Chapter 1053: Turn around and leave
And there are so many wizards gathered in the hall, although Hermione has done a lot of homework to appease her parents before coming, but the Granger couple can not help but be secretly frightened when they see the decorations in the manor at this time, although they have learned about the status of the Harris family in the wizarding world from Hermione's mouth, but after experiencing it personally, it still makes them feel shocked and worried.
Coupled with the fact that there were too many wizards and magicians around, the Granger couple, who were unfamiliar with the wizarding world, couldn't help but feel a little anxious and uneasy, and the well-dressed wizards around them reminded them of the unpleasant incident they had seen with Lucius Malfoy in Diagon Alley when they were in Hermione's second year, and the haughty peacock-like wizard.
After all, Hermione's parents, even though they were taking the wizard's elixir, knew that they didn't know much magic at all, and were surrounded by wizards and strange and even terrifying things - unlike the usual wizards' weddings, there were many dead people who came to the wedding today.
The ghosts of Hogwarts were also invited to the wedding, and it was filled with dozens of milky, translucent figures, most of them wandering over the Great Hall, except for the fat friar and the almost headless Nick, happily shuttling up and down the benches that were already full of people and catching up with acquaintances.
The surrounding wizards were also happy to get up close and personal with the ghosts during the summer months and let them pass through them, especially the wizards who had just arrived - although the garden was also set up with a temperature control spell, it was obviously not as comfortable as fighting a few cold spirits directly with the help of the ghosts.
"Hermione, I seem to have seen the Weasleys sitting over there, where we areβ" asked Mrs. Granger, who was a little uncomfortable in the midst of a group of strange wizards, and suddenly she subconsciously looked up, and the question stopped abruptly, and she suddenly clenched Mr. Granger's arm to restrain her fear, and Mr. Granger looked up without fear, but still quietly stepped forward to let his wife fall behind him.
"Hello Hermione, it's a pleasure to meet you. The one who approached from above was a pearly white ghost in a wheeled tight-necked bodysuit, and he said cheerfully to Hermione, and then the other noticed that the eyes of the Granger couple next to Hermione widened, "Then these two distinguished gentlemen and ladies must be Miss Granger's parents, are you going to come to our basement to be stunned?"
The wizard in charge of the guidance saw that the guests seemed to have met an acquaintance, a familiar ghost, so he politely stepped back a few steps and waited.
"Hello, Nick... It's my parents... Well, they don't come to the wizarding world very often, so I think it's better to let them do some more routine activities..."Hermione turned sideways to introduce, feeling the fear of her parents, Hermione took her mother's hand and said to them, "This is the resident ghost of the Gryffindor Tower at Hogwarts, Sir Nicholas de Mimsci-Boltington, who is very nice and loves to help the new students just like the Fat Friars. β
Mr. Granger politely held out his hand, but quickly realized that the other man was a ghost and quickly bowed slightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Hermione Granger is so polite. Sir Nicholas said with emotion, "She stopped many times when students called me Nick, who was almost dead. β
"How could you almost lose your head?" said Mrs. Granger, who blushed in embarrassment as she realized her faux pas.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay... Becauseβ" Sir Nicholas cleared his throat, and then he bowed to the Grangers, causing his head to stagger off his neck and fall to his shoulders, with only a little skin and tendon attached to his neck, "so they all call me Nick the Almost Headless, but I prefer to hear them call me Sir Nicholas of Mimcy." β
Mrs. Granger, who was completely unprepared, instantly widened her eyes, noticing the other party's expression, Nick quickly flicked her head back to her neck again, "I'm sorry, I'm used to scaring you guys, I'm used to joking with students like this on weekdays... It was my negligence. β
"Sir Nicholas is genuine, he's very kind," Hermione clasped her mother's cold hand, "Ghosts are actually better than the average person, and Nick and I have always had a good relationship. β
"Hermione is also much more polite than the average lion cub, and I would very much like to invite you to my death party later..."Sir Nicholas nodded after holding his head with his hand, "It's not a good time to invite you directly today, Headmaster Harris has made us a few tables of feasts in the cellar, but none of your living food was made weeks ago, and it was put in without a freshness charm... And Peeves is inside, too..."
"The ghosts will be able to tell the smell of the smell this way..."Hermione turned to her parents to explain, and then she noticed the wizard of guidance waiting nearby, "Ah, sorry sir, sorry for the trouble, but we may have to delay a while, I think I'll be able to find a place for myself later, so, thank you for helping you to take care of yourself..." - Hermione didn't plan to take an evasive attitude in order to let her parents come to live in the wizarding world after they accepted it as soon as possible, she hoped that her parents would have more contact with these 'magic' to ease their anxiety caused by the unknown.
"Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger!" the crowd turned to see the dressed Morgan Lefay holding Owen's arm, and Alan slowly approaching them, and the Minister of Magic and his wife themselves came out to greet them, which caused a small commotion.
