Chapter 249 Summer (7.3 Part 1)
He wouldn't let her go into the water alone, the side effects of the Lazarus pool, he faced it with her.
At first, nothing changed, and Damian was almost disappointed that he and Harry thought too easily, and restoring the memory was not as simple and crude as it should have been.
Ten seconds later, Harry in the water suddenly opened his eyes, a few air bubbles leaked from his mouth, and he grabbed part of his underwater arm.
He immediately lifted her out of the water, she was panting, and was about to say something——
However, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded in the cave at this time, which attracted the two of them's full attention.
He only had time to pull Harry ashore when he was surrounded by three layers of silent guards inside and outside, as well as the elite squad he knew by his mother's side.Like the stars, they made way for "Lady Thalia".
Damian gritted his teeth, it really was an ambush.
"Mother." Damian greeted Harry calmly, keeping Harry behind.
"Damian." Thalia nodded lightly.
Damian felt Harry squeeze his arm behind him.
"The two of us will definitely be able to fight out, no matter how many people you bring." He said confidently.
However, he himself knows that this self-confidence is only a strong outside, and if his mother also makes a move, he is probably... only 20% sure.
"No, Damian," Talia shook her head, "I'll let you go."
This development was too unexpected, Damian narrowed his eyes, his mother was never a philanthropist, "On what condition?"
He remembered his mother's "hobby"——
"If you are still thinking about Harley Gene, you should give up as soon as possible, we would rather die here."
"No conditions," Thalia said.
Damian would never believe it anyway, "... What evil plan are you planning?"
"You have always been the heir to the League of Assassins, Damian," Talia raised her head slightly, "my proudest creation."
"I tried to replace you with a clone several times, but failed. Of course, I will continue to try."
"I won't kill you, at least not now."
She waved her hand, and the silent guards and assassins around her had already started to retreat.
"Be a wise man, Damian, and get her out of here while your grandfather is away and before I change my mind." She also turned in the direction of the cave entrance, "Don't waste time trying to figure out why I let you go." You are on your way."
"Father? He promised you a certain condition for us?"
"He wanted to contact me and I declined."
"...You are coveting my offspring and Harley's." This sentence is not a question, "You think too far, mother. Besides, we would rather not breed than let you succeed."
"Even I betrayed you and the alliance, but you still think that our descendants will be brainwashed by you?"
Talia paused, "I tend to keep hope."
"Just treat it as a gift from your mother, let's go, Damie."
"Since you planned to let us go from the beginning," Damian said loudly to Talia's receding figure, "why don't you just not show up?"
"If you don't know it's my kindness, then my actions will be meaningless. You have to be grateful, Damian." Talia finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Harry who was being protected by Damian. "And, I'm going to see for myself that our pool water is doing its job—welcome back, Harriet Potter."
Then, she walked away, as if she had never been there.
Damian sighed, "Don't worry...it's too early to worry about mother's future conspiracy. We will find a way." He turned his head and whispered to Harry behind him.
Although the mother's tone was affirmative, as if Harley would definitely recover her memory, Damian suddenly hesitated, and even dared not turn around.
"Are... are you okay?" He squeezed Harry's hand, bit the bullet, and looked directly at her, "...does it work?"
And Harry behind him was already in tears.
The expression she looked at him... Damian couldn't help but bend down and hug her tightly.
"God..." Harry's sobs choked in his ears, "I miss you so much, Damian."
"Shh...I've always been here," he stroked her wet hair, swallowing the soreness in his chest, "You've always been here too..."
The two hugged quietly in the undisturbed cave, forgetting the time.
"Going home?" he asked softly.
She rubbed against his ear, as if nodding, "Well, go home..."
****************
The retired Bat-Machine landed at the Wayne Mansion in Gotham late one night, and Harley felt... as if she had been in another world.
Although she did not forget everything that happened during the period of amnesia, some scenes felt like watching a movie in which someone else played herself.
She looked at the young man in the driver's seat. These days, she had wronged the proud Damian.
But Damian handled it well.
"I..." she opened her mouth as Damian unbuckled his seatbelt—
"Don't apologize to me, Harry, if that's what you meant to say." He looked over and took her hand.
When did Damian grow into such a mature and reliable man?
She nodded, taking back the words of apology on her lips.
"With that annoying habit of my father, he must be waiting for us in the house," Damian winked at Harry. "You have to block me."
Harry smiled, "No problem."
As expected, the study room of the mansion was still lit. Grandpa Alfred, Uncle Bruce, and even Sirius, who had never performed missions with Darkness Zhenglian for Harry's sake, were waiting for them.
After all the hoopla, long talks all night, and a full medical checkup, Halle and Damian officially returned home.
Damian only received a few superficial accusations from his elders.
He shrugged, and Harry could tell he wasn't worried before, and he was in the right mood now.
