Soon came the Christmas holidays, and Slughorn has not shown any signs.

And on the Hogwarts Express, Lily fulfilled her promise and sat in the box of Monigus and Severus.

Of course, the noisy voice of Mr. Potter following Lily is still indispensable, although in the end Potter was dealt with by Lily's angry fist.

Monigus believed that when he saw Mr. Potter looking at him sadly with blood flowing from his nose, he was really pleased, and he also laughed unkindly.

This of course led to Mr. Potter's grief and indignation, and he was dragged away by Sirius Black and Remus Lupine, and their box was completely cleaned up.

It's just that Mr. Black is what interests Monigus the most. This little guy is a bit interesting...

When the Hogwarts Express arrived at platform nine and three-quarters, Irene was already waiting with Althea.

"Oh, my little princess, you are beautiful again!" Monigus said, hugging the four-year-old Orthea, who was wearing a beautiful princess dress, and kissed her pink cheek.

It made Orthea giggle.

However, none of these could hide the worry in Monigus' eyes, but this is not the place to talk, he just smiled and kissed Irene's cheek, "Mom, I miss you too. "

Severus looked at Irene who had made up her mind not to let him kiss her, and he had no choice but to kiss her, but her ears turned red quietly.

At this time, Lily and Petunia also came over. They probably didn't see Catherine's relationship, so they came to ask Irene.

"Girls, it's nice to see you." Irene spread her hands and hugged the two girls one by one.

Penny and Lily also expressed their happiness to see Irene. Penny asked, "Aunt Irene, where is our mother? Why didn't she come to pick us up?"

This is indeed a bit unusual. Catherine would come to pick them up every time in the past, rain or shine.

Of course Monigus knew the reason.

"I'm sorry, girls. Your mother is not feeling well, so she asked me to pick you up and go home together." Seeing the anxiety on Petunia's face, Erin continued: "Of course, I promise, it's just a little uncomfortable."

Having been in the wizarding world for so many years, Petunia and Lily certainly knew Irene's identity. She would at least prove that their mother was in good health.

Hiding the worries in their hearts, the group quickly left the platform.

"Oh, Mom, is this yours?" He came to a white Beetle that looked very conspicuous.

Irene raised her chin slightly, nodded her head reservedly, and then motioned for several people to get into the car.

Monigus held Orthea in his arms and watched Irene, who was wearing black lace gloves, put her hands on the steering wheel, then made a turn, and drove home with a few children.

Monigus looked at Irene's back, and had to say that Irene had changed more and more over the years, and she was more and more able to integrate into Muggle life. Her wealthy family background and aristocratic education made her exude a grace.

However, probably because of her close contact with Catherine, she now looks not only like a noble lady but also a capable professional woman.

This makes Irene full of vitality and looks younger and more charming and charming.

"Mom, I'm sure there must be a lot of people who are obsessed with you now." Monigus teased a little bit uncontrollably.

Irene cast a sideways glance at Monigus from the rearview mirror, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you know that your father throws himself into my arms and cries every day because of this?"

Monigus looked at Irene's expression in a daze for a moment, which made him seem to see himself raising his eyebrows.

Severus was teasing Orthea, and he couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and then buried his black head in Orthea's neck, his shoulders were shaking non-stop.

Orthea, probably tickled by Severus' hair, also giggled.

In the end, all the people in the car couldn't help laughing.

Monigus felt very happy to see Irene. During this period of time, he was a little depressed because of Horace Slughorn. At this moment, the unhappiness in his heart seemed to dissipate with laughter.

When they arrived in Little Whinging District, after saying goodbye to Petunia and Lily, the family of four returned to their own home.

Then Monigus and Severus saw Tobias who was busy in the kitchen with his apron on.

"Oh, your father insists on preparing dinner to celebrate your return home." Irene shrugged helplessly, but her expression told the two brothers that she was actually very happy about it.

After changing the heavy coat, Irene didn't care about the high-end skirt she was wearing. She also pulled out an apron and went into the kitchen to help her clumsy husband prepare dinner.

Monigus hugged Orthea, watching this warm scene, the long-lost warmth filled his heart again.

