Chapter 434
The atmosphere at the dinner was very lively.
First, to welcome Wayne to be a guest, although this guy looked more like the host than Sirius.
Second, to celebrate Harry's acquittal.
Jasmine was so happy that she made an exception and let the children drink some low-alcohol drinks, and poured herself a glass of honey wine.
Across from Wayne were the twins Ron and Harry, on the right were Arthur and Kingsley, on the left were Astoria, Ginny, and Tonks.
Including the Weasley family, there were less than 30 people today.
In fact, the number of members of the Order of the Phoenix is far more than this, at least doubled.
However, not everyone has time, and some are even on missions abroad.
Ginny and Astoria whispered to each other. Although Tonks was much older than the two, she was obviously still childish and perfectly integrated into their circle.
One moment he turned into a pig nose, and the next moment he turned into a long duck beak, making the two girls giggle.
Wayne was dragged by Arthur and Kingsley to talk about the Ministry of Magic.
"The Independent Commission Against Corruption is indeed a good idea." Arthur said, "When I was at work today, Barty asked me if I was willing to go there."
"Did you agree?" Wayne asked.
"Let's leave it at that for now." Arthur shook his head slightly, "Fudge is wary of my relationship with Dumbledore, and I wouldn't be surprised if he sent someone to monitor me."
"If I go to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, it might bring trouble to Barty."
After that, Arthur smiled and said, "And I really don't want to work under Barty, a workaholic, otherwise I will have to come back at least two hours late every day, and Jasmine will go crazy."
Kingsley looked at him with contempt, as if he was laughing at Arthur's lack of ambition.
"What are you looking at? You are so old and don't even have a girlfriend. You still have the nerve to look at me." Mr. Weasley was so angry that he was embarrassed. 13 Kingsley's face suddenly turned dark. Well, it was dark anyway.
"Then you can introduce one to me."
Wayne couldn't help laughing: "Please help Sirius solve his personal problems. Every time I go to the principal's office, his great-grandfather always nags me."
"Don't take me with you." Sirius, who heard the conversation between the three people, waved his hand quickly: "I am quite satisfied with the current situation. I don't want to find a woman."
"Will the inheritance of the Black family be broken?" Wayne asked back.
People have different standpoints and different ways of thinking about problems.
If he works 996 every day and doesn't earn enough money every day, he will definitely not consider the issue of continuing the family line.
But in this life, his family environment and the education he received since childhood made Wayne feel that continuing the family bloodline is a very serious matter.
Even though he didn't like the pure-blood family's bloodline theory, he also supported the inheritance of the ancient surname.
Hearing this, Sirius hesitated.
Seeing this, Harry also advised: "Sirius, I also think you are getting married soon. In fact, I really want a brother or sister."
These are his true words, and he doesn't want Sirius to be without offspring because of him.
Sirius was even more moved.
He imagined the scene of having a child in the future and taking care of him with Harry.
Arthur struck while the iron was hot and said: "I think what Harry said is right. It's better to have more lively people at home. Look at how outstanding my children are now."
"There are many female employees in the Ministry of Magic who often talk about you. Come and take a look some other day, and I will introduce you to them."
Speaking of this topic, Jasmine was excited and pushed Lupin aside, intending to introduce her relatives to Sirius.
Wayne turned sideways and whispered in Arthur's ear.
Arthur's eyebrows almost flew to the sky, and his mouth opened wide: "Are you serious?"
"I think there is a chance, you can ask when the time comes."
Arthur nodded dully, "Okay."
"What are you talking about?" Kingsley looked at the two suspiciously
"Nothing." Arthur pushed his big head away, his head was still a little confused.
At first glance, it sounded nonsense.
But he thought about it, it was really a bit appropriate.
Wayne's vision was really weird.
The meal took a long time, and in the end, all the food on the table was eaten, and Kreacher brought many small cakes and small puddings.
Just as Astoria was massaging her belly, another heavyweight guest came to the Order of the Phoenix.
"Mrs. Longbottom, why are you here?"
Arthur hurried to greet her.
Mrs. Longbottom greeted him, and then said hello to several people in the room, and finally her eyes fell on Wayne.
"Dumbledore said that you guys are having dinner today, and I'm here to see Mr. Lawrence."
"Madam, are you ready?" Wayne guessed her purpose and asked directly.
"Yes."
"Let's talk here."
Wayne stood up and took Mrs. Longbottom to the small compartment next to the banquet hall.
Mrs. Longbottom took out bottles of small crystal bottles filled with silver mist.
"This is all the memories of the Longbottom family, as well as Frank's friends and classmates."
"The number is indeed enough." Wayne looked at the more than 20 crystal bottles on the table and nodded.
"Are you sure?"
It was about whether her son and daughter-in-law could recover, and even Mrs. Longbottom became extremely nervous.
"About 80%. I'll try my best." Wayne didn't say all the words, but Mrs. Longbottom was already satisfied after hearing 80%.
After thanking her again and again, she left in a hurry.
Wayne wanted to invite her to eat something, but Mrs. Longbottom refused.
She had to go back to supervise Neville to do his summer homework.
It was late at night before Wayne took the sleepy Neville to the hospital.Astoria returned home with her little head nodding.
After dinner, Sirius dragged him to drink with Kingsley and others.
They drank bottle after bottle, worried about Voldemort's conspiracy, worried about the confrontation between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, and worried about many things.
But as they talked, it turned into Arthur teaching the secret of family harmony, and Kingsley and Sirius kneeling down to ask Wayne to share his experience in chasing girls.
Especially Kingsley, does he not want to get married?
That's because no one likes him!
A big black fat man, even if he is in a high position, it is not so easy to find a wife he likes.
So what Kingsley admires most about Wayne is not his magic, nor his power, but his ability to expand the Lawrence family.
In their Shacklebolt family, he is the only one!
It took a lot of effort for Wayne to escape from these drunkards.
He put Fu Loli back to the bedroom quietly, and he came to the laboratory with the memory given by Mrs. Longbottom.
Bottle after bottle of silver silk thread was poured into the meditation basin.
With a wave of his arm, Wayne's liquid in the meditation basin suddenly boiled, and the steam floating out presented the memory in the form of a picture in the air.
Wayne multitasked, watching the memories of multiple people at the same time.
The difficulty of treating the Longbottom couple was much higher than brainwashing Little Barty, and it was not at the same level at all.
In fact, his brainwashing of Little Barty was not thorough, which was equivalent to covering the real memory with a layer of false dreams. Before death, or when it was greatly shocked, this layer of dreams might be broken.
But for the Longbottom couple, what he had to do was to completely cover the already chaotic thinking with dreams, just like reshaping a person's life.
Both the volume of dreams and the difficulty of weaving have been greatly improved.
Little Barty is not stupid, he has the ability to think independently and can fill in the unreasonable parts by himself.
But the Longbottoms must help them arrange everything.
The memory pictures in the space are constantly changing, including friends and relatives' memories of the Longbottoms, and there are also overlapping parts of the two.
Wayne needs to combine these scattered memory points together, which is a lot of work.
Especially Mrs. Longbottom, her memory alone occupies four bottles, which is enough to reflect the mother's love for her son and daughter-in-law.
This is not a task that can be completed in a short time. Wayne took a rough look, recorded the important nodes, and went upstairs to sleep.
He planned to come out to treat the Longbottoms after school started, so that he would have an excuse to sneak out of school frequently. []
Although he can come and go as he pleases, he still has to give Deng some face, after all, he is still the principal.
Well, for now.
Holding Fu Loli, Wayne quickly closed his eyes.
Feeling the familiar embrace, Astoria instinctively=|
In the last period of the holiday, Wayne also completely relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful holiday time.
Voldemort's return has not yet revealed any harm or impact. He is dormant, summoning old subordinates, and practicing new black magic.
According to the information sent by Lucius, the black on Voldemort's body is gradually disappearing, from half at the beginning to one-third now.
Before it is completely digested, it is estimated that there will be no big moves.
Dumbledore seems to have guessed it. The frequency of activities has decreased a lot recently. He even has time to write a letter to tease Wayne about his swordsmanship.
Don't tell me.
He really practiced.
With the sword of Gryffindor in hand, he must learn Gryffindor's swordsmanship, so that he can pretend to be a Gryffindor heir when he goes out in the future.
Anyway, practice one or two hours a day, just as exercise.
That day, a small black dot suddenly appeared in the quiet back garden, and then quickly expanded, becoming like a bottomless black door.
Wayne walked out, wiped the sweat from his face, and put away the sword.
At present, he has studied the knowledge related to space in the inheritance of the Star-Forging Dragon King, and has benefited a lot.
The traceless extension spell is to expand the space, but in essence, it is still integrated with the outside world.
But just now, Wayne temporarily opened up a small alien space plane, which is attached to the main plane, but also exists independently.
It’s a pity that his current strength cannot maintain this space for a long time, otherwise such a portable small world is much more convenient than a suitcase.
According to his speculation and the information on the inheritance, as long as he breaks through to the legendary level, the small world can be permanently solidified.
As his strength increases, it will eventually reach a point that is no different from the real world.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, Wayne changed into clean clothes and came to Qiu's house.
Today is the day when Mr. Zhang gets promoted and gets a raise, so he specially invited him to celebrate.
In just two and a half years, he has climbed from a small clerk to the position of deputy director - although he is only a deputy, the director above him is about to retire and rarely goes to the Ministry of Magic.
It is obvious that he was promoted too quickly, so he was kept as a transition.
People who don't know just think that Mr. Zhang is lucky and has been promoted all the way.
People who know can only sigh that he has a good daughter.
Mr. Zhang obviously has some AC knowledge and knows why he can get to this point today, so he specially invited Wayne.
But after a few bottles of wine, he changed.
The rain will not fall forever, but men can keep their heads down.
"The Ministry of Magic is quite good at recognizing talent. I have worked diligently for more than ten years, and I should have been promoted long ago." Mr. Zhang blushed and began to criticize the group of insects in the Ministry of Magic again, looking very distressed.
"Fainted!"
Wayne was shocked to see his mother-in-law calmly use a spell to knock him down.
"Sorry Wayne, I made you laugh." Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly: "Old Zhang has this temper. He drinks too much and doesn't know how to control his mouth."
"I understand, I understand." Wayne laughed dryly.
"It's getting late. I have to take care of Old Zhang tonight. You just drank a lot. Let Qiu take you home."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Wayne understood the hidden meaning and took Qiu's hand and left without saying a word.
Finally, there was no annoying father-in-law to hinder them.
The two did not Apparate immediately, but took a walk in the block for a while. It was not until the fog became thicker and the temperature dropped suddenly that Wayne took Qiu back home.
Looking at the girl's autumn-water eyes, Wayne really liked her more and more.
To describe it in one sentence, even a dog would feel affectionate.
Qiu also understood a lot from Wayne's eyes, her pretty face flushed, but she did not retreat, but took a step forward and kissed her.
In an instant, the thunder in the sky and the fire in the earth were aroused. .
