Shadows of Trees in Its Eyes

Whenever Harry enters the Great Hall, the Great Hall instantly falls silent.

Then a buzzing sound began to spread, like the buzzing of countless angry bees.

Some students even stood up so they could get a better look at Harry.

Harry actually understands this very well.

If he were in that situation, he would have done the same if he encountered someone like that.

Since the start of the school year,

He first became Champion.

And he defeated the dragon naked in front of all the Wizarding World in Europe.

It's still a head-on confrontation with non-wizards.

Subsequently, his personal image appeared on various products.

On the night of the Christmas Ball, his story with Ginny became known to everyone at school because of Ron.

And last month, on the night the team competition ended, another child appeared in his bed.

He also personally acknowledged that he was the father of his child.

The child's talent is even suspected to rival that of Merlin.

Not to mention that he was already quite famous in the Wizarding World.

Tomorrow is the start of the individual competition again.

He also happens to be the most popular male Champion.

So, although almost a month has passed since the incident with the child,

Everyone is still like this.

He was treated like a novel being, rather than a classmate he had known for years.

This is perfectly normal.

So when Harry finished his Potions Class and came to the Great Hall,

This scene would frighten any normal person.

There was no response.

"I can't believe they're still like this."

After Harry sat down, Ginny quickly handed him a plate of pies and said indignantly.

"Get me that plate of chicken legs. They look plump and juicy," Ron said to Ginny as he sat down next to her.

"I am not your servant, Ron!" Ginny shouted at Ron after her outburst.

Her expression changed instantly as she turned to Harry, and she said gently, "Harry, would you like some more roast chicken?"

"No need, I want to finish eating early and go see Meiling." Harry waved his hand.

Yes, the child's name was finally settled.

Because there can be more than one middle name.

The child's final full name is: Meiling Lily Ginevra Bella Potter.

Bella was also added to her name.

Of course, this was not kept from Neville.

Harry explained that "bella" means "beautiful" in Italy.

This name represents his blessings for the child.

It has nothing to do with Bellatrix.

Neville then had no objections.

However, this doesn't mean that everyone likes this name.

Professor McGonagall was very satisfied with Meiling.

Her public name is also Meiling Potter, just as she originally intended.

But she felt the name was too long, and it just so happened to consist of 5 parts.

This reminded her of Dumbledore's full name: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.

However, Professor McGonagall only made a sarcastic remark.

Because she knew she wasn't the child's parent.

Harry actually has more to say on this.

This finally allowed Harry and his friends to learn Dumbledore's full name.

Returning to the conversation, faced with Harry's rejection.

Ginny wasn't angry.

She was used to Harry putting his children first.

These days.

Besides studying,

And, without fail, I go to Hogsmeade every Sunday to see the dragons when I have time.

He spends all his time on his children.

Ginny didn't seem to mind.

On the contrary, she was somewhat relieved.

Because even though she and Ron had reconciled.

This also allowed Ron to stay with Harry normally.

But she was still a little wary.

After the child appeared, Harry's attention became focused on the child, and he paid less attention to her and Ron.

Ron's decrease was undoubtedly greater.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Ginny.

And this child can also be considered her child.

After she comes of age and marries Harry.

She is the child's legal mother.

Just as Harry was completely immersed in the role of a father, she also thoroughly enjoyed being a mother.

And you don't have to endure the pain of ten months of pregnancy and childbirth.

However, she did have a suspicion about one thing.

Did Harry experience the pain of childbirth?

Because of the words of Harry's roommates, Ron, Neville, Anthony.

Before the baby was born, Harry cried out in anguish, "No!"

Could this be a dream he had of himself becoming a woman and giving birth to a child?

I finally woke up in pain.

Also, there was that dream she and Ron had before.

Could it be because Harry was upset about her falling out with Ron?

He poured out these negative emotions in his dream to the child or to the 'something' that could have a child with Harry.

Finally, it created that dreamlike experience that could be described as a life swap.

"Harry, let's go together later," Ginny said with a smile.

Harry nodded.

Ron waved his chicken leg. "I want to go too. Is it still in Professor McGonagall's study on the second floor?"

"Or," Harry nodded, "If it were with Madam Pomfrey or Professor Sprout."

They will write to me in advance.

"Oh," Ron said, taking a bite of his chicken leg, then added, "By the way, Harry, don't you find that strange?"

"How?"

"On several occasions when we went there, Professor Riddle was also there."

He's Voldemort, you know! (whispering) When did he become interested in a child? Could it be—"

"What do you mean?" Harry frowned.

"Meiling's birth was too mysterious, and her talent is the same as that of the legendary Merlin. Could this arouse his curiosity?"

He wants to study—"

"Enough! Ron, that's impossible."

His ability to visit the children indicates that he had Dumbledore's permission.

Most importantly, the child seems to like him very much. "Harry's tone became a little uncertain at the end.

There was also a hint of doubt in it.

"This may be related to Professor Riddle's recent changes."

Harry, didn't you say he looked like a human-shaped Unicorn?

Unicorn are attracted to pure and innocent young girls.

At the same time, Unicorn also possess a magic of purity that makes people easily feel fond of them.

"Maybe Meiling sees Professor Riddle as Unicorn," Ginny guessed.

"Perhaps." Harry nodded heavily.

They didn't speak again during the rest of the meal.

Because they were all actually thinking about finishing their food as quickly as possible.

Go see the children.

Twenty minutes have passed.

The three were no longer in the Great Hall.

The crib by the fireplace in the second-floor study.

Harry was watching with a loving expression as Meiling babbled and 'fought' with the Fire Dragon Toy on the bed.

She seemed to see herself as a valiant knight, wielding a sword (pillowcase).

Time and again, it rushed toward the toys on the other side of the crib.

Ginny held the crib steady so it wouldn't sway back and forth with the baby girl Meiling's 'struggle'.

Ron, who was sitting on the sofa,

It stared longingly at the Hungarian Horntail model, seemingly wanting to join in.

As time went by, Ron seemed to realize something was wrong. "Harry!"

I saw what appeared to be a fleeting shadow of a tree in the doll's eyes.

And it's so agile!
