Chapter 993 Kanna, will you marry me?

Kyle had to admit that Fleur's vision was really good. Although Connor had never left Hogwarts, the dress robe was still tailor-made for her.

No matter the size or the style, there was no flaw.

And this dress robe also reflects the most common style of French wizards--gorgeous, but not abrupt.

So when Connor appeared at the Longbottom family on Christmas Day wearing this dress robe, it instantly attracted a lot of attention.

"You are very suitable for blue, dear." Sassia said with a smile.

She was also on the list of invited guests, but she did not leave Hogwarts with Kyle Connor.

"Thank you, professor." Connor smiled.

At this time, the Weasley family just arrived.

"Arthur, Molly---" Frank Longbottom, who was responsible for receiving guests, shouted happily and walked quickly towards the two people in front.

The two were a little awkward at first, but soon immersed in the joy of reunion.

Kyle looked behind them, but only saw Bill and Fleur.

"Looking for Fred and George?" Bill came over and asked,

"They like to join in the fun, so why didn't they come today?"

"Of course not, but they may be late." Bill raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "This Christmas dinner is not held at Hogwarts - you need to bring a dance partner."

"Huh?" Kyle understood immediately. "Who is it?"

"Angelina Johnson - I remember her name, but she is not in the UK, and it takes a while for her to come here, Fred went to pick her up."

"Angelina - the chaser of Gryffindor?"

"Yes, that's her." Bill nodded, "I heard that Johnson was his dance partner at the Triwizard Tournament Ball."

"That's right." Kyle said.

He also remembered that Fred invited Angelina in the hall, and the other party agreed.

"But Fred never told me that they were still in contact."

"He never told me either." Bill said, "But once again I saw Fred coming out of his house with a thick stack of letters.

I saw them, all from him and Jason, and Fred didn't want to admit it."

The two chatted about Fred and Angelina, and soon attracted the attention of others around them, who came over one after another.

There weren't many people coming this time, at least less than Kyle had imagined.

Except for the Longbottom family. Almost all the others had appeared in the Order of the Phoenix.

The Weasleys, Cedric, Lupin, Tonks, Hagrid, Dedalus, Doggie--all acquaintances.

Even Mundungus received an invitation.

In any case, this timid wizard also provided a lot of information to the Order of the Phoenix. In the eyes of the Longbottoms, he was also one of the few companions.

Kyle also saw a familiar trio in the crowd.

Harry, Ron, Hermione.

It should be Neville who invited them.

It was just that Neville seemed to have forgotten to tell them that this Christmas dinner was different from the one in school.

None of the three brought a dance partner, and they looked a little out of place standing in the crowd.

Sirius was also out of place, and his situation was even more awkward.

Because in Frank Longbottom's memory, he was still the Death Eater who betrayed the Potter family.

Now he suddenly became one of them, and he needed time to adapt.

And Sirius was also embarrassed to explain something to Harry and the others because he forgot his dance partner.

He hadn't attended a formal Christmas dinner hosted by an individual for a long time, and the last time was when he hadn't graduated.

After such a long time, plus the experience in Azkaban, it was normal for him not to remember.

It was Harry and the other two who were implicated.

So when Frank Longbottom walked over to greet him, both of them felt a little unnatural.

Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last too long, and Fred and Angelina Johnson arrived in time to distract Frank's attention.

And the Christmas dinner started soon.

To be honest, the Longbottom family is not particularly large, much smaller than No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

But with the help of the traceless extension spell, it is no problem to hold a Christmas dinner.

At the beginning of the banquet, the Longbottom couple once again solemnly thanked Kyle-

"Strange, how come this is different from the news I saw in the Daily Prophet." Angelina suddenly said at this time: "It says that you only helped St. Mungo's, but I heard from Mr. Longbottom that this is entirely your credit."

"Or is it that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts are in conflict again?" She still remembered that because of Voldemort, Headmaster Dumbledore and Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge almost parted ways.

That was the case at that time, and Fudge also controlled the newspapers to discredit Dumbledore.

"It's really not this time." Kyle shook his head.

In fact, Amelia Bones found Kyle after Longbottom woke up. The two said that they discussed it in the headmaster's office for an entire afternoon. For some reasons, Kyle could not make this process public, and only promised to teach this method to every headmaster of St. Mungo's.

