Not long after returning to the long-lost room, Avella was called to the study by Edward, who had a slight arc on the corner of his mouth, making his whole expression look particularly sinister.As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw the brick books stacked on the exquisite nineteenth-century mahogany table that Esme usually took care of.Her original stop failed when Edward unceremoniously pushed her into the study with his hand, and then she heard her dear brother say: "Take a look."

Avella pursed her lips, and picked up one of the books: "Ed, I'm just like you." She pressed her thumb against the side of the book, and with a movement of her wrist, the papers that exuded a faint mint smell rattled turned over.

She remembered every theory and every anatomical diagram mentioned in these medical books. The only difference between Avella and other relatives in the Karen family is that she had never tried it.

"Well, it's not this one." Edward sat in Esme's favorite seat, resting one foot on the other.He watched Avella obediently following his instructions to find a book she hadn't read in the pile of books, and then her sister quickly picked up a book with a dark leather cover.She looked at him suspiciously, but Edward just smiled and refused to speak.

Avella opened the book with a light taste - she recognized the smell of Emmett, who didn't like reading books, from it. Of course, except for Emmett, all her family members left notes on this book. The scent of their uncontrollable smiles.It was new and strange, because Avella had no idea what it was about the book that made her family love it so much.

But after opening it, she was stunned for a long time by seeing a blank page of kraft paper in front of her eyes.

(So?) Avella flipped through the book several times, but couldn't find any traces of her family in it.Raising an eyebrow, Avella decided to ask Edward who had been smiling mysteriously.

Edward's generous tip: "It's about someone."

(But there's no writing on it, Ed.) Avella shook the book in her hand—or maybe call it a notebook now, again.

"...Please, at least be serious." Edward took a deep breath, and then joked with the corners of his lips curled up helplessly.He stared at his sister with warm golden eyes, with great interest: "I didn't know that you forgot my ability after only leaving for a year."

Avella was embarrassed by what Edward said, but now she is really full of NO.12 in Grimmauld Place.But as the embarrassment passed, she pursed her lips lightly looking at the completely blank paper, and quickly covered up the emotions she shouldn't have had before Edward said anything about her.She turned a few pages in silence, but suddenly froze on one of them.

She squinted her eyes, and there was a particularly obvious mark on this page - as if someone had scratched it hard.And when she squinted her eyes and looked carefully, she could even clearly see that her name was written on the mark on the paper.

"?" Avella gently stroked the mark with her hand, and tilted her head slightly to look at Edward.

The little sister with the same brown hair as their mother was frowning her beautiful brows and looked over at this moment. Her skin that should have been as pale as snow became healthy under the orange light—Edward had always liked Esme The choice of light color, this time is no exception.他平时说起话来听着十分欠揍、脑袋里问题最多、也最爱钻牛角尖让他们既无奈又生气的小妹妹现在看起来特别的像小孩子,不是只有冰冷皮肤的吸血鬼,而是活生生的Human beings - a big girl who seems to have little experience in the world.

But the thought was fleeting, and Edward knew better than anyone in his family what Ivy had been through.

"There will be a prize for guessing right." Edward looked at Avella and smiled softly.

Avella looked at Edward in surprise, she could imagine how surprised her expression looked now.Immediately, Edward's complexion changed, the soft arc of the corner of his mouth retracted, and Carlisle reached out to push the messy red hair on his brow, and said to her in a slightly bad tone: "Is there any reward?" gone."

"Oh no! This is what you promised me before." Avella pretended to be innocent and opened her eyes wide, not at all annoyed by the phrase "Ed can be so gentle" just now. Things are scared, but are very interested in the rewards that come out of his mouth!

Edward bared his teeth at her: "Ivy! Now! Immediately! Go back to your room!" There was even a slight growl in his throat.

Avella rushed back to her room with the notebook in her arms. She didn't want to fight Edward, and that was usually something Emmett would do.But she couldn't help but think that if she and Edward fought, maybe a petrification would be enough...

