Hogwarts: Who made her a professor?

Chapter 477 Christmas Holiday

People without thought, he must worry about.

Belvina decided to make the most of the last bit of time before her vacation.

She first reviewed the department's holiday duty roster, and then toured the wizarding community.

That wasn't all; she also went to great lengths to make a trip to Azkaban, and repeatedly reminded the staff guarding the area...

He repeatedly instructed me.

Belvina warned them not only to be wary of a prison break when the guards were lax, but also to be careful that the Dementors guarding Azkaban might turn against them and let the prisoners escape.

As guardians of wizard prisons, Dementors have unique abilities. They can make prisoners lose the desire to escape, inflict terrible punishments, and prevent them from ever feeling joy again.

However, as allies in the Wizarding Wars, Dementors are not trustworthy at all. If they were to join Voldemort's forces like werewolves, they would gain the same freedom and be able to attack humans at will.

Belvina distrusts the Dementors, but the resistance to eliminating them is too great. Belvina and Amelia can only allow the Dementors to continue guarding Azkaban while guarding against these evil and vile non-beings turning against them.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of running around, the Christmas holidays at Hogwarts arrived as scheduled, and the once noisy castle suddenly became quiet.

Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny all returned to Grimmauld Place in London.

Belvina and Bassheda returned to their farmhouse in the Fertile Plain.

During the day, Belvina goes to work at the Ministry of Magic, while Bassheda stays home, happily engrossed in a romance novel.

In the evenings, the two would sometimes stroll around the village, and sometimes they would go together to number twelve Grimmauld Place to freeload a meal and drinks.

Every time they went to Black's old house for a meal, they would run into members of the Order of the Phoenix, including the paranoid Moody, the charming Kingsley, and the returned-to-work Bodmore, among others.

Among the members who came and went at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, the ones who stayed for meals the most were the newly promoted Auror Tonks, Nymphadora Tonks, Belvina, and Sirius's niece.

In the old Black family home, Andromeda and Tonks were taboo words, representing the decline of the noble and oldest Black family.

Even now, Nymphadora Tonks is still unwelcome in this old house. The house-elf Kreacher hates her, and Mrs. Black in the portrait will seize the limited time to hurl insults at Tonks.

After all, it was hard for the Black family to accept that the noble Andromeda Black married Ted Tonks, a Muggle-born man. What was even harder to accept was that they had a "bastard" child, Nymphadora Tonks.

Therefore, in the portrait, Walbuga Black spared her own son Sirius, but instead unleashed her full firepower on Tonks.

Despite always getting scolded, Tonks seemed to have taken root in Black's old house. Every time Belvina came over for a meal, she would see Tonks sitting next to Sirius and Lupin.

Belvina didn't think it was a coincidence. When she wasn't eating at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Tonks must have been there too, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to run into each other every time!

In response, Bassheda, who has recently been reading a lot of romance novels, offered a very reasonable explanation: Ancient Runewin Sweetheart believes that Tonks may have fallen for someone in the Order of the Phoenix.

As for which one Tonks falls for, the uneducated Bassheda can't guess and can only use the process of elimination.

First, Dumbledore and Moody must be ruled out. Dumbledore is over a hundred years old, the age difference is too great;

Although Moody and Tonks are both mentor and friend, their age difference is too great.

Next, Arthur Weasley and Baudrillard can also be ruled out, as they either already have families or are about to have families.

After eliminating all the impossible options, only Sirius Black, Lupin, and Kingsley remained.

Kingsley Shackler, from a distinguished family, possessed outstanding personal abilities and was extremely charismatic. Apart from his slightly darker skin tone, he had no other flaws.

Sirius Black comes from a similarly distinguished family, possesses undeniable personal abilities, is witty and humorous, and is handsome and dashing. Aside from being slightly impulsive, he is otherwise quite good.

Finally, only the mild-mannered Remus Lupin remained. Belvina and Bassheda both agreed that Lupin was the most likely candidate.

low.

Although Remus Lupin had many strengths, he had far too many weaknesses compared to Kingsley and Sirius.

Because of his wolf syndrome, Lupin couldn't find a decent job and he was broke; because of his wolf syndrome, Lupin suffered a lot and looked more weathered than his peers; because of his wolf syndrome, Lupin wasn't as carefree as Sirius Black.

In short, Remus Lupin's incurable werewolf syndrome overshadows all his good points. Who could bear to have their husband transform into an extremely dangerous werewolf every full moon?

Anyway, Belvina couldn't bear it, not because she was afraid of being bitten by the werewolf, but because the werewolf syndrome would follow the werewolf for life, which was an extremely painful thing for both the werewolf and its mate.

There's no such thing as filial piety when someone is chronically ill; when disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives. In short, Belvina didn't think any ordinary person would be willing to marry a werewolf, let alone have children with him.

After a haphazard analysis, Belvina and Bassheda identified their target and began observing the interactions between Tonks, Sirius, and Kingsley.

After comparing the two, they found that Tonks interacted with Sirius more often.

