Chapter 723: The Love Story of a Down-and-Out Middle-Aged Werewolf
It was approaching midnight, and the chaotic and embarrassing day was coming to an end.
In a private hospital in London, obstetric family members wait in the room.
The sweet-looking young witch slumped down on the soft and comfortable sofa, looking up at the ceiling with a lazy posture. Next to her sat a middle-aged man with a calm temperament.
Bright white lights were cast, as if it were daytime, and the private hospital was extremely quiet late at night. Only the occasional nurse passing by could see the two people and hear their voices, but under the influence of some invisible magic power, Subconsciously, he regarded the two people as furnishings in the room, and those sounds were normal sounds of electricity.
Nymphadora Tonks received wizarding education from an early age, but her father was a Muggle-born wizard, so she was no stranger to Muggle things. This was also her first time entering a hospital.
There is always an indescribable smell here, and the always-bright lights are a little cold, but they make people feel at ease.
It is said to be a place dedicated to caring for pregnant women. We often see women with bulging bellies and slow movements who need nurses to support their families. They basically have happy smiles on their faces, and there are also young women with slender figures and neat movements. Although their faces are expressionless, they are inexplicably... A feeling of vulnerability.
Some people come here to ensure the smooth birth of their fetus, which for a wizard is just a matter of waving a magic wand, the fourth-year content of transfiguration, basic human body transformation, or using some white essence.
Some people do it to prevent the fetus from being born. This kind of magic is very uncommon. It has been classified as black magic for a long time, and it was only classified as a healing spell a few decades ago.
“I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"When Betty was pregnant, the members of the Order of the Phoenix were reluctant to go to Grimmauld Place for a meeting." Tonks said to the wizard beside her. "It was originally the Black family's old residence, but it was requisitioned by us as a temporary base, which caused the loss of the girls in the family. It was embarrassing that the master was pregnant and had to go back to his own home to recuperate, so even if Sirius didn't mention it, everyone took the initiative to reduce the number of meetings and try to complete the exchange of information outside.
"In an emergency, Moody would gather everyone at the Leaky Cauldron and refill his flagon, and we could chat with Old Tom.
"Easter night was the funniest. Many people saw the curse. Even though Grimmauld Place was the closest to the incident, we still gathered at the Leaky Cauldron. Finally, considering the news from Dumbledore, It was too urgent and the Leaky Cauldron lacked confidentiality, so everyone was relocated to Blake's old house."
Lu Ping had gentle eyes and listened to her story quietly.
Tonks took a long breath, picked up a strand of hair, and changed it to pink, which represents joy: "The matter has finally come to an end. Betty and Sirius's child was successfully born, and Voldemort and the Death Eaters were also temporarily dormant... Sigh , I can finally relax a bit this summer vacation!”
Pink spread along the hair. Lupine's eyes followed the color, and then he looked at her face. His voice was gentle and calm: "Be clear, you have graduated for several years, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic do not have summer vacation."
Tonks glanced at him disgustedly and complained in a low voice: "I know, I plan to use the vacation I saved before, even though it is only two weeks, just to comfort myself and just consider it a summer vacation."
"I thought you planned to save the vacation you saved for later, to celebrate the complete elimination of Voldemort."
"I think the Ministry of Magic will be on holiday at that time. Minister Millicent Barnold once said, "Our inalienable right to celebrate must be upheld." "
"This sentence led to hundreds of violations of confidentiality laws. Minister Barnold is still criticized today. You should know this."
"Oh..." Tonks wailed, "So there won't be a holiday after Voldemort's fall, right?"
"Do you think Secretary Scrimgeour will sign the celebratory bill?"
"He is a workaholic. At that time, he must have wanted us to work overtime all night." Tonks shrank into the sofa and sighed, "I'd better continue to save my vacation. When Voldemort is overthrown, it's best to go with the resurrection. If the holidays or Christmas are combined together, you can take a long vacation!”
Lupine couldn't help but chuckle. Tonks had this kind of magic power. She could bring relaxation and liveliness at any time and reduce the pressure on her body.
"When do you think Dumbledore will completely destroy Voldemort?"
"I don't know, but I think it won't be long."
Tonks suddenly tilted her head: "If we really go to war with the Death Eaters, will Sirius still participate in the battle... I mean, her daughter has just been born, and Betty and her daughter need his care, and he shouldn't Don’t get involved in something so dangerous again.”
"The Sirius I know will definitely join the war." Lupine said softly, "James and Lily died in the hands of Voldemort, and his brother Regulus died because of the Horcrux. He will definitely not be willing to give up the opportunity to avenge them. Even if you risk your life.”
"But Betty and his daughter..."
"It is precisely because of having children that the belief in fighting will be stronger."
"Why?"
"Because there are no regrets."
"No regrets..."
Tonks repeated it, chewing on the words, staring at the incandescent lights on the ceiling, lost in thought, "You know, Remus, I suddenly realized something."
"What?"
"Voldemort and the Death Eaters are only dormant temporarily. Not only Sirius will be in danger, but we will also be in danger. We may also sacrifice like the Potters. Just like when we were on the lawn in the park on Halloween night, when the Dementors were closest to me, I could see the gaze of the Grim Reaper under the hood, and the missiles exploding just above our heads..."
"I...we will protect you."
"I mean..." Tonks sat up and turned to look into Lupin's eyes with a serious expression, "We should not have any regrets either."
Lupin wanted to avoid her sight, but those eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, and the strange suction tied his eyes: "We talked about this, Tonks, I'm too old, I'm not handsome enough, and I'm not strong enough..."
"Do you think I care about these?"
Tonks stared straight into his eyes, pulled out the wand with her right hand, and waved it gently: "[Expecto Patronus]"
The tip of the wand sprayed out strands of silver light mist, which gathered and woven like silk, condensing into a silver wolf with a sturdy figure, exuding the same gentle temperament as Lupin.
"It's still like this after all this time?"
"It's always been like this."
Lupin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the witch suddenly moved closer, and a soft object instantly blocked his words.
The silver wolf landed on the floor, jumped lightly to the other end of the room, jumped out of the window, and dragged a silver light.
