"Tonks is so pathetic. Hermione said on the bus. "You know what? Lupin has been avoiding her lately. She explicitly hinted so many times that there was no response at all. ”

Thinking about herself, Hermione had a lot of sympathy for Tonks's plight. Ryan could only defend Lupin: "You must know that Lupin is old, but Tonks is still young. The most important thing is that Lupin is a werewolf, and he feels that his love will bring all kinds of trouble to the woman. ”

"Ugh—" Hermione sighed. "Reason is good, but Tonks is not a spur of the moment. I talked to her and found that she was very thorough in this regard. Lupin is a bit like you in this regard, and in a way he does want others to be better. But they are too arbitrary, and never consider the inner hopes of others. ”

"Am I not changing?" Ryan naturally knew what to do, and it was definitely stupid to talk back at this time. "And now that Lupin has found a job, his attitude has softened a lot more than before, and I think he'll finally say yes to Tonks. Don't you see that Tonks is not in a bad spirit, and her hair is a symbol of happy pink just now. ”

"I hope that's how it looks. Hermione smiled.

There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, so it had been more than an hour when the two of them arrived at Granger's house. After opening the door, Ryan found his parents and Mr. and Mrs. Granger sitting in the dining room drinking tea. And judging by their expressions, they should have communicated very well before.

Then came Ryan's time of criticism, with the four parents unanimously criticizing him for getting started too early and tricking Hermione out of her at such a young age. In fact, they saw the relationship between Ryan and Hermione last summer, and they have no opinion on this relationship, believing that the two of them can handle these problems. But what they didn't expect was that Ryan proposed so early, and they thought it would be a few more years.

Today's incident is the most indicative of the inequality between men and women, and for the next nearly half an hour, only Ryan was being nagged by both parents, while Hermione watched Ryan with interest with rare embarrassment.

In the end, after repeatedly confirming that Ryan and Hermione were serious about their engagement and made a deliberate decision, they agreed to their plan to get engaged in the summer and get married as soon as they graduated.

Naturally, Ryan also promised in front of the Granger couple that he would always be good to Hermione. It seems that the Granger couple are quite satisfied with Ryan's attitude.

Then there are some details of the rules, because Ryan and Hermione both went to a magic school, and a lot of things are not suitable for outsiders to know. So the families decided to simply hold a small private engagement ceremony when they went to live in the Celestial Empire for a month during this summer vacation, and by the way, they could also travel to a foreign country.

After discussing a series of details about these, after returning to his home, Mr. Lambert asked Lane: "By the way, it costs money when you get married, although traditionally the wedding is all paid for by the woman, but I think you still need to prepare a house." Of course, if you don't have enough money, we can give you the money we have saved for you by the Housing Mutual Aid Association, and by the way, we can give you some support. ”

"Dad, I really need your favor here, but I don't need your money. Ryan said, glancing at his parents, who were sitting across the table. "I've learned from wizards that I'm not short of money, but it needs to be exchanged before I can buy anything else. ”

As he spoke, in the stunned eyes of his parents, Ryan took out several gold nuggets from his space pocket. "I have a lot of gold, but the problem is that if you want to buy a house here, you can't buy it with gold. ”

"Are you so rich as wizards?" said her mother, Lady Sally, as she picked up a gold ingot, flipped it in her hand, and then looked at it carefully in front of her eyes. At the same time in a tone of disbelief.

"Of course not, it's just that I learned about alchemy by chance. With that, Ryan stretched out a finger and tapped the tin-made candlestick on the table. After a series of reddish runes, the gray candlestick suddenly turned silver.

"This is—silver!" said his father, Mr. Lambert, in astonishment, after examining it, "is it Nicholas??" Flammel, is the legend true? Can anyone really turn these base metals into gold and silver?"

"Rarely, but not none. Ryan puffed up his chest and said, "I'm very proud that I'm one of them." And the greatest alchemist before Nicholas?? Flamel and his wife died only two years ago, living to be more than 600 years old. ”

"My son is really the best. Mr. Lambert seemed amused, but he continued. "But it's horrible, for a human to live that long!"

Ryan didn't expect Mr. Lambert to make a strange answer when he heard the news. After noticing that his son was looking at him strangely, Mr. Lambert said very freely: "Your mother and I once said that the happiest thing in this life is to live well and grow old with the people you love, and then you can die naturally without getting sick." It's not a very good thing to live too long. ”

At this point, Mr. Lambert seemed to come to his senses and said, "Of course, it's too early to say this at your age, but you will come to understand it slowly." ”

At last, Mr. Lambert put away the gold and said that he had enough means to exchange the things for pounds, and that Lane would only have to tell him where he wanted to buy the house.

In short, today's events are over. Ryan feels very fortunate to have been reasonable enough to meet his parents, both his own parents and the Grangers.

After a day at home, the two families are ready to go on vacation to the Celestial Empire as planned. Ryan and Hermione also had great hopes for a trip away from the oppressive atmosphere of the British wizarding world. In particular, the magical world of the Celestial Empire seems to be in a fog for British wizards, which makes people have great expectations.

However, before leaving home, his father, Mr. Lambert, solemnly told Ryan that his father, Ryan's grandfather, was a member of a traditional magical family in the Celestial Empire that did not know magic. He declined his family's sponsorship and went straight to study abroad. After graduation, he stayed in the UK to marry and have children. This time, when Mr. Lambert went to visit his father in the Celestial Empire, he told him that Ryan was a wizard, and when he heard the news, he asked Mr. Lambert to tell Ryan that he could go back to his hometown if he was free.

From his grandfather's words, Ryan knew that the wizarding world of the Celestial Empire had a much better attitude towards Squibs than the English wizards. At the same time, he is also very interested in the magic of the Celestial Empire in this world, and it seems that this holiday trip is worth looking forward to.

Especially when Ryan remembered that when he went to Brazil as an exchange student in the second grade, Zhang Qiu once said that she had seen Ryan's grandfather, and also mentioned that Ryan's grandfather was not surprised to see Zhang Qiu's magic when he was a child and floated up a glass after his magic went out of control. Now that explains why.

"I really want to go to the Celestial Empire to have a look!" Ryan thought as he drove to Heathrow Airport. He also wanted to see his grandparents earlier. They treated Ryan very well when he was a child, and now that Ryan is capable, he naturally wants to check the health of the two old people so that they can have a healthy old age.
