When Harry threw a box of strawberries into the shopping cart, he never expected to meet William the next second.
The boy was still the same, with freckles and curly brown hair. On his back was a schoolbag that made Harry frown - it was exactly the same as Harry's previous schoolbag. Next to him was a big boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who should be his brother.
Harry sighed, turned around and left - he didn't want to run into them. But it was useless. William's eyes seemed to be more powerful than telescopes, and he immediately found Harry from the crowd.
"Harry!" The boy ran and grabbed Harry's hand, "Harry, please, wait a minute, don't go!"
Harry really wanted to put some oil on his feet and teleport home. This scenario sounds good. Former classmates met in the supermarket. Each person had a shopping cart. The height comparison is no different from that of the past. And when students are not in the same country, it is very difficult for two people to meet during non-holidays. .
It was a coincidence, but Harry didn't want this coincidence at all. He wanted a more ordinary shopping experience.
"Hi, William." He put on a standard smile, pushed the shopping cart back, and stepped behind the car so that William wouldn't be so close to him.
"I heard that you are studying in England...have you come back?" William seemed ashamed of his behavior. He let go of Harry's hand with some expectation, "Do you finally want to come back to middle school?"
"No, actually, one of my sisters went home," Harry said. "I just came back to visit her. I will go back tomorrow. Thank you for your concern, William."
William's face clearly showed disappointment.
"Maybe you can't understand why I wrote to you, but I really want to apologize." He said, "Harry, I -"
"I don't care about those things," Harry's smile did not change, "I don't care about those things either, just let them pass, William - so, if you don't mind, I will continue shopping."
"You bought a lot of things... I mean, my cousin got his driver's license and he drove here, let us take you back!" William could not fail to notice Harry's sense of alienation, he immediately said, "I know Where is your home!"
"No, thank you, but—"
"Don't be so mean, man." Suddenly, William's cousin stepped forward with a fierce look on his face. He struck a cool pose. Harry thought he probably thought he could scare an eleven-year-old child like this. "Children should be obedient. Listen, my brother came to you to express his kindness. You'd better not..."
"I'm sorry, are you looking for my child?"
Erik turned around from the nearby shelf with an unfriendly expression and put his hands on Harry's shoulders, "Harry?"
"This is my former classmate." Harry snickered inwardly, and extended his hand to introduce in a very standard posture. He spoke so fast for the first time, as if someone had pressed the fast forward button, and he spoke like a barrage of cannons. " And his...cousin. That’s the thing, he said he would take me home, but I didn’t even have time to say that I was accompanied by my parents and I didn’t need their kindness.”
Erik nodded and reluctantly showed a friendly smile: "Thank you for your... kindness. But I don't think a newcomer who just got a driver's license can drive well. So, Harry, let's go."
Before he could finish speaking, the people in front of him, one large and one small, immediately bolted and fled away.
Harry couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. He really didn't expect that Eric's smile, a killer weapon, would have such a good effect. If he had known it, he would have followed Eric every step of the way. Although the shopping efficiency was reduced, the deterrent effect was really good. He is really not complaining, but Charles has a really good temper. If he encounters trouble, it is hard to say whether Charles, who is extremely self-disciplined in his ability, can get out of trouble.
Perhaps he was really envious of the ordinary life. During the years of raising Harry, he rarely used his abilities.
"I don't understand people like them." Erik took the shopping cart from his hand and strode it to the checkout counter. Harry frowned and trotted after him, "They are not stronger than us. They don’t have weapons, and they think they can defeat people who look weaker than themselves, or not weaker than them, with their momentum, posture and words.”
Harry knew that this was Erik starting to think deeply again. It is said that great people have great minds, and what they are probably talking about is Erik. A simple thing can be done by Harry and Charles without suffering any loss, but Erik will think deeper. Charles said that He is a philosopher in life, and will tell him to stop using his brain from time to time, lest they start bickering over a certain issue again.
Harry raised the corner of his mouth, blinked and said, "Maybe they think I'm much weaker than them?" He wrinkled his nose, "Do I really look that bad? My magic makes me good, right? You know, I was the one who defeated everyone else in the dueling class at school."
"Even so, you are still too thin, sir," Erik replied with a raised eyebrow, taking out his card to pay, "You should eat more meat, drink more milk, and exercise more. This is what we told Alex and Sean back then - —Did Raven give you a training menu? She hates weak men."
