HP Paranoia and Antisocial

Della.

The name Severus still remembered.

Before he left with Wardmont, the biggest reason why his and Irene's life could change was because of Della's help.

It's good news that Irene hasn't cut ties with Della.

Severus had been worried about Irene during their time apart: if Irene persisted with Tobias, would she get beaten?Can she have a life of her own?Will she continue her friendship with the witch?Could her work still belong to her? ...

There were so many problems bothering Severus, and even though Irene was an adult and his mother, Irene hadn't been able to take care of herself to be honest.

So now that he could eat the dishes made by Irene, the taste was far better than before, and knowing that she had separated from Tobia, and still maintained her friendship with Della... This made Severus feel more at ease.

Although the place to live is simple, it is clean and tidy.Irene's complexion is also much better than before, and her spirit is also better.

At least it was much better than he expected.

"Okay." Severus agreed.

He didn't have a deep impression of Della, but both Irene and he had been taken care of by her. He was willing to meet Della's family to express his gratitude—and in the future, he also hoped that she and Irene could continue to be like this friendship.

Severus agreed to Irene's request so easily, without even seeking his consent, and Wardmont keenly felt that Severus' mentality seemed to have changed again.

And strangely, he wasn't at all offended by it.

Something gradually slipped out of control unconsciously.

"Great, I'll call Della right away." Irene was glad that Severus agreed to her request.

Waldmont didn't show any displeasure either, which made Irene aware.She had already eaten enough, so she didn't want to waste time, so she called Della directly and told Della that she would bring Severus to her house.

Today is not the day before Christmas, and tonight is not Christmas Eve, but it is just in time for the holiday, so Della wants to invite Irene to her house for a gathering and dinner.

This was agreed very early on.

……

"Honey, who called just now?" Della's husband, Connor, was trying to fix the huge turkey.

Della put down the phone and happily teased little Phoebe who was catching bubbles: "It's Irene, she said she would bring her son and her son's teacher tonight."

"Irene? Son? Isn't her son..." Connor poked his head out, really confused.

Because Della and Irene are friends, Kona also often learns about Irene, including the fact that Irene's child was taken away.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that her child is back with her." Della gained a little weight again, and her smile was very round and cute. She pinched her daughter's face, "Little Phoebe can see her brother today, are you happy?" ?”

The chubby girl waved her arms and responded to Della ignorantly.

"Then I have to prepare to order other dishes." Kona also thinks this is a good thing.

Irene, who has no family by her side, they have been very worried.Connor is very aware of how bad Irene is, that is, after Phoebe was born, Della asked Irene to be Phoebe's godmother, which made her a lot better.

If Della hadn't been with Irene, maybe Irene would have been worse than Severus had imagined.

Della knew that Irene's child was not around, and it was Irene who sent him to study with the powerful wizard Maurice.But Tobia, who is Irene's husband, didn't believe it. He thought that Irene, a witch, even cursed their son. Later, he also identified Irene's boss as the object of Irene's affair, and kicked Irene out.

Tobia firmly believes that witches are inherently bad, and he doesn't think that witches can find a decent job. No matter what Irene explains, he doesn't believe it.

In this way, Irene lived in the company dormitory.

Things were terrible for Erin during that time and she was devastated.It was work that relieved her pain and loneliness, and after being recognized at work, Irene devoted herself to work without any private life at all.

Della always invites Irene when she is free, hoping to use the good family atmosphere of her home to make Irene feel better.

After giving birth to her daughter, Della specifically asked Irene to be her daughter's godmother.In this way, Irene slowly got out of the predicament.

I believe that after Irene's son comes back, her situation will be better.

……

Kona's house was in London, between a bookshop and a coffee shop on York Road.

Della gave Irene the door key, and after it was activated, Irene, Severus, and Wardmont appeared at Kona's house in just an instant.

The interior decoration of Kona’s home is not to mention a style, but a warm arrangement.It's not as good as Wardmont's manor, or Prince's house, but it's also much better than Irene's dormitory.

The burning fireplace made Kona's house extremely warm, and there was the aroma of cream mixed with other spices in the air. Just by smelling it, one could guess how rich the dinner was.

"Irene—" Della came over just as they stood still, "That's great, the little one was still asking why you didn't come?"

Little Phoebe in her arms waved happily to Irene.

Irene took little Phoebe and rubbed it affectionately, making little Phoebe laugh non-stop.Holding little Phoebe, Erin introduced them to each other.

Della hugged Severus enthusiastically, and when she wanted to hug with Waldmont, Waldmont had already reached out to shake her hand.Della could only shake hands with Waldmont.

"Come and sit down, we have to wait for a while to eat." Della led them to the sofa to sit down.

"Allen is still busy? I'll help." Irene hadn't sat down yet, and she always felt sorry for being a guest and not doing anything.

"No need, you and Phoebe had a good time, Severus just came back, so you should spend more time with him." Della patted Phoebe on the head, told Phoebe and Irene to get along well, and turned around by herself into the kitchen.

Although children are very cute, it is indeed a very hard work to take care of children.Especially since there is no one else to help, Kona only has a short vacation during this period, and little Phoebe has always been taken by Della alone, even if she loves her own child, she sometimes feels tired.

Now that she can let go for a little while, even helping her husband, Della feels a lot easier.

"Della and Aaron are very good people, you can be more casual." Irene said to Waldmont and poured him a cup of tea, and then turned to Severus when Waldmont picked it up and drank it Say, "Severus, little Phoebe is your sister, do you want to hug her?"

Severus didn't expect Erin to say that, and his eyes didn't rest on little Phoebe.At this time, Irene was holding little Phoebe, making her face Severus, and that festive red and green Christmas outfit made little Phoebe even more cute.

Staring blankly at little Phoebe, her cheeks were rosy, like a plump and sweet apple, and she smiled foolishly with her mouth open, with saliva still hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"Little Phoebe, call brother." Irene repeated the word "brother" in Little Phoebe's ear.

Little Phoebe just smiled innocently, and she watched Severus murmuring inexplicably.

"Severus, try?" Irene encouraged Severus.

Severus hesitated for a moment, but took Phoebe anyway.She was about one year old, and if I remember correctly, Della was pregnant when Irene and Della met for the first time.

It turned out that the child was born smoothly while he was away.

Those stagnant memories flow quietly.

Little Phoebe's body was so soft that Severus hugged her carefully.The hands that used to be extremely precise in cooking potion ingredients were unexpectedly clumsy at this time.

Little Phoebe struggled, uncomfortable in Severus' arms.Severus blindly obeyed little Phoebe's movements, but he really couldn't take care of it, little Phoebe had never been wronged like this, and burst into tears.

Severus stiffened even more, watching little Phoebe kicking and crying in his arms.

Just when Severus was at a loss, Waldmont took little Phoebe away from Severus' arms, and then easily comforted little Phoebe, and she even laughed at Waldmont soon .

"Little Phoebe—" Della thought that Phoebe was looking for her when she heard the crying, but when she came out, she was surprised to see Phoebe laughing in "Maurice"'s arms.

"Sorry, I thought little Phoebe wasn't used to having so many people..."

"Okay, Della, we're ready for dinner." Alan Kona squeezed Della with a plate of dishes.

"I'll come too." Irene hugged Della and went to the kitchen to serve dinner together.

During the dinner, little Phoebe, who was sitting in a baby chair, continued to show his kindness to Wardmont.

Severus was a little annoyed.
