Life for Anaska and Sirius went smoothly for a while, although they were still in hiding, but the Ministry of Magic sent fewer and fewer dementors.Under their persistent and frequent visits, Harry finally became more and more like a well-nourished child.

It was a time of extraordinary tranquility, and Anaska felt that she was always surrounded by strange happiness, temporarily forgetting many past pains and worries.

On the coming Christmas of the new year, Anaska did not visit her parents on the other side of the ocean, but chose to spend it with Lupine and Sirius.

The three of them, plus Nina, spent a lot of time cooking a pretty sumptuous dinner.

Lupine used his wand to snow a small area in the yard, and soon there was a field of crystal clear white snow outside the window.

That night, the three of them drank five bottles of mead. Anaska is usually a non-drinker, but she drank several cups in the joyous atmosphere, looking at the bright moonlight and the snow-capped color, feel dizzy.

She staggered open the door and walked out, wanting the cold wind mixed with the smell of snow to blow away her drunkenness.

Sirius followed closely behind her, wrapping her tightly in his coat.

Sirius Black smelled of alcohol, and Anaska became more and more confused by the warm drunkenness, and her vision became blurred in a trance.

"Where's Remus?" Anaska asked, her eyes narrowed as she drifted off to sleep.

"Drunk and unconscious." Sirius put his arms around her, resting his chin on her hair, "After graduation, I always wanted to spend Christmas with you and have a good time."

Sirius' voice was a little lower than usual and husky, letting Anaska know that he was probably not quite sober.

But she herself was not sober.

"There is probably a dance in the castle today..." Anaska said in a daze, "Professor Slughorn's club used to hold it every year at this time."

However, Slughorn has retired, and Severus Snape, who took over the Potions class, will definitely not like this kind of romantic Christmas event. Anaska is not quite sure that the tradition of the Christmas ball will be rejected continue.

But it was the thing girls looked forward to most of the year after all, and Dumbledore might find a way to keep it.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Anaska subconsciously snuggled into the arms of the person next to her.

"Yes, when you attended the dance for the first time in the fourth grade, you actually invited James." Sirius seemed to wake up a lot suddenly, and his tone was rather unkind, and he lowered his head to stare at Anaska, "That was my first prom." Once I saw James not pleasing to the eye, I almost wanted to punch him, and it took me a long time to hold back."

Sirius' childish words made the corners of Anaska's lips curl up involuntarily, and the scene at that time came to her mind vaguely, as clearly as if it was yesterday.At that time, Lily still hated James, and the once solid friendship with Snape was cracked.It was a terribly bad evening for those three men who had nearly ruined Slughorn's party with a violent conflict.

But immediately, there was a touch of sadness in my heart that was hard to ignore.

In just a few years, Lily and James left her life forever, and Snape, who was at odds with the foursome back then, was as far away as someone living in another world.

"And after that, I still remember how beautiful you were in the fifth and sixth grades, and then you walked down the stairs in the lounge and came to me..." Sirius' words followed his The consciousness became unclear, "I feel like I'm going crazy on Christmas in the seventh grade. If there is a boy who dares to hold your hand to the dance party that day, I might really beat him up. Fortunately... "

Anaska still had some memories of her seventh grade. Her last year at Hogwarts seemed to have been taken out of thin air, and it was too short to be ridiculous.She was crazily immersed in books, using heavy schoolwork to numb her nerves aching from broken love.In that way, of course, she would not remember Christmas or the ball, and naturally she would not have a dance partner.

Sirius's weight was weighing more and more on Anaska, and he was probably really drunk.Anaska felt that he would not remember what he had said when he woke up the next morning.In fact, she wasn't even sure she'd remember tonight, she was disoriented by the sweetness and smell of the mead Sirius was carrying.

The night sky was as clean as if it had been washed by a clear spring, and the stars twinkled and twinkled.

Anaska raised her head, hooked Sirius' neck, and put her lips together.Recently, she is always suddenly filled with an inexplicable courage, giving her the courage to take the initiative.The few cups of fragrant mead at dinner made her confidence swell like never before.

"... From now on, we can always spend Christmas together..." Anaska mumbled something she would never have dared to say when she was sober.

The warm coat and the smell of the person she loved lulled Anaska into drowsiness. She closed her heavy eyelids and really fell asleep.

