Ryan was a little confused by the fact that there were still people running to the door, after all, almost all of them were now ready to devote themselves to a war that might break out at any time, and it seemed a little abnormal to visit the door at this time.

But in any case, no matter how inopportune this guest may seem to be, it's always an inappropriate thing to have a guest waiting at the door. So Ryan and Hermione quickly returned to the manor to greet the guests.

When the door to the manor opened, Ryan found that it was Lupin standing in the doorway. It's just that unlike the usual composure after becoming the leader of the werewolves, Lupin's face was red with excitement at this time, wearing a traveling robe embroidered with black velvet and silver filigree, and his gray hair was unusually messy.

After walking in the door to make sure it was Lane and Hermione, he excitedly shook Ryan's hand and said, "It's a girl! We named him Andomeda, using Dora's mother's name!, a healthy and beautiful child." ”

"Is this—" Tonks- Tonks is born?" Hermione screamed, then clasped her hands over her face and widened her eyes.

"Born, born, born!" Lupin shouted, his voice calling Rose Crystal and the little dolls who had come to visit today, and soon there was a cheer and sigh of relief in front of the door.

"Let's go in and say, don't stand at the door. Ryan said as he walked into the living room of the manor with the big guy, and along the way Lupin was as fluttery as if he had drunk too much wine, and the flush on his face became more pronounced.

"Yes, it's a girl. Dora has been in labor since early this morning, and then Qiu Zhang quickly came over to give her some analgesic and nerve-soothing potions after getting the news - but she didn't dare to do too much, for fear of affecting the fetus. Taylor and I waited at the door for five or six hours, and finally the baby was born smoothly, and the mother and daughter were safe, and now they are both resting at home. ”

"Congratulations!" "Oh my God, a newborn, a new life is born." "Is this the greatness of life?" the little puppets chirped, and for their special beings, the birth of any new life is a gratifying event, even a miracle. So now they looked a little more excited than Lupin himself.

Ryan was a little surprised when he first heard the news, because he remembered very well that Lupin's first and only child was a boy. But think about how much things have changed, so it should be normal for the newborn to change sex.

"By the way, Hermione. After drinking a cup of black tea to calm down, Lupin turned to look at Hermione, "Would you like to be a godmother?"

"Me?" Hermione pointed at herself in disbelief, for she had the impression that godmothers were generally mature, older women, not young people like her, who were not yet 20 years old.

"Yes, it's you," Lupin said and nodded vigorously, "Of course - in the discussion before the departure, Dora and her parents completely agreed on this matter, and everyone agreed that no one was more suitable-"

"That's—okay—of course it's excellent—oh my God, it's unbelievable. Hermione looked excited and happy, "We should be able to celebrate a little bit, relax a little bit." ”

With that, she instructed the robot to take out a bottle of elven honey from the cellar downstairs, and then filled the goblets in front of each of them. After the last glass was filled, everyone stood up, and the dolls flew in mid-air at everyone's shoulder level. Then everyone raised their glasses and began to celebrate.

"For Andomeda Dora Lupin," said Lupin, "a great witch who is growing!", and after his voice fell, everyone said together, "for Andomeda Dora Lupin." Then he drank the wine from the glass.

"By the way, who does she look like?" After sitting down after toasting, Rose Crystal folded her hands on her chest and looked at Lupin with wide eyes, "I have read in books before that human children will look like their own father or mother when they are born. ”

"I think she's like Dora, but Dora thinks she's like me. The hair was not much, and it looked black when I was born, but I swore it would turn turmeric after an hour, and probably be golden by the time I returned. The child's grandmother said Tonks' hair began to change color on the first day of his birth. Lupin drank his down, "Oh, another drink." He added with a smile, and soon the robot floated in and filled his cup for him.

The dolls then asked all sorts of questions curiously, and Lupin smiled and answered them one by one. After some refreshments were brought up by the robot to lure the little ones away, Lupin said to Ryan in surprise, "It's incredible that they're really alive?" ”

In fact, there are many products of a certain intelligence in the wizarding world, and the Sorting Hat at Hogwarts is one of them, in addition to the old portraits of Hogwarts and some pure-blood families, and the mirror in the Weasley Burrow. But these things are only memories and not souls at the core.

As a result, the intelligence of these things depends on how much knowledge they were instilled in them at the time, such as the Sorting Hats crafted by the Big Four that sometimes resemble humans, and the portraits that have been trained by the headmasters to provide experience for those who come after them. But like that mirror, at most, it is to indicate whether everyone is dressed appropriately or not.

But they have one thing in common, and that is that they don't have souls. In this way, the most important feature of their outward appearance is that the knowledge they have acquired has been limited at the moment they are created, and all feedback is based on this knowledge. They never renew their knowledge and at the same time have their true selves.

And this is the reason why Lupin was shocked, he had also seen the Rose Crystal fighting side by side with Ryan and them before, but he had always thought that she was just the same kind of intelligent magic puppet as the Sorting Hat, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But after chatting for a while out of curiosity, he was shocked to find that these puppets actually had self-awareness, which meant that they had souls. This really shocked Professor Lupin.

"Of course, they are all living beings like you and me, but they don't look like us. The one who usually followed me in purple was my sister, and the others were my teacher's daughters. Ryan explained when he saw Lupin's surprised expression.

"This is really magical!" After sighing for a while at the magic of these little dolls, Lupin said goodbye to Ryan and them, "I think I should go back now, this time it is still a bit long, I am worried that my family will be in a hurry to wait for me now." ”

So saying, Lupin put on the robe he had just taken off, and then said to Ryan, "Goodbye, goodbye—I'll find a way to bring some pictures in a few days—they'll be very happy to know that I've seen you—"

He fastened the straps of his robe and began to say goodbye to Ryan, especially shaking hands with the flying dolls one by one. Then he walked out of the courtyard door and disappeared under the watchful eyes of Ryan and Hermione.

"At this time, the birth of a new life should be good news. Watching Lupin vanish from the door of the courtyard, Hermione whispered, "Why do I suddenly feel like I'm carrying a heavier burden now?" ”

"Maybe it's because it's a kind of elder mentality that appears after you become the godmother of a child. Ryan said slowly, "Humans are always like this, and they will think about them when they have offspring. And now that we're at war, you naturally feel that for the sake of the children, we should end this war and create a better space for them. ”

"Yes, you're right. Hermione thought for a moment and nodded, "I just don't know when this decisive battle will really break out." ”
