Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 784 Godric's Hollow

 The next morning, the weather was better than before, neither too cold nor too hot, and the breeze carried the coolness of dewdrops.

The wedding of Lupine and Tonks was not held at No. 12 Grimmauld Place because some people from outside the Order of the Phoenix would be attending this time. For safety reasons, they would certainly not be allowed to enter the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

This is just out of caution, not a matter of trust.

 After a night of deliberation, they chose a house in Godric's Hollow that had been idle for many years.

 At five o'clock in the morning, a group of people arrived there through the portkey.

 Looking at the ordinary-looking house in front of him, Sirius asked with a complicated expression.

 “Moon Face, have you really made your decision?”

"Of course, Padfoot," Lupine said with a smile, "This is the perfect place, isn't it? And I think Harry would be very happy to be back here again."

 “What I’m most worried about right now is actually you, you...”

"I don't mind, really." Sirius turned away and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Harry's eyes lit up.

Sirius once thought that he would never come back here again, but when everyone was discussing the wedding venue last night, he accidentally revealed the address here. Even after he said it, he didn't realize that he had just spoken. What did you say.

Not only Harry, but also everyone else was in a daze after coming in, but fortunately some people quickly remembered the business.

In front of a light blue sofa is a very old TV set. Of course, it looks like this now, but more than ten years ago, this kind of TV might have been the latest model.

"Hurry up!" Mr. Weasley clapped his hands, "Don't forget, the guest will arrive at seven o'clock."

Beside the sofa is a cabinet with a broom inside.

"Absolutely not!" Sirius said firmly, as if he was speaking to himself, but also to another non-existent person.

 “Come with me, you will like it here.” Sirius held out his hand.

 Since he was acquitted, Sirius bought this place, but why he did this, Sirius didn't know clearly. Maybe he just wanted to keep a souvenir.

 Fortunately, Harry spoke in time and helped him out.

"That's right, there are only two hours left." Mrs. Weasley let go of Harry. "This time is not enough at all. We really should have come a few hours earlier."

“This is good, really good. I have always dreamed of coming here...and I have had this dream for sixteen years.”

At the same time, Harry on the other side was also looking blankly at the beautiful house in front of him. Ron called him many times from the side, but he didn't respond.

 After entering the door, he first saw a living room, which was larger than the one in the Burrow and smaller than the one in No. 12 Grimmauld Place, but it was equally warm.

"We have to make sure the children get some rest, and we've just got off work," said Mr. Weasley.

“Nimbus 1500.” Lu Ping came over and stretched out his hand to touch the glass window on the cabinet. "A very old model of broom, but it was the best at the time. James rode it to win the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor."

There was a strong, musty smell in the room, but Harry didn't care at all.

Harry shook his head, stopped thinking about this, and continued to look elsewhere.

Everyone walked in one after another, Harry stayed at the back and stepped onto the steps in front of the door with some apprehension.

Without any hesitation, Lupine set the location of his wedding at the place where James and Lily once lived. It was also at this time that Sirius came to his senses.

He knew that his father also liked Quidditch, and there was a medal with his name engraved on it in the school prize room.

 “It won’t be changed this time, right?” Lupine asked with a smile.

He knew exactly what Lupine meant, because this was the Potter home, where James and Lily lived, and where Voldemort killed them.

 Sirius immediately took out the key and opened the door.

He wanted to put a piece of his own, but he never succeeded.

"It's okay, Mrs. Weasley." Something seemed to flash in his eyes, and his voice became choked.

Then the option of St. Catchpore was ruled out.

"You're fully prepared, aren't you?" Lupine patted Sirius and pulled him out of his memories.

"Maybe... um..." Mr. Weasley was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to convince his wife.

“Okay, let’s start quickly.” He shouted.

 But now it was too late to take back what he said.

"Yes, it's been done." Sirius said subconsciously: "The secret keeper of the Loyalty Curse is myself."

“I didn’t agree with the wedding venue being chosen here before.” Mrs. Weasley sighed, “They didn’t think about Harry’s feelings at all.”

"I think they chose this place just because they thought of Harry." Mr. Weasley said next to him: "Harry is an adult. There are some things he always has to face and must face. He can't Keep running away."