"Ai Wei!" Edward's unbearable and protracted cry came from the study, which made Ai Weila immediately shrink her neck and let her mind go back to her room.Sitting cross-legged on her bed, she spread the black leather book in front of her with a complicated expression.To be honest, she was a little scared to see the contents of this book. The moment she stepped out of the study, she already understood that this book was written by the Karen family as a gift—it was her.

And all she needs is a simple incantation to see what's inside.

(So ​​she still hasn't opened it, or rather, looked at it, has she?) Alice puts Jasper's arm on her and tilts her head to look at Edward, who sits across from them on the armchair.Edward shrugged, rolling his eyes very visibly.

Carlisle looked at Edward with some disapproval, but he didn't speak out to reprimand him.Esme patted Carlisle on the back of his hand lightly, and smiled softly at him as he looked at her.Carlisle's expression softened quickly, one of his hands was loosely around Esme's waist, and then he suddenly noticed that Edward raised the corners of his lips into a smile, while Alice narrowed her eyes and smiled at him like a cat.

Carlisle raised his eyebrows in doubt, but then he reacted.And Rosalie, who had always had a stinky face, couldn't help lowering her head at this time, and the corner of her mouth raised a big arc.

"You guys are fouling!" The voice of their youngest daughter complained from the second floor, with a trembling that they could easily recognize.

The corners of Esme's mouth curled up, and none of them responded to their little daughter/little sister's accusation, but the relaxed atmosphere of the scene was obvious.The scent of sandalwood on Avella's body became stronger in the next moment. She stood at the door of the living room, holding the dark leather book in her hand, and looked at them with the corner of her mouth pursed.

No one spoke to her first.

"Have I ever said that I have always felt that this is unfair?" Avella finally spoke, but the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, revealing her mood at the moment, "You know a lot about me, but I I don't know about you." Her eyes fell on Carlisle and Esme with a pleading look.This is the first time their little sister has taken the initiative to understand them.

Everyone laughed, and after the smile passed, Jasper seldom explained: "You can't expect us old antiques to remember our birthday, Ivy."

"So it's not fair!" Avella came to Edward's side in a flash, and she faced them, "You will make me feel that I have taken advantage of you, and how do you know that my birthday is today?"

"You know who it is, Ivy." Alice pretended to be mysterious, "You have a group of very good companions and friends."

Early in the morning, when the tall man with brown hair and indigo eyes - Remus - arrived at Grimmauld Place, Sirius had already moved all the ribbons that had been cut after Harry fell asleep and waved his wand to the living room on the second floor.He crossed his hips and looked at the piles of ribbons, and then looked at the ancient, luxurious and solemn wallpaper in his home. After a long time, he turned his head and complained to Remus who was standing at the door with a smirk: "You can stop you That annoying laugh?"

"I'm sorry, I can't." Remus took off his robe and put it casually on a wooden cabinet beside him, then he pulled his wand out of his pocket, "But I want to say, when did your taste become so...well, Muggle?"

"Be clear, Rhyme." Sirius raised his eyebrows as Remus flicked his wand lightly, floating the ribbons from the ground, "My dear godson insisted on doing this, and he was going to do it for Ivy A big meal."

"...Big meal?" Remus stopped his movements and looked at Sirius questioningly.

"Hmm, do you think Ivy can eat it?" Sirius smirked, and waved the wand that he didn't know when he got it, and the ribbons that were floating in the air disappeared without a trace.The next moment he had done that, a couple with the same color of hair came out with their child from the green fire burning in the large fireplace in the living room.

Arthur looked at Sirius and Remus with a smile on his belly, and then Moli, who was standing beside him, said, "Aren't you going to decorate the living room? Where are the things?"

What answered them was the beating smiles of their black curly-haired pupils.

"Fred!—George!—drop your things!"

"Oh no, Sirius, you're cleaning too hard..."

"Harry, are you awake? Have breakfast, I brought you cookies..."

Avella stood at the door and couldn't take a step away. Behind her, Alice looked a little impatient but didn't rush in because of Ivy; Edward chuckled for some reason but stopped his voice soon; Esme walked to Elvira's side and pushed her lightly, and Elvira followed her strength and took a step forward.

"Go in!" Alice's voice sounded in Avella's ear.

Elvira frowned helplessly, and walked in first.
