Chapter 420: Married at last
In the living room, everyone was still talking and laughing and teasing Black.
Mike, who initiated this topic, was observing Black's reaction without saying a word.
As a reader of the original novel, he really liked the character of Sirius Black and hoped that he could live a happy life, such as starting a family.
But judging from Black's reaction, Mike's wish should not be fulfilled.
Because at this moment, Black's whole body and mind were all on Harry, and it was estimated that Black would not consider starting a family before Harry graduated.
"Huh!"
With a long sigh, Mike felt that he should give up this idea for the time being.
At this moment, the door of the living room was pushed open again. Everyone looked over and saw Dumbledore, wearing a gorgeous wizard robe embroidered with gold thread, walking slowly towards the living room.
Behind him, followed the Weasleys and the brothers George and Fred, who were also dressed gorgeously. However, although their dresses were also very gorgeous, the style of the dresses was not English, but more like French, which looked a bit fancy.
Mike understood almost instantly that the Weasleys had been staying in France with George and Fred for a while, and their dresses should have been bought in France.
Compared with before they went, the Weasleys looked much better, and Mr. Weasley had gained weight. It seemed that George and Fred took good care of them.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy."
Dumbledore asked with a smile, as if he knew nothing about what Mike and others were doing in Hogwarts.
Perhaps to prevent the topic from being brought to him again, Black jumped out and said before Mike and others had a chance to speak:
"We are discussing when the bride will come out. She spent the whole morning dressing herself up."
It must be said that Black is also a good hand at changing the subject. As soon as he said this, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused, and they all discussed the gossip about the bride.
"Oh! You should be more considerate, Black. Otherwise, you may be like me and never get married." Dumbledore frowned and said humorously, "Although I am not married, I know that girls do spend a lot of time and energy in this regard. Although Tonks is a girl who is relatively careless, any girl is the same in the face of such a major event in life."
Dumbledore's words were immediately agreed by Mrs. Weasley and Hermione. The two of them praised Dumbledore while teasing Black, making the latter's expression, which had finally returned to normal, become awkward again.
Everyone in the living room laughed again.
Mike remained silent and observed Dumbledore's hands.
He had learned from the professors before that Dumbledore actually did not stay in Hogwarts at all, which was why the professors were so busy that they could not even take care of the school order.
Although the professors did not say the reason why Dumbledore left school, Mike actually knew very well that he must have gone to look for the Horcrux!
Among the remaining two Horcruxes, Slytherin's pendant box is not so easy to get, so Dumbledore's only target is the resurrection stone ring.
To be honest, Mike really hopes that Dumbledore can find the resurrection stone ring quickly so that he can be infected with the fatal curse. It is even better to fight Voldemort with the curse, and then Mike will come out to harvest a wave.
However, Mike's expectations were finally dashed, because at this time, Dumbledore's hands were normal except for some age spots, and there was no sign of the curse.
This made Mike a little disappointed.
But Mike's disappointment did not last too long, because a tall maid suddenly trotted from the inner room to the living room, bowed to everyone, and then said loudly:
"Gentlemen, the wedding is about to begin, please come in and watch the ceremony. In addition, Mr. Lupin, please follow me, I need to explain to you about the etiquette later."
After that, Lupin gave everyone an apologetic look, and then followed the maid into Tonks' room.
The rest of the people left the living room, talking and laughing, and went to the garden outside the villa, which had been decorated as a wedding scene.
Today's weather is very good. The golden sunshine dyed the benches and flowers in the garden with a hint of gold. Of course, this is not a strange thing. You know, this is the wizard world. Even if the weather is not good today, the wizards will find a way to make it better.
At this time, there are already many guests in the garden, but they are not humans, but various small animals.
Beautiful butterflies and naughty squirrels are chasing each other among the flowers, and the deer on the lawn are tilting their heads to look at Mike and others who are walking here.
Originally, this manor was completely abandoned, and there were only thorns and weeds left in the garden, but the sponsorship of the Los Santos Group changed all this and brought it back to life.
Girls are always emotional. Faced with such a beautiful scenery, Hermione almost couldn't control herself in an instant. She screamed and hugged the neck of a deer, and those deer were not afraid of strangers. Instead, they licked Hermione's face with their wet tongues.
Harry and Ron obviously fell in love with this place, but their focus was obviously different from Hermione's. They actually went straight into the flowers and chased the butterflies and squirrels inside.
Unfortunately, the speed and agility of humans are still far behind squirrels and butterflies, so in the eyes of Mike and others, Harry and Ron's behavior looked particularly stupid. George
and Fred looked at their stupid brother and shook their heads in disgust.
Mike, who was beside them, pushed George with his arm and asked:
"Did you just come back from France?"
"Yes, this time Fred and I had a lot of fun in France with my parents."
"Are you so happy that you forgot you have a little brother?"
When Mike said this, George's expression became a little embarrassed. He knew very well that Mike was saying that they all forgot about Ron.
In fact, since they saw the suit Ron was wearing, they remembered that they did not prepare a formal suit for Ron. Originally, they wanted to get away with it, but now it seems that it is not possible.
"Sorry!"
"You should tell Ron about this. This matter has hurt him a lot. He must be feeling bad now. Maybe he has some extreme thoughts. I guess you don't want another Percy to appear, right?"
When he heard Mike talking about Percy, George clenched his fists tightly. He gritted his teeth and said distressedly as if he had made a solemn decision:
"I understand, Mike. I will give him my Golden Snitch signed by Scribe (the most famous seeker in English history). That kid has been thinking about it for a long time. If he is not satisfied with it, I will... I will give him another set of the same seeker protective gear!"
