Chapter 415 Proposal

"In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Connelly Fudge confirmed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned to the country and is operating again.

'I must confirm with great regret that the wizard who calls himself the Demon King... Huh... you know who I am talking about. He - He has died and risen again and is back among us. ’ Fudge said, looking exhausted as he faced reporters, ‘It is with almost equal regret that we report that there has been a collective uprising among the Dementors in Azkaban, who have indicated that they no longer wish to remain employed by the Ministry of Magic. We have reason to believe that dementors are currently working for that demon king. We strongly urge those in the wizarding community to remain vigilant. The Ministry of Magic is publishing a guide to basic defense for families and individuals, which will be sent free to all wizarding families next month. ’

The Minister's announcement caused annoyance and alarm among the wizarding community, which three weeks earlier had received assurances from the Ministry that persistent rumors of mysterious beings operating among us were sheer nonsense.

It now appears that what our minister said before is truly nonsense.

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

'Just last Tuesday night, the person who must not even be named and a large number of elite Death Eaters broke into the Ministry of Magic. Their purpose was very clear, which was a powerful magical item we had hidden in the Department of Mysteries. ’ Scrimgeour said with a very tough attitude, ‘But we were informed of their action in advance and dispatched Aurors. After a great battle, we successfully defeated the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and won. Yes, victory, it was a complete victory. In fact, except for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named himself and a very few lucky ones, the entire Death Eater legion was almost wiped out by us. So please rest assured that our Aurors and Strikers are powerful enough to protect the safety of our people. Next we...'

The above is Director Scrimgeour's speech. We agree with Director Scrimgeour's suggestion, because no matter from every aspect, he is currently more suitable to become the leader of the Ministry of Magic than Connery Fudge.

In addition, not long ago, the Ministry of Magic officially dropped all charges against Albus Dumbledore, and reinstated him as the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a member of the International Federation of Wizards and a member of the Wizengamot. position and reputation of the teacher.

Over the past year, he has maintained that the Mysterious Man is not dead, as is widely hoped and believed, but is instead recruiting an entourage to usurp power again. We have reason to believe that in the coming days, the Ministry of Magic will once again defeat the mysterious man with his cooperation, just like..."

"That's complete nonsense!"

Black's loud shout interrupted Hermione's reading and shocked everyone in the ward, including the injured Lupine, who was lying on the bed unable to move.

At this time, they were in a ward of St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic. As the newspaper said, Dumbledore had been restored to all his official positions and positions, and Dumbledore, who had regained his power, was not idle either. , he transferred Lupine to St. Mungo's almost immediately to become Black's neighbor to receive better treatment, and then rushed back to Hogwarts before the students went to bed to express his gratitude to the students who had finished the exam. Expressed congratulations.

This move certainly caused a sensation among all the students at Hogwarts, and even the professors who were originally serious had smiles on their faces.

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

However, because there was still a lot of work to be done, Dumbledore himself was not present at today's visit.

This did not affect Lupine's good mood. Lupine also missed Harry, the son of his old friend, very much.

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

When we looked back into the ward, Lupine was startled by Black's sudden shout, and his whole body shook violently.

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

All of a sudden everyone in the ward became nervous, except Mike.

At this moment, Mike was looking down in thought.

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

But it's not surprising. After this incident, a huge storm was bound to erupt within the Ministry of Magic, and this time it happened to coincide with the important event of the Hogwarts exam season.

Therefore, in order to allow candidates to take exams with peace of mind and to free up time to deal with internal battles, the Ministry of Magic may have deliberately suppressed public opinion.

At this time, Tonks on the side asked about Lupin's situation nervously. After confirming that it was nothing serious, she rolled her eyes at Black and complained:

"The patient needs rest! Black!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Hehe!" Black, who was wearing a hospital gown like Lupine, laughed twice before continuing to complain softly, "I'm just so angry that those morons from the Ministry of Magic actually took all the credit for their hard work. It’s all on me! We must know that we are the real heroes!”

"Yes! You are really a great hero!" Tonks sarcastically said, "If it weren't for you being kidnapped, Remus's hands wouldn't be..."

"That's enough, Tonks." Lupine suddenly interrupted Tonks, "This is not Black's fault!"

Hearing this, Tonks's eyes instantly turned red. She lowered her head and remained silent, but her eyes kept looking at Lupine's obviously empty sleeve.

The atmosphere in the ward instantly became a little depressing. Harry and Hermione were silent, not even daring to express their feelings.

Blake on the side also lowered his head, looking very disappointed.

After a while, Black raised his head, looked at Lupine guiltily and said:

"Remus, Nymphadora said..."

"Don't call me that name! (Nymphadora 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 faster, but he did not get angry after all, and continued:

"Well, she's actually right. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been kidnapped..."

"Don't say such things!" Lupine said with a serious expression, "The reason why I lost my arm was entirely because I committed suicide. But I don't regret it at all, because I killed that damn Fenrir. That’s enough!”

Black immediately took a breath of air as soon as these words came out. As a good friend of Lupine, he naturally knew about the grudge between Lupine and Fenrir.

