[HP] Daddy's Little Prince

Chapter 2 The Inflection Point of History

When Claire returned to the room, her face was apologetic and disgusted, but she smiled as soon as she saw Harry, and even brought him warm milk: "It's not enough to eat oatmeal, Harry." , you have to drink this and sleep well, yes, I hope you will listen to me."

"Yes, Claire, I will do it." Harry smiled and took the milk, he has always yearned for such a life, "Do you live alone?"

"Oh, yes, my daughter and her husband went to far away China, it's so far away, I can't go that far... I like this place, this is where my husband, Old Baker, I have to guard it , but I'm glad to meet you, dear, and you don't mind an old woman's babbling, do you?"

"No, I don't mind, I mean... I'd love to talk to you, Claire."

"Yes, child, I am also very glad that you can chat with me for a while, you must know that my daughter went to China two years ago, and then I am very lonely, hehe," Claire sat on the edge of the bed and touched The head of the big black dog, "I just called your aunt, she screamed at me, oh, I don't like her, well, boy, do you have a place to go?"

"I...I don't know, I'm supposed to go back to school when school starts...but I broke the school rules..." Harry scratched his hair angrily, "They'll expel me... oh!"

"Child, if you want to open it up, it may not be possible," Claire rubbed his head. "You may not be expelled. Hey, you look really honest. What made you violate the school rules? Got into a fight?"

"No, it's not." Harry realized instantly that he shouldn't be saying this to Muggles, but he couldn't help but want to confide in others, "I shouldn't be talking to them outside... er... at my aunt's house." ...disrespectful..."

"Ha! This is really a terrible rule!" The old lady twitched her lips, "They must be using this to lie to you, child, don't trust them!" She touched her cheek, looking a little coy, "You know, I When I was young, they always said that if I left missionary school to talk to boys, I would be punished, God would let me lose everything, but I got everything - most importantly, I got mine Old Baker."

Harry laughed at her words.

Yes, maybe waking up to nothing... He could go back to Hogwarts to continue his studies and settle with that Voldemort who was always bugging him!

Of course, he hoped that his Potions class would disappear as soon as possible.

Tomorrow is another day.

It was the best night's sleep Harry could remember, and he had a bedtime story, a warm hug, and even a goodnight kiss, something he'd been hoping for and never got, even at The Burrow. , he will also have Molly's goodnight kisses and hugs, but the bedtime stories and the gentle warmth of his palms are indeed enough for him to recall for a lifetime-yes, Ron's house is indeed too noisy, which actually makes him uncomfortable , but very eagerly.

Early the next morning, Claire made Harry delicious bacon and bread again, and specially warmed milk for him - something good for the boy's height, said Claire, and stared at him She drank it, and of course she prepared a delicious meal for the big black dog who was depending on Harry - good enough for a stray dog.

"I don't believe the dog food in those advertisements, hehe, you know, I used to have a big dog, but he-yes, my old man Jess, a good dog, very handsome, is Eating dog food, I don’t have any energy at all!” Claire put the meal mixed with broth and potatoes in front of the big black dog, “This can make him strong——right, boy, what’s your name? Oh , Harry, what are you going to call him?"

"Him?" Harry realized he was referring to the black dog. "I'll... um... call him 'Black', the black one."

"I have to say, kid, this name suits him really well, it's great!" Old Claire smiled with flowers blooming on her face, "By the way, if you are free, help me trim the garden. You provide board and lodging, how about it? Anyway, your relatives know that you live with me, and they will treat you as a part-time job during the summer vacation—you must know that I am already over 70, and my legs and feet are not so flexible. "

This is indeed a good idea, but...Harry doesn't want to trouble people like this, and he is obviously taking advantage of Claire!What's more... He gritted his teeth and smiled: "Oh, Claire, I mean... this idea is great, but... I can't... it's too much trouble for you... and... I should pay for room and board It's expensive... yes, my parents left me some money..."

"Boy!" the old lady stopped him, "Your parents' money is for you to have a better career and life in the future, and you don't eat mine for nothing, right? You need to help me mow the lawn and the children There is a lot of work in the garden and in my house that needs help or I would have asked the neighbor's kids to take care of it - you see if I have to go out I need a wheelchair and you have to push me around , and, I still need someone to help me organize some documents, yes, I am still writing a manuscript for the newspaper, you have to help me organize these, so I asked you to be my personal assistant, how about it? I It won't pay you pounds."

Harry felt like crying, but he still smiled: "Yes, Claire, I accept your suggestion, and I will work hard."

