Chapter 1124 Before the Storm(2/2)
"By the way Diggory, when will you and Qiu get married?" Fred suddenly asked.
"Well..." Digory's cheeks turned red and he stammered, "It's too early to get married now."
"It's getting late, don't you think Albert is about to get married." Fred said with a smile, "Maybe you can consider getting engaged first. Well, then you can ask me to be the best man."
"Let's talk about it then. Which of you will be Albert's best man?" Digory noticed the way Qiu looked at him, and quickly reached out to grab Qiu's hand, and began to think about the engagement.
"Two of you together?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'll guess the game when the time comes, or I'll give you this important task." Fred changed the subject and asked, "How many more are there yet?"
"It should be almost there, there's still half an hour left."
"Have you seen Dumbledore?" George looked around but did not see Dumbledore. "I think we should discuss it with him. Albert said that Dumbledore will take us to France."
"Are you going abroad?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Yes, it's not safe to stay in the UK. You should have read yesterday's newspaper."
"But how do we get to France, using the portkey?"
"I don't think so." George pointed to the old people over there and said, "They are not suitable for such trouble. Maybe they can use boxes to transfer, which may be more convenient and less likely to be noticed."
"Anyway, let's take a roll call first to determine how many people are here. I'll ask Professor McGonagall to see what's going on with Dumbledore."
When Lee Jordan went to count the people, Fred ran to Hagrid to borrow a basin, and George quickly greeted Professor McGonagall who was walking towards them.
"Professor, do you know where Professor Dumbledore went?" George asked straight to the point.
"I don't know, what's wrong?" Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully.
"Albert told us that Dumbledore would take us to the wedding venue." George explained, "That's why everyone gathered at Hogwarts."
"If Anderson has given instructions, Dumbledore should be here soon. I think he may have gone to the Ministry of Magic first." Professor McGonagall looked around and found that there were quite a few invited guests, including many from the past.
colleague.
"Long time no see Minerva." Slughorn greeted Professor McGonagall with a smile, "Where is Dumbledore?"
"Oh, old man, I didn't expect you to actually go to the wedding." Dumbledore and a group of elderly people came over here.
"He said the wedding was safe." Slughorn gave Dumbledore a hug, "To be honest, I was frightened by yesterday's newspaper and hesitated for a long time this morning."
"Don't worry, it's very safe over there. I heard that they used the Fidelity Charm on the manor to ensure that no one else can break in except the invited people." Dumbledore put down the suitcase in his hand and turned to ask George.
, "Is everyone here?"
"Lee Jordan is doing a head count," George explained. "I'm going to go find him to confirm this."
"There are still a few people who haven't come yet."
After a while, Lee Jordan came to Dumbledore with a note and said, "This is the invitation list from the UK."
"I think they are probably not in the UK. Let everyone else come over. It's time for us to set off." After Dumbledore opened the box, he opened a door that went downwards.
"Professor, before that, we need to ask everyone to wash their faces. It can help us determine whether someone has taken the compound potion to disguise themselves or is controlled by the Imperius Curse."
Fred conjured a wooden chair and placed a basin on it, while George took out a bottle of golden potion and sprinkled it into the water.
"What potion is this?" Slughorn asked curiously.
"I don't know. Albert said that this potion can wash away most of the curses and magical disguises. Even if you are hit by the Imperius Curse, you will have abnormal reactions." George reached out to stir the basin and took the lead in taking the water and rubbing it.
own cheeks.
"What an amazing invention." Slughorn sighed softly: "If this potion can lift the Imperius Curse."
"I don't know. I'm afraid you have to ask Albert."
"Okay, everyone, come here. After washing your face, go inside. I will take you to France." Dumbledore pointed to the stairs going down and explained.
To be honest, being called by Albert to help made him feel helpless. Fortunately, Albert also agreed to tell him some useful news in return.
