"That's really sad to say." Sirius clutched his chest, but his smile grew wider.
"Follow me, professors, Remus will be very happy to see you." After Sirius left, George was not in a hurry to go back, but came to Kyle not far away.
"When I get married..." He tugged on the tie around his neck and said, "I won't engage in these tricks. I will hold a party from morning until late at night. Everyone can come whenever they want. When the time comes, you can join at any time and you can leave at any time.”
"Then you have to get through Mrs. Weasley first." Kyle handed him a bottle of ice-cold pumpkin soda, "She will definitely not agree with you doing this."
"It doesn't matter." George raised his head and took a sip of soda. "I can cast a full-body binding spell on mom until the matter is finished."
"If that's the case, remember to tell me in advance." Kyle glanced at him, "So that I can go to your grave and lay a flower the next day."
"That'll depend on her being able to catch me first." George laughed. "Well, I have to go tell the band to start playing."
After that, he walked towards the largest tree nearby, where the wizards of the band were sitting and smoking pipes. It was said that it was a very famous band, but Kyle didn't remember the name, and he didn't recognize it either.
There were fewer people attending the wedding this time than expected. By half past seven, the guests had already arrived, and most of them were acquaintances.
However, they had anticipated this situation before.
Tonks's mother was expelled from the family a long time ago because she married a wizard from a Muggle family. One of the hot holes in the tapestry of the old Black house was hers.
Because of this incident, she lost contact with almost all the people she knew. In addition, even if she had contact, those people would not be able to attend the wedding of her daughter and a werewolf.
As for Ted Tonks, most of his relatives are Muggles, and it is not appropriate to invite them to a wizard's wedding.
In addition to them, the other strangers Kyle met were Lupine's parents.
However, they came in the middle of the wedding. At that time, the host was reciting the vows, and Lupine suddenly jumped off the stage. Tonks thought that this guy regretted the marriage, and his hair turned red with anger.
It wasn't until she and others looked in the direction in which Lupine was running that they discovered the belated couple.
They are also a combination of a wizard and a Muggle, but unlike Tonks, Lupine's father is a wizard.
Lyle Lupin, an expert in dark magical creatures, a name Kyle had heard from Newt, and Newt also admired him very much.
If Kyle remembered correctly, he was probably only about sixty years old, but he looked much older than his actual age.
With a stooped figure and a head full of white hair, Newt, who was over a hundred years old, looked more energetic than him.
Lupine's mother next to her is similar.
They didn't seem to believe that Lupine was getting married at first, and thought it was a prank. It wasn't until they confirmed it with their own eyes that they finally couldn't control their emotions, hugging each other and crying with joy.
However, Kyle always felt that the relationship between them and Lupine was a bit strange. They were not close, but it could not be said to be bad. There was just a vague sense of distance between strangers and relatives.
After the brief excitement, the atmosphere between them quickly became silent again.
Lupine then returned to the stage.
Fortunately, the host was well-informed and simply ignored this episode and started reciting the unfinished oath from the beginning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we gather here to celebrate the union of two devoted souls..."
"I didn't expect them to be like this." Fred, who was sitting on Kyle's left side, suddenly muttered in a low voice.
"What do you mean?" Kyle asked.
"It's the relationship between Lupine and his parents." George on the other side said.
"The relationship between them is not good?"
"It's not that bad." Fred thought for a moment, "This happened more than thirty years ago."
"Lupin's father said something that offended the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, so Greyback broke into their house on a full moon night and bit the young Lupin."
"Yeah." Fred nodded. "Because of this incident, Lu Ping's father fell into deep self-blame. From then on, he became taciturn and did not dare to talk to Lu Ping."
"Coupled with Lupine's status as a werewolf, he also began to gradually become alienated from his parents, and then he became what he is now."
Kyle looked at the two of them doubtfully, "Why do you know so well?"
"Of course I overheard it." Fred said matter-of-factly: "When they were chatting last night, we were outside listening for three hours. Lupine also said that his parents would definitely not come to the wedding. of."
"But now it seems that he guessed wrong." George said with a smile.
"Three hours?" Kyle smacked his lips, "You guys really have enough time."
"It's worth it, isn't it?" Fred raised his eyebrows, "After all, other times, they wouldn't tell us such secrets."
Then he turned to look at the two people on the stage.
"That's great, but I still think it's too much trouble. Anyway, when I get married, I won't let someone talk endlessly on stage."
"Again, you have to convince Mrs. Weasley first." Kyle said.
As the oath was read out, some of the more emotional people began to cry. Mrs. Weasley and Hermione kept wiping their eyes. Mrs. Lupine and Mrs. Tonks also cried with joy. There were waves of trumpet blowing coming from behind. noise.
It was Hagrid. He was covering his face with a tablecloth-like handkerchief, and the sound came from his nose.
"...I declare you to be life partners."
Upon hearing this, Fred and George jumped up from their seats, took out the latte art cannons they had prepared, and let them explode above the heads of Lupine and Tonks.