Sirius sent the owl letter to Professor Snape the next day.Professor Snape sent back the greetings from Headmaster Dumbledore, and arranged for her to return to school after Christmas, and his studies always came first in his heart.
Although she doesn't need to go to England to study until after Christmas, and she still has a lot of free time from October to early January, Halle still can't patrol with Damian - she needs to resume training.
More than two months of unrestrained eating and drinking began to make Harley pay the price-the clothes and uniforms were too big to fit!
Harley would beat up Damian every day when she practiced to death, saying how he didn't control her diet during the play!
But Damian says it's fine now—a little fatter, more contoured.
Harry could tell he was telling the truth...
*****************
The school start time is coming soon.Harry thought about whether to transfer back to Ilvermorny, but Professor Snape said that he could graduate in another year, so why bother? !
Malfoy transferred back to Hogwarts half a year before Harry, that is, after Voldemort was determined to be completely dead.Narcissa and old Malfoy also returned to England.
Now the British wizarding world and Hogwarts are peaceful, even boring.
On Harry's first day back at school, Ron stopped him in the auditorium.
He's now captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team - apparently, after establishing a relationship with Hermione, his self-confidence has also grown, and his goalkeeper performance has stabilized as a result.
"You're back," he shook Harry, "that kid Malfoy has eaten something, and he's become very strong now, and his Quidditch style is starting to approach you! If you don't come back, we will lose this year." !"
"Because I eat healthier than you, Weasley." Draco didn't know when he stood behind Ron, so he heard Ron's complaint in full.
It seems that Draco did not relax the exercise he gained during his exile in the United States because of the arrival of peacetime, and now he looks stronger than Ron.
"Mind if I have a few words with Harry? Thanks," he said to Ron.
Well, he was a little more polite, at least the relationship with Ron eased a little.
Ron walked away resentfully, Malfoy touched his nose——
"You disappeared for half a year, I thought you... and..."
"Dead? No," Harry shook her head. The details of her life don't need to be known to everyone, so she just shrugged. "After killing Voldemort, I wanted to relax, so I went on a trip."
"...No wonder you got a tan, you look good now." Draco didn't really believe it, but Harry didn't tell him, and he couldn't help it.
"Thanks, you too."
***************
Despite the initial rustiness, Halle quickly caught up with sixth grade.
Voldemort's curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts position was also broken with his death.Professor Lupine was hired back again.
He is indeed a rare teacher who is both responsible and genuine in many years.
Harry had asked Professor Snape if he still regretted the position.Professor Snape thought for a while, and then admitted that he really liked to study the dark arts, which contained some of the oldest essences.But now he has thought about it, there is still a big gap between teaching and research - after all, the students are too stupid to appreciate his subtle ability.
Harry thought about it for a while, probably...it was true.
Some students in the same grade with earlier birthday months have already passed their 17th birthday. During the meal in the auditorium, they were vividly talking about how they used their magic wands without any worries and freely during the Christmas holidays. Real wizards or something.I heard that other students who haven't had their birthdays are so envious.
17 years old...adult...oh Merlin...hallie dropped her spoon.
Queenie on the side poked Harry, her eyebrows moved up and down - inexplicably wretched...
"You and little Wayne's... ummm, it's almost here. Do you want to go to Paradise Island and read those 12 books again?"*
"Cough...I don't know what your 'umm' is." Harry sat upright, eating seriously, and decided to kill himself without admitting that he was thinking about it.
Damian didn't mention it in the latest Double Mirror call, it's like... he forgot, or didn't care at all?
Of course Harley has to be cool too.
******************
Although it was difficult, after regaining Harry, the team led by Ron narrowly defeated Slytherin by ten points and won the Quidditch championship.
Passed the final exam smoothly, summer vacation is just around the corner.
At King's Cross Station, Damian was still waiting for her.
The twins, who have made a qualitative leap in living standards in just one year, are both wearing dragon leather jackets.Earnings for the joke store look pretty solid.
Both of them knew that Damian was the next benefactor who would succeed Mr. Wayne in the future, and they were shaking hands with him. All three of them looked like decent businessmen.
Harry took a deep breath, pushed the luggage, and walked towards Damian.
Why did she suddenly become so anxious?
Two big things this summer, one, Dick and Starfire's wedding (finally!); and two, her coming of age...
"Excited?" Hermione said excitedly when she said goodbye to Harry: "As soon as 17 o'clock on the night of your 12th birthday, you can use magic outside of school! If it were me, I would definitely stay up all night, waiting for that moment s arrival!"
Hermione's birthday was on September 9th, which was the middle of the semester, so she didn't feel particularly excited.
"Excited, excited..." Harry smiled shyly.At the same time, he glanced at Damian who was maintaining a calm posture beside him.
So, Damian is 20 years old...
