand up from the corner.
“Leave it to me…”
Newt went out with a suitcase.
When he came in again, a magnificent gate suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the road between the Burrow and here.
Everyone was stunned, "Hogwarts..." Harry shouted subconsciously.
So similar... Those two oak doors are exactly the same as the ones at Hogwarts.
"I chose the one I'm most familiar with... and probably the one most familiar to most of the guests," Newt said.
And when everyone walked in, there was an immediate second exclamation.
They felt like they had come to a vast plain, and what was even more amazing was that when they looked ahead, they saw a stretch of snow-capped mountains, and when they turned around, they saw lush forests.
The endless lake was divided into two colors. It was a sunny day above their heads, but there was a moon hanging in the sky opposite them.
Several moon-crazy beasts were drinking water by the lake, raising their heads from time to time, looking at them curiously with their bright big eyes.
"here it is……"
"I know, this is your box!" Fred said first.
Although the surroundings had changed slightly, he recognized them at a glance. They were in Kyle's box.
and……
He raised his head and looked at the nearly fifty-foot-long fire dragon flying in the sky.
The wedding tent probably doesn't provide additional dragon service...
Mrs. Weasley was a little scared at first, especially when she saw the dragon, and the black beast in a nearby tree, but she was relieved when she thought about the identity of someone who came with her.
With the legendary Master of Magical Beasts, Newt Scamander, this place is definitely safe.
"Well, let's get started, we have a heavy task ahead of us." She pulled out a pair of glasses and placed them on the tip of her nose, browsing through a large pile of work on a long piece of parchment.
This was the preparation work she, Diana, and Chris had listed a few days ago, including cleaning the room and painting the house, a total of about eighty tasks.
Although Kyle didn't know why they had to clean the room before getting married in a box, he had no right to object because it was a plan jointly made by Mrs. Weasley and Diana.
Soon, a group of people began to get busy.
And because of Newt, they also have the help of many magical animals.
Fire crabs trimming the grounds, and birds and snakes hanging balloons and streamers could be seen everywhere... Dobby the house-elf was there too, wearing a golden tuxedo with a new bow tie around his neck.
It’s a pity that Tata didn’t come at this time, otherwise they should be able to find common topics.
After all, apart from Dobby and Tata, there is no third house-elf in the wizarding world who dresses so formally.
…
Because there are so many people, the venue is changing little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From early morning to noon, the box had undergone a complete change, and the biggest change was probably in Norbert.
The once most ferocious Norwegian Spinosaurus is now covered with balloons, various flowers and ribbons, and is reluctantly parked right above the venue to serve as a mascot.
Oh, and there is also a row of firework launchers tied to the Nangdu leopard. As long as it runs, special fireworks will appear in every corner. It is very convenient.
In the whole box, only the cat-leopard had a quick reaction. With its natural advantage of Legilimency, it ran away as soon as they decided to persecute Norbert.
Go into the forest, far away from here.
…
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the venue was finally completed.
"Mom, aren't these few chairs a bit too few?" Bill frowned slightly as he looked at the hundredth chair that had just been placed beside him.
There were more than a hundred people who came to his wedding.
Besides, Kyle is a champion of the Triwizard Tournament and the youngest recipient of the Second Class Medal of the Order of Merlin. There will definitely be a lot of people coming.
Maybe there are foreign wizards too.
One hundred seats is too few.
"That's Kyle's request."
Mrs. Weasley also felt that it was a bit too little, but there was nothing she could do; Kyle insisted on only putting out a hundred chairs.
"Maybe it's because of... Nicolas Flamel." Minerva McGonagall couldn't help but say, "I heard that he will also attend the wedding. You know, he is not suitable to be seen by too many people."
"Nicholas Flamel..." Mrs. Weasley opened her mouth and quickly covered it with her hand.
"Are you sure, Minerva, that a legendary wizard like Mr. Flamel will be here?"
Although I knew that the special invitation letter was written by the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, it was different from knowing that he would attend in person.
"If I remember correctly, Monsieur Flamel has not appeared in public for two centuries."
"That's about right," Mag said.
She was not an alchemist, and she didn't pay much attention to Nicolas Flamel, but he had indeed not appeared in public for a long time, although some people would occasionally run into him when attending the opera.
Mrs. Weasley was also a little excited.
Although she was not a fan of Nicolas Flamel, she was curious about this legendary wizard who lived for more than 600 years.