"Okay, Molly." Kingsley came over and said, "Time is tight, the guests are coming soon, we have to clean up quickly."

“Why not? He has friends, he has us, and he is happy now. Why must he remember these bad memories?”

Harry took a deep breath, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he strode into the room.

"Oh, dear." Mrs. Weasley stepped forward and hugged him hard.

　　Since he entered school, the Quidditch champion has always been Hufflepuff, and it seems to be the same for the class before he entered school. Not counting the time when the Triwizard Tournament was canceled, Hufflepuff has won six consecutive championships.

 Carpets, tables, chairs, electric lamps, fireplaces...he had never seen any of them before, but he still had a very familiar feeling in his heart, as if they had been hidden in his memory and were only brought out again today.

 All this was because he was smart enough to change the secret keeper.

 His words also reminded everyone.

No one has lived in this house for more than ten years. Without the blessing of memories, there are suddenly more things to do.

 First of all, the musty smell is unbearable, and the dust is as if someone dumped a whole bag of flour in the room.

 It can be said that the situation here is worse than when they first went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

“Sirius!” Mrs. Weasley frowned, “Have you never cleaned this place since you bought it?”

 Sirius said nothing.

 That's for sure, he didn't even dare to go near Godric's Hollow, so how could he come here to clean up.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we move quickly, two hours should be enough." Mr. Weasley took out his wand and waved it lightly at the table in front of him.

 “Swept away by the whirlwind.”

 The dust on the table was immediately picked up by a whirlwind and carried outside the house. At the same time, the wind also took away some of the smell in the room.

Others began to follow suit and used whirlwind spells to clean the room.

However, everyone had a tacit understanding not to touch the portrait of three people on the wall, but left it to Harry.

There is a couple above, James and Lily, and they are holding a newborn baby, but at this time, the baby does not have the ugly scar on its forehead.

 “Hide your face.” Mrs. Weasley consciously walked around Harry and handed two bottles of black stuff to Ron and Hermione.

 They all knew what it was, Hu Meizi Killer, but they didn’t expect that she had brought this thing over.

"This house has been empty for more than ten years, and this kind of pest has probably been overrun for a long time." Mrs. Weasley said, "Hurry up, Fred, George, if you continue to be idle, give me a reply Go home!”

 “Okay mom, we’re here to help…”

 “As long as you don’t drive us away.”

“But there’s still a little while to wait, just three minutes…”

 “We have to show Harry something good.”

Fred and George poked their heads out from upstairs with a smile, "Come up quickly, Harry, there's something you absolutely like."

 Harry looked away from the portrait and walked up the stairs doubtfully. Fred and George stood together, shoulders touching each other. When Harry came up and walked away, they separated to both sides, revealing a cot behind them.

 “We guess this is something that belongs to you…”

 “Unless you have a sister...”

 “Or it’s my brother…”

 “Or it’s my sister...”

 “But it’s better not to be a younger brother.”

“Just look at Ron, he really doesn’t let us worry.”

Fred and George were talking with smiles. Normally, Harry might have laughed a little, but now he couldn't hear a word and just walked over subconsciously.

　　The crib has been cleaned in advance. It is covered with a blue velvet cushion of the same style as the sofa, and above it is a wind chime decorated with strings of shells.

Harry stared blankly, reaching out to touch it from time to time.

As for Fred and George, they had left quietly. They returned to the first floor and found Kyle who was flipping something in front of the curtains.

"What are you looking for?"

“Hu Meizi.” Kyle said, “Xiu Xiu likes this thing, and I’m going to collect some for it as snacks.”

“So, as long as there are a dozen or so Sniffs, we don’t have to clean them?” George asked with a smile.

"They can't eat so much." Kyle said without looking back, and put the two vixens into a special box.

 Fortunately, this place is much smaller than Blake's old house. Everyone worked together for more than an hour and finally cleaned the room.

However, looking at the brand new room, Sirius and Lupine were stunned again and fell into memories again.

"Sirius!"

 At this moment, Harry rushed downstairs in a hurry.

“Can I live here after graduation?” He asked expectantly, holding a shell wind chime in his hand.

Harry originally thought that Sirius would definitely agree, but unexpectedly he shook his head decisively.

