Chapter 408： propose

"In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister of Magic Connery Fudge confirmed that the man who could not even mention his name had returned to the country and started activities again.

‘I have to prove with great regret that the wizard who calls himself the Demon King...whoo...you know who I’m talking about. He—he was dead and resurrected, returned to us. "Fudge said that he looked exhausted when facing reporters. "We reported with almost the same regret that the Azkaban Dementors had a mass riot. They have expressed that they are no longer willing to be employed by the Ministry of Magic. We have reason to believe that the Dementor is currently serving that demon king. We strongly urge people in the magic world to be vigilant. The Ministry of Magic is publishing a basic defense guide for families and individuals, which will be distributed to all wizard families for free next month. ’

The minister's statement caused trouble and panic in the magical world. They also got the assurance from the Ministry of Magic three weeks ago. The claim that the mysterious people who continue to circulate are active among us is pure nonsense.

It seems that the words that our minister said before are the real nonsense.

I believe everyone must be very curious about why the Ministry of Magic changed their attitude so suddenly. Our Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, refused to answer this question, but we still knew the answer from the current Auror Office Director, Mr. Scrimgeour.

’On the night of last Tuesday, the man who couldn’t even mention the name and a large number of elite Death Eaters broke into the Ministry. Their purpose was very clear. They were a powerful magic item we hid in the Department of Mysteries. "Scrimgeour said, with a very tough attitude," but we learned about their action in advance and dispatched the Aurors. After a great battle, we succeeded in repelling the man who couldn't even mention his name and won. Yes, victory, this is a complete victory. In fact, except for the person who couldn't even mention the name and a few lucky ones, the entire Death Eater army was almost completely wiped out by us. So please rest assured that our Aurors and strikers have powerful forces, enough to protect the safety of our people’s declarations. Next we...’

The above is Director Scrimgeour’s speech. We agree with Director Scrimgeour’s suggestion, because no matter how you look at it, he is currently more suitable than Connery Fudge to be the leader of the Ministry of Magic.

In addition, not long ago, the Ministry of Magic officially dismissed all charges against Albus Dumbledore and restored him including the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a member of the International Federation of Wizards, and Wizengamore’s familiarity with magic. The position and reputation of the teacher.

In the past year, he insisted that the mysterious people are not dead as people generally hope and believe, but are recruiting entourages, ready to usurp power 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 burst interrupted Hermione's reading, and it also shocked everyone in the ward, including the wounded Lupin who was lying on the bed, unable to move.

At this time, they were in a ward of St. Mungo’s Magic Hospital. As the newspaper said, Dumbledore was restored to all official positions and positions, and Dumbledore, who was granted the rights again, was not idle. , He almost immediately transferred Lupin to St. Mungo and became Black’s neighbor to receive better treatment, and then he returned to Hogwarts before the students went to bed, to the students who had finished the exam Congratulations.

Of course, this move caused a sensation among all Hogwarts students, and even the serious professors had smiles on their faces.

And Mike and others immediately applied to Dumbledore to visit Lupin, and Dumbledore naturally agreed to it.

It's just that because there is still a lot of work to be done, Dumbledore himself did not show up for today's visit.

This doesn't affect Lupin's good mood. Lupin misses Harry, the son of his old friend, too.

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

Let us look back into the ward, Lupin was taken aback by Black's sudden burst of drink, and everyone trembled violently.

Then there was a look of pain on his face. There is no doubt that the action just now must have touched his wound.

All the rest of the ward became nervous, except Mike.

At this moment, Mike is looking down and thinking.

According to common sense, this report should have been released the day after the Ministry of Magic was invaded, but it has been delayed for so long now.

But this is not surprising. After experiencing this incident, a huge storm will inevitably erupt within the Ministry of Magic, but this time it happened to hit the important Hogwarts exam season.

Therefore, in order to allow the candidates to take the exam at ease, and also to free up time to deal with internal disputes, the Ministry of Magic may have deliberately suppressed public opinion.

At this time, Tonks on the side asked Lupin's situation nervously. After confirming that there was nothing serious, he rolled his eyes and complained:

"The patient needs a rest! Black!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Hehe!" Black, who wore a medical gown like Lupin laughed twice, then continued to complain in a low voice. It’s all on yourself! Know that we are the real heroes!"

"Yeah! You are such a great hero!" Tonks sneered, "If it wasn't because you were kidnapped, Remus would not have..."

"Enough, Tonks." Lupin interrupted Tonks abruptly, "This is not Black's fault!"

Hearing this, Tonks' eyes turned red in an instant, she lowered her head and remained silent, but her eyes were always looking at Lupin's obviously empty sleeve.

The atmosphere in the ward became a little depressed in an instant, Harry and Hermione were silent, and they didn't even dare to let out the atmosphere.

Black is also hanging his head on the side, looking very disappointed.

After a long time, Black raised his head, looked at Lupin guiltily and said:

"Remus, what Nifadora said..."

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

Tonks’ hysterical scream interrupted Black’s words. The latter’s breathing became a little faster, but after all he did not get angry, and continued:

"Well, what she said was right, it was all my fault. If I hadn't been kidnapped..."

