If possible, Avella would not have wanted to receive a letter from the Ministry of Magic on Christmas Eve morning - which should have been a wonderful morning.

It was sent by an owl with white and gray feathers.Judging from its size, it was easy to tell that if this owl was placed in the wizard letter post, it would take at least one Galleon to make it accept the order, and the sender must be in a hurry.Its guts were obviously much greater than the owl that Avella had found before, because it flew in through the open window of Karen's house with the letter in its mouth, and landed on Avella's shoulder accurately.

"Ministry of Magic?" Alice was lying on the sofa, her elbows resting on Jasper's thigh and she raised her head to look at Avella with a complicated face, "Oh, two men and two women, and the previous one called Moody's man is here too~"

Sirius rushed down from upstairs—Avella felt that his behavior was a big dog. He rushed in front of her, staring closely at the letter in her hand.Apparently, he saw the owl from the window of the room.

"It's Minister Bagno." Avella frowned, she turned the letter over and showed Sirius the address.

She has no impression of this young female minister who has been in office for more than a year, but as one of the members of the Ministry of Magic, even if it may soon become a thing of the past, Avella feels that it seems very strange for her to throw away the letter now. Inappropriate - no, very inappropriate, after all she hadn't been fired by the Aurors.In desperation, she could only open it in Sirius' line of sight, and looked at it at a glance.She's glad she didn't throw it away.

Dear Will:

I'm actually very reluctant to bother you - and your current family, of course - before this wonderful holiday.But please forgive me, because I have heard some... very unpleasant and sad news here, so I have to meet with you in person.If you are on time, I, President Tonks, Director Scrimgeour, and Moody will arrive at your present residence at eight o'clock sharp on Christmas Eve.I hope it won't cause you any trouble then, that's not what I want to see.

See you then.

Sincerely, Millicent Bagnau.

A short notice—Avella knew it was just a notice, because Bagno didn't give her any wiggle room.They will arrive at Karen's house at eight o'clock tonight, and Avella has even seen the angry Rosalie and Emmett, whose muscles are tense and ready to attack at any time.However, she believes that as long as the visitor's aura is too intrusive and annoying, the first person to attack them will be a newborn named Avella Cullen.

"At least she informed me." Sirius said suddenly, and Avella had to admit that he was right.

"Maybe I should... set the meeting place somewhere else." Avella frowned, because she really couldn't convince herself to let the Ministry of Magic members walk into Karen's house. She didn't think it should be .

Alice stopped her: "Then they will think that Mr. Big Dog is indeed hiding here."

This dilemma made Avella annoyed, and Sirius rarely said a word—he knew that he was able to hide here because of Avella, and he was as grateful to the Karen family as Avella.He regretted his powerlessness in the middle of the night countless times, and almost every night he fell asleep in a state of extreme annoyance.

But Sirius Black would never know how many times Elvira had thanked her family without his knowledge, and each time she would get a kind look back from her family.But this still can't dispel the guilt in Avella's heart.

It was a very contradictory emotion - because Elvira didn't know where else she could hide Sirius from being discovered besides the Karen's house; and the Ministry of Magic's suspicion of her had not diminished, so even though they were in Usually because of the fear of vampires, they rarely bother - or monitor, but that doesn't mean they won't.The last thing Elvira wants to see is that the quiet life of Karen's family is broken.

"Alice." Edward's voice suddenly came down from the second floor.

"Yes?" Alice turned around and lay on Jasper's lap, raised her eyes to look down at the reddish-brown haired vampire leaning on the mahogany pole.But before the vampire could speak, she jumped up excitedly, "Really?"

Avella and Sirius also turned their heads to look at Alice at the same time. Compared with Sirius' doubts, Avella had understanding, gratitude and guilt.

"Esme?" Edward turned his head suddenly, and Esme's figure appeared beside Edward.She took her son's arm and smiled at Alice: "Although I don't know what you are planning, please be sure to add me and Carlisle, okay?"

"Of course, Mommy~" Alice put her hands on her hips and tilted her head, pouted slightly and blinked her eyes twice, then happily pulled Jasper up and shook his arm, "Hey! Jasper, you look so handsome !"

Emmett and Rosalie appeared at the stairway between the first and second floors at the same time. She flipped her golden hair and said to Alice, "If you want to play, add me and Emmett."

"I really want to have a real fight if I can." Emmett smiled with eight teeth showing.

"No." Esme had stopped Emmett's thoughts upstairs, "No matter what you do, you can't have this activity." She looked at Alice warningly, and then at Edward.Finally, he looked softly at Avella, and said to the little girl whose lips were slightly pursed and her eyes were trembling, "Ivy, so I will trouble you to watch the house for us tonight, can you?"

