Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 415 Proposal
"In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Connelly Fudge confirmed that the man who must not even be named has returned to the country and is operating again.

'I have to confirm with great regret that the sorcerer who calls himself the Demon Lord... Phew...you know who I'm talking about.He—he has died and risen, and is back among us. said Fudge, looking exhausted as he confronted reporters, "it is with almost equal regret that we report a mass riot by the dementors of Azkaban, who have expressed their unwillingness to continue to be employed by the Ministry of Magic."We have reason to believe that the Dementors are currently serving the Lord.We strongly urge those in the wizarding world 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 three weeks ago that the persistent rumors of mysterious beings operating among us were pure nonsense.

Now it seems that what our minister said before is the real nonsense.

I believe everyone must be very curious about why the Ministry of Magic changed its attitude so suddenly. For this question, our Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, refused to answer, but we still know the answer from Mr. Scrimgeour, the current director of the Auror Office.

'Just last Tuesday night, that man who can't even mention his name and a large group of elite Death Eaters broke into the Ministry of Magic. Their purpose is very clear, which is a powerful magic item we hide in the Department of Mysteries. ' said Scrimgeour, very forcefully, 'but we knew of their move in advance, and sent out the Aurors.After a great battle, we successfully repelled the man who could not even be named and won.Yes, a victory, a total victory.In fact, except for the man who can't even mention his name and a few lucky ones, the entire Death Eater army was almost wiped out by us.So please rest assured that our Aurors and strikers are powerful enough to protect the safety of our people's statement, and then we...'

The above is Director Scrimgeour's speech. We agree with Director Scrimgeour's suggestion, because no matter from which point of view, he is more suitable to be the leader of the Ministry of Magic than Connery Fudge at present.

In addition, not long ago, the Ministry of Magic officially dropped all the charges against Albus Dumbledore, and restored him, including the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, a member of the International Federation of Wizards and the Wizengamot who is familiar with magic. Teacher's position and reputation.

For the past year, he has insisted that You-Know-Who is not dead, as is widely hoped and believed, but is recruiting an entourage to usurp power once again.We have reason to believe that in the days to come, the Ministry of Magic will once again defeat the Mysterious Man with his cooperation, just like..."

"It's just nonsense!"

Black's loud shout interrupted Hermione's reading aloud, and also shocked everyone in the ward, including the wounded Lupine who was lying on the bed and couldn't move.

At this time, they were in a ward of St. Mungo's Magical Hospital. As the newspaper said, Dumbledore was restored to all official positions and positions, and Dumbledore, who had regained his rights, was not idle , he transferred Lupine to St. Mungo's as Black's neighbor almost immediately to receive better treatment, and then returned to Hogwarts before the students went to bed, and greeted the students who had finished their exams. expressed congratulations.

This move certainly caused a sensation among all the students at Hogwarts, and even the professors who were originally serious had smiles on their faces.

And Mike and others immediately made an application to Dumbledore to visit Lupine, and Dumbledore naturally readily agreed.

However, because there is still a lot of work to be done, Dumbledore himself was not present at today's visit.

This didn't affect Lupine's good mood. For Harry, the son of his old friend, Lupine also missed Harry very much.

No way, Harry and his father were so much alike when they were young, every time they saw Harry, they had the illusion that James was still alive.

Let's look back at the ward, Lupine was taken aback by Black's sudden outburst, and his whole body shook violently.

Immediately, a look of pain appeared on his face. There is no doubt that the action just now must have touched his wound.

All of a sudden, the rest of the people in the ward became nervous, except Mike.

At this moment, Mike was bowing his head 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 this is not surprising. After experiencing this incident, a huge storm is bound to erupt inside the Ministry of Magic, and this time it just happened to hit the important event of the Hogwarts exam season.

Therefore, in order to allow candidates to take the exam with peace of mind, and to free up time to deal with internal strife, the Ministry of Magic is likely to deliberately suppress public opinion.

At this time, Tonks asked about Lupine's situation nervously, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he rolled his eyes at Black and complained:

"Patients need to rest! Blake!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Hehe!" Black, who was wearing a hospital gown like Lupine, sneered a few times before continuing to complain in a low voice, "I'm just so angry that those moths from the Ministry of Magic took all the credit They are all on my body! You must know that we are the real heroes!"

"Yeah! You are such a great hero!" Tonks sneered, "If you weren't kidnapped, Remus' hand wouldn't be..."

"Enough, Tonks." Lupine interrupted Tonks suddenly, "This is not Black's fault!"

Hearing this, Tonks' eyes turned red instantly. 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, and the three of Harry and Hermione were silent, not even daring to breathe.

On the other hand, Black also lowered his head, looking very disappointed.

After a long while, Black raised his head, looked at Lupine guiltily and said:

"Remus, Nymphadora said..."

"Don't call me by that name! (Nymphadora is a strange combination of words that means unfriendly to women, so Tonks doesn't like this name)"

Tonks' hysterical screams interrupted Black's words. The latter's breathing became a little short, but he didn't get angry after all, and continued:
"Well, she's 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 is because I killed myself. But I don't regret it at all, because I killed that damn Fenrir. Enough already!"

