"Okay, no problem!" At first, Lupin did not really realize what he had heard. When he realized it, he began to suspect that he had misheard the mission requirements. "Oh, I'm sorry, Allen. I might have been distracted. What did you say just now?"
"Dolores Umrich." Allen patted Lupin's shoulder. "I'm going to betroth Dolores Umrich to you."
Lemus Lupin felt as if he had been struck by the lightning bolts cast by Grindelwald three times in a row. Thinking of Umbridge's pink toad-like face, pretentious look, and sweet voice, the tea that he just drank seemed to be rolling in his throat. He would rather face the mysterious man face to face than face with such a person day and night. Lupin's lips began to tremble, as if his lips were about to crack open in an instant, just like what those East Asian Muggle doctors in Soho Chinatown in London's Westminster Borough would say.
"I know it's hard for you. Although you have more hair and wrinkles than your actual age, she is much older than you. However, Dolores Umrich introduced the famous' Anti-Werewolf Act 'in 1993. She has expressed her hatred and disgust for werewolves in public and in the media many times. Now that she's willing to marry a werewolf like you, this will definitely have an extraordinary meaning in the world of adepts. Even the female adepts who hated werewolves the most changed their attitude and chose to marry a werewolf after a 'deep' interaction with you. Doesn't this mean that ordinary adepts are biased against werewolves? I think this will make more people curious about you. When the time comes, I will let Harris TV station, the Daily Prophet, and 'Let's Say' broadcast scientific knowledge about werewolves one after another. " Allen loudly and excitedly described the benefits of marrying Umrich as if he was giving a speech. He then poured another cup of tea for Lupin who was completely stunned.
Lupin was stunned for a moment. He suddenly looked up and stared into Allen's eyes. "Why would Umrich be willing?" Lupin's hand tightly grasped the edge of the chair he was sitting on as if he was grasping at the last straw. "I heard that she used the Unforgivable Curse on you. Shouldn't she be in prison for the rest of her life?"
"Indeed, so she is willing to marry a werewolf. This way, instead of being locked up in prison for the rest of her life, she can atone for her sins. I think this way is more beneficial than locking her up in prison for the rest of her life. Just like this time when you want to marry her. Trust me, she will say yes. " Allen raised his little finger and pinched the rim of the teacup like an Englishman. He took a sip of the tea and looked at Lupin with a smile on his face. He suddenly leaned back on the chair as if he had lost all his strength.
The werewolves on the other side of the one-way mirror laughed out loud when they saw the usually mature and gentlemanly Remus's desperate expression. They all understood that Allen was using Umrich and Remus as a joke to make fun of him.
"Remus can accept it without sacrificing his life."
"Umrich is willing to marry a werewolf. Remus, only you can make her surrender."
"Hurry up and agree. Let Umrich harm only you, the werewolf, in the future. Don't think about the other werewolves anymore."
But after the mockery, the werewolves suddenly fell silent for a moment. Thinking of how they and Umrich looked at the wedding, they could not help but shrink back. If they could save the image of the werewolves in the hearts of the wizards, they would be willing to give up their lives. But if the price was to marry Umrich, it was much harder than giving up their lives.
When the Tonks heard Allen's request, she jumped up from the sofa. Daisy tugged at her clothes. The maiden spun her wand and sat cross-legged on the sofa again, admiring the change in expression of Lupin. She was even happier than Daisy next to her. After that, she was stunned, and the hair on her heart-shaped face turned red. She shouted, "Wait! He just agreed to marry Umrich, but he doesn't even want to see me! "
Emily, who was just smiling politely, held the camera to Lupin's one-way mirror. She narrowed one eye and focused on the lens with the other eye, capturing every subtle expression of Lupin's frown, panic, and despair. At first, she just wanted to fulfill Luna's request. But now, she began to understand Luna's persistence. She began to immerse herself in this request and kept pressing the shutter.
Lupin collapsed on the sofa with his hand on his forehead and his eyes closed. He looked even more miserable now than when his identity as a werewolf was first discovered.
Allen put down his teacup and leaned back on the sofa. He crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "Professor Lupin, what's wrong with marrying a woman who is so much older than you? Miss Nymphadora Tonks is so much younger than you, but she didn't say that she didn't want to marry you. Since you don't want to be in a relationship with the young, beautiful, and capable Nymphadora who likes you and doesn't mind that you are a werewolf, then you can marry the old, ugly, pretentious, and snobbish Dolores who hates werewolves. "
"Don't call me Nymphadora! It's Tonks! Daisy, your brother is doing it on purpose! " At first, Nymphadora was quite happy to hear Allen's praise of her. But later, she found that Allen not only called her a somewhat inelegant name, but also deliberately looked at her general direction behind the one-way mirror. She was sure that he was doing it on purpose.
