Chapter 633: Wedding (Part 1)

"Harry Potter's Raven's Claw (
Three days later, Penello's long-awaited day finally arrived.
The venue for her and Mike's wedding was set on the Hogwarts campus.
This is an extremely rare decision, because Hogwarts is a very special existence for the wizards of the whole country. Generally speaking, no one would dare to put the wedding here, nor would there be The principal agreed to this request.
But this set of common sense is different for Mike.
You must know that Mike is now arguably the most powerful person in all of Europe. In addition, the current principal of Hogwarts is also his teacher. As long as Professor Flitwick nods, then no one dares to have any opinions.
The reason why Mike eventually chose Hogwarts as the wedding venue is very simple.
This is the place where Mike and Penello met for the first time. Mike and Penello have always believed that if they choose to get married here, they will give this wedding a more special commemorative meaning.
In addition, Mike also considered the political significance of the wedding.
At present, the Ministry of Magic is launching a large-scale talent introduction program, of which international students are a very important part.
As the Minister of Magic, his wedding will inevitably attract a large number of celebrities and upper-class nobles. By then, he will be able to show off Hogwarts' faculty by the way and make an admissions advertisement.
Of course, this level of meaning Mike will never tell Penello, which will make this wedding no longer pure.
The exact time for the wedding ceremony was set at twilight, so in the afternoon of the same day, Mike took his best man team to Hogwarts and began to check the relevant equipment that was basically ready in Hogwarts. .
These include bouquets, corsages, flower baskets, petals, bands, live decorations, food, fairies, etc. that need to be used at the wedding.
I have to say that getting married is indeed a cumbersome to the extreme. This is the same in almost all places in the world, even wizards.
Fortunately, Mike is richer, which saves him too much experience in these preparations.
While Mike and others were working in Hogwarts, Penello and her bridesmaids were also busy in the Masonic Secret.
Compared with the large amount of preparatory work that men need to do, women only need to dress themselves up, and don't be late.
But this is not easy.
Because the dresses and makeup that need to be used at the wedding are too complicated.
It was only in the afternoon that Mike rushed to Hogwarts to inspect the scene, but Penello and her bridesmaids have been busy since early morning.
It is also worth mentioning that Penello's parents were also taken to the secret territory of the Freemasonry by Mike, and they are now with Penello.
Penello's father was a lumberjack. He was sturdy, hot-tempered and had a bad habit of drinking, but fortunately, he didn't have the habit of domestic violence, which was not bad enough.
As for her mother, she is a full-time mother.
It's a pity that with Penello only one child, the job of a full-time mother is obviously too leisurely.
Coupled with Penello's father's perennial neglect of her, this caused Penello's mother to often go outside to find comfort.
Such a combination of parents and the fact that the family is already relatively poor, so the relationship between Penello and his parents is actually not very good. This can be seen from the fact that she never returned home once she became capable.
However, Mike pays more attention to relatives, so although he knows that Penello and his parents are not good people, he still insisted on inviting them to the scene.
Penello's parents were naturally very happy about this. After all, although they didn't understand what the Minister of Magic was, they at least knew the fact that their daughter married a powerful rich man.
Penello's feelings are a bit complicated.
On the one hand, she would be dissatisfied if Mike did not invite her parents, but now that Mike invited her, she was a little worried and uncomfortable.
After all, she knew exactly what her parents were like.
However, Penello's thoughts were ignored by Mike. At this moment, he had already checked all the equipment, and as time passed, the guests had already entered the venue one after another.
The invitation letter sent by Mike this time is very comprehensive, from all the teachers and students and his friends at Hogwarts, to the various powerful nobles in the country and the ministers of European countries in the Ministry of Magic. An invitation letter with a door key attached.
Naturally, the earliest visitors among these guests were Sirius Black, Lupin and Tonks.
Just as Mike had just made the preparations, Black and the others had already stepped into the auditorium.
"Mike, congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Happy wedding!"
As soon as they saw Mike, the three of them all expressed their congratulations to Mike.
It's just that compared to the solemnity of Lupin and Tonks, Blake's expression is a bit absent.
Mike naturally knew what he was thinking. He just missed Harry, so he shook his head and said to Black:
"Harry is still doing voluntary labor. He will come before the wedding."
"Voluntary labor?" Black frowned first, and then his eyes lit up, "Maybe I can help him do it!"
Mike shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Whatever you want, Professor Flitwick is in his original office, and I have no objection if he agrees."
"Then I will go!"
After saying this, Black ran out of the auditorium.
After sending off Black, Mike finally had time to receive Lupin and his wife.
At this time, both of them were wearing formal clothes. Mike didn't have much research on the clothes, but these clothes looked quite new and the fabrics were good. They should have customized them.
This also shows that the economic situation of Lupin and his wife after marriage is fairly good.
This made Mike very gratified. The reason why he stripped Lupin and Tonks from those related matters was to change their destiny, but now it seems that the effect is not bad.
It is worth mentioning that Tonks’s belly is already very big, which makes her dress style a bit strange, not pretty, but absolutely comfortable.
Seeing this, Mike was immediately excited. He was curious about Tonks's stomach for a while, then raised his head and asked:
"A few months? This should be born soon, right?"
"It's been more than eight months," Tonks replied with a smile. "The expected delivery date is just one and a half months later. The Muggle doctor who checked us said that the baby is very healthy and suggested that we give birth."
"Really? Congratulations!"
"Thank you."
When Lu Ping heard the words, he squeezed out a smile and responded, but at this time Mike noticed that Lu Ping's whole body had become thinner and his hair was a lot whiter.
