Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 420 Finally got married
In the living room, everyone was still talking and laughing and teasing Blake.

Mike, who brought up this topic, observed Blake's reaction without saying a word.

As a reader of the original novel, he really likes the character of Sirius Black and hopes that he can live a happy life, such as getting married and starting a family.

But judging from Blake's reaction, Mike's wish would probably not be fulfilled.

Because Black's whole body and mind are on Harry at this moment, it is estimated that Black will not consider starting a family before Harry graduates.

"call!"

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 and saw Dumbledore, wearing a luxurious wizard robe embroidered with gold thread, walking slowly towards the living room.

Behind him were the Weasleys and brothers George and Fred, who were also dressed gorgeously. However, although their suits were also very gorgeous, they were not American in style. They were more like French and looked a bit flashy.

Mike understood almost instantly that the Weasleys had been staying in France with George and Fred all this time, and that their dresses must have been purchased in France.

Compared to before they left, the Weasleys looked much better, and Mr. Weasley had even gained some weight. It seemed that George and Fred took good care of them.

"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy."

Dumbledore asked with a smile, looking as if he knew nothing about what Mike and the others were doing at Hogwarts.

Perhaps to prevent the topic from being brought up again, Blake jumped out and said before Mike and the others had a chance to speak:

"We were discussing when the bride would come out. She spent the whole morning getting dressed."

It has to be said that Blake is also a master at changing the subject. As soon as he said this, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused and they all started discussing gossip about the bride.

"Oh! You should be more considerate, Black. Otherwise, you might end up like me, never getting married." Dumbledore frowned and said humorously, "Although I am not married either, I know very well that girls do need to spend a lot of time and energy on this. Although Tonks is a rather careless girl, any girl would be the same in the face of such an important event in life."

Dumbledore's words were immediately agreed by Mrs. Weasley and Hermione. While praising Dumbledore, they also teased Black, making the latter's expression, which had just returned to normal, become awkward again.

Everyone in the living room burst into laughter again.

Mike remained silent, observing Dumbledore's hands.

He had learned from the professors before that Dumbledore was not actually in Hogwarts at all, which was why the professors were so busy that they couldn't even take care of the order of the school.

Although the professors did not explain the reason why Dumbledore left school, Mike actually knew it very well. He must have gone to look for the Horcrux!
Of the remaining two Horcruxes, Slytherin's pendant box was not so easy to obtain, so Dumbledore's only target was the Resurrection Stone ring.

To be honest, Mike really hopes that Dumbledore can find the Resurrection Stone Ring as soon as possible so that he can be infected with the deadly curse. It would even be best to fight Voldemort with the curse, and then Mike can come out and reap the rewards.

However, Mike's expectations were ultimately dashed, because at this time Dumbledore's hands were normal except for some age spots, and there was no sign of being cursed.

This couldn't help but make Mike a little disappointed.

But Mike's disappointment did not last 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. Also, Mr. Lupin, please follow me. I need to explain to you more about the etiquette later."

After saying that, Lupin gave everyone an apologetic look, 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 venue.

The weather today is very good. The golden sunshine has dyed the benches and flowers in the garden with a hint of gold. Of course, this is not something strange. You have to know that this is the wizarding world. Even if the weather is not good today, the wizards will find a way to make it better.

There were already quite a few guests in the garden at this time, but they were not humans, but various small animals.

Beautiful butterflies and naughty squirrels were chasing each other among the flowers, while the deer on the lawn tilted their heads to look at Mike and others who were walking towards them.

Originally the manor was completely abandoned, with only thorns and weeds left in the garden, but the sponsorship of the Los Santos Group changed all that and brought new life to the place.

Girls are always sentimental. Faced with such a beautiful view, Hermione almost couldn't control herself in an instant. She screamed and hugged the neck of a deer. The deer were not afraid of strangers and licked Hermione's face with their wet tongues.

Harry and Ron obviously fell in love with this place too, but their focus was obviously different from Hermione's. They actually went straight into the flowers and chased the butterflies and squirrels inside.

Unfortunately, humans' speed and agility are still far inferior to those of squirrels and butterflies, so in the eyes of Mike and others, Harry and Ron's behavior looks particularly stupid.

George and Fred looked at their silly brother and shook their heads in disgust.

Mike next to him saw this and nudged George with his arm and asked:

"Have you just returned from France?"

"Yes, Fred and I had a lot of fun in France with our parents this time."

"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 had forgotten about Ron.

In fact, ever since they saw the suit Ron was wearing, they remembered that they had not prepared a formal dress for Ron. Originally, they wanted to get away with it, but now it seems that it is no longer possible.

"Feel sorry!"