It felt like someone who only appeared in "History of Magic" and legends suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Then we must prepare well..." She grabbed the two people running past and shouted, "Fred, George, you two should put on your dress robes quickly and don't embarrass yourself in front of the guests!"
"A dress robe? I don't want that stuff because it's hot and tight!"
"Besides, Kyle said he doesn't want to do anything fancy, we can wear whatever we want!"
The two ran away laughing.
Mrs. Weasley was about to chase after him, but by then, more invited guests had arrived.
First came Cedric and Cho, and Hermione also came.
Further back are a few older wizards.
"Du Ge..."
"Oh, Armando!"
The two old wizards recognized each other and greeted each other happily.
Doug McPhail was someone Kyle met at Nico's old house. They became pen pals and wrote many letters to each other.
The other is an old acquaintance, Armando Dippet, one of the headmasters of Hogwarts and the only former headmaster of Hogwarts still alive.
Although most people thought he was dead, he was still alive and is now over 360 years old.
Before the two of them had even chatted for a few words, they were stunned by the luxurious configuration of the venue.
"Hey, Dug, did Newt have a dragon when he got married?" Armando asked in a low voice.
"Probably not." Du Ge said.
His eyes were also drawn to Norbert in the sky.
I heard that Kyle has a certificate for legally raising dragons, so he is probably the only one who can do this.
Even if someone else had this ability, they would be arrested by the Aurors immediately.
"He said come back, where is Kyle's kid?" Armando looked around.
He knew something about the portrait in the principal's office, but he had never seen Kyle in person.
So after hearing from the portrait that Kyle was going to get married, he decisively returned to England and wanted to meet Kyle.
But after finally getting in, the owner Kyle disappeared and no matter who I asked, they said they had never seen him.
Is Kyle really gone?

Of course not.
At this time, he was on the other side of the box, looking at the person in front of him with helplessness.
"It's just a simple wedding. There's really no need for you to come all the way from Nurmengard."
"Why, you don't welcome me." Grindelwald raised his eyes.
"I helped you so much, and not only did you not even say a word of thanks, you even want to chase me away?"
"Is that what Dumbledore taught you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't taught students for a long time." Another familiar voice.
Kyle looked at Dumbledore who was floating towards him like a ghost and curled the corners of his mouth.
He has become numb.
To be honest, besides the factor of Sirius, he made this decision because he wanted to avoid these messy acquaintances.
Unfortunately, Grindelwald seemed determined to join in the fun and didn't care at all whether he would be recognized or not.
But Kyle couldn't help but care.
In addition to the Order of the Phoenix and former classmates, there were also many old wizards.
If nothing else, Newt would definitely recognize Grindelwald.
By then, his wedding would be a lively one...but it wouldn't be the kind of lively one he wanted.
And Dumbledore?
No one knew whether he was dead or alive. Although he looked like a ghost, he was in color.
And like Grindelwald, he would be in trouble if he was seen by others.
"You have a very sad look in your eyes," said Dumbledore, with a falsely sad tone. "I thought you would be glad to see me."
"I would have been happy if you hadn't come with him." Kyle turned his gaze to Grindelwald. "So did you two make an appointment?"
"Of course not."
Grindelwald said nothing, but Dumbledore denied it flatly: "I came here with Ariana. I have been with her recently."
"Oh, by the way, thank Ariana. Your mother was very angry about your sudden announcement of marriage, and Ariana spoke well of you."
Kyle laughed dryly twice.
On the other side, Grindelwald was already a little angry. He frowned and looked at Dumbledore. Or rather, his eyes had never moved away since Dumbledore appeared.
"Why can't you come with me? Does my name annoy you so much?"
"Not really, except that I have better options," said Dumbledore.
"I thought that if your sister were still alive, we would be able to reconcile." Grindelwald couldn't help but raise his voice, "Just like that summer in Godric's Hollow, we talked about everything.
"But I have looked for you many times. Why did you always refuse to see me?"
Dumbledore turned his head with a stiff expression, "Arianna was rescued by Kyle. It has nothing to do with you."
"But at least I can be sure that I didn't kill her, isn't that enough?"
"There is no way to argue about right or wrong in this matter."
"Why……"
The two of them talked more and more heatedly. Kyle tried to interrupt them several times but failed. He could only step aside silently.
