[HP] Harry doesn't think it's his fault

26. Vague

Despite knowing Harry's "identity", Lily still often does homework with him, the difference is that now she will ask Harry more for advice, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts.Harry blinked when Lily took a seat next to him today, knowing that his mother had been an irritable person as a teenager (as was he), but this way of gnashing her teeth in annoyance was mostly because of…

"Potter and Black are in confinement again." Lily held back for a few minutes, then lowered her voice to confirm his guess, "Do you know what they did to Bertram Aubrey?"

The name sounds familiar. "Twice his head?"

Lily was taken aback, "How do you know?"

When I was locked up by Professor Snape, I sorted out the cards that recorded their violations of school rules.

"I heard." Harry said vaguely, "Someone passed by my seat just now..."

"That would be great." Lily sighed, and slapped open a book. "This happened only half an hour ago, and bad news spreads far and wide."

"They're famous after all." Harry shrugged.

They wrote their homework in silence for a while, and Harry flipped through the blank textbook, wondering how he would answer the sixth-year potions question without the Half-Blood Prince's advice. Twenty years later, Slughorn could attribute his performance to the fact that he had inherited Lily's talent for potions, and if he still writes like this now, it might make the professor mistakenly think that he copied Snape's homework.He tried to recall Hermione's notes, but Hermione, angry at him for cheating on the prince, didn't show him at all.

"Every time I feel that he has changed, every time I feel that he is better than before..." Lily gritted her teeth suddenly and muttered, "He really is a fool! I knew I shouldn't expect anything..."

Aww, this doesn't seem to be his field of speech.Harry turned to the standard euphoria recipe, to see if the Half-Blood Prince had added anything else besides mint pepper.But his angry mother's presence is too strong, Lily crossed out the wrong sentence with special force, and seemed to poke a hole in the table when writing the period, Harry felt that it was difficult for her homework to make any substantial progress this morning .

"What do you think of him--them?" Lily asked him, a little louder than she would normally use in a library, "You live with them and you have a good relationship, what do you think of them ?”

Harry looked around, he didn't want to let that misunderstanding spread, "If it's from a standpoint, I trust them completely."

"I'm not saying they do black magic!" Lily said sharply, "but he's always playing tricks on people, and this kind of behavior..."

The caretaker coughed loudly nearby, and they quickly shut up. Lily was still upset, so Harry sent her a note, suggesting that they go for a walk by the lake first.It's a bit cold by the lake at the moment, but fortunately there is no wind, the heat preservation spell is enough, and it would be even better to be able to hold the bluebell-colored bottled flame that Hermione is good at conjuring.

"So, you like Potter, even though he often had trouble with you before." Lily pushed her long dark red hair behind her ears, "You also think those are minor problems? It's harmless to the heirs and stars of the Potter family?"

"I wouldn't say that, but maybe he'll change," Harry replied, considering, "He values ​​you, and you know he's working hard to become what you want him to be, but it won't happen overnight .”

"I don't want to 'make' him what he is, that's his own business." Lily turned her head away, she blushed, "I just hope Gryffin loses some points. Whatever he does to get me a date, I wouldn't even date him."

Harry rubbed his face with chilly fingers. He was well aware of where this love story was going, but he also knew that James and Lily were in a delicate stage, and his presence was awkward from any angle.This is also one of the reasons why he chose not to confess. If James felt that he no longer needed to work so hard to change, or Lily's reaction to the "end" standing in front of him was anger and escape, things might be completely different afterwards.Ron and Hermione were enough for him to worry about, let alone his own parents.

"You look uncomfortable," Lily said again.

Harry couldn't explain how he felt like, well, you opened your parents' bedroom door one day to warn them that they were going to be late, only to find that there was...

Lily then asked, "Did you have...other feelings about Potter?"

……

Harry swore he was going to jump into the lake on the spot.

27. "Being" Gay

Startled by his expression, Lily held up both hands.

"I don't mean to offend you!" she said hastily, "but who you are explains why you lie and how you know so much, but not why you try to make yourself so Potter--and You have the same last name as him. So I guess, maybe Potter is special to you and you want to get his attention, and then the day I said I'm going to—uh, kiss you, your reaction ...makes me think you might be gay."

She sounded more and more sorry that Harry knew his face was enough to tell her she was wrong, but he couldn't answer these emerging questions either.

He kind of misses Voldemort.

"I have a girlfriend, although temporarily separated, but that's mainly because I have other tasks." Harry rubbed the scar on his forehead, it wasn't the pain, but he was used to it, "I thought James had told I passed you."

"Why did he tell me this?" Lily pouted, "Does it look like I often chat with him?"