 “No, Harry.”

"Why!" Harry was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "This is my parents' house, why can't I live here."

"He was, but he's mine now," Sirius said. "I got the magical contract here."

"I'm willing to spend money to buy it back." Harry said, "I have money, you can go to my treasury and take whatever you want."

"I'm sorry," Sirius said stiffly, "I can give you anything, whether it's my vault or No. 12 Grimmauld Place, but not this."

"I…"

 “Listen to me, Harry.”

Harry wanted to say something else, but Sirius put his hand on his shoulder, interrupting what he was going to say next.

"You have your own life, a new life...this is our memory." Sirius took a deep breath, "I beg you, leave it to me, okay?"

Harry was silent.

This was the first time that Sirius used the word 'request' to him.

 Sirius has been helping him since two years ago and gave him many things that he had never had before. He also wanted to do something for Sirius, but he could never find the opportunity.

Now this opportunity finally came, but he was reluctant to part with it because he was willing to use everything he had in exchange for this house.

 For a moment, the two looked at each other, neither speaking, nor giving in.

 The others did not disturb him and just left the room silently.

“Tsk!” Fred stretched out his arms and looked back at the closed room, “Do you think Sirius will return this place to Harry?”

“I think it should be,” George said. “As Harry said, this is where his parents live, and he has the right to live here.”

"I don't think so." Kyle thought for a moment, "And I don't approve of Sirius doing this."

 “Why?” George asked curiously.

"Because Sirius made a mistake once, if Harry lived here, he would always remember what happened that night, and every moment would become a torture."

"That's true." Fred nodded and said, "I hope he can convince Harry. But I think if Harry insists, he will compromise."

"Okay, you three." Mrs. Weasley came over and interrupted their chat.

“Let the two of them decide this matter. Can you help me arrange the venue? It’s already half past six, and there are still a lot of things that haven’t been done.

“Flowers, balloon decorations, dress...Oh my God, where did Sirius put the dress? He didn’t bring it with him.”

 “Take it, Molly, here it is with me.” Lupine said, “Don’t be nervous, it’s just a witness.”

"How about that? By the way, there's cake. I'll prepare it now." Mrs. Weasley didn't listen to him at all and hurried to another place.

 Under the guidance of Mrs. Weasley, they soon began to get busy again.

Kyle took the wand and walked around the house. Every time he clicked the wand in his hand, a patch of flowers would grow on the ground, and soon a huge artificial garden was created.

 “It’s incredible.” Mr. Weasley looked at the cluster of orchids he had conjured, and then at the large garden Kyle had created.

 “It seems like I’m superfluous, you really don’t need help.”

 “I told you earlier.” Kyle smiled.

 At 6:40, another person came.

Hagrid landed on the garden on his motorcycle.

"I'm so sorry." He looked at the flower that was crushed by him, "I thought this was an open space."

"It used to be." Mrs. Weasley said, "Okay, move your motorcycle aside quickly."

"Ah, okay." Hagrid picked up the motorcycle and jumped to the open space next to it. Kyle was responsible for the aftermath and repaired the damaged areas.

 Fred and George used magic to conjure many sparkling elves flying in the sky.

 Hermione sprayed red and yellow banners from the top of her wand, carried by the elf.

"What does this color mean?" Ginny asked curiously: "I think gold looks better."

"Yellow is the color of Hufflepuff." Hermione explained: "Tonks graduated from Hufflepuff. If it were changed to gold, they would all become Gryffindors."

 “You are so thoughtful,” Ginny said sincerely.

"I don't think they'll bother with that," whispered Fred. "I guess Tonks would prefer a bubblegum pink color, like her hair is now."

“We’ll just add more when the time comes.” Kyle said, “The space is big enough, so you can add as many as you want.”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." Mrs. Weasley shouted and came over, holding a huge three-layer cake in her hand.

There are various fruits, chocolate, marshmallows on top, and a thick layer of syrup is poured on it.

“Professor Dumbledore really should come to this wedding.” Kyle muttered under his breath.

"What did you just say?" George asked. He was just looking at the cake and didn't hear what Kyle said clearly.

"Nothing." Kyle shook his head, "I just think Dumbledore would like this kind of cake."