At this time, Orthea seemed dissatisfied with Monigus's daze, and grabbed his hair with a small hand, pulling it lightly and heavily.

"Oh..." Monigus frowned slightly, let out a soft cry in pain, and looked at Orthea suspiciously.

I saw Orthea frowning, pulling his hair with one hand, while pulling her collar with the other.

"Sorry, Al." Monigus reacted, kissed Orthea's cheek, and began to disarm the little princess, obviously she was hot.

Severus had already taken off his coat, and he was only wearing a shirt and a waistcoat. At this time, he came over and began to help Monigus change the little princess.

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to take off the layers of coats Orthea was wearing, leaving only a red and green Scottish-style skirt in the end.

"Oh, Merlin, this color is really eye-catching." Monigus muttered in a low voice.

After all, red is the main color, and green is the embellishment, which made him a little unaccustomed to the silver-green tone at Hogwarts.

"Sev, pie." Orthea, attracted by the food, had already dragged Severus to the coffee table, where there was a small pre-dinner dessert that Irene prepared for them - apple pie.

Obviously, it was made by Erin herself.

Looking at the baked crispy yellow apple pie, Monigus knew that Irene had definitely put in a lot of effort. With her cooking skills that could only be described as clumsy if she didn't rely on housework magic, she obviously couldn't control it. kind of dishes.

But look at the Irene who is now wearing an apron in the kitchen, cooking soup with the seriousness of making potions, and taking pleasure in turning the kitchen full of Tobias' instructions, she has really changed a lot.

"Hey, Al, eat less, there will be delicious food later, don't blame mom for not telling you if you can't eat." Irene suddenly came out of the kitchen and said to Al who was eating an apple pie.

Monigus followed Irene's gaze and looked at Orthea, feeling powerless for a while, this eating was a bit too...not aristocratic.

Moreover, after careful observation, Monigus had some guesses in his mind.

At this moment, a big event happened at the Evans house next door.

Monigus and the others came back from Hogwarts on vacation, and Irene sent Petunia and Lily to the door of the house and went back.

And Petunia and Lily learned from Irene that their mother was not feeling well, so they were a little worried.

When they got home, they saw an unfamiliar man-Christopher Edith at their house.

What made them even more unacceptable was that their mother, Catherine, was hugged by this man with her belly slightly protruding.

The relationship between the two is self-evident, and even their mother has conceived an heir for this man.

Petunia was stunned for a moment before recovering, her eye circles were slightly red, and then the smile on the corner of her lips became wider and wider.

Throwing down the suitcase in her hand, Petunia ran to Catherine's side with rare excitement, and pressed a kiss on her cheek, "Congratulations to your mother, but you should have told us earlier, you really scared me."

Catherine was also very happy to see Penny's sincerely happy expression. She hugged Penny tightly, "Oh, baby, I believe I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I'm a little worried. But to get your blessing, it's really There's nothing better than this."

As she spoke, she found that her little daughter hadn't made a sound since entering the door, so she looked at Lily.

Lily was still staring in their direction blankly, but there was no expression in her eyes.

"Lily?" Catherine called out worriedly.

And Christopher, who was holding Catherine, had been observing the two sisters since they entered the door. Seeing the relieved expression on Penny's face, he knew that Penny was really thinking about her mother, and she hoped that her mother could find a new one. Happiness.

But when he looked at Lily, his heart sank.

Christopher knew that Lily could not accept his relationship with her mother, and the betrayed expression on her face gave him a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Catherine's voice seemed to have brought back Lily's sanity. She trembled all over, and tears rolled down her cheeks quickly.

"How could you do this?" Lily seemed to be about to collapse. She was trembling all over, her face was full of despair, and her voice became hoarse.

"Can't you live without a man? Dad has only been away for a few years? You can't bear to be lonely and find a wild man? Even pregnant with a wild seed? Do you want me to admit it?" Lily yelled.

Catherine looked at her daughter in disbelief. She never expected to hear such words from her daughter.

Except that she didn't directly call her a cheap bitch, but every word that came out of Lily's mouth hit her heart hard.

"Lily..." Catherine's lips trembled, tears streaming down her face.
