Ryan was a little confused about the fact that someone still came to visit him. After all, almost everyone was now ready to engage in a war that might break out at any time. It seemed a bit unusual to visit him at this time.
But in any case, no matter how untimely the guest's arrival seemed, it was always inappropriate to have the guest waiting at the door. So Ryan and Hermione quickly returned to the manor to greet the guest.
After the door of the manor opened, Ryan found Lupine standing at the door. But it was different from his usual calmness after becoming the leader of the werewolves. At this time, Lupine's face was red with excitement and he was wearing a black velvet embroidered with silver thread.
He was wearing a traveling robe and his gray hair was unusually messy.
After walking through the door and confirming that he was greeted by Lane and Hermione, he excitedly held Lane's hand and said, "It's a girl! We named him Andromeda, after Dora's mother! A healthy and beautiful child."
"
"Is this - "Tonks - Tonks is in labor?" Hermione screamed, then clasped her hands to her face and stared.
"It's born, it's born! The baby is born!" Lupine shouted, his voice attracted Rose Crystal and the little dolls who came to visit today, and soon there was a cheer and happy shout in front of the door.
Sigh.
"Let's go in and say, don't stand at the door." Ryan said and led everyone into the living room of the manor. Along the way, Lupine looked as if he had drunk too much wine, and the blush on his face became more obvious.
"Yes, it's a girl. Dora has been having labor pains since early this morning. After Qiu Zhang got the news, he came over quickly and gave her some analgesic and nerve-soothing potions - but he didn't dare to take too much, for fear of affecting her health.
The fetus. Taylor and I waited at the door for five or six hours. Finally, the baby was born smoothly, and the mother and daughter are safe. Now they are resting at home."
"Congratulations!" "Oh my god, a newborn, a new life is born." "Is this the greatness of life?" the little dolls chirped. For these special lives like them,
The birth of any new life is a gratifying event, and can even be said to be a miracle. So now they look even more excited than Lupine himself.
Ryan was a little surprised when he first heard the news, because he remembered clearly that Lupine's first and only child was a boy in the original article. But considering that things have changed so much, the gender change of the newborn should also be
It's quite normal.
"By the way, Hermione." After drinking a cup of black tea to calm down, Lupine turned to look at Hermione, "Are you willing to be the godmother?"
"Me?" Hermione pointed at herself in disbelief, because in her impression, godmothers are usually mature, older women, not those who are less than 20 years old like her.
young people.
"Yes, it's you," Lupine said and nodded vigorously: "Of course - during the discussion before departure, Dora and her parents fully agreed on this matter, and everyone thought that no one was more suitable.
——”
"That - okay - of course this is great - my God, it's unbelievable." Hermione looked very excited and happy, "We should be able to celebrate a little and relax a little."
After saying that, she ordered the robot to take out a bottle of elven mead that was not intoxicating from the wine cellar downstairs, and then filled the goblet in front of everyone with wine. After the last wine glass was filled with wine,
, everyone stood up, and the little puppets flew in the air at the same level as everyone's shoulders. Then everyone raised their wine glasses and started celebrating.
"For Andromeda Dora Lupine," Lupine said, "a great witch who is growing up!" After his words fell, everyone said together, "For Andromeda Dora Lupine.
"Then he drank all the wine in the glass.
"By the way, who does she look like?" After toasting and sitting down, Rose Crystal clasped her hands on her chest and looked at Lupine with wide eyes and asked, "The knowledge I read in the book before said that human children
After birth, he will look like his father or mother."
"I think she looks like Dora, but Dora thinks she looks like me. She doesn't have much hair. It looked black when she was born, but I swear it turned ginger after an hour. It will probably be golden when I go back.
The child's grandmother said that Tonks' hair started to change color on the first day he was born." Lupine drank the wine in one gulp, "Oh, here's another glass." He added with a smile, and soon the robot floated over and gave him another drink.
Fill the cup.
Next, the little puppets curiously asked various questions, and Lupine answered them one by one with a smile. After some refreshments were served by the robot to attract the little guys away, Lupine said to Ryan in surprise:
"They are actually alive? This is incredible."
In fact, there are many products with certain intelligence in the magical world. The Sorting Hat at Hogwarts is one of them. In addition, there are also ancient portraits from Hogwarts and some pure-blood families, as well as Wes
The mirror in the Lai family home that would comment on people's clothes. But the core of these things is only memory, not soul.
This also leads to the fact that the intelligence of these things depends on how much knowledge the people who made them instilled into them at the time. For example, the Sorting Hat carefully crafted by the Big Four sometimes looks like humans, and those portraits that have been trained by successive principals
It can also provide experience for newcomers. But like that mirror, the most it can do is point out whether everyone's outfit is suitable.
But they have one thing in common, that is, they do not have souls. In this way, their biggest external characteristic is that the knowledge they acquire has been limited at the moment they are created, and all feedback is based on
These are intellectual. They will never renew their knowledge while possessing their true selves.
And this was the reason why Lupine was shocked. He had seen Rose Crystal fighting alongside Ryan and the others before, but he always thought that she was just an intelligent magic puppet like the Sorting Hat, so he didn't pay too much attention.
But after chatting for a while out of curiosity, he was shocked to find that these dolls actually had self-awareness, which meant that they had souls. This really shocked Professor Lupine.
"Of course, they are all living beings like you and me, they just don't look the same as us. The one who usually follows me and wears purple clothes is my sister, and the others are my teacher's daughters."
Ryan explained after seeing Lupine's surprised expression.
"This is really magical!" After sighing for a while at the magic of these little dolls, Lupine said goodbye to Ryan and the others, "I think I should go back now. It took a bit long to come out this time. I
I'm worried that my family will be anxious waiting for me now."
As he spoke, Lupine put on the robe he had just taken off, and then said to Ryan and the others, "Goodbye, goodbye - I will try to bring some photos in a few days - they will be very happy to know that I have seen you.
——”
After he tied up his robe, he began to say goodbye to Ryan and the others, especially shaking hands with the little puppets flying in the air very seriously. Then he walked out of the courtyard and disappeared as Ryan and Hermione watched.
"The birth of a new life at this time should be good news." Watching Lupine disappear from the doorway of the courtyard, Hermione whispered, "Why do I suddenly feel that the burden on me is heavier now."
"Maybe it's because you have an elder mentality that arises after you become a child's godmother." Ryan said slowly, "Humans are always like this. After they have offspring, they will consider them. And now we are in a war.
Of course, you will naturally feel that for the sake of the children, this war should be ended quickly and a better space created for them."
"Yes, you are right." Hermione thought for a moment and nodded, "I just don't know when this decisive battle will really break out."
