There were so many wizards gathered in the hall. Even though Hermione had done a lot of homework to comfort her parents before coming here, the Granger couple still couldn't help but feel a little shocked when they saw the decorations in the manor. Even though they had heard from Hermione about the status of the Harris family in the magic world, they still couldn't help but feel shocked and worried after experiencing it for themselves.
Coupled with the fact that there were too many wizards and mages around them, the Granger couple, who were unfamiliar with the world of magic, couldn't help but feel anxious and uneasy. The well-dressed wizards around them reminded them of the unpleasant encounter they had with Lucius Malfoy in Diagon Alley during Hermione's second year of school, and the male wizard who was as arrogant as a peacock.
After all, even if Hermione's parents were taking the wizard's elixir of immortality, they knew very well that they did not know any magic at all. Moreover, they were surrounded by wizards and strange, even frightening things. Unlike the usual wizard weddings, there were quite a lot of dead people attending today's wedding.
The ghosts of the Hogwarts were also invited to attend the wedding. Dozens of milky white, translucent figures filled the hall. Most of them were wandering around the hall. Only the fat friar and the almost headless Nick were happily shuttling back and forth on the benches, catching up with acquaintances.
The wizards around them were also happy to be in close contact with the ghosts during the summer. They let them pass through them, especially those who had just arrived. Although the garden was also equipped with temperature-control spells, it was obviously not as comfortable as directly shivering with the help of the ghosts.
"Hermione, I think I saw the Weasley family sitting over there. Our seats are …" Mrs. Granger, who was feeling uneasy in the midst of a group of unfamiliar wizards, asked. Suddenly, she subconsciously raised her head and her question came to an abrupt halt. She suddenly grabbed Mr. Granger's arm to suppress her fear. Mr. Granger raised his head and looked. He did not show any fear, but he still took a step forward and let his wife stand behind him.
"Hello, Hermione. It's so nice to meet you." The one who took the initiative to approach them was a white ghost wearing a wrinkled collar tights. He said to Hermione happily. Then, he noticed that the Granger couple beside Hermione widened their eyes. "So these two honorable gentlemen and ladies must be Miss Granger's parents? Do you want to come to our basement later? "
The wizard in charge of guiding the guests saw that they seemed to have met someone familiar — a ghost, so he politely took a few steps back and waited by the side.
"Hello, Nick … These are my parents … Erm, they rarely come to the magic world. I think it's better to let them do some more routine activities …" Hermione turned sideways and introduced them. Feeling the fear of her parents, Hermione held her mother's hand and said to them, "This is the resident ghost of our Hogwarts Gryffindor Tower — Sir Nicholas de Mincy Poppington. He's a very nice person. Like the fat friar, he loves to help the new students."
Mr. Granger politely reached out his hand, but quickly changed it to a slight bow when he realized that the other party was a ghost.
"It's nice to meet you. Miss Hermione Granger is always so polite," Sir Nicholas said with emotion. Sir Nicholas sighed. "She has stopped many students from calling me Nick, who almost lost his head."
"What do you mean by almost lost your head?" Mrs. Granger blurted out. Then, she realized her rudeness and blushed awkwardly.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay … In fact, it's because …" Sir Nicholas cleared his throat and bowed to the Granger couple. This made his head wobble and slide off his neck and onto his shoulder. Only a little bit of skin and tendons were connected to his neck. "So they all call me Nick who almost lost his head. But I prefer to hear them call me Sir Nicholas of Mincy."
Mrs. Granger, who was completely unprepared, widened her eyes in an instant. Noticing her expression, Nick quickly bounced his head back onto his neck. "I'm sorry for scaring you. I'm used to joking with the students … It's my negligence."
"Sir Nicholas is a sincere person. He's very kind." Hermione held her mother's cold hand tightly. "Ghosts are actually easier to get along with than ordinary people. Nick and I have always had a good relationship."
"Hermione is also much more polite than the ordinary little lions. I really hope that I can invite all of you to attend my death anniversary party later …" Sir Nicholas held his head with his hand and nodded. "It's not appropriate to invite all of you directly today. Headmaster Harris has prepared a few banquets for us in the cellar, but there's no food for all of you. The food for the living has been prepared a few weeks ago and was put in without casting any preservation spell … Also, Naughty Ghost is also inside …"
"Ghosts can only distinguish the smell this way …" Hermione turned her head and explained to her parents. Then, she noticed the wizard guide who was waiting by the side. "Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you, sir. But we may have to delay for a while. I think I can find the place by myself later, so thank you for your help. You can do as you please …" In order to let her parents accept coming to live in the wizard world as soon as possible, Hermione did not intend to adopt an evasive attitude. She hoped to let her parents have more contact with these 'magic' so that they could ease the uneasiness caused by the unknown.
"Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger!" Everyone turned their heads and saw the well-dressed Morgan-le-Feil holding Owen's arm while Allen slowly approached them. The Minister and his wife of the Ministry of Magic personally came out to greet them, which caused a small commotion.
