[Zhongyingmei] My dad is Voldy

Anita lay on the bed, staring at the silver pattern on the drapery, not daring to fall asleep.As long as she closes her eyes, she can see the picture she saw in the Mirror of Erised before, and every frame is so clear.For the first time Anita hated her memory.

Anita wanted to go to Severus for hugs and comfort, but if Severus asked, how would she answer?She didn't want to lie, but she didn't want to tell Severus the truth either.Was she supposed to tell Severus she'd seen him with Lily in the Mirror of Erised?This is too cruel.

Moreover, these complicated, tangled emotions, which even she can't figure out, can only be sorted out slowly by herself.Until she sorts it out, it's better not to let others worry with her.

Anita didn't know how she fell asleep in the end, maybe it was because too many things happened that day and she was too tired.She only remembered that in her dream, her parents appeared one by one and left her one by one, but she couldn't keep any of them.Even Severus was lying in a pool of blood, but she could only watch and couldn't even hold his hand.This scene repeated itself again and again. She knew clearly that she was having a nightmare, but she couldn't wake up.Finally, a warm hand held her hand, and she finally broke free from the nightmare.

Anita sat up with a pale face, and she seemed to still feel the warmth of that person in her palm.It's a pity that she couldn't remember who he was, and she only felt that he was very familiar to her.

It was just dawn, but Anita couldn't sleep.Anita simply got up, planning to go for a walk by the Black Lake, and clean up her mood by the way.

"Harry?" Anita met Harry who was hurrying towards him in the corridor on the first floor, or rather, half of Harry's body floating in mid-air.Harry was clearly distracted, not even realizing that his Invisibility Cloak wasn't completely covering him.

Hearing his name being called, Harry stood stiffly in place, trying to make Anita ignore him with the Invisibility Cloak.

"Harry, I know it's you. You didn't cover your whole body. To be honest, it's quite scary to see half of your body floating in the air in the early morning." Anita said helplessly.

Harry pulled off the Invisibility Cloak, smiled awkwardly at Anita, and said, "I'm sorry."

Seeing Harry's confused expression, Anita suddenly softened her heart.Harry is just an 11-year-old boy, but because of the identity of the savior, Harry has to bear too much.

In some ways, Harry and she were actually quite alike.But Anita feels that Harry is much stronger than she is, at least when she is really 11 years old, she is definitely not as good as Harry.Even now that she is an old cucumber with green paint, isn't she still confused about her feelings?

"It's okay, I'm not scared." Anita looked at Harry's lonely expression like an abandoned dog, and said involuntarily, "I'm going for a walk by the lake, do you want to come together?"

"Uh, okay." Harry's mood is also very complicated now. After leaving that empty classroom, he should go back to the dormitory to sleep as soon as possible, but Harry risked being caught by Filch and wandered around in the castle. Destination walking.

He didn't really want to go back to the dormitory, because everyone else in the dormitory must have fallen asleep, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.He also didn't want to be alone, it just made him feel even more lonely and hopeless after leaving his family in the mirror.He couldn't tell the godfather about this, because the godfather had never been able to let go of his parents' death, and mentioning his parents would only make the godfather suffer again.He didn't even know how to tell Ron that although Ron was his best friend and he shared almost everything with Ron, when it came to family, he didn't think Ron, who had a big family, could understand his mood.

Hearing Harry's answer, Anita was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect Harry to agree, because her relationship with Harry was actually not very good.The conflict between Anita and Harry mainly comes from the fact that she is Severus' daughter, and Harry is Sirius' godson, so their positions make it impossible for them to be friends.Coupled with the fact that Draco and Harry are rivals, and Anita and Draco are good friends, it is already very good that Anita and Harry can maintain ordinary classmates rather than enemies.

After Harry answered, he was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that he would just agree.In fact, in his imagination, he and Anita should threaten each other not to tell the professor about the night tour, and then go their own way.But now, they're going for a walk by the lake together?

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, Anita broke the silence first, "Let's go. Filch will come over if you stay any longer." She said and walked outside the castle.Harry hesitated, but still followed Anita.

