Before arriving at Lovegood's house, Harry had imagined many scenarios.
For example, Kami was troubled by the child-like Voldemort, and little Tommy was tormented by Kami to the point that he wished he was dead.
But he never expected to see Kamia and Tommy standing together as punishment.
Oh,
Because little Tommy couldn't stand yet,
So he was wrapped in swaddling clothes and leaning against the crib, and the mother was standing by the crib facing the wall.
Both of them seemed to be fuming.
Harry stood at the door and watched for a while.
He rubbed his eyes again and pinched his arm. After hearing Ginny's scream, he dared to confirm that this scene was not his illusion.
"Did I walk into the wrong set?" Harry looked at Luna, who was sitting next to him, in surprise.
He asked.
Luna first greeted Ginny lightly.
Then she reached out to catch Ginny, who pounced on her, and replied slowly, "Tommy spat at Kamia.
Kamia ate cake in front of Tommy. "
It turned out that in the week when Harry was absent-minded,
Lovegood's house had been putting on one good show after another.
First, little Tommy refused to be breastfed.
He only accepted brewed milk powder. Then, Kamia specially made a bunch of small clothes to dress little Tommy up beautifully. Tommy, who couldn't speak, was suffering at first. Later, when he saw that Kamia couldn't really throw him away, he began to resist the oppression.
Yes, Tommy couldn't beat Kamia, but Kamia couldn't mistreat her openly, so —
Xenophilius: "Kamia, today I made your favorite mushroom soup …"
Tommy: Pfft ~ Pfft ~
Kamia looked at Tommy's innocent little face and calmly put down the spoon.
Xenophilius: "Kamia, I think Tommy seems to have grown up a little. Do you want to hug him?"
Kamia looked at little Tommy with disdain and reached out to take it.
Tommy: Mysterious smile
Kamia looked at the wet and warm arm and her face darkened.
Of course, Kamia wasn't a kind person. She first observed her little daughter for two days and found that little Tommy, who could only nibble on pacifiers, seemed to be particularly interested in the food on the table. So, on this day, Kamia specially carried little Tommy to the front and set up a small table in front of the two of them. Then, she put pudding, cake, and mashed potatoes on it. Then, she smiled at little Tommy and said, "Tommy ~ Come and eat snacks with Mama ~"
Little Tommy watched helplessly as the hateful woman ate the food on the small table in front of her. She tried her best not to scream in anger because it would sound like she was crying out of anger. She just looked at her biological mother angrily. Then, when Kamia came over to laugh at her, she spat at Kamia's face.
Luna, who watched the whole process, said that this was the most boring mother and daughter pair she had ever seen. Xenophilius heard the news and came over to see his little daughter crying loudly and Kamia in a bad mood. These days, he was the one who suffered the most when Kamia and Tommy fought.
But no matter what, he couldn't let Kamia continue to bully Tommy, and he couldn't let Tommy play pranks on her mother anymore. Xenophilius, who rarely toughened up, decided to punish both of them with 30 strokes of the paddle. Both of them had to stand as punishment. So, there was the scene that Harry saw when he entered the door.
But this punishment lasted only until Harry and Ginny came to visit. According to Luna's timer, it lasted for nine minutes and thirty-six seconds.
The snacks were served again. Lovegood's family and the two little visitors watched little Tommy drink milk together.
Kamia pinched little Tommy in Xenophilius's arms and curled her lips. "Only you think this guy is good. He pees on you."
Xenophilius smiled foolishly, thinking that his little wife and little daughter were very cute. Tommy, who was being fed by him, was silently biting his pacifier. He thought to himself, This old Lovegood seemed to be close to the Phoenix Society. He's not a good person. What's wrong with peeing on him?
Kamia didn't dare to go too far in front of her husband. She pinched Tommy twice and changed the topic. "Ginny is here. Luna, take out the clothes we made for Tommy. Let's take a look at the style."
Kamia was going to piss off Tommy again. Luna thought silently. She happily carried down a pile of small clothes from upstairs and let Kamia show them to Harry and the others.
"Look, this Kumamon costume is so cute. I spent a lot of effort sewing the bear ears. Tommy can wear it in winter. For summer … hmm, this little wave suit is suitable …" Kamia pulled Ginny to show her the exquisite and cute clothes. She looked like a kind mother. Didn't you see Mr. Lovegood's gratified face?
Luna also took a unicorn costume and handed it to Tommy. She said seriously, "Tommy, I made this for you. But it's a little big."
Kamia ruffled Luna's hair and smiled. "It's okay. Babies grow very quickly."
However, in the midst of the joyous atmosphere, Harry only felt that the Lolita toys in front of him stung his eyes. He covered half of his face and glanced at Tommy. He felt that the former Dark Lord's eyes were already empty.
After admiring Tommy's wardrobe, Ginny finally remembered the purpose of her trip. She hurriedly took out the notebook from her backpack and said to Kamia, "Mrs. Lovegood, about the matter you told me last time …"
"About 'Singing Different'?" Kamia still remembered. She seemed to be very interested. "You brought it here? Ah, is this it? " Kamia took the notebook from Ginny's hands. She didn't open it immediately. Instead, she blinked and said, "Why don't we talk upstairs?"
