The next morning, before it was fully light, the darkness of the sky shrouded everything in its shadow.

In Godric's Hollow, some houses lined narrow alleys, the Christmas decorations of some lazy people in the windows were still shining, and not far ahead, the golden street lamps that had not yet been extinguished showed that it was the center of the village, with several shops, a post office, a bar, and a chapel, which, according to the History of Magic, was engraved with the surnames of old wizarding families on the cemetery outside the church, and the chapel here has been a year of ghost stories for many centuries.

Godric's Hollow is named after Godric Gryffindor was born, and it is here that medieval Bowman Wright created the first Golden Snitch and is the final resting place of at least one member of the Peverill family.

Godric's Valley has been home to many famous wizarding families. Albus Dumbledore's sister, Ariana, and Bathilda Batchat, the author of A History of Magic and Gatler Grindelwald's aunt, both lived in the village.

Of all the wizards who have lived here, Harry Potter is probably the most famous, as he survived Voldemort's killing curse when he was a baby and made the Dark Lord lose his powers for the first time. Since then, Harry Potter has been known as the "Boy Who Never Died", and the village has regained its fame.

Outside a three-story house that was a bit desolate to the season, the ground was hardened by a layer of black frost, and Alan and Hermione walked down the gravel path lined with gooseberry trees to a door.

Alan knocked on the knocker on the oak door, and soon there were footsteps, the door creaked open, and a plump young woman looked at them.

"Hello, Lady Olivo Avery..."

"Miss Hermione Granger and Mr. Alan Harris, please come in, Pluto would be glad to know that you are here. ”

Before Allen's introduction was finished, Olivo Avery, who recognized the comer, was greeted into the house, and she barely used the etiquette she maintained to hide her sadness, looking at Hermione with a very complicated look and a hint of relief, this was a Muggle-born witch whose husband Pluto Murseber had to save him without risking his own life.

The corners of Olivo's bitter mouth turned upward, and as soon as a tear slipped down his cheek, he turned around and muttered, "Pluto would be glad to see Miss Granger that you're safe now..."

A clever robot took Hermione's coat and hung it on a hanger hook, and Olivo, with red eyes, let the two into the room, where the décor and furnishings showed that they were doing well, very cold, the fireplace was burning with coal and wood, but it was not vigorous, and a cradle with a baby dressed in pink was not far from the fire.

Mr. Skilly plans to make tea for the guests after hanging up his clothes, but Olivo organizes it to take care of the cradle instead, but Olivo is just standing about to prepare the teapot when the baby in the cradle begins to cry because he is usually taken care of by his mother and is not familiar with the Skilly Robot.

Olivo didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly went over to pick up the child and shook it gently, and in the mother's arms, the little one gradually stopped crying, and the little hand tugged at the mother's shirt tightly, occasionally sobbing.

"I'm sorry, it's just the two of us at home now, so I'm slacking. Olivo's eyes were red, her brown hair was unkempt and uncombed, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard.

"Lady Avery, I'm sorry, it's all my sake, if Pluto hadn't been there to save me, wouldn't... Departing from you. The corners of Hermione's mouth couldn't hold back the tendency to droop anymore, and her eyes instantly lit up, "He and Puppai aren't even on duty... I couldn't even say a word of thanks to him. ”

Olivo hugged the baby in her arms tightly and leaned against the wall, stubbornly making her voice sound more proud of her husband: "It is Pluto's duty as an Auror to protect others, and I believe that if it were not for Miss Granger, I believe he would have stepped forward." Miss Granger doesn't have to feel guilty. ”

"Mrs. Avery, I think... I would like to invite you to Umbrella Inc. Hermione stepped forward and leaned forward slightly to approach Olivo, she was afraid that the other party would refuse and grabbed Olivo's arm, "Please don't get Lady Avery wrong, yours took seven O's, this is not compensation, I wonder if I can have the honor to work with you?"

