May the world be kind to you

The clear sky made everyone smile a little bit, and the Ministry of Magic was filled with a special joy and lightness everywhere.

"Hey, did you hear? Crabbe's dead!"

"Is that the death eater who slipped through the net? Merlin, does this mean that the war is completely over?"

"I heard he died a terrible death, missing an arm and most of the bones in his body were broken."

"The Dark Lord and his believers have killed so many wizards and Muggles, and they deserve retribution."

"The minister sent a whole team of Aurors to investigate the details, and the truth will be known later."

"It is said that he died yesterday. It is really meaningful to get rid of the last dark forces on Easter!"

"Nine out of ten of this is due to the savior, I really admire him..."

Every employee is discussing this exciting event with great enthusiasm.The arrest of the last Death Eater means that the era of the Dark Lord has come to an end, and the world has ushered in real peace.

"However, I have always wondered why such a memorial room should be set up in the hall, which is both useless and in the way."

"There are dozens of picture frames with only backgrounds hanging inside. I don't know who to commemorate. It feels quite scary."

"Isn't the portrait prepared for the dead? If so many people have died, why doesn't everyone know about it?"

"It was built by Kingsley before the war to boost morale. Now that the war is over, it will be completely dismantled within today..."

"You still have the mind to take care of this, the Aurors who went out are all back!"

The already busy Ministry of Magic immediately became more noisy. Some people were eager to get first-hand information, and some people were envious and jealous but could only stick to their posts. So speculations and debates were buzzing, and groups of people People sometimes blush and sometimes smile knowingly.

It's sunny outside and hot inside.

Although the festival has passed, the world is still happy and beautiful.

"... There were obvious traces of fierce fighting left at the scene. Except for Crabbe's body, only two wands were found. After identification by Ollivander, it can be confirmed that the two wands were made by him himself, one of which belonged to Crabbe, and the other ——" Captain Auror showed the wand to everyone: "The holly wooden staff has a phoenix tail feather core. He remembers that he has never sold it but somehow got left outside. That is to say," he paused for a moment and looked around at everyone in the room: "we There is no way to find its owner or user through the wand."

The atmosphere in the conference room seemed a little depressed.

Everyone celebrated Crabbe's death, but it was strange that no one knew who should take credit for it.

Ollivander never misremembered any wand and its owner, but this holly wand, which should have been lying quietly in the shop, somehow appeared on a cliff hundreds of miles away.

This is really an incredible thing.

Hermione took the holly wood and observed it carefully, and then took out her own wand for comparison: "From the degree of wear and tear, it has been used for at least seven years."

Then the possibility of stealing a wand to kill Crabbe was ruled out-in fact, no normal person should do such an abnormal thing.Kingsley sighed secretly, signaling the captain to continue reporting.

The captain placed the two wands tip to tip on the table and cast a flashback spell on them.Immediately, a large number of translucent video clips popped up from the top of the wand, which truly reproduced the scene of the fierce battle in the form of playback.

The strange thing is that Crabbe's figure is very clear in the video, but the holly user is so blurred that he can't even make out his outline, and his voice is so weak that he can hardly hear him.

There was a lot of exclamation in the conference room.

"Successfully countered the Killing Curse with the Disarming Curse?? I'm afraid Dumbledore wouldn't dare to do that!"

"He cracked all black magic!! Merlin, he can crack all of Fiendfire!!"

"How can he be restrained... no, he can do magic without a stick?!"

The mana is powerful, the Defense Against the Dark Arts is extremely powerful, and she can do magic without a wand.

The characteristics of the owner of Hollywood are so obvious that "he" should be easily found, but...does such a person exist in the magic world?

"Merlin's beard! Could this be the second 'mysterious man'... Uh, when I didn't say it, when I didn't say it..."

Ron touched his nose in embarrassment to avoid everyone's murderous eyes.

He deserved to be stared at for saying such a mindless thing.

"Is there anything else?" Kingsley's voice was a little low.

The captain removed Crabbe's wand leaving only the holly, and the vanished image reappeared.

A Mentos, followed by continuous flying spells, flashing back for more than half an hour and still not stopping.Then the image completely disappears.

Everyone was stunned.

The flashback spell can only flash back a certain number of spells, and the flying spell is not over when the image disappears. They simply can't imagine how many spells "he" used and how long it took to find it.What is so important that "he" must find it?

The disappearance of the images also means that they cannot obtain more information.

Kingsley sighed and ordered the holly wood to be placed in the Department of Mysteries for safekeeping.

I hope to find its owner one day in the future, and then he must get to know this unknown hero with strong spells!

"Ginny, call your brothers down!" Molly yelled angrily, and then muttered complainingly: "Really, you have to ask four times for a meal."

