Rumble - Deafening rumbles of thunder resounded across the land, and the torrential rain plunged Blaine Manor into oppressive darkness.
Amosta, who returned to the private sitting room, found that Harry was in a daze, and none of the exquisite snacks placed on the coffee table in front of him seemed to have been touched.
"Professor Brain--"
Seeing Amosta walk into the room, Harry came out of his sluggish state. He seemed to be curious about many things. However, the solemn expression on Professor Blaine's face made him realize that maybe he shouldn't To delve too deeply into his secrets,
"Shall we...leave now?"
Forced by the pressure lingering around Amosta, Harry resisted the desire to ask about the meeting and looked a little uneasy.
Walking to the window, Amosta stared at the dense rain outside the window and said thoughtfully for a moment, "Old butler Lawrence invited us to have lunch. Well--in this bad weather, I think it would be nice to have lunch here." It doesn’t matter, at least we don’t have to brave the heavy rain to find a car--"
It was a lie - Harry knew it immediately.
Professor Blaine was a powerful wizard, and he had a lot of means to keep himself out of the rain if he wanted to... Of course, Harry was not stupid. He didn't expose the lie, but just nodded calmly.
Amosta closed the window, brushed off the raindrops on his clothes, turned around and sat next to Harry, and carefully looked at the interior decoration of this house - crystal chandelier, velvet carpet, cedar coffee table , even the cups used to serve tea are precious porcelain from China.
"Tsk tsk, luxurious rich people--"
Amosta glanced at the furnishings in the room with appreciative eyes, and admired in a low voice. He thought that Potter beside him would echo something, but in fact he didn't. Potter didn't say a word, just used a secret word. , peeking at himself cautiously.
Amosta thought for a moment, leaned back in his chair, and asked with a chuckle,
"I guess you must be curious about my relationship with the owner of this manor?"
"I don't quite understand, Professor," Harry nodded hesitantly, "You said you grew up in an orphanage, but you seem to have known early on... Well, you have something to do with this manor?"
"This is because--"
Amosta picked a piece of tea cake from the coffee table, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and mumbled,
"How should I make it clear to you... Well, although I am not like you, who defeated the Dark Lord Voldemort who turned the wizarding world into disgrace not long after he was born, but, Potter, I also have Something unique of my own.”
"Unique ability?"
Harry didn't have time to care about Professor Blaine's teasing words, and blinked curiously.
"Yes -" Amosta nodded and said, "I have an outstanding memory... Of course, saying this will definitely make you wonder, what is the ability to have an outstanding memory? Even among Muggles, there are many people with amazing memories. Guys, but those people are definitely not like me. From the first time I opened my eyes in this world, I remember everything that happened to me--"
It took Harry several seconds to figure out what Professor Blaine meant. Then, his eyes widened in shock, with a funny and incredulous look on his face.
"You mean, you remember everything since you were born. I've never heard of anyone with this ability!"
"Ah, yes, this situation is indeed uncommon, but there will always be situations similar to mine." Amosta was vague, and he spread his hands towards Harry, "So, this is not difficult. Understand why even though I am an orphan, I know the blood relationship between the owner of this manor and me--"
It took Harry some time to digest the shocking news. Among all his friends, Hermione was undoubtedly the one with the best brain. She could read a book in the shortest time and make people... It makes people feel desperate to memorize textbooks, and even after a long time, they can still recite the contents of that book, but Harry believes that Hermione will never be able to remember what she looked like when she was just born!
"So, that is to say, you know...know why they--"
Harry showed a hesitant expression.
"abandon me?"
Amosta finished what Harry had left unfinished.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Professor!" Harry stood up and hurriedly expressed his apology, "I didn't mean to peek into your privacy."
Amosta waved his hand for Harry to sit down, indicating that he didn't need to be too nervous. Then, looking out the window at the unabated rain, he frowned and said,
"Okay, before lunch starts, maybe we need a topic to kill some time... Actually, I don't think discussing my origins is a shameful thing, I just think it's boring and boring. Boring..., but since we need something to talk about..."
This is another lie!
Harry pursed his lips, thinking that Professor Blaine just wanted to find an excuse to talk.
He was not an orphan, but he was almost there. Sometimes, he was eager to tell others how difficult his life with the Dursleys was. Of course, he also told Ron and Hermione these things. However, they will indeed show disbelief and anger, but neither Ron nor Hermione can empathize...
Life is always lonely.
Harry suddenly remembered what Professor Braine once said to Hermione. Perhaps what Professor Braine wanted to say was...the pain caused by some experiences can only be borne by oneself?
"Your mother...oh, of course, and your father. They sacrificed their lives to resist evil from corroding the world and to resist Voldemort. This fearless behavior is admirable, even after they have passed away for more than ten years. When people mention them, they still maintain enough respect--"
Amosta said in a soothing tone.
"Compared to them, my mother is not that noble of a person. In fact, she is quite unpopular because she is too rebellious."
Professor Brain's comments about his parents made Harry happy but also sad. He did not have such a unique talent like Professor Brain, and the only thing he knew about his appearance was the gift given to him by Hagrid at the end of his first year. His photo album, and the Mirror of Erised that no longer knows where it is.
"...Rebellion may not be enough to describe my mother's behavior in her childhood. When she was ten years old, she learned to smoke from a bad boy a few streets away. She was a first-year wizard who just entered Hogwarts. I got a tattoo on my back when I was young...
She learned to steal things. Of course, her family background did not require her to do such despicable behavior. She probably did it just for fun..., and then hung out with the boys, fighting... In less than a year or two, the record she left in the Muggle Police Department may be thicker than your History of Magic textbook-"
Harry stared at Professor Blaine in shock. He couldn't imagine that someone like Professor Blaine, who was always polite and seemed like nothing could make him angry, would have such a, uh... rebellious mother!
"You can imagine how many tears her parents shed because of her actions. In order to better discipline her, they had to transfer her to a well-known school that specializes in disciplining troubled teenagers.
But it was all in vain. It can even be said that the chaotic environment of that school encouraged her rebellious nature. After staying there for a few years, she was expelled from the school because she was the leader of a nasty group fight. and was detained for a while...
This also made her parents completely disappointed in her. When she returned home, her parents threw her luggage out the door and yelled that she was no longer their daughter. "
Speaking of this, Amosta sighed heavily, seeming to feel helpless for his mother's behavior when she was young.
"Actually, speaking of it, my birth came entirely from my mother's plan..."
