The happiness of HP

It was dark, and Severus returned to his cellar office after his night watch.From a drawer pulled out a shallow stone basin with runes and symbols carved on the rim - the Pensieve.This is Dumbledore's legacy to himself, just like the Snitch to Harry.He took out a bottle containing a bright silver substance from the potion cabinet, and carefully poured the silver thread into the stone basin, for fear that he might miss a single bit.

It is already midnight, and no one will disturb Severus. Severus can see the last video of Harry before he left England. He does not intend to let this memory belonging to Andromeda to anyone else. People watch it with him, including kids.Before entering the memory, he went to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a glass of wine.He took a few sips of the wine, suppressing the little excitement in his heart--I will be able to see my little lover soon, won't I?Even if it's just an image in memory, it's better than nothing.

It has been 12 years, and it is not so easy to stay sane in Azkaban. Even without dementors, the harsh environment of Azkaban is not something ordinary people can live in.Severus had thought of Harry, and had hated Harry.At that time, he thought that his playful partner had already been outside and couldn't think of leaving.Strong emotions were the only thing he had to keep sane for 12 years.However, he was not a qualified partner, why didn't he think about the possibility that Harry already had a child?These days, he was fully aware of how dangerous the birth defects of the two children were, and he could imagine Harry trying his best to research everything that was good for the children during those years.

He asked Narcissa to get this memory, but he wanted to know whether the little wolf cub of the Lupine family was Harry's godson, but Draco had already told him clearly: no.He believed Mrs. Tonks' statement, and also believed in Sith's vision.However, what he was not sure about was: did Harry have any expectations and promises for this child?If not, then next, he will put the unreasonable child aside; but if Harry still has a little expectation for this child, then, Severus felt that he should do something to bring Harry back Time not to be too disappointed.

After drinking the wine, he came to the Pensieve and sank his consciousness into the Pensieve...

12 years ago, on the 52nd day after the war

Andromeda Tonks was sitting by the cradle of her little grandson. The woman who had just lost her daughter looked dejected, her eyes swollen like a pair of walnuts.She was not yet over the pain of loss, at any rate her husband prematurely, and now her little Nymphadora.She looked at the little baby in the cradle, and the fact that the child had inherited his mother's talent for the disguised Animagus was enough to comfort Andromeda.She rocked the cradle gently so that the baby in the cradle fell asleep.Then I left the nursery, went across the corridor to the study, and picked up from the table a letter delivered late last night by a short-eared owl, from Harry Potter .He said in the letter that he hoped to come to visit at 8 o'clock this morning.

Andromeda had already heard the news of Severus' death yesterday, and she had an intuition that the coming of the savior at this time might have something to do with it.It was already 2:50, and Andromeda quickly took care of her image to make herself look more refined, but she did not cover up all the haggard traces.After all, he had just lost his precious daughter, so it was unlikely that he would be too energetic.

Going downstairs to the living room, the doorbell rang just as the time pointed to 3 o'clock.This surprised Andromeda, in her impression, most Gryffindors were not punctual.She got up and opened the door. On a face that she often saw in the newspapers recently was not the familiar smile in the newspapers, but a kind of sadness that people could feel when they looked at it.This surprised Andromeda.

"Mrs. Tonks..." The young savior looked too thin and his voice was extremely hoarse, obviously crying for a long time.The whole person was wrapped in a black robe, and such an image surprised Andromeda.

"Hello, Mr. Potter, please come in first." Andromeda let the savior through the door.

Then, Andromeda saw the savior enter the house carrying a box, and put the box in his hand by the door.Then he followed Andromeda into the reception area, and sat opposite the master after the master sat down.

"Mr. Potter, what would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee?" Andromeda asked.

"White water is fine, thank you." Harry's voice was full of exhaustion and sadness, "Just call me 'Harry', Mrs. Tonks."

"Then, please also call me 'Andromeda'. Speaking of which, we are considered the same generation, Harry." Andromeda could see that the young man needed some comfort, poured him a glass of white water, and put it in front of him.

"Thank you." Harry stretched out his left hand, picked up the glass, and took a sip.

It was this action that made Andromeda startled, because she saw the ring on the young man's hand, the ring finger—the wedding ring!

Andromeda sat down again and asked, "What are you doing here today?"

"Yes. That's it..." Harry put down his water glass and adjusted his sitting posture, "I'm here today because of Edward. At the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Bill last year, Professor Lupine invited me to be the godfather of this child, but at that time I said I would think about it, because I don't know if I will be alive after the war..."

"So, what now?" Andromeda knew that Harry must have made some decision when he came to visit today.

"I'm leaving, Andromeda. And Edward is too young to be with you, I believe, this is the best. So, I came to visit to refuse to be the godfather of this child." Harry said.

"Leave?!" Andromeda repeated in a daze, but quickly recovered, and didn't dwell on the question, "It's also the first time I heard that Remus appointed Teddy's godfather as you. But , Harry, besides this, I think you must have some other reasons?"

"Yes, Andromeda. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Edward, and I don't even know if I will die..." Harry smiled wryly.

