"Are you free tonight?"

As soon as he heard Dumbledore's words, Mike stopped pouring wine in his hand.

This time he did not continue to drink regardless of it like last time, but decisively put down the bottle in his hand, frowned and looked at Dumbledore and asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

"I seem to have found some clues about Horcruxes." Dumbledore picked up the red wine that Mike put down and poured himself a glass. "And since you have quite a lot of experience in destroying Horcruxes, I plan to invite

You go with me tonight."

"Let me guess, you found Chris, right?"

Dumbledore took a sip of red wine and shook his head slightly without speaking.

Seeing this, Mike couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, because he had already guessed that the Horcrux Dumbledore said he found should be the Gaunt ring made of the Resurrection Stone!

However, in the original book, Dumbledore went alone, so why did he invite himself this time?

Is it really just because he has rich experience in removing souls as he said?

Mike actually fell into deep thought for a moment.

However, Dumbledore obviously did not intend to give Mike too much time to think. He drank the red wine in the glass in a few sips, then looked at Mike's slightly troubled expression and said:

"It seems like you are not willing to go. Then forget it, this matter is indeed a bit too dangerous for you."

After saying this, Dumbledore turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Mike's voice put a smile on the face of Dumbledore, who had turned around. He stopped and turned to look at Mike again.

"Phew!" Mike exhaled heavily and said with some evil humor, "I think I have more say in the matter of destroying Horcruxes, so I'd better go with you, otherwise I might

You will be seriously injured!"

Dumbledore didn't pay much attention to Mike's somewhat naughty words. He laughed for a while, clinked glasses to Mike and turned around to leave.

It wasn't until Dumbledore had gone far away that his voice rang in Mike's ear.

"At 8 o'clock tonight, we will gather at the gate of the manor after the wedding."

Mike raised his eyebrows and continued to think about Dumbledore's purpose of inviting him to go with him. At the same time, his right hand instinctively reached for the glass of red wine he had left.

However, he missed the opportunity. It was only at this time that he realized that his wine had been taken away by Dumbledore!

…

Apart from the somewhat 'simple' etiquette, everything about Lupine and Tonks' wedding went smoothly. After the host announced that the two were officially husband and wife, the whole wedding officially started.

All the tables and chairs originally placed in the garden were removed by the staff and replaced with pure white dining tables, with a variety of pre-prepared wines and delicacies placed on them.

These were all arranged by Mike. In addition to these, there were two house elves on the lawn not far away cooking barbecue. There were a large number of musical instruments piled beside them. At this time, these musical instruments

The magic applied above has been completely triggered, and they slowly float in the air one by one and start playing on their own.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cheerful. Ron, who had not eaten anything since getting up in the morning, couldn't bear it anymore. He screamed and rushed towards the dining table piled with food.

Looking at Ron's messy appearance with chicken legs and steak in one hand, the two Weasley brothers closed their eyes in pain. Mike felt that if they could, they would definitely want to dye their hair black, because then they could pretend

Tsukuru no longer recognizes Ron.

As Ron's best friend, Harry obviously wanted to join this 'battle', but unfortunately, Black beside him was holding his shoulders firmly, which made his plan to fight alongside Ron disappear.

Dead in the belly.

At the same time, as today's protagonists, Lupine and Tonks also walked off the platform and entered the feast.

Black, who had been restraining Harry just now to prevent him from being rude, returned to his true nature after seeing Lupine, and began to grab Lupine and drink like crazy.

Perhaps because he was afraid that he would not be able to get Lupine drunk by himself, he even roped in two brothers, George and Fred!

Seeing how enthusiastic they were drinking, Mr. Weasley was also greedy, but the glances from Mrs. Weasley not far away from time to time still made him give up the idea.

There is no way, George and Fred's hospitality in France has completely conquered Mrs. Weasley, and now the two brothers and Mr. Weasley are not treated in the same way at home!

On the other side, Tonks was not idle either.

At this time, she was holding Hermione and Mrs. Weasley aside to talk. Due to the distance, no one could hear the content of their conversation.

But judging from Hermione's crimson face and her glance at Mike in the distance from time to time, it should be a pink topic.

