Chapter 1057: The Difference Between Surprise and Fright
"Mary Olson, will you make this man your husband and enter into marriage with him? Whether it's pain or curse, or any other reason...... They all love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and remain loyal to him until the end of their lives? β
"I do!"
"Fred Weasley, would you like ......?"
During the host's questioning, Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Olson couldn't help but take out their handkerchiefs and wipe away their tears, and the two fathers who accompanied their children to take the oath on both sides couldn't help but have red eyes.
Of course, as a guest today, Hagrid's commotion was a bit otherworldly. He sat at the back, blowing his nose with the tablecloth-like handkerchief, which sounded like the horn of a Muggle driver in a traffic jam.
When Hagrid's blowing snort had stopped for a while, the host, who had asked Ashley and George the same questions, finally said:
"Then, under Merlin's watchful eye, I announce that today's two couples are now married for life!"
With that, the two wizards from the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, who were waiting on the side, suddenly waved their wands.
The next moment, a large number of silver stars fell on the heads of Fred and Mary, George and Ashley, along with two golden threads, and swirled around the two couples for weeks.
It is a magic that has been passed down with marriage ceremonies since ancient times, and although it is not binding, it has the effect of further deepening the bond between husband and wife.
Of course, modern wizards only think of it as a rather ritualistic legend - after all, no one knows if it actually has any effect.
But at that moment, Maca, who was watching this scene by the carpet, could sense that the magic between the two pairs of groom and bride seemed to really tremble.
"Huh?"
Luna lifted the hem of her dress and took a curious step forward, only to be pulled back by Hermione.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, like...... Well, I don't know. β
Not to mention what this inexplicable feeling meant, but the feeling of seeing Fred and George hugging each other with their new wives is something that everyone can feel.
In the next second, the balloons above their heads burst in unison, spraying countless silver petals, birds of paradise, and small golden bells, flying freely in midair.
The guests at the wedding scene, led by Bill, Charlie, and Ginny, applauded vigorously, and the scene was lively for a while.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The host also used the sound reinforcement spell at this time, but he was heard shouting, "Please stand now!" β
Before he could finish speaking, the big guys all stood up, and the wizards of Fort Blois who came to help next to them waved their wands and removed all the chairs under the guests.
Immediately after, everyone saw that the long carpet that had been originally red suddenly started from the door of the Burrow, and turned into gold with a silver light towards the wedding tent.
When they saw the band start playing dance music and walking briskly into the tent, everyone knew that the wedding ball was about to begin.
After the band entered, the first to follow into the tent were sisters Fred, George and Olson. But at this moment, the twin brothers glanced in the direction of Maca, as if they were all casually notching.
Seeing this, Maca also chuckled and nodded at them.
"Don't be afraid, leave it to me, you just have to enjoy the dance!" Fred said to Mary.
"yes!" George next to him also whispered to Ashley by hugging, "Don't worry! We've been practicing for this dance for a long time! β
With that, they each took the bride's hand and walked to the tent with their heads held high.
Luna and Hermione, who were closest to the bride and groom, seemed to have heard something, but the former wondered:
"What did they just say?"
Hermione shook her head, indicating that she hadn't heard clearly.
"All I know is that there seems to be a bad premonition!"
As for Neville and Percy, the best men who were standing a little farther away, they didn't hear Fred and George at all. Right now, Neville is convincing Percy to go and rest in the chair next to him!
You know, he just got up from the bed he had been lying in for a few years today, and being able to walk normally was a blessing thanks to Maca's recovery potion.
Seeing that the bride and groom had already entered the tent, the guests who were still standing on both sides of the golden carpet invited their dance partners to walk along the long carpet to the entrance of the tent.
But it was at this moment that Maca suddenly shook her finger at the carpet, causing the entire carpet to spread out on the field like melted gold.
Just as the guests were startled, they suddenly saw two broomsticks flying out of the Burrow's upper floor and whizzing into the tent.
Immediately, Fred and Mary, George and Ashley, the two couples, took advantage of the fact that the guests had not had time to enter, and they both stepped on their brooms and sprang out of the room, flying in circles and spirals.
