Chapter 645 Awakening
Chapter 645 Awakening
Teal did not act rashly, but continued to observe.
In the next few days, Harry could always find Professor Dumbledore absent, dragging Ron and Hermione over to see his parents in the Mirror of Erised.
Just as Teal had imagined at the beginning, Ron and Hermione had slowly realized the dangers of the Mirror of Erised and began to persuade Harry not to indulge in it, but Harry was preoccupied with his parents.
Finally, late one night when Teal was on duty, she saw the little Gryffindor who had promised her not to wander at night, but still broke out of the common room and headed to the empty classroom.
Teal stood outside the empty classroom, listening to Harry talking to his "parents" inside, and sighed silently. Professor Dumbledore stood beside her at some point: "It's normal for a child to miss his family."
"I know." Till knew Harry's pain since childhood, so although he knew about Harry's night march tonight, he was not disappointed.
Putting yourself in his shoes, if Teal were Harry, he would probably choose to go out at night. Because he would toss and turn in sleep, and as soon as he closed his eyes, all he could think about was the Potters and his parents who loved him.
"He saw more than just his parents, right?" Listening to Harry's words, Teal felt that Harry was not only talking to his parents, but maybe other people in the Potter family, and maybe Evans too. several?
"Who knows? After all, only Harry can see it, maybe you and me." Professor Dumbledore patted Till's shoulder, "You go in."
Tier raised his eyebrows: "Just me?"
"only you."
Professor Dumbledore covered his mouth and yawned, turned around and left with his hands behind his back: "It's enough to have you here. I have to go back and get an early sleep tonight."
Teal watched Professor Dumbledore leave. Harry in the empty classroom had heard the conversation between her and Professor Dumbledore and stood up in fear. Till pushed the door open and walked in, smiling at Harry who was a little overwhelmed: "Look, we caught a child wandering at night."
"Sister Teal, I didn't mean it, I just - just -" Harry looked at the Mirror of Erised hesitantly, hesitant to tell Teal about the magic of the mirror, but he was worried that if If the professors knew about this mirror, would it be moved away after dawn, to a place where he could never find it again.
Teal touched Harry's head: "Do you know the name of this mirror?"
Harry shook his head honestly. Every time he came, he only noticed his parents in the mirror. He had no time to pay attention to the name of the mirror, and he didn't even observe the entire appearance of the mirror.
"Mirror of Erised, 'I show not your face but your desires.'" Teal read the inscription again, and when she asked Harry to see her expression clearly, she had already become serious, "Harry , I have actually been observing you for many days."
Harry's face turned red and he subconsciously defended himself: "Sister Till, I really only came out tonight. I stayed in the dormitory obediently for the past few days! I..."
Tyr smiled reassuringly: "I know that the temptation of the Mirror of Erised is too great for you. Can you tell me what you saw in it? I want to know everything."
"I saw a lot of people! More than ten!" Harry looked very excited when he said this, ignoring that Till was right next to him, looking at his relatives in the mirror with obsession and sorrow, "I saw it. Mom, dad, grandparents, and mom’s family—”
"I think your aunt's family must not be in there." Till made a little joke, and Harry bit the corner of his mouth and nodded silently.
He had to admit that there were only relatives he longed to see in the mirror. His aunt's family, who had not been good to him since childhood, would not appear in the mirror.
Little Harry thought of the inscription that Till had just read, and knew that what he saw in the mirror was actually his own desire, but he couldn't help himself from looking at his relatives in the mirror: "Apart from mom and dad, I actually don't Make sure if other people look like that, they have the same eyes as me, the same hair as me, and look at me the same way Sirius looks at me."
"If my parents were still alive, and if there was no Voldemort, would it be..." Harry's nose was sore, and Tier held him in his arms distressedly, "Could I really have these family members who love me?"
As Harry grew up, he rarely shed tears in front of Teal, because he knew that Teal's sister wanted to see him happy. But today, he really couldn't help it. He grabbed Tier's clothes and cried quietly but couldn't stop crying: "I also want to have parents and relatives, and everyone will live with me and grow up with me. "
"But I only have you now. If you leave me, I will have nothing." Harry hugged Teal's neck tightly in fear, and all the fear in his heart was released at this moment like water from a floodgate.
He had been afraid for the past few years, if his sister Teal suddenly disappeared without a trace, if the Emorys suddenly stopped liking him, if Sirius didn't show up, if... there were so many what-ifs that he was afraid of.
Till's eyes also turned red, and he assured Harry softly: "Don't worry Harry, I promise you, we will always be with you, we are your family."
"Your parents have unfortunately left, but their hearts will always be with you." Teal patted Harry on the back, "You have me, Sirius, and many classmates and professors. You have lost You have a few things, but you also have a lot of things.”
Under Teal's patient comfort, Harry slowly calmed down. He was held in Teal's arms, and when he looked at the Mirror of Erised again, he felt a little more clear-headed and reluctant.
Teal noticed the change in Harry's treatment of the Mirror of Erised, pursed his lips, and patiently watched Harry make his own decision.
Although the Mirror of Erised will definitely not stay here for a long time, allowing Harry to sink into it and slowly resist reality, but the mirror is forced to be removed, and Harry himself wants to understand, Teal prefers the latter.
I don't know how long it took, but Harry buried his head on Tier's shoulder again, his voice a little muffled through his clothes: "Sister Tier, let's go, I won't come back again."
"Good boy, I'll accompany you back to the common room." Teal held Harry's hand and slowly left the empty classroom.
The moment he walked out, Till could feel Harry's urge to turn back, but he paused and chose to look ahead and follow Till away.
Teal was very satisfied with Harry like this.
It is not surprising for such a young child to indulge in a fantasy that makes him sink for a while, and it is good to be able to wake up quickly after being prompted.
Harry would grow up slowly, she believed.