The girl snickered and went to carry out her mother's order, and soon the redheads appeared in the restaurant one after another.

"I'm sorry, Mom." The twins who appeared first hugged one of Molly's shoulders and kissed her on the cheek at the same time: "We are too involved in developing new products."

"Fred just woke up yesterday." Hearing that Molly was a little worried, "don't make him too tired."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fully recovered." Fred patted his arms vigorously to prove that what he said was true: "It's okay to ask me to go to another war now!!"

"Don't!" Passy, ​​who came in afterward, shook his hand with lingering fear: "It's been hard to restore peace, and I don't want to do it again."

"...I think I have lost a lot," Fred said a little angrily, "I was still fighting before I was injured, but after I woke up, everything was over, and I didn't even catch up with the opening of the magic workshop!"

"You have the nerve to say it!" Bill patted his head gently, pretending not to see George throwing a little gadget into a certain cup: "You have been unconscious for a year, do you know Do you know how much your parents have worried about you?"

Fred immediately felt ashamed.

"The most important thing is that you are all healthy and well." Arthur smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, turning to Patsy with anticipation in his eyes: "Is there any result with Crabbe?"

"Cool! It's so cool!!" Ron, who had just entered the restaurant, was the first to admire, pulled out his seat and sat down, and described what he saw and heard in the conference room vividly: "This man is so powerful It’s gone, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is almost unmatched by anyone!”

Everyone was amazed, and the twins whistled at the same time with bright eyes.

"If he also participated in the defense of Hogwarts," Percy muttered to himself, "Neville's title of 'Savior' might change hands."

"Neville? Savior??" Fred asked curiously, "What's going on?"

It's not that he deliberately changed the topic, but anyone who wakes up and finds that the surroundings have become completely unfamiliar will be eager to explore, right?He waited for his family to explain to him with peace of mind.

"After you were injured, although everyone resisted, they still couldn't resist Voldemort leading the Death Eaters to attack Hogwarts." Hermione briefly described the situation to him at the time: "He asked everyone to surrender and serve him. Nah Wei was the first to rush out to call on DA members to resist, cut off Nagini's head, and finally took advantage of the chaos to kill Voldemort."

"That's why he's called the 'Savior'?" Fred whistled again appreciatively: "This kid is really impressive. He was such a timid person before."

"Okay, don't just talk," Molly sat down after serving the main food on the table: "Shall we raise a glass to celebrate?"

As soon as the words fell, the young people cheered and raised their glasses to each other, congratulating Fred on his recovery and celebrating the peace of the world.

"We have a proposal."

The twins looked at their family members with a smile, and tacitly started their unique speaking mode:

"The trick shop has made a lot of money..."

"It's time to expand the Burrow."

"Except for Bill and Fleur..."

"Charlie should have his own room, too."

The Weasleys glanced at each other, immediately opened the chatterbox in agreement and fell into a heated discussion, from the defense of Hogwarts a year ago to Ron Hermione's wedding three months later, from the layout and scale of the expansion of the Burrow to the wedding banquet. guest list.

Seeing that Ginny loudly objected to inviting a certain blonde Slytherin, Arthur criticized her for not attending the Christmas party at Malfoy Manor last year with a straight face, and Ron grabbed his colorful fluorescent hair and yelled, Gemini Compared to the results, Molly Fleur and Hermione discussed the details of the wedding without any interference, while Patsy discussed with Bill a serious matter with a serious face.

The long-lost noisy scene reappeared in the dining room of the Burrow, full of vitality and excitement.

"Arthur Weasley's son is getting married next month," Lucius looked at the invitation in his hand, implying: "I remember he is the same age as you?"

"It's nothing strange, Dad," Draco slowly enjoyed the snacks and black tea prepared by his mother, "Weasley and Granger have been together since they entered school."

"...Then what about you?" Seeing that his son didn't understand his point at all, Lucius simply made it clear: "When do you plan to get married? As the heir of the Malfoy family, even if you are not in a hurry to take over as the head of the family, you should get married as soon as possible .”

Draco's eyes widened in protest: "Dad, I just came of age the year before last!!"

"Your mother and I got married at the age of 18!" Lucius looked at his son very unhappy: "But you don't even have a girlfriend yet!!"

"Before you disliked me for not being a girl," Draco pouted. "Now you dislike me for not having a girlfriend? Dad, when did you hate me so much?"

"...Before, it was to win over the savior, and I also said that Malfoy does not have to be the savior." Lucius glared at him and then at his wife: "How about inviting some suitable young ladies to our house, Sissy? ?”

"I will arrange it as soon as possible," Narcissa nodded approvingly, "I remember that there were a lot of girls at our Christmas party last year. Of course, it is best to choose those who have not yet graduated, so that Xiaolong can have more opportunities after returning to school." Get along with her."

