"I knew you would say that, Van Lin, you always have a lot of ideas, or Dumbledore wouldn't have let you, not Harry, take over the Order of the Phoenix. Lupin said, looking disappointed.

"In that case, Remus, I'm glad to see you here, but none of us need to repeat it again, do we, besides, you don't know what you're up against, whether it's you or me or Dumbledore. ”

"That's why I'm here, Van Lin!" Lupin frowned, "I can't deny it, I might still be helpful to you, you know who I am and what I do, I can follow you and protect you, or you, you don't have to tell me exactly what you're going to do." ”

"Oh no, Remus, it doesn't make sense!" Van Lin shook his head quickly, "we don't need to dwell on it here. ”

"It's not a dwelling, it's a good proposition in itself, isn't it, like if there's a problem you're going to find Sirius......"

"You're different!"

"I can!" said Lupin, "well, I'd like to hear Harry's opinion, now is not the time to say no, is it." ”

Harry hesitated, thinking to himself, this was a very tempting proposition, especially in the future, when Van Lin lost his combat effectiveness, and the high-intensity magic attack Harry would be difficult to deal with. If Lupin had been following them, it would have been unimaginable even if they were able to keep it a secret.

Hermione, however, looked confused.

"But, what about Tonks?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"What about her?" said Lupin.

"Well," Hermione frowned, "you're married! how would she feel if you left her with us?"

"Tonks will be very safe," Lupin said, "and she will stay at her parents' residence." ”

Lupin's tone was strange, almost cold, as if he had some idea of Tonks hiding in her parents' house all along. She, after all, was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and as far as Harry knew, she seemed eager to take part in the fight.

"Well, Remus," Hermione asked tentatively, taking a deep breath, "is everything alright...... You know what I mean...... ...... between you and her."

"Everything, thank you for your concern. Lupin said sharply.

Hermione was embarrassed, at a loss for a moment, feeling clumsy and embarrassed.

Then Lupin spoke, and said in a tone that acknowledged something unpleasant, "Tonks is going to have a baby." ”

"Oh, what a joy that is!" Hermione screamed.

"Great!" Ron said feverishly.

"Congratulations. Harry said.

"Sincerely, Remus, I think we might soon have a younger brother or, how about a godson, I think I can do it. Van Lin said happily that this kind of thinking did not play out in Gabrielle's body, and Tonks's child......

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to be relieved.

Lupin tried to fake a smile, but it was more like a pained expression, "So...... Will you accept my help? Make the foursome five? I don't think Dumbledore would object, after all, he appointed me to be your Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. And I must tell you that we are going to face unimaginable magic that we have never encountered before. ”

These words were like a basin of cold water poured down from the heads of several people in Van Lin.

"So, to be clear, you want to leave Tonks' parents' house and join us?" Van Lin asked again in a loud voice.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron all stared at Lupin intently.

"She'll be safe there, they'll take care of her. Lupin said, his voice mixed with fearlessness and carelessness, "Alright, come on, Harry, give your decision, I'm sure James will want me to fight alongside you." ”

"Yes," said Harry unhurriedly, "I don't think so, I'm sure my father wants to know why you wouldn't want to spend time with your own children." ”

Lupin's face changed color, the temperature in the kitchen seemed to drop by ten degrees, Ron's gaze wandered around the room as if he was forced to remember it all, and Hermione's gaze kept moving between Harry, Lupin, and Verlin.

"That's what I thought, Remus, I rejected you before, and now ......"

"You don't understand. Lupin finally said.

"Then please explain. Harry said.

Lupin suddenly choked up.

"I felt like I made a big mistake in marrying Tonks, I made a mistake in judgment and I've been regretting it since. ”

"I see, so you want to abandon her and the child and run away with us?" Harry asked in a loud voice, "Answer me, Remus Lupin! ”

Lupin leaped to his feet, his stool knocked to the ground, and Harry was thrilled to see the way he looked at them, his face showing the shadow of a wolf.

"Do you know what I have done to my wife and my unborn child? I should never have married her, I made her an expulsion and an ostrac!" Lupin kicked hard in the chair he had just knocked over. "You only see me in the Order of the Phoenix, or at Hogwarts, under the protection of Dumbledore! You don't know how most people in the wizarding world view creatures like me! When they know about my pain, they hardly talk to me anymore, don't you see what I've done? Even her family has been spurned by others because of our marriage, what kind of parents would let their only daughter marry a werewolf? And that child ...... Kid ......"

Lupin clung to his chair, and he looked like he had lost his mind......

"My species is usually not supposed to breed, he will be like me, how can I forgive myself when I realize that I will pass on this condition of mine to an innocent child?

"Shame, so you deprive a race of its existence?" Van Lin asked aloud, "Wake up, Remus, is it not your fault, or is it a disgrace to the species that has been passed down from time immemorial to the present day?"

"Yes, so, my child, will be a werewolf!"

"So, are you ashamed of him, your child, and Tonks, you all think so, that this child is going to be a great failure, and then be put a shame in his own father's heart and will be with him for the rest of his life? ”

"What's more, Remus," Hermione whispered, tears rolling around her eyes, don't say that, how can a child be ashamed of you?"

