Chapter 471: Wedding

Facing the olive branch thrown by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Magic, who got off work at 6:00 PM, expressed deep worry.

"Such a high position, I think it's too suspicious." Mr. Wei Wei Silai said. "Perhaps he just wants some wizard core members who can support him. As far as I know, the civil servants have tortured him enough."

"I also think there is no need to make a decision too early," Harry agreed with his point of view. "I want to stay in school for a while first. From the time I stepped into Hogwarts until now, it seems to be the first time I have lived such a carefree school life."

"Very right, Harry." Mrs. Wei Wei Silai once again declared her sovereignty in the family with a loud voice. "What we have to do immediately is to handle the wedding well. This is the seating chart you will use tomorrow!"

So at 2:00 PM the next day, Harry and Luo En began to change clothes. What they had to do today was to stand outside the white tent in the orchard and be responsible for welcoming the guests who came to participate. When they came to the lawn at five minutes to three, Fred and George were already there.

The first to arrive was Lu Duo Bagman, who succeeded as Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. At this moment, his face was full of humble smiles. The moment he saw Harry, he immediately laughed loudly.

"Ah, my god, this is such an honor, Mr. Potter. They generously allowed the guests to say hello to you!" His mouth was full of flattering words, which made Harry feel a bit strange. "I said you would definitely come. By Merlin's beard, it's really wonderful."

Harry touched the seating chart for the wedding very unnaturally, wanting to point out a direction for him.

"My god, this is simply, they actually let the honorable Mr. Harry Potter welcome guests," Bagman widened his eyes. "How can it be so rude? Please give me the list. Sharing the worries for the minister is the duty of every Ministry of Magic official!"

He forcefully pulled the list from Harry's hand, asked Harry to take his seat with an extremely flattering tone, and then stood in the welcoming place instead of him, his posture as straight as a pine tree. When another guest arrived, he immediately greeted him with a wonderful smile, much more enthusiastically than Harry himself did.

Somewhat at a loss, Harry walked slowly into the tent. Just right, another person was standing in place at a loss: Hagrid, who had broken his chair with his butt. Harry hurriedly stepped forward to help him repair the chair, and cast a spell to enlarge and reinforce it, and chatted with Hagrid happily by the way.

When he finished his work and came back to his senses, he met Zhang Qiu who walked in with a smile.

"Oh, Harry." She said. "Why do you look like you have nothing to do?"

"Sigh, Lu Duo Bagman insisted on welcoming guests instead of me. I really feel uncomfortable. He seems to have changed into a different person, with a look of flattery..."

"Then you probably misunderstood. He is letting every guest guess who the bride will throw the bouquet to. I just placed a bet of ten Galleons on myself." Zhang Qiu couldn't help laughing. "He obviously hesitated, only giving 1.3 to 1."

He's back, that familiar Bagman is back, Harry's fist is hard again.

But he had no time to correct this mistake. People who came in one after another were scrambling to say hello to him. The officials of the Ministry of Magic were relatively restrained, while Xenophilius Lovegood, who was out of office, gave him a hug lasting seven seconds without any distance, and the young Beauxbatons girls led by Gabrielle surrounded him tightly, making Harry have to try his best to break out, and then hurriedly fled toward his position—

Finally, as more and more people started buying Zhang Qiu, buying her odds to 1.05 to 1, the guests were all present, and the wedding was ready to start. Mr. and Mrs. Wei Wei Silai walked over from the aisle, smiling and greeting everyone. Many department heads of the Ministry of Magic in the front row immediately showed decent and brilliant smiles, except for the Senior Undersecretary, Severus, who smiled very reluctantly.

Bill walked to the front of the hall in evening dress, and a bunch of snow-white roses in his hand was especially conspicuous. The wedding music started, and Fleur also stepped into the field with her father's arm. She wore a white long dress with patterns, exuding unparalleled charm.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Doge, who now seemed to have some weight, stood in the center of the newlyweds and said in an aria-like voice, "In the name of Merlin, let us witness this sea-oath and mountain-pledge across the English Channel together..."

In the front row, the mothers of the two newlyweds shed happy tears, while Fleur took Bill's bouquet, and the guests who placed bets off the field immediately became nervous.

"... Now I announce, William Arthur Wei Wei Silai, and Fleur Isabelle Delacour, officially become legal husband and wife!"