"Thank you, Miss Granger, I have heard of the great future of the umbrella company and the good benefits of its employees, but my family is also in the plantation business, and as the sole heir, I must take my own responsibility. Olivo politely rejected Hermione's way of compensation, as the Avery family of the Holy Twenty-Eight, although the wealthy family was ruined a little because of the clansmen following the mysterious man, but Olivo has not been too worried about money since she was born, even if she does not count the material compensation of the Ministry of Magic in this matter, the quality of life of her and her children will not deteriorate, she has no intention of going out to work, but wants to spend her energy as much as possible on educating her and Pluto's children.

"Lady Avery, did Pluto leave a portrait of himself?" asked Alan softly, who was silent—for wizards, except for those celebrity portraits that are instilled by painters, most of the private portraits are kept by the wizards themselves, and in the process of privacy, they transmit their memories and thoughts to the portraits, which are usually locked in cabinets and kept until they die.

"Yes, on the first day of his reign as an Auror, he prepared a portrait of himself. Olivo patted the baby gently and led Alan into his bedroom.

On the wall opposite the bed in the bedroom, there was a portrait of Pluto in an H94 uniform, and when Pluto saw them, he immediately stood up from his chair and squeezed out a smile on his naturally hideous face, "Miss Granger, Master Harris, thank you for coming to see Olivo." ”

"Pluto, I'm sorry. Hermione looked at Pluto in the painting, and the guilt in her eyes burned like a flame that seemed to burn her, and Hermione turned her face to see a man's dress on the bed, which was stuffed inside, as if she were lying there alone.

Noticing Hermione's eyes, Olivo said a little uncomfortably, "I can't sleep at night, so it's as if Pluto is still with me." ”

Hermione had always been a good talker, but she was completely speechless at this time.

However, as Eren pulled out his soul, Olivo's eyes were instantly attracted by Pluto's face flashing by the gem.

"Pluto is in there?" she couldn't keep her voice steady any longer, her brown curls falling loosely down her neck.

"Yes, the devil made Pluto into a soul gem, for some reason, Pluto is actually much safer to stay in the world than to go to the realm of death, I asked him for his opinion, although he did not become a ghost, he is willing to stay in the mortal world with you. Alan spread out his left palm, the soul gem floated quietly on his palm, Allen's right five fingers opened, made a grasping motion suspended above the soul gem, a trace of soul energy was slowly absorbed from the soul gem that began to break, as Alan gently pulled this energy slowly moved up from the palm of his hand, injected into the portrait on the wall.

Leaving the Soul Gem, Pluto in the portrait was stunned for a moment, and then was awakened by Olivo's sobbing voice of forbearance and sadness, and he palmed his hand outside the portrait: "Olivo, I'm back." ”

The soul gem in Alan's hand has turned to powder, and the Pluto in the previous portrait has no soul although he can communicate and think, but it is without a soul - and now Pluto in the painting is really by Olivo's side.

Pluto's movements made Olivo unable to restrain himself any longer, and tears welled up in his eyes. She stroked Pluto's cheek in the portrait, and leaned on the portrait crying sadly, Pluto's eyes drooped, but his outstretched hands could not hug his wife, his open ten fingers gradually retracted, he turned to Alan and Hermione, "Young master, thank you for allowing me to be by Olivo's side... How's the situation going with Pupai?"

"Pluto, we will take everything you did for Hermione, and I will do the same, and I will do the same, and I will draw a few extra pairs, such as having Lady Rosmerta hang them in the tavern with three brooms, and you can go there to meet when you have time..." ”

Olivo finally stopped crying, but because she was overly sad just now, her emotions had not completely calmed down, and she was still sobbing when she spoke, and when she heard Alan's words, she hurriedly thanked her.

For Olivo, the generous Ministry of Magic pension and the high position at the Umbrella Corporation were far less soothing than the portrait had given her, not to mention the promise that Alan Harris, who could drive the mystery man away, would teach the baby himself - although Alan had taught many students as a Hogwarts professor, the promise here was clearly an apprenticeship like the more traditional methods of wizards in the past.
