Although some things had to be done in a hurry, for a family with such a long history, even if it was rushed, it would still be decent.
However, Dumbledore's arrival obviously made the banquet awkward.
Dumbledore was invited to testify for Sirius. Firstly, he was here to prove that there was no problem with his identity. Secondly, he was here to make a promise to the bride and her family.
Jon was here to watch the show.
The wedding ceremony was naturally simple. Sirius and the bride didn't have any feelings for each other. They didn't put on any pretense, and they didn't even introduce the bride and her family to Jon.
Jon was very surprised.
Because in his impression, although Sirius was a bit of a loner, or a bit of a prideful person, he wasn't someone who didn't take the big picture into consideration. In such an occasion, if it wasn't really necessary, he would definitely introduce Jon to his future wife and family.
The reaction of Sirius' bride and her family was even more strange. If Sirius didn't say anything, they pretended not to see, as if Jon didn't exist.
"What's going on?"
"Well, in your words, it's a confidentiality agreement. Although the Black family isn't as prosperous as before, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Not to mention, the news of Voldemort's return has already spread in some circles. The bride's family, although declining for a long time, can still talk to those circles. Some news will naturally be known by them. Moreover, pure-blooded families living in the same place are always related, especially Sirius. He still has two cousins who are still alive, and both of them are followers of Voldemort."
"I know, when I talked to Principal Phineas, I thought about this matter. If his two cousins weren't completely unreliable, Sirius wouldn't have been forced to this point."
It had to be said that this banquet was extremely awkward. Jon had never attended such a wedding before. Everyone was nervous and indifferent, as if they were eating with strangers in a restaurant.
But this was good.
No one knew his identity, which was a good thing for him.
It was just that Anthony had to suffer.
Although Grindelwald's magic barrier enveloped him, he still felt a little nervous living in such an environment and under the watchful eyes of so many house-elves.
It was a good meal, but he didn't eat much.
After the wedding, many new things naturally happened.
The Elves from Hogwarts who came to help had to return to their posts. For his new home, Sirius spent money to buy a new Elf. Fortunately, his family was old. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the means to buy a new Elf.
His new wife seemed to be a very virtuous person. Although she wasn't very pretty, she was very gentle.. at least, compared to Jon's imagination, who would marry a man she didn't like for benefits...
"Marriage is about benefits. There's no need to force two people to have feelings. It's good to have feelings, but it doesn't mean that they can't live the rest of their lives without feelings. In this world, there are so many people who don't have feelings for each other, but they still get married and have children."
"Although that's true, it wouldn't have happened at another time or another place. Things like this wouldn't have happened." Jon and Dumbledore walked out of the Black family's manor together. Anthony silently followed behind them, pretending that he didn't exist. "If Sirius hadn't stayed in prison for so long, I'm afraid he wouldn't be as mature as he is now."
Looking at the lights in the manor that were still on and the dogs running around the entrance, Jon retracted his gaze and stopped in his tracks.
"Principal, are you going back to school?"
He invited, "If you're not in a hurry, why don't you go to my laboratory to take a look? Teacher Grindelwald is there."
"I won't go. I still have a lot of things to do in school. Although everything is under control, I still have to deal with the Ministry of Magic. Now is not the time to fall out with them."
"That makes sense, but Professor Umbridge is really annoying. If there's a chance, it's better not to let such a person live."
"That won't be an easy task. For Umbridge to be able to get to where she is today, her survival skills are still very strong. Besides, I once heard a saying that good people often don't live for a long time, but bad people can live for a long time. What kind of person do you think Umbridge is?"
"Then it seems that Professor Umbridge is going to live for a long time. I haven't been in contact with Miss Granger recently. Principal, have you found anything new in school?"
"Miss Granger …" Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "She is indeed a smart witch. I think she can do a great job as you said. At least now she has shown her characteristics. I can feel her excellence and her ability to control is very strong."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen her. Anyway, with her by Harry's side, we can save a lot of trouble."
Jon touched his chest and glanced at the time. It was getting late. That awkward dinner had actually lasted two hours, and it was really a bad experience.
He was really not good at socializing.
"I'll go back first. I've been out for two hours. I think Grindelwald should have finished dealing with the other side. I have to go back and discuss the next part of the plan with him. As for the school matters, I may be delayed for two days. Principal, please take care of it."
"It's what I should do. It's not about taking care of it. That matter is more important. You go and do it, but remember, do it secretly. If possible, it's better to take down the higher-ups of the Muggle Society as soon as possible."
"There's no need to be afraid of the Muggle Society. Didn't I tell you? That organization already has a record. Although there is a slight problem with the record I submitted, it will probably be too late by the time they discover this problem. During this period of time, my grandmother will be handling that matter. I hope the royal family will give her some face. "
"Although I'm not familiar with the queen, your grandmother was once a guest of the royal family. With her help, it shouldn't be a big problem. We just have to wait for the good news."