Sirius supported Anaska, who was standing unsteadily, and stood outside the house for a while, the white snow fell under their feet, and the ice crystals were slowly melted into a drop of transparent water by the body temperature.

He picked her up and carried her back into the house. The red flames jumping in the stove kept the house warm.

A few days later, the clock struck midnight for 1983.

It has been more than a year since the Potters died, Harry is two and a half years old, Anaska is celebrating her 23rd birthday, the dementors are still wandering in search of Sirius, and Millicent Barnold is still refusing to talk to West. Reece Black bombing case to be reopened.

Because there is no change, it is very peaceful.

When the flowers bloomed in April, Anaska moved back from Hogward Village to the home she had lived in since she was a child, and continued to treat the pet hospital only as a place of work.But the difference is that this time she is no longer living alone.

Mrs. Campbell kept the address of the house in her soul, which was the perfect place to hide Sirius, but it hadn't been justifiable until now.After the relationship was completely smooth, Sirius Black moved out of Lupine's humble residence and became a real tenant in Anaska's house.

The move took a lot of work, the most important thing was Anaska's pets.Fortunately, this time she didn't have to do it alone. The physical strength of Sirius and Lupine helped a lot and saved a lot of work.

At the end of July, Harry's third birthday was approaching.

This would be Anaska's last chance to speak to Harry face to face.The memory of a three-year-old child is likely to grow up with him, which undoubtedly attracted Dumbledore's attention.

In addition, there was one thing that made Anaska have to reconsider her attitude towards Harry Potter.

Harry's language has been able to express more completely and accurately. Once, he tentatively asked Anaska if she was his biological mother.This frightened Anaska quite a bit. She liked and loved Harry, and was willing to give her all to take care of him, but she never wanted to take Lily's place.

Harry vaguely "knew" his godfather, but he was not very clear about Anaska's position.Anaska herself couldn't describe her relationship with Harry with an exact ranking.

Her meddling in Harry's upbringing had probably gone beyond what Albus Dumbledore wanted her to do.

Due to two reasons, Dumbledore officially informed Anaska that she could no longer visit Harry, at least not face to face.

In fact, no matter Anaska, Sirius or Lupine, they didn't know what Dumbledore was going to do to Harry Potter. Even if he asked, he was unwilling to answer.However, out of trust in the wisdom of the former headmaster, the world's greatest wizard, and as members of the Order of the Phoenix, they decided to obey Dumbledore's arrangement - after their third birthday.

This time, Lupine went with the two of them, but he was only willing to watch from a distance, as if he was afraid that he would change suddenly and hurt the child.

Anaska personally made a big cake, the kind that Muggles eat beautifully but with no special effects.They prepare the next few humble gifts that will survive.Petunia vacated the cupboard as Harry's room, and although it was cramped and uncomfortable, full of dust and spiders, Harry finally had a place where he could barely hide his things, even if it was occasionally messed up by Dudley's intrusion. turn.

After being cheated several times, the Dursleys became more and more savvy and less and less easy to be fooled.Fortunately, Sirius was always good at this, and he always had endless tricks to trick Petunia and Vernon Dursley out of the house.

This last time, he still succeeded.

The gift the Dursleys gave Harry was a glass with a smashed handle and a long centipede-like crack at the bottom that could barely hold water.

Sirius held his glass and looked at it for a long time, and was so angry that he almost went to teach Petunia's family a lesson, but was finally stopped by Anaska and Lupine.Sirius repaired the cup with his wand and returned it to Harry.

Harry was so obviously overjoyed to have a real birthday that Anaska couldn't bring himself to tell him they'd never make it up.In fact, she didn't say that until the end.

The child was always sleepy, Anaska coaxed the child a little, and the tired child fell asleep.

Sirius simply cleaned up the garbage and other things left over from eating, so that Petunia and the others could not see the clues.When he turned his head, he saw Anaska hugging the sleeping child.

The warm halo at dusk reflected Anaska's cheeks, making her fair skin blush, and there was an indescribable gentle brilliance in her blue eyes.

For some reason, this scene gave Sirius an unprecedented strange feeling, as if a sparrow feather brushed against the tip of his heart——

He wants a home now.
