Chapter 784: Godric’s Hollow
The next morning, the weather was better than usual—not too cold, not too hot, with a light breeze carrying the coolness of morning dew.
Lupin and Tonks’ wedding was not held at 12 Grimmauld Place, as some guests from outside the Order of the Phoenix would be attending. For security reasons, they couldn’t be allowed into the Order’s headquarters.
It was purely a precaution, not a matter of trust.
After a night of discussion, they had settled on an unused house in Godric’s Hollow that had been abandoned for years.
At five in the morning, the group arrived via Portkey.
Looking at the plain and unremarkable house before them, Sirius spoke with a complicated expression.
"Moony, are you sure about this?"
"Of course, Padfoot," Lupin said with a smile. "It’s the perfect place, isn’t it? And I think Harry will be happy to be back here."
"What worries me most is actually you. You..."
"I’m fine, really," Sirius said, turning away to wipe his eyes with his sleeve.
He knew exactly what Lupin meant—this was the Potter family home, the place where James and Lily had lived, and the place where Voldemort had killed them.
