Vol 2 Chapter 825: apprentice

Early the next morning, the sky was not yet fully lit, and the dim sky shrouded everything in its shadow.
In Godric Valley, some houses are standing on both sides of narrow alleys. Some of the Christmas decorations of lazy houses in the windows have not been removed. They are shining. Not far from the front, the unextinguished golden street lights show that it is the center of the village. In the center of the village, there are several shops, a post office, a bar, and a small church. According to "The History of Magic", the cemetery outside the church is engraved with the family names of ancient wizards, and the small church here is also Ghost stories have continued for many centuries.
Godric Valley is named after Godric Gryffindor was born here, and the medieval Bowman Wright created the first golden snitch here, and this is also at least one member of the Peverier family The last resting place.
Many famous wizard families lived in Godric Valley. The Dumbledore family before Albus Dumbledore’s sister Ariana was killed, and Bathilda Bagshot, the author of "History of Magic" and the aunt of Gertler Grindelwald, lived in this village.
Among all the wizards who have lived here, Harry Potter is probably the most famous one, because when he was a baby, he survived Voldemort’s killing curse and made the Dark Lord the first time Lose strength. From then on, Harry Potter was called "the boy who survived catastrophe", and the village became famous again.
Outside a three-story house where the garden was a bit desolate because of the seasons, the ground was hardened by a layer of black frost, Alan and Hermione walked along a gravel path lined with gooseberry bushes to a door.
Allen knocked on the knocker on the oak door, and soon there was a sound of footsteps, the door creaked open, and a plump young woman looked at them.
"Hello, Mrs. Olivo Avery..."
"Miss Hermione Granger, Mr. Alan Harris, please come in quickly. Pluto will be very happy to know you are here."
Olivo Avery, who was recognized before Allen’s introduction, greeted her into the room. She barely used her manners to cover up her sorrow. The look in Hermione’s eyes was very complicated and a touch of relief. , This is the Muggle-born little witch her husband Pluto Mursiber wants to save regardless of his life.
Olivo's bitter mouth turned upwards, and as soon as a tear fell from her cheeks, she turned her head and whispered, "If you see Miss Granger, you should be very happy now..."
A handy robot took Hermione’s coat and hung it on the hanger hook. Olivo, who turned his back with red eyes, let them into the room. The decorations and furnishings in the room showed that they had been. It was not bad, and it was very cold. Although coal and wood were burning in the fireplace, it was not vigorous. A cradle with a baby in a pink dress was not far from the fire.
After Mr. Qiaoshou finished hanging up his clothes, he planned to make tea for the guests, but Olivo prevented it from preparing to do it himself and instead let Mr. Qiaoshou take care of the cradle, but Olivo just stood and prepared the teapot. The baby in the cradle started to cry because he was usually taken care of by his mother and was not familiar with the smart robot.
Olivo didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly went over to pick up the child and shook it gently. In the mother's arms, the little guy gradually stopped crying, his little hand tightly pulled the mother's skirt, and occasionally choked.
"Sorry, there are only two of us at home now. I'm sorry." Olivo's eye circles are red, her brown hair is messy and seems to have not been combed, her eyes are red and swollen, and her complexion is haggard.
"Mrs. Avery, I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If Pluto wasn't trying to save me, he wouldn't...leave you." Hermione's mouth couldn't resist the downward trend, her eyes instantly Jingying, "He and Pupai are not even on duty...I couldn't even say a word of thanks to him."
Olivo held the baby in her arms tightly, leaned against the wall, stubbornly making her voice sound more proud of her husband: "It is Bruto’s duty as an Auror to protect others. Miss Langer, I believe he will come forward too. Miss Granger need not feel guilty."
"Mrs. Avery, I think...I would like to invite you to work in the umbrella company." Hermione stepped forward, leaning slightly forward and approaching Olivo. She was afraid that the opponent would refuse to hold Olivo. "Please don’t get Mrs. Avery wrong. Your NEWT took seven Os. This is not compensation. I wonder if I can have the honor to work with you?"
