HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 316 Surprise and Concern

When Gloria and Harry return to the house, George's ears have grown back.

He lay on the sofa, still weak, but in much better spirits. "Thank you, Leah. I thought I would never be able to play the guessing game with Fred again."

"You're welcome." Gloria spread her hands and said, "Fortunately, it was the ear that was injured, not the neck below the ear."

If he accidentally cut an artery, George would not be able to survive.

Everyone in the living room was silent while the adults were busy in the kitchen.

"Leah, what happened to you?" Ginny asked curiously: "We asked Mad-Eye, and he just said it was thrilling."

"It was indeed thrilling," she said. "Riddle... for the sake of convenience I just called him Riddle. He chased us at the first moment, which was expected. Mad-Eye was very powerful and blocked many spells. It's a pity that you didn't see me riding a broom. They completely believed that I was Harry."

The depressing atmosphere was swept away.

"Really?" Sirius got a glass of wine from the kitchen. He didn't want to lie down all the time. "Is there a chance I can see you riding a broom? Maybe you inherited the talent of Rail. He used to be the number one Quidditch player and served as the seeker."

"Same as us." Harry smiled and said, "If you played Quidditch, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so confident that I could catch the Golden Snitch every time."

Sirius simply leaned against the table and watched them chat.

Lupin came out with the food. "At that time, whenever there was a match with Slytherin, James would extend his training time. Regulus was a strong opponent."

Tonks followed behind, hugging Lupin's waist and resting her head on his back.

"Before I learned how to Apparate in the manor, I would go out and play on a broom." Gloria said, "Sometimes I would race with dragons. It was quite fun. You can try it if you have a chance."

Ron laughed dryly, "I'll let it go..."

"Harry barely won." Hermione covered her mouth and laughed. Everyone knew she was talking about the competition.

"Gloria, should I always protect her?" Golinia's voice suddenly sounded.

Gloria and Harry both looked over.

"Oh - wait a minute." She walked up to Tonks and a small golden-scaled snake emerged from her pocket.

Tonks was startled, "When did you get here?"

"I put it there before I left." Gloria said, "It seems your side is not as bad as Sirius'."

"Much better than him." Tonks looked at Ron and said, "Because Ron is very powerful, he knocked out a Death Eater directly, which made me feel a lot more relaxed."

Golinia spat out her snake tongue and said, "She's pregnant."

Gloria and Harry both looked at Tonks' belly with surprised expressions.

"What's wrong?" Lupin asked anxiously, thinking something was wrong with his wife.

"Uh--" Harry didn't know how to start, and pointed at Tonks's belly, "She... Tonks has..."

He made a gesture of stroking his belly.

Everyone understood immediately.

"Merlin!" Fleur screamed, covering her mouth. "Is this real? You're going to be a mom and a dad! This is such a surprise!"

Everyone was happy to receive such good news shortly after experiencing a life-and-death chase.

Tonks smiled shyly, "Yes, I am pregnant. I was planning on telling you guys."

Anyway, the plan was about to start and she couldn't be replaced at the last minute. It was just that the situation was chaotic and time was urgent, so I didn't say it.

"This is too dangerous. Fortunately, you are okay." Lupin hugged her in fear.

Sirius was happy for them, but couldn't help saying, "So soon..."

Gloria patted his arm, and the 'talkative' Sirius quickly drank his wine.

"The plan went off without a hitch, everyone is safe, and Tonks has a baby." Molly smiled brightly, "This is the best time of all."

Gloria was going to go back after completing her plan, but since Tonks had the good news, of course she had to stay and celebrate together.

They continued to chat in the living room while the rest of the group prepared food.

Bill and Fleur would huddle together and whisper from time to time, and Ginny no longer showed her disgusted expression as before.

"Are you willing to accept Furong?" Gloria asked.

"She's actually not bad." Ginny sighed and said, "She was sadder than anyone else when Bill was injured, and she was willing to participate in such a dangerous operation... Mom has accepted her, and I think she's pretty good too."

Harry reached out and grasped Ginny's wrist.

"Seeing how deeply he loves her, they want to break up at the end of the sixth grade. What a stupid behavior." Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry.

Harry remained silent and did not dare to reply, while Ginny leaned on his shoulder.

"How's school going?" Ron asked. "We haven't received the school's book list yet."

"The payment has been delayed this year." Gloria showed a hint of displeasure. "The Ministry of Magic thinks that Hogwarts is too eye-catching and will be easily targeted by Death Eaters. Students will be in danger, so they are still discussing it. Professor McGonagall has been applying frequently recently."

Fred nudged Ron with his shoulder and said, "It's okay. If you can't go to school, you're welcome to help in our store."

George nodded weakly, "Yes, the store in Diagon Alley has been very busy. The Hogsmeade branch has been a little slow due to the school holidays and the absence of Basiliusk's guards."

"We will definitely be able to go to school." Ron muttered, "And we are adults now, we can join the Order of the Phoenix and act together."

"Yes." Hermione: "Whether we can go to school or not, we will join the Order of the Phoenix."

"The Order of the Phoenix needs young people to join, but you are too young." Sirius said lazily: "Besides, we are here."

Molly had finished her work and came out of the kitchen and said, "Okay, don't discuss this with the kids. It's time to eat."

"Mom, we're not children anymore. We're already seventeen years old." Ron protested, "Harry will be an adult in a few days."

Molly ignored him.

Everyone found a seat and sat down. Gloria sat next to Tonks and glanced at her belly from time to time.

"Leah, I specifically mentioned to Remus that you be the child's godmother."

"Okay!" Gloria said happily, "I'm looking forward to the day when your baby is born."

"I was so happy the day James asked me to be Harry's godfather." Sirius patted Gloria's shoulder. "More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye."

Gloria asked: "What gift did you prepare for Harry at that time? Let me give you some reference."

Harry was curious too, Sirius hadn't mentioned this yet.

"A children's broom. I thought little Harry would inherit James's talent." Sirius reached out and ruffled Harry's already messy hair.

For a moment, the table was filled with laughter.

Only Lupin, when he looked at Tonks's belly, was happy but also a little worried.

He has never forgotten his identity - a werewolf.

Gloria returned to the manor after dinner, and Draco was waiting for her in the hall.

Seeing the handsome young man under the bright lights, she pounced on him.

And Draco held her tightly.