Okay, if you can't afford to offend him, you can at least avoid him.
Maybe Grindelwald didn't come to this wedding for him in the first place... even though it was his wedding! ...
"Oh, Kyle, where have you been?"
As soon as Kyle returned to the venue, he saw Ron, Harry, and Hermione running towards him in a hurry, holding something in their hands.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone just brought this over, saying it's a gift for you." Ron handed the thing over. "A middle-aged wizard left quickly without saying anything."
"But don't worry, I've just checked it, and there's no dark magic on it." Hermione said beside him: "Do you have any candidates?"
"I don't know either." Kyle took what Ron handed him with confusion.
That's a book.
The Bard in the Wind
Kyle was no stranger to this. When he first entered school, Dumbledore recommended this book to him. It contained many practical magic tips.
only……
The book looked exactly as he remembered it.
But who would give him a book?
Kyle flipped it open.
"What is this?" Hermione suddenly discovered that there was something drawn inside and couldn't help but take a closer look.
"It's a broomstick," said Harry suddenly.
Kyle also noticed that after opening the cover, the first thing he could see was someone had drawn a flying broom on it.
"But what does this mean?" Ron scratched his hair.
"I think I should have guessed who sent this book," Kyle said.
"This picture is meant to remind you to always carry a broom with you. Sometimes it's more useful than a magic wand."
"Ah, what did you say?" Ron still didn't understand, and even Hermione was a little confused.
"Nothing, it's just a little trick I learned in Defense Against the Dark Arts class in my first year."
Kyle closed the book without explaining much.
Oren, at least when he came to Hogwarts as a professor, was a bard.
Kyle had almost forgotten about him.
In fact, he had disappeared since Voldemort's death.
Kyle had been speculating about his purpose in joining the Death Eaters and had also asked Dumbledore.
But Dumbledore didn't know either, because Oren was not his and he had never had any contact with him.
He just said that Oren had been asking about werewolves, and that before the final battle, Hogwarts had received a map with the number of Death Eaters marked on it.
In the words of Dumbledore, "A bard is like the wind. You can't catch the wind, and you can't guess what a bard is thinking."
Kyle put the book away, ready to ask Oren what he meant after catching him.
He didn't care about the wind or the bard, he would never let Oren go.
But considering that he had never made things difficult for Kanna before, I'll let it go this time...
"Sorry." Kyle turned to look at the three people as if nothing had happened, "The ceremony is about to begin, and I have other things to do..."
"Oh, of course." Hermione said quickly, "Go ahead, I just saw Connor waiting for you at the entrance."
"Yeah." Kyle walked down the passage and left the box.
A moment later, the music played by the Weird Sisters suddenly changed, the golden balloons in the sky exploded, and countless fireworks exploded at the same time.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the entrance.
But they waited for a long time and saw nothing. No one came in from outside, not a single person. They only heard a frustrated roar.
It seems to be Snape's, and I don't know who made him angry.
It was not until Mag rushed in that they realized that the protagonists of this wedding, the bride and groom, had abandoned everyone and ran away! "How cool!" Fred stood up subconsciously and laughed loudly, "This is the best wedding ceremony I have ever seen!"
"That's right." George agreed, "When I get married, I want to... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by the ear by Mrs. Weasley.
The scene suddenly became lively.
Only in a corner away from the crowd, Nicolas Flamel and his wife Perenelle sat together, snuggling together, with a winged mirror in front of them.
The mirror seemed to be the Hogwarts Express, and in one of the compartments, Kyle and Connor were hugging each other tightly.
“It’s great to fulfill our lifelong promise at the place where we first met.” Perenel wiped his eyes.
But at this moment, the image in the mirror suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, Kyle in the Hogwarts Express took off an ornament from Connor's dress and threw it out of the window.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Kyle shook his head.
Kanna was about to ask something else when her lips were kissed. She could only close her eyes and hug Kyle's neck.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Let's go on a trip." Kyle suddenly said, "Honeymoon trip."
Kanna suddenly laughed, "Are you traveling, or do you want to hide from the limelight? I guess a lot of people are looking for you now."
"That's part of the reason." Kyle also smiled, "Then do you agree?"
"Of course, I'd love to." Kanna smiled.
I don't know what Kyle did, but the Hogwarts Express, which was originally parked, suddenly moved and carried the two of them away from Platform 9.
It was just like the first time they took the train to Hogwarts.