There are actually not many people who have been tortured crazy by the Cruciatus Curse. In the past ten years, there have only been two people in St. Mungo's, Longbottom and his wife. It is enough that only the headmaster knows this method.

Of course, even this has preconditions.

In order to ensure that the Horcrux Curse is not used elsewhere, a magical contract is also indispensable - and it is a magical contract prepared by Bones himself, from the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and is more reliable than the one prepared by Sacia.

At the same time, she didn't ask why. Her only request was that Kyle would agree to conceal the matter.

The reason is also very simple.

Once everyone knows that the Cruciatus Curse has a fixed cure for its damage to the soul, it will be eliminated from the three unforgivable curses.

Bones didn't want that.

Because the "Wizards' Law" has different penalties for the three unforgivable wraths and other curses, black magic.

The punishment for using black magic can be light or severe, as you can see by looking at Knockturn Alley.

Many people know that there are many dark magic shops there, but whether it is the Ministry of Magic or the Aurors, they basically turn a blind eye.

There is also the Pig's Head pub in Hogsmeade. Even the students know that it is the favorite place for dark wizards. There are also no Aurors to arrest them.

There are too many dark wizards, and it is simply unrealistic to capture them all, so as long as they don't go too far, Aurors usually don't bother to deal with them.

But the Unforgivable Curse is different.

As long as you use it, whether it is for other wizards, or if you let it go, even if you are thinking about it for fun, as long as you use it and say the spell with the wand, you will be imprisoned in Azkaban and receive the most terrible punishment.

That's the difference.

Bones didn't want the Cruciatus Curse to be like this. A curse invented simply to torture people was classified into ordinary black magic. Every wizard who used it must receive the most severe punishment.

At the same time, she also knew that if the curse had not been broken, the honor that Kyle could receive would have been reduced by more than half, or even all of it.

That magic contract is her compensation,

At the same time, she also promised that she would do her best to help Kyle win the first-class medal of the Order of Merlin.

The main reason is that Kyle's killing of Voldemort only appeared in Snape's memory, and no one else saw it. Otherwise, on this point, there would be absolutely no problem with a first-class medal.

But Kyle agreed to her proposal.

In a sense, the two hit it off.

So that report came out, and the whole thing was moved to St. Mungo's, and Kyle's involvement was minimized.

But thinking about it carefully, he didn't lose anything, or rather he gained.

The Horcrux Curse is different from the Wolfsbane Potion. It is unlikely to be used to make money. If the specific process is not disclosed, there is a high probability that it will not be recognized by Sir Merlin.

This situation can be said to be exactly the same as now, but now he has received two favors from St. Mungo's and the Ministry of Magic.

Oh, and Professor Sasia, she even wanted to use all her elixirs to compensate Kyle.

But Kyle didn't want it.

He has no shortage of elixirs of good fortune.

Kyle picked out some key points and briefly explained them to Angelina.

""——The Cruciatus Curse can only be the Unforgivable Curse. I think you are the only one who told you this. Don't let it slip. "

Kyle whispered, but Angelina's face suddenly turned red and she subconsciously looked at Fred next to her.

"He's right, you are one of our own." Fred said generously, and at the same time stretched out his arms to hug the other person,

"I really wish this meal would be over soon. I'd love to ask you to dance."

"Wait a minute." Kyle pulled him over, "I just wanted to ask, where is George, why are you the only one here? Don't tell me that he also went to pick up his dance partner."

"Ah, no." Fred couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "He said he was not interested in this dinner and wanted to stay in the store."

"I guess he doesn't want to come because he doesn't have a dance partner." Cedric's voice came from the side.

"Oh, smart boy student council president, you should really pretend not to know at this time." Fred opened his mouth wide and said in an exaggerated voice: "You can't just expose his scars just because you are young. This is not good. "

"Don't tell me you didn't do it." Cedric half-squinted his eyes.

Fred grunted incomprehensibly.

Obviously, Cedric is qualified as a close friend, he knows these two Weasleys too well.

"It's just that I didn't expect——"

He said softly: "How can the friendship between you be broken so easily."

"No way." Fred shrugged, "Who asked him to invite Jordan to the Triwizard Tournament ball, Alia, Katie... there were so many good girls he didn't choose, but he chose Li... Jordan: “Otherwise, he might be able to come together this time, or he might be bolder and invite Lee Jordan again. "

At this point, Fred couldn't help laughing.

Kyle smiled too.

"I'll tell George that."

