Chapter 1259 Dilemma
“Is the training over?”
Sirius calmly stuffed the letter back into his robe pocket, then calmed down all the expressions on his face, looked up at the three Harrys who had just returned to the living room to rest, picked up the butterbeer bucket on the table, and helped the three of them. Everyone poured a glass.
“It’s over!” said Harry.
“They all did great.”
Moody, who was on crutches, sat down on the sofa next to him, took out a metal wine bottle from his robe pocket, took a sip into his mouth, and praised without hesitation, "I believe they will become outstanding people in the future. Auror."
Moody trained Harry, Ron and Hermione according to the standards of teaching trainee Aurors. It must be said that the three of them are better than most trainee Aurors who have recently joined the Ministry of Magic.
"Harry has always been excellent," Sirius said proudly, "just like James."
"But..." Moody paused and shook his head, "If they want to go to the battlefield, they need more systematic training. A few months of accelerated training is not enough."
In fact, he was not optimistic about the next actions of Harry and the others, and he did not understand what Dumbledore was thinking.
“To be fair, Mad-Eye,” said Sirius, “Harry is not yet an adult, and he is already doing very well.”
"Of course Harry is very good, better than most people, but he has more important things to accomplish in the future." Moody said without hesitation, "Honestly, I doubt if they go to the battlefield with no experience, It’s very likely that I won’t survive until school starts in September.”
Moody did not forget Dumbledore’s last words, Harry is the most precious hope, you must believe in him.
It was precisely because of hope that Moody couldn't help but worry about Harry's safety.
Harry is too immature.
If Dumbledore had told them that Albert was their hope, it is estimated that all the members of the Order of the Phoenix would now be thinking about how to defeat the mysterious man and the Death Eaters.
"We will continue taking concealment and counter-detection in the afternoon. You'd better cheer up again. This course is very important for you." Moody looked at Harry and reminded: "If you don't want to spend a lot of time escaping in the future. .”
"Don't pay attention to what Mad-Eye said, Harry." Sirius reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "You guys have done a good job."
“Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile.”
“Molly’s side should be ready.” Sirius said with a smile.
“Well, I am indeed a little hungry.”
After the three Harrys left, Sirius said to Moody sullenly: "You shouldn't put too much pressure on Harry."
"You should know very well what they will face in the future." Moody frowned, "They must be prepared."
"Believe me, Harry knows what he needs to face better than you. What you say will only increase invisible pressure on them." Sirius stared directly at Moody and asked: "What makes you become like this?" Restless.”
"I doubt the Ministry of Magic can hold on for much longer." Mad-Eye took another sip of wine from the bottle: "There is not much time left for Harry."
"We have expected this kind of thing, haven't we?" Sirius looked very calm, "Believe me, the situation is not as bad as you think."
"Albert Anderson may not be reliable." Moody knew what Sirius was referring to: "It's better to expect Harry to defeat You-Know-Who than to expect that guy."
"No, you are wrong about one thing. Albert is more reliable than anyone else. Believe me, I know him better than you." Sirius looked at the door of the living room and said, "He will definitely not tolerate the mysterious man continuing to jump around, especially When the mysterious man still wants to kill him."
In the corridor, Harry and the three of them were chatting in low voices about the training they had just done. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Ginny walking towards the table carrying a pot of stew.
"Let me do it."
Harry pulled out his wand and flicked it towards the pot of stew, causing it to fall smoothly onto the dining table.
"Thank you." Ginny served Harry a bowl after seeing him sit down at the dining table. "By the way, I just heard from mother that Lupine is getting married to Tonks."
“Oh, that’s great?”
Harry swallowed the stew in his mouth and asked, "Do you know when Lupine and Tonks will get married?"
Hermione and Ron looked at each other and shook their heads blankly.
“Probably in the near future.” Ginny said after hesitating for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Hermione saw something was wrong. She felt that the marriage between Lupine and Tonks should be a happy thing, but that didn't seem to be the case.
"Lupine doesn't want his union with Tonks to attract too much attention, and seems to be planning to get married anywhere, but mother thinks their wedding should receive everyone's blessing." Ginny looked towards the kitchen and lowered her voice.
"what happened?"
Harry couldn't understand why Lupine and Tonks were doing this. Although he had never attended a wedding, he knew that weddings should not be casual.
"Does Sirius know about this?" Hermione frowned. She had already vaguely guessed why Lupine did this.
The situation of werewolves in the magical world is really worrying. Lupine is probably worried that marrying him will bring unnecessary trouble to Tonks.
“Sirius certainly knows that Fred and George suggested that they hold a simple wedding at the headquarters.” Ginny said softly, “I also think their wedding should be blessed by everyone.”
“Why didn’t Sirius tell me about this?” Harry was a little confused.