"Um, yes, but... well, I prefer reading." Harry scratched his head and then helped put the goods into the bags one by one. The cashier glanced at them and asked, "Do you need bags? Now if you add ten dollars, you can also get a free package of chocolate chip cookies.”
erik: "No, we don't need-"
Harry coughed: "Oh, look, that's the brand that ranks third on Peter's favorite cookie list!"
Erik paused. He looked down at Harry, who had a sweet smile on his face next to him, and finally chose to tell the cashier: "Then, add ten dollars, and please give me the cookie."
…………
Charles took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time flashing above. It was now around 5:30 in the afternoon. Then he drove his wheelchair to the door, and happened to meet Harry and Erik entering.
"Thanks god, you have really lost weight." Charles hugged his son at the door and rubbed the boy's head, face and ears lovingly. "Are you working too hard again? Well, I promised not to ask about this. So how are your grades?"
"Well...curses have always been o, potions have always been e. The herbalists may not like me very much, so sometimes there will be e. Flying lessons will always be like that." Harry kissed him on the face, The latter smiled happily and replied, "So I don't have to worry about what will happen if I miss a class or two, Draco will give me notes."
"I'm going to take the things in first." Erik said in a deep voice. To be honest, he had been looking solemn since he entered the door, and his steps were heavy as well, as if he was about to fight against the end of the world. "You guys first... no, We'd better go in together, Charles, it's best if you and Harry come with me -"
"No way, dear," Charles said with a smile, "It's no big deal, and you are already late. This is a 1v2, there is no negotiation. We will be their family, but none of us are their fathers."
Erik put his hands on his waist and took a deep breath: "Oh my God."
"Do you know that you are acting like a pregnant woman who is about to enter the delivery room after ten months of pregnancy?" Charles joked, wanting Erik to relax, "Whatever you want for dinner, madam, you know, the child is the most important thing. "
Harry turned his face behind him to stifle a smile. He passed Erik directly and walked to the living room: "nina——"
The little girl jumped up from the sofa like a cat upon hearing the call, ran up to him, hugged his waist and rubbed against him for a while.
"Harry, you're back!" The little girl stretched out her hand to ask Harry to hug her, and of course Harry complied. "It's so boring to go to school every day, and you're not home yet!" She pursed her lips a little aggrievedly.
Since Nina is six years old this year and her abilities are very safe, she naturally needs to go to school. Hank's suggestion is that parents (such as elders, brothers and sisters who are mutants) should first lay a solid foundation for learning. More important, because such children always gain more experience in using abilities, but tend to fall behind academically.
Therefore, Nina was finally sent to an ordinary elementary school. On the first day of school, Erik was restless and uneasy. As a senior, Charles naturally gave him some guidance for a long time, and the two of them even drank some wine. In the end, whether out of gratitude or under the influence of alcohol, they abruptly changed from a sitting position to a lying position, and kissed passionately on the sofa.
Then Erik gave up the idea of 'going to school with Nina to see Nina's school life'.
"There is a girl in our class who likes you," Nina whispered to him secretly. "She also asked me what kind of girl you like and said I was cunning."
"Next time, just say I like you like this." Harry whispered to her.
"Peter said the same thing."
"Peter is right - but where is Peter?" Harry thought of this and looked around.
"Wanda has her own room, and Peter is helping her clean it up." Nina thought for a long time and concluded, squirming in Harry's arms, "Wanda is so beautiful~"
"You are beautiful too," Harry carried her upstairs. "You will be as beautiful as Wanda when you grow up - speaking of which, do you want to eat fish tonight?"
"But Charles said we were going out to eat," Nina said, "I want to drink fish soup."
"Of course I will be the one cooking when I come back tonight," Harry went upstairs with a smile, "so I make the decision."
"Long live!"
Just like Nina said, Peter is helping Wanda tidy up the room. In fact, there is nothing missing in this house, and the daily utensils are all backed up in case students suddenly visit. However, Wanda wants to stay as a permanent guest, and she is a lady, so it is natural for her to tidy up carefully, and Charles is preparing for it. This brought a lot of daily necessities for women, and Magda, the mother of the twins, also prepared things for her daughters. These had to be arranged or tidied up, so Peter volunteered to help his sister.
——The end result is of course a mess.
When Harry stepped into the corridor on the second floor, he heard Wanda's voice shouting: "You're making me dizzy, Peter, stop - God, don't touch those, I can do it myself."
"You came too late!"
