Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 993 Kanna, will you marry me?

Kyle had to admit that Fleur had a very good taste. Even though Connor had never left Hogwarts, the dress robe still looked like it was tailor-made for her.

No matter the size or the style, there is no flaw in it.

Moreover, this dress robe also reflects the most common style of French wizards... gorgeous, but not out of place.

So when Kanna appeared at the Longbottom family on Christmas Day wearing this dress and robe, she instantly attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Blue suits you very well, dear," said Sassia with a smile.

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

"Thank you, Professor." Kanna smiled.

At this time, the Weasley family also arrived.

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

The two were a little awkward at first, but soon they were 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 both like to join in the fun so much, why didn't they come today?"

"Of course not, but they may be a little late." Bill raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "This Christmas dinner is not held at Hogwarts... You don't need to bring a dancing partner."

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

"Angelina Johnson... I remember her name, but she's not in the UK. It'll take her a while to get here. Fred went to pick her up."

"Angelina…the Chaser from 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 auditorium, and she agreed.

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

"He never told me either," Bill said. "But one time I saw Fred coming out of his house with a thick stack of letters. I saw that they were all letters from him and Johnson. Fred didn't want to admit it."

……

The two of them were chatting about Fred and Angelina, which soon attracted the attention of other people around them, and they all came over.

There weren't a lot of people coming this time, at least fewer 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 was invited.

In any case, this cowardly 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 left.

Kyle also saw a familiar trio in the crowd.

Harry, Ron, Hermione.

Neville must have invited them.

But Neville seemed to have forgotten to tell them that this Christmas dinner was a little different from the one at school.

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

Sirius Black also felt 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 Potters.

Now that he has suddenly become one of us, he needs time to adapt.

Sirius had forgotten his dance partner, and was explaining something to Harry and the others with an embarrassed look on his face.

It had been a long time since he had attended a formal Christmas dinner hosted by an individual. The last time was when he was still a student.

After such a long time and his experience in Azkaban, it's normal that he doesn't remember.

It will implicate Harry and the other two.

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

Fortunately, this awkwardness did not last long, as Fred and Angelina Johnson arrived in time to distract Frank.

And the Christmas dinner will soon begin.

To be honest, the Longbottom house is not particularly big. It is much smaller than number 12 Grimmauld Place.

But with the help of the Traceless Stretching Charm, it is no problem to host a Christmas dinner.

At the beginning of the banquet, the Longbottoms once again thanked Kyle solemnly...

"Strange, this is different from what I read in the Daily Prophet." Angelina suddenly said, "It said that you only helped St. Mungo's, but from what Mr. Longbottom said, this is entirely your credit."

"Or is there another conflict between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts?" She still remembered that because of Voldemort, Headmaster Dumbledore and Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge almost parted ways.

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

"Not this time." Kyle shook his head.

In fact, Amelia Bones found Kyle after Longbottom woke up, and the two said they discussed it in the principal's office for the whole afternoon.

For some reasons, Kyle could not make this process public, and only agreed to teach this method to every headmaster of St. Mungo's.

There aren't many people who have been driven crazy by the Cruciatus Curse. In the past decade or so, there have only been two people at St. Mungo's, Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom. It's enough that only the dean knows this method.

Of course, even this has its prerequisites.

In order to ensure that the Horcrux spell is not used elsewhere, a magic contract is also essential... and it is a magic contract prepared by Bones himself, from the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and is more reliable than the one prepared by Sassia.

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

The reason is also very simple.

Once everyone knows that there is a fixed antidote to the damage the Cruciatus Curse does to the soul, it will be removed from the three unforgivable curses.

Bones didn't want that.

Because Wizard Law has different punishments for the three unforgivable spells and other curses, dark magic.

The punishment for using the Dark Arts can be mild or severe, as can be seen from Knockturn Alley.

Many people know that there are many dark magic shops there, but both the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors basically turn a blind eye.

There is also the Hog's Head Inn in Hogsmeade. Even the students know that it is the favorite place for dark wizards, and there are no Aurors to catch them either.

There are too many dark wizards, and it is simply unrealistic to capture them all, so as long as they don't do anything too excessive, the Aurors generally don't bother with them.

But the Unforgivable Curses are different.

As long as it is used, no matter if it is against other wizards or you leave it alone, even if you are just reciting it for fun, as long as it is used and the spell is recited with the wand, you will be thrown into Azkaban and receive the most terrible punishment.

This is the difference.

Bones did not want the Cruciatus Curse, a spell invented simply to torture people, to be classified as ordinary black magic. Every wizard who used it must be punished most severely.

At the same time, she also knew that if the curse was not broken, the honors Kyle could obtain would be reduced by more than half, or even all of them.

That magic contract was her compensation.

At the same time, she also promised to do her best to help Kyle win the Order of Merlin, First Class.

The main reason is that the fact that Kyle killed Voldemort only appeared in Snape's memory, and no one else saw it. Otherwise, based on this point, there would be no problem for him to get the first-class medal.