Maka below saw them flying out, and with a wave of her hand, the silver petals and golden bells floating around her rose into the sky, chasing after the private person who was dancing on a broomstick and began to whirl.
Two couples, a string of bells, and a dance in the air - this wedding is not unique, but at least it is worth cheering about.
"Oh! I thought the two of them would finally be sensible this time! β
Seeing Mrs. Weasley leaning her neck and muttering under her breath, Marca was about to go over and persuade her a few more wordsβat any rate, it was his idea.
But before he could get over, he saw Percy, who was sitting not far away, but he was one step ahead of him, to his mother's side.
"Mom, at least Fred and George are much more sensible than I am...... So don't blame them too much for this little thing! β
"Looks like I don't need to say more......"
When Maca saw it, she immediately smiled softly and walked away consciously.
In a short time, he sat down at some of the tables and chairs placed nearby, holding a glass of butterbeer that had just been taken from the waiter's tray, and enjoying the sun-drenched aerial dance as he drank it.
It can be seen that many of the guests on the ground did not go to the tent anymore, but slid their brisk dance steps on the golden "dance floor" that he had just spread out with his magic.
Obviously, this is what Maca had done at Hogwarts the other day, when Maca whispered to Fred and George. Compared with the blind tossing and turning of the pair of living treasures in the past, such "accidents" will naturally be more popular.
In fact, Maca just wanted to tell them that the two were just confusing the concepts of "surprise" and "fright", wasn't they?
"I wish you a happy wedding!"
Makara raised her glass slightly, smiling and blessing.
β¦β¦
While Maca was alone in the butterbeer, Hermione and Luna were staring at each other on the other side of the "makeshift dance floor."
"Hermione, do you want to dance?" Luna smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Maca is just across the street β and voila! He just happens to be alone! β
"'Oh! All right! ββ¦β¦ Do you think I'll answer like that? Hermione pursed her lips and said, "Forget it!" At least I wouldn't have done that before Quidditch. β
"Really?" Luna tilted her head, not knowing what she was thinking, before she said, "Then I'm going to dance with my father?" β
With that, Hermione saw her running to the side, looking for her father, Xenophilius.
"Oh!" Hermione couldn't help but stomp her foot, "I would have agreed if I had known!" Isn't it just a dance...... She wouldn't care about that anyway. β
Muttering this, she turned around and walked over to Ron and Ginny, who were sitting near the tent.
ββ¦β¦ Ron, why don't you go find a girl to dance with? I just didn't make it to Harry, but I don't need you to accompany me!" Go away, it's such a shame to be with your brother at this time! β
As soon as Hermione got closer, she heard Ginny trying to get Ron away, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, Hermione! What to laugh at! Ron said annoyedly, "It's not like I don't want to dance with pretty girls!" Just now I saw the youngest daughter of the director of the Department of Physical Education, and she smiled beautifully. β
"Then why not try it?" Ginny immediately glared at him, "It's because you didn't dare to go, so you're still alone until now!" β
When Ron heard this, he shook his head with difficulty, and then said with a bitter face:
"Do you think I wouldn't dare...... Oh well! I really don't dare. You see, now when I see a ball, I immediately think of the Troyer women's clothes...... Seriously, if you see a girl dressed as a man and still look exceptionally handsome, you will also have a psychological shadow. β
"Will it?"
Ginny glanced at Hermione, who had just come closer, and then she reached out and hooked Hermione's arm.
"Let's go! Hermione, come with me for a dance! β
"Huh?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded happily, "Okay! β
Watching his sister and Hermione slip onto the dance floor together, Ron flattened his mouth helplessly, and the expression on his face became more and more bitter.
However, at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Maca's side again. He saw Lupin walking towards where Maca was sitting, and leaned down to say something.
Soon, after listening to Lupin's whisper, Maca's face seemed to change slightly.
Ron turned his head to look at Hermione and Ginny again, as if he hesitated, but after a while, he shook his head and walked briskly in the direction of Maka.
Since the dance is definitely not possible, it is better to do something meaningful-Ron thought to himself at this time.
