Chapter 73
Not far from Flitwick’s house, we saw a village.
It was said to be a gathering place for semi-wizards, but the village was not big. Perhaps the number of wizards was too small compared to Muggles.
But fortunately, wizards still need to eat.
There are fresh meat and vegetables for sale in the village.
After Harry made some selections in the store and was about to pay, Flitwick rushed to give him the money.
Are you kidding? The chef cooks and he has to pay for the vegetables. How can this be justified?
After buying the vegetables, Harry was not in a hurry to go back. He took a walk in the village with Flitwick.
There was a small square in the center of the village. What caught Harry’s attention was that there was a monument-like stone pillar in the center of the square.
It still exuded a magical aura, as if someone had cast a spell on it.
“”Go and have a look, Harry.” Flitwick said to him at this time.
Harry was stunned, not understanding why he had to go and have a look.
But from what Flitwick meant, there might be some changes if he went over, after all, the stone pillar was cast with magic.
Harry walked over slowly, and when Harry approached a certain distance, the stone pillar slowly changed. It was no longer an obelisk with names engraved on it.
Instead, it turned into a statue of three people: a man with disheveled hair and glasses, a woman with long hair, beautiful and kind face, and a baby boy sitting in his mother’s arms.
Is this his family of three?
Harry looked at the statue above and remained silent.
Flitwick also appeared beside him:”This was made by the wizards here, in memory of James and Lily who sacrificed their lives, and to commemorate your defeat of the mysterious man!”
Harry sneered:”It seems that the mysterious man is really terrifying. After so long, it still makes people afraid, but he also did a good thing. After all, death is never scary. What is scary is disappearing from history.”
“Let’s go, Professor, it’s time to cook. Harry shook the bag in his hand.
“Oh, okay.”Flitwick agreed immediately.
In the evening, Flitwick was a little happy and painful.
If Dudley and Vernon were there, they would definitely be familiar with
“Harry, are you going to visit your Potter family tomorrow?¨． ？”After taking a sip of tea, Flitwick asked Harry who was sitting next to him.
Harry hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
With his rapidly growing strength now, he will be able to face all difficulties and dangers sooner or later, so he doesn’t have to be too afraid of unknown dangers.
This is the confidence that strength brings him.
The next day.
Flitwick took Harry to a place not far from the village, where there was a dilapidated house. From the outside, most of the house was gone, and the outside was overgrown with weeds, giving people a feeling of being dilapidated and desolate.
But when you step near the house, the house that originally looked mostly damaged has turned into a complete house. Although it still looks shabby, it is much better than the original mostly damaged state.
Flitwick explained:”After the mysterious man was defeated by you, Dumbledore came here personally to repair the house, and asked the house-elves to come and clean it every year.”
Harry nodded, walked over, and pushed open the door.
“”Squeak”, the door that had not been opened for 11 years was finally opened again.
Harry walked in, followed by Flitwick.
The furniture and facilities in the house were still well maintained, and the whole house was clean and spotless, as if no one had ever lived here.
There was no breath of life, and even the Boggart that liked to hide in the dark corners did not appear.
It was indeed well protected!
But Harry would rather see a messy look.
At this time, a voice came from his ear:”Who is it?”
Harry turned his head and saw a portrait hanging on the wall. In the portrait was a middle-aged man who looked 50 or 60% like him, but not his father.
“Um, you, you are.” The person in the portrait was so excited that he stuttered when he saw Harry’s face.
“Freddy, long time no see, he is the son of Harry, James and Lily.”Flitwick said to the middle-aged man in the portrait with a smile.
“Harry, it’s really Harry, you’re back, kid.”The portrait didn’t bother to greet Flitwick, and continued to look at Harry excitedly.
If he wasn’t a portrait, he might have shed tears of excitement, but unfortunately, he couldn’t do it.
“”Harry, he is your grandfather, Freddy Potter.” Flitwick introduced his identity to Harry.
Harry looked at the middle-aged man who looked a bit like him, and suddenly an emotion he had never experienced before lingered in his heart.
It was a true blood connection.
“Grandfather.” Harry called softly to the portrait
“Hey, good boy, come closer so I can see you better. Freddy called out quickly.
Harry obediently walked a few steps forward.
“You look a lot like James, but your eyes are like your mother’s, like an emerald gem.” Freddy’s face showed a kind expression.
Harry didn’t say anything. He had never had the experience of interacting with his closest relatives, so he didn’t know how to answer him.
“Your grandmother is out chatting. If she were here, she would be too excited to speak.”Freddy laughed.
Grandma?
Harry smiled.
“々｀ Well, Harry, now that you are back, take a good look around the house. This is our Potter family’s old house.”Freddy said to Harry
“Although the Potter family has never been prosperous, it is still an old family, and some interesting things have been passed down.”
“Is that the Invisibility Cloak?” Harry said, looking at him.
“Hmm? Has Dumbledore given it to you?”Freddy smiled and continued,”Then you have discovered that the invisibility cloak is completely different from other invisibility cloaks. Its origin is a bit mysterious, but you need to explore it yourself. After all, exploring secrets is also a kind of fun for wizards, isn’t it?”
After saying that, Freddy winked at Harry playfully.
Harry had basically seen the unique fun of wizards in Dumbledore.
He nodded silently, as a response to him.
“In the basement, there are magic books and notes that have been continuously updated by generations of Potters. Fortunately, it was not blown up at that time. Dumbledore wanted to go in and visit many times, but (good thing) I never agreed. Only people from the Potter family can go in.”Freddy said with a smile
“Dumbledore? Does he need these things? There should be many more books in the Hogwarts library than here. Harry showed a surprised expression.
“Of course, the library at Hogwarts is much bigger than here, but Harry, every family has some unique insights into magic.”Freddy explained.
Harry’s eyes lit up. This is what he needed.
“The bedroom on the second floor is where James and Lily once lived, and there are some group photos inside……”Freddy was silent.
“It’s okay, Grandpa, Hagrid once gave me a photo album, and I’ve seen photos of my parents and me.”Harry whispered
“Really?”Freddy didn’t want to continue on this topic.
He changed the subject:”Now that you’re back, will you live here in the future? Or do you have a new home outside?”
