A certain Hogwarts rune professor
Felix and Bill stood in front of a tall wooden house not far from the wedding tent. The house is twenty or thirty feet high, and each side is made of tree trunks with excess branches cut off. Only the top part of the tree trunk remains, and the whole looks like a green mushroom.
This is a temporary house for Hagrid's younger brother Grop, but now there is a big hole in the small house.
"Little Grapp couldn't find the door when he woke up in the morning." Hagrid rambled, as if this sentence was enough, he knocked down the broken logs and replaced them with new logs. replace. He tied a tablecloth-sized handkerchief to the edge of the door and pointed it out to Gropp.
The giant stretched out two fingers, pinched the handkerchief and pulled it back and forth, the door kept opening and closing.
"He's smart," Bill said.
"Yeah," said Hagrid proudly, "Little Gramp can count to twelve."
Glop's thick fingers poked the logs one by one, and said in a low voice: "One, two, three...ten." When he counted to ten, he counted two more, "Glop eleven, Hagel twelve."
He scratched his head and smirked.
"Very good, Hagrid." Felix said: "He still has great potential. But we have to move the house now."
"Move," said Hagrid briskly, "I think the method of binding the name to the number can make the little Gramp count to seventeen, and no more will do." His face darkened, " It's easy to miss a name or two."
The giant suddenly stood in front of the house and yelled at them, "Glop - want - the house."
"It was only temporarily removed." Hagrid also responded loudly, "I will return it to you at night." After he finished speaking, he looked at Felix uncertainly, "You can use that—the one that can shrink objects Magic, right?"
"I'm going to use another magic." Felix said vaguely, "It's easier to carry, and of course it's more interesting." He looked at Glop, "Excuse me." What happened to the three big dogs, he reluctantly stepped aside and sat down on the ground.
The ground shook violently.
Felix circled the hut, looking for the right angle, and the thinking hut rolled out like a silver veil. The color of the wood became unreal, and the lines on the edges became more prominent, like a three-dimensional oil painting. He stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the three-dimensional painting was compressed into a flat surface, fluttering down on Felix's hand, and Felix rolled it up and handed it to Hagrid.
Hagrid unfolded the picture in a daze, Gropp's eyes widened, his head rested on Hagrid's shoulder, and he faltered.
"You can do this now?" Bill asked in amazement.
"The application of ancient runes with other magic is interesting, isn't it?" Felix asked.
"It's as if my memory has been messed up." Bill said casually. "When I was in school, I didn't think that the ancient runes would become like this at all-do you still keep in touch with Professor Babling?"
Felix hesitated for a moment, "She said that I made my leisurely vacation busy." However, the ancient rune professor before him praised Felix for incorporating the Ancient Rune Association She stopped talking, thinking that she was helping her out of her anger.
"The old guy is avoiding me now," she wrote triumphantly in her letter, and Felix wasn't sure if she was referring to Clemie's grandfather, or the president before him - or both. Of.
Felix conjured a top with magic, let Gropp spin it around, and then they stepped on the soft lawn towards the Burrow, Hagrid kept waving at Gropp on the way, his hand He also holds irregular oil paintings folded into scrolls.
"Be careful, Hagrid, the magic might break its structure," Felix warned him. Hagrid's bold and unrestrained movements suddenly softened a lot.
Passing through a field of sand fruit trees, the Burrow was in sight, and Bill hesitated.
"Felix, I have something to tell you about fairies."
Felix looked at him, waiting for the next.
"Having worked at Gringotts for a while, I know them, or think I do. It's possible for wizards and goblins to be friends without touching on sensitive topics, and they're as individual as wizards are in their differences , There are good and bad personalities.”
Felix knew that Bill was not going to say this, "It's not surprising, intelligent creatures always have richer personalities and emotions."
"That's right," Bill echoed, and continued, "A goblin friend of mine told me that the Goblin Brotherhood has elected a new leader and is dissatisfied with how the goblins easily agreed to join the Pan-Magical Union The wizard threatened to reveal the secret dissatisfaction of goblin magic. Besides, goblins are not only in the UK, Gringotts are all over the world, and goblins are all over the world. They balance different opinions through a council of elders. The previous negotiations only had nearly a third of goblin elders Participate."
"You mean that their opinions are not unified, and the trend is obvious?" Felix thought for a moment and asked, "Are they planning to do anything in the near future?"
"As far as I know, no," Bill said, "but when our negotiations with the Muggle government come to an end, they should take action."
"Then keep an eye on it for now," Felix said. "Even if it's a powder keg, it will only explode in the future. Unlike the ongoing government negotiations, the goblin has joined the pan-magic alliance, and the goblin liaison office Director Dirk Cresswell will reassure them. I can't get away at the moment - if nothing else, I'll be going abroad after the wedding."
"Overseas?" Bill and Hagrid called at the same time. Bill's eyes flashed in thought, "Is it related to the few guests that Sirius temporarily added? They are from the International Federation of Wizards..."