Daisy also noticed it and she began to giggle. "Nymphadora, my brother can't hear your complaints now."
Following that, the two beautiful witches began to tussle with each other. The surrounding werewolves had no choice but to refocus their eyes on the one-way mirror, not wanting to watch any longer.
When he heard the name Tonks, Lupin opened his eyes and stopped rubbing his forehead. It took him a while to understand what was going on and the purpose of the other party. He regained his usual demeanor and sat up slowly. He then leaned forward with his hands on his knees and said, "That's a bad joke, Allen."
"I've heard about the things between you and the Tonks. You're being liked by a girl like her, but you still avoided her and made the Tonks sad. She's my sister's best friend. Of course I'll make fun of you." Allen's words made Lupin speechless.
"We werewolves basically live a lonely life. At first, I thought that the witch with violet or bubblegum pink hair was very interesting. Later on, I was deeply fascinated by her. I've never fallen in love before. If this happened during peacetime, all I had to do was to leave for Order of the Phoenix and move to a new place. I didn't have to suffer. I hoped that the Tonks would fall in love with a normal person, such as the handsome young wizard in Aura's headquarters, or introduce her to Molly's son, Bill, like what she wanted to do. Even if this was what I wanted to happen. " Lupin clutched his heart in pain. "I thought that I was not worthy of love. After I realized her feelings for me, I felt happier than I ever have in my life. She told me many times that she didn't care about these things, but what could I do? I couldn't take the risk to get married. I couldn't take the risk to see if my lycanthropy would be passed on to the next generation of children. Even if there were so many new drugs, I couldn't take the risk. If I were to encounter a situation like last semester where I lost control and hurt the Tonks … And even if none of this happened, I'm afraid that the long-term stigma on me would affect her future and reputation … "
Remus realized that when faced with Allen, who was worried about his personal affairs, he, who was used to hiding his thoughts in his heart, couldn't help but pour out all his worries and thoughts. Apart from Molly Weasley, the members of the Phoenix Society were more like comrades. They discussed more about how to complete the mission rather than these personal matters. Sirius, on the other hand, was even less of a rash person than himself in this aspect. He wasn't a suitable person to confide in at all.
Allen sat behind his desk and crossed his hands under his chin. "The last time I met the Tonks at the station, she became extremely sad. Her hair withered and turned gray. She also started to look unkempt. If you ask me, her despair was worse than what you're showing now …"
"I don't care!" The sound of glass shattering exploded in the room. Lupin was stunned as he looked at the scene in the other room. His werewolves broke through the big mirror with grins on their faces. The girl he had been thinking about all day and night jumped out of the hole and rushed towards him.
Lupin's lips moved. He wanted to say something, but a warm sensation blocked his lips. He raised his stiff arms and wrapped them around the Tonks in front of him. He slowly closed his arms and tightened them …
"You like me. I like you too. I don't care if you're a werewolf! I've told you a million times that I don't care about this! " The Tonks were excited after hearing Lupin's inner monologue. After letting go of Lupin, they looked at each other with sparkling eyes. They grabbed his collar and shook it non-stop. The pink luster of the witch's hair became brighter.
"Remus, when you heard that you were going to marry Umrich, your face turned pale." The werewolf who shook hands with the Tonks laughed and slapped his thigh.
"Professor, if you don't want to be with the Tonks, Umrich will be a good wife." Hermione was still using her usual serious and analytical tone to say something completely indecent. "At least she's good at making tea."
Lupin felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. His reaction and confession were seen by this group of people. The poor professor turned his head away, coughed a few times and wanted to take another sip of tea to ease his embarrassment.
"Uh … wait, Remus." Allen waved his hand to stop him. "Go to the long table over there and find something to drink. Don't touch this cup of tea. Although I only used some small herbs to make it easier for you to lower your guard in order to avoid being charged with the illegal use of truth-telling serum, drinking too much won't do you any good …"
"No, you did a good job." The Tonks who were immersed in happiness gently left their lover's arms and picked up a firework. The others cheered and rushed over. All kinds of magical fireworks flew in the room. Emily was still pressing the shutter. Luna had already sat up on the sofa by the one-way mirror. She instructed her daughter, Helena, to bring and open a package of candy in Emily's bag.
The sound of the candy package being torn pulled Sweet Bear's attention away from the camera. When she saw what the mother and daughter were doing, Emily screamed, "No! My sugar feather brush! I deliberately put it at the bottom of my bag. I was going to eat it secretly in class! "
"Professor Lupin, I'll arrange the photos of you promising to marry Dolores and give them to you as a wedding gift for you and the Tonks." Allen stood up from behind the desk and put his hands behind his back to the embarrassed but happy Lupin. "If you don't treat the Tonks well, or if you plan to secretly hold a wedding without inviting all of us, Daisy and I will definitely make the mission you just promised a reality."