"Oh, I don't know, Hermione," Harry said, "but I'll be so ashamed of you!"

Harry didn't know where his anger was coming from, but it was pouring all over him. Lupin looked as if Harry had punched him.

"If that new policy thinks Muggle-born people are bad," said Harry, "then what would they do with a half-werewolf whose father was in the Order of the Phoenix? My father was desperately trying to protect me and my mother before he died, do you think he would let you abandon your children and go on an adventure with us?"

"You...... How dare you ......?" said Lupin. "That's not right...... A thirst for adventure or personal honor...... How can you say that......"

"I think you're a bit of a risk," Harry said, "and you're even conceited to want to follow in Professor Moody's footsteps......"

"Harry, no!" Hermione pleaded with him, but he continued to glare at Lupin's bruise-purple face.

"I never thought it would be like this," Harry said, "the man who taught me how to defeat the Dementors...... What a coward!"

Lupin drew his wand so quickly that Harry didn't have time to reach for his own, and suddenly there was a loud thud and he felt himself flying backwards, as if being struck, and as he slammed into the kitchen wall and then slid to the floor, he caught a glimpse of the corner of Lupin's cloak disappearing by the door.

"Remus, Remus, come back!" Hermione shouted, but Lupin didn't respond, and moments later they heard the front door slammed shut.

"Harry," Hermione lamented, "how could you say such a thing?"

"It's easy," Harry said, as he stood up and felt the swelling of the part where his head hit the wall, but anger still filled his body and he was shaking.

"Don't look at me like that!" He snapped at Hermione.

"Calm down, Harry, you're getting too excited!" Van Lin said loudly, stepping forward to keep Hermione in the way.

"So, what do you want to say, promise Remus to join?"

"I don't have that idea at all, and it doesn't need to be explained, does it?"

"But what do you see him like now? a coward, a ......."

Harry pointed at Vanlin, as if he had mistaken Vanlin for Remus......

"No...... No, stop and we can't fight. She walked between them.

"You shouldn't have said those things to Lupin. Ron stopped Harry by the shoulder and said to Harry.

"He brought it on himself. Harry said, fragmentary images racing through his mind: James Potter lying at the entrance of the stairs; Dumbledore stayed in mid-air for a second, then slowly fell on his back; A green light flashed, and his mother's pleading voice ......

"No pair of parents," said Harry, "should never abandon their children, unless...... Unless they've ......"

"Harry," Hermione said, holding out a reassuring hand to him, but he shrugged off her and turned away.

His gaze rested on the fire lit by Hermione's magic, and he had spoken to Lupin through this fireplace, seeking reassurance to James, and Lupin had comforted him. Now Lupin's pained pale face seemed to be surging in the air in front of him. He felt disgusted, but he also felt a glimmer of sympathy.

For a moment, the surroundings became quiet again, as if the noise had broken in this moment and time.

Van Lin frowned, he gently brushed Hermione's hair and his eyes turned to the magical flame.

Harry's heart was in turmoil, even without the need for a detainer, Van Lin could clearly feel Harry's chaotic heart.

The connection has been re-established!

......

"I know I shouldn't call him a coward. ”

"Yes, you shouldn't. Ron said right away.

"But he's playing such a role. Harry immediately responded.

"That shouldn't ......," Hermione said.

"I know," said Harry, "but if it gets him back to Tonks, then it's worth it, isn't it?" He couldn't take the tone of defense out of his voice, Hermione gave a sympathetic look, and Ron still couldn't agree.

Harry looked down at his feet, thinking of his father. Will Jaime ever say those things to Lupin, or will he be mad at his son for treating his old friend like this?

"Alright, let's all calm down for a moment!" said Van Lin, "It's good that Remus is gone, but leaving in this way is inevitable and may cause some trouble......

"I'm keeping vigil!" Harry said huffingly, then turned his gaze to the newspaper on the table.

It was brought by Remus when he came, and Dumbledore's name appeared prominently in front of him, and it took him a few minutes to realize the meaning of the photograph, which showed a family.

Underneath the photograph is a line of text: The Dumbledores, from left to right: Albus; Percival, holding the newborn Ariana; Kendra and Aberforth.

His attention was drawn and Harry looked more closely at the photograph that Dumbledore's father, Percival, was a handsome man with bright eyes that sparkled even in such an old, faded photograph.

Baby Ariana doesn't look much longer than a loaf of bread, and she doesn't look special.

Mother Kendra, her jet-black hair pulled into a bun and her face carved out, reminded Harry of the pictures of native Americans he had seen when he saw her dark eyes, high cheekbones and straight nose, tight royal lawyer's silk robe, with a formal composure.

Albus and Aberforth wore matching lace-up crewneck jackets and the same shoulder-length hairstyle, Albus looked a few years older, but on the other hand, the two boys looked very similar, as Albus didn't wear glasses yet and his nose wasn't deformed.

The family looked so happy and ordinary, smiling serenely in the newspaper, baby Ariana's arms waving wildly outside her scarf, Harry's eyes moved to the top of the photograph, and he saw the headline: Reject the upcoming biographical essay of Albus Dumbledore - Rita Skeeter!
