When Anaska stumbled into her fireplace alone, Mr. Campbell was reading a newspaper with relish, and a spoon was diligently stirring the coffee in a cup on the table in front of him.

Anaska was the second to enter the fireplace, James had already entered, and Sirius was the last one to appear next to Anaska, and his arrival time was just enough for him to help the man who had almost fallen. Anaska.

At this moment, Anaska's attention was completely on Mr. Campbell, and she didn't care who helped her. She stepped forward in three steps and two steps forward, surpassing James who moved first.

"Dad." Anaska said.

Mr. Campbell buried his face deeply in the newspaper. It was obviously impossible not to notice so many people in the fireplace. He held the newspaper pretending to be calm, either deliberately pretending to be deep, or hoping that others would not notice the problem of his disappearance.

Hearing Anaska call him, he turned his head a little stiffly, and pretended to glance at his watch, "Huh? You're back so soon?"

"Dad, don't play like this next time." Anaska wrinkled her face in distress.

Mr. Campbell rubbed his head stiffly, embarrassed that his whim trick was quickly seen through.

Seeing that Anaska wanted to say something, Mr. Campbell suddenly changed the subject: "Hey, Anaska, you brought James back too? Well, the other young man must be your friend."

said Mr. Campbell, looking at Sirius.

Although he gradually restrained himself as he got older, Mr. Campbell is actually a very playful person, but he has a serious face. As long as he is not joking, he looks very serious and reliable.This is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Campbell reluctantly agreed to marry.

James and Sirius, recognized as the brightest students at Hogwarts, read what had happened from their brief conversation and Anaska's expression, and then looked at each other.

James didn't understand the so-called father's painstaking efforts. He interpreted Mr. Campbell's prank as a sign of boredom and loneliness, so he said sympathetically, "Actually, next time you want to play with us, you can just say so. We don't mind age differences." .”

After finishing speaking, James bumped Sirius' waist hard with his elbow, causing him to grunt.

"Well, I don't mind at all," Sirius said, following James' lead.

Mr. Campbell pretended to be very moved and looked at the two of them. Anaska didn't know what to say to the scene in front of her.

"Come on, boy," Mr. Campbell motioned to Sirius, "would you mind introducing yourself to me?"

With both hands in his pockets, Sirius leaned back slightly, acting casual, "Siris Black."

Mr. Campbell's face twitched slightly when he heard his surname. "Black" to him meant a large group of difficult and persistent Death Eaters.He looked at James in disbelief, but James obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with Sirius' introduction.

Anaska already vaguely knew what Voldemort and Death Eaters were, and she was proud of Severus Snape's obsession with black magic for nearly a year.As for the "Order of the Phoenix" that she overheard before, she guessed that it was a secret organization formed by Dumbledore to fight against the dark wizard.Anaska felt that the Order of the Phoenix might not be a secret she could know, so she didn't say a word to anyone else, even Lily.

However, she knew that Mr. Campbell should not have the wrong impression at this time, and quickly added: "He and we belong to the same academy, Dad."

Mr. Campbell vaguely heard that there was a Blake who entered Gryffindor, and when he realized that it was the one in front of him, his face softened a lot.Anaska also breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that her father liked people who dared to break through.

Sirius' eyes fell on Anaska unconsciously, and James smiled slyly, and poked Sirius again with his elbow.This time he was stabbed back.

The two bumped into each other and bumped into each other, and the more they bumped, the happier they were, and the inattention to their movements became bigger.

Anaska was bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened during the few minutes she was looking back.

"Anaska, how about taking your classmates to see your rabbit?" Mr. Campbell suggested, and then turned to the other two. "Since we have found them so quickly, of course you are welcome to visit. I don't Mind if you use my house for an adventure race."

James heard that the rabbit was lacking in interest, but when it came to adventure, James said, "Then I must win."

James came here almost every year, and he didn't recognize the stranger, looking for new things everywhere. Last year, he dug out half of the secret passages that Mr. Campbell dug on a whim. He might be more familiar with this house than Anaska.Mr. Campbell liked that about him, and was always very indulgent.

Mr. Campbell tilted his head and smiled, "That's not necessarily the case. I remodeled the house again this year. I did it myself, and the project involved a lot of work. I haven't used so much magic at one time in almost my whole life."