This result left Belvina with mixed feelings of joy and worry. She was happy that Sirius Black finally had someone to take him, but worried that Tonks might be the one who liked him.

Although consanguineous marriage is not a big deal for British wizards, especially pure-blood wizards, Belvina couldn't help but worry about her future nephew, whose future was still far from being settled.

What if someone becomes mentally unstable like the Gaunt family?

What if someone looks like a joke, like the Gaunt family?

Although Sirius Black was also the product of incestuous marriage, Belvina couldn't help but worry, even more so than Voldemort.

The thought that the future heir of the Black family might be mentally unstable, or even have multiple hands, with one eye on guard and the other on watch, made Belvina so worried that she ate two extra bowls of rice.

On Christmas Day, a bittersweet Belvina went straight to Sirius Black and cornered her older brother, who had just woken up, in his bedroom.

"I'm asking you, what's your relationship with Tonks like? Or rather, what do you think of Tonks as a person?"

Looking at the serious-looking Belvina, Sirius was completely bewildered. He asked, puzzled, "Tonks and I are pretty close. Why are you suddenly asking such a strange question?"

"I mean, what do you think of Tonks?" Belvina asked seriously. If it was a mutual love, she wouldn't object to the marriage.

"She's great! Optimistic, humorous, and cheerful. I haven't seen such an energetic girl in a long time." Sirius looked at Belvina with a puzzled expression, thinking that his sister might be acting strangely.

Sirius thought for a moment, then said, "There's one thing I'm not entirely satisfied with: Tonks' personality isn't quite like Andromeda's; she's more like Ted."

Tonks' mother, Andromeda, is Sirius's favorite cousin.

Upon hearing this, Belvina raised an eyebrow. What was going on? Was the falling flower willing, but the flowing water indifferent?

"Don't you think Tonks likes you quite a bit?" Belvina asked tentatively. "She's always around you."

"What's wrong now?" Sirius asked, even more puzzled. "Andromeda is my cousin, and I'm Tonks' uncle. Isn't it normal for her to like me?"

Suddenly, Sirius seemed to realize something, and he continued, "Ha! You're jealous, Belvina! You're jealous that Tonks gets along better with me, but not as close to you, aren't you?"

The relationship between Belvina and Tonks, well...

Starting from Andromeda, Belvina was happy to take care of Tonks, after all, they were close relatives, and Tonks was also a likable person.

Although Belvina and Tonks get along well, their relationship isn't as close as Sirius's, probably because Belvina is Tonks's boss.

In the workplace, Belvina is Tonks's director; in life, she is Tonks's aunt.

Even someone as optimistic and cheerful as Tonks would find it difficult to remain so when faced with the dual pressures of being both a boss and an elder.

That's not what I meant!

Belvina slapped away Sirius's hand that was pointing at her.

She continued, "What I'm saying is—I suspect Tonks might like you. You should understand what I mean, don't pretend you don't understand."

Sirius, suddenly realizing what was happening, burst into laughter. His body language was beyond words; he was practically rolling on the ground in a rage.

After a while, when Belvina rolled up her sleeves to reveal her fair and smooth forearms, Sirius, who was laughing wildly, finally managed to stop laughing, rubbed his stomach, and stood up.

"Tonks could never like me, and I could never like Tonks. Stop worrying about all that!"

Sometimes, Sirius really understands Belvina's thought process; he can instantly guess what she's thinking and what she's worried about.

"Instead of worrying about these trivial matters, you should go work at the Ministry of Magic," Sirius continued, as he opened the package Belvina had given him and took out his Christmas present.

A sweater hand-knitted by Belvina, in a slightly flamboyant dark red, with Sirius Black's initials embroidered in yellow yarn on the front: SB.

This was something Belvina learned from Molly, who gave the children sweaters with their initials on the front. Of course, the initials on Sirius's sweater were intentional on Belvina's part, even though Sirius had no idea what those two letters meant.

"Are you sure there's absolutely no possibility between you and Tonks?" Belvina remained serious; the future of the Black family was at stake, and she had to be meticulous.

"I'm absolutely certain that there's no future for Tonks and me," Sirius said, holding up the sweater in his hand. "But you've reminded me that Tonks might actually have someone she likes."

Upon hearing Sirius's words, Belvina considered another possibility: Kingsley Shackleton.

At this moment, Belvina no longer had to worry about the future of the Black family, but she began to feel indignant for Sirius, wondering where Sirius was inferior to Kingsley.

"Tonks asked me a lot about Remus; she seemed very interested in Remus's past." Sirius was still holding up the sweater, its red and yellow colors typical of Gryffindor, and SB being the initials of his name. Sirius was very pleased with the sweater.

"You mean, Tonks is asking you about Remus, and she's very interested in him?" Belvina asked incredulously.

"Yes," Sirius said casually, "but I've never thought about it that way because I think it's unlikely."

Logically speaking, it's quite unlikely that Tonks would like Lupin.

Because of the heavy burden of pain and shame that werewolves bear, few werewolves have married for centuries, let alone had children.