"I can paraphrase it for you." Fred raised his eyebrows without caring at all.

After the dinner was the dance that everyone was looking forward to.

Fred took Angelina and rushed to the dance floor in the courtyard first. As he said just now, he couldn't wait to dance with Angelina.

Then, Kyle also extended his hand to Connor.

"Beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance?"

"Of course." Connor put her hand on Kyle's palm.

"My pleasure." Kyle led her to the middle dance floor.

The Longbottoms were not able to invite the weird sisters to play music like Dumbledore, but they were ingenious and invited a centaur band, and the effect was equally good.

Kyle and Connor danced three dances together. Then they returned to their seats with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

It must be said that dancing is not an easy thing. Kyle wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a big sip of pumpkin juice from Harry.

"Thank you." Kyle glanced at him.

Next to him, Hermione also gave Connor a glass of pumpkin juice.

"Where's Ron?"

"Oh, he went to the other side." Harry said, "It seems that there is a kind of cake he likes to eat there."

"At the Christmas ball, eating cake." Kyle opened his mouth and finally decided not to make any comments.

"By the way, why are you still here?"

Kyle's casual question made Harry become shy.

"I---I didn't bring a dance partner. I thought I was just here for dinner, like when I was at Hogwarts."

"I know." Kyle said, "But why didn't you invite Hermione."

"Hermione?" Harry was stunned for a moment.

Not only him, but also Hermione next to him was stunned.

It felt like they just realized that the other person was also a girl (boy).

"You won't sit here all the time." Connor couldn't help asking.

Harry and Hermione were silent.

At this time, Connor realized that she guessed right.

Unexpectedly, they really sat here all the time.

"Okay." Kyle put down the pumpkin juice in his hand, "Let me just remind you, Harry, you have graduated from Hogwarts, and Hermione, you too.

"You don't have to dance at the ball, but sitting next to you all the time is not so appropriate."

"Of course, most of them are acquaintances this time, no one will care, but you always have to attend another dinner or dance."

"Sometimes, dancing with two good friends is also a good choice, at least it can help you reject invitations you don't like. "

Harry was smart enough to invite Hermione after hearing what Kyle said.

When the two left, Kyle and Connor were the only ones left.

Cedric and Qiu went somewhere, probably on the other side, but Fred and Angelina were still dancing.

"It's incredible. I never realized that they wrote letters to each other for several years after graduation." Connor held her chin and asked curiously, "When do you think they will announce their marriage?"

"I don't know." Kyle thought for a moment, "But if it's Fred——" To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised even if he announced the wedding tomorrow."

"That's right." Connor nodded in agreement.

Fred and George are like this, they always do something unexpected.

"Connor——"" Kyle looked at her profile and suddenly said, "If I propose to you, will you agree to it?"

"Connor's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, her ears seemed to be blocked by something, and she only heard a buzzing sound.

"What?"

"That's right." Kyle looked towards the dance floor. "I was just thinking, what would happen if Fred really announced that he was going to marry Angelina tomorrow."

"What would happen?" Connor asked.

"The Weasleys will have another wedding." Kyle said, "and soon, Cedric and Qiu will also get married."

"Then by then, I will realize that I should propose to you too."

Kyle smiled, "But since I have realized it, why wait until then."

He took a deep breath.

"So, Ms. Connor Prince, will you marry me?"

The quiet night sky, the noisy dance, the melodious or noisy dance, all seemed to disappear at this moment.

But the next second, they reappeared there, the world regained color, and they could hear the sound again.

The Centaur Band seemed to feel a little boring, so they played a song with a lighter rhythm.

The sound spread throughout the yard under the blessing of magic, and several fireworks exploded in the air, turning into the shape of fire dragons flying in the sky.

It was Fred's work at first glance. He was always obsessed with promoting their Weasley Magic Fireworks in every lively occasion.

But the effect was really good.

Compared with the traditional fireworks that bloomed when seeing water, this interactive and lifelike work was more favored by wizards.

The people around were more excited, and some people who were just about to take a break also rejoined the dance floor in this cheerful atmosphere.

Amid the deafening cheers, Connor's mouth moved slightly.

Then, Kyle smiled and naturally stretched out his hand. The two hugged each other under the fireworks.

Kyle hugged Connor's neck, and Connor kissed his lips.

The music was a bit noisy, but it was not bad if you listened carefully.
