[hp] Black Dog Breeding Manual

Playing the Patronus again was not as easy as I thought.

Anaska tried to summon the guardian again, and occasionally there were white things coming out of the tip of the wand, but most of them disappeared in a flash, or the shape could not be seen clearly.

James tried to see clearly every time, but the more he looked, the tighter his brows became.

In fact, Anaska was quite puzzled by this Patronus. She originally thought that her Patronus would be a softer creature, such as an owl, a rabbit or a unicorn, especially since her wand still uses unicorn hair as the core in the case of.

In the end, it turned out to be such a powerful animal...although it was vague, but that...was either a wolf or a large dog, right?

Could it be because...she had always imagined Sirius as a dog before?

You may not be able to figure it out if you don't look carefully again, but the darkening sky proves that it is really not suitable for continuing practice.The Potters took their leave of the fireplace and went home.Anaska continued to think about it alone, she didn't quite have a clue.

After another week, after gradually practicing and mastering the skills, Anaska was basically able to skillfully release the Patronus.

It was indeed a very tall dog, very fierce in appearance, with a strong physique and luxuriant hair.When the Patronus could last long enough, Anaska carefully observed every part of it in the yard by herself.She especially liked those eyes, beautiful and clear.

Anaska didn't quite know whether its eyes were so clear because it was a Patronus.But she was sure that she was familiar with that look, confident, determined, and unruly, exactly the same as Sirius' eyes.

Anaska found herself secretly delighted in this.

After being able to recognize the Patronus, perhaps the Potters also felt that this large dog looked like a human being. James' expression became more and more weird, and Lily's hesitation to speak became more and more frequent. .

Once or twice afterward, James even tried to slip Sirius' new address into a crack in Anaska's room.

It was still a certain Sunday, and the Potters had afternoon tea with Anaska.

James mumbled, "I hope you don't mind me bringing that up, Anaska, to be honest, I don't know what's going on in Padfoot's head, but I'm pretty sure he still likes you. It's a pity that you don't meet again like this. Why don't I ask him out, how about you talk again?"

After a little deliberation, Anaska rejected James' suggestion to have them sit down and have a talk.

She hasn't decided whether to redeem the past, or to let go of the past and pursue a new life.After she had considered it, she took the initiative to tell the Potters about her decision.

The Potters devoted themselves to bringing together two long-lost friends, but they soon lost time for Anaska and Sirius.

Not long after the New Year this year, both the elderly old Porter and his wife died of illness.A few days after the funeral, Lily's parents also died in a major traffic accident.

Anaska attended the funeral one after another, and her mind was extremely exhausted, not to mention James and Lily, who were the children of these elders.

But Lily had to pull herself together when she found out she was pregnant.

This is undoubtedly a big deal.

The death of the older generation gave everyone a reason to look forward to a new life.Anaska could hardly contain her excitement at the news, and eagerly began to look forward to the birth of this boy or girl.To her, there didn't seem to be much difference between Lily's children and hers.

Of course, the ones who are happier than her are undoubtedly James and Lily, who are new parents.

Anaska just watched the two of them change rapidly.James completed the transformation from an enthusiastic silly boy to an enthusiastic silly father in a few days, while Lily's body was shining with stronger and stronger motherhood. Just looking at her, you can feel a kind of spiritual purification. calm.

From the couple's hoarding of baby products and children's toys, Anaska can almost imagine the future of the family of three and the pampering the child will receive.

It wasn't just the couple and Anaska who wanted to celebrate, except for another Sirius who was rejoicing in a corner that Anaska couldn't see, the goodness of the Potters had won them many friends, almost equivalent to The entire Order of the Phoenix.Everyone intends to find a chance to have a good laugh.

After all, this might be one of the rare happy events around them since the black wizards became rampant in recent years.

Finally, on the last day of July 1980, amidst the expectations and blessings of everyone, a boy with black hair like James was born, and his jerky cry made all the waiting people feel sincere joy.

After he learns to open his eyes, it will be discovered that he has the same rare green eyes as Lily.

The Potters named the baby Harry.