As soon as this remark came out, Black sucked in a breath of air. As Lupine's good friend, he naturally knew the grudge between Lupine and Fenrir.

But Mike at the side glanced at his mouth secretly, thinking that if he hadn't arrived in time, Lupine, a weak chicken, would have been tortured and killed by Fenrir.

It's just that Mike is not an idiot with low emotional intelligence. In the current environment, he didn't expose Lupine's bragging in front of his friends and girlfriend, but echoed with a smile:
"This deserves to be 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 didn't finish his sentence, he went on to say:

"But I don't think this is the best news. The best news should be that you have retired and are about to marry this beautiful lady in front of you!"

As soon as these words came out, Lupine's and Tonks' faces flushed red, and Tonks' hair instantly turned pink.

"You are going to get married!"

Black looked at Lupine in disbelief, he didn't know the result of the negotiations between Mike and Dumbledore.

"Actually because I was injured this time, Dumbledore wanted me to retire early and go back to my hometown to spend the rest of my life." Lupine said, "But I think I can continue to work, so I don't really want to retire .As for the marriage, uh..."

Lupine hesitated and hawed for a long time without saying anything, while Tonks' expression on the side began to become disappointed, and the pink color on his hair was slowly receding.

Seeing this, Mike Dunn felt bad. Knowing that this 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 twitch up.

"Then why don't you want to marry Tonks?"

It was said that Black, Harry and the others had puzzled expressions on their faces, among which Harry and Hermione felt that Tonks and Lupine were a match made in heaven.

As for Blake, he simply thought that with Lupine's status, it would be good if a woman was willing to marry him, so what else would 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 continued to ask, Tonks on the side couldn't wait to give the answer first, which made Hermione's eyes on the side start to light up.

"You don't understand, you are still young." Lupine said still with his head down, "You deserve better, understand?"

"No, you are the best in my opinion!"

Faced with Tonks's hysterical screams, Lupine raised his head abruptly. 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 anymore, he stared at Tonks with red eyes and shouted angrily:
"Don't you understand? I'm a werewolf! You won't be happy with me! Think about it, if we get married, then I may infect you with the virus, and the children we will have in the future will also It's going to be a werewolf! It's not fair to the kids, I absolutely..."

"I do not care!"

Tonks interrupted Lupin again, looking at the stunned Lupine, with his chin raised slightly, although the tears in his eyes kept swirling, but his expression was proud like a general who gave the enemy a fatal blow .

Her expression seemed to be asking Lupine 'what else can you say'.

"Ha!" Seemingly irritated by Tonks' stubbornness, Lupine let out a big laugh, spreading out his remaining hand and laughing, "I'm a poor man, you will regret marrying me! You 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 sidelines.

I saw him slowly coming to the hospital bed, looking down at Lu Ping with a smile and saying:
"I have money! Your wedding will be arranged by the Los Santos Group. I can guarantee that it will definitely be a grand wedding that cannot be added!"

As soon as these words came out, both Lupine and Tonks were stunned, and Black at the side finally came to his senses, got up quickly and said:
"I'm rich too! There are still many properties under the name of the Black family, and I can choose one as your wedding gift!"

The tears in Tonks' eyes finally flowed down. She cried and said words of thanks, then turned around and knelt down on one knee towards Lupine on the hospital bed and said sincerely:
"Remus, I love you, will you marry me?"

Lupine was taken aback by Tonks' actions. He looked at Tonks in surprise, and was speechless for a moment.

Hermione and the others on the side stared straight at her, especially Hermione, who seemed almost moved to tears.

Mike and Black covered their mouths with their hands.

Don't get me wrong, it's not because they're also moved to tears.

It's because they want to use this method to cover up the smile on their faces that they can't hold back.

Yes, both of them were laughing silly.

A woman proposing to a man would be news enough to make the local tabloids in later life, let alone now.

Soon Lupine recovered from the shock. He looked at Tonks with red eyes, and said slowly:

"I should have asked you to marry me."

"You agree?"

Tonksten stood up suddenly, looking at Lupine in disbelief.

The latter originally wanted to argue again about which of the two of them should propose to whom, but before he could speak, Tonks threw himself into his arms.

This huge movement instantly made Lupine cry out in pain.

"Oh! Oh, sorry! Sorry!"

Tonks bounced away from Lupine's arms faster than before, bowing his head and apologizing over and over again.

But when she raised her head again, her eyes met Lupine's.

A blush quietly floated on the cheeks of the two of them, they instinctively looked away, and couldn't help but look at each other again after a while.

Seeing the embarrassment of the two of them, Mike and the others showed gratified smiles on their faces.

Blake on the side let out a long breath.

But at this moment, loud applause came from the door of the ward.

Everyone instinctively heard the reputation and saw a group of nurses and patients next door had already gathered at the door. They all had red eyes, smiling at Lupine and Tonks while clapping.

Seeing Mike and the others looking at them, the leading middle-aged nurse explained:|
"Sorry, you were too loud before, so we came to check the situation. But now it seems...we can only congratulate you!"

After saying that, the rest of the people around also opened their mouths to congratulate Lupine.

As for Lupine and Tonks on the hospital bed, they were shy and at a loss for a long time.
