Chapter 17 Engagement Ceremony
Chapter 460 Engagement Ceremony
It was the first time Harry saw so many red-haired people, and it was also the first time he knew that engagement was so troublesome.
"Don't look at me, I don't know these people either."
"You know, Ginny is the first girl born in our Weasley family for several generations."
"When she was born, many Weasleys abroad wrote letters to congratulate her."
"Not to mention this engagement, the only advantage of our Weasley family is that we have many relatives." Ron, who changed into a purple dress, secretly ate the pie.
As Harry's good brother and Ginny's brother, he was identified as the best man and was called up early to familiarize himself with the process of this engagement banquet.
"Harry, I didn't know there would be so many people coming. Fortunately, this manor is big enough." Sirius patted Harry's shoulder.
And drew out the wand and pointed it at himself, and a cold air gave him goose bumps with sweat all over his head.
"What is this?"
"Why do you have to cut a piece of cake on top of my and Ginny's heads." Harry shook his hair that he couldn't smooth.
"Kreacher!" With Sirius's low voice, the house-elf Kreacher appeared in front of them.
If it weren't for Sirius's call, Harry wouldn't have believed that the neat, energetic house-elf in front of him, with no white hair in his bat ears, was Kreacher.
Before Harry could continue to sigh, he heard Sirius ask, "You said that my ancestors in the portraits and the Weasley family have guaranteed that you will have no problem in this area."
"What is this?" Sirius took the booklet full of precautions from Harry's hand and pointed to the tenth process of the engagement banquet.
"Harry Potter is the godson of an unfilial son, and also from a pure-blood family with a long history. He is also the hero who saved the great Master Regulus. Kreacher must ensure the tradition and decency of the process."
"The etiquette process of the engagement banquet should be based on the husband's family. For example, the Potter family, the earliest historical record of its origin is Gloucestershire, England."
"The decent wizard families there will cut a big cake above the heads of the bride and groom." Kreacher talked freely and did not give in.
The big eyes looked straight at Sirius.
"James didn't have these messy rules when he got married."
"I don't care about tradition or not. Since Harry doesn't like it, then-" Sirius was about to continue, but Harry waved his hand to interrupt.
"Nothing, I'm just curious why it's like this."
"Kreacher, can you explain the reason?" Harry asked curiously.
Ron, who was bored watching his own process, also turned his ears.
"Master Potter, Kreacher knows that the original meaning of cake is flat bread, which represents happiness and joy."
"Put it on the head, which means that the bride and groom will live happily and happily."
"Cut it means spreading branches and leaves. The more pieces you cut, the more children you will have." As soon as Harry spoke, Kreacher lowered his head quickly.
As if Harry was his master.
"Children!?" Harry felt his face getting hot.
"Then let's cut a few more pieces."
"Ginny is Weasley." Sirius teased.
In Sirius's opinion, if the Weasley family had not had no girls for nearly a century, the Weasley family would not have returned to this point (before Arthur became the Director of Magical Law).
If the Weasley family had girls, those pure-blood families who wanted many offspring would not care about the so-called pure-blood traitors.
The Weasley family was despised by other pure-bloods, and perhaps there was jealousy, jealousy that they had so many children.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a huge white tent was set up outside the mansion.
A long blue carpet was laid at the entrance of the tent, with rows of delicate golden chairs on both sides.
White and golden flowers were wrapped around the pillars.
Fred and George tied a bunch of golden balloons above the place where Harry and Ginny were about to hold their engagement ceremony.
Outside, leaf butterflies with wings like jasper were lazily flying over the grass and hedges. Combined with the fountains in the tent that sprayed water vapor from time to time, it was like coming to a fairyland.
Harry was waiting anxiously for the engagement banquet to begin in the newly built tent outside the mansion.
Ron, Draco, and Sirius acted as his relatives, holding the seating chart in their hands outside the white tent and pointing the guests to the appropriate seats.
After an unknown period of time, the tent was full of people, and Sirius stood on the podium.
As the host.
He had a neat short haircut and wore a golden dress.
Below the stage, on both sides of the blue carpet, Dumbledore and his friends sat closest to the podium.
There was a sea of fiery red - unexpected guests of the engagement party, Weasleys from other countries.
The warm tent was filled with nervous anticipation, and the buzzing of conversation was interrupted by excited laughter from time to time.
The most interesting person here was Hagrid, who sat on a specially made golden chair.
The chair was as big as the five next to it combined, and the relatively short Draco sitting next to him made it particularly funny in contrast.
Professor Snape was a different picture, he looked like he was sitting on a branding iron, his expression stiff, staring ahead.
Tonks sat next to Lupin.
But she was not as quiet as Lupin.
She was surrounded by red-haired Weasley children, and she frowned from time to time, making one weird and interesting nose or mouth after another.
Mrs. Weasley was like a spinning top, moving in the crowd.
She greeted people from time to time.
Bill and Charlie did not choose to sit with their Weasley relatives.
They sat behind Hagrid, whispering something to Hagrid in front of them and even Draco from time to time.
Harry knew that Charlie must be talking about dragons.
But Bill?
Percy sat with the Weasley twins who seemed to have the worst relationship with him.
Fred and George had been trying to sell something to their relatives not far away.
But Percy stopped them and blocked their way with his body with a serious face.
Harry and Ron stood in front of the big tent, both wearing dress robes and big white roses in their buttonholes.
Harry looked nervously at the entrance, which was empty.
But he knew that the person who would accompany him for the rest of his life would appear from there.
After an unknown amount of time, a cold wind blew, and the light blue petals that felt cold on his body also came in from outside the tent with the wind.
Soft and pleasant music suddenly sounded.
In the music, wind, and petals, Ginny appeared!
She took Mr. Weasley's right hand and walked in along the blue carpet.
The wizards gathered in the tent sighed in unison.