"Thank you Miss Granger, the umbrella company has great prospects and good employee benefits. I have long heard about it. It's just that my family is also operating the planting industry. As the only heir, I must take on my responsibilities." Livor politely rejected Hermione’s compensation method. As the sacred Twenty-Eighth Clan, the Avery family, although the wealthy family was somewhat defeated by some clansmen following the mysterious people, Olivo has not been too much for money since his birth Worries, even if the Ministry of Magic’s material compensation for this matter is not included, the quality of life for her and her child will not decline. She does not intend to go out to work, but instead wants to spend her energy on educating her and Brue. Above the child's care.
"Mrs. Avery, did Pluto leave a portrait of himself?" Allen, who was silent by the side, asked in a low voice-for wizards, apart from the character instilled by the painter who used the portraits of celebrities, private portraits Most of them are kept by the wizards themselves, who transfer their memories and thoughts to the portraits in the private process. Such portraits are usually locked in a cabinet for safekeeping, and will not be taken out until the person dies.
"Yes, he prepared a portrait for himself on the first day he became an Auror." Olivo patted the baby lightly, and led Allen and the others into his bedroom.
On the wall opposite to the bed in the bedroom, there is a portrait of Bruto in H94 uniform. In the portrait, Bruto immediately got up from the chair when he saw them, trying to squeeze one out of his naturally a little hideous face. Smiling, "Miss Granger, Master Harris, thank you for coming to see Olivo."
"Pluto, I'm sorry." Hermione looked at Pluto in the painting. The guilt in her eyes seemed to be burning her like a flame. Hermione turned her face and saw a man's clothing on the bed. The clothes are stuffed with bulging, as if lying there alone.
Hearing the look in Hermione’s eyes, Olivo said uncomfortably,
I can’t sleep at night, it’s as if Pluto is still by my side.

Hermione had always been eloquent and good at speaking, but at this time she was completely speechless.
However, as Allen took out his soul movement, Olivo's gaze was instantly attracted by Bruto's face flashing on the gem.
"Pluto in there?" She couldn't keep her voice steady, and her brown curly hair fell loosely on her neck.
"Yes, the devil made Pluto a soul gem. For some reasons, Pluto's soul is actually much safer to stay in the world than to go to the kingdom of death. I asked him for his opinion, although he could not become Ghost, but I am also willing to stay with you in the mortal world." Allen spread out his left palm, and the soul gem floated quietly on the palm of his palm. Allen's right hand opened with five fingers and made a grasping motion. Above the soul gem, a trace of soul energy was slowly absorbed from the soul gem that was beginning to break, and as Allen gently pulled this energy from the palm of his hand, it was injected into the portrait on the wall.
Leaving the Soul Gem, Bruto was in the portrait for a moment, and was awakened by Olivo's sad sobbing sound. He turned his palm to the outside of the portrait: "Olivor~EbookFREE.me~ I am back."
The soul gem in Allen’s hand has turned into powder, and although Pluto in the previous portrait can communicate and has the ability to think, it is soulless--but Pluto in the painting now It was truly accompanied by Olivo.
Pluto's movements made Olivo unable to restrain himself anymore, tears burst into his eyes. She stroked Pluto’s cheek in the portrait, weeping sadly, and leaned against the portrait. Pluto’s eyes fell, but her outstretched hands could not embrace his wife. His open fingers gradually closed, and he turned to Alan. And Hermione, "Master, thank you for allowing me to be with Olivo... how is Poppy's situation?"
"Pluto, we will remember everything you did for Hermione, and I will do the same for Poppies. In addition, I will draw a few extras. For example, let Ms. Rosemerta hang them in the Three Broomsticks Tavern. You When you’re free, you can go there to meet..." Allen looked at the little baby in Olivo’s arms. The little baby seemed to feel his father’s return. He opened his toothless mouth and smiled happily, waving his little hands and feet, Allen Promised, "Really cute baby, when she grows up, I will teach her magic."
Olivo finally stopped crying, but because she was overly sad just now, her emotions were not completely calmed down, and she choked when she spoke. When she heard Alan's words, she quickly thanked him.
For Olivo, the generous Ministry of Magic pension and the high-ranking position in the umbrella company are far less soothing than this portrait. What's more, Alan Harris, who can drive the mysterious man away, promised to personally Teach the baby—Although Alan, a professor at Hogwarts, has taught many students, the promise here is obviously an apprenticeship like the more traditional way of ancient wizards.