It was only then that Sirius realized what the Karen family wanted to do.

"...Of course, Mom." Avella called out for the first time, "Although I don't know what you are going to do, you will bring me a copy, right?" Edward said with his head down and an unknown smile on the corner of his mouth.

The auburn-haired vampire heard something, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up: "Of course." He answered for everyone.

When Alice dragged Jasper upstairs and began to discuss tonight's itinerary excitedly, Sirius and Avella looked at each other, and the latter smiled at him.But then she looked at Sirius thoughtfully.

Sirius raised his eyebrows, as he said before, he was familiar with all the girl's expressions - although this expression was rare, he did see it on her face when she thought of some bad idea.

"They don't know you're an Animagus." She said cryptically.

Sirius raised his eyebrows knowingly.

The night came quickly, and when the sun fell below the horizon and darkness fell on the earth, the hour hand was only pointing to four in the afternoon.After Carlisle came back from get off work, Esmera went over to say a few words, and really only said a few words. Dr. Karen agreed to go out without even asking why.Although Evila knew that no matter what Esmet asked, Carlisle would definitely agree.

But it was because she knew it that she found it so incredible—even though she had seen it many times.

"Hello." Avella buried herself in the sofa, hugged a pillow in her arms and watched Sirius eating meat pie.The called Sirius looked back at her with his mouth full, asking what was the matter with his eyes.

"Tell me, what's it like to fall in love with someone?" Avella asked.This question has been hidden in her heart for a long time. She has asked it since she knew Lily and James were together and watched them get along, but the answer her dear friend gave her still makes her understand-"If you want Give him all you have, and that is not far from love." Avella felt that she had seen this in most of the men in the Karen family, but she still didn't quite understand.

Sirius' reaction was violent.

He seemed to swallow the meatloaf whole, causing it to get stuck in his throat and coughing desperately, his face flushed red.After finally swallowing the meatloaf, he opened his mouth and found that his voice was a little hard to come out. After closing his mouth and coughing hard twice, he asked in surprise, "Why are you asking that all of a sudden!?" Could it be that Avella likes it? On Edward?He panicked enormously at the thought of himself.

"Why are you so surprised?" Avella looked at him with disgust, "Is it strange for me to ask this question?!"

"Yes!" Sirius nodded without hesitation, not only was it strange but also terrified him, "You think about this kind of question?"

Apparently Sirius didn't have the knack of how to talk to Elvira.

Because as soon as he finished his sentence, Avella simply rolled her eyes at him and said through gritted teeth: "Siris Black! What do you mean I would think about this kind of question!" Look at that posture Sirius was sure that if it wasn't for those people from the Ministry of Magic coming tonight, she would have jumped up and grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground.

With her current strength, Sirius was sure she would break a bone - at least.

"Oh, huh." Sirius pursed his lower lip unnaturally, put down the meatloaf, and showed an expert expression in Avella's eyes, "Are you sure you want to ask me?"

"Forget it." Avella made a big cross in her heart, because she remembered Sirius Black's actions in school, "I don't believe what you said."

"Why!?" Sirius straightened up suddenly.

"Perhaps I don't need to remind you of the fact that someone was a heartthrob at school—whether Gryffindor or Slytherin." Avella narrowed her eyes and raised her eyebrows.Sirius was furious, she didn't seem to have any objection to this matter - damn, she still looked very interested!

Cursing swear words in his heart, he said a little unhappy: "So you think I don't understand that feeling?"

Avella tilted her head, obviously she doesn't have Edward's mind reading skills, and she can't correctly understand what Sirius is thinking now: "Instead of asking you, I might as well ask Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett , They should be able to answer my question..." After she finished speaking, she actually showed an expression of serious thinking, and then nodded under Sirius' incredulous gaze, as if she had made up her mind.

Sirius looked at her and sighed suddenly in his heart.

—How could he like such a dull fellow?really...

The hour hand was still moving unhurriedly, and Avella dug out an Italian anthology of the last century from Carlyle's library and was looking at it with a frown.Sirius had already recuperated and was lying on the living room floor with his eyes closed. They all knew that the Ministry of Magic wouldn't be as... punctual as they said.

At a quarter past seven, the magic wave came in from outside the door.

Avella put down the book, she jumped from the sofa to the ground lightly, kicked the big black dog lying on the ground to let him get out of the way, and then appeared behind the door within one-tenth of a second without any pause opened the door.

Their figures slowly emerged in the darkness, and the one walking in front was a woman with black hair.After seeing Avella, she showed her a shallow smile.

"Welcome." Avella bowed slightly to them.