"You made a mess here," Wanda said calmly and decisively, "I can clean it up myself, you don't need to-"
"You're using your powers to tidy up the house, which doesn't help at all—"
"Aren't you using your powers too? It's not helpful at all."
One of the siblings' voices was too calm, and the other was too assertive, which made Harry a little uneasy and stopped at the door. He first imitated Peter's usual behavior and stuck his head in to take a look. Then he coughed a few times and tapped the door frame with his finger matter-of-factly.
"Hey, instead of using your abilities to fight, why don't you let me help clean up? I'm used to doing this, really."
The two siblings, who were flashing red light on their hands and running around the room, stopped at the same time when they heard these words.
"Harry?" Wanda asked.
"Harry!" Peter shouted in surprise.
"...Hi, Peter, hi, hello, Wanda." Harry tried hard not to appear so nervous. He put Nina on the ground and looked at the whole messy room, "It looks like you guys are having a great time. Lively, but I have to say, one of you needs to go to the kitchen to help me, so——"
He waved his finger a little, like he was waving a magic wand.
"Get organized quickly," he read.
There was a moment of silence in the room - and then it came alive. As if given life or mechanisms, everything in the room has the ability to move freely, and operates according to a law recognized by people.
Wanda opened her eyes slightly and looked at the room that suddenly moved, without saying a word. There was surprise in her eyes at first, but after a while, there was only appreciation in her eyes. This process is magical and worth seeing. It is like a flower, with its own growth process and order. This is the first time for Wanda to have such a magical experience, so she said nothing, not wanting to interrupt the room. operates on its own.
The first ones to move were a few pairs of shoes that were a bit old but still quite good-looking. They seemed to be worn by transparent people on their feet. They jumped around on their own and walked happily into the shoe cabinet. The heaviest boots were at the bottom, the lightest sandals in the middle, and the commonly used sneakers and high heels. It was very convenient to put it on top; then the clothes that were thrown all over the room started to move. The skirts and coats fluttered into the closet that I opened the door. Of course, the hangers followed behind, and they were put in diligently. The clothes were hung up, and the pants and other clothes were folded and put into the drawers by category. Some accessories that were still in the bags were gathered on the dressing table. Some skin care products had been placed there for a long time and were also placed there. Arranged again in order of height. The new sheets that Charles brought were spread out by themselves, the quilt was neatly folded and placed on top, and the pillow danced a few disco circles in the air, becoming fluffy and soft.
"Oh, there's this." Harry waved his hand towards the bathroom, and with a clatter, the mirror fragments accidentally broken by Wanda seemed to have pressed the playback button, and instantly became intact as before.
As for the dirty clothes, they floated downstairs slowly. The siblings looked at the clothes turning back three times, and for some reason they suddenly felt a strong sense of grievance on them.
"I'll just take it and wash it if it's dirty," Harry looked at the silent twins uneasily, "And...is there anything else I can do?"
...Well, what if this cool sister thinks he is here to demonstrate? Harry muttered in his mind.
"No, you've been a big help." The two siblings said at the same time, and showed surprised expressions at the same time. They glanced at each other, as if they didn't expect that they had such a tacit understanding.
But since they are twins, isn't it natural for them to have a tacit understanding?
After thinking of this, the siblings laughed together, and the conflicts and annoyance caused by tidying up the room just now disappeared.
"Seriously, the housekeeping company can hire you with a high salary, and I think we can go down together -" Peter said.
"——If you think we can help in the kitchen, we are willing to help." Wanda said after this.
When she faced Harry, her angry and cold look disappeared, and a shallow smile gradually appeared on her face. Harry knew that this meant that Uncle Eric's sister had a good impression of him.
Great, Harry, that's it! He encouraged himself mentally.
"I want to help too, I want to help too!" Not willing to be ignored, Nina stood on tiptoes and raised her hands, jumping and saying, "I can peel potatoes!"
"It's great that you can help! How about we go down now? We have purchased a lot of things and we are very busy." Harry walked towards the stairs and waved to the siblings.
…………
"They're coming down, they're coming down!" After Charles heard the footsteps becoming more frequent and heavier, he quickly gestured to Erik and blinked fiercely, meaning to come up quickly.
The footsteps of all the children in their family are easy to recognize - Nina is often light and fast, Peter is faster and heavier than her, Harry is more steady, and Wanda is slow, which fits her temperament and image very well.
