Chapter 14 Invitation

On the Hogwarts Express, in a small compartment at the end of the train, two black-haired boys stared at each other.

The train clanged and rattled, and Hedwig was thrashing happily in the box.This makes their negotiation like the confrontation of the century like a joke in a storybook, and it is full of all kinds of background music——

"Kang Bang Lang", "Zhi", "Kang Bang Bang", "Zhi Zhi Zhi", together with the yelling of vendors, it is really a warm and close to life RAP symphony.

"Come home with me, Harry."

"Do not."

"You can't treat me like this—" James looked at Harry affectionately, and begged, "I was wrong, and all mistakes are my fault. Come back with me! Harry!"

Harry looked at him with a blank face: "No."

"Harry!" James said aggrievedly, "Where are you going if you don't go home? We have parents at home, and Dori is waiting for us. They are all looking forward to your coming home for Christmas. Do you want to be alone? On the street, would you rather starve to death than go home? Have you forgotten how kind your parents are to you, and you are so unfeeling that you refuse to even look at them?"

A cross star appeared on Harry's forehead: "Who said I was going to run away from home!? I just went to Lily's for Christmas!"

"Lily's house?" James was taken aback for a moment, "Can I go?"

Harry continued to look at him with a wooden face, "Have you forgotten how good your parents are to you? You are so unfeeling that you won't go back to see them even at Christmas?"

"..." James immediately changed his strategy: "Come home with me!"

Harry couldn't hold his forehead.

He didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune to have such an older brother. The cold war that had been brewing for several days was so inexplicably broken.His face seems to be infinitely thick, no matter whether you talk to him or not, he will always come over naturally to talk to you.

"I've made it clear. Don't you know you're annoying, Mr. Potter?"

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and James' expression froze on his face, but then he laughed again: "We are twins, Harry, we have been together since we were little. And Mom and Dad, we are twins every Christmas. All together."

Looking at James' expression, Harry felt a little uneasy. In fact, he had already regretted the words just now.

"Then... well, let me go home for Christmas on one condition."

James breathed a sigh of relief, "Go ahead."

"I'm going to have Lily as a guest."

James froze for a moment, the smile on his face grew bigger and brighter, he sat beside Harry, bumped his brother's shoulder, and smiled extraordinarily cheaply, "No problem!"

"And Snape."

"..." James sat down across from Harry again.

"I will invite them to my house as guests. During this period, you are not allowed to intervene, make trouble, or trouble Snape."

James looked at Harry sadly, "Can I say no?"

"Do not."

"Okay." James stood up and was about to leave, "It's up to you."

"Your friends are not allowed to find fault, either," Harry added mercilessly.

James clutched his chest, made a gesture of holding a heart, and looked at Harry sadly, "You...you are so ruthless."

Harry rolled his eyes, "Come on you."

"Anyway, as long as you bring Lily." James shrugged, and walked out of the box with a chic and comfortable look again.

Harry curled his lips, remembering the strange telepathy Lily mentioned, and he bet that Lily would come.

As soon as James left, the door of the box opened again, and Lily walked in and sat opposite Harry.Snape also entered the box, he seemed to hesitate, and sat next to Lily.

Harry raised his hand to run through his hair, and gave Snape a meaningful look.

Snape pursed his lips and glared at Harry Potter viciously.

"What were you talking about just now, are you reconciled?" Lily asked.

"I don't know either. I just told him that you will be guests at home during the holidays."

Snape stared at him with wide eyes: "Is there something wrong with your head?"

Harry shrugged nonchalantly, "You two will be entertained by me. James can't interfere or find fault, including his friends."

"Can you guarantee that James won't trouble Severus?"

"James means what he says. And Mommy likes me more than James." Harry grinned wickedly.

Lily couldn't help laughing, she was tempted.

The expression on Snape's face disappeared suddenly, and he looked at them blankly, "I'm not going."

Lily glanced at Snape, "How about...forget it? You can visit my house."

"Your home is inconvenient, you can't use magic, and your parents and sister are ordinary people." Harry said pertinently, "My home is very convenient, you can stay as long as you like. The most important thing is that my parents are both wizards." , and a large collection of books. There are several wizarding families living in Godric's Hollow, and the place is huge, even playing Quidditch is no problem."

Harry glanced at the silent Snape, "Don't worry, my mother is also a Slytherin. You can stay at home on Christmas Eve, come back on Christmas, and I'll pick you up." He looked at Snape who still didn't respond. said Nepe, "it's more fun together than alone, isn't it?"

Snape looked at him, the expression on his face softened a little, he took a deep breath, "No, I'm not going, thank you."

It's impossible not to go, Harry can't persuade, and there is Mother Doria.

Doria lived up to expectations. The couple blocked the station entrance, and neither the brothers nor their friends could get out.When she saw her sons from a distance, she jumped on them enthusiastically, licking the faces of the two boys, and even their friends hugged each other.

This was quite unaccustomed to Snape, who hadn't expected that even he himself would be greeted so warmly.

"Mom, is your French fever gone yet?" James said with some embarrassment, he is already in the fifth grade, why do you still call him baby?How embarrassing!He glanced at Lily cautiously.

The hot French Mrs. Porter wore a well-tailored gown and a beautiful cap on her head, and her fur collar made her beautiful and noble.It's just that this one is too eye-catching in the train station. The "French lady" gave James a sideways look, and looked after Harry's friends kindly.This was the first time that the youngest son brought friends here, and the wife said that James's friends were quite lazy.

Lily dragged Snape to stand next to Harry, quite pleased with Mrs Potter's enthusiasm.

Charles took the luggage from the hands of his sons, and he hugged the two children vigorously, "Welcome back, we thought you two would not come back, receiving your letter Doria is almost going crazy .”

"Anyway, it's good to come back. Your poor mothers are going to miss you." Doria hugged her little son and combed Harry's tangled messy hair, "If your hair can be more honest , I'm happier."

Harry accepted Doria's mother's maternal love a little stiffly.A weekly letter from home made him used to the Doria in the letter, but obviously he hadn't gotten used to his mother in reality yet. He had never enjoyed parental affection in eighteen years, and Doria's enthusiasm was so high.

Doria was born in Slytherin, but she is very enthusiastic, but she never forgets Slytherin etiquette in every gesture.This is very contradictory, but it seems that she is noble and friendly, without airs.Lily seemed to like her very much and had a huge smile on her face.

"Mom, I'm planning to invite friends to my house." Harry suggested to Doria before everyone broke up.

"Of course there is no problem, are these two?" Doria smiled and looked at Lily and Snape, and agreed quite simply and very generously, "Warmly welcome, when do you plan to come over, do you want to stay longer?"

Snape was taken aback by the question, not knowing what to say.

Lily said from the side, "The exact time hasn't been agreed yet, ma'am, I think it might be after Christmas?"

"We welcome you at any time, but it's rare for Harry to bring friends to our house." Doria said seriously, "It's agreed, you must come, otherwise I will be sad."

Lily happily agreed, Harry and James were happy, and Snape was tangled.

Before leaving, Doria said goodbye to Lily, and she affectionately called Lily a "beautiful little girl". After parting ways, Doria asked Harry, "Is that James' sweetheart?"

"Yes."

"How's it going, isn't it good?" James asked.

Doria changed her enthusiasm just now, and said indifferently: "That's all."

Harry was stunned, and James was angry.Charles put his arms around his wife's waist understandingly, "In front of mother, never praise other women or girls. Not even baby girls."

The conversation ended after Charles was stomped on.Harry thought more and more long-term, and began to worry about the possible problems of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.
