Port of Southampton, 29 July 1999.

A passenger ship from Stockholm, docked in the harbor, and countless travelers flocked from the passenger ship.

A strange man in a yellow-black cloak that easily attracts the attention of other passers-by...... He has several tarot cards in his hand and a crystal ball hanging from his waist, looking mysterious.

Zacharith Smith is the name of this strange man.

It stands to reason that after graduating from Hogwarts two months ago, he should have undergone special prophecy training at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, there is only one fundamental reason why he appeared in London -

That's a big wedding!

......

Zacharis didn't care about the gazes of others, he looked at a note in his hand and muttered to himself:

"Hampshire, City of Southampton, Eastleigh Road, Eighty-Six...... It should be right here!"

Zacharis, with his head down, was not paying attention and knocked down with another man.

"Ouch!" Zacharis couldn't help but cover his forehead.

The man he bumped into looked even more painful, as the crystal ball hanging from Zachares' waist seemed to be diaphragm into his lower body......

"It's all right, sir......" Zacharis asked with some concern, stretching out a hand.

Suddenly, his movements froze in mid-air, and the whole person was stunned.

"Are you...... You are...... Professor Lockhart?" he shouted in surprise.

"Shhh

"It's been a long time, Professor Lockhart!" Zacharith said excitedly, "Are you here for the wedding too?"

"Of course......" Gilderoy Lockhart nodded and whispered, "Don't make a noise, I'm a wanted ...... now"

"Jon would invite you?" Zacharith seemed curious.

"I have a very good relationship with their family!" Lockhart said proudly.

Then he swaggered into Eighty-Six Eastleigh Road.

Mr. Zacharith Smith pondered as he looked at Lockhart's back......

"I'll have to think about it, what is Gilderoy Lockhart's bounty?" he said to himself.

......

However, Zacharis finally gave up on this idea, after all, it was his best friend Jon's wedding, so it was better not to cause him trouble.

What's more, Gilderoy Lockhart should also be the guest invited by Jon.

In the courtyard of 86 Eastleigh Road, a huge white tent has been set up.

In the tent, many musicians in white robes had arrived at the wedding an hour earlier, holding their assortment of golden instruments.

Zacharis saw that the scene was filled with magical blue smoke, like a fairyland.

Behind him, from the entrance to the tent, rows of delicate golden seats were neatly arranged on either side of the long purple carpet.

And the pillars of the tent are also coiled with flowers of various colors, decorating it with a new look.

A large bouquet of golden balloons adorned the innermost part of the tent, above the place where the newlyweds were married.

Outside, bees and butterflies are circling and frolicking in the lawn and bushes...... Everything seemed incomparably harmonious, and peaceful.

Zacharis saw many acquaintances, such as the Hogwarts graduates.

There are all kinds of houses, whether it's Hufflepuff and Slytherin, or Gryffindor and Ravenclaw...... Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley were standing hand in hand, with the Weasley boys beside him, Malfoy and Parkinson, Madeleine and Selwyn...... It's all familiar faces.

Zacharis also saw Hermione Granger, her face was very poor, and her clothes looked not at all decent, even a little dirty...... It seems that it is rumored that she is engaged in the liberation of the house-elves, and has been eating and living with the house-elves, perhaps true......

"Hannah!" Finally, Zachares saw his Hufflepuff friends.

Hannah Abbott waved at him, followed by Neville Longbottom.

Ernie McMillan is still the same stinky fart, and Cedric Diggory is still handsome and dashing, and Ravenclaw's Cho Chang stands with him.

......

In addition to the Hogwarts graduates, there were many middle-aged and elderly wizard faces in the tent.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix, for example, were almost all there, and they gathered around Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shackle.

There are also many high-ranking members of the Ministry of Magic, including Minister Amelia Bones and Director Rufus Scrimgeour.

And the teachers of Hogwarts, this does not need to be said.

In addition, there are family members of the newlyweds...... Eric and Julie Hart, Mrs. Diana Greengrass, and the bride's sister, Daphne Greengrass......

In the most prominent position in the tent, there were also two strange old men.

I don't know why, outside of the bald one...... Zacharis always felt that the other white-haired old man looked a little familiar......

It's just that the two sides are far apart and can't be seen clearly.

......

The Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Minerva McGonagall, approached the white-haired old man, unable to believe her gaze.

"You...... You...... You're ......," Professor McGonagall said, trembling.

"Long time no see, Minerva......" Albus Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Merlin's beard...... You're still ......."

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you all because I wanted to let go of my past completely......," Albus Dumbledore said gently, "I didn't die at the time, Jon saved me at the last moment......"

“...... I wasn't going to be in front of you again...... It's a pity that Jon had to invite me to his wedding, and invite me and my friends to be his witnesses!"

Dumbledore seemed to remember something, "By the way, Minerva...... I should introduce you to this Gellert ......"

The bald old man bowed lightly to Professor McGonagall rather gracefully.

"Cover ...... Gellert ...... "Professor Minerva McGonagall was almost taken aback.

Her hands were trembling slightly.

Because she recognized it, this harmless old man...... His true identity is the Black Lord who once had an unknown number of lives in his hands-

Gellert Grindelwald!

......

The wedding officially began, and Zacharis stopped chatting with his friends.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said a magnetic voice, from the old man whom Zacharis had just thought was familiar, "please all stand. ”

Everyone present, wizards and Muggles, stood up.

And the gray-haired old man walked up to Jon and Astoria: "Today we are gathered together to witness the godsend of the two newcomers......"

"The bride is beautiful!" Hannah whispered.

"Alright, Jon Eric Hart, join hands with Astoria Alice Greengrass......" continued the gray-haired old man.

In the front row, the handkerchiefs of Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Greengrass were already soaked with tears of happiness.

The bride's sister, Daphne Greengrass, also wept silently.

A trumpet-like snort sounded in the back row, and without asking, Professor Hagrid, the future head of Gryffindor House, had already pulled out his trademark tablecloth-sized handkerchief and began sobbing.

Many girls are also in tears!

“...... Now, I declare you married!" the gray-haired old man finally announced.

Beside them, the bareheaded old man swung his wand at Jon and Astoria's heads, and fantastical gold and silver stars rose and swirled around them.

With a round of applause, the golden balloons exploded one after another, turning into happy birds and golden wall clocks fluttering in the air, and the beautiful music sounded.

The applause is like a thunderous version, endless.

The gray-haired old man and the bare-headed old man waved their wands at the same time.

A strange scene happened, the white tent disappeared instantly, and the seat they had just sat on flew up.

They soar into the sky and transform into gorgeous golden vaults, which are breathtaking.

Then, a little golden light spread out from the center of the original tent, and the wind and clouds began to change under their feet—

It ends up being a huge dance floor!

House-elves popped up here and there, carrying pumpkin juice, butterbeer, and Coca-Cola on silver plates......

The bride and groom also walked on the dance floor arm in arm.

But they didn't rush to lead the dance, but hugged each other tightly -

"Jon, I love you!" Astoria whispered.

"Me too!" Jon nodded.