Sitting on the bench, Lunn was a little dismayed to find that his Seductress cousins had also stopped teaching French and stood up, stretching their necks to look at his brother. It was not because Allen was a headmaster or a savior, nor was it because Allen had just defeated the Mystery Man. It was because, just like what Lunn had learned from the gossip, these Seductress cousins were fanatical Quidditch fans.
Just as the Harris family led the Granger family to the front seats, Daisy led the Tonks into the wedding hall while holding Lupin's arm. She then found an attendant to guide them on her behalf before leaving. After a while, the newlyweds found their seats beside Dumbledore and the Weasley family. The Weasley family, who had already sat down, was waving at them. The leader of Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore, who was sitting next to Arthur, put down the dessert in his hand that Lupin thought looked too sweet and smiled at them.
The Tonks waved cheerfully in response. Before entering, she subconsciously looked up and sized up the hall. It seemed that there were at least 300 candles lit on silver candlesticks inlaid with gold. The hall was brightly lit. The light reflected on the Tonks, who had purposely dyed her hair a light blonde today. It brought out a dreamy feeling and made her skin look even fairer.
Looking at the Tonks, who were lost in thought, Lupin subconsciously tightened his grip on his wife's hand. "I'm sorry, Dora, I didn't give you a proper wedding …"
"Remus, do I have to repeat that I don't care for the next three years? I'm just looking at those candles and thinking of the Hogwarts Hall. " The Tonks helplessly shook her husband's hand and laughed. "Don't forget, Daisy just told us that she prepared a lot of oysters today. Let's go have a big meal later … I just ate a little too little this morning …"
"Remus!" They were suddenly interrupted by Sirius's voice from behind. The couple followed the voice and saw Sirius walking over with his godson, Harry. Harry seemed to be not used to dressing too formally. He was awkwardly adjusting his robe and looked a little uncomfortable.
"I thought you guys would come with Arthur and the rest." Lupin stared at his friend's meticulously tied collar. He was a little amused by his friend's rare formal attire. "So you guys didn't come here on a motorcycle today? Otherwise, you and Harry's hair wouldn't look so tame like it is now … "
"Remus, help me look after Harry." Sirius nudged his godson towards Lupin. He glanced at the Tonks. "I have to go over and say hello to Harris. I have something to ask him."
With that, he turned around and left without waiting for Lupin's response.
The Tonks' eyes flashed. She patted Lupin and said, "Remus, you. I'll go get some snacks to fill our stomachs."
With that, she turned around and left without waiting for Lupin's response.
Lupin shrugged in confusion. He put his hand on Harry, who seemed to be deep in thought. "Let's go, Harry. Let's take a seat first."
"Wait! Remus! " Jenny, who had stood up from the bench, called out crisply. At the same time, Ron, who had also stood up, gave Harry a look. "Harry, let's go get something to eat too."
Just now, Jenny, who had been sitting on the bench, had been paying attention to Harry's situation. She watched Sirius and the Tonks walk away with a sharp gaze, then tugged at Ron's arm and stood up.
"Go, Harry. Remember not to run out of the garden!" Lupin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He thought that it was normal for young people to be unable to sit still. When he came in earlier, he had observed the scene with his years of experience. There were enough guards of all kinds, so he was very confident in today's security.
Jenny, who had already walked out, immediately tugged at Harry's arm. Harry glanced at Lupin, only to see that the other party was relaxed and was about to make way for Ron, who was behind him. He didn't seem to suspect anything. Harry sighed. After Ron came out, the three little lions looked at each other and then followed the Tonks out in almost a triangle. They shuttled among the guests and quickly followed her out of the auditorium under the cover of the guests.
After turning a corner in a corridor, Harry reluctantly saw that his godfather and the Tonks were indeed together as Jenny had guessed. Although they couldn't hear what the two of them were saying due to the distance and the flow of people around them, judging from their postures, they seemed very intimate and whispered something to each other.
"I've told you!" Jenny realized that she had shouted too loudly after she finished speaking. She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and lowered her voice. "I found that they were abnormal that day … My guess was right … Don't they know how cruel this is to Remus …?"
"Love makes people dizzy …" Ron said as he stuffed a piece of plum cake that he had grabbed at some point into his mouth. "She's been a little abnormal recently. She's out of her mind. Women," he said to Harry seriously. "It's easy for them to lose their cool."
"But, Ron …" Jenny immediately rolled her eyes at Ron when she heard that. "But I don't think any woman would sulk for half an hour because Mrs. Rosmerta didn't laugh after hearing the joke about the witch, the healer, and Millie. Do you need me to tell Lavender that you tried to hit on the lady boss of Three Brooms this morning?"
Ron's eyes, which had just widened, began to dodge again.
Harry didn't give up and glanced at the corridor again. He was disappointed to confirm that what he had just seen was true. He was a little overwhelmed and even felt like sulking. "But … Uh, I mean, we can't tell anyone about this for now … You know how close Sirius and Lupin are … We'd better not jump to conclusions this time … We have to figure it out first."