But Mike next to him glanced secretly, thinking that if he hadn't arrived in time, Lupine, a weakling, would have been tortured to death by Fenrir.

However, Mike is not an idiot with low emotional intelligence. In the current environment, he did not expose Lupine's bragging in front of his friends and girlfriend, but smiled and echoed:

"This is a gratifying thing."

Lupine was obviously relieved by Mike's words, and Black and Tonks also had rare smiles on their faces at the same time.

But Mike hadn't finished speaking yet. He continued:

"But I think this is not the best news. The best news is that you will retire after success and will soon marry the beautiful lady in front of you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lupin's and Tonks's faces turned red, and Tonks' hair instantly turned pink.

"You're actually getting married!"

Black looked at Lupine in disbelief. He didn't know the outcome of Mike's negotiation with Dumbledore.

"Actually, it's because I was injured this time, so Dumbledore wanted me to retire early and go back to my hometown to spend the rest of my life." Lu Ping said, "But I think I can continue to work, so I don't really want to retire. .As for the marriage, uh..."

Lupine hesitated for a long time without saying anything, and Tonks's expression began to look lost, and the pink in her hair was slowly fading away.

Seeing this, Mike felt bad. Knowing that this matter must not be delayed, Mike made a decisive decision and said bluntly:

"Don't you like Tonks?"

"No! It's not!"

Lupine answered eagerly, which made the corners of Mike's mouth rise.

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

Hearing this, Black, Harry and others had expressions of confusion on their faces. Among them, Harry and Hermione felt that Tonks and Lupine were a match made in heaven.

As for Black, he simply thought that with Lupine's status, it would be great if a woman was willing to marry him, so what else could he choose?

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

"I...I'm too old."

"I do not care!"

Before Mike could continue to ask, Tonks on the side couldn't wait to give the answer first, which made Hermione's eyes start to shine.

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

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

Facing Tonks' somewhat hysterical scream, Lupine raised his head sharply. His expression looked very complicated, as if he was shocked that Tonks was so stubborn, but also seemed to be moved.

Finally, Lupine couldn't bear it anymore. He stared at Tonks with red eyes and yelled:

"Don't you understand? I am a werewolf! You and I will not be happy together! Think about it, if we get married, then I will most likely transmit the virus to you, and the children we will give birth to in the future will also It will be a werewolf! This is unfair to the child, I will definitely..."

"I do not care!"

Tonks interrupted Lupine again and looked at the stunned Lupine, raising her chin slightly. Although tears kept rolling in her eyes, her expression was as proud as that of a general who had given the enemy a fatal blow. .

Her expression seemed to be asking Lupine, 'What else do you have to say?'

"Ha!" Lupine seemed to be irritated by Tonks' stubbornness. He laughed, spread out his remaining hand and said, "I am a poor man, you will definitely regret marrying me! You bastard stupid……"

"I have money!"

Lupine was interrupted again, but this time it was not Tonks who spoke, but Mike, who had been watching.

I saw him slowly coming to the bedside, looking down at Lu Ping and smiling:

"I have money! Your wedding will be arranged by the Los Santos Group. I can guarantee that it will be an extremely grand wedding!"

As soon as these words came out, Lupine and Tonks were stunned, and Black at the side finally reacted and quickly stood up and said:

"I have money too! There are many properties under the Black family's name, and I can pick one out as your wedding gift!"

The tears in Tonks's eyes finally flowed down. She cried and said words of thanks, then turned around and knelt down on one knee towards Lupin on the hospital bed and said sincerely:

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

Lupine was startled by Tonks' actions. He looked at Tonks in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

Hermione and others on the side looked straight, especially Hermione, who looked almost moved to tears.

Mike and Blake, on the other hand, covered their mouths with their hands.

Don't get me wrong, it's not because they were moved to tears.

It's because they want to use this method to hide the smiles on their faces that they can't hold back.

Yes, both of them were laughing their heads off.

A woman proposing to a man would have been enough to make the local tabloid news even in later generations, let alone now.

Lupine soon recovered from his shock. He looked at Tonks with red eyes and said slowly:

"I should be the one to propose to you."

"You agreed?"

Tonkers stood up suddenly and looked at Lupin in disbelief.

The latter originally wanted to argue about which of them should propose to whom, but before he could say anything, Tonks threw herself into his arms.

This huge movement instantly made Lupine cry out in pain.

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

Tonks jumped out of Lupin's arms faster than before, while lowering her head and apologizing over and over again.

But when she raised her head again, her eyes met Lupine's.

A touch of red rose quietly on their cheeks, and they instinctively looked away. After a while, they couldn't help but look at each other again.

Seeing the embarrassed expressions of the two of them, Mike and the others had happy smiles on their faces.

Blake on the side exhaled a long breath.

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

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

Seeing Mike and others looking at them, a middle-aged nurse in the lead explained: |

"Sorry, you were too loud before, so we came to check the situation. But now it seems... we can only congratulate you!"

After saying this, the other people on the side also opened their mouths to congratulate Lu Ping.

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