In the UK, this is a name that is so common that it can be said to be a bad name.Lily liked it very much. She kissed the newborn's forehead and said with a gentle smile:

"I hope he can have ordinary happiness in the future. There is nothing better than ordinary."

The Potters chose their mutual best friend, Sirius Black, as their child's godfather.

Anaska had also been considering the episode, but judging from Harry's reaction to the two, he preferred Sirius.

The baby who was only a few months old was incredibly soft. When Anaska hugged Harry with Lily's permission for the first time, she was very afraid that she would hurt him if she tried too hard.

She has hugged a baby rabbit, a baby cat, and a little owl that has just hatched, but this is the first time she has hugged a baby of her own kind, and it feels so different.The baby has a faint milky smell, but it is not annoying.

Wonderful.

Anaska let Harry bubble in her arms drowsily, looked up and asked Lily, "Would you mind getting a kitten? The one that was just weaned."

"No, what's the matter? Are you going to give us one?"

Anaska nodded. She raised the little milk cat Andy back then, and happened to become a father this year. It had a litter of kittens with another female cat.

Lily readily accepted: "Great, James and I are thinking about getting something to commemorate Harry's birth. We can let Harry grow up with the kittens and take pictures of them every year."

Anaska chose one of the kittens for Lily, and Lily quickly sent her many photos as promised, some with cats, some without.Still, all the pictures are of Harry.

Children grow up when they see the wind, and Harry can say that they look different every day.

The peaceful time lasted for a long time, until a visit from Dumbledore disrupted the lives of James, Lily and Harry.

Anaska knew there was a conversation, but didn't know what Dumbledore had said.

On the second day after Dumbledore left, the fireplace of Campbell's house welcomed the dignified Potter and his wife.From their gloomy faces, Anaska judged that it must be an extremely important matter, so she decisively closed the pet hospital for another day.

It was James who explained the reason first, and he said, "Anaska, Lily and I have to live in seclusion for a while."

"What happened?" Anaska asked nervously.

James was not one to frown, but the crease between his brows could kill two or three flies at this moment.

"Dumbledore told us..." James paused, as if hesitating about what he was about to say.

Lily held his hand tightly and encouraged him softly: "It's okay, Anaska can be trusted."

"Well, here's the thing," James straightened his glasses that were about to crooked, "Voldemort knew a prophecy that the person who could defeat him was born at the end of July, and some other information...you understand Well, Voldemort wouldn't give anyone who might threaten him a chance of survival. Besides, he seemed to think it was Harry."

"Harry?!" Anaska almost jumped up from the sofa in shock.

Could it be that he even wants to kill a child who is not yet one year old? !

Lily nodded with difficulty, obviously she was very unwilling to believe this, no mother could remain indifferent after discovering that her child was in danger.

Lily said: "So... James and I are going to hide. You'd better not come to us for a while, we don't want to get you into trouble."

"Where are you going to hide?" Anaska asked worriedly, she couldn't think of a place where Voldemort could not find it.

"Dumbledore suggested that we use the Fidelity Charm on the house, like you. As long as the Secret Keeper keeps a secret, it will be safe." Lily explained, "Dumbledore intends to be our Secret Keeper... However, James feels trust Sirius would be more appropriate. Sorry, Anaska, it's not that we mistrust you..."

"I understand." Anaska nodded.

She is indeed not the right person, compared to others, her ability to resist black magic is too weak.Once the secret keeper is found, Voldemort will use all the cruel methods he can think of to force the secret keeper to tell the whereabouts of the Potters.

It could be something else, like Veritaserum.

In short, if it cannot be guaranteed that Voldemort will never find it, then the strong must be competent.

James touched his messy black hair, and then Lily continued: "It may not be Padfoot, he seems to think that this is not safe enough, it is better to set another trap for Voldemort... Dumbledore said that the Order of the Phoenix Someone is reporting Lily and me to Voldemort, probably someone close to me, we can't guess who it is, so we are still hesitating..."

"In short, don't go out! If possible, I don't think you'll go to the pet store any more recently. The number of Death Eaters is already uncontrollable." Lily urged again, "Don't worry about us, James and I lived from Voldemort. I’ve come down several times, and it’s the same this time.”
