Chapter 145 Visitor
Patrick grows up very fast.
On a rare sunny day in Godric's Hollow, when Sirius led Harry and Ron to knock on the door of Langley's house, it had grown as big as a swan and stood from Marne's shoulder. Moved to his arm.
This made Ma En feel that as long as he got another hunting dog, he could experience the happy life of a playboy and a flying eagle and a running dog.
Then Sirius came.
Seeing the wretched look on this guy's face, Ma En gave up his idea.
"Huh? Marn, where did you get a phoenix?" Sirius's eyesight was not bad, and he didn't mistake it for Fox. You must know that Patrick stood still and put away those long green feathers. At that time, it was exactly the same as Fox.
Uncharacteristically, Harry didn't ask any questions out of curiosity, with a slightly sad look on his face, and Ron didn't make much fuss.
It is also understandable that a child who has never really seen his parents since he was a child will have close contact with his parents' past for the first time, which is their residence and cemetery, and no one will be happy.
The Langleys had a very good relationship with Sirius. Perhaps considering that they were both children who were easier to talk to, they brought Black into the castle first. Ron was also dragged in by Sirius, leaving only Marn here to accompany Harry. .
"Marn, do you think if my father and mother were still here, wouldn't we have been good friends who grew up together?" Harry looked at the other end of the valley from a distance. He had never been to his family's old home. , but subconsciously knew it was there.
"We are good friends now, aren't we, Harry, maybe you came a little too early..."
Ma En did not say the rest of the words. He felt that a little boy of this age might not be ready to confirm with his own eyes the fact that his parents had long since died. There was always a big difference between seeing and hearing.
"Actually, I was still hesitant until yesterday. I seemed...scared."
"But you finally let Sirius take you here. You knew that as long as you didn't say a word, he would happily agree with your idea."
"I don't know. I almost said it several times, but every time an inexplicable force stopped me. This morning I finally made up my mind to come and take a look," Harry said with some self-deprecation, "Maybe I'm cowardly. , too cowardly to refuse his own proposal.”
Marn shook his head and patted the little boy in front of him on the back comfortingly: "On the contrary, I think you are too brave, Harry, you are a true Gryffindor."
"I hope so. I still don't know how to face it."
"In that case..." Marn stood up and pulled Harry up, "Let's go, you have to face it, I will accompany you. Sirius has been sad for these years, don't let him see it again."
Harry didn't ask Ma En why he knew his parents' old residence. He just followed Ma En step by step to the opposite side of the valley.
Ma En pointed towards the empty space in front of him: "This is it."
A house appeared on the ground, but it didn't feel so out of place, as if it was supposed to be here.
After twisting the somewhat rusty handle and making a not-so-pleasant sound, Ma En pushed open the somewhat old door and made a gesture to Harry.
Harry looked straight at the old house, as if his shoes were filled with lead. He slowly moved to the door, one step at a time, and gently touched the door frame, which had a lot of skin on it. He walked heavily into the house.
There were broken traces of battle everywhere. He used magic to clean them as he walked, and piled these broken wooden decorations into the open space in the living room on the first floor. His movements became slower and slower. At the end, he stopped picking up the trash. Instead, he stood on tiptoe, as if he was afraid of damaging these traces.
He slowly walked in front of the door of the master bedroom on the second floor. After more than ten minutes, he finally made up his mind and pushed the door gently.
Due to damage from the battle and disrepair, the bedroom door was not strong. The thin Harry just touched it lightly and it fell down, throwing up a cloud of dust on the ground.
Harry turned his back to Ma En and said, "Man, can you go back and get me some clothes? It's a bit cold."
"Okay, I'll be back in about half an hour."
Ma En responded, left the old house, and walked farther away.
When he was halfway down the slope, he met Ron and three girls. They might be a little worried and came over to take a look. Seeing that there was only Marn himself, the red-haired boy asked with some confusion: "Marn, where is Harry?" "
"He is in his own house. I think it will take a while," Ma En gestured behind him, "Let's just wait for him here."
Ron was just a straight-tempered person and was not stupid enough to go up and have a look. After nodding in agreement, he sat on some big rocks on the gentle slope with several other people and stayed quietly for a while.
It didn't take Harry half an hour, but only ten minutes to walk out of the room. Except for the redness of his eyes and his low mood, there was nothing unusual about him.
"Well...are we going to...another place?" Marn tried to ask. He didn't really want Harry to stick to his idea. There were too many things experienced in the same day. Considering their age, it was not What a good thing.
A look of relief appeared on Harry's face: "No, I'm not ready yet. I plan to come back when I'm an adult. Maybe I will move to this place after graduation, and we can be neighbors by then." "
"Very welcome."
"Then I will come too. There is nothing in this world that makes me happier than living with my friends."
Ma En smiled: "We can also invite other people. When we were on vacation, we discussed building a village here in the future. All the people and friends we know will live here together... I also plan to buy it. The residence of Muggles over there makes this place, like Hogsmeade, a place where only wizards live. Maybe in a few decades, it will become a must-visit place for wizards to travel. This valley The scenery is very nice.”
Ron looked forward to the bright future with some longing: "In that case, this place will definitely become a very, very good place to live..."
"Definitely, but...we need to build it first."
Harry looked at the group of friends laughing and discussing with a smile on his face: "We will definitely be able to build something. After all, as long as friends are together, there is nothing we can't accomplish."
"of course."