"Don't say such a thing!" Lupin said with a serious expression, "I lost my arm entirely because of my own death. But I don't regret it at all because I killed the **** Fenrir. Enough!"

As soon as he said this, Blake took a breath of air. As a good friend of Lupin, he naturally knew the grudge between Lupin and Fenrir.

But Mike on the side glanced secretly, thinking that if he hadn't arrived in time, Lupin, the weak chicken, would have been killed by Fenrir.

It’s just that Mike is not an idiot with low emotional intelligence. In this environment, he didn’t dispel Lupin’s brilliance in front of his friends and girlfriends. Instead, he smiled and agreed:

"This is worthy of a gratifying thing."

Mike's words obviously relieved Lupin, and the faces of Black and Tonks were rare and smiled.

But before Mike finished speaking, he went on to say:

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

As soon as this statement was made, Lupin's and Tonks's faces were filled with red clouds, and Tonks's hair instantly turned pink.

"You are going to get married!"

Black looked at Lupin in disbelief. He didn't know the outcome of Mike's negotiation with 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." Lupin said, "but I think I can continue to work, so I don't really want to retire. . As for marriage, uh..."

Lupin hesitated for a long time and didn't say why. Tonks' expression on the side began to lose weight, and the pink on his hair was slowly receding.

McDonald felt bad when he saw it. Mike, who knew that the matter must not be delayed, made a decisive decision and said bluntly:

"Don't you like Tonks?"

"No! It's not!"

Lupin replied eagerly, which made the corners of Mike's mouth rise.

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

It was said that the faces of Blake, Harry and others were confused. Among them, Harry and Hermione felt that Tonks and Lupin were a perfect match.

As for Black, he simply thinks that with an identity like Lupin, it would be nice to have a woman willing to marry him. What else to choose?

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Ping slowly lowered his head, and after a long time, he said in an inaudible voice:

"I...I am too old."

"I do not care!"

Before Mike could continue to question, Tonks on the side could not wait to give the answer first, which made Hermione’s eyes light up.

"You don't understand, you are still young." Lu Ping still lowered his head and said, "You deserve better, understand?"

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

Facing Tonks's hysterical scream, Lu Ping raised his head fiercely. His expression looked very complicated. He seemed to be shocked at Tonks's stubbornness and seemed to be moved.

Finally Lupin couldn't help it anymore, he glared at Tonks with his red eyes and shouted:

"Don’t you understand? I’m a werewolf! You won’t be happy with me! Think about it, if we get married, then I’m likely to infect you with the virus, and the children we have in the future will also It will be a werewolf! This is unfair to children, I absolutely..."

"I do not care!"

Tonks interrupted Lupin again, looking at Lupin who was dumbfounded, and his chin slightly tilted up. Although the tears in his eyes kept rolling, his expression was proudly like a general who had given the enemy a fatal blow. .

Her expression seems to be asking Lupin, "What else can you say?"

"Ha!" Appearing to be irritated by Tonks' stubbornness, Lupin laughed and spread out his remaining hand and laughed, "I am a poor ghost, you will regret it if you marry me! You this stupid……"

"I have money!"

Lupin’s words were interrupted again, but this time it was not Tonks who spoke, but Mike, who had been on the sidelines.

I saw him walking slowly to the side of the hospital bed, condescendingly looking at Lupin and smiling:

"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, Lupin and Tonks were stunned, and Blake beside him finally reacted and hurriedly got up and said:

"I have money too! There are still many properties under the name of the Black family, and I can choose a set as your wedding gift!"

The tears in Tonks’ eyes finally flowed. She cried and said thankful words, then turned around and knelt down on one knee to Lupin on the hospital bed and said sincerely:

"Remus, I love you, would you marry me?"

Tonks's behavior shocked Lupin. He looked at Tonks in surprise, but he was speechless for a while.

Hermione and the others looked straight, especially Hermione, she seemed to be moved to cry.

And Mike and Black covered their mouths with their hands.

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

It's because they want to use this method to conceal the irresistible smile on their faces.

That's right, they both almost laughed stupidly.

A woman proposes to a man. This is enough to make a local tabloid news even in later life, let alone now.

Lu Ping soon reacted from the shock. He looked at Tonks with red eyes and slowly said:

"I should be asked to propose to you."

"You agree?"

Tonkssten stood up and looked at Lupin incredulously.

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

This huge movement instantly made Lupin scream in pain.

"Oh! Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Tonks bounced away from Lupin's arms faster than before, and at the same time bowed his head again and again to apologize.

Only when she raised her head again, her eyes collided with Lupin.

A touch of red clouds floated on the two cheeks quietly, they instinctively looked away, and after a while they couldn't help looking at each other again.

Looking at the embarrassed look of the two, Mike and the others all showed gratified smiles.

Black breathed out a long breath.

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

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

Seeing Mike and others look at them, a middle-aged nurse headed by them explained:|

"Sorry, your voice was too loud before, so we checked the situation. But now it seems... we can only congratulate you!"

After saying this, the rest of the people around also opened their mouths to congratulate Lupin.

Lupin and Tonks on the hospital bed were already shy and at a loss.