“He is probably very confused now!” Ron suddenly said something that no one could understand.
"What's the meaning."
Everyone looked at Ron in confusion.
“It may be difficult for the wedding between Lupine and Tonks to get the blessing of Tonks’ family.” Ron lowered his voice and said, “Believe me, no one wants their daughter to marry a werewolf.”
"I'm telling the truth." Ron shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's really cruel. If it were me, I would definitely not allow my daughter to be with a werewolf."
"Can…"
“You should know what a werewolf means in the magical world.” Ron said with a bitter smile.
“When Bill was bitten by Fingal, my mother thought that his wedding to Fleur would be ruined.” Ginny suddenly interrupted.
The family officially accepted Furong from that time.
"I think Sirius will support them." Harry said after a moment of silence.
“Sirius is Lupine’s good friend, and he definitely wants Lupine to be happy, but Harry, don’t forget, Tonks is Sirius’ niece...”
“I’m going to talk to Sirius.”
Harry got up and walked outside, meeting Sirius who was chatting with Moody in the corridor.
“Sirius,” said Harry.
Noticing Harry's signaling look, Sirius asked doubtfully, "Harry, what's the matter?"
"Well, there's something I want to talk to you about." Harry walked towards the room next to him.
"oh."
Sirius was a little confused. After saying hello to Mad-Eye Moody, he followed Harry into the next room.
"I just heard that Lupine is getting married." Harry asked straight to the point.
Sirius' expression froze and he nodded, "Yes, they are getting married."
“What’s going on?” Harry asked. "This isn't like you."
“My cousin Andromeda is opposed to this marriage.” Sirius said with a helpless smile.
"But Lupine and Tonks should..." Harry was interrupted by Sirius before he could finish his words.
"Harry, I know what you mean, but sometimes it's just like this..." Sirius looked at his godson and murmured: "Of course I also hope that Lupine can be happy, but I can also understand why Andromeda It would be a very cruel thing to object.”
“Because of werewolves?”
“That’s right.”
"As friends, of course we don't mind Lupine's identity, because I know Lupine's character very well, but my cousin Andromeda can't. Most wizards in the magical world reject werewolves because they are dark creatures." Sirius' tone was full of helplessness, "This means that the union between Lupine and Tonks is destined to receive little blessing. Once they get married, Tonks will definitely be affected and may even have to endure strange looks from others. , ostracized by wizards in the magical world.”
"I don't think Tonks cares," Harry said firmly. "There's no way she doesn't know the consequences."
"Yes, Tonks doesn't care, but her family does." Sirius' expression became increasingly bitter, "No parent would want their only daughter to marry a werewolf."
“They expect you to stop them?” Harry understood.
If Sirius didn't have to think about both sides at the same time, if he hadn't received the letter from his cousin Andromeda, he would definitely be happy about the union of Lupin and Tonks.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
“Then what are you going to do?” Harry asked.
"I choose to respect the opinions of Lupine and Tonks." Sirius said softly, "Whether they are married or not, I respect their choice."
"I don't think it's as bad as you think," Harry said reassuringly.
“I hope so!”
Sirius knew why Harry could say such a thing.
That's because Harry is an outsider, but Sirius is not, so he doesn't plan to say anything more because it's pointless.
“What did Sirius say?”
After lunch, when several people went back to rest, Hermione suddenly asked about this matter.
“Sirius said he respects the choice of Lupine and Tonks.” Harry shook his head, “But I can see that Sirius is actually hesitant in his heart. He should sincerely bless Lupine and Tonks, but...”
"This kind of thing is actually normal Harry, think about the day your daughter plans to marry a werewolf, you will probably oppose the wedding just like Tonks's family." Fred and George opened the door and walked in.
“Why are you here?” Ron looked at the twins in surprise.
“Come here and hand over the Wizard Observation Station. We have already planned to change this radio station into a Potter Observation Station.” Fred explained.
“I think the Wizarding Lookout would be great,” Harry said dryly.
“Potter Lookout Station can make everyone understand that this is a platform to support you.” George smiled and patted Harry on the shoulder and said, “You are the savior now.”
"So, you also think Sirius should stop Lupine and Tonks?" Hermione brought the topic back.
"No, I support them being together because we are on Lupin's side." George shook his head and explained, "Actually, Tonks' mother may not really hate Lupin, but as a mother, she definitely doesn't want to see it. My daughter has suffered misfortune, and I don’t want my daughter to be ostracized by the entire magical world for marrying a werewolf.”
George saw it clearly, because if it were him, he would probably object.
Reality is so cruel sometimes.
However, as Lupine’s friends, the Weasley brothers hope that Lupine can achieve his own happiness.
What's more, Tonks is not their daughter.