"You should tell Ron about this. This incident has caused him a lot of harm. He must be feeling very upset right now, and he might even have some extreme thoughts. I guess you don't want a second Percy to appear, do you?"

When George heard Mike talking about Percy, he 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) later. That kid has been coveting it for a long time. If he is not satisfied with it, I will... I will give him another set of the same seeker's protective gear!"

Mike didn't know who Skerry 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 these the only guests today? Moody and Kingsley are not here?"

George was relieved when Mike changed the subject, but when he heard Mike bring it up again, his expression became tense again. He looked around and when he saw no one was paying attention, he whispered in Mike's ear:
"You don't know yet, do you? 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 and has now been rehired by the Ministry of Magic as a full-time consultant in the Auror Office. As for Kingsley, he has not appeared since 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 anticipated what happened to Kingsley, but he really didn't expect Moody to betray the Order of the Phoenix.

However, it is a bit of an exaggeration to describe Moody as a betrayer. Based on 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 was still Voldemort and the Death Eaters, so Moody should have just changed camp to continue fighting against Voldemort. It was no big deal.

Just as Mike was lost in thought, the bride and groom finally entered the venue.

Tonks wore a snow-white, hollow backless wedding dress and a flower crown on her head. She was surrounded by many butterflies and elves. She looked as beautiful as a princess from a fairy tale.

At this moment, Tonks was holding Lupin's hand and walking slowly towards the crowd. Her face was filled with a happy smile and her bright red hair was fluttering behind her, as dazzling as a real flame.

In contrast, today's groom Lupin is much inferior. Although Mike contacted the best makeup artist to do Lupin's makeup, 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 standing together.

However, the two of them obviously didn't care about this. They held hands and stood on the platform in the center of the venue, stepping on the petals thrown by a boy and a girl, a pair of flower girls in front of them.

A burst of crisp applause came from the audience, and everyone present clapped in unison, offering their blessings to the beautiful couple.

The applause gradually died down after a long time, and at this time a host invited by the Los Santos Group also stood on the platform. He will then preside over the wedding ceremony of Lupin and Tonks.

All of this was arranged by Mike according to the Muggle marriage procedure, but Lupin obviously had his own ideas. He waved his hand to stop the host from speaking, and then, under everyone's puzzled gaze, he took out a small box, opened it to reveal the ring inside, and knelt down 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, as if due to excessive nervousness, Lupin got stuck after reading Tonks's name, and kept mumbling to himself.

"Oh my God! He forgot the lyrics!" Mike slapped himself on the forehead. "This is a disaster!"

George on the side also had a confused expression and echoed:

"Yeah, I guess he must be extremely embarrassed now!"

What George said was absolutely right. Lupin, who had forgotten the words, was so embarrassed that he almost died.

The host invited by Mike was also a smart guy. Seeing this, he immediately put his wand to his throat and prepared to speak to help Lupin.

However, Tonks was faster!

She snatched the ring from Lupin's hand at a speed so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye and put it on her hand, while shouting:
"I am willing!"

Everyone was stunned, especially Lupin. He stared blankly at the beauty in front of him, as if he had not yet reacted to what was happening.

The scene suddenly became silent.

Fortunately, the host reacted quickly and started applauding.

His crisp applause was like a switch, which immediately woke up the rest of the people on the field. Then everyone started to applaud, leaving Lupin alone, still kneeling there in a daze.

Tonks's expression also looked a little unhappy. Seeing this, Mike knew that with Lupin's current condition, the procedure he had arranged might not be able to continue, otherwise Lupin would make even more mistakes.

So Mike shouted with almost all his strength:
"Kiss her!"

Mike's roar startled George and others nearby, but it also made Lupin react.

He shuddered suddenly, then sprang up like a clockwork toy frog and kissed Tonks.

Everyone applauded once 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 to be the final climax.

Noticing the host's eyes, Mike quietly made a gesture of ending to him, and the latter nodded slightly. After Tonks and Lupin separated, he announced at the speed of light that the two were officially married!

……

Ten minutes later, Mike let out a long breath as he looked at Lupin and Tonks who had already walked down the platform and were chatting and laughing with Harry and the others.

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 are good at adapting to changing circumstances, otherwise the wedding would definitely be a disaster!
Mike felt like his throat was about to catch fire from thirst. He instinctively reached out to pick up a glass of red wine and was about to pour it into his mouth, but an elderly voice quietly came from the side.

"Oh, Mike, I think you are underage?"

Looking at the smiling Dumbledore who suddenly appeared in front of him, 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, what do you want from me?"

"Indeed, there is something I want to ask you." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head. He did not pursue the matter of Mike's drinking and asked, "Are you free tonight?"