"Well, anyway, I'm not gay," said Harry, "and I can't believe I have to explain to both of you that I would never be with another person."

Lily blushed even more, and Harry couldn't help but regret that they hadn't brought some bread or something, so they could at least distract themselves by feeding the giant squid.

"I'm not very good at dealing with girls, so you really scared me that day." He decided to try to lighten the atmosphere with his embarrassing experience, "You know, the first time I dated a girl was in fifth grade , it was a disaster..."

28. Ask for advice

Lily laughed for at least 3 minutes.

"You, you..." she pointed at Harry, who was torn between embarrassment and the joy of making her laugh, "Gosh... considering you have a girlfriend, I guess you've improved since then."

"I don't think so," said Harry, prompting another burst of laughter. "Ginny isn't that sensitive type of girl. I'm not saying she's not gentle or understanding, she's just more... informal? And she knows What's going on between me, Ron, and Hermione, if I have anything to discuss with Hermione, I don't need to explain too much to her."

"I wouldn't be so sure." Lily shook her head, "It's not easy for a boyfriend to trust another girl more than himself."

"I didn't trust Hermione more!" Harry argued, "I also trust Ginny, but some problems can only be solved by Hermione..."

He paused, realizing that he really didn't know what Ginny thought of his relationship with Hermione.They've only been together for a few weeks, taking every opportunity to enjoy that almost-stolen joy, and there's a lot they don't get a chance to talk about in depth.

"I don't know, but I would probably hope that my boyfriend would at least consider looking for me first." Lily could see that he was starting to worry. "Talk to her and clarify each other's views. It doesn't hurt. If she really Know what you mean to each other as much as you say, and you're one of the luckiest couples that will ever exist."

"Well, I'll try," said Harry, and then smiled, "It's good to hear your suggestion."

"You're welcome," Lily said reservedly, a bit like Hermione would say when they flattered her for helping to correct a paper. "Let's go back to the castle, it's freezing in here."

29. Use Lily as a shield

Harry was really tired.

"Don't tell me you're here to ask me if I'm dating Lily, too."

Sixteen-year-old Severus Snape's expression visibly twisted.

"That mudblood's date has nothing to do with me," he said dryly, and Harry heard a deliberate provocation, "I just want to find out who you are and what you want. Obviously you are not an ordinary student, maybe You think you've got the upper hand this time, but I've proven that you were just playing crazy, and sooner or later I'll catch you."

Harry confronted his future teacher through the transparent barrier, and had another headache.As Snape said, he cast the Iron Armor Charm as soon as he noticed movement behind him, which is definitely not the style of a Muggle-born who has only been in school for a few months.He probably should have disappeared from school, if he was willing to spend time with his parents.

"I also don't believe you have nothing to do with Potter." Snape continued, "You both look and fly alike, and you dropped your broom on purpose."

"So you're investigating me because I look like your sworn enemy, I'm a good flyer, I'm Muggle-born, or I'm close to Lily?" Harry asked. Threats, I never get in touch with Slytherin—except when you are asking for trouble, even if I try, it is only against James and them. If you are worried that I will hurt Lily or date her, I will die for the former No, the latter, you will never worry about me."

"It has nothing to do with her!" Snape roared. "I have nothing to do with her."

Then you won't be so angry.Harry sighed, it was getting harder and harder to keep his resolve.

"Don't bother me, I'm leaving soon," he said, lifting the Iron Armor Charm, "try to hang me one more time or do something else before that, and you don't seem to care that Lily will Wouldn't be unhappy about that."

30. Again, use Lily as a shield

Harry wasn't too worried about Snape sneaking up on him from behind, he'd proven he wasn't easy to mess with, but he probably wouldn't have a chance to know for sure.

Snape turned around suddenly, and then James and Snape's spells collided and bounced off, making a series of movements on the walls and armor in the corridor.There was no need to ask Harry to know that James and the others saw Snape blocking him alone in the hallway on the Marauder's Map, and ran to help. They often did this for Muggle-borns.

"You will be deducted points!" Harry shouted hastily, but was ignored by both parties.

"What are you trying to do to Harry, Snivel?" James demanded, and Snape sneered.

"It's just that I'm not as stupid as you, Potter."

"He asked me a few questions, and I'll talk to you later." Harry walked quickly between the two groups, "It's nothing, let's go to class."

"Why are you so nervous, thinking we'll lose?" Sirius glanced at him.

"There may be hope for 'you', but going it alone is another matter." Snape said uncooperatively, and James and Sirius became even more angry all of a sudden.

"Fine, you can do whatever you want." Harry gave up, "Let's just say it first, I won't explain to Lily what's going on."

Walking halfway through the corridor, he heard James and the others chasing him.