As the magical silver starlight rose and circled around them, golden balloons scattered into light spots in the air, wonderful music sounded, and Fleur was about to throw the bouquet with both hands. Zhang Qiu on the side couldn't help stretching out her hands, revealing an expectant look.

The white roses drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed in the seating area belonging to the Order of the Phoenix on the right side of the field. A pair of slender hands caught it, and Zhang Qiu's mouth popped out a big "No!".

At this moment, the person who stood up was a woman no one knew. She had short, smooth blonde hair, a delicate hairpin on one side of her ear, wore a light gray hooded robe and a blue striped T-shirt, and wore high-waisted cropped pants and a pair of short boots on her lower body. She looked both beautiful and very capable.

Harry was the first to react, because he saw Tonks, who was smiling brightly, beside this girl, and Sirius, who was full of pride. He immediately shouted: "Tonks! It's Tonks, right!"

Tonks put her hand to her mouth, revealed a "shh" expression, and then said loudly: "No, there is no Tonks, I am the Doctor."

"Doctor? What Doctor?" The crowd began to stir.

"No, just the Doctor."

Bagman flipped through his account book quickly, revealing a look of having seen a ghost, and finally found two lines of words that might be related to it.

"Regulus Black, 200 Galleons bet on Nymphadora Tonks, odds 1:8"

"Johnny English, 10 Galleons bet on the Doctor, odds 1:200"

Snape suddenly stood up and explained loudly: "Then, just take this opportunity to introduce to all the students of Hogwarts present, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the Doctor."

Harry suddenly realized. This move was to solve the problem of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position being cursed. Because Doctors can share the cost of time travel by sharing a title, naturally, they can also share this curse. And, although Voldemort didn't die, the curse still existed, but the twelve Doctors who were trapped in stagnation with Voldemort didn't die either. If Tonks took the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the name of the Doctor, she only needed to bear one-thirteenth of the curse, which means she could teach for at least twelve years.

The last piece of the educational board of Hogwarts was also filled, and Harry was sincerely happy for this. Of course, those who figured out the joints also included Sirius, who was stunned in place, while Fleur frowned.

At this time, the music sounded, the top of the white tent rose high, and the ball began. These small episodes could only be skipped for the time being. As Fleur and Bill took the lead in entering the field to lead the dance, the parents of both sides also began to join in.

Neither Harry nor Zhang Qiu had much desire to dance. They rushed to that table coincidentally, but there were too many guests. When they squeezed to the front, Fleur and Sirius were already winking at Bagman.

"What do you mean you can't exchange it?" Fleur asked. "You promised to give me half."

Zhang Qiu immediately slapped her thigh. Before Sirius could answer, she immediately pointed at his nose and scolded: "Good for you, Padfoot, actually playing a fake match!"

"I'm also a victim, okay? Why didn't you tell me about the Doctor in advance?" Sirius spread his hands exaggeratedly. "I thought you just changed your style!"

"You didn't ask either." Tonks also revealed an innocent expression.

Zhang Qiu squeezed among them, shook Fleur's arm and asked: "Who did you originally want to throw it to?"

"I did want to give it to you, Qiu. You and Harry look great." Fleur said with a faint smile. "It's a pity, I originally thought so, but he gave too much."

Sirius pointed at Lu Ping, whose arm was being held by Tonks. "Isn't this also very good? And they are much faster than you two! You are still in school!"

"But the problem now is that we can't admit her identity, so the effect of sharing the curse won't work." Lu Ping said in a tone of watching a joke. "So, your two hundred Galleons went down the drain. This is the end of the greedy."

"Yeah, sir, that's exactly what it means." Bagman flipped through the booklet on the side. "I can't exchange it for you; I can't destroy Deputy Minister Snape's plan, can I?"

Harry saw a word that was suspected to be Doctor from the booklet that flashed by. He immediately pressed Bagman's booklet and said in a commanding tone: "Flip back!"

Reluctantly, Bagman revealed the betting record. According to Johnny's amount and the outrageous odds he gave in shock, he had to pay two thousand Galleons in one breath, which was almost all he earned in the market.

So, Harry grabbed Bagman's arm with a sense of revenge. "You can't go back on your word!"

He dragged Bagman to Johnny's side. Bagman began to count Galleons with a painful face, while Johnny recovered from the high-footed cup tower he had just built, revealing a confused expression.

"What, exchange it for me?" He asked suspiciously. "Aren't you the one collecting the gift money?" ===== CHAPTER 472 =====
