[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

After Shen Yanzhou left the principal's office, he left Hogwarts directly and embarked on a journey to Godric's Hollow.

It was not the first time for him to go out on a treasure hunt like this. He was familiar with the road, and he chose to drive during the day instead of traveling at night, so he arrived at Godric's Hollow smoothly without overturning the car.

Here he even met many familiar faces, all of whom were students brought out by him.

These students chose to settle in Godric's Hollow after graduation, and they were surprised and excited to see their professors in their student days.

"Professor! Long time no see!"

"Professor, why are you still so young, you haven't changed at all compared to what I remember!"

"Merlin, time is really unfair!"

"What's so unfair, good-looking people have the right not to age! Are you jealous!"

"Hey, what's the matter with you?"

"Ugliness brings trouble."

……

Shen Yanzhou listened to the bickering of his former students with black eyes, and searched for the specific location of the invisibility cloak while walking.

"Sure enough, it's in Godric's Hollow." Tian Yanbi said. "It's around here."

Shen Yanzhou walked for a while along the direction given by Shen Yanzhou, and came to a rather luxurious house. He looked at the name written on the house number:

Potter family.

"Potter?" Shen Yanzhou searched for this surname in his memory. "It seems to be a well-known pure-blood family. It was once married to the Black family, and it is said to be one of the oldest families."

"Is that the oldest and noblest Black family?" Tian Yanbi also had some impressions, after all, this title is too earth-shattering, and it has an inexplicable secondary feeling.

"That's right, every time something happens in Black's house, everyone knows about it, and I wish the newspapers in the entire magic world would report on their family's affairs." Shen Yanzhou complained. "Didn't they have a new kid last year? They're all named after stars—Sirius or something."

While complaining, he knocked on the door of the Potter family.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tian Yanbi was shocked.

"Come into their house?" Shen Yanzhou was taken aback by Tian Yanbi's yell.

"Frightening the snake!" Tian Yanbi said angrily. "You are the one who steals from others!"

"Don't say it so harshly." Shen Yanzhou said. "And I can't sneak in. This is not the abandoned house of the Gunter family..."

Tian Yanbi suddenly remembered Shen Yanzhou's current combat power, and was immediately speechless.

Soon, a man in his 60s or [-]s appeared at the door. Seeing the person standing outside the door, he asked, "Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm the professor of Art Appreciation at Hogwarts. My surname is Shen." Shen Yanzhou said, and he began to speak nonsense in a serious manner. "I heard that the Potter family has a long history, pure bloodlines and elegant taste. It has many works by famous painters in the magic world, so I came here to visit."

"Oh, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Old Porter felt extremely comfortable being flattered by Shen Yanzhou, without any doubt, he cheerfully led Shen Yanzhou in.

As soon as he entered the garden of Potter's house, Shen Yanzhou boasted that their garden was full of flowers, green grass, and beautiful scenery, and it was worthy of being the manor of a big family.

After seeing the Potter family's house, they praised their architectural taste as a professional level. Both the reliefs and the arches have a classic revival aesthetic.

The old Porter was elated by Shen Yanzhou's words, and sighed in his heart that although he looked young, this young man's taste was quite good, very good!As expected of someone who became a Hogwarts professor at a young age!

In fact, Shen Yanzhou, a "young man" who was almost 50 years old, certainly didn't know what old Porter was thinking, otherwise he would probably be dumbfounded.

After entering the Porter family's mansion, Shen Yanzhou saw that the mistress of the Potter family was sitting beside a baby carriage. She didn't look young, she was about 40 years old, and there was a baby boy in the baby carriage beside her. , he was crying enough to knock the roof off, and Mrs. Potter was anxiously coaxing him.

"Oh, my little baby!" Old Potter found that his baby son was crying, and ran up to comfort his baby at a loss, leaving Shen Yanzhou aside.

"This family is old enough to have children..." Shen Yanzhou was thoughtful.

"Why did James cry just after I went out for a while?" Old Potter said sadly, teasing the baby boy with all kinds of magic props, but the baby boy didn't move at all, crying as he should.

"Oh, my little James, what can he do if he broke his throat from crying? I'm so worried... It's all Barney's fault, he is always reckless and scares James!" Mrs. Potter said angrily .

"Oh, ma'am, don't be angry, James, don't cry, I'll change to a house elf tomorrow!" Old Potter coaxed repeatedly.

The house-elf named Barney was so frightened that he burst into tears and slammed into the wall while crying, stunned Shen Yanzhou who was watching.

"You say you want to change it every day, but it's been a year and you still haven't changed it!" Mrs. Potter complained, and then continued to coax James, who was crying because of her distraction.

"I can foresee that this child will be a super naughty child when he grows up." Shen Yanzhou looked at the family of three and the poor house-elf, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"What's so good about it." Tian Yanbi said. "Accidents can happen to coddling."

"It's not easy for someone to have a son when they grow old, it's normal to spoil a little bit." Shen Yanzhou said.