Sitting on the bench, Lunn was a little dismayed to find that several of his cousins had stopped teaching French and stood up, still craned their necks to look at his younger brother - and not because Alan was the headmaster or savior, or because Alan had just defeated the mystery man, but because, as Lunn had just learned from small talk, these cousins were avid Quidditch fans.
And just after the Harris family took the Granger family to the front position, Daisy took Tonks and Lupin's hand into the wedding hall, and then she found a squire to let him help guide her on her behalf and then retreated, and later, the newlyweds found their position next to Dumbledore and Weasley's house, and the Weasleys who had already sat in were waving to them, and Dumbledore, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, who was sitting next to Arthur, put down the snack in his hand that made Lupin feel too sweet, and smiled at them.
Tonks waved happily in response, and before entering, she subconsciously looked up to see that at least three hundred candles were lit on gold-encrusted silver candlesticks, and the hall was brightly lit. The lights reflected on Tonks, who had turned her hair into a light blonde today, brought out a bit of a dreamy feeling, making her skin appear fairer.
Looking at Tonks, who was looking at the wedding scene, Lupin subconsciously clenched his wife's hand: "I'm sorry Dora, I didn't give you a decent wedding..."
"Remus, I don't care if I have to repeat it for three years? I just thought about the Great Hall of Hogwarts just looking at the candles. Tonks reluctantly shook her husband's hand, then laughed and said, "Don't forget, Daisy just told us that we had a lot of oysters for today, and we'll have a big meal later... It just so happened that I ate a little less this morning..."
"Remus!" was interrupted by Sirius's voice, which suddenly sounded behind them, and the couple followed the sound to look behind them, only to see Sirius walking over with his godson Harry, who didn't seem to be used to dressing too formally, and he was awkwardly arranging his gown, looking a little uncomfortable.
"I thought you were going to come with Arthur and them. Lupin stared at his friend's meticulously tied neckline, a little amused by the other's rare and too serious dress, "So you didn't come here on a motorcycle today, otherwise you and Harry's hair wouldn't look as good as it does now..."
"Remus, you can keep an eye on Harry for me. Sirius nudged his godson in Lupin's direction, his gaze sweeping over Tonks, "I'll have to go over and say hello to Harris and ask something." β
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Lupin's response.
Tonks' eyes flashed, her fingers patted Lupin's body, and she said, "Remus, you, I'll go get some snacks and come back to fill my belly." β
After saying that, she didn't wait for Lupin's response to turn around and leave.
Lupin shrugged a little confused, and he put his hand on Harry, who seemed to be lost in thought, "Let's go, Harry, let's take our seats first." β
"Wait! Remus!" Ginny from the bench exclaimed, and Ron, who stood up, glanced at Harry, who was a little stunned, "Harry, let's go get something and come back for dinner." β
Just now, Ginny, who was sitting in her chair, had been keeping an eye on Harry's side, her eyes were a little sharp as Sirius and Tonks walked away, and she tugged at Ron's arm and stood up.
"Go, Harry, don't run out of the garden!" Lupin was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, he thought it was normal for young people to not be able to sit still, he had observed the scene with years of experience when he came in before, and there were enough guards to make him feel very comfortable with today's security.
Seeing this, Ginny, who had already walked out, immediately pulled Harry's arm beside her, Harry's eyes swept over Lupin, and found that the other party was relaxed, and was making way for Ron behind him to prepare to go in, as if he didn't suspect anything, Harry sighed, and when Ron came out, the three little lions looked at each other, and then almost lined up in a triangle and began to follow Tonks's footsteps to walk out and shuttle between the guests, with the help of these guests' cover, quickly followed her out of the auditorium.
After passing the corner of a hallway, Harry reluctantly saw that his godfather and Tonks had come together as Ginny had guessed, although the distance and the crowd around them made it difficult for them to hear what the two men were saying, but judging from their posture, the two looked very close and whispered something to me.
"I told you!" Ginny realized she was shouting too loudly, she stretched out her palm to cover her mouth and lowered her voice, "I found out that day they weren't normal... My guess was right... Don't they know how cruel it was to Remus by doing this..."
"Love makes people get diligent," Ron said as he shoved a piece of plum cake into his mouth at some point, "She's been a little bit of an anomaly lately, the six gods have no master, women," he said to Harry in a stint manner, "but it's easy to lose her breath." β
"But, Ron," Ginny gave Ron a blank look, "but I don't think any woman would sulk for half an hour for Lady Rosmerta for not laughing at the jokes of the witch, the healer, and Mibumibao, and need me to tell Lavender, did you try to strike up the landlady who had three broomsticks in the morning?"
Ron's eyes narrowed and he began to dodge again.
Harry leaned his head back and glanced down the hallway, disappointed to confirm that what he had just seen was correct, he was a little overwhelmed and even felt a little like sulking, "But... Well, I mean, we can't tell anybody about this yet... You know, Sirius and Lupin have a good relationship... We'd better not jump to conclusions this time... You have to figure it out. β