But this didn't make him sluggish, but made him more dangerous.
I saw his dissatisfied and bloodshot eyes constantly turning, and his body was hidden in front of Tonks, his muscles were tight, and he seemed to be always alert for possible attacks.
Mike also knew a little about the situation of their husband and wife, so he knew the reason why Lupin became like this.
He sighed and said sincerely to Lupin:
"Hey, Lupin, relax. It's absolutely safe here. I can use everything I have to assure you. You don't have to worry too much about the child's blood. He may not be a werewolf, in case he inherits With his mother’s blood, how about becoming a deformed Animagus? And, what if the worst happens? The wolf poison potion is almost universal now, and the rights of the werewolves are gradually getting Guarantee, your child will be happy!"
"Thank you! Mike!"
Lu Ping said with red eyes.
This is his sincere words, whether in the fight for the human rights of the werewolves or the concern for him, Mike has done what he can do to the extreme.
Then Mike persuaded Lupin and his wife a few more words, and then Franklin led them to rest in the castle.
After sending away the Lupins, the new guests arrived.
This time it was the French Minister of Magic and all the ministers of his clumsy faction.
With such a mighty ten or so people plus their respective female partners, Mike's surroundings became crowded in an instant.
Fortunately, their etiquette skills are quite good, and their dresses are also very formal, so the atmosphere on site is not bad.
Most importantly, they each gave a lot of valuable gifts.
Among them, the French Minister of Magic is the most generous. He directly gave Mike a hundred senior combat wizards!
Yes, you heard that right, he is just a gift from people.
But instead of sending these people here directly, he gave Mike an employment contract.
As long as Mike signs on it, then these hundred wizards will be employed by Mike for a hundred years, and the annual salary is only a poor 100 gold gallons.
To be honest, Mike was surprised when he received this gift.
After all, the entire French Ministry of Magic is now under his control, and the French Minister of Magic is strictly a polished commander.
So it's hard for him to think about where the other party got so many people.
But this is not important, as long as Mike is good to get it anyway.
It’s just that despite the benefits, Mike’s attitude towards these wall-riders is still not much better. He just asked them to find a place to rest after a few perfunctory sentences.
After that, the aristocratic forces in the country's native land arrived.
The most representative ones are the Malfoy family and the Hunter family.
Their gifts are also very rich. The Malfoy family directly gave Mike a winery, and the Hunter family gave a piece of the perfect bird breeding farm.
In addition to them, many other nobles have come. These people, Mike, are not too familiar, and the gifts they give are not expensive enough to make a deep impression.
But after Mike's preliminary estimation, at least all the surviving families in the Holy Twenty-Eight Clan should have arrived.
The last group of guests that arrived was the resolute Ministry of Magic represented by the Magic Congress of the United States.
It's just that their Minister of Magic did not come in person, but chose to send an envoy to present a gift.
Mike was not too surprised by this. With his relationship with Piquili and the others, they would have ghosts if they wanted to come.
At this point, all the guests have arrived.
Mike looked at the fading sky outside and decisively asked Benjamin to arrange everyone to sit down.
The venue for the wedding ceremony was set in the auditorium of Hogwarts Castle. The four long tables that were originally placed here representing the four colleges have been removed and replaced by rows that are somewhat similar to churches. Densely arranged benches.
In addition, the overall color of the entire auditorium has been arranged in blue and white, and the surrounding walls are covered with vines, densely blooming with countless colorful flowers, butterflies and various small flying birds constantly shuttle among them, the kind of crisp and moving The sound of birdsong and the rich fragrance made people feel relieved.
The guests present were all curiously looking at the surrounding arrangements. Those who had originally come were better off, and finally maintained some demeanor.
And those students who were placed on the left side of the auditorium as a whole and just entered the hall just after class were different. They all stared and looked around, and from time to time there were bursts of exclamation from the crowd.
This also made the entire auditorium gradually become noisy.
But this is also understandable, after all, today is a rare good day.
The other guests sitting across from them didn't care, and many of them even kept casting kind eyes at them.
At this moment, the Hogwarts professors and Mike and others came outside the castle~EbookFREE.me~ looking at the distant sky, waiting for the bride's arrival.
Professor Flivy also wore the grand gown he mentioned last time. The light blue dress on his short body did not look abrupt and weird. On the contrary, it made Professor Flivy look younger. And full of vitality.
It’s just that Professor Flitwick at this moment seems to be more nervous than Mike, a formal groom. They have just waited outside for less than five minutes, and he has asked Mike four times whether his clothes are lacking. Up.
This scene caused Benjamin and others to laugh in good faith, and Mike could only comfort Professor Flitwick over and over again.
But this is actually not very useful. At this time, Flivy can't calm down at all. Today is the day of his disciple Mike's wedding, and Mike also invited him to be the representative of the man's family and a witness.
It can be said that he has raised his position to an infinitely important level.
Professor Flitwick can't imagine what a terrible disaster scene if he makes any mistakes at such a critical moment!
Now all he can do is meditate over and over again in his heart to calm down, trying to control his emotions.
But at this moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly issued a series of exclamations.
Professor Flitwick opened his eyes instinctively, and saw that several small black dots suddenly appeared in the center of the orange-red warm sun that was about to fall into the horizon. These small black dots continued to enlarge, and it seemed that they were being directed towards them. Flying objects flying here.
At this time, the psychological construction that Professor Flivy had done so hard to do all collapsed, he instinctively clenched his fist, and shouted in a panic:
"Are they here? Are they really?"
