Chapter 293 Before the Wedding
"Quick, before the water disappears completely," Slytherin urged.
"Yes." Harry did not hesitate, and the Sorting Hat fell from his hand and submerged into the 'lake'.
(As the water splashed, countless spectators applauded as if they were feeling the same.)
(Bajir understands this very well. It is normal that they do not want [Zimu River] to be destroyed.)
(Wizards have a long-standing fertility problem.)
(In the wizarding world where there is no contraception and everyone hopes to have many children and many blessings, there are still many wizarding couples who only have one child.)
(Only a few Weasleys can have such children.)
(This is also why the average-looking Ginny in the movie still has so many boyfriends.)
(Have you not seen that Harry, who has been a single heir for several generations, married a Weasley daughter and had three children at once.)
The 'water' level continues to drop, and the basilisk's huge body is like a dry sponge, with all the 'lake water' immersed in it.
In the end, only the completely exposed ground and the huge snake body were left.
There is no trace of the Sorting Hat's existence at all.
Harry understood that the Sorting Hat had merged into the lake of condensed memories and returned to the basilisk's body.
Now, the basilisk Hallitan has disappeared, leaving only Slytherin.
The bright yellow snake eyes flashed with intelligence, even completely controlling the death gaze of the basilisk, "You can leave, the Sorting Hat will stay here with me forever."
"Yeah." Harry nodded, looking a little confused.
He could feel how powerful Slytherin was now. He obviously only had memories and thoughts, but compared to her who was still a basilisk, she was as powerful as heaven and earth.
In the hands of such a powerful person, the Sorting Hat should be safe.
But Harry found that the voice that the mission was completed did not ring in his ears.
Slytherin, who coiled up his snake body and was about to fall into a long sleep again, asked, "Do you still have any questions?"
"I want to ask, is this foolproof? I mean [Zimu River]." Harry asked quickly.
"Of course not. If my blood descendant wants, he can cut off the source by directly destroying the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony." Slytherin's voice was a little impatient, "I remember I said that. But you also Don’t worry, as long as the Sorting Hat is intact, there is still a chance to come back.”
On the way back, Harry kept thinking about the implications of Slytherin's words.
The meaning of the words itself is very simple. As long as the core is still there, [Zimu River] can still be revived after being destroyed.
Even if the branch system is no longer available, this system can still be reestablished.
What's difficult is why the God behind the scenes still doesn't judge the task to be completed.
Is it because Riddell still didn’t give up the idea of destroying the [Zimu River] even though he knew that the core had been stolen and protected by others?
But in the prophecy, Riddle should have realized his mistake.
Back in his tent in the common room, Harry still couldn't understand.
If so, wouldn't it be in vain for him to say goodbye to Delaco and the others today?
They also agreed to get married.
In this world, their birth months are all very early.
Even for Harley, the latest date is February 4th.
In this case, wouldn't it be February 4th, that is, in about three months, when Harley becomes an adult and he will consider getting married?
When he agreed before, he thought he would leave this world immediately.
Could it be that he really wanted to get married in this world and then leave?
On the other side, Krum and the others were also wondering that the mission had not been completed.
"You are finally back, Digory, where have you been?" The screen of the treasure book in Klum's hand lit up, and Fleur's face appeared in it. It was obvious that the two of them were video-recording.
"I think. I know." Fleur looked through the treasure book and glanced at the hickey on Cedric's neck, teasing.
Cedric adjusted his collar uncomfortably, while secretly praying that Cho Chang wouldn't be too angry.
(Qiu Zhang is indeed not too angry, and his breathing is slow and regular.)
(However, this was because she had Ginny for comparison, and the fact that the basilisk was a Slytherin was too surprising.)
"Now that you are back, we have just discussed," Krum said, "why the mission is not over."
Cedric touched his chin, "The prophecy said that Riddle would realize his mistake. But it didn't specify the time. It could be a few days, a few months, or a few years."
Fleur shook her head, "Let's not be too careless. What if the Sorting Hat we hid is finally found?"
Krum was silent for a moment, "Leave it to me. I will send a body to stay there permanently."
"Now, we no longer need to ask for information. The most important thing is to protect the Sorting Hat from being found by the Demon Man and his knights."
(Seeing this, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, "Do you still insist on your opinion? Riddle will give up destroying the [Child Mother River].")
("Of course," Dumbledore said, "we are different from the warriors on the mission. We have intuitively seen the performance of the Demon Man in that world.")
("We all have a rough idea of what kind of person he is.")
("I think he will give up, but it will take some time for him to confirm the authenticity of the prophecy and verify the error of his plan.")
("That is to say, you think Mr. Diggory's statement is more likely." Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow.)
("Not necessarily," Dumbledore shook his head. "The Demon Man himself will give up, but his Knights, the group of dreamers who are willing to go against the general trend and join his men for their dreams, may not give up so easily. ")
(.)
(As time goes by, more and more viewers agree with Cedric’s opinion.)
(Because, during these three months, the wizarding world on the screen was calm. It seemed that Hogwarts was broken into and that the Demon Man and his men escaped from the Hungry Platform were just some illusions that never happened.)
Now the most eye-catching thing in the British wizarding world, as well as Hogwarts, is the marriage between three ancient wizarding families.
Weasley, Malfoy, and Peverell will be getting married in Godric's Hollow on the 8th of this month, which is Saturday this week.
Almost everyone wants to know how this little-known wizard from the Muggle world managed to win the sincerity of three witches from ancient families.
But since the wizard named Harry Potter is still attending Hogwarts, even the Daily Prophet, which smells news like a dog smelling meat and bones, can only let its reporters Staying peacefully in the office, waiting for the wedding to come.
