Chapter 608: Wedding

"Ladies and gentlemen," Dumbledore's voice rang out on the stage as the newcomers were seated, and he was now standing on the high platform in front of the three couples, "We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of three pairs of loyal souls......

"That's right, my headdress makes Fleur more beautiful, but it's a pity that she's French. An old lady whispered far away, "And I must say that Ginny's skirt is too low." ”

"Who is this?" Ryan asked in a whisper, and Percy immediately poked his head out and said. "This is our Aunt Muriel, and the headdress on Fleur's head is borrowed from her, and it's a fairy jewelry. But seriously, sometimes our aunt takes care of too much, but we can't say anything considering she's 107 years old this year. ”

Ryan shrugged his shoulders and continued to listen to Dumbledore, only to hear him speak. "Today is such a happy day, and I believe that everyone does not want to listen to the babble of an old man like me. Now let's get straight to the point. ”

After saying that, he looked at Lupin and said, "Remus John Lupin, ...... would you like to marry Nemphadora?"

Ryan heard a small sobbing sound coming from the back row, which must have been the voice of the werewolf representatives. Then a trumpet sounded from behind the tent to drown out the sobs, and everyone knew that Hagrid had pulled out a handkerchief the size of his tablecloth. Hermione took Ryan's hand and turned to look at him, who saw the corners of her eyes sparkle at this point.

“...... I declare you partners for life. After five or six minutes, Professor Dumbledore had finally done all the testimonies for the three newcomers, and then drew his wand and waved it high above the heads of the three newcomers.

A large swath of silver stars erupted from the wand's head and landed on them, swirling around their bodies that were now clinging to each other. Fred and George led the applause, and the golden balloons overhead exploded: the bird of paradise and the little golden bell flew out of it and floated in the air, so that the noise of the audience was added to the sound of birds and bells.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" said Dumbledore, raising his tone at this time. "Please stand!"

Everyone stood up, and Dumbledore waved his wand again. All the seats rose lightly and gracefully into the air, the canvas of the marquee disappeared, and they stood under a canopy supported by golden pillars, looking out over the sun-drenched orchards and surrounding countryside.

Then a cloud of golden light slowly emerged from the ground in the center of the tent, and then a golden dance floor was formed. The chairs floating in mid-air automatically gathered around the small tables covered with white tablecloths, and floated back to the ground around the dance floor with light and grace, and the bands in golden shirts marched to the stage in unison.

"It's ingenious. Ryan sighed. Even though he had traveled through so many worlds before, he swore he had never seen a world where the magic could be applied so well in life.

Waiters came out from all directions, some carrying silver trays of pumpkin juice, butterbeer, and flaming whiskey, others carrying a large pile of crumbling pies and sandwiches.

Ryan and Hermione each grabbed a glass of butterbeer from a tray they passed by, then found a table in the corner and sat down. Soon the three couples stepped onto the dance floor and won everyone's applause. After a while, Mr. Weasley led Mrs. Delacour to the dance floor, followed by Mrs. Weasley and Fleur's father.

"I love this song. Luna popped out of nowhere, swaying gently to the rhythm of a waltz-like piece. After a few seconds, she stood up and glided lightly to the dance floor, where she spun alone in place, eyes closed and arms swinging.

Watch Luna dance there alone, arms dancing around her head, as if trying to chase away mosquitoes. Ryan suddenly wanted to dance for a while, so he dragged Hermione onto the dance floor.

After dancing two tunes, Ryan saw Dumbledore sitting at a table in the distance and waved at him, so he apologized to Hermione and walked over, while Hermione went off the dance floor with him and returned to the table.

"Good afternoon, Professor Dumbledore. Ryan said to Professor Dumbledore, who was sitting there with a small half glass of golden mead, smiling at the people dancing on the dance floor.

"Good afternoon, Ryan. Dumbledore responded, then looked at the joyous crowd on the dance floor and said, "That's all we have to defend, and every time I see them, I feel like it's worth it." ”

"That's true. Ryan nodded. "So sometimes we have to do something really bad, and there are some costs that we have to pay to protect this good thing. ”

Hearing Ryan directly say some things so bluntly, Dumbledore was also stunned for a moment, and then put down his wine glass and turned his head to look at him. "Kid, there are some things you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself. There are many things you can try to trust others. ”

"I know, Professor Dumbledore, I'll try to trust people as much as I can. Ryan nodded. Dumbledore could see that Ryan was insincere, but he didn't say anything more.

Ever since Ryan confronted Voldemort head-on a few days ago, Dumbledore has thoroughly regarded Ryan as a person who can communicate with him on an equal footing, so he has not taught him anything on this kind of issue that is not a matter of principle, as Ryan imagined.

"Okay, let's talk about something else. After a brief exchange between the two sides, Dumbledore simply changed the conversation to what he really wanted to say today. "I have received the letter you sent me earlier, and thanks to the help of Ms. Burns, the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Lucius Malfoy's release on bail has been completed, and I can go with you to Azkaban tomorrow to pick him up. ”

"Thank you!" Ryan sincerely thanked him, even his strength is not of much use when dealing with this kind of thing, the network in the wizarding world cannot be built in a day or two, and what Ryan lacks is time.

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture for an old man like me. Dumbledore said, raising his glass and taking a sip, then said, "But do you really think Lucius Malfoy will actually fall to us when he releases it?"

"Definitely. Ryan nodded. "To be precise, he can only fall to us, the mysterious man is not a benevolent leader. I don't believe he'll give the Malfoys another chance after the big event at the end of last semester. ”

"That's right, according to the information I received, the Malfoys are now on the same level as Igor Karkaroff in Voldemort's eyes, and with Tom's character since he was a child, it is impossible for him to admit that the failure of the attack on the castle at the end of last semester was due to his own reasons, so the Malfoy family responsible for the specific execution will naturally bear all the consequences of this failure, and the reason that the Malfoys are traitors in this case can indeed perfectly cover up Voldemort's mistake in the last semester. ”

At this point, Dumbledore changed his words. "As the man who sabotaged an important plot of Lord Voldemort last semester. You and Hermione are also Voldemort's priority targets now, so don't you really think about living in the Burrow for the rest of the summer?"

"Thanks, but I guess it's not necessary. Ryan said lightly, "As an alchemist, I still have confidence in my family's defenses, and you don't need to worry about this. ”

"Okay. Dumbledore didn't continue to persuade him, he also knew that an alchemist's home was not so easy to break through, and the fact that Ryan dared to say so proved that he was indeed fully prepared. "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, and then we'll take Lucius from Azkaban to Sirius Ancestral House. ”
