Chapter 640 Wedding (Part 1)

Three days later, the day Penelope had been waiting for finally arrived.

This time, the wedding venue for her and Mike was set on the Hogwarts campus.

This is an extremely rare decision, because Hogwarts is a very special place for wizards in the whole country of Ying. Generally speaking, no one would dare to hold a wedding here, and no principal would agree to this request.

But this set of common sense is different for Mike.

You must know that Mike can now be said to be the most powerful person in the whole of Europe. In addition, the current principal of Hogwarts is also his teacher. As long as Professor Flitwick nods, no outsider dares to have any opinions.

The reason why Mike finally chose Hogwarts as the wedding venue is also very simple.

This is where Mike and Penelope first met. Mike and Penelope have always believed that if they choose to get married here, it will give this wedding a more special commemorative significance.

In addition, Mike also considered the political significance of this wedding.

Now the Ministry of Magic of Ying is launching a talent introduction plan on a large scale, among which international students are a very important part.

As the Minister of Magic, his wedding will inevitably attract a large number of celebrities and upper-class nobles. At that time, he can also show the faculty of Hogwarts and make an enrollment advertisement.

Of course, Mike will never tell Penelope about this meaning, which will make this wedding no longer pure.

The exact time of the wedding ceremony was set at dusk, so in the afternoon of that day, Mike and his best man group had already rushed to Hogwarts and began to check the relevant equipment that was basically ready in Hogwarts.

These include bouquets, corsages, flower baskets, petals, bands, on-site decorations, food, fairies, etc. that will be used in the wedding.

It has to be said that getting married is indeed a very tedious thing, which is the same in almost all places in the world, and even wizards are no exception.

Fortunately, Mike is relatively rich, which means that he does not have to spend too much experience on these preparations.

While Mike and others were working in Hogwarts, Penelope and her bridesmaids were also busy in the Masonic secrets.

Compared to the large amount of preparation work that men need to do, ladies only need to dress themselves up and not be late.

But this is not easy.

Because the dresses and makeup needed for the wedding are too complicated.

Mike only rushed to Hogwarts to check the scene in the afternoon, but Penelope and her bridesmaids have been busy since early morning.

It is also worth mentioning that Penelope's parents were also taken to the Masonic Secret by Mike and are now accompanying Penelope.

Penelope's father is a lumberjack with a strong body, a hot temper and a bad habit of alcoholism, but fortunately he has no habit of domestic violence and is not too bad.

As for her mother, she is a full-time mother.

Unfortunately, with only Penelope as a child, the work of a full-time mother is obviously too leisurely.

In addition, Penelope's father has been ignoring her for many years, which has led to Penelope's mother often going out to seek comfort.

With such a combination of parents and her family being relatively poor, Penelope's relationship with her parents was not very good. This can be seen from the fact that she never returned home after she became capable.

However, Michael attached great importance to his family, so although he knew that Penelope and her parents were not good people, he still insisted on inviting them to the scene.

Penelope's parents were naturally very happy about this. After all, although they did not understand what the Minister of Magic was, they at least knew that their daughter had married a powerful and wealthy man.

Penelope's feelings were a bit complicated.

On the one hand, she would be dissatisfied if Michael did not invite her parents, but now that Michael invited them, she was a little worried and uncomfortable.

After all, she knew what kind of people her parents were. However

, Michael could not care about Penelope's thoughts. At this moment, he had checked all the equipment, and as time went by, the guests were already entering one after another.

The invitations that Michael sent out this time were very comprehensive. He sent invitations with portkeys to almost all the teachers and students of Hogwarts and his friends, as well as various powerful nobles in Ying Country and the Ministers of Magic of various European countries. The

first to arrive among these guests were naturally Sirius Black, Lupin and Tonks.

Michael had just finished his preparations when Black and his friends had already stepped into the hall.

"Michael, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Happy wedding!"

As soon as they saw Michael, the three of them expressed their congratulations to Michael.

But compared to the solemnity of Lupin and Tonks, Black's expression was a little absent-minded.

Mack naturally knew what he was thinking about. He was just thinking about Harry, so he shook his head and said to Black:

"Harry is still doing voluntary labor. He will come before the wedding starts."

"Voluntary labor?" Black frowned at first, and then his eyes lit up. "Maybe I can help him do it!"

Mack shrugged and said:

"It's up to you. Professor Flitwick is in his original office. If he agrees, I have no objection."

"Then I'll go!"

After saying that, Black trotted out of the hall.

After sending Black away, Mack finally had time to properly entertain the Lupins.

At this time, the two were wearing formal clothes. Mack didn't know much about clothes, but these clothes looked quite new and the fabrics were good. They should have been customized by them.

This also showed that the Lupins' financial situation after marriage was not bad. This

made Mack very happy. The reason why he separated Lupin and Tonks from those related things was to change their fate, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.

It’s worth mentioning that Tonks’ belly was already very big, which made the style of her dress a little strange. It wasn’t pretty, but it was definitely comfortable.

Seeing this, Mike immediately became excited. He curiously looked at Tonks' belly for a while, then looked up and asked:

"How many months? She should be born soon, right?"

"It's been more than eight months," Tonks replied with a smile. "The due date is in one and a half months. The Muggle doctor who examined us said that the baby is very healthy and recommended that we give birth naturally."

