The happiness of HP

On Friday, Harry gave 10 more Slytherins permission to leave school for the weekend.By this point, all the Slytherins would be away this weekend for the birthday party of the Headmaster and Headmaster's youngest daughter.Although these students often saw the two little girls, many students even often made the two children happy.However, this does not prevent them from looking forward to the birthday party of these two little girls, because this is a rare opportunity to take time off from Hogwarts to reunite with their families.

Not only Slytherin, but many students in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were asked to ask for leave by their families. The least number of students who asked for leave were Gryffindors.However, this does not prevent the students from talking and guessing about the birthday party of the headmaster and Professor Asaprite's pair of young girls.As a result, some bad rumors spread, which made Harry have to take it seriously.

In the afternoon, Harry deliberately gave up the afternoon tea in the teachers’ common room where he exchanged ideas and feelings with his colleagues, and made the favorite snacks of Apollo and Artemis himself. Chat and talk.

"Dad, you don't have to go around in circles with the two of us." After the third cup of tea, Apollo finally couldn't bear it anymore. He had thought before that his father would probably ask him to chat with Artemis.But it's been half an hour since he came in, and seeing that his father still didn't get to the question he expected, he couldn't help but ask it directly.

"Going in circles? Apu, do you think I must have a topic? Isn't what we talked about just now an important topic?" Harry was a little puzzled by his son's words.

Apollo was a little surprised. Could it be that Dad was just bored and called him and Artemis to have afternoon tea?But thinking about the few topics Dad just said, most of them are related to learning, probably because of OWLs... Apollo thought, Dad must be worried.

Indeed, Harry was a little worried that the children would have a psychological burden and perform abnormally in the exam, but he was more worried about the recent gossip at Hogwarts, which would make the two children feel bad about Adina, Asteria, and others. Even Ares felt suspicious.He brought the two children over for afternoon tea and chatted about study and life, just hoping that the children could understand that they were not the parents they had been rumored to be.

"I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, so I'm a little worried about you. Sif has never been very careful, so A Rui, A Di and A Si probably need you to pay attention to it often. If there is something unhappy in your studies or life, just bring it up , Sev and I can make adjustments after we know about it." For the eldest son and eldest daughter, Harry put them more on an equal footing.

"Well, Dad, there's nothing wrong with it, but you, you have to take good care of yourself outside." Artemis expressed surprise at her brother's impatience, but, as a girl, she followed her father's train of thought thoughtfully. stand up.

"Al is really a little padded jacket, not like a brat who actually suspects that Dad is going around in circles. Well, Apu, tell me, do you think Dad needs to go around with you because he wants to talk about something?" Harry put a piece of puff Put it on Artemis's small plate, and smiled at the girl.

"Uh, I thought..." Apollo wondered, did he care too much about those gossips?However, Apollo didn't care about those contents. He knew too well the status of himself and Artemis in the hearts of his father and his father. What he was more worried about was that his father would take the rumors as truth and be sad about it.

"My brother is worried that my father will be sad these days." Artemis said with a hint of teasing in her tone. She rarely called Apollo, who was a few hours older than her, "brother", but this did not prevent the relationship between the two of them. brother-sister relationship.

Harry smiled, seeing the eldest son glaring at his younger sister with a bit of embarrassment because of what he said, while his little Al padded jacket stared back without showing any sign of weakness. .This scene brought back Harry's memories of the two of them when they were young. He smiled and said, "Hey, you two, without such clothes, you can't speak clearly."

"Uh, haven't there been some rumors recently?" Apollo confessed voluntarily.

Harry nodded, pretending to be surprised and said: "So... my little Apu is serious? So, Sev really made a promise—is your brain filled with some well-known and unknown residue?"

"Oh, no, Dad, it's Apu himself, not including me." Artemis pulled himself out anxiously.

"Okay, Al, Dad apologizes." Harry apologized to the eldest daughter, reached out and touched the girl's head, and refilled her a cup of milk tea. After comforting the girl, he turned his eyes and looked at his son, "So, Ah Pu, are you going to make Dad think that your IQ needs some medicine to improve?"

"No, Dad, I'm just worried that you will be sad because of this. I haven't found a suitable opportunity to confide in these few days. I didn't think about it like those rumors, even if you prefer Ari, Adi and Asi. It's normal, because they are so small and cute, not to mention you and father, even Al and I like them very much." Apollo was eager to express himself.

Harry saw that his son, who had become more and more stable in recent years, was rarely in such a hurry. He couldn't help laughing, heaved a sigh of relief, and teased: "It's been a long time since I saw Apu so anxious. He's still as cute as when he was a child."

Seeing his father's reaction, Apollo froze for a moment, unable to react.

Harry also accepted it as soon as he saw it, and quickly changed a more serious expression, reached out and patted his son's shoulder, and said, "I have received Apu's concern, thank you. However, these rumors really can't let me Moved, you and Al were raised by me, children I was determined to protect with my own life. So, I believe in you. In addition, I have to say the same, even if those rumors are true, I don’t think so. What you get on your own is not as good as what your family gives you. Your father and I are the best examples. Now it is not me and him who need Potter and Slytherin, but they need me and him to revive. It has to be said that sometimes a person's talent is often dimmed because of his family."