"Well," Felix didn't go into details, "compared with the problems abroad, the troubles caused by goblins seem a bit insignificant-the goblin problem is not impossible to solve, but it is difficult to solve it for a while. We can negotiate The table pretended to threaten to make a cut, and it fell apart, but the actual implementation will inevitably be accompanied by turmoil and chaos in the entire wizarding world, and it is not worthwhile at this juncture.”
His meaning is actually only one, distinguishing between primary and secondary, obviously goblins belong to the latter.
The three walked through the garden that seemed to have been washed by water. Mrs. Weasley was standing in front of the window with a long list, her sharp eyes scanning back and forth. After hearing the sound of the door opening, she took the initiative to meet her, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "I always feel that something is missing."
Bill opened his mouth, but a white shadow brushed past Mrs. Weasley and jumped into his arms. It was Fleur. She took a step back and turned around in a circle. The waterfall-like long hair is like the finishing touch.
"Honey, do I look pretty?" Fleur asked.
"Very beautiful," said Bill, and Fleur burst into a smile, but Mrs. Weasley's smile faded away. Felix looked around, pointing to the banners floating above the ceiling and the purple lanterns piled in the corner, and said, "I think it's because of this, Molly, that something wasn't packed in time for Harry's birthday party last night."
"Oh, yes, you're right." Mrs. Weasley said in a panic.
Hagrid followed Felix cautiously, and the two walked into the living room, which was full of people. "Hello, Charlie," said Hagrid enthusiastically. Charlie was the second child of the Weasley family, and his job was to study dragons in Romania. Hagrid liked him, maybe because Charlie had done him a favor once.
"Is Norbert all right?" Hagrid asked.
"Noble?" Charlie laughed, "We call it Norberta now."
"What—Noble is a girl?"
"Yeah." Charlie said, "It's not easy to tell the gender of a young dragon, and it's easier when it grows up. For example, I recently got a Ukrainian iron belly. Its head looks like a blown balloon..." He Looking at Felix, Felix waved to him, sitting next to Lupin.
"They did grow very fast when they were young," Hagrid whispered, remembering his experience raising dragons.
When Felix sat down, Lupine leaned over and whispered eagerly: "When the wedding is over, can you find time to come to the company? It shouldn't take much time."
"Why?" Felix also asked in a low voice.
"I think... it's done." Lupine seemed to be trying to hide his excitement. The Delacours were surprised, but they were immediately distracted by Mr. Weasley's brilliant joke.
"What—oh!" Felix looked at Lupine. He made a mouth gesture.
"The ancient magic of harnessing werewolf transformation." Lupine said with a slightly trembling voice, "It may be the effect of alcohol. After celebrating Harry's birthday last night and returning to Sword Castle, I felt a strange feeling I feel, I tried it once, and it turned out to be very smooth to the last step, but I dare not continue."
"No problem, just tonight." Felix said thoughtfully. He was also happy for Lupin. After five full months, Lupine finally saw the dawn of hope. He even had a lot of foundations in ancient runes due to work, which showed the difficulty of this magic.
He can also understand Lupine's impatientness—normally, it is the best choice to test on the night of the full moon, but the significance of this magic is too great for him, half a month's time The waiting time seemed too long.
…
Mr Weasley let out a burst of laughter, as if he was the one listening to the story.
The Delacours are not very good at English, so they express their compliments in French. Their youngest daughter, Gabriel Delacour, sits between her parents and looks around. She is simply a copy of Fleur, although she is only 11 years old , but she is a full-fledged beauty. She and Ginny are bridesmaids at today's wedding.
Gabriel suddenly jumped up from her seat, pressed her face against the window, and shouted chirpingly: "Mom! Someone is here, is the wedding guest? The wedding is about to start?"
Mr. Weasley also stood up and walked to the window to look out at the scene. "It's Percy and Penelope, and there's someone else—it's Sirius!" He glanced at his watch, then looked around the room, and finally fell on Charlie.
"It's almost time, Charlie, go get the little guys in the garage—" Charlie stood up in response, "Okay, Dad." "—By the way, help me see if they have Make a mess of things in the garage."
"Let Gabriel go," said M. Delacour, good-naturedly. His wife stood up, and the couple's heights seemed to be reversed, the wife taller than the husband, slender, with brilliant blond hair, and the husband stocky and chubby with a black mustache.
Gabriel ran to the door happily, pushed the door open, and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye. It was like a signal, and everyone in the room started to move.
On the other side, earlier—
The adults stayed in the living room talking, and the children huddled in the Weasleys' garage, chatting and relaxing. Ron had been fiddling with the radio equipment the Weasley twins had brought back.
"I'm going to get one later," said Ron.
"You're not an Auror anymore?" Fred raised an eyebrow.
"Of course," said Ron, "but it doesn't prevent me from having my own hobbies."
