Mentor and Friends

Harry didn't suffer too much during the whole pregnancy, even if he was mentally ill for a while, but fortunately, such days didn't last too long.

The arrival of James and others seemed to bring vitality to Harry. When he got along with them, Harry was extremely happy. This situation led to the fact that in the last two months when Harry was not fit to go out, Severer Thomas and Lucius were simply taken over by Tom to live with them.

The aristocratic education that Lucius was exposed to made him calm down a lot, and the smile on his face was less, and more of it was the smirk that Harry used to be extremely disgusted with.

Harry felt the deepest emotion about this.

He almost watched Lucius step by step from the cheerful and optimistic child at the beginning to the perfect heir of the Malfoy family today.

If you want to grow up, you must lose something. Maybe when Lucius grows up and looks back on these years of life, those bitter tastes will eventually fill his memory. After all the bitterness precipitates, it will become the best memory.

Everyone needs to grow up, just like him in the past, just like Lucius at the moment.

"What's the matter?" Looking at Harry thoughtfully, Tom leaned over in front of Harry, "Uncomfortable?"

Harry shook his head: "I just feel that Lucius has grown up."

In a few years, it will be Hogwarts.

There, it will be a new beginning.

Tom kissed him lightly, but said nothing.

When Harry is free recently, he tends to think wildly. Sometimes he will lose his temper with Tom for no reason, and sometimes he will laugh at himself thinking about something. When Ron visits, they will have a lot to say, He forgot the time as soon as they chatted, and every time Tom sat next to them and listened to them, he always felt terrified of Harry's previous life.

Those wonderful, dark, happy and painful pasts, the taste of which is not everyone can experience.

At the end of May, they welcomed their long-awaited child.

The newly born child was wrinkled and ugly, looked thin and weak, but cried extremely loudly. Tom held the child for a long time without saying a word.

It took him a long time to calm down his excitement.

This was his and Harry's child, their lost and found child.

This is...the continuation of their lives.

They named him Leslie Riddle.

The birth of a newborn is always a joy. Lucius and others are extremely curious about this little life. The arrival of Leslie is welcomed by these children. Sometimes Lucius even volunteers to hug Harry. Hug this child, unfortunately, whenever he hugs this little cutie, he will always be frightened by his limp body.

Even James and Sirius, the two courageous children, felt joy and horror side by side when facing this little guy.

The newly born baby is so small that it is incredible to look at it, let alone hold it.

Since James poked Leslie's cheek out of curiosity and made him cry, he didn't dare to get close to him.

Fortunately, as the child opened his eyes and his facial features slowly opened, the little guy grew up very quickly. After the first month, Lucius at least dared to hug him.

Although Leslie didn't like his embrace very much, because it was too stiff.

Harry himself had never taken care of a newborn child, but even for the first time, he was very good at it. For this lost and recovered child, he and Tom did everything possible to give the greatest care.

Although the child's surname was Riddle, Harry made Ron the child's godfather, and Tom had no objection to this.

Ron finally plucked up the courage to tell Molly about himself. Although he was extremely nervous when he said it, his attitude was very firm.

Harry didn't know what he said, anyway, in the end, Molly accepted his decision after all.

Unfortunately, due to space constraints, Molly and the others could not come to Ron's wedding.

When the channel between the two worlds failed, Harry forced his way across space to come here. Because Harry’s own affairs were settled, Hermione and the others didn’t bother to study these anymore. Their purpose now is to need Keep the connection between them uninterrupted. Both Harry and Hermione have a hunch that if the connection is interrupted, then they will probably never be able to contact them again.

So under such circumstances, they unanimously decided that it would be good to keep in touch.

Ron's wedding day was a lively one, and it was hard to imagine that a man as taciturn as Moody could have so many friends to celebrate his wedding.

Harry was sitting on one side with Leslie in his arms. Someone recognized him, and several people came to ask for his autograph.

He handed the child to Tom and chatted eagerly with his fans.

