Chapter 415 Proposal(1/2)
"In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Connelly Fudge confirmed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned to the country and is operating again.
"I must confirm with great regret that the wizard who calls himself the Demon King... Huh... you know who I am talking about. He - he has been resurrected from the dead and returned to our midst." Fudge said, he was facing
"It is with almost equal regret that we report that there has been a collective uprising among the Dementors in Azkaban, who have expressed their intention to no longer be employed by the Ministry of Magic. We have reason to believe that the Dementors are currently in
Serving that devil. We strongly urge those in the wizarding community to remain vigilant. The Ministry of Magic is publishing a guide to basic defense for families and individuals, which will be sent free to all wizarding families next month.'
The Minister's statement caused annoyance and panic among the wizarding community, who had received assurances from the Ministry of Magic three weeks ago that the persistent rumors that mysterious people were operating among us again were sheer nonsense.
Now it seems that what our minister said before is truly nonsense.
I believe everyone must be very curious about why the Ministry of Magic changed its attitude so suddenly. Regarding this question, our Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, refused to answer, but we still know the answer from the current Director of the Auror Office, Mr. Scrimgeour.
'Just last Tuesday night, the person who must not even be named and a large number of elite Death Eaters broke into the Ministry of Magic. Their purpose was very clear, which was a powerful magical item we hid in the Department of Mysteries.
' Scrimgeour said with a very tough attitude, 'But we were informed of their action in advance and dispatched Aurors. After a great battle, we successfully repelled the one who cannot even be named.
People have won. Yes, victory, this is a complete victory. In fact, except for the man who must not even be named and a very few lucky ones, the entire Death Eater army was almost wiped out by us. So please give me a thumbs up
Don't worry, our Aurors and Strikers are powerful enough to protect the safety of our people. Next we...'
The above is Director Scrimgeour's speech. We agree with Director Scrimgeour's suggestion, because no matter from every aspect, he is currently more suitable to become the leader of the Ministry of Magic than Connery Fudge.
In addition, not long ago, the Ministry of Magic officially dropped all charges against Albus Dumbledore, and reinstated him as the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a member of the International Federation of Wizards and a member of the Wizengamot.
The position and reputation of the teacher.
Over the past year, he has insisted that the mysterious man is not dead as people generally hope and believe, but is recruiting followers again, preparing to usurp power again. We have reason to believe that in the coming days, magic will
The Ministry will defeat the mysterious man again with his cooperation, just like..."
"That's total nonsense!"
Black's loud shout interrupted Hermione's reading and shocked everyone in the ward, including the injured Lupine, who was lying on the bed unable to move.
At this time, they were in a ward of St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic. As the newspaper said, Dumbledore had been restored to all his official positions and positions, and Dumbledore, who had regained his power, was not idle either.
, he transferred Lupine to St. Mungo's almost immediately and became Black's neighbor to receive better treatment. Then he rushed back to Hogwarts before the students went to bed to tell the students who had finished the exam.
Expressed congratulations.
This move of course caused a sensation among all the students at Hogwarts, and even the professors who were originally serious had smiles on their faces.
Mike and others immediately applied to Dumbledore to visit Lupin, and Dumbledore naturally agreed happily.
However, because there was still a lot of work to be done, Dumbledore himself was not present at today's visit.
This did not affect Lupine's good mood. Lupine also missed Harry, the son of his old friend, very much.
No way, Harry and his father were so similar when they were young. Every time they saw Harry, they had the illusion that James was still alive.
When we looked back into the ward, Lupine was startled by Black's sudden shout, and his whole body shook violently.
Immediately, a look of pain appeared on his face. There was no doubt that the action just now must have touched his wound.
All of a sudden everyone in the ward became nervous, except Mike.
At this moment, Mike was looking down in thought.
According to common sense, this report should have been released the day after the Ministry of Magic was invaded, but now it has been delayed for so long.
But it’s not surprising. After this incident, a huge storm was bound to erupt within the Ministry of Magic, and this time it happened to coincide with the important event of the Hogwarts exam season.
Therefore, in order to allow candidates to take exams with peace of mind, and to free up time to deal with internal battles, the Ministry of Magic may have deliberately suppressed public opinion.
At this time, Tonks on the side asked about Lupin's situation nervously. After confirming that it was nothing serious, she rolled her eyes at Black and complained:
"The patient needs rest! Blake!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Hehe!" Black, who was wearing a hospital gown like Lupin, laughed twice before continuing to complain in a low voice, "I'm just so angry that those morons from the Ministry of Magic actually took all the credit for their hard work.
It’s all on me! We must know that we are the real heroes!”