Time, February 7, 1997, 6pm.
A large and bustling crowd gathered in front of the gate of Hogwarts Castle, and a large part of them were in the auditorium.
The professors guided the crowd to stay where they were, so that no witch would take advantage of the wizard.
In this case, even Neville dared to leave the wizard's lounge.
But he was still hiding behind Percy, among the wizards.
Harry stood at the front of the crowd, seemingly looking normal, but in fact he was very upset.
He didn't understand why the professors were so involved in getting married.
Tomorrow is his wedding day, and it is also the day when he meets Delaco, Ron, and Harley's parents.
During the previous Christmas vacation, he and Luo En did not go to meet their parents. He only knew that after the vacation in January, the marriage was decided.
So careless?
And Delaco, Ron, and Harry had already left school yesterday.
Now here he was waiting for transport to take him to Godric's Hollow.
No, not just him, but also Percy, Freida, Georgiana and other women's family members.
As for the man's family, as an orphan, he chose Hagrid, the three of them who had already reconciled with Cedric, and Cedric's girlfriend Qiu Zhang.
As for why they didn't choose the more convenient floo network and portkey, it was because the wedding couldn't choose such a crude mode of transportation.
"I'm so envious." Siris sighed while looking at the sky.
Harry understood what she was envious of. She also hoped to be like Ron and the others, sharing the world's James Peverell with the Lily of this world.
"What kind of person is Harry's mother?" Harry couldn't help but ask.
"She?" Sirius said after a moment of silence, "A witch who is beautiful, kind, cheerful, and so good that even I can't be jealous."
("Of course." Snape nodded.)
"I also have to admit that she deserves James better than me."
"But I can't help it. I can't suppress my love for him," Sirius looked at Harry's face that was very similar to James Peverell, his face flushed, and his hands trembled forward unconsciously, "James, James"
Just when the fingertips were about to touch Harry's face, a hand was placed on Sirius's shoulder, and the drowsy magic made her body limp and fell into the man's arms.
"Now you understand why she is not allowed to attend the wedding." The speaker was Severus Snape. She looked at Sirius in her arms with disgust, "If she were here, she would definitely keep screaming again. That man’s name ruined Harley’s wedding.”
Harry nodded without communicating too much with her, even though she was a guest at tomorrow's wedding.
He also had a bad relationship with the Snape of this world.
No matter which world, Snape liked Lily, even if he was a woman in this world.
Likewise, she disliked Harry, who looked like James Peverell.
The difference is that because the Harry in this world is a woman, she still looks like her mother.
The Snape of this world dotes on Harry very much. Her biggest hobby is to find excuses to give her points, even though Harry is actually a Gryffindor and she is the headmaster of the rival college.
Harry looked around. Since Ron and the others were not there, he couldn't find anyone else to chat with.
Krum and Cedric kept winking whenever he came near.
Furong, on the other hand, thought he was too scumbag and couldn't stand him.
As for Percy, Harry, who married his sister, also didn't get a good look from him.
Ron's two twin sisters, Freida and Georgiana, had a very bad reputation among wizards, and he had not had much communication with them.
In the end, he could only look straight at the Black Lake, as if he could see through flowers.
No, the water surface is really blooming!
The calm, dark water surface turned into huge splashes, and the waves crashed against the wet lake shore - and then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake. come out
A long black pole-like object slowly rose from the whirlpool, and then Harry saw the sail rigging.
Krum stood on tiptoe subconsciously. He was very familiar with this way of appearing.
This is how Durmstrang showed up at Hogwarts.
Although the Black Lake is an inland lake, the magic boat they drove can use magic shortcuts to go to other waters, just like the Floo Network goes to other fireplaces through the fireplace.
"We're here." Percy took the lead, followed by Penelope, his fiancée, and Frieda and Georgiana.
Harry and the others hurried to follow.
The big ship had risen out of the water. It looked magnificent, as if it was carved from white marble and then painted with luxurious gold paint.
With a splash of water, the big ship completely emerged, bumping on the choppy water, and began to sail towards the lakeshore.
A moment later, there was a splash, and an anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then there was another snap, and a wooden board was placed on the lakeshore.
And Harry and the others were now standing on the lawn by the lake.
They could clearly see the people coming towards them.
Leading the group was a handsome young man with long platinum hair and a snake staff, holding the arm of a beautiful woman with gray hair.
(The unshaven Malfoy in Azkaban couldn't believe it was him. He wasn't so handsome when he was young. Narcissa wasn't so beautiful either.)
(In Malfoy Manor, Narcissa Malfoy was extremely excited. She really felt like she was marrying off her daughter.)
Harry looked at them several times before he recognized that they were Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy.
They were too young in this world, and they were much more handsome.
Behind them was a red-haired couple, who were also young and beautiful. After noticing Harry's gaze, they waved to him enthusiastically.
Although Mr. Weasley was no longer bald and Mrs. Weasley was hot and no longer bald, Harry still recognized their identities at once.
(Mr. Weasley couldn't stop looking at the hotter and prettier Mrs. Weasley. He began to feel lucky that he was working overtime now.)
(Mrs. Weasley's eyes flashed with memories, remembering the school days with her husband.)
However, the two figures that attracted Harry the most were the following ones.
A very beautiful woman with dark red hair and green eyes like his.
("Lily~" Snape's face was distorted with excitement, because he felt that he had betrayed Lily and actually felt that this Lily was more beautiful and charming.)
The tall, thin man with black hair next to him had messy hair, and a bunch of hair on the back of his head stood up disobediently, just like Harry's.
("James~" Almost at the same time as Snape, Sirius began to go crazy.)
Harry's eyes were wet unconsciously, and he seemed to have the illusion of seeing his parents.