Judging from the footsteps he heard, it was probably all the children going downstairs together - it was time for Erik's battle to begin.
erik... erik's whole body became stiff.
"I'm not mentally prepared yet," he said firmly.
"You've done it well, or you have to do it well." Charles smiled and pushed him, "Go ahead, it's just a pair of twins. I envy you so much."
"Don't forget our relationship - they are your twins too."
"Of course I haven't forgotten, of course they are also my children, but, Erik, during the time you were escaping, I have already made enough first steps and preparations for the next step -" Charles pushed Erik to the door with all his strength. Bian, "So it's your turn, the hero dad who won two bids in one go."
The hero dad then successfully moved himself to the stairs. When Harry waited for the four people to go downstairs, he saw him standing there stiffly, looking at them. He just stared at them silently, not even answering when Nina called him.
Harry then stood on the stairs and winked at him. He stood at the front, so he gestured so that no one behind him could see him, but when he saw Erik, his expression only wavered for a moment.
Eter was talking quietly, but after seeing Erik, both of them stopped silently.
"...Um, hi, Uncle Erik," Harry saw that the atmosphere was really awkward, so he had to smooth things over, "Eter is coming to help me, and we are going to the kitchen to cook. Can you help us find some aprons?"
"...I'm very happy." Erik's lips moved and he finally replied, then he went to the kitchen first, and then the twins started moving again. And out of nowhere, Erik asked them questions at the kitchen door.
"Do you... have any taboos?" Erik asked, as if he was the one making the meal today.
His eyes did not dare to fall on the two children, for fear that the thing would reveal something that might anger the children - it is true that Eter is not young anymore, he is an adult, and he does not need to be as meticulous as he is with children. Be careful, but between their awkward relationship and adult pride, Erik doesn't dare to act rashly.
He dared to get angry at magda and complain to the child's mother, but he dared not say a word to the child.
——They are all his children, his family, one of the most important people in Erik's world, and the thing he lacked the most in the first half of his life, and the most precious thing.
"...I'll eat anything." Wanda answered after being silent for a while.
Peter wanted to run away in an instant, but Harry had noticed this and grabbed his clothes early, so he could only look at the sky and the ground but not at Erik, and kept coughing.
"Peter?" Erik said.
"Huh? Uh, oh...I don't eat broccoli." Peter said.
Eric nodded and then turned and entered the kitchen.
Peter and Wanda looked at each other, wondering whether they should go in or not.
And God - later Peter said it was really fucking God - seemed to think this was not embarrassing and messy enough. At this moment, the phone rang, ringing urgently, as if there was a cat on the other side. A general struggle.
"I'll pick it up! I'll pick it up!" Seeing the siblings' eyes on the phone, Harry quickly ran to answer the phone.
Then when I fucked (this time it was Erik’s later comment) came.
This is not an ordinary phone call, this is a phone call from an angry Scott and several other people. It came in a hurry and was crazy, because before Scott and the others gave Harry any chance to speak out as a reminder, they opened their mouths to curse incessantly, their tone was cold, but their speed was terrifyingly fast, and their tones tended to break.
"Professor, you have to leave that bastard right away, right now!"
"Erik actually had a child before?! He didn't tell you!!! I heard that he was in a relationship with you, but he didn't tell you about his past. You actually tolerated this kind of thing, teach you Didn’t you look at his head?!”
"Why didn't he tell you? Did he think you were someone who couldn't tolerate his children? Go to hell!" They said one by one and bombarded Harry with a large number of calls.
And in this crazy bombardment, there are also various people saying, "Scott, please calm down," "This is none of your business," etc... And among them, there is also Hank who sounds completely innocent. Persuasive persuasion: "You all calm down. Things are not what you think. Listen to what I have to say..."
Harry could hear his aunt's voice coldly scolding the students, but that was not his current focus.
fall in love? who? His dad, his dad and uncle erik?
Harry dropped the phone in shock.
Dad is talking to Uncle Erik! love! like!

Thank you all for your relationship. My health is actually not very serious. I just need to adjust to the jet lag, so it is very painful. Wow, you are so happy to have so many little angels caring about me~
ps: I’ve been playing FGO these days while I’m getting injections. In Chapter 7, I cried like a dog while playing. I wonder if Mushroom can be nicer to Shan En. Does she have a grudge against this CP...
I will update on time at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, and set a flag to spur myself on. It has become cold in Wuhan recently, and my fingers are frozen and I don't want to move...