The banquet lasted from afternoon to night, and after a whole afternoon of fighting, Black's goal was achieved - Lupine was drunk and turned into a dead dog, which could not be woken up even if he barked!

However, the Black and Weasley brothers are not feeling well either. At this moment, they are not much better than Lupine.

The drunk Lupine and the Weasley brothers were helped into the room to rest by Mrs. Weasley and Tonks as soon as the banquet ended.

As for Black, I don’t know if it was in retaliation for him forcing the Weasley brothers and Lupin to drink. Mrs. Weasley and Tonks instinctively ignored him, which led to him being alone after the banquet.

Lying on the lawn.

Mike understood this very well, after all, Black ruined Tonks and Lupin's wedding night!

However, he didn't lie down for long. Soon, Harry, who was full, discovered the miserable condition of his godfather, so he used magic to send him into the villa with his stretched belly.

At this point, the wedding of Lupine and Tonks was successfully concluded, and at this time, Mike and Dumbledore also met quietly at the gate of the manor.

"Good evening, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Mike, wearing a pure black combat uniform, greeted Dumbledore in front of him.

"Oh, good evening."

Dumbledore looked at Mike's combat uniform with a strange look. You must know that the weather tonight is just as good as during the day. The bright white crescent moon hangs high in the sky, casting bright moonlight downwards.

With its help, tonight is a little brighter than usual.

Originally, in such an environment, pure black clothes would not only fail to conceal your whereabouts, but would make them more obvious.

But that's not the case with Mike's combat uniform. It seems to have a strange magic power that distorts the surrounding light, making Mike's whole person look hazy.

Noticing Dumbledore's eyes, Mike pulled his clothes and joked:

"Do you want it? I still have some left, so I can give you one."

"Really?" Dumbledore's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile, "Thank you very much, my size is..."

Looking at Dumbledore who excitedly started telling him his size, Mike's expression was a little dull.

All conscience, he was really joking just now!

In his opinion, combat uniforms should be just a dispensable toy for a wizard of Dumbledore's level, and would have no effect at all!

I didn't expect Dumbledore to be so playful!

"Ahem! Okay, I understand." Mike coughed to cover up his embarrassment, then changed the subject and said, "Well, it's getting late, shouldn't we set off?"

"Oh! Look at my memory! Let's go now."

Dumbledore said as if he suddenly understood, and then stretched out his hand to Mike.

Looking at Dumbledore's big wrinkled hands, Mike hesitated for a moment and finally reached out to grab them.

"Are you ready?" Dumbledore said with a smile, "Apparate!"

As Dumbledore chanted the curse, a twisted black hole quietly appeared and sucked both Mike and Dumbledore in!

At the same time, a similar black hole appeared on a hillside thousands of miles away. With a crackling sound, two figures suddenly appeared in the open space!

It has to be said that Dumbledore has very advanced knowledge in Apparition and Apparition. After landing, Mike didn't feel any discomfort at all.

However, this did not make Mike relax his vigilance. On the contrary, Mike took out the blackthorn wand as soon as he got down to earth and began to observe the surrounding environment.

With the help of the moonlight, Mike could clearly see that he was on a hillside. Mike instinctively felt that something was wrong.

You must know that it is July now, which is when all things grow.

Normally, a hillside like this should have been covered with various trees.

But now there are no trees on this hillside, not even a blade of grass. The entire hillside is completely silent, which makes people feel strongly uneasy.

Mike clenched the wand in his hand again and slowly raised his head.

As soon as he raised his head, a deserted and dilapidated villa appeared in front of him.

Mike's pupils shrank sharply, and he said to himself almost instinctively:

"Gaunt's old house!"

As soon as he said this, Dumbledore, who was still looking at Mike with a smile, immediately became serious. He frowned deeply and asked:

"You know this place?"

"Of course!" Mike, who was well aware that he had spilled the beans, did not panic at all and explained, "The place where Voldemort was resurrected was nearby, and I also investigated this place afterwards. Look, it's that cemetery!"

Following the direction that Mike pointed, Dumbledore saw the cemetery full of scorched earth, and the expression on his face finally looked better.

Seeing this, Mike quickly changed the subject and said:

"You brought me here because you think Voldemort has a Horcrux hidden in this house?"

"That's right."