Mike didn't know who Scribe was at all. He just came to remind George and the others. Now that the other party already knew, there was no need to say more.
So, Mike nodded with satisfaction and changed the subject:
"Are there only a few guests today? Moody and Kingsley are not here?"
George was relieved when he heard Mike change the subject, but suddenly he became nervous when he heard Mike bring up this topic again.
He suddenly looked around, and when he saw that no one noticed the situation here, he whispered in Mike's ear:
"You don't know yet? Moody has betrayed the Order of the Phoenix. I heard that after he was rescued by the Ministry of Magic last time, he defected to the Ministry of Magic. Now he has been rehired by the Ministry of Magic and has become a full-time consultant in the Auror Office. As for Kingsley, he has not appeared since the last time, but judging from Dumbledore's reaction, Kingsley should not be dead. He is probably sent out to perform other tasks now."
Hearing this, Mike raised his eyebrows.
Mike had actually expected the matter about Kingsley, but he really didn't expect Moody to betray the Order of the Phoenix.
However, it is still a bit exaggerated to describe Moody as betrayal. From Mike's understanding of Moody, although he did have some conflicts with Black and others, it was far from the point of betrayal. In addition, Moody's biggest enemy is still Voldemort and the Death Eaters, so Moody should just change his camp to continue to fight Voldemort. It's no big deal.
While Mike was lost in thought, the bride and groom finally entered the venue.
Tonks wore a snow-white hollow backless wedding dress, a flower crown on her head, and many butterflies and fairies around her. She looked as beautiful as a princess from a fairy tale.
At this time, Tonks was holding Lupin's hand and slowly walking towards the crowd. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and her bright red hair fluttered behind her, as dazzling as a real flame.
In contrast, today's groom Lupin was much inferior. Although Mike contacted the best makeup artist to make up for Lupin, the years and hard life still left deep marks on this old man's face.
This made him and Tonks look so out of place when standing together.
However, the two of them obviously didn't care about this. They held hands and stepped on the petals thrown by the flower girls in front of them, a man and a woman, and stood on the platform in the center of the venue.
A burst of crisp applause came from the audience, and everyone present applauded at the same time, offering blessings to the couple.
After a long time, the applause gradually stopped, and at this time, a host invited by the Los Santos Group also stood on the platform. He would host the wedding ceremony of Lupin and Tonks.
All of this was arranged by Mike according to the process of Muggle marriage, but Lupin obviously had his own ideas. He waved his hand to stop the host from speaking, and then took out a small box under the puzzled eyes of everyone, opened it to reveal the ring inside, and knelt on one knee facing Tonks.
"Tonks, I..."
Tonks covered her mouth in surprise the moment Lupin knelt on one knee. She obviously realized what Lupin was going to do next.
But unfortunately, it seemed that because of excessive tension, Lupin got stuck after reading Tonks' name, and kept saying "I, I, I".
"Oh my God! He forgot the words!" Mike slapped his forehead, "This is a disaster!"
George's expression was also a little tangled, and he echoed:
"Yeah, I guess he must be very embarrassed now!"
George was right. Lupin, who forgot the words, was so embarrassed that he almost died.
The host invited by Mike was also a smart person. Seeing this, he immediately put his wand against his throat and prepared to speak to help Lupin out.
However, Tonks was faster!
She snatched the ring from Lupin's hand and put it on her hand at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and shouted:
"I do!"
Everyone was stunned, especially Lupin. He stared at the beauty in front of him blankly, as if he had not yet reacted to what happened.
The scene was silent for a while.
Fortunately, the host reacted quickly and applauded quickly.
His crisp applause was like a switch, which suddenly woke up the rest of the people on the field. Then everyone followed suit and applauded, leaving Lupin alone, still kneeling there in a daze.
Tonks's expression was also a little ugly. Seeing this, Mike knew that with Lupin's current state, the next procedure he arranged might not be able to continue, otherwise Lupin would make more mistakes.
So Mike almost used up all his strength and shouted:
"Kiss her!"
Mike's roar startled George and others beside him, but it also made Lupin react.
He shuddered suddenly, and bounced up like a toy frog with a spring tightened, and kissed Tonks.
Everyone applauded again, and the host on the side kept glancing at his boss Mike, indicating that this was different from their original plan.
You know, in the original plan, kissing was used as the final climax. Noticing
the host's eyes, Mike quietly made a gesture to him to end, and the latter nodded slightly. After Tonks and Lupin separated, they announced at the speed of light that the two were officially married!
...
Ten minutes later, Mike looked at Lupin and Tonks who had already walked down the platform and were chatting and laughing with Harry and others, and exhaled heavily.
This is really too much effort!
Mike never expected that Lupin, a seemingly steady man, would be so nervous at such an important moment!
Fortunately, he and the host were good at responding to emergencies, otherwise the wedding would have been a disaster!
Mike felt that his thirsty throat was about to catch fire. He instinctively reached out and picked up a glass of red wine to pour it into his mouth, but an old voice came quietly from the side.
"Oh, Mike, I remember you are not yet an adult, right?"
Looking at Dumbledore who suddenly appeared in front of him with a smile, Mike's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.
But it was only for a moment, and then Mike poured the whole glass of red wine into his mouth as if he didn't hear the warning.
Then, he raised his eyebrows at Dumbledore provocatively and asked:
"Principal Dumbledore, do you have anything to do with me?"
"There is indeed something I want to ask you." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, and did not pursue Mike's drinking. He asked, "Are you free tonight?"
