The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

Chapter 6: True Father’s Kindness and Daughter’s Filial Piety

Unconcealable resentment flashed in Snape's eyes:

"Hate? Ha."

But Harry was still here, and he couldn't belittle her father like this in front of her, even if Snape wanted to kill James!

The hatred of hanging upside down, the hatred of taking away your wife!

James↓·Potter↑! You deserve to die!

Snape's expression softened again, he hid his inner hatred and said softly:

"Feel sorry."

Harry's mood was a little complicated, but he was not angry because of Snape's change. He just said softly:

"No, it's okay, Professor Snape."

"My father is not a good man, I've known that for a long time."

"My aunt and uncle also cursed him at night more than once. They often said..."

Harley paused and whispered: "He killed mother."

Her aunt and uncle would never belittle her father in front of her, and even if they did, they would stop scolding him. Harley knew that they didn't want her to suffer undue pain at such a young age.

But paper can't cover up the anger, even though my uncle and aunt never discuss these things face to face. But in the dead of night, she would be woken up several times, or she would not fall asleep at all, and she would hear her aunt and uncle, who were usually very gentle, curse her father with vicious words that she had never heard before. The man named James Potter.

She knew this from a very young age. Even though she had never met her parents, she knew that her mother, Lily Potter, was a very gentle person and her aunt and uncle loved her. But her father was just the opposite. Her uncle often cursed him late at night, and her aunt would occasionally cry bitterly, hating him for killing her only sister.

So they rejected everything related to wizards and magic, and even used strong methods to prevent her from coming into contact with the magical world.

She could see their fear and hatred, and knew it came from her father.

However, the wizard is not only her father, but also her mother.

That's why Harley appears here. She hopes to find traces of her mother and understand her mother's past.

And now, the appearance of Professor Snape has strengthened Harry's determination.

She didn't blame Snape for hating her father, she knew Professor Snape had his reasons and it had to be her father's fault. But Professor Snape and her aunt and uncle, despite clearly hating her father, were still willing to treat her tenderly because of her mother. Didn't this just mean that her mother was a gentler person than she imagined? people?

As for her father, having grown up under the curse of her aunt and uncle, Harley already knew that he was not a good person, and she no longer had any expectations for him. So Harley has been prepared for it for a long time - how bad can it be?

When Snape heard the girl's relief, he seemed to see the shadow of Lily in Harry, and the beautiful memories once again came to his mind.

But what followed was an even more painful memory.

Snape closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and screamed crazily in his heart:

"James, you deserve to die!"

"Feel sorry."

Snape took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he looked away from Harry and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm going outside to get some air."

After watching Snape leave, Ash looked at the man beside him who was also feeling complicated and concerned and asked:

"Are you okay? Harley."

"I'm fine."

Harley shook her head slightly and smiled back at Ash to show that she was really fine.

She had no expectations for her father from the beginning, so she could fully understand Professor Snape's complicated emotions.

Ash looked at Harley's appearance and said to himself in his heart:

"It seems that Harley's changes are not as big as those in the original work."

In the original book, because Harry looks exactly like James, his aunt and uncle hated him and made things difficult for him since he was a child. They would rather go to an orphanage than stay in that home. It was precisely because of the bad attitude of his uncle and aunt that he had great expectations for his parents whom he had never met before - he felt that as long as his parents were still alive, he would definitely live a happier life than his cousin Dudley.

In this case, Harry's first impression of his parents must be that they are the best people in the world. Only in this way can he meet his expectations. Therefore, even if there were some minor flaws in his parents' bodies, they would be automatically ignored by Harry's subconscious mind.

But Harley was completely different. Harley inherited her mother's appearance and had no resemblance to James. Therefore, when her aunt and uncle saw Harley, they thought of Lily instead of James. They only had love and distress for Harley, and at the same time, they also thought of Lily. Hate James even more - if it weren't for James, Lily wouldn't have died, and Harley wouldn't have become an orphan without parents!

Under the influence of her uncle and aunt, Harley has long been aware of her mother's gentleness and her father's scumbag nature, and her attitude has naturally changed dramatically. This is why the cultivation of children must start from the beginning. The impact of one person is huge.

"Harley!" A loud voice came into the shop. Ash and Harley looked out the window at the same time. A half-giant with a thick beard was waving at them with a chocolate, raspberry and crushed nut ice cream.

"Hagrid."

Harley waved her hand in response and said to Ash with some reluctance:

"I guess I have to go, sorry."

"It doesn't matter."

Ash smiled and responded: "He seems to have been waiting for a long time. Go quickly and don't let him worry."

"Um."

Harley nodded heavily and trotted to the half-giant, who handed the ice cream to Harley.

Harley thanked him but remained silent as she ate her ice cream.

"What's wrong?" Hagrid asked concerned.

"nothing."

Harry's eyes dodge, he didn't tell the truth, he just asked curiously:

"Hagrid, what is Slytherin?"

"That's the name of the house. There are four houses in Hogwarts, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. When you enroll, you will enter four houses under the sorting hat. One of the Houses. But don't go to Slytherin!"

"Why?" Harley asked confused.

Hagrid said with a gloomy face:

"All wizards who turn evil come from Slytherin, and You-Know-Who is no exception!"

"But……"

Harry subconsciously retorted:

"Slytherins are not all bad people, are they? If they are all bad people, why does Hogwarts allow it to exist?"

Hagrid was a little confused by the question and could only answer:

"Well, there are good wizards, and Professor Snape is one of them, but the number is too small compared to those who have gone bad."

"Professor Snape?"

Harry's eyes lit up, so does Hagrid also think Professor Snape is a good person?

Well, and Ash, he must be a good guy. Although Cassandra is arrogant, she is not bad in nature. At least she is willing to admit her mistakes and apologize.

So Slytherins are not all bad people!

Harley asked curiously:

"Which college are my parents from?"

Hagrid replied:

"Gryffindor, they all are."

Harley thought silently:

"So not all Gryffindor students are good people."

She felt that wizards were somewhat prejudiced against Slytherin.
