The Wedding March (Five)
Harry was quite satisfied with his current height.
But he regretfully found that he could not hide quietly behind people without being discovered — without being discovered by his godfather.
Sirius greeted the guests and squeezed his way over.
But his eyes reminded Harry not to move from time to time.
I've got you. Harry had to stay where he was, waiting for Sirius to come to him.
A heavy arm rested on his shoulder, and Sirius laughed, "You boy — still want to run? You really think I don't know how to block people in Spidertail Alley? "
Harry could only smile awkwardly, "I don't want to run … I just want to walk around."
Sirius hooked his godfather's neck and led him to the middle of the dance floor,
And said cheerfully, "So Harry wants to move around! It's good, it's good.
I think that girl is good. She's from Gryffindor.
Hey, you don't have a partner yet? "Seeing Harry struggle in panic, he said no and turned in another direction.
"What about this boy?
He's smart and neat.
Look, he's smiling at you! "
He's smiling at me because he's Cedric.
Godfather, you have such good eyesight. Can't you see that Qiu Zhang is smiling at me?
Harry took Sirius away from trouble.
They hadn't seen each other for many days.
It was better to lean against the bar and drink and talk. To prevent Sirius from thinking too much, Harry took the lead and solemnly conveyed Tonks's instructions. "Tonks has a child now.
You have to take care of the family.
In the future, you can't handle the work of both of you alone like now. "So, you'd better worry more about the Blakes' business.
Sirius was surprised to hear the good news.
Naturally, he was happy for Lupin. "This old man … is not bad at all!" When he and Tonks got married, no one said anything.
However, they were secretly worried that the werewolf bloodline in Lupin's body would affect his offspring.
Although Snape had already improved the Wolfsbane Serum, what if it worked?
Harry was also happy. "I just gave Tonks a checkup. The child is developing very well. He'll be a healthy child."
Sirius drank a glass of wine and asked excitedly, "Have you thought of a name?"
"Teddy. Let's call him Teddy Remus Lupin." This was something they had agreed upon long ago.
"What's Little Potter's name?"
"His name is James …" Harry blurted out before he saw the sly smile in Sirius's eyes. He could not help but hold his forehead and wail, "Where did this little Potter come from?"
"There has to be a little Potter, right? Are they all little Snape? "Sirius looked dissatisfied.
"There's no such thing …" Harry had never felt that he was so eloquent in his life. "Which one of us looks like we can have children?"
Sirius was still muttering, "I don't believe that old snot hasn't secretly researched a fertility potion …"
Please, don't say anymore! Harry covered his face and poured wine for his godfather, hoping that he would shut up.
"That's enough, Sirius. The professor and I just lived together. Nothing else happened."
Sirius stood under the psychedelic light of the bar with a glass of wine in his hand. He smiled wickedly, obviously not believing this. "Don't think I'm stupid, kid. Just because nothing happened doesn't mean that nothing happened, right?"
Of course not. Harry did not intend to explain the difference, but he was now a little annoyed. He poured himself a glass of wine and said, "But nothing happened. Maybe nothing will happen again in the future."
Sirius felt that something was wrong. He stood up a little, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and asked, "Are you going to dump that snot?"
"… Can you stop calling him by that nickname? If we fight again, I won't help either side."
After returning from the North Sea, Sirius looked and behaved very differently from before. However, as a member of the robbers, he did not forget his "deep-seated hatred" for Snape. Harry had already given up on treating his godfather. He just curled his lips and said, "It's not a matter of who dumped whom, it's a matter of whether or not we can be together."
Although Sirius was sometimes blinded by "hatred", he was still rational when it came to godchildren. Otherwise, he would not have sent his best friend, Lupin, to "urge" Snape to get married. Now that Harry was full of hesitation, Sirius calmly said, "Why are you worried about that? You're now an adult and a graduate. You're no longer the savior who could be chased by paparazzi when you fart. The law on same-sex marriage in the magic world has been enacted very smoothly … Most importantly, even I don't want to break up the two of you. Who else can stop Snape from hurting you?"
Harry was shocked by his godfather's recital skill. He then smiled bitterly and looked around. No one was paying attention to them. The hall was also lively. He whispered, "It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just that we can't cross that line. Please don't look at me like that. I'm not talking about the line in bed."
Ignoring Sirius's question, Harry put his hand on his forehead and continued, "When the world was rebooted … I changed a lot of things that happened. Grimm Town, the war, the dead companions, I almost rewrote the whole world …"
"So now everyone doesn't remember the savior. Very good." The world after the rebooted was very good. It was as if Merlin was wearing his laced underwear and everything was fine.
"I did save a lot of people. Those who died …" The Battle of the Hogwarts did not happen, and World War III did not happen. Very good. "But I didn't resurrect Lily and James."
Sirius's hand trembled as if he was burned by the cigarette.
And Harry gradually felt that he could say something that had been stuck in his throat. "I was there, the night of Godric's Valley. I was there to see Voldemort break into the old house. First James, then Lily … She could have survived because Severus begged the Dark Lord, but she took the initiative to stand in front of my cradle. The curse took effect. I became the savior, I became the boy who survived."
The boy who survived smiled bitterly. "But I was there. If I wanted, they could have all survived. The Potter family could have survived … but I didn't do that, because the starting point of Harry Potter's story was the death of Lily and James. To change this point of no return, to change my own origin, everything that happened after that would be unpredictable. Maybe the Potter family could have survived, but what about the others? If the whole Harry Potter story was erased, would there be a Neville Longbottom story? Or did the whole story of the magic world disappear? I don't know, so I just stood there and watched them fall, and then left the glory of saving the world to me. "
Sirius's voice was hoarse. "… That's not your fault."
"I know it was just a choice, a necessary choice, but it was still wrong." Harry rubbed his forehead and said in a muffled voice, "I still became the murderer of Mom and Dad."
"You can't think like that, Harry." Sirius was unusually serious. "I've known James and Lily for many years. They were both practitioners of heroism. They were heroes who would choose to sacrifice themselves to save others — and they did. You're their child. You sacrificed your family to save the world. Even if the whole world has forgotten, you shouldn't forget this. Is the slug blaming you? "
"Of course not … but he knows about it."
"And you mind that he knows about it. Is it because you feel guilty or embarrassed?"
"Both." He felt guilty because Lily was Snape's best friend. He was embarrassed because he did not want to be the decision-maker in the electric rail problem.
Sirius put out the cigarette in the glass, pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed. "Silly boy, you don't want to talk to Snape about it, but you're willing to talk to me. Don't forget, James and Lily are also my best friends. But you can talk about it in front of me without feeling guilty or embarrassed?"
Harry was stunned and speechless.
"Is it because Sirius Black is a more generous and understanding elder?" Sirius laughed self-deprecatingly. "Or is it because Snape is an awkward and gloomy old bat, so Harry Potter doesn't dare to talk to him at all?"
It was not like that. Of course, it was not like that. It was just that the night in Godric Valley was the most obscure time in each other's lives. No one was willing to talk about betrayal, death, and killing, and they were cautious to avoid each other's darkest feelings.
So it was like a fishbone stuck in one's throat, like a pea under eighteen layers of cotton quilt.
Sirius looked at his godson's pale face and felt sorry for him. He reached out and touched Harry's head, making his hair look more like James Potter. He chuckled and said, "You've been with Snape for too long. You've forgotten the style of the Potter family." The Potter family was used to straight balls. "Just one sentence. If you can still stand him, and still want to continue, go back and talk things out. If you feel that you can't, the house in Grimmauld Square is more spacious than Spider Tail Alley —!"
"But a dog house is different from a human house." A gloomy voice floated over their heads, making the father and son shudder at the same time. They turned around and saw Snape in his eternal black robe standing in front of them.
Harry did not know how much Snape had heard, so he could only force a smile. Sirius was angry. "Who are you calling a dog?"
"The one with lice on his body is."
"You don't wash your hair, and you still have the nerve to talk about me?!"
