Chapter 786: Dumbledore’s Sudden Visit
"A neighbor?"
Fred stared at the hunched witch in the distance, trying to place her, but no familiar face came to mind.
It wasn’t until George nudged him that he realized—this was Godric’s Hollow, not Ottery St. Catchpole. Of course, he wouldn’t know any of the neighbors here.
"Should I invite her in?" Fred hesitated.
With the Fidelius Charm in place, the witch would only be able to see part of the wedding—specifically, the areas outside the magical boundary. To fully enter, someone would need to tell her the exact location.
But since he didn’t know her, he wasn’t sure what to do.
"Oh! What an honor to meet you, Madam Bathilda Bagshot!"
Before Fred could decide, Mr. Weasley, who had been keeping watch, spotted the situation and hurried over, Sirius by his side.
His sudden movement caught the attention of the guests. Heads turned as people began murmuring.
"Bathilda Bagshot?" Ron ran a hand through his hair. "That name sounds really familiar... Where have I heard it before?"
"If you actually stayed awake in class," Hermione said, shooting him a pointed look, "you’d know she’s the author of A History of Magic."
