Chapter 293 Before the Wedding

"Hurry, before the water disappears completely," the Slytherin urged.

"Yes." Harry did not hesitate, and the Sorting Hat fell from his hand and sank into the 'lake'.

(Accompanied by the splashing of water, countless audience members applauded as if they were feeling the same way.)
(Bajir understood this very well. It was normal for them not to want the [Zi Mu River] to be destroyed.)
(The problem of wizard fertility is a long-standing problem.)
(In the wizarding world where there is no contraception and everyone hopes to have many children, there are still many wizard couples who only have one child.)
(Only a few Weasleys can have children like this.)
(This is also why the movie version of Ginny has so many boyfriends despite her average looks.)
(Have you seen that Harry, who had been the only son for several generations, had three children as soon as he married the daughter of the Weasley family?)
The 'water' level continued to drop, and the basilisk's huge body was like a dry sponge, with all the 'lake water' soaked into it.

In the end, all that was left was the completely bare ground and the huge snake body.

There is no trace of the Sorting Hat anymore.

Harry understood that the Sorting Hat had merged into the lake of condensed memories and returned to the basilisk's body.

Now, the basilisk Haritan has disappeared, and only Slytherin is left.

The yellow snake eyes that shone with intelligence and even completely controlled the basilisk's death stare flashed, "You can go now. The Sorting Hat will stay here with me forever."

"Yeah." Harry nodded, looking a little confused.

He could feel how powerful the Slytherins were now. They only had memories and thoughts, but compared to her when she was still a basilisk, there was simply a world of difference between them.

In such a powerful hand, the Sorting Hat should be safe and sound.

But Harry found that there was no voice in his ears indicating that the mission was completed.

Slytherin coiled up his snake body and was ready to fall into a long sleep again, so he asked, "Do you have any questions?"

"I want to ask, is this foolproof? I mean the [Zi Mu River]." Harry asked quickly.

"Of course not. If my bloodline wants, he can destroy the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony and cut off the source." Slytherin's voice was a little impatient. "I remember I said that. But you don't have to worry. As long as the Sorting Hat is intact, there will be another chance."

On the way back, Harry kept thinking about the meaning of Slytherin's words.

The meaning of the words themselves is very simple. As long as the core is still there, [Zi Mu River] can still be revived after being destroyed.

Even if the branch system no longer exists, this system can be re-established.

The difficult part is why the God behind the scenes still doesn't decide that the mission is accomplished.

Is it because Riddle still hasn't given up the idea of ​​destroying [Zi Mu River] even though he knows that the core has been stolen and protected by others?

But according to the prophecy, Riddle should realize his mistake.

After returning to his tent in the common room, Harry still couldn't understand.

If that's the case, wouldn't he have said goodbye to Draco and the others in vain today?
He also promised them to get married.

In this world, their birth months are all early.

Even Harry's latest date is February 2th.

In this case, doesn't it mean that on February 2, which is about 4 months later, when Harry becomes an adult, he will have to consider the issue of marriage?

When he agreed before, he thought he would leave this world immediately.

Could it be that he really wants to get married in this world and then leave?
On the other side, Krum and the others were also wondering why the mission had not been completed.

"You're finally back, Diggory, where have you been?" The screen of the magic book in Krum's hand lit up, and Fleur's face appeared in it. It was obvious that the two were video chatting.

"I think. I know." Furong looked through the treasure book and glanced at the kiss marks on Cedric's neck, teasing.

Cedric adjusted his collar uncomfortably, praying that Qiu Zhang wouldn't be too angry.

(Qiu Zhang was indeed not too angry, and his breathing was slow and regular.)
(However, this was because she had Ginny for comparison, and it was also surprising that the basilisk was a Slytherin.)
"Now that you're back, we should just discuss," Krum said, "why the mission isn't over."

Cedric stroked his chin. "The prophecy says that Riddle will realize his mistakes. But it doesn't say when. It could be a few days, a few months, or even a few years."

Furong shook her head. "We should 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'll send a body to stay there permanently."

"Now, there is no need for us to inquire about the news anymore. The most important thing is to protect the Sorting Hat from being found by the magic man and his knights."

(Seeing this, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, "Do you still insist on your opinion? Will Riddle give up destroying the [Zi Mu River]?")
("Of course," Dumbledore said, "we are different from the warriors in the mission. We have directly seen the performance of the magic 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 errors in his plan.")
("So you think Mr. Diggory's version is more likely." Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow.)
("Not necessarily," Dumbledore shook his head. "The magic man himself will give up, but his knights, the group of dreamers who are willing to join him against the trend for their dreams, may not give up so easily.")
(.)

(As time went by, more and more viewers agreed with Cedric's opinion.)
(Because, during these three months, the wizarding world on the screen was calm, as if the break-in at Hogwarts and the escape of the Magic Man and his men from the Hunger Platform were just illusions that never happened.)
Right now, the most eye-catching thing in the entire British wizarding world and Hogwarts is the marriage between three ancient wizarding families.

Weasley, Malfoy, and Peverell will hold their wedding at Godric's Hollow on the 8th of this month, which is this Saturday.