This time it's not stock for Christmas, but something they specially made.
A large field of silver stars fell above their heads, and flowers of various shapes fell from the sky. They were all real flowers, and some had bees on them. They flew into the air in panic, and in the blink of an eye they rushed excitedly to the flowers below. garden.
Then Kyle also waved his magic wand, and the surrounding flowers began to grow wildly, becoming as tall as a person in the blink of an eye. Various different, furry animals jumped out from all directions, and three phoenixes fell behind the two of them and sang. A melodious song.
"It's really a good transfiguration technique." Professor McGonagall nodded approvingly at the guest table.
"Yes." Professor Sprout nodded, "But I think golden hydrangea can be used instead of orchids and roses. That is the most beautiful plant."
The two professors were discussing with great interest.
"Hey, Kyle, this was not part of the previous plan." Fred said dissatisfied.
"And you'll make us look stupid."
"It was a last-minute decision, so don't be angry." Kyle said with a smile.
He had just thought of it. After all, it was Lu Ping who was getting married. He couldn't do anything but stir up the atmosphere.
And this sudden scene also caused everyone to cheer.
Then the garden turned into a dance floor, the band played cheerful music, and drinks such as pumpkin juice, butter beer, and fire whiskey flew in from all directions and were neatly placed on the table.
"That's good." George picked up a glass of butterbeer and took a sip, "but I have a question."
"What?" Fred asked.
"Who is that person?" George pointed.
Not far from them, a stooped witch was standing there. She looked very old and seemed out of place in the lively wedding scene.
"I don't know him." Fred shook his head, "Maybe he's a neighbor nearby."

Chapter 786 Dumbledore’s sudden visit
"Neighbor?"
Fred looked at the witch not far away and thought carefully, but he never imagined that they had such a neighbor.
It wasn't until he was reminded by George that he realized that Godric's Hollow here was not in the village of Saint Catchpol. Of course, he had never seen the neighbors here.
"Do I need to invite her in?" Fred hesitated for a moment.
Because of the protection of the Red Loyalty Charm, the witch should only be able to see part of the wedding, which is outside the magic range. If she wants to participate, someone must tell her the exact address here.
But he was not familiar with this person, so he was a little undecided.
"Oh, it's such an honor to meet you, Ms. Bathilda Bagshot!"
At this moment, Mr. Weasley, who was in charge of the security mission, also discovered the situation here and hurried over with Sirius.
At the same time, his actions also attracted more people's attention, and everyone turned their heads to look over.
"Bathilda Bagshot?" Ron scratched his hair. "It looks so familiar. Why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?"
"If you can stop sleeping in class." Hermione glanced at him, "You will definitely find out that she is actually the author of "History of Magic."
"Oh, I remembered it." Harry next to him slapped his thigh, "No wonder, I saw her name on the book list.
"But Hermione, you can't blame us. No one can stay awake in History of Magic, not even you, I bet."
"But at least I have read the book." Hermione's face turned slightly red and she glared at Harry and Ron who were united front. "Unlike you, after six years, you don't even know who wrote the book."
This time, Harry and Ron were silent.
Hermione was too lazy to pay attention to them. She looked in the direction where Mr. Weasley had walked past again and couldn't help but muttered softly: "But, she looks too much like a witch."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" said Ron. "She is a witch."
"No, I mean, she looks like the witch from Muggle Tales.
"Hunchback, messy hair, and face that cannot be seen clearly, this is how witches are described in some stories I have read."
"Huh?" Ron didn't understand. "But not all witches look like this. For example, you don't."
"Thank you so much for your recognition of me." Hermione said angrily: "Of course I know this, but Muggles don't know that the witch they imagine is like Bathilda."
"Is that so?" Ron looked at Harry subconsciously.
"I don't know," Harry said, shaking his head.
Although he had lived in the house of his Muggle uncle and aunt for eleven years, he had never read the so-called collection of stories. It was something that only Dudley had access to, and would not be given to him even if it was thrown away.
And with their family's aversion to magic, Harry didn't think Uncle Vernon would allow a storybook with pictures of wizards or witches into their house.
"But what Hermione said must be right." Harry said thoughtfully: "I heard Dudley say before that wizards are ugly, and asked me if I would become like that in the future. I guess the reason why he said that , the image of wizards I came across was too bad.”
"What about the wizard?" Ron asked curiously.
"The wizard..." Hermione thought carefully, "Probably someone like Professor Dumbledore. He looks like a standard wizard no matter where he is."
"Fortunately, that's just their imagination." Ron glanced at Bathilda Bagshot again and couldn't help but patted his chest, "It would be terrible if it were true."
"Yeah, you're right." Harry said with deep approval from the side.
Imagine if Hogwarts was full of Dumbledore and Bathilda Bagshot. It would be quite scary.
"But why is she here?"
"I don't know, maybe I was attracted by the noise. After all, at this time, there are very few lively things happening, right?"