"That's right, boy." Claire smiled, "When I see you, I think of Alice—my granddaughter, she looks exactly like you, with black hair—it's just like her Chinese father , Hehe, green eyes, this is my genetic self." She took a sip of black tea, "Help me sort out the manuscripts and arrange them in order, and then we will go to the newspaper office. If you want to go out, you can do it after three o'clock every day. Tell me, you know? It’s not peaceful out there now—I heard that a villain named Blake has escaped from prison—it’s scary!” She thought for a while, and then took out a business card, “Take this, if you Call if you can't find it."

"Okay." Harry's eyes were completely moist, he had never felt this before, this old lady——Claire Luce, unexpectedly gave him a feeling that he had never felt before, belonging to...belonging to his grandmother, Or... mother?Either way...he likes her!

If Dumbledore told him that Muggles are weak, and Arthur told him that Muggles are funny, and everyone told him that Muggles should be protected, he really thought it was ridiculous, but in order to get their attention, he still had to believe it. Fighting that Voldemort to the end - in fact, most of the time he kept fighting with that guy because of hatred, and he lost his home and parents because of that terrorist, didn't he?Leshi now...he thinks they are right, and very right!He liked Muggles - he just couldn't like the Dursleys!

In the afternoon, he followed Claire to the newspaper office. Harry got in touch with many things that he hadn’t seen before—such as a computer. like!A girl from the newspaper office also taught him to play a game called "Super Mario". Of course, this is much harder than waving a magic wand.

"Hey! There are still children who don't know how to play video games! Did you come down from the mountain?" The editor-in-chief of the newspaper looked at Harry's clumsy clicking on the keyboard, and almost twitched with joy, "Clear, where did you find such a baby?"

"Smith, if you talk like that again, I'll poke your mouth with a ballpoint pen!" Old Claire didn't show any weakness at all, she protected Harry just like her own grandson, "Dear Harry, don't mind, old Smith is just a nasty guy."

Harry smiled and nodded. He almost burst out all the luck he had accumulated over the past ten years in the past few days—this is the life he longed for, a warm home, a considerate family, close friends, and a kind family. Elders... and some bad guys who made good-natured jokes about him.

Time passed quickly, after half a month at Claire's house, Harry finally received the Hogwarts book purchase order, and apparently, this proved that he was not expelled - along with the book purchase order, there was also a pink letter The dirty letter was written to him by Dumbledore.

The big dog Blake seemed to be very interested in the letter, and he also leaned over to read it together. This scene made Claire laugh. She patted the heads of the two boys and sat aside to knit a long scarf.

"I'm glad you didn't run around, Harry, you know it's really not safe now." Dumbledore's words were not so elegant, but revealed a deep worry, which made Harry feel a little guilty reading this , "As for you blowing up Aunt Maggie, you can rest assured that we understand the specific situation, so we won't fire you, but remember there will be no next time, you know? Oh, those poor Muggles are just afraid Unknown things! Well, let's see how your new semester will be spent-

"I'm sorry to tell you that it is said that the fugitive Black is a dangerous person, but I believe you will not be in danger. Forgive me for not contacting you for half a month, because I have encountered some troubles... er... no Danger is trouble, you can't imagine how much trouble it is! Of course, this trouble is not mine, it is Professor Snape's - what a pity, this trouble seems to have a lot to do with you, anyway, Professor Snape will pick you up in a few days, you have to be honest and not run around.

"Well, well, my Gryffindor boy, you know, although he is not a good man, he is a trustworthy man. I trust him more than I trust myself, because he is the most loyal man in the world. And his loyalty is only given to his own beliefs. I believe that you two have the same beliefs - upholding justice and protecting what you love. Many people live their lives without knowing what their beliefs are, so they become Betrayer, but Professor Snape won't, and neither will you, will you, dear boy? Well, I know I'm rambling again, a man wants to talk more when he's old. But you can stop curling your lips now Kid, trust me, you guys just lack communication.

"But anyway, the lady who took you in, she is really a good person, I hope to visit her when I have time, hehe, what do you think?

"Oh, yes! Your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester is Remus Lupine. He is a good friend of your parents, but he has a little problem, so he has been unable to find a decent job. Wandering around, I'm sorry for that, but I think you'll look forward to your meeting with him. Then you can listen to his explanation - it's not a good question, really, but I think you deserve a copy explain.

"Well, dear Harry, I think Professor Snape will come back to pick you up in a week, and then you can live in his house, oh, he lives in the Muggle world too, huh, maybe you'll like him House - where you can use magic and do your homework.

"Have a nice day—hey, stop twitching your lips!

"Your faithful, Albus Dumbledore"

Oh, how did he know he was curling his lips? !