"Yes! You are really a great hero!" Tonks sarcastically said, "If it weren't for you being kidnapped, Remus's hands wouldn't be..."
"That's enough, Tonks." Lupine suddenly interrupted Tonks, "This is not Black's fault!"
Hearing this, Tonks's eyes instantly turned red. She lowered her head and remained silent, but her eyes kept looking at Lupine's obviously empty sleeve.
The atmosphere in the ward instantly became a little depressing. Harry and Hermione were silent, not even daring to express their feelings.
Blake on the side also lowered his head, looking very disappointed.
After a while, Black raised his head, looked at Lupine guiltily and said:
"Remus, Nymphadora said..."
"Don't call me that name! (Nymphadora is a strange combination of words that means it's unfriendly to women, so Tonks doesn't like this name)"
Tonks' hysterical scream interrupted Black's words. The latter's breathing became faster, but he did not get angry after all, and continued:
"Well, what she said is actually right. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been kidnapped..."
"Don't say such things!" Lupine said with a serious expression, "The reason why I lost my arm was entirely because I committed suicide. But I don't regret it at all, because I killed that damn Fenrir.
That’s enough!”
Black immediately took a breath of air as soon as these words came out. As a good friend of Lupine, he naturally knew about the grudge between Lupine and Fenrir.
But Mike next to him glanced secretly, thinking that if he hadn't arrived in time, Lupine, a weakling, would have been tortured to death by Fenrir.
However, Mike is not an idiot with low emotional intelligence. In the current environment, he did not expose Lupine's bragging in front of his friends and girlfriend, but agreed with a smile:
"This is a gratifying thing."
Lupine was obviously relieved by Mike's words, and Black and Tonks also had rare smiles on their faces at the same time.
But Mike hadn't finished speaking yet. He continued:
"But I think this is not the best news. The best news is that you will retire after success and will soon marry the beautiful lady in front of you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lupin's and Tonks's faces turned red, and Tonks' hair instantly turned pink.
"You're actually getting married!"
Black looked at Lupine in disbelief. He didn't know the outcome of Mike's negotiation with Dumbledore.
"Actually, it's because I was injured this time, so Dumbledore wanted me to retire early and go back to my hometown to spend the rest of my life." Lu Ping said, "But I think I can continue to work, so I don't really want to retire.
.As for the marriage, well..."
Lupine hesitated for a long time without saying anything, and Tonks's expression began to look lost, and the pink color in her hair slowly faded away.
Seeing this, Mike felt bad. Knowing that the matter must not be delayed, Mike made a decisive decision and said bluntly:
"Don't you like Tonks?"
"No! No!"
Lupine answered eagerly, which made the corners of Mike's mouth rise.
"Then why don't you want to marry Tonks?"
Hearing this, Black, Harry and others had expressions of confusion on their faces. Among them, Harry and Hermione felt that Tonks and Lupine were a match made in heaven.
As for Black, he simply thought that with Lupin's status, it would be great if a woman was willing to marry him, so what else could he choose?
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Ping slowly lowered his head, and after a while, he said in an inaudible voice:
"I...I'm too old."
"I do not care!"
Before Mike could continue to ask, Tonks on the side eagerly gave the answer, which made Hermione's eyes start to shine.
"You don't understand, you are still young." Lu Ping still lowered his head and said, "You deserve better, do you understand?"
"No, in my opinion you are the best!"
Facing Tonks' hysterical screams, Lupine raised his head sharply. His expression looked very complicated, as if he was shocked that Tonks was so stubborn, but also seemed to be moved.
Finally, Lupine couldn't bear it any longer. He stared at Tonks with red eyes and roared:
"Don't you understand? I am a werewolf! You and I will not be happy together! Think about it, if we get married, then I will most likely transmit the virus to you, and the children we will give birth to in the future will also be infected.
It will be a werewolf! This is unfair to the child, I will definitely..."
"I do not care!"
Tonks interrupted Lupine again and looked at the stunned Lupine, raising her chin slightly. Although tears kept rolling in her eyes, her expression was as proud as that of a general who had given the enemy a fatal blow.
.
Her expression seemed to be asking Lupine, "What else do you have to say?"
"Ha!" Lupine seemed to be irritated by Tonks' stubbornness. He laughed, spread out his remaining hand and said, "I am a poor man, you will definitely regret marrying me! You bastard
stupid……"
"I have money!"
Lupine was interrupted again, but this time it was not Tonks who spoke, but Mike, who had been watching from the side.
I saw him slowly coming to the bedside, looking down at Lu Ping and smiling:
To be continued...