Draco couldn't believe his ears: "Mom, Dad, are you serious?!" He actually fell to the point where he needed a blind date! !

"Your father is right, Xiaolong." Narcissa told her son whether she was joking with her eyes: "Malfoy's future head must have a partner who is good enough to match. Even if you don't want to get married so early, you must at least order first..." Consistent The calm and elegant look completely disappeared after accidentally catching a glimpse of his son's left hand holding the teacup: "...Xiaolong! You're already engaged?!"

Draco was taken aback, and subconsciously followed his mother's line of sight to look at his left hand, only to see a touch of restrained platinum quietly surrounding his middle finger.

"It's ridiculous!" Lucius obviously also saw the dazzling ring, and angrily hit the ground with his cane: "You actually got engaged in private without my consent!! I will never allow this The marriage has come true!!"

"Xiaolong, who is the other party?" Narcissa's expression darkened, "You should know that not just anyone can enter the manor."

Draco didn't respond to his parents immediately, and slowly took off the ring and looked at it carefully.Luxurious platinum material and exquisite workmanship, you can tell at a glance that it must be your own handwriting.His eyes shifted to the faint ring mark on the base of the finger. Maybe the circumference of the ring was just right, or maybe it had become a habit after wearing it for a long time, and he didn't even realize that there was something extra on his hand.

only……

When did he get this ring?And why is it worn on the left middle finger?Draco was very confused by the appearance of the ring, but he did not forget that his parents' anger had not been appeased, so he looked at the Malfoys frankly:

"I'm not engaged. The ring must have been picked up on a whim," he showed his parents the engraving on the inner ring. "It just has the Malfoy crest on it. I don't even remember when."

"That's good." Hearing that his son did not engage in the marriage hastily, Lucius' face softened a lot, and then he frowned slightly and looked at his wife: "But why do I think Draco was indeed engaged? And with...the savior?"

Draco almost spit out the black tea in his mouth.

"Engaged to Longbottom?!! Dad, what are you kidding!!" Draco looked very disgusted and his attitude was very firm: "It is already my limit to invite him to the manor to attend the Christmas party as a friend. I will never There may be a further relationship with him!!"

"That's... Pansy?" Narcissa's expression also looked very hesitant: "I always feel that the other party seems to have short black hair. But isn't she Bryce's fiancee?"

"Mom, Dad, I'm really not engaged," Draco said helplessly, "Don't use other people to test me."

"Is it necessary for me to test it?" Lucius snorted, "Since you are not engaged, you should follow Sissy's arrangement during this period and get in touch with a few more ladies from the family."

"Dad, I..."

"Xiaolong, I remember you said before that you should do your part for the family and take on a responsibility?" Narcissa gently interrupted her son's protest: "Now is the time."

Draco choked hard.His mother, who had always been on his side, actually helped his father plot against him, and he suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

His gloomy gaze shifted to the ring he was playing with casually in his hand, and an inexplicable feeling of reluctance surfaced in his heart to prevent him from throwing it away.

He believed that he had never really been engaged.But for some reason, this thing that should be regarded as good news made him want to reject and resist from the bottom of his heart.

He was sure he didn't like the fact.

dislike it very much.

The sunshine in July is radiant, and golden threads cast golden light on the verdant lawn. The place full of festiveness and joy makes the smiles on everyone's faces brighter and brighter.

Colin excitedly shuttled among the guests with his camera in hand.Ever since he was invited by the Gryffindor Iron Triangle to be a wedding photographer, and then learned that he could have a close contact with the Savior, he has been in a state of excitement. Not only has he learned the magic of instant imaging, he even used it at the wedding scene. He tried his best to capture every wonderful moment.

The shyness flashed across the beautiful face of Hermione in white gauze, the love that could not be concealed in the eyes of the high-spirited Ron when he looked at his wife, the Weasleys and the Grangers hugged each other happily, the Savior Responsibly helping the groom resist the various tricks of young people, chatting with friends and reminiscing about the old days, Tonks kept changing his hair color while holding his son in his arms. Narcissa held Andromeda's head and whispered intimately...

The warm photos and the happy smiles gathered together into a rich happiness that surrounded the entire wedding scene and softened the faces of all the guests.

Countless colorful butterflies are flying in the air, and from time to time, they stop at the dining table at the tip of the branches or on the shoulders of the guests, turning into gorgeous colorful roses, and from time to time the roses turn into colorful butterflies and fly into the sky.

Draco looked at the red rose in his palm trembling a few petals before flying away. Naturally, he thought of the colorful paper cranes on Christmas last year. He admired Brother George for always creating all kinds of surprises, but he was also in a trance. He felt that the dinner in the manor was not just a simple Christmas party, and it seemed that there should be something more important and profound, but he couldn't think of it.

