Enthusiastic Tonks

Is 12 days a short time?

"You know, the Burrow was built in just one afternoon by Molly Weasley and the others." Sirius simply turned his head away, puzzled, in response to Harry's question.

Magic is not something inconvenient!

Is building a house just a matter of having a magic wand?

This is why the Black House chose to hoard land instead of engaging in other businesses.

Because for the others, the wizard can achieve them simply by using the Power of I Guess.

Even with land, to be honest, wizards can occupy the empty houses of wealthy Muggle.

A Confundus Charm can make this Muggle millionaire subconsciously forget about the asset every time.

"Alright." Harry thought for a moment, and was no longer surprised by Ryan, who had instantly transported them from the moon back to Hogwarts to the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle.

Then he grabbed Sirius and pretended to walk towards the mansion.

"Wait, didn't I tell you? Remus and Tonks are still waiting for me at home."

"And this is just a stopover." Sirius didn't move, adopting the same nonchalant smile Harry had seen in his parents' photo album.

"Am I supposed to be left here?"

"Ginny isn't here, is she? You and Mr. Weasley want me to be alone with her here until the engagement?" Harry instinctively thought of this possibility.

"Great idea!"

"But unfortunately it isn't."

"I think you're very familiar with this." Sirius waved his hand, drawing Harry's attention to the pockets of his suit, which even Uncle Vernon couldn't find fault with.

It was as if he took something out of there, and after confirming that Harry was looking at his clenched, upward-facing hand, he rang out, "Ta-da!"

"Look what this is!" It was a pink object, similar to a security door used in the Muggle world.

It's just that it's very small, small enough to fit in your pocket.

Harry felt this looked familiar, and although the answer was in his mouth, he couldn't quite recall it.

Sirius smiled smugly, then carefully placed it in front of them, standing it in the middle of the marble path, and tapped it with his wand.

Glug glug!

The sound of the oatmeal porridge being overcooked came from that small door.

Before Harry could even take a closer look, a 2-meter-high pink iron gate appeared on the spot.

"It got bigger—"

"Wait, this is—this can't really be—" Harry's face turned bright red with excitement, as if he had just applied rouge to his face.

"Yes, it's the Anywhere Door, portable."

"Isn't it incredible that you can cast a magic spell that enlarges or shrinks while preserving the original magic?"

"If things continue like this, maybe I can fulfill my dream—to shrink Grimmauld Place, Number 12 and travel with James and the others," Sirius said of Harry's father, his eyes welling up with tears again.

"This is exactly the same as in Doraemon!" Harry exclaimed briefly, then looked at Sirius. "So this really is our destination. We still need to go to Grimmauld Place."

"This was specially commissioned by me." Sirius looked at the smooth and translucent mansion not far away. "It's not just a place to stay, but also the place where you and Ginny will hold your engagement party on the 21st."

"It's so big, that—" Harry was startled.

He had assumed it was just the Weasley family and Harry's friends.

"Don't worry, I know you don't like a lot of people. Apart from Molly Weasley and the others, you and Ginny can decide on the rest of the people."

"Apart from your unwillingness to leave the Dursley family, I guessed everything else fairly correctly." Sirius's expression at that moment made Harry feel inexplicably sad.

His godfather was trying to curry favor with him in an almost obsequious manner.

"Sirius, you've done more than enough." Harry pursed his lips.

"No, I don't think it's enough. You're willing to stay in a family like the Dursley'."

"This shows that I'm far from doing well enough." Sirius looked awkwardly at the fountain beside him.

"These are not the same thing."

"You are very good."

"It's so good that I feel like I have a father now."

"You know, I have no memory of my father."

"I never felt fatherly love in the Dursley family."

"But you make me feel that way." Harry ran to the fountain and stared intently at Sirius.

"Alright, we should go now." Sirius wiped his wet eyes, his ears turning slightly red.

He quickly avoided Harry's gaze and looked at the pink door that the two of them had been using for play.

He inserted the wand into what should have been the keyhole, closed his eyes, and seemed to be silently reciting something in his mind.

Then a crisp click sounded.

With a gentle push, the Entrance Hall of the Black House, lined with portraits on both sides, appeared before them.

Lupin stood hand in hand with a brown-haired stranger.

She must be Tonks.

"She's my relative, Nymphadora Tonks," Sirius said, pulling his wand out of the keyhole.

As if its magic had run out, the Anywhere Door shrank with a snap and was put into Sirius's pocket.

"Sirius, don't call me Nymphadora." The woman shuddered and said, "It's Tonks."

"Nymphadora Tonks prefers to be called by her last name only." Sirius shrugged.

"If your silly mother called you Nymphadora, you would do the same." Tonks' brown hair suddenly turned a bubblegum pink as she glared at Sirius.

Harry suspected that if Lupin hadn't stopped her, she probably would have pulled out her wand and given Sirius a good whack.

But this witch, whose personality could be described as somewhat fiery, regained her gentle and tender nature after Lupin pulled her back.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

No, he's just a different person.

Tonks closed his eyes, a tense expression on his face, as if he were desperately trying to recall something.

A second later, her hair returned to the same brown color as Lupin's.

"Oops!"

"I almost forgot about you!" Tonks walked over to Harry, pulled him into a tight hug, and whispered in Harry's ear, "I don't know how to thank you, Cupid of Remus and me!"

She looked Harry up and down for a while, seemingly misunderstanding Harry expression. "Surprised? I'm Metamorphmagus."

In other words, I can change my appearance at will. I was born that way.

During the Auror training, I got the highest score in Concealment and Disguise without even having to learn anything.

I think Mad-Eye might have recruited me into the Order of the Phoenix because of it.

"Hi Harry, well, it's been a few days." Lupin also came closer, and Tonks leaned into his arms.

He was nowhere to be seen the arrogant look he had when he was talking about his talent.