"I noticed the wedding ring on your hand, is that why?" Andromeda said.

"Yes, but no," said Harry, resting his hand tenderly on his stomach. "Meanwhile, there are already two little ones here. There is a chance to keep them..."

"Oh, Merlin! You already have a child, and you still want to leave?" Andromeda was surprised, "This child, these two children... don't they..."

Harry didn't answer directly, but just picked up his glass and took another sip of water: "I've figured it out, if there's a boy, I'll let him be named Prince."

"You mean..." Of course Andromeda knew who was the last blood of the Prince family, "Oh, Merlin! Harry, this is very dangerous."

"I know, so I'm here to say goodbye. People will not allow their savior to become a pregnant woman, let alone the father of the child... If, I really die because of childbirth, that's fine, at least he and I will Met at Merlin. If Merlin cares, I think my children have already lost their father. I will love them well and raise them. It is unlikely that I will devote any effort to being Edward’s godfather. Edward deserves better Yes, and I'm selfish after all." Harry gave a sad smile, "So, Andromeda, find a better one for little Edward."

"Don't say that, Harry. Not every child needs a godfather. To be honest, the Tonks family can still support a child. Nefer just passed away not long ago, and I will do everything I can to protect Teddy well." To be honest, I don't think having a famous godfather like you will be a good thing for Teddy's growth, it's better for children to be more ordinary." Andromeda said.

"Of course, I agree with you." Harry stroked his lower abdomen lightly again, "It is Edward's blessing to have a grandma like you."

"By the way, Harry, where are you going? Do you have enough money?" Andromeda asked with concern.

"For some reason, I can't withdraw too much money from my Gringotts account, but I still have enough money. Besides, Sev generally doesn't put money in Gringotts, so I just went to the Spider The back alley has taken a lot of spares, as for more, I believe I can solve them. You don't need to worry, as long as you are alive, everything will have a way." At this moment, the baby's movement was heard upstairs.

"Oh, Teddy is waking up soon, want to see him?" Andromeda asked.

"No, I hope he grows up to be a gentle and knowledgeable wizard like Professor Lupin. In that case, if my children meet him by chance, they will become friends with him, right? Ha ha, but it's hard to say, Professor Sif and Professor Lupine are not very friendly, maybe they will also dislike each other?" Harry said with a smile, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile.

"What kind of result are you expecting?" Andromeda followed Harry and asked.

"From my personal point of view, I naturally hope that they will get along well, but I also hope that my children will be more like their father. This will make me feel that he lives on the children..." Harry said sadly .

Andromeda was silent for a while, trying to say something, but she never said it. The atmosphere of silence lasted for a while.Until the sound of a baby crying upstairs...

"I think I should go, Andromeda," Harry said. "Maybe Edward would be happier and more free without me as his godfather?" He got up and walked to the door, picked up his suitcase, and went out He left a few words on the side, "Don't contact me in the future, because people who have too much relationship with me basically end badly. My parents are like this, Dumbledore is like this, and Sif is like this... ...Perhaps, a person like me has a calamity body and can infect others, but he himself can't die anyway..."

Andromeda sent the young savior to the door, watched him disappear into the black figure at the corner of the street, stood there for a while, and then returned to the house.Going to the grandson's room, walking into the room, seeing the little baby, crying on the bed, quickly picking up the baby and coaxing it...

After reading Andromeda's memory, Severus stood silently beside the Pensieve, looking at the silver thread of memory in it.In it, his young companion was emaciated, and he cared more about Harry's mental and physical state than the conversation.As a famous master of Potions, Severus knew very well that Harry's state was already on the verge of collapse at that time, but it was like this that he gave birth successfully a year later and survived strong.

— what a miracle.

He couldn't imagine what kind of state he would be in now after going through those things?Childbirth itself is extremely harmful to wizards, not to mention that the twins were conceived by accident, and neither party was prepared in advance, not to mention, during pregnancy, Harry did not have the magical power of his partner to guide him...

"The most powerful adventurer so far, elegant, gentle and generous..."

Thinking of the description of Harry in the book introducing adventurers, Severus sighed, no matter what, love him, pet him, and care about him in the days to come.This is probably the only thing I can do.

As for...Edward Lupine, he thought, try to separate him from CSB for the time being, maybe Harry won't be too disappointed when he sees him when he comes back.

"Grow up to be a gentle and knowledgeable wizard like Professor Lupine"?Regarding this point, Severus had reservations, he still knew what kind of person Remus Lupine was.If it weren't for the blow of being bitten by a werewolf when he was young, Lupine would definitely have the publicity and arrogance no less than the old Potter and Black's stupid dog.After all, Gryffindors are underwhelming.Only the Gryffindor who was really hit was the real Gryffindor.

Just like a natural stubborn stone, it needs to go through various tests before it can become a successful work of art.

But at present, I am afraid that only the fact that Harry himself admits that he is not his godfather can hit that child.After the blow, with a real hero to set an example, Severus believed that the kid would be fine.