When he was struggling with this elusive feeling, he was tapped on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Gemini.

"I've always wanted to thank you, but I didn't find the opportunity," Fred sincerely extended his hand to him: "Thank you for saving George."

"It's just a coincidence." Draco held it up with a faint smile, just as a butterfly flew by in front of him, he naturally changed the subject: "I thought these were also made of the fluorescent powder from last time, but it doesn't look like ?”

"The light is too bright during the day to see the fluorescent effect..."

"It's not as eye-catching and beautiful as colored magic transforming paper."

"And the fluorescent powder can't be found for some reason..."

"I clearly remember that there are still many left."

Are they in the habit of saying half a sentence each?Draco praised sincerely with some amusement: "Your inventions are really peculiar and interesting. I believe that in time the Magic House will become famous all over the world."

The twins immediately raised a happy smile, and the two brothers seemed to put Draco's shoulders on one side, and sang together in his ear:

"Do you want to be our second investor..."

"A quarter of your monthly profits."

"The first investor's monthly distribution is one-third..."

"We all deposited Garen into Gringotts on time."

"Who is your first investor?" Draco was full of curiosity about that discerning investor: "Why do you want to save it?"

"of course……"

The twins opened their mouths at the same time and wanted to blurt out, but the name suddenly stuck in their throats.They looked at each other and slowly frowned:

"The thousand gold Galleons that opened the shop...who gave it to us?"

"...It can't be the parents who opposed these things the most..."

"...So, who else is around us..."

"Can you take out that much money at once?"

Draco was very speechless. A simple question of his own could make them rack their brains to think hard.The only ones who can forget the investors are the Weasley twins.Just as he was about to say something else to change the subject, the passionate voice of the master of ceremonies resounded loudly on the venue.

"... I invite the best man - Mr. our savior to give a speech! -"

Neville, in formal attire, stood up slowly amidst the applause and faced all the guests, with a shy smile on his loyal face: "Thank you. Please don't call me 'savior', I haven't made any great contributions , This title really makes me very ashamed, but also makes me have a lot of pressure."

The guests responded with warmer applause because of his humility, which in turn aggravated his nervousness, and he was at a loss for what to do. He didn't remember until he saw Luna's encouraging smile and deliberately enlarged and slowed down mouth movements. As a best man, I hurriedly took out a neatly folded card, which caused the guests to laugh up and down.

"Today, Mr. Ron Weasley was lucky enough to be favored by Miss Hermione Granger. I am really very happy to see them supporting each other and loving each other. I am also happy for them. I am honored to be their good friend I have witnessed every detail of their acquaintance and love until today. I am proud of Ron, and I am also very envious of him marrying a good wife. I..."

In the middle of the reading, he suddenly put down those stereotyped congratulatory speeches, and his eyes and tone towards the guests became extremely serious and cautious:

"What I want to say is that Ron is a very good friend. He is loyal, loyal, and considerate. He will support and maintain his brother without hesitation. It is a very lucky thing to be his friend. Here," He turned to look at Ron: "On behalf of all my friends, please allow me to wish you a happy life and a happy life forever."

Ron hugged him tightly.

There was thunderous applause, and everyone raised their wine glasses to send the most sincere blessings to the couple.The young people coaxed the bride to quickly enter the next link. Hermione took a few steps forward and turned her back to everyone, throwing the bouquet in her hand back forcefully.

The girls stretched their arms and rushed forward, but the bouquet fell into Luna's arms over the heads of the crowd.Pansy laughed and protested that it would be unreasonable for her to be the first to get engaged if she got married but to fall behind everyone else. Di Ansimo hooked Neville's shoulder and whispered to him while looking at Luna who was blushing.Laughing, joking, wishing and teasing made the atmosphere of the wedding to the highest point.

"You are all going to return to Hogwarts in September," the twins' brains flashed, and they suggested briskly, "Why don't you take this opportunity to take a family photo?"

These words immediately got everyone's response, and they flocked to the newcomers and surrounded them with them as the center.In addition to Gryffindor, there were several Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, and even Draco was forcibly pulled over by Pansy reluctantly.

"Everyone look at me!" Colin kept adjusting the angle of the camera in order to capture the perfect background, and then used a tripod to fix the camera that was set to shoot automatically: "One! - Two! - Three !—”

At the same time as the last number was called out, Ron kissed Hermione on the cheek, Neville took Luna's hand, the twins rushed into the frame suddenly but couldn't stop slamming into each other, Pansy held her hand As Bryce held the indifferent Draco tightly with one hand to prevent him from leaving, Colin just ran to Neville's side and turned his head halfway, when the flashlight was already on——

"Crack!"

Fixed on this.