But Kyle agreed to her proposal.

In a sense, the two hit it off immediately.

So reports like that came out, the whole thing was shifted to St. Mungo's, and Kyle's involvement was minimized.

But if you think about it carefully, he didn't lose anything, or even made a profit.

The Horcrux Curse is different from the Wolfsbane Potion. It is unlikely to be used to make money. If the specific process is not made public, it is highly unlikely that it will be recognized by Sir Merlin's group.

The situation was exactly the same as it is now, but now he had received favors from both St. Mungo's and the Ministry of Magic.

Oh, and Professor Sasia, she even wanted to give all her Felicis to compensate Kyle.

But Kyle didn't want it.

He has no shortage of elixir.

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

"…The Cruciatus Curse can only be the Unforgivable Curse. I see that you are the one who told you this, so 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're one of us," Fred said generously, while putting his arm around him.

"I really hope this meal will be over soon. I really want to invite you to dance."

"Wait a minute." Kyle pulled him over. "I wanted to ask you just now, where is George? Why are you the only one here? Don't tell me he has gone to find a dance partner too."

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

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

"Oh, smart male student union president, you should really pretend you don't know at this time." Fred opened his mouth wide and said in an exaggerated voice: "You can't expose Qiu's scars just because you have Qiu. This is not good."

"Don't tell me you didn't." Cedric half-closed his eyes.

Fred uttered an incomprehensible grunt.

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

"It's just that I didn't expect..." He said softly, "that the friendship between you could be broken so easily."

"No way." Fred shrugged. "Who told him to invite Jordan to the Triwizard Tournament Ball? Alicia, Katie... He chose Lee Jordan over all the good girls.

"Otherwise, maybe he can come along this time, or he can be bolder and invite Li Jordan."

At this point, Fred couldn't help laughing.

Kyle laughed too.

"I'll tell George that."

"I can relay it to you." Fred raised his eyebrows, not caring at all.

After the dinner, there was the dance party that everyone was looking forward to.

Fred pulled Angelina and rushed to the dance floor in the yard. Just as he said just now, he couldn't wait to dance with Angelina.

Then Kyle also reached out his hand to Connor.

"Beautiful lady, can you please dance with me?"

"Of course." Connor put her hand in Kyle's.

"My pleasure." Kyle took her to the center of the dance floor.

The Longbottoms couldn't invite the Weird Sisters to play music like Dumbledore did, but they were creative and invited a centaur band, which was equally good.

……

Kyle and Connor danced three times together before returning to their seats with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

It has to be said that dancing is not an easy thing. Kyle wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the pumpkin juice handed to him by Harry and took a big sip.

"Thank you." Kyle glanced at him.

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

"Where's Ron?"

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

"At the Christmas ball, eating cake..." Kyle opened his mouth, but ultimately decided not to comment.

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

Kyle's casual question made Harry feel awkward.

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

"I know," Kyle said, "but why didn't you invite Hermione?"

"Hermione?" Harry was stunned.

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

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

"You won't just sit here forever, will you?" Kanna couldn't help but ask.

Harry and Hermione were silent.

That's when Connor realized she was right.

Unexpectedly, they actually sat here all the time.

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

"You don't have to dance at the party, but it's not appropriate to just sit there all the time."

"Of course, most of the people here are acquaintances, so no one will mind. But you will 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 immediately after hearing what Kyle said.

After the two left, only Kyle and Kanna were left here.

Cedric and Cho were 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... Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he announced the wedding tomorrow."

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

That's how Fred and George are, they always do things that are unexpected.

"Kanna..." Kyle looked at her profile and suddenly said, "If I propose to you, will you agree?"

Kanna's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. Her ears seemed to be blocked by something and she could only hear a buzzing sound.

"what?"

"Look." Kyle looked toward the dance floor. "I was just wondering what would happen if Fred really announced tomorrow that he was going to marry Angelina."

"What's going to happen?" Connor asked.

"There will be another Weasley wedding," Kyle said, "and soon, Cedric and Cho will be married, as well."

"And then by then, I'll realize that I should propose to you, too."

Kyle smiled, "But why wait until then now that I've realized it."

He took a deep breath.

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

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

But the next second, they reappeared there, the world had color again, and they could hear sounds again.

The Centaur band seemed to feel that it was a bit boring, so they played a song with a lighter rhythm.

The sound spread throughout the yard under the blessing of magic. Several fireworks exploded in the air and turned into fire dragons soaring in the sky.

It was obviously Fred's work. He was always persistent in promoting their Weasley Magic Fireworks at every lively occasion.

But the effect is really good.

Compared with traditional fireworks that bloom when exposed to water, this interactive and lifelike work is more popular among wizards.

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

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

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

Kyle put his arms around Kanna's neck and Kanna kissed him on the lips.

The music is a bit loud, but it's not bad if you listen carefully.
