Homecoming from Hogwarts

"Sirius must have known, but he never told me a word—"

Harry's gloomy words let Hermione know what Harry was upset about.

This was indeed a bit unreasonable, and even Hermione felt a little uncomfortable.

The relationship between Remus, Sirius and them is far more than that of ordinary students and professors.

Even if Remus hadn't planned to invite them, and had been so busy planning the wedding that he had forgotten to tell them, Sirius should have told them.

"Mrs. Weasley is invited, isn't she?"

Hermione looked at Ginny.

"And Dad—"

Ginny fiddled with her fiery red hair and said,
"And Feng, I mean, people from Remus' circle. Sirius is the best man, and as for the bridesmaid, Tonks invited Amelia. Besides, Tonks is pregnant--"

The final revelation in Ginny's words set off another storm.

"You didn't just say that!"

Harry stared at Ginny in surprise.

"That's because you started to get mad when you heard Remus was getting married."

Ginny said nonchalantly.

"It's incredible that Tonks is pregnant!"

Ron swallowed his saliva with a gulp, his face full of disbelief.

"I thought they couldn't. Well, you know, Remus is a little bit special."

Seeing Harry's unhappy expression, Ron closed his mouth awkwardly.

"Come to think of it, that child would be——"

But on second thought, worry appeared on Harry's face again. He looked at Hermione, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

No one in the small group here was unaware of Remus's identity as a werewolf, and everyone was silent.

"I'm not sure, Harry—"

Hermione bit her lip, looking hesitant.
"It shouldn't happen, but we can't completely rule out the possibility--"

"As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing to worry about—"

Suddenly, Neville's expression brightened and he spoke in a cheerful tone. He raised his chin and directed everyone's attention to a little boy sitting at the long table.

Bernier is playing Gobstones with Seamus.

He was one step behind in the game and was sprayed with smelly liquid in the face by the stone. When he looked embarrassed, he saw Seamus and Dean laughing happily. He touched his nose and laughed shyly and happily.

"That's right--"

Harry smiled too.

"It's no big deal even if the child inherits Remus' genes. I bet that Bernier will not be the only werewolf in Hogwarts in the future—"

We all know who is responsible for all this.

"Come to think of it, Remus must have invited Professor Blaine to the wedding, right?"

Harry looked at Ginny and asked in a firm tone.

"Mom said that Dad heard it from Sirius and told her that Remus originally planned to invite Professor Blaine to be the witness for his and Tonks' wedding, but considering that Professor Blaine was very busy, they didn't want to add burden to him, so they invited Professor Moody -"

"Oh!"

Before Harry could even begin to wonder, Fred jumped up first, wrinkling his nose and glaring at his little sister.

"Why did mom tell you everything but never told us a word?"

Ron on the side nodded frantically.

"Maybe--"

Ginny chuckled.

"Mom thinks I can keep a secret!"

Harry felt a little sad at this, that Sirius had been willing to say something to Mr. Weasley, but had said nothing to him.

"Maybe Sirius is just worried."

Seeing Harry's dejection, Hermione said softly, "Worried?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, then he became nervous.

"You mean, there's a chance that Voldemort might attack Remus and Tonks?"

Although the Ministry of Magic now publicly calls Voldemort by his real name, not everyone can say this name without any psychological barriers.

Harry called out the name unexpectedly, causing a brief silence.

"I mean--"

Hermione was dissatisfied with Harry's recklessness. She glared at Harry.
"Remus and the others will definitely consider this possibility. After all, Ginny said that many members of the Order of the Phoenix will participate. This is a good opportunity for Voldemort--"

Originally, after Hermione finished class, Harry was going to help Roya and consult on the selection of members for the Quidditch team.

After all, if he wanted to form a Quidditch team, the first thing Luoya had to do was to recruit enough players for the competition.

There are quite a few people in the exchange group, but not many are suitable for Quidditch.

Hagrid's brother Grawp would be eliminated first, as there was no one in the world who could find a broomstick that could carry a giant.

Polly is a horse person, so that definitely won't work.

It was also unrealistic to expect three house-elves to engage in such an exciting and creative sport.

Loya can only choose from among her people, Bernel, Elune, and the elves.

Although he is a werewolf, Bernier's courage obviously needs to be tested. Currently, he has a hard time dealing with the Gobstone game.

Elune
She did say that she didn't like rough flying but she enjoyed teasing people, who knows if that was true or not.

Only the fairies and Luoya's people are worth testing.

But now, all this has to be postponed, and Harry has no time to help Luoya plan these things.

Until he returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed in a daze, Harry was still thinking about Hermione's words.

This is a good opportunity for Voldemort.
He had to admit, Hermione had a point.

Over the past few months, Voldemort and his Death Eaters have suffered a series of devastating defeats in the British wizarding world. They desperately need an opportunity to re-establish fear in people's hearts.

In the dim dormitory, Harry, facing the ceiling, kept blinking.

Somehow he kept thinking about Tonks and Remus' baby.

Not that he was worried that the child would inherit Remus' werewolf bloodline, but -
Harry turned over irritably, kicked off his shoes, and covered his head with the quilt.

It was like fate was playing its old tricks again!
Harry felt that the child's fate was so similar to his own, and Remus and Tonks were just like his own parents!

Harry, who was curled up, shuddered suddenly.

Did he need to write to Sirius, warning him that Remus and Tonks might be in danger at the wedding?

As soon as the thought came to mind, Harry extinguished it.

He doesn't need to worry, there are people smarter than him!
Now that Professor Brian has received the invitation, he will definitely consider them.

Moreover, he himself would be at the wedding, and with him around, Remus and Tonks would be absolutely safe.

So what about before the wedding, how does Remus ensure the safety of his wife and children?
Harry thought again.

The curse of loyalty!
He didn't know how he got the answer, but the spell just popped into Harry's mind inadvertently, as if a voice in his head was telling him the answer.

So, who will be the secret keeper? Will it be Professor Braine?

Last time, Professor Dumbledore used this spell to protect his parents, but the result was tragic.

But that was the Secret Keeper's problem, not Professor Dumbledore's.

His parents had originally planned to ask Sirius to be the secret keeper, but Sirius mistakenly trusted Peter Pettigrew.

The secret keeper is Sirius!

The answer echoed in my mind again.

Yes, that’s right!
Sirius wasn't the kind of wimp to back down after making a single mistake.

He faced his failures head on.

Since his parents were killed last time because he trusted the wrong person, this time Remus encountered a similar situation to his parents, so Sirius is likely to stand up again! (End of this chapter)