The two walked by the lake in silence, thinking about their own thoughts quietly.No one spoke, but the atmosphere was not as awkward as before. This kind of silence made both of them feel very comfortable.

In the early morning of winter, the sky has just dawned, and the lake is surrounded by mist, making everything hazy.Harry took a deep breath of the cold air, felt his restless heart slowly calm down, and suddenly had the desire to talk.

"I don't remember what my parents looked like anymore. Even if Sirius showed me their pictures, I still think they are strange." Harry whispered.

Anita gave Harry a slightly surprised look, but Harry lowered his head and didn't look at her.Anita knew that Harry just wanted someone to talk to, and she didn't need her to answer, so she just gave a soft "um" to show that she was listening.

After Harry finished speaking, there was a long silence, and Anita didn't speak to urge them, and the two of them just walked quietly by the lake.

Just when Anita thought Harry would not speak again, Harry said with some difficulty, "But last night, I saw them. I know it's just an illusion, but it's really like they are all alive, just It seems that they just went to another place temporarily and will come back anytime. Although I haven’t seen them for so many years, I feel familiar with them, as if they have never left. So, even if it’s just an illusion, I want to always be there stay with them."

Anita hesitated for a moment, then squeezed Harry's shoulder lightly to reassure him.

"Everyone says that I am the savior, I defeated the Dark Lord, but if I am so powerful, why did my parents sacrifice to protect me?" Harry's voice was choked up, "Why am I the only one who lives?" Down? I should be with Mom and Dad, in the world on the other side of the mirror."

"Harry! You are not alone, you still have your godfather, Ron, Hermione and other friends, and Professor Dumbledore."

"I know. I just..." Harry paused, as if looking for the right word.

"I understand. My mum left when I was very young and I wish she would have taken me with her, but no, she couldn't. But now I'm grateful she didn't take me away , if she took me away, I wouldn't have a father like Severus, and I wouldn't have a friend like Draco."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Harry never knew Anita didn't have a mother, and he felt guilty for reminding Anita of sad memories.

"It doesn't matter. I believe that my mother will be fine no matter where she is, and I will be fine, that's enough." Anita said, "By mirror, you mean the Mirror of Erised?"

Harry stared at Anita in surprise.

Anita smiled helplessly, "I saw it too, otherwise why do you think I got up early in the winter for a walk?"

"You saw your mother too?" Harry asked.

Anita nodded, "I saw our family living together happily, without separation or death."

Both were silent, and there was a wordless sadness between them.

"Harry, have you heard of parallel universes?" Anita asked suddenly.

"What?" Harry looked confused. Aren't they discussing the Mirror of Erised?What is a parallel universe?He couldn't accept the topic changing too quickly.

"Parallel universe. That is to say, our world is not the only one, but there are many similar but different worlds. These worlds exist independently and cannot affect each other. Each world has a you, but because you are in Different worlds make different choices, so your experience is completely different."

Harry was still looking at Anita blankly, completely unaware of what Anita was trying to tell him.

Anita has a headache, how can she magically explain the quantum parallel universe theory, Schrödinger's cat and other scientific theories?

"Let's put it this way, I just peeked into another me in another world through the mirror. It's great to see another me so happy, isn't it? But no matter how envious you are, this happiness belongs to another me. Although I I don’t have a mother, but I have a father, and I have my own happiness. Now that I know what I want, those things that will never be realized will be treasured in my heart, and those that can be realized will be the goals I will work hard for in the future.”

Harry frowned and thought for a while, and finally, as if he had figured something out, he looked at Anita sincerely with bright green eyes and said, "Thank you, Anita."

"You're welcome. After chatting with you, I have also figured out a lot."

Anita and Harry smiled at each other.At this time, the sun had completely risen, and the golden sunlight in the morning dispelled the mist on the lake, casting a thin layer of golden light on the side faces of Anita and Harry, making their facial features a little bit Fuzzy, only that smile seems to be shining.
