A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 707 When the wedding is going on

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 was a temporary house for Hagrid's younger brother, Grop, but now there was a big hole in the little house.

"Little Grapp couldn't find the door when he woke up in the morning." Hagrid rambled, as if this sentence was enough, and he knocked down the broken logs and replaced them with new logs.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, and the door kept opening and closing.

"He's smart," Bill said.

"Yeah," said Hagrid proudly, "Little Grapp can count to twelve."

Gropp'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 nice, Hagrid," said Felix. "He's still got a lot of potential. But we're going to have to move the house now."

"Move it," Hagrid said bluntly, "I think the method of binding the name to the number can make little Grapp count to seventeen, and no more." His face darkened, "it's easy to miss A name or two."

Suddenly the giant stood in front of the house and yelled at them, "Glop - wants - the house."

"Just removed temporarily." Hagrid also responded loudly, "I'll return it to you at night." After speaking, he looked at Felix uncertainly, "You can use that—that magic that can shrink objects, yes Bar?"

"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 dog, 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 quite 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 never thought that the ancient runes would become like this-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 was full of praise for Felix's way of incorporating the Ancient Rune Association, thinking that It was to help her vent her anger.

“The old guy is avoiding me now,” she wrote triumphantly, and Felix wasn’t sure if she was referring to Clemie’s grandfather, or the president before him—or both.

Felix conjured a top with magic, let Gropp spin it, and then they stepped on the soft lawn towards the Burrow, and Hagrid kept waving at Gropp on the way. Irregular oil paintings stacked into scrolls.

"Be careful, Hagrid, the magic might break its structure," Felix warned him.Hagrid's bold and unrestrained movements suddenly softened a lot.

Bill hesitated as he passed through a field of sand fruit trees and the Burrow was in sight.

"Felix, I have something to tell you about goblins."

Felix looked at him, waiting for the next sentence.

"I've worked at Gringotts for a while, and I know them, or think I know them. Wizards and goblins can still be friends when they don't touch on some sensitive topics. They have individual differences and personalities just like wizards. Good and bad."

Felix knew that wasn't what Bill was going to say, "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 the way the goblins easily agreed to join the Pan-Magical Union, and that the wizards threatened to Dissatisfied with disclosing the secrets of goblin magic. In addition, goblins are not the only ones 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. Only nearly one-third of the goblin elders participated in the previous negotiations."

"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 once our negotiations with the Muggle government come to an end, they should take action."

"Then just keep an eye on it," Felix said. "Even if it is a powder keg, it will only explode in the future. Unlike the ongoing government negotiations, the goblin has joined the Pan-Magical Alliance, and the director of the Goblin Liaison Office, Dirk Cresswell will appease them. I can't get away at the moment—if nothing else, I'll be going abroad when the wedding is over."

"Overseas?" Bill and Hagrid called at the same time.Bill's eyes flashed with thought, "It has something to do with 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 difficult to solve temporarily, we can pretend at the negotiating table Threats seem to be cut, and they are separated in one shot, but the actual implementation will inevitably be accompanied by turmoil and chaos in the entire wizarding world, and it is not worthwhile at this point."

He actually meant only one thing, 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 passed Mrs. Weasley and jumped into his arms. It was Fleur. She took a step back and turned around in a circle. The white dress unfolded like ripples in the water, and her silver waterfall Long hair is like the finishing touch.

"Honey, do I look pretty?" Fleur asked.

"Beautiful," said Bill, and Fleur's smile spread across Mrs. Weasley's face.Felix looked around, pointing to the banners floating above the ceiling and the purple lanterns piled in the corner. "I think that's why, Molly, something was left unpacked for Harry's birthday party last night."

"Oh, yes, you're right," said Mrs. Weasley in a panic.

Hagrid followed Felix cautiously, and the two of them entered 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 looked at Faye. Lex, Felix waved him, sat next to Lupin.

"They did grow really fast when they were kids," whispered Hagrid, 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."

"What?" Felix 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, when I returned to Sword Castle, I felt a strange feeling in my heart. 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 could also understand Lupine's impatience—normally, testing on the night of the full moon is the best choice, but the significance of this magic is too great for him, half a month of waiting time It seems too long.

……

Mr. Weasley let out a fit of laughter, as if he were 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, she She is a perfect beauty.She and Ginny are bridesmaids at today's wedding.

Gabriel suddenly jumped up from her seat, put her face against the window, and shouted chirpingly: "Mom! Someone is here, is it a 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, you go get the little guys in the garage—" Charlie stood up, "Okay, Dad." "—By the way, help me see if they put the messed things up."

"Let Gabriel go," said M. Delacour kindly.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 hand, earlier—

The adults stayed in the living room talking, and the kids (or who were supposed to be kids) huddled in the Weasleys' garage, talking and relaxing.Ron had been fiddling with the radio equipment the Weasley twins had brought back.

"I'm going to buy one later," said Ron.

"You're not an Auror anymore?" Fred raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I do," said Ron, "but that doesn't stop 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 threateningly, "if you're going to share some interesting family stories, it's best not to bring us along, 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 moment of embarrassment since you were born." George also said with deep emotion.

"—and a pleasure to share."

"I thought it was my mom's hobby!"

"Who knew it was Dad who gave us a fatal blow from behind."

"I dare not go out and 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—the Weasleys passed Mark the twins' buttocks to identify two identical babies in swaddling.

"Hey, I see a group of goblins looking this way." Cho Chang said through the window.

"That's strange," Ron said puzzled. "Usually they will show up in a day or two. It takes time to gather courage."

"I know why," said Ginny. "Dad thinks everyone in the family should have a little fun, so he secretly gave some candy to the goblins."

"Every family member? Goblins?" Ron was dumbfounded, and after a while his face revealed an expression of enlightenment: "I said why did Dad think of changing the ghoul in the attic into new clothes? I thought he was killed by his mother." Contagious... isn't it, Harry?"

"Stop it," said Harry in agony. He had accidentally squeezed a few pustules while grabbing the ghoul's arm, and the stench was almost enough to make one 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 she wasn't the one who laughed so happily just now, "Let's go."

As they came out, they met a group of people coming out of the Burrow, and Mr. Weasley handed the seating chart to Fred and George, "Help, boys." Then he turned to Ginny with a straight face and said, "" If you don't want to hear your mother calling your name with the Amplifying Charm, you'd better go back and change quickly."

Ginny yelled "Oops" and hurried back.Gabriel trailed behind lightly.

"Where's Amelia and Tonks?" From the back of 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 early, so she should be inspecting Diagon Alley now-for the reception of Muggles soon. Tonks is with her, and they let me Come here first to 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," said Felix absent-mindedly. "I just mentioned it."

"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 Aurors watching in the dark." Felix said, "It's people from the International Federation of Wizards. When will they arrive?"

"It's already here," said Sirius. "Amelia asked them to rest in the Ministry of Magic and come here together. Akinbad is in a bit of 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.

Gropp 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, he 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 the camera in his arms.When Felix looked outside again, he saw 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 a photo, this event seemed to become a special wedding event. The successful people seemed to return from victory, even walking posture All more straight.

Finally, the person Felix was waiting for arrived.

Seeing Babajid Akinbad at the first glance, Felix knew that Sirius' previous evaluation of him was too light. For the past month or so he seems to have aged a decade or so.