"Our little brother was interested in putting his voice in other people's ears," Fred said to Cedric. The two families moved nearby to take care of each other because of Voldemort's brief threat. After the war, the Diggory family did not move back.
"Don't say you don't like it," Ron pointed out.
"Yeah, we're just reminding you," George said in a threatening tone, "If you're going to share some interesting family stories, it's best not to bring us, for your own health."
"You mean Mr. Weasley's interview?" Hermione asked the twins.
They did not respond positively. "The Daily Prophet quoted some Muggle reports, and now I feel like I'm standing naked in the snow and ice." Fred said despondently.
"Parents are really terrible creatures. They remember every embarrassing moment since you were born." George also said with deep emotion.
"—and a pleasure to share."
"I thought it was my mother's hobby!"
"Who knew it was Dad who gave us a fatal blow from behind."
"I dare not go out to meet people."
The two sang together and said that Harry didn't see much embarrassment on their faces, and Mr. Weasley didn't mention anything bad, but Harry solved the doubts in his heart——Weasley Couples are able to identify identical twins in swaddling by marking their buttocks.
"Hey, I see a group of goblins looking this way." Cho Chang said through the window.
"That's strange," Ron said puzzled, "Usually they would show up in a day or two, it takes time to gather courage."
"I know why," said Ginny. "Daddy thinks everyone in the family should have a little fun, so he secretly gave some candy to the goblins."
"Every family member? Goblin?" Ron was dumbfounded, and after a while his face showed an expression of enlightenment: "I said why did Dad think of changing clothes for the ghoul in the attic, I thought He was infected by his mother... wasn't he, Harry?"
"Stop it." Harry said painfully. He accidentally squeezed a few pustules while grabbing the ghoul's arm, and the stench could make people faint. Hermione, Ginny, and Cho Chang giggled, and Cedric looked away, who was also struggling.
At this time, a little girl with silver waterfall-like hair appeared at the door, "Hello! They told you to come over! Guests are coming!"
"Got it, Gabriel." Hermione said gently, as if the person who smiled happily just now was not her, "Let's go."
As they came out, they met a group of people coming out of the Burrow. Mr. Weasley handed Fred and George the seating chart, "Help, boys." Then he turned his head to Ginny with a serious face. Say: "If you don't want to hear your mother calling your name with a megaphone, you'd better go back and change quickly."
Ginny yelled "Oops" and hurried back. Gabriel trailed behind lightly.
"Where are Amelia and Tonks?" Behind the crowd, Felix and Lupine walked together and asked Sirius who had just appeared.
Sirius glanced at his watch.
"There is still an hour before the wedding, and she arrived about a quarter of an hour earlier, so she should be inspecting Diagon Alley now—in order to receive Muggles soon. With Tonks accompanying her, They asked me to come over and explain the situation, it is said that the guest commentator is a tour guide of a travel agency, I don’t know who came up with the bad idea.”
"It's me." Felix said absently, "I just mentioned it casually."
"Very insightful." Sirius grinned, "I don't know that wizard, but when I was in school, this travel agency seemed to take 'missing' more wizards as its mission."
"There will be Auror watching in the dark." Felix said, "It's people from the International Federation of Wizards. When will they arrive?"
"It's here," said Sirius, "Amelia asked them to rest in the Ministry of Magic and come here together. Akinbad is in a bad state."
At three o'clock sharp in the afternoon, Harry, Ron, Fred, and George stood outside the huge, cream-colored tent in the orchard, waiting with seating charts in hand. The purple carpet stretched from their feet to the end of the tent, the golden chairs were in order, and the pillars and tables were carefully arranged with flowers that Fred and George brought from the town. Hermione and Penello took the trouble to place all kinds of small gifts in the center of the table.
Mr. Weasley disappeared for a while, and then appeared with a team of waiters and a band. They performed their duties, and gradually, the number of people in the tent increased.
Glop couldn't get into the tent, and he could easily remove the flag stuck on the top of the convertible just by standing. As Britain's only pure-blooded Giant - though that may not have anything to do with that - Gropp was also tasked with clutching a handful of balloons, handing one to every visitor he passed. But the only function is to scare the guests enough.
But there are always brave people who dare to try.
Felix had nothing to do, and kept looking at the guests who came from afar.
After observing for a while, Felix took out a magic camera and handed it to Mr. Weasley. Mr. Weasley was overjoyed and left with his camera in his arms~IndoMTL.com~ When Felix looked outside again, he found Percy standing in front of the giant, holding up his camera, taking pictures of the eager guests trying to show their courage.
When a group of girls who came from France and suspected to have the same blood of Meiwa dared to leave photos, this event seemed to become a special wedding event. The walking posture is more straight.
Finally, the person Felix was waiting for arrived.
The first time he saw Babajid Akinbad, Felix knew that Sirius' previous evaluation of him was too light. Awesome, it's been just over a month and he seems to be ten years older.
