As a gentle breeze swept through, guests passed one by one beneath arches woven from wildflowers; everything here was light and carefree, all troubling matters cast aside for the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin stood quietly at the front, wearing a gray shirt and a newly tailored white robe. Soon after, Tonks, her hair restored to pink, approached slowly in a one-shoulder red dress, and the ceremony officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officiant was still Doge; since the Minister’s son’s wedding, Doge had become one of the most sought-after wedding celebrants in the British magical community. Any couple with connections who could reach him vied to invite him, and Doge gladly obliged—he was actively reducing his ties to the Muggle political sphere and steadily relinquishing his influence within the Order of the Phoenix. It was clear the old man had reached an age where retirement was on his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry sat between Sirius and Zhang Qiu, both of them clapping enthusiastically. He noticed Zhang Qiu gazing at Tonks’s bouquet with complex emotion—she longed for the traditional British luck it symbolized, yet inwardly felt a quiet pride, believing her bond with Harry needed no such proof. Besides, Tonks hadn’t used traditional lavender or rosemary; instead, she’d bound a vibrant bouquet of roses, which seemed to dilute the bouquet’s meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as Lupin and Tonks dealt with overly enthusiastic Gilnean guests, Donald approached with a grim expression, immediately spoiling the mood: “I fear this wedding won’t go smoothly—you remember, in the original fate, Fleur’s wedding was interrupted by Death Eaters. Such events can only be delayed, never avoided.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Likely, some Serbian guerrillas or Albanian opposition factions will storm in…” Donald muttered, “I regret suggesting the name Gilneas— the Wolf King’s wife and eldest son will die in war; it’s unavoidable… and the Focus Rainbow—I worry this forest will be leveled too…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius immediately cut him off harshly: “Don’t ruin their wedding day with such gloom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry also felt displeased but said nothing, only glaring at him with disapproval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donald lowered his brows, glancing back at Lupin and Tonks laughing among the guests, and said with deep regret: “I never thought a name could become a curse of destruction. If I could—Harry, I want to talk with you—could we relocate all werewolves to Dalaran?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s pure fantasy,” Harry shook his head. “Werewolves won’t agree. Will they abandon their hard-won stability just because of your vague worry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides,” Sirius added, “the Ministry and the Magical Congress aren’t ready to fully accept them. Gilneas is a compromise that benefits everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fate is ultimately inescapable. When that day truly comes…” Donald trailed off, then sighed heavily. “When Gilneas falls, you’ll finally understand why I say this—and realize how terrifying the future behind the name Hong’an truly is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry rolled his eyes. He hadn’t expected the next person to turn mystical would be Donald. He could only respond with a polite but blunt tone: “I respect your views. Since the key part of the wedding is over, why not go home and start preparing to fight aliens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I don’t want to? But there’s no solution unless a spell can manifest even broader cosmic civilizations. In a one-on-one scenario, we’re doomed—even with the magical world and all these so-called super-wizard powers combined.” Donald slapped his own cheeks hard. “Why did Ge Xuan go into seclusion again? I need him to explain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What nonsense—I understand nothing,” Sirius growled. “If you don’t want to attend, leave. Don’t ruin our mood—Qiu and Harry need to speak with Tonks. We don’t have time for your rambling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. She’s already here.” Zhang Qiu shrugged. Sure enough, Tonks stood beside them, holding the red bouquet, wearing a strangely amused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donald waved his hands dismissively, grumbling: “Fine, fine, keep drowning in your lovey-dovey nonsense. I’m going back to find a solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he drew his wand, spun in place, and Apparated away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonks chuckled slightly. “He’s gone? I was going to try to talk to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. He’s clearly terrified by some fixed fate or divination result—that’s why he’s so anxious. I used to be like that. Come to think of it, this was actually a sweet little episode in my relationship with Remus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean when you first joined the Doctor Project two years ago?” Sirius reacted quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Back then, I read many books on fate theory—oh yes, several were written by people from Tianchao.” Tonks spoke with a hint of nostalgia. “I learned techniques to glimpse fate. It terrified me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She always worried I’d die at Hogwarts,” Lupin smiled. “I thought it was nonsense, but it made me avoid returning to the school for a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And all the things Donald mentioned—I’ve seen many similar visions,” Tonks brushed her hair aside. “Gilneas collapsing in war—I urged Remus to flee with me, but he chose to stand with the people. Or enemies striking the Presidential Palace with the Focus Rainbow—he fought desperately to buy me time to enter the TARDIS. Oh, and one future I never imagined—I became a werewolf myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She playfully tweaked her hair, summoning two pointy, furry ears. “See? Like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what matters more,” Lupin interrupted her transformation, “is that these illusions made us realize our feelings for each other. I knew I had to face this, not keep running. And I’m grateful, Bigfoot, for your encouragement and support.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I learned we need courage to face fate. I even thought—if Remus was truly destined to die this autumn, as fate foretold—I’d still be his last lover.” Tonks sniffed softly, emotionally. “I’m also deeply grateful for everything Xuan Jun did last year—he shattered fate entirely. I no longer worry about Remus’s safety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sincerely wish you and Harry, Qiu,” she offered the bouquet. “I just realized you two confronted and shattered fate long ago. It’s truly admirable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qiu took the bouquet, then bowed slightly, blushing. “Thank you for your blessing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, by the way,” Lupin clapped Sirius on the shoulder generously, “Donald seems stuck in a rut. You might try comforting him—no need to be so harsh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you get to be the good guy, huh?” Sirius punched him lightly, laughing. “But if you actually take his words seriously, keep an eye out in the coming days. If anything happens, tell everyone immediately—every force of justice in the magical world stands with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, of course. No politics today,” Lupin took Tonks’s hand and turned toward the next group of guests. “Just enjoy yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the newlyweds walk away, Harry and Qiu both grew shy, hesitant to speak. Finally, Sirius broke the silence: “That was wonderful. By the way, when are you two planning to tie the knot? I hear Tianchao is eager—Lin came to me several times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have to wait for Master to emerge from seclusion, and for Harry to graduate,” Zhang Qiu said naturally. “I don’t know what he’s researching, but I think he’ll emerge before Harry graduates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of graduation, I’m still stressing over my final internship report,” Harry smacked his forehead. “I never thought it through—I put ‘Senior Investigator at Hogwarts’ as my placement. Now I have no idea what the job even entails, how to summarize it, or where to find any reference.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Gangwei  that’s only appeared once in history—impressive,” Sirius placed a hand on Harry’s shoulder. “How about this: have Lin write your thesis. After all, Qiu said you two can’t marry until you graduate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, let Donald handle the task of pressuring Xuan Jun to emerge,” Sirius continued offering bad advice. “He’s desperate to get an explanation from Xuan Jun about the aliens—make him go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, Old Sir is over there, sitting with Albanian Muggle officials,” Sirius patted Harry’s shoulder. “I suggest you two take the bouquet over there and tell him about your wedding plans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of Old Sir, I remember—I need to tell my father too,” Zhang Qiu scratched her head. “Alright, one thing at a time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry’s gaze drifted to Eve and Ron whispering in the back row, then returned to the bouquet in Zhang Qiu’s hands. He nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right. One thing at a time.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1385,"2026-06-21T04:54:29.438Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","63d4f062bb46dcccb65413fc3b99564cdf3ea6c850d386b926e0a34f923b7898","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-520","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-518",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-war-at-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