James was excited.

Anaska was a little skeptical, her home looked the same as before, and it was hard to imagine that Mr. Campbell had made the big changes he said.Sirius casually looked around at the decoration of Campbell's house.

"Since it's more than a week before you start school, why don't we decide like this," Mr. Campbell seemed to be seriously thinking about an adventurous plan, "If within a week, you can directly find the way from here to James' house without using Floo powder If so, even if you win, I will teach you a spell that is very useful for 'enemies'."

Mr. Campbell bit down on the word "enemy".

This spell sounds like a mischievous spell...

Anaska thought, looking at her father's strangely smiling face.

"If you don't find it... Well, then I won, and you have to help me clean the house." Mr. Campbell happily said the punishment.

"No problem!" James agreed straight away, "The passage leading to my house will be found soon."

Mr. Campbell quickly added: "Don't ask your family members, you have to find it by yourself. Also, don't look for my bedroom, you must go home at nine o'clock at the latest at night."

"Don't worry, I know." James rolled up his sleeves confidently.

Mr. Campbell was satisfied. "Let's get started, remember to cooperate. Come on, boys."

James turned around and hooked Sirius' shoulders, "Sirius, what do you think of starting with this living room?"

"No problem." Sirius wrapped his arms around James' shoulders.

Without organizing or showing any particular expression, Mr. Campbell quietly picked up the paper again, observing them only out of the corner of his eye.

The living room is the place where James found the secret passage last year. Although it is very unlikely that the place is connected to the Potter's house, Anaska can understand James' curiosity.She followed behind the two shoulder to shoulder.

The living room was very clean as usual, with a beautiful red carpet with a big lion embroidered on it. Mrs. Campbell paid great attention to the comfort of family life, and would clean up the whole family every day.The sofa is occupied by Mr. Campbell, and there is a cabinet in the corner with a small Y-shaped sculpture on it.The cabinet was placed in a strange position, which seemed out of place with the whole decoration, which was why James had noticed it before.

James went to tap the sculpture with his wand and turned it around again, but it didn't turn as easily as he'd expected.

Mr. Campbell poked his head out from behind the newspaper, "I removed that agency last year, and the secret passage was also sealed."

James didn't give up, and looked around the cabinet.Sirius stared at the very Gryffindor-style rug. The lion on it had a big mouth and a bright red tongue, very fierce.

Mr. Campbell noticed that he was interested in the carpet, and said proudly: "That carpet is very good, it used to have a matching hanging curtain, but my wife pulled it off and replaced it with a green one."

Speaking of the latter, Mr. Campbell showed a little regret.

Anaska also knew about this. It was Mr. Campbell who told her as an anecdote when she was a child. When Mrs. Campbell first married, she had some hope of transforming her Gryffindor husband, so she worked hard to change the environment at home.Mrs. Campbell originally wanted to replace this carpet, but Mr. Campbell insisted desperately that the house should not be all green, and because it feels good on the feet, he reluctantly stayed.

"It's beautiful." Sirius praised.

"Thank you." Mr. Campbell smiled sincerely this time. This was his favorite rug.

Sirius lowered his head again, his dark gray eyes met the lion on the carpet.

Anaska saw this scene just when she turned her head, and felt that their eyes were inexplicably similar, and they were full of a terrifying power.

Although she has no interest in the spell that Mr. Campbell said, Anaska also searched her home hard. She did not find any signs of modification in the place where she lived for 14 years, but her father dared to say it would not It was a lie, Anaska was momentarily confused.

She has always felt that her home is a warm, safe place that can protect her and the animals for a lifetime, even though her parents occasionally make noise inside.But Mr. Campbell would expend energy to repair some secret passages inside, and Mrs. Campbell didn't stop it, it must be because the place has become less unbreakable.

Mr. Campbell said that it took so much effort, so there must be not only one road leading to Mr. Potter's house, but also other roads, which are used for escape in various emergency situations.

Anaska thought of all kinds of possibilities in her heart, and she didn't stop working.The three Gryffindors have been rummaging through the night, but nothing has been found.The Campbells were like an ordinary house, ordinary without any secrets.