Only then did Old Potter notice that a guest had been ignored by him, and said to Shen Yanzhou rather embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Professor Shen, I let you watch a joke."

"It's okay, the child is very cute." Shen Yanzhou said with a smile.

"Right? Let me just say, how could there be a cuter child than James in this world!" Mrs. Potter agreed very much.When Baby James in the stroller heard Shen Yanzhou's voice, he suddenly stopped crying. Not only did he stop crying, but he also smiled through his tears, waving his chubby white hand at Shen Yanzhou.

"James likes you!" Mrs. Potter said in surprise.

Old Potter was also very pleasantly surprised: "Professor Shen, my cute little James likes you! He hasn't smiled so happily for a long time!"

Shen Yanzhou was also a little surprised, while Tian Yanbi sighed at the side, the life of a good-looking person is simply a mess, and even the baby's favorability can be directly filled up.

"Come here, sir, come here!" Mrs. Potter greeted Shen Yanzhou and walked to the stroller.

Little James in the stroller opened a pair of big black eyes, and there were two streams of snot hanging under his nose. His face was wet, so he looked like he had just cried, but he still smiled like a flower. Stretched out two fleshy claws towards Shen Yanzhou——

"Oh!"

A button on Shen Yanzhou's chest was pulled off by James.

After a while of silence—

"Wow! Our cute little James' magic power has exploded!" Old Potter happily carried little James out of the stroller. "It's amazing! You will definitely become a very, very great wizard in the future!"

Mrs. Potter's eyes were red with excitement, and the house elf on the side stopped hitting the wall, turned her head, and tears fell on the ground: "My little master's magic power erupted for the first time... what date is it today, Barney must remember, as the anniversary of the eruption of the little master's magic power..."

Shen Yanzhou was stunned at the side, and after a long while, he reached for the button that Baby James was holding, but Baby James avoided his hand, put the button in his mouth and began to chew.

"Hey, don't eat this, you can't eat this." Shen Yanzhou frantically tried to take the button out of Baby James' mouth, but Baby James had the button in his mouth, and his drool-stained hands grabbed him. hand, and giggled.

The Potters on the side were almost out of their bodies.

……

It took Shen Yanzhou a while to get rid of Baby James' entanglement, handed the baby back to Mrs. Potter, and followed the old Potter to visit the house.

The old Porter introduced the furnishings, calligraphy and paintings in the house, while Shen Yanzhou admired the collector's unique vision and put forward his own opinions on each painting, which made the old Porter feel more and more that the young professor was talented. Eight fights, dragon and phoenix among people.

After the visit, Old Porter expressed the hope that Shen Yanzhou could stay for dinner.

Shen Yanzhou agreed.During the conversation, he found that although the old Porter looked very enthusiastic with a smile, he kept silent about his family's secrets, and had no intention of revealing the information about the invisibility cloak—of course, it was impossible for Shen Yanzhou to go by himself. Asking, this can only increase suspicion.

At the dinner table, James was sitting on the baby's special chair, smiling very happily at Shen Yanzhou the whole time.Baby James was happy, and the Potters were even happier. In the end, Mrs. Potter slapped her head and asked Shen Yanzhou if she was interested in being James' godfather.

After all, he is a professor at Hogwarts, and he has a great reputation, which can be said to be full of peaches and plums.Such an excellent person is definitely qualified to be the godfather of the young master of the Potter family.

When the old Potter heard it, he immediately appreciated it. He had a good impression of this young man, and James liked him so much. It would be great if he wanted to be the godfather.

When Shen Yanzhou heard such a request suddenly, he was at a loss for words as he obviously didn't expect things to develop like this.

"Professor, it's like this." Seeing that Shen Yanzhou seemed to be hesitant, the old Potter didn't hide anything, and simply said: "Our Potter family is a very special branch of the pure-blood family... If you have read the genealogy of pure-blood wizards, you should know that we, as a pro-Muggle family, are not welcomed by other pure-blood wizard families. Therefore, the children of the Potter family were lonely when they were young, James said: When I grow up, I don't have a single friend..."

Shen Yanzhou has black lines all over his head, whose child is eager to make friends since he was one year old?I'm afraid I can't even write the word "friend".

However, what the old Potter said was quite right. The Potter family was very special. Although they were ancient and pure in blood, it was true that they were not favored by other families.

"And, as you know, my wife and I have had children for a long time, and I'm afraid there will only be a child named James in the future." Old Potter sighed. "As an only child, he will definitely inherit all the family property in the future... Sometimes we also worry about how this child can get a better education..."

Inherit all property of the family.

These words immediately caught Shen Yanzhou's eyes, but he didn't show it, he just pretended to listen to Old Potter very seriously.

"And James likes you so much, Professor," said Mrs. Potter.

"So we implore you to be James' godfather, or you can just teach him anything. James is really lonely alone." Old Potter sighed sadly.

"..." Shen Yanzhou felt that he was being recruited to be a nanny.
