Most of the guests know each other, and they gather to discuss the current situation before the wedding begins. A group of wizards in golden vests, all sorts of oddly shaped musical instruments, passed before Phoenix's eyes.
"βI was going to speak to Mr. Carlo, but he asked me to come to you. β
Phoenix motioned in a nasal voice for him to continue.
"Dumbledore's death is a major blow to the anti-dark arts forces in Europe. Dark wizards are moving around, and chaos and turmoil are inevitable. A lot of new generation of dark wizards are making trouble everywhere, and to tell you the truth, we can't do it. β
"Is it France, orβ" He kept looking at the door,
"A lot - France, the Netherlands, Spain, a lot, we, the directors, have already met. We think perhaps, it's time for some tough tactics. β
"What do you mean?" asked Phoenix.
Amonkie stared into Phoenix's eyes, his small mustache twitching a few times.
"We felt it was time to bypass certain rules and laws. Give the Aurors the right to follow, just like Crouch did for more than ten years. The Aurors can move more quickly and accurately, and are more comfortable with the Dark Wizards. β
In the distance, Hermione walked alone, an unseen object leading her towards Phoenix.
"Later, you're looking for me. With that, Phoenix straightened his robe and walked away.
As he got closer, Phoenix saw a house-elf leading the way in front of Hermione. It was not worn in tatters as usual, but wrapped in a huge napkin.
"Did I mention you're pretty today?" Phoenix took Hermione's hand, and the two of them walked to the first row.
"I just met your aunt, and she wasn't very happy to see me. Hermione said, with a smile on her face, "She criticized me for saying 'It's not beautiful and it's scantily dressed.'" ββ
"She's been traveling around the world," Phoenix said, turning his head to look, "Ah, I see her." Ignore her, my uncle ran away with a Muggle girl and disappeared without a trace. β
Hermione seemed interested in the story, and as they sat down, Phoenix briefly spoke to her.
The auditorium was filled with nervous anticipation, and the buzzing of speech was punctuated by excited laughter. As the Gustavs slowly walked down the aisle, everyone gradually fell silent. They smiled and waved to their relatives.
Moments later, Bill and Charlie stood at the door of the auditorium, both dressed in tuxedoes and robes with large white roses in their buttonholes. Several people stood up and whistled provocatively. Then music played, and he quietly said goodbye to Hermione and walked to the master of ceremonies.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" said a thin wizard, "please stand!"
As Mr. Heinrich and Louise walked down the aisle, the guests beat to the music. Louise had a light gait, and Mr. Heinrich had a reluctant face, and the corners of his mouth always twitched unnaturally when he passed by some people or objects with very obvious wizarding characteristics. Louise wore a white dress with pearls hanging from it, her face shy and her head bowed.
The red cheeks are faintly visible even through the veil.
Little Henry finally adjusted the bouquet on Andrei's chest and winked playfully at Phoenix next to him. The bride walked up to Andrei and reluctantly handed her daughter's hand to Andrei.
They talked a few words in detail, usually the son-in-law assuring the father-in-law of something.
Andrei was full of spring breeze and walked to the master of ceremonies with the bride. Phoenix stood higher and looked down on them.
"Ladies and gentlemen," said the master of ceremonies, dryly, "we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of two faithful soulsβ"
The long oath was spoken for about ten minutes.
"Andrea Antioch Peverell Gustav, would you like to marry Louise Goldhardt Heinrichβ"
The two people sitting in the front row are currently covering their faces with handkerchiefs and crying quietly. Hermione looked up at Phoenix with a smile on her face, tears in her eyes.
The master of ceremonies did not directly announce that they were married, but moved out of the way.
Phoenix stood in front of them, and Watson, who had been staying next to them, stepped forward, holding a blue velvet cushion with two identical necklaces on it.
The only difference between the two necklaces is that Andre wears the standard Peverell coat of arms, while Louise wears the upside-down Peverell coat of arms.
He bent down, and Andre and Louise kissed Phoenix on the cheek.
"I declare you legally married!"
Watson waved his wand high above their heads, and a large silver star fell on them, swirling around their bodies that were now tightly embraced. The young people among the guests led the applause, and the bird of paradise flew to the top of the auditorium out of nowhere. As a result, the noise of the audience was added to the sound of birds.
The wizard waved his wand again. All the seats are lightly and elegantly jumped to the wall. A crack appeared in the wall about five or six years high, and a platform popped out, and two stairs fell to the ground with a 'clang'.
Then, a pool of molten gold seeped through a crack in the ground, creating a glittering golden dance floor.
House-elves popped up from all directions, some carrying silver trays of pumpkin juice, butterbeer and flaming whiskey, others carrying fine food.
The music starts and the bride and groom start the dance, and Phoenix leads Hermione onto the dance floor. Mr. and Mrs. Gustav and Mr. and Mrs. Heinrich joined in, and the others gathered them around to watch, or they couldn't wait to start padding their stomachs.
The four pairs of dancers dance in unison to the music. As if some kind of elaborate rehearsal had been carefully rehearsed, the dance was finished. Everyone stepped forward to congratulate them, and the crowd of blessings soon surrounded the couple.
"Shall we not go over?" said Hermione, standing on her tiptoes.
"It's okay to wait. Phoenix gave Amanch a look. Take Hermione to the newly conjured second floor, where there are some small round tables and chairs for people to come up and rest after they are tired of playing.
At this time, the banquet had just begun, and it was naturally empty.
They had just taken their seats on the balcony when Amanch arrived with a few men. Hermione withdrew her gaze, not looking at a bird of bliss that had landed on the railing.
"I'll leave first. Hermione said.
"I want you to stay with me. "Don't worry, it'll be over in a minute." β
Amunch introduced Phoenix to several other wizards, who were Aurors like Amonk. He beckoned to conjure up a few chairs, and tea and pastries appeared on the table.
"The elves of this castle are a must to make this kind of baumkuchen. Phoenix handed Hermione a small piece.
"I've considered your suggestions. I wonder if the situation has reached the point where it has to be," Phoenix took a sip from his teacup, "or does it need to be this way to prevent it from happening." β
"It's not so rotten. Without some tough measures, ministers fear that the situation will deteriorate further. One bearded wizard explained, "The Wizengamot was generally unhappy with our idea. β
"They think it causes panic. β
Phoenix didn't speak immediately, taking Hermione's hand, his thumb rubbing against her smooth, delicate skin.
"The limited relaxation of the rights of the Aurors is necessary, and you may think carefully about where the restrictions on the Aurors are too conservative. But the legitimacy of the Aurors' actions must be cautious, we are not dark wizards, we do things under the rules. Plan it out and write a report for Carlo and let him decide. β
The Death Eaters are undoubtedly the most arrogant of the Dark Wizards at the moment, and they are almost fearless. Driving many originally low-key dark wizards to follow the rampant, there must be change, but Phoenix feels that their decisive battle with Voldemort will not be too far away, so there is no need for countries to implement any long-term policies for this.
The bearded wizard glanced at Amonkie with a beaming expression.
"Thank you for your support, we take our leave. Amant knew it was time for them to go, "Have fun." (To be continued.) )
