I forgive you: Chapter 14
Harry's POV
"You. No. Like. Me. You. Say. Me. Dad. No. Nice." I tried to explain.
"You mean to say that I didn't like you. I hated
you. I kept comparing you to your father. I also ridiculed you?" The more
he asked, the more he realized he would have done it if he didn't attend this
will reading.
Severus held me and asked, "Can you show me your
first day in Hogwarts? Then, your first class with me from your point of view?
I have a vague feeling of what I would have done?" He pleaded. I nodded.
When he entered my mindscape again, the moment I joined
him, I felt like I was hugged close. I showed him the memory of my journey to
Hogwarts, my sorting and then, my first potions class.
When he exited my mind, he asked, "Why didn't you
show me the paper?"
"Her... her..."
"Do you want to say, Hermione?"
I nodded. "Me. Do. I. See. No. Mine."
"You mean to say that you did try. That was the
reason you looked down when I called you out. The parchment was not
there."
I nodded.
"I am sorry Harry."
"You. No. Sorry. You. No. Know."
"Can you tell us what happened in your time at
Hogwarts?"
I nodded. Then I got an idea. It would be better to call
Mortem. He would explain better than my broken speech. I was also feeling tired
and sleepy. Being in a baby's body is not easy.
"Mor...tem... Come." I called him.
"What do you mean Harry? Who is Mortem?"
Sirius, Remus, and Severus looked at me confused.
But Ragnok immediately shot up from his seat and said,
"Gringotts will be honored with the arrival of Death." And bowed.
Sirius, Remus, and Severus paled after they heard Ragnok
invite Death.
Slowly the room started to cool down. From a corner, a
cloaked figure came out from the shadows.
I happily put my hands towards him and called him to me.
He chuckled. "Did you miss me, my master?"
I nodded. When he got close, I held his finger. His voice
was still androgynous. He motioned Ragnok to stop bowing and sit.
"Do you wish for me to explain what happened during
your time in Hogwarts and your stay with the Dursleys while you attended
Hogwarts?"
I nodded and then yawned.
Severus took me into his arms, while I still had a firm
grip on Mortem's hand, and said, "It might take a long time, Harry. Sleep.
We can wake you when we have to go to our homes." He said, though the last
part was muttered.
"You can stay with us Severus. Dumbledore already
knows where you stay, he might get the aurors to get you arrested." Sirius
said.
