Chapter 81: The Engagement Ceremony (I)
"Ron, stop playing tricks, go and help Charlie put the flowers over there! Fred ......"
"I'm not Fred, I'm George!"
"Come less, I see you with a scarf!"
"Mom, you're bored like this!"
In the courtyard of Lupin Manor, Mrs. Weasley is directing several disobedient sons to set up the scene of the engagement ceremony.
Daphne, as Lupin's boss, can sit with Erlang's legs crossed and watch the excitement at this time. There were quite a few people here today, and since both husband and wife were members of the Order of the Phoenix, almost all the members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived. At least there was only one Moody that Daphany knew.
Daphine didn't know if the White Wizard had found something, so she didn't let Moody come over, or if Barty Jr. didn't come with her because she was worried about revealing her stuffing. In short, it didn't arrive. As for the others, almost all of them have arrived, and of course, there aren't many people in the Order of the Phoenix at the moment.
Dumbledore appeared as Lupin's elder and witness. He was smiling so much today!
There were also many guests from all walks of life, including the number of friends and grandchildren of Lupin's father's generation. Although he didn't have many relatives and friends, he knew too many people since he became the correspondent of the Potions Factory. Although they all know that Lupin is just a talker, there are still a lot of people who want to have a good relationship with him. This is quite a few people again.
Compared to Lupin, Tonks has more friends, plus her parents' friends, and a large group of huhula lala. According to Ron's indefinite information, Tonks' parents were originally unhappy with Lupin. However, in a later conversation, he learned that Lupin was actually the person in charge of the Potions Factory, and he was immediately very satisfied.
Ron looked disgusted when he talked about it, but Daphany thought it was normal. There are very few parents who don't want their children to be good - after all, there are a few people like her own mother! As a werewolf, it is normal for Lupin not to be treated by his mother-in-law and father-in-law in England. After all, most werewolves come with poverty.
Knowing that Lupin's financial income can allow his daughter to live a very solid life, and Lupin is now a werewolf who can control himself, it is natural that his attitude has changed.
At least in Daphany's eyes, neither Ted Tonks nor Andoda Black are very snobbish figures.
As the protagonist of today, Lupin is surrounded by a lot of people! Sirius couldn't help in a hurry, as most of them were business representatives from cities, enchanted villages, or other institutions in England and throughout Europe. They were all here for the identity of the Potions Factory storyteller, and the topic Blake couldn't talk about at all.
Daphine watched all of this with interest, not in the slightest sense of helping.
"There are so many people!" A very beautiful voice rang in my ears.
"Yes, the bride and groom have many friends." Daphany casually glanced back at the person who was speaking, and replied casually.
After a few moments, Daphany suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned her head suddenly.
Beside her, there was a big beauty with blonde hair. Seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and well-proportioned, with a perfect appearance.
"You...... Why are you here? Daphany looked at the people around her a little confused.
"The family sent me, after all, the family usually cooperates with Mr. Lupin!" The blonde beauty said as a matter of course. That's right, the person who came was Audreyna Hilliex. Of course, she came on behalf of the Hilliax family.
Although France does not discriminate against werewolves (to be exact, wolf slaves), if it is just an ordinary werewolf wedding, it is impossible for Audreyna, who is a descendant, to come in person, even if it is a partner.
However, the potions factory behind Lupin and the company is now one of the most important partners of the Heliex family in the entire wizarding world, and Audreyna happened to be in England at this time, and took the initiative to ask for help, so she came here.
"Well, the daughter of the Helyax family is here in person, and Remus's face is bigger!" Daphne chuckled.
Audreyna's appearance also attracted a lot of people's attention, and more than a quarter of the guests who came today were from the identity of the Lupin Potions Factory, so they were naturally in the potions business. And in the potions business, there is no one in Europe who does not look up to the Cylyax family. However, Audreyna was a girl, and those people felt that it was inconvenient to come forward and talk to them, so they could only politely signal and continue to look for Lupin.
Audreyna listened to Daphine's words and smiled softly.
Daphany was about to say something, when suddenly she saw another unsightly figure in the crowd. Well, another big beauty, only this time with silver hair.
"No, Miss Cilliux has nothing to say when she comes, why did she bring her sister?" Daphne pointed to Fleur, who was helping to set up the dishes in the distance, with an embarrassed expression: "I have to talk about Remus, how can I let a distinguished guest do such a thing." 139 Reading Network
"Don't get me wrong, Delacour didn't come with me!" Audreyna smiled, "She was invited by another 'friend' to come over. That friend of hers was helping, and of course she couldn't be idle! ”
When Audreyna said the word friend, she accentuated her tone.
