Chapter 234 Courage Takes the Lead!

Harry has always remembered the warning Sherlock gave him, and only summoned Lily for an hour a day at most, and let her chat with him.

For more than a month at the Dursley's house, even though Harry had been hiding it all the time, Lily was an extremely clever witch. From the clues, she clearly discovered that Harry's life in her sister's house was not good. .

It can even be said to be very bad.

For this, she didn't accuse her sister Petunia of anything in front of Harry, but just apologized to Harry with a sad face.

She knew that the Petunia family had vented their grievances against her and James on Harry, and the two families had completely cut off contact before Harry was born.

Now that the Dursleys are willing to take the risk to accept Harry, Lily can't say anything to blame, she can only attribute the fault to herself and James.

Harry was very open about this, he was already used to the attitude of the Dursleys towards him.

He even came over to comfort Lily and said, at least he's living a pretty good life now, isn't he?
With two friends like Ron and Hermione, and elders who love him like Professor Forrest and the Weasleys, and now even his mother can always be by his side, Harry didn't know how unfortunate he was, But lucky enough.

Lily is very relieved that Harry has such an idea. During the more than two months with Harry, she has figured out that although her son lived in a very bad environment since he was a child, he has not grown crooked. Become a person who complains and gives up on himself.

But at the same time, Lily did not relax her teaching to Harry.

While she saw her son's strengths, she also saw his flaws.

In the dead of night in the Gryffindor lounge, Harry lowered his voice, and was whispering to Lily about the resumption of the Triwizard Tournament this semester, and said enviously, if only he was old enough, he Going to sign up might have a great chance of being selected.

"I never doubted your ability, Harry." Lily affirmed, and then her tone became a little serious, "But I still want to remind you that bravery is a good character, but recklessness is not. It can be solved if you need to take a risk, but you have to take that risk, which is the lost Gryffindor wisdom."

"Your father was like this at the beginning, so when I first met him, I didn't like him at all. He always likes to take some meaningless adventures to show his bravery, but that kind of behavior will not be recognized. praised by people."

"True bravery is in the face of danger that there is no way to avoid, daring to stand up and face it instead of shrinking, this is the spirit of Gryffindor."

There was no look of impatience on Harry's face. He cherished every conversation he had with Lily, because the harder it was, the more precious it was.

When Lily said this, her complexion calmed down again, and she showed a gentle smile again, stretched out her hand to stroke Harry's hair, illusory contact with her hand and Harry's black hair, but did not touch anything.

"I'm not telling you this to make you think about retreating when you encounter difficulties. Courage is still the most noble character."

"I remember when I was at school, one year when we won the House Cup that term and we were celebrating with Professor McGonagall in the Gryffindor common room, Professor McGonagall asked all of us question."

Harry asked, blinking.

"what is the problem?"

"She asked us [know why the Gryffindors are always the most outstanding and the most conspicuous ones at Hogwarts?]"

Harry said thoughtfully.

"Because Gryffindor students are the most active?"

Lily's face was calm, her eyes were full of thoughts and memories, and she spoke softly.

"Professor she said [Because everything comes first with courage!]"

Silk's office is not far from Sherlock's office.

Both of them are on the third floor, separated by two stairs.

Early in the morning on the first day of formal class, Sherlock got up early, prepared all the things needed for class, then changed into his robe, and put the things he had prepared in advance into his pockets.

After taking care of his whole body, he walked towards Silk's office.

Without knocking on the door, Sherlock just leaned against the door and waited quietly. Without making him wait for a long time, Silk, who was fully dressed and always covered his eyes with a black ribbon, pushed the door and walked out from the office.

Sherlock bowed and waved naturally as a gentleman when she went out.

"Ah, beautiful lady, may I invite you to breakfast?"

The corners of Silk's mouth subconsciously turned up slightly, but soon she straightened her face again, glanced at him expressionlessly at Sherlock, and walked past him to the direction of the stairs.

Sherlock followed her with a smile, and continued to admit his mistake.

"It's been such a long time, and the anger should be gone. I know it's my fault. I always treat you like a child, but it really won't change in a while."

"It's only been one night, and I haven't calmed down."

"Then I should be in a better mood, after all, I feel a little bit better."

"Not at all."

"Okay, I'm guilty. I apologize. Miss Vera is beautiful, generous and sensible. There is no need for someone like me who is one year younger than her to worry. In order to express my apology, I specially prepared an apology."

Silk stopped in his tracks and saw what Sherlock took out from his pocket with a smile and blinking eyes.

It was a small glass bottle like a pendant. The bottle was rhombus-shaped and there were some decorative patterns on it. The bottle alone was very beautiful. Through the transparent glass, you could see some light golden liquid in it. Flow quietly.

Silk naturally recognized what this thing was at a glance.

She looked up at Sherlock, the expression on her face showed no sign of warming up, and her tone remained cold.

"You still worry about me."

Sherlock didn't deny it, he raised his eyebrows and said.

"It has nothing to do with whether I treat you as a child or not. As you said, friends also worry about each other's safety. This is the concern between friends, not the concern of elders for younger generations."

Although Silke could tell that he was secretly changing concepts and talking sweetly, even just listening to it made her feel better, but she didn't show it on her face, and she didn't accept the bottle of felicity. Still said with a straight face.

"I don't need it, you keep it for yourself."

Sherlock didn't give her a chance to refuse, and directly helped her hang the bottle of Felicia around her neck.

"It was given to me when I first came to Hogwarts by Slughorn, the professor my mother had the best relationship with, but it's been two years and I haven't had a chance to use it. If you If you don’t need it, just treat it as a pendant, at least it looks much more beautiful than those pendant boxes sold in Diagon Alley, doesn’t it?”