Apollo and Artemis listened carefully to what their father said. It had been a long time since they had such a heart-to-heart talk with their father.In the past few years, my father needed to recuperate because of the birth of his younger siblings, and he was very busy when he did not need to recuperate, and the two of them were also busy with their studies, communicating with their father, and dealing with their relationships with their classmates.Therefore, there is very little time for heart-to-heart talks with Dad like when they were young. Even if the two of them spend some time alone with Dad every week, considering Dad's physical relationship, they don't take the initiative to talk about some troublesome issues.It often takes Harry to notice it before passively explaining it to him.But they didn't quite understand Dad's last words at the moment.

"Let's not talk about the far ones. You are very familiar with Silver Fox. You should know his personal charm and ability to handle affairs, right?" Harry mentioned his best friend and gave the two children an example.

"Yes, Uncle Silver Fox is great." The two children nodded.

"Of course, his former family was also very prominent. You probably don't know that the Silvo family is the number one family in the Swedish magic world, and has the glory of a "silver family" in the entire European magic world. However, he took the initiative to separate himself from the family. He didn't want to join the family, but joined the Adventurer's Guild. He actually didn't like such a wandering life. I once asked him why he left the family that could provide him with a comfortable life. The answer he gave me may be able to give A reference for you - he said that the family is a good show or show for those mediocre people or people with great ambitions, but, again, outsiders can't see the value of those people, even if this person No matter how outstanding you are, what you get is nothing more than a compliment similar to "You are indeed from the Silver family, a member of the Silver family", and no one will remember who you are." Harry looked at Apollo and Artemis , They seemed to feel something, "Look at Terry Prince in your same grade. When his father didn't inherit Prince, he was still very good at Beauxbatons. At least he can often He was praised by the professor. However, now more than once, I have seen nobles often use him as a negative example to educate those young children. Can you tell me why?"

"He is excellent, but he is not enough." Artemis said tentatively.

Harry nodded, without commenting immediately, he looked at Apollo.Waiting for his son's answer.

"What Al said is one aspect, but I think the bigger reason is that people have already set a high standard for the Prince family, so what they see is Young Master Prince, not Terry Prince himself. In this situation, people are used to seeing a person who fits Prince's values, not someone who lacks the required qualities. Even if he is better in other respects, others It's also hard to see. Dad, do you think I'm right?" Apollo said, and he suddenly understood what his father was thinking.

"Yes, do you understand now? Whether the family is prominent or not is like a double-edged sword to a person in the family. Of course, your own choice is the most important." Harry said, as for more More, he believed that Apollo and Artemis would realize it, "Well, now, since you mentioned it, let me also talk about my feelings about this rumor. , Asi's birthday, would you express jealousy? Even have the urge to kill them? I am deeply skeptical about this. You must know that the two children's medicines were completely prepared by the two of you. took care of them. They said that my father and I were giving our two young daughters a birthday party to favor them, and even intentionally let them inherit Slytherin over you. To which, I can say that they really think you are so Frustration—tell me, Apu and Al, do you need to be recognized by inheritance? As for holding a birthday party, it probably won’t be those two babies who don’t understand anything. Well, as for yours, Apu Worrying really touched me. But don't worry, I'm not that fragile." Harry smiled and added a piece of Black Forest cake to Apu.

"I have lived in all kinds of rumors since I was a child. I am used to seeing those rumors as entertainment. However, because it involves you, Sev and I investigated secretly and had to Said the source surprised me and Sif." Harry gave a meaningful smile.

"Dad?" Seeing Harry's smile, Apollo immediately thought of something.

"However, it's reasonable. Sev and I think it's better for you to deal with it yourself." A piece of parchment that was torn off by Harry appeared in Harry's hand, and he threw it to the children.

"I wanted you to find the source by yourself today. However, since you said that I was going around in circles, I will give it to you directly. However, there will be no next time. If this kind of problem occurs next time, I hope you can find the problem After the root cause is even resolved, I will be more comfortable to care about my mood." Harry said, seeing that the two children were not surprised by the contents of the parchment, but also smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, your father is looking for me. If you have nothing more to say, can you give me to him?" Harry got up, "You can ask someone to accompany you to settle these refreshments."

Apollo and Artemis also smiled relaxedly and comfortably, "giving up" their father to their father.After Harry left, the two took another look at the parchment, waved their wands, and beckoned their mates.

Not long after, Jacobson and Varin brought Remus here.

"Apu, Sister Al, how are you? What did the instructor say?" the elf asked immediately.

"Father didn't worry about it at all. It's just Apu who thinks too much, which made me worry about him for so long." Artemis said, "But, Apu, how to deal with this?"

"What is this?" Remus took the parchment out of curiosity, and got together with the other two. Seeing the name on it, they all had a clear face, "Brother checked it?"

"Yeah." Apollo nodded slightly.

"What are you going to do?" Varin sat down beside Artemis.

"It's nothing to do. Our homework is quite heavy recently. Don't come into contact with others casually." Artemis stuffed a cookie into Varin's mouth.

"Okay. As ordered, my highness the princess." Varin knew Artemis' subtext as soon as she rolled her eyes.

Remus also smiled, and began to enjoy the afternoon tea made by Harry with these family members.Here they can talk about various topics without taboo, and their young thoughts collide with brilliant sparks.And where they couldn't see, there were two pairs of eyes looking at the scene in the crystal ball with relief.

"Okay, don't look. It's with me now, concentrate." Severus waved his hand and turned off the display function of the crystal ball.

"Sev, do you think Apple's answer met your expectations?" Harry asked.

"For me, they are too dazzling, and I am a bit reluctant. The children you brought into this world for me are extremely dazzling treasures." Severus sighed.

-Harry, My-Love, how can I have you, have all this?

- You are Severus, the only Severus in the world.