Those who knew Tom's identity were dumbfounded at Harry's casual handing of the child to the Duke of Darkness.

They never thought that the always indifferent Duke of Darkness would hold the child so patiently and coax him patiently.

All this was too much for them to bear.

However, compared to those who couldn't accept the Duke of Darkness's actions at this time, the young people who came to Harry to sign were much calmer than those people. In their view, there is no war now, and they can fight the Duke of Darkness with greater strength. Most of them are politicians. The Quidditch stars in front of them are more attractive than the political arena. Among the young people chatting with Harry, there are many people who are preparing to participate in the national team selection. The big stars in front of them are what they should pay attention to.

Although Harry has retired, but Harry looks so young, maybe when his children grow up, he will continue to return to the game?

Who knows, the future is still very long.

But they know very well that for a long period of time now and in the future, people in many countries, not just the UK, regard Harry as their goal and are constantly working hard.

Tom held the baby and smiled at it as he watched Harry talk to the people around him.

Harry doesn't want to expose his abilities to the eyes of the world, that's what he learned in the war, this power is too great, but there is no war in this world, he wants to live in another way.

However, even so, no matter where Harry was, he was an attention-grabbing presence.

It was what they were most looking forward to for Harry to be cheerful now. Those eyes were not suitable for sadness, but only suitable for being full of sunshine.

Ron's wedding was over, and the two returned to the residence. Leslie seemed very excited throughout the night. For him, he didn't even plan to go to bed after one o'clock. Harry looked at the smiling child and shook his head helplessly. .

If the child does not sleep, Harry naturally has to accompany him.

Tom sat aside, watching Harry coaxing the child, the lights gradually dimmed, and there was silence all around, only the child's laughter and Harry's murmur.

He hugged Harry from behind, resting his chin on Harry's shoulder.

"What?" Harry squeezed his hand back.

Tom shook his head, just hugged him silently, and looked with him at the child who lay peacefully on the bed but just didn't want to sleep.

"This kid is so energetic, won't he really be a Gryffindor in the future?" Tom looked at Leslie who was smiling happily, thinking about his own guess, but also laughed.

If this is the case, I am afraid this family will be lively in the future.

"Is Gryffindor bad? I think Gryffindor is very good." Harry lowered his head and rubbed his son, "Are you dear?"

"Ah..." The child couldn't speak, but he seemed to have infected his father's mood, and he patted his father with his small palm.

Harry smiled happily.

Tom himself sometimes felt out of sorts after months of sleep deprivation from the little guy, but Harry was clearly enjoying it.

"Go to bed first if you're tired." Harry patted him.

"Just watch you." Tom shook his head, watching Harry tease the cute little guy.

The guy was too excited to go to sleep tonight, and Harry didn't care, that's all Tom watched.

The moonlight came in through the thin screen window, blending with the lights in the house.

Tom watched the interaction between the big and the small with a faint smile.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, such a warm picture conveyed too much warmth, which he never expected, even if he had it, he was worried that he would lose it one day.

In the past, such good things almost slipped away from his hands, but now, he should cherish them even more.

He looked at one big and one small, thinking in his heart.

The night was getting dark, and a few insects were flapping their wings on the lamp. The lights flickered, and Tom began to feel tired.

He fell asleep on Harry's shoulder before he knew it.

Harry moved him to the middle of the bed, turned around and continued teasing his son.

Tom still held Harry's hand, and he slept peacefully and had a very beautiful dream.

In the dream, he and Harry had white hair like snow. They set up a swing in the yard. In the evening, they sat on the swing. Harry leaned his head on his shoulder, and they whispered something softly.

The afterglow of the setting sun elongated their backs.

Later, as it was getting dark and everything in the yard was becoming hazy, he saw himself and Harry leave the swing and enter the house, holding hands tightly.

The surroundings became dark, and the lights in the house shone brightly, becoming the only light in the darkness. Even in the fog, Tom could clearly see the direction of his home.

That picture is beautiful...beautiful...