"Really? Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Lupin responded with a smile, and only then did Mike notice that Lupin had become thinner and his hair was much whiter.

But this did not make him depressed, but made him more dangerous.

His bloodshot eyes kept turning, and his body was faintly blocking Tonks' side. His muscles were tense, as if he was always alert to possible attacks.

Mike also knew something about the couple's situation, so he knew the reason why Lupin became like this.

He sighed and said to Lupin sincerely:

"Hey, Lupin, relax. It's absolutely safe here. I can assure you with everything I have. And you don't have to worry too much about the child's bloodline. He may not be a werewolf. What if he inherits his mother's bloodline and becomes a deformed Animagus? And, even if the worst happens, what then? Wolfsbane potion is now almost universal, and the rights of werewolves are gradually being protected. Your child will definitely be happy!"

"Thank you, Mike!"

Lupin said with red eyes.

This is his sincere words. Whether it is in the struggle for the human rights of werewolves or in caring for him personally, Mike has done his best.

Then Mike persuaded Lupin and his wife for a few more words, and then let Franklin lead them to rest in the castle.

After seeing off Lupin and his wife, new guests arrived.

This time, it was the French Minister of Magic and all the ministers of his fence-sitting faction.

With so many people and their respective female companions, Mike's surroundings instantly became crowded.

Fortunately, they all had good etiquette and were dressed formally, so the atmosphere was pretty good.

Most importantly, they each presented many valuable gifts.

The French Minister of Magic was the most generous. He directly gave Mike 100 senior combat wizards!

Yes, you heard it right, he used people as gifts. However,

he did not send these people here directly, but gave Mike an employment contract.

As long as Mike signed it, these 100 wizards would be employed by Mike for 100 years, and their annual salary was only a pitiful 100 gold galleons.

To be honest, Mike was surprised when he received this gift.

After all, the entire French Ministry of Magic is now under his control, and the French Minister of Magic is strictly speaking just a bare commander.

So it was hard for him to think of where the other party got so many people from.

But it didn't matter. Anyway, Mike just wanted to take the benefits.

But even though he got the benefits, Mike's attitude towards these fence-sitters was still not much better. He just perfunctorily said a few words and asked them to find a place to rest.

And after that, the noble forces of Yingguo arrived.

The more representative ones are the Malfoy family and the Hunter family.

Their gifts are also very generous. The Malfoy family directly gave Mike a winery, and the Hunter family gave Mike a silent bird breeding farm.

In addition to them, many other nobles came. Mike was not too familiar with these people, and the gifts they gave were not expensive enough to leave a deep impression.

But after Mike's preliminary estimation, at least all the surviving families in the Holy Twenty-Eight Clans should have come.

The last group of guests to arrive were a group of resolute magic ministries represented by the Magical Congress of the United States.

It's just that their Minister of Magic did not come in person, but chose to send an envoy to present gifts.

Mike was not too surprised by this. With his relationship with Picquery and others, it would be strange if they were willing to come.

At this point, all the guests were here.

Mike looked at the gradually dimming sky outside and decisively asked Benjamin to arrange for everyone to sit down.

The wedding ceremony was held in the hall of Hogwarts Castle. The four long tables representing the four major colleges were removed and replaced by rows of dense benches similar to those in a church.

In addition, the overall color of the hall has been changed to blue and white. The walls are covered with vines, which are densely covered with countless colorful flowers. Butterflies and various small birds are constantly flying among them. The crisp and moving bird calls and the rich fragrance make people feel relaxed. The

guests present were curiously looking at the surrounding arrangements. Those who came here were better and finally maintained some manners.

But those students who were placed on the left side of the hall and had just entered the hall after class were different. They all stared with wide eyes and kept looking around. From time to time, there would be bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

This also made the whole hall gradually noisy.

But this is understandable, after all, today is a rare good day.

The other guests sitting opposite them didn't care either, and many of them even kept casting kind eyes at them.

At this moment, the professors of Hogwarts and Mike and others came outside the castle, looking at the sky in the distance, waiting for the arrival of the bride.

Professor Flitwick also wore the grand dress he mentioned last time. The light blue dress did not look abrupt or weird on his short body, but made Professor Flitwick look younger and more energetic.

However, Professor Flitwick looked more nervous than Mike, the formal groom. They had just waited outside for less than five minutes, and he had asked Mike four times if he was missing any clothes.

This scene made Benjamin and others laugh kindly, while Mike could only comfort Professor Flitwick over and over again.

But this was actually of little use. Flitwick couldn't calm down at all at this time. Today was the wedding day of his disciple Mike, and Mike also invited him to be the representative of the man's family and the witness.

This can be said to have elevated his position to an incomparably important level.

Professor Flitwick really couldn't imagine what a terrible disaster it would be if he made any mistakes at such a critical moment!

Now all he could do was to repeat to himself over and over again to stay calm in an attempt to control his emotions.

At this moment, a series of exclamations suddenly came from the crowd around him.

Professor Flitwick instinctively opened his eyes, and saw that in the center of the orange-red warm sun that was about to fall into the sky in the distance, several small black dots suddenly appeared. These small black dots kept getting bigger, and it seemed that they were a flying object flying towards them.

Now all the psychological preparation that Professor Flitwick had worked so hard to prepare collapsed. He instinctively clenched his fists and shouted in a panic:

"Are they here? Are they really here?"
