John and Hermione greeted everyone in the room.

Then, when they saw the pink and tender little one in Tonks' arms, they were both stunned for a moment.

Hi, long time no see.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't attend your engagement ceremony before, because I was having a really tough time with this little one at the time."

Tonks smiled and winked at Hermione and John, then said apologetically.

However, when she mentioned the little one in her arms, her tone was full of undisguised tenderness and pride.

The baby in her arms was waving its little hands and babbling, its round eyes curiously looking around.

"This is Teddy, our son."

Professor Lupin, beaming with happiness, put his arm around Tonks' shoulder and introduced them to the two of them.

"Wow! He's so cute!" Hermione exclaimed excitedly as she leaned forward and carefully reached out to touch the soft, cuddly little life.

John also curiously went over, having already heard that Professor Lupin and Tonks were together and had a child.

The baby should be a few months old by now.

I've finally met the real person!

"Congratulations, Professor Lupin!" John said to Professor Lupin with a genuine smile.

"Thank you, John."

Professor Lu Ping's smile carried a hint of relief, as if this little life had soothed all the dark years of his past.

Tonks looked down gently at the teddy bear in her arms and said softly, "He's a naughty little guy, full of energy, and keeps me up every night."

She complained, but her eyes were full of undisguised doting affection, and Professor Lu Ping also looked at his wife and children with a tender expression.

Hermione crouched down next to Tonks and asked softly, "Can I hug him?"

Tonks smiled and nodded, carefully handing Teddy to Hermione.

She also thoughtfully taught Hermione how to hold the baby, supporting his head and back.

Hermione nervously and excitedly took the teddy bear. The little guy squirmed in her arms and then gave a small yawn.

Hermione's heart melted at the sight.

"He's so small..." Hermione murmured softly, her voice carrying a tenderness she had never felt before.

"He was even smaller when he was born, only a little over three pounds, like a little puppy," Tonks said with a smile, gesturing.

The two looked at the baby and chatted quietly about various things before and after childbirth. Professor Lu Ping occasionally added a few words from the side, and Sirius Black also made some jokes.

John looked at them and suddenly felt that it would be wonderful to end the war with Voldemort as soon as possible.

If Voldemort's threat were still present, how could they possibly be gathered together like this, enjoying family time and peacefully welcoming the arrival of a new life?

......

As a new mother, Tonks received a lot of childcare experience from Mrs. Weasley.

Thanks to this incident, the two of them became much closer.

Mrs. Weasley used to dislike Tonks's carefree and irreverent personality.

Tonks also always felt that Mrs. Weasley was too rigid.

But now, because of Teddy's presence, the two have become inseparable friends.

At that moment, Bill, holding Fleur's hand, also came to John and Hermione's side.

"How have you been lately?"

"Great, and you, Brother Bill, I heard you've reached the point of discussing marriage."

John greeted Bill with a smile, while glancing at Fleur.

This former beauty queen of Beauxbatons is still radiant today.

Compared to her sharp edge during the three-way battle, she now exudes a more gentle and mature aura.

She smiled and nodded at John, her voice soft: "John, it's been a long time."

"Haha, we really are getting married."

"I'm here today because I heard that you and Hermione are visiting, so I wanted to personally invite you to our wedding during the Christmas holidays."

Upon hearing Bill's words, John and Hermione both showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Really? Congratulations!"

"We will definitely attend."

John and Hermione agreed in unison, both with genuine smiles on their faces.

"That's great!" Bill laughed heartily.

"When I went to your engagement ceremony that day, I noticed that you both seemed extremely nervous."

"I wonder if I'll be nervous when it's my turn to get married, haha."

Bill felt like he had found someone to confide in, and he chatted with John about the trivial matters of wedding preparations.

He, the groom-to-be, was clearly both excited and nervous about the big day that was approaching.

"You know what, I completely forgot what I was doing at the time. I just did whatever the officiant told me to do."

"I bet I'd do it if he told me to jump around a couple of times."

John's words made Bill burst into laughter, while Hermione rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"However, when it comes to a proper wedding, we'll have to go to your wedding to learn from your experience," John added.

Hearing this, Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not refute it.

Bill and Fleur asked jokingly, "So when are you planning to have your wedding?"

"Uh, we haven't even started discussing it yet. Let's wait until I graduate, at least." John scratched his head sheepishly and looked at Hermione, who couldn't quite put her finger on it either.

"Then don't forget to invite us."

"Definitely, definitely."

As the group began to chat, the atmosphere became increasingly relaxed and harmonious.

John also inquired about Harry and Ron's jobs in the Auror's office.

"Well, nothing major has happened since Voldemort was defeated."

"Every day is spent either catching thieves or patrolling the streets."

Ron shrugged, his tone tinged with complaint.

"It's good that nothing serious happened. Do you want another Dark Lord to appear and be caught by you?"

Tonks, their superior in the Auror office, sat not far away and complained to Ron.

When Voldemort was rampant, the Auror office was so busy they were constantly on the go, and they faced life-threatening situations every day.

Ron chuckled and scratched his head. "That's true."

"It's fine as it is," Harry said with a smile.

"John, would you like to come to the Auror's office after you graduate?"

Then Tonks asked John again.

If John, this great Buddha, were to become an Auror, then the fighting power of their Auror office would be comparable to Hogwarts.

"I'll pass," John waved his hand.

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, feel free to come to me. I'll help you for free, just like a friend."

"But if I were to actually become an Auror, I'd rather not."

He can now make a lot of money by tinkering with potions.

He could even make money in the Muggle world, so why should he suffer as an Auror?

"That's fine then, we're relieved to hear that."

Tonks smiled and nodded, not pressing the matter further.

Afterwards, they had a meal there and chatted for an afternoon before ending this pleasant gathering.

Before parting, Bill and Fleur warmly invited the two to visit their shell cottage, saying that the sea view there was absolutely stunning and that they could stay there for a few days to relax.