Daphany was stunned when she heard this, and looked in the direction of Fleur again, and sure enough, she noticed that there was another person next to Fleur. Well, Fleur is so eye-catching that it's hard for people who see her to notice the people around her anymore. Even a beauty like Audreyna is no exception, not to mention that at this time she is just a handsome guy by her side.
Yes, Fleur is next to Bill, and the two are talking and laughing while they work. Judging from their expressions, both of them were very happy.
Bill didn't wear that rock 'n' roll dress today, and changed into a traditional British dress, which showed off his figure! I didn't have the messy accessories on my body, and I had long hair and a simple high ponytail, which was so handsome.
"There is adultery!" Daphany affirmed. Audreyna nodded, giving an affirmative answer. Then the two looked at each other and laughed.
"What are the two young ladies laughing at?" A gentle voice came.
The two turned around, but it was Dumbledore who had rarely changed into clean clothes. Dumbledore wasn't as raunchy as Snape, but he wasn't much clean. There are often things on the clothes and beards. Usually the residue of a sweet tooth.
However, he probably knew that today was more important, so Dumbledore changed into a clean gown, and kept his beard and hair very neat and tidy.
"Good day, Headmaster!"
"Good day, Lord Dumbledore!"
Daphany and Audreyna hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Good day, two young ladies!" Dumbledore smiled slightly—he had a big beard, so the smile wasn't easy to see, only from the slightly narrowed eyes behind his crescent-shaped glasses.
"Oh, Miss Cilliux, I suddenly want a piece of strawberry cake, I wonder if you can help me, an old man with a bad leg, to get one?" Dumbledore looked at Heliexes and said with a smile.
I believe you are a ghost, your legs and feet are inconvenient? When my legs and feet are inconvenient, you can still run faster than my grandson! Audreyna secretly slandered in her heart, but she also knew that Dumbledore had something to say to Daphany. Immediately smiled and nodded: "Very happy!" This is what young people should do! Lord Dumbledore: Wait. As he spoke, he turned and walked in the direction of the cold food station.
Dumbledore looked at her departing back and whispered but clearly, "I have a feeling that outsiders have infiltrated Hogwarts!" Almost as he spoke, Daphany felt the sensory enchantment open silently. The White Wizard's magical manipulation ability was more subtle and concealed than that of Dimasgu at the Pig's Head Bar that day, and there was not even any sign of it.
However, in Daphany's opinion, this is the normal operation of the white wizard, and it will not surprise her, but that sentence made Daphany startled, and secretly said in her heart, sure enough, did the white wizard also notice little Barty?
Although she thought so in her heart, Daphany also showed a moderate amount of surprise on her face: "Huh? No, Hogwarts enchantments ......"
Dumbledore waved his hand: "There is nothing unusual about the castle's barrier, it is not an illegal invasion. But that's how I feel, and I hope it's not the hysteria of an old madman! ”
"Professor, don't be kidding, your feelings can't be wrong!" Daphany feigned nervousness: "Who could it be?" ”
"I don't know, I just sensed that there seems to be evil in the castle! But I don't know who the evil I feel is! Dumbledore shook his head slowly: "This semester because of the tournament, there are too many people coming and going. It's not completely impossible if someone gets in. ”
Dafanie looked at Dumbledore, wondering if he really only had feelings, or if he was just trying to remind himself. The White Wizard could no longer see through her spirit, but it was also impossible for her to peer into the White Wizard's mind.
"Then again, Daphany seems to have made a lot of progress lately! It seems to be a lot better than when I was in the fourth project! Dumbledore didn't continue the conversation for some reason. Instead, it was Daphany.
Daphine raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of smugness. In just three weeks, her magic has increased by nearly fifty percent! At this time, she was confident that even Snape was no match for her in terms of magic alone. Going head-to-head, she's 70% sure she can beat Snape! Even Professor McGonagall, Daphany felt she had a fifty percent chance of winning. Many spells that were originally limited to magic and could not be easily manipulated can now be easily controlled. It can be said that in Hogwarts now, in addition to the White Wizard, even Professor Flitwick, Daphany feels that she has the strength to fight, and she is not completely without a chance of winning!
It's thanks to the magic elixir!
"I've experienced the thrill of growing magic, and I can totally understand that wonderful feeling...... Dumbledore said slowly, "but I hope Lestranzi doesn't indulge in it!" ”
Daphany was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed suddenly.
