Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 640 Wedding

Three days later, Penello's long-awaited day finally arrived.

This time her and Mike's wedding venue was set on the Hogwarts campus.

This is an extremely rare decision, because Hogwarts is a very special existence for wizards in the entire country. Generally speaking, no one would dare to hold a wedding here, and there would be no The principal agreed to this request of others.

But this common sense is different when it comes to Mike.

You must know that Mike is now the most powerful person in Europe, and the current headmaster of Hogwarts is also his teacher. As long as Professor Flitwick nods, no one outside will dare to have any opinions.

The reason why Mike finally chose Hogwarts as the wedding venue is very simple.

This is the place where Mike and Penello met for the first time. Mike and Penello always believed that if they chose to get married here, it would give the wedding a more special commemorative meaning.

In addition, Mike also considered the political significance of the wedding.

Now the Ministry of Magic of the country is launching a large-scale talent introduction plan, of which international students are a very important part.

As the Minister of Magic, his wedding will inevitably attract a large number of social celebrities and upper-class nobles. At that time, he can show off the teaching staff of Hogwarts and make an admissions advertisement.

Of course, Mike will never tell Penello about this meaning, which will make this wedding no longer pure.

The exact time for the wedding ceremony was set at dusk, so Mike arrived at Hogwarts with his best man team in the afternoon of the same day, and began to check the relevant equipment that was basically ready in Hogwarts .

These include bouquets, corsages, flower baskets, petals, bands, on-site decorations, food, fairies, etc. that need to be used in the wedding.

I have to say that getting married is indeed an extremely complicated matter, which is the same in almost all places in the world, even wizards are no exception.

Fortunately, Mike is relatively rich, which saves him from spending too much experience on these preparations.

And while Mike and others were working in Hogwarts, Penello and her bridesmaids were also busy in the secret territory of the Freemasonry.

Compared with the extensive preparation work that the men need to do, the women only need to dress themselves well and don't be late.

But it wasn't easy either.

Because the dresses and makeup that need to be used at the wedding are too complicated.

It was only in the afternoon that Mike rushed to Hogwarts to inspect the scene, but Penello and her bridesmaids have been busy since the early morning.

It is also worth mentioning that Penello's parents were also taken to the secret territory of the Masonic Society by Mike, and they are accompanying Penello at the moment.

Penello's father is a lumberjack with a strong build, a hot temper and a habit of drinking, but fortunately, he has no habit of domestic violence, so it's not too bad.

As for her mother, she is a full-time mother.

It's a pity that with only one child, Penello, the work of a full-time mother is obviously too leisurely.

Coupled with Penello's father's neglect of her all the year round, this caused Penello's mother to often go outside to find comfort.

Such a combination of parents and her family are relatively poor, so the relationship between Penello and her parents is actually not very good. This can be seen from the fact that she never returned home once she became capable.

However, Mike puts more emphasis on relatives, so although he knew that Penello and his parents were not good people, he still insisted on inviting them to be present.

Penello's parents were naturally very happy about this. After all, although they didn't understand what the Minister of Magic was, they at least knew the fact that their daughter married a powerful and rich man.

And Penello's feelings are a bit complicated.

On the one hand, she would be dissatisfied if Mike didn't invite her parents, but now that Mike invited her, she was a little worried and uncomfortable.

After all, she knows exactly what her parents are like.

However, Penello's thoughts and Mike didn't care about it. At this moment, he had checked all the equipment, and as time went by, the guests had already entered the venue one after another.

The invitation letter sent by Mike this time is very comprehensive, ranging from all the teachers and students of Hogwarts and his friends, to all kinds of powerful nobles in the country and the ministers of the Ministry of Magic of various European countries. Invitation letter with portkey.

The first of these guests was, of course, Sirius Black, Lupine and Tonks.

Just as Mike made the preparations, Black and the others had already stepped into the auditorium.

"Mike, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Happy Newlyweds!"

As soon as they saw Mike, the three of them expressed their congratulations to Mike.

It's just that compared to the solemnity of Lupine and Tonks, Black's expression was a little absent-minded.

Mike naturally knew what he was thinking, he just missed Harry, so he shook his head and said to Black:

"Harry is still doing voluntary labor, and he won't be here until the wedding begins."

"Volunteer labor?" Black frowned first, and then his eyes lit up, "Maybe I can help him do it together!"

Mike shrugged and said:

"Whatever you want, Professor Flitwick is in his old office, and I'm fine with that if he agrees."

"Then I'll go right away!"

After saying that, Black trotted out of the auditorium.

And after seeing off Blake, Mike finally had time to receive the Lupines well.

At this time, both of them were wearing formal clothes. Mike didn't have much research on clothes, but these clothes looked quite new, and the fabrics were also good. They should have been custom-made.

This also shows that the financial situation of the Lupine couple after marriage is not bad.

This made Mike very gratified. The reason why he separated Lupine and Tonks from the series of related matters was to change their fate, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.

It is worth mentioning that Tonks' stomach is already very large, which makes her dress a bit strange, not beautiful, but definitely comfortable.

Seeing this, Mike immediately got excited. He filled Tonks' stomach curiously for a while, then raised his head and asked:

"How many months? This should be born soon, right?"

"It's been more than eight months," Tonks replied with a smile. "The due date is just one and a half months later. The Muggle doctor who examined us said that the baby is very healthy and suggested that we give birth naturally."

"Really? Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Lupine struggled to respond with a smile when he heard the words, and it was only then that Mike noticed that Lupine had become thinner and his hair had turned gray a lot.

But this didn't make him weak, but made him more dangerous.

His bloodshot eyes were constantly turning, and his body was also hidden in front of Tonks. His muscles were tense, as if he was always on guard for possible attacks.

Mike also knew something about the situation of their husband and wife, so he knew the reason why Lupine became like this at a glance.

He sighed and said sincerely to Lupine:
"Hey, Lupine, relax. It's absolutely safe here. I can assure you with everything I have. You don't have to worry too much about the child's blood. He doesn't have to be a werewolf. If he inherits What about becoming a shape-shifting Animagus with his mother's bloodline? Also, so what if the worst happens? Wolfbane potion is almost universal now, and the rights of werewolves are gradually gaining Guaranteed, your child will be happy!"

"Thank you, Mike!"

Lupine said with red eyes.

This is his sincere words. Whether it is fighting for the human rights of werewolves or caring for himself, Mike has done the best he can.

Then Mike persuaded the Lupine couple a few more words, and then let Franklin lead them to rest in the castle.

After seeing off the Lupins, new guests also arrived.

This time it was the French Minister of Magic and all the ministers of his sloppy faction.

With such a mighty dozen or so people plus their respective female companions, Mike's surroundings instantly became crowded.

Fortunately, their etiquette skills are quite good, and their clothes are very formal, so the atmosphere of the scene is not bad.

Most importantly, they each sent many valuable gifts.

Among them, the Minister of Magic of France was the most generous. He directly gave Mike a hundred senior battle wizards!

Yes, you heard it right, he is a gift made of people.

But he didn't send these people here directly, but gave Mike an employment contract.

As long as Mike signs it, these one hundred wizards will be employed by Mike for 100 years, and the annual salary is only a pitiful 100 gold Galleons.

To be honest, Mike was surprised when he received this gift.

After all, the entire French Ministry of Magic is now under his control, and the French Minister of Magic is strictly speaking a bare-bones commander.

So it was hard for him to think where the other party got so many people.

But this is not important, anyway, as long as it is beneficial for Mike to take it.

It's just that although he got the benefits, Mike's attitude towards these fencers still didn't improve much. He just asked them to find a rest area after a few perfunctory words.

And what arrived after this was the aristocratic forces in the country.

The more representative ones are the Malfoy family and the Hunter family.

Their gifts were also very generous. The Malfoy family directly gave Mike a winery, while the Hunter family gave a piece of sound bird farm.

Apart from them, there were also quite a few other nobles who came. Mike was not very familiar with these people, and the gifts they gave were not expensive enough to impress people.

But after Mike's preliminary estimation, at least all the surviving families in the sacred 28 families should have come.

And the last group of guests who arrived were the determined Ministry of Magic represented by the Magic Congress of the United States.

It's just that their Minister of Magic did not come in person, but chose to send an envoy to present gifts.

Mike wasn't too surprised by this. With the relationship between him and Piqueri, they would have ghosts if they wanted to come.

At this point, all the guests have arrived.

Mike looked at the gradually dimming sky outside, and decisively asked Benjamin to arrange everyone to sit down.

The venue for the wedding ceremony was set in the auditorium of Hogwarts Castle. The four long tables originally placed here representing the four colleges have been removed and replaced by rows of tables that resemble churches. Arranged dense benches.

In addition, the overall color of the entire auditorium has been arranged in blue and white. The surrounding walls are covered with vines, and there are countless colorful flowers blooming densely on it. Butterflies and various small birds are constantly shuttling among them, which is crisp and moving. The sound of birdsong and the rich fragrance make people feel better.

The guests present were all looking at the surrounding layout curiously. The original guests were better, and finally maintained some demeanor.

But those students who were placed on the left side of the auditorium as a whole and had just entered the hall after class were different. They all stared wide-eyed and kept looking around, and from time to time there would be bursts of exclamation from the crowd.

This also made the whole auditorium gradually noisy.

But this is also excusable, after all, today is a rare good day.

The other guests sitting across from them didn't care either, and many of them even kept giving them kind eyes.

At this moment, the professors of Hogwarts, Mike and others came outside the castle, looking at the distant sky, waiting for the arrival of the bride.

Professor Flitwick also put on the grand gown he mentioned last time this time. The light blue dress on his short body didn't look awkward or weird, on the contrary it made Professor Flitwick look younger and vibrant again.

It's just that at this moment, Professor Flitwick looks even more nervous than Mike, the regular groom. The group of them have just waited outside for less than 5 minutes, and he has already asked Mike four times if his clothes are lacking. up.

This scene made Benjamin and others laugh in good faith, while Mike could only comfort Professor Flitwick over and over again.

But this is actually not very useful, at this time Flitwick can't calm down at all, today is the day of his disciple Mike's wedding, and Mike also invited him to be the representative of the man's family and the witness.

This can be said to have raised his position to an incomparably important level.

Professor Flitwick really couldn't imagine what a disaster scenario it would be if he made any mistakes at such a critical moment!
Now all he can do is to say calm down over and over again in his heart, trying to control his emotions.

And at this moment, a series of exclamations suddenly came out from the surrounding crowd.

Professor Flitwick opened his eyes instinctively, and saw a few small black spots suddenly appearing in the center of the orange-red warm sun that was about to fall into the sky in the distance. A flying object flying over here.

Now Professor Flitwick's hard-earned psychological construction collapsed. He instinctively clenched his fists and shouted in a panic:

"Are they here? Are they really?"