Almost everyone wanted to know how this unknown wizard from the Muggle world could win the true hearts of three witches from ancient families.

But because the wizard named Harry Potter was still attending Hogwarts, even the Daily Prophet, which smelled news like a dog smelling a bone, could only let its reporters stay quietly in the office and wait for the wedding to arrive.

Time: February 1997, 2, 7 p.m.

A large and bustling crowd gathered in front of the gate of Hogwarts Castle, and a large number of them were in the auditorium.

The professors stepped aside to guide the crowd, keeping them in their places quietly, so that no witches would take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the wizards.

In this situation, even Neville dared to leave the wizard's lounge.

But he still hid behind Percy, among the wizards.

Harry stood at the front of the crowd. He looked calm but was actually extremely confused.

He didn't understand why the professors made such a fuss about just getting married.

Tomorrow is his wedding day, and it is also the day he meets the parents of Delako, Ron, and Harley. He did not go to meet their parents during the previous Christmas holiday, and he only knew that the marriage was decided after the holiday in January.

So careless?

Draco, Ron, and Harry had already left school yesterday.

Now he was waiting for transportation to take him to Godric's Hollow.

No, not just him, but also Percy, Frieda, Georgiana and other female family members.

As for the man's family, as an orphan, he chose Hagrid and had reconciled with Cedric and his two friends, as well as Cedric's girlfriend Qiu Zhang.

As for why we didn't choose the more convenient Floo Network and Portkey, it was because such a crude method of transportation was not an option for a wedding.

"I'm so envious." Hillis sighed while looking at the sky.

Harry understood what she envied. She also hoped to be like Ron and the others, sharing the James Peverell of this world 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 beautiful, kind, cheerful witch who is so outstanding that I cannot be jealous of her."

("Of course." Snape nodded.)
"I also have to admit that she deserves James better than I do."

"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 unconsciously as he moved forward. "James, James..."

Just as the fingertips were about to touch Harry's face, a hand rested on Sirius's shoulder, and the drowsy magic made her body limp 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 disdain. "If she were here, she would definitely keep calling that man's name and ruin Harry's wedding."

Harry nodded and didn't communicate much with her, even though she was a guest at the wedding tomorrow.

He also has a bad relationship with the Snape of this world.

No matter which world it is, Snape likes Lily, even if he is a woman in this world.

Likewise, she hated Harry, who looked a lot like James Peverell.

The difference is that the Harry in this world is a female and looks like her mother.

The Snape of this world doted on Harry very much, and her greatest hobby was to find excuses to give her extra points, even though Harry was actually a Gryffindor and she was the head 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 making eye contact whenever he came near.

Furong, on the other hand, thought that he was such a jerk 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, Frieda and Georgiana, had a very bad reputation among the wizards, and he had never communicated with them much.

In the end, he could only stare straight at the Black Lake, as if it could make him dizzy.

No, flowers really bloomed on the water surface!

The calm dark water was covered with huge splashes, and the waves broke against the wet shore - then, right in the middle of the lake, a huge whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug had been suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake.
Something like a long dark pole rose slowly out of the eddy, and then Harry saw the rigging.
Krum on the side subconsciously stood on tiptoe; he was very familiar with this way of appearance.

That's how Durmstrang ended up at Hogwarts.

Although the Black Lake is an inland lake, the magic ship they drive can use magical shortcuts to travel to other waters, just like the Floo Network travels to other fireplaces through the fireplace.

"We're here." Percy walked in front, followed by Penelope, his fiancée, Frieda and Georgiana.
Harry and the others hurried to follow.

The great ship had risen out of the water, and it looked magnificent, as if it had been carved from pure white marble and painted richly with gold.

With a loud splash, the big ship emerged completely, bumping on the choppy water, and began to move towards the lakeshore.

A moment later, there was a splash as an anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then another snap as a plank of wood was placed on the shore.

And Harry and the others were now standing on the lawn by the lake.

You can clearly see several people coming towards you.

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 that this 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.)
It took Harry several glances before he recognized Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.

They were too young for this world, and much more handsome.

Behind them was a red-haired couple. They were also young and beautiful. When they noticed Harry's gaze, they waved at him enthusiastically.

Although Mr. Weasley was no longer bald, and Mrs. Weasley was also hot and no longer bald, Harry still recognized their identities at once.

(Mr. Weasley couldn't stop looking at the even hotter and prettier Mrs. Weasley. He began to be glad that he was working overtime.)
(Mrs. Weasley's eyes flicker with nostalgia, recalling her school days with her husband.)
However, what attracted Harry most were the two figures that followed.

A very beautiful woman with crimson hair and green eyes like his.

("Lily~" Snape's face was distorted with excitement, because he felt that he had betrayed Lily, and he actually felt that this Lily was more beautiful and charming.)
The tall, thin, dark-haired man next to him had unkempt hair, with a tuft of it sticking up unruly at the back of his head, just like Harry's.

("James~" Almost at the same time as Snape, Sirius started to go crazy.)
Harry's eyes became moist unconsciously, and he seemed to have the illusion of seeing his parents.