"Eh? Can we? " Ginny was excited. But she quickly reacted. Lovegood's house should be very busy now. It wasn't a good time to disturb Kamia.
"Yes! Of course! " Kamia immediately decided. "Xie Nuo, let me have Tommy. Don't you still have to do the typesetting? I'll bring Tommy and a few other children upstairs to talk. "
The room they were going to talk in was Luna's bedroom. It looked like a loft. There was a huge window facing the Otter River. One could imagine the dim yellow light filling the room at dusk. Jenny was a frequent visitor of Lovegood's house, so she was quite familiar with the place. Harry, on the other hand, was surprised by the large, fluffy carpet in Luna's room, and the vines that covered the walls, as well as the low round bed … …
Harry took off his shoes and walked to Luna's bookshelf. There were many books about mysterious animals and magical creatures on the shelf, but they didn't attract Harry's attention. What caught his attention was the pictures on the wall next to the bookshelf. One was a picture of a three-year-old Luna and a teenage Kamia in front of Lovegood's house. Another was a picture of a twenty-year-old Kamia and a giggling Xenophilius. It was about the time of their wedding. The third picture was of Kamia and Xenophilius holding hands with a seven-year-old Luna. The fourth picture... Harry smiled. He saw two girls with their arms around each other's shoulders. It was Luna and Ginny. They were comparing hearts to hearts under the setting sun. The background was as red as the fire of the Otter River. Under these pictures, there was a new picture of a sleeping baby. In the picture, there was also a hand that was about to poke the baby awake, but it was pulled back by another man's hand.
Harry looked at the pictures quietly. There was a fine gold chain around the pictures that connected them together. Harry knew that it was actually a word written in gold ink thousands of times: Love good... Love good... Love good...
Love
and
Good, Harry thought. What a good surname.
"Hey, Harry, do you want some candy?" Kamia had already led the girls to sit down on the carpet. Luna pulled out a small box from under the desk. It was full of all kinds of delicious candies that she had kept for guests during the bedroom meeting. Ginny picked a lemon-flavored cotton candy without hesitation. Then she called Harry.
Harry looked back and quickly ran over to sit down next to everyone. "I want the mint-flavored one!"
Little Tommy, who couldn't eat candy, was held in Kamia's arms. She looked at Harry Potter angrily — she couldn't turn her head.
Kamia held the candy in her mouth and returned the notebook to Ginny. Ginny looked at her in surprise and smiled. "Ginny, read me your story. I like to listen to stories."
"Read... a story?" Ginny held the notebook and was a little confused.
Kamia nodded very naturally. "Read it. Let me feel your most real and subtle feelings."
"Okay..." Ginny swallowed the cotton candy, opened the notebook, and took a deep breath. Then she glanced around and said calmly, "There is a river in my life, a river of fire. Before I realized his existence, he was always there..."
Except for the nervousness at the beginning, Ginny's recitation was perfect. Although there were a few wrong words, although there were pauses in between, and although the girl's voice wasn't as beautiful as a nightingale's, Ginny's recitation was perfect. Her childish and absurd words were sent into Harry's head by her innocent and fearless voice, and they successfully left a river of fire there, burning Harry's heart and making him panic.
After reading the last word, Ginny breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to take another cotton candy, she saw that Harry was sweating. She couldn't help but be surprised. "Am I that bad?"
"Ah? No, no... "Harry hurriedly wiped the sweat." You read it very well! Beautiful voice and emotion! Vivid and lifelike! " Seeing that his mouth was about to run, Harry chose to go to the bathroom. "I'm going to the bathroom first!"
Harry put on his shoes and rushed out of Luna's bedroom. He found that he didn't know where Lovegood's bathroom was, so he had to go downstairs and call for Mr. Lovegood. He remembered that Mr. Lovegood's studio was on the second floor. But perhaps because Mr. Xenophilius was too engrossed in his work, he didn't seem to hear Harry's voice. The layout of Lovegood's house was like a maze, so Harry didn't want to run around in someone else's house. He turned to go upstairs and ask Luna, but as soon as he turned around, he was startled by Xenophilius standing behind him.
"Mr... Lovegood?"
"Harry Potter." Xenophilius seemed to lower his head to identify the person in front of him before he softly called out Harry's name.
Harry hurriedly said, "Sorry, Mr. Lovegood, I'm looking for the bathroom..."
"Bathroom... Ah, bathroom?" Xenophilius casually pointed behind him. "The bathroom is over there."
Harry looked at the man in front of him and found that in the dim light, Xenophilius Lovegood looked a little strange. It wasn't that his taste in clothes and behavior were normal, but at this moment, the man standing in front of Harry, with his messy white hair, dazed expression, and unconsciously rubbing his fingers, reminded Harry of a gloomy afternoon.
That day, the man told him a story about the Deathly Hallows and then betrayed him and his companions.
Harry glanced at Xenophilius's neck. There was no chain hanging there.
