"Ladies and gentlemen," Dumbledore's voice rang on the stage after the newlyweds were all seated. He was now standing on the high platform in front of the three couples, "Today we are gathered here to celebrate the three couples.
Loyal souls unite with each other..."
"Yes, my tiara makes Fleur more beautiful, but it's a pity that she is French." An old lady said in a whisper that could be heard far away, "And I have to say, Ginny's skirt is open.
Too low.”
"Who is this?" Ryan asked in a low voice. Percy behind him immediately raised his head and said. "This is our Aunt Muriel. The tiara on Fleur's head was borrowed from her. It is a fairy's jewelry. But
To be honest, sometimes our aunt takes too much control, but considering that she is 107 years old this year, we can't say anything."
Ryan shrugged and continued to listen to Dumbledore's speech. He only heard what he said. "Today is such a happy day, and I believe that everyone is not willing to listen to an old man like me talking about anything. Now let's get straight to the point."
After speaking, he looked at Lupin and said: "Remus John Lupin, are you willing to marry Nymphadora...?"
Ryan heard a small sob from the back row, which should be the sound made by the werewolf representatives. Then a trumpet-like sound came from behind the big tent to cover up the sobs, and everyone knew that Hagrid had taken out the
His handkerchief was as big as a tablecloth. Hermione held Ryan's hand firmly and turned her head to look at him. Ryan saw that the corners of her eyes became crystal clear at this time.
"...I declare you to be lifelong partners." Five or six minutes later, Professor Dumbledore finally finished all the testimonials for the three groups of newcomers, and then took out his wand and waved it high above the heads of the three couples.
A large swath of silver stars erupted from the wand head and fell on them, spinning around their bodies that were hugging each other tightly. Fred and George took the lead in applauding, and the golden balloons above their heads exploded: birds of paradise and little golden bells.
It flew out from inside and floated in the air, adding to the noise of the whole place the sounds of birds and bells.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Dumbledore said in a higher tone at this time. "Please stand up!"
Everyone stood up as instructed, and Dumbledore waved his wand again. All the seats rose into the air lightly and gracefully, and the canvas of the big tent disappeared. They stood under the ceiling supported by golden pillars, looking at the sun.
The splendid orchards and surrounding countryside are stunningly beautiful.
Then a ball of golden light slowly emerged from the ground in the center of the tent, and then formed a sparkling golden dance floor. The chairs floating in the air automatically gathered next to the small table covered with white tablecloth, and together they floated back to the surroundings of the dance floor lightly and gracefully.
On the ground, the band wearing golden jackets walked towards the stage in unison.
"It's so exquisite." Ryan exclaimed. Even though he had traveled to so many worlds before, he swore that he had never seen a world where the magic could be used so well in life.
At this time, waiters appeared from all directions, some carrying silver trays with pumpkin juice, butterbeer and firewhiskey on them; some carrying a pile of crumbling pies and sandwiches.
Ryan and Hermione each took a glass of butterbeer from a tray they passed by, and then found a table in the corner to sit down. Soon the three couples entered the dance floor, winning warm applause from everyone. After a while
, Mr. Weasley led Mrs. Delacour to the dance floor, followed by Mrs. Weasley and Fleur's father.
"I like this song." Luna suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swaying gently to a waltz-like rhythm. After a few seconds, she stood up and slid lightly to the dance floor, where she was alone
One person was spinning on the spot, eyes closed, and arms waving.
Watching Luna dancing alone, her arms waving around her head as if trying to drive away mosquitoes. Ryan suddenly wanted to dance for a while, so he pulled Hermione onto the dance floor.
After dancing two songs, Ryan saw Dumbledore sitting at a table in the distance waving to him, so he said sorry to Hermione and walked over, and Hermione walked off the dance floor with him and returned.
Beside the table.
"Good afternoon, Professor Dumbledore." Ryan said to Professor Dumbledore who was sitting there. At this time, Dumbledore was sitting there with a small cup of golden mead, looking at the dance on the dance floor with a smile.
people.
"Good afternoon, Ryan." Dumbledore responded, and then looked at the happy crowd on the dance floor and said, "This is everything we have to protect. Every time I see them, I feel that all my efforts are worth it."
of."
"Indeed." Ryan nodded. "So sometimes we have to do some very bad things, and we have to pay some price in order to protect this beautiful thing."
Hearing Ryan say some things so straightforwardly, Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then put down his glass and turned to look at him. "Child, you don't have to bear all the burden on yourself for some things. There are many things you can try.
Trust others.”
"I know, Professor Dumbledore, I will try my best to trust others." Ryan nodded. Dumbledore saw that Ryan was not sincere in his words, but he didn't say much.
Ever since Ryan faced Voldemort head-on a few days ago, Dumbledore has completely regarded Ryan as a person who has the strength to communicate with him on an equal footing, so on this issue that is not a matter of principle, he is not like Ryan imagined.
Teach him something like that.
"Okay, let's talk about other things." After a brief exchange between the two parties, Dumbledore simply changed the subject to what he really wanted to talk about today. "I have received the letter you gave me before.
, thanks to the help of Ms. Burns, Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the procedures for Lucius Malfoy's bail and release from prison have been completed, and I can go to Azkaban with you tomorrow to pick him up."
"Thank you!" Ryan said sincerely. Even his strength was of little use when dealing with this kind of matter. The network of relationships in the magical world cannot be built in a day or two, and what Ryan lacked was time.
"It's nothing, this kind of thing is just a piece of cake for an old man like me." Dumbledore said, raising his glass and taking a sip, and then said, "But do you really think Lucius Malfoy will be really good after he is released?"
Are you turning towards us?"
"Definitely." Ryan nodded. "To be precise, he can only turn to us. The mysterious man is not a benevolent leader. I don't believe that after the big incident at the end of last semester, he will give Malfoy
Another chance for the family."
"That's right. According to the information I received, the Malfoy family is now on the same level as Igor Karkaroff in the eyes of Voldemort. With Tom's character since childhood, it is impossible for him to admit the incident in the castle at the end of last semester.
The failure of the attack was due to their own fault, so the Malfoy family, who was responsible for the specific implementation, would naturally bear all the consequences of the failure. The reason that the Malfoys were traitors could indeed perfectly cover up Voldemort's actions in the last semester.
That mistake.”
At this point, Dumbledore changed the subject. "As the people who sabotaged an important conspiracy by Voldemort last semester, you and Hermione are now Voldemort's priority targets. Do you really not consider living in the Burrow for the rest of the summer vacation?"
"
"Thank you, but I think it's not necessary." Ryan said easily, "As a master alchemist, I am confident in the defense of my home. You don't need to worry about this."
"Okay." Dumbledore did not continue to persuade. He also knew that an alchemist's home was not that easy to break through. Since Ryan dared to say this, it proved that he was indeed fully prepared. "Then tomorrow morning I will be ten
I'll pick you up when you order, and then we'll take Lucius from Azkaban to Sirius' ancestral home."
