James, Lily?
Hearing Sirius's voice, Harry's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be...
Has this gemstone summoned my parents back?
But that can't be right, at that time I was thinking of making a healthy Annie appear in this room, wasn't I?
Why did it skip over my thoughts...
But if it's true, that would indeed be great, Harry felt a bit secretly happy inside.
No one noticed that Lady Death, standing behind him, revealed a satisfied yet slightly relieved smile.
Whatever Harry wished for aloud, he couldn't deceive his own heart.
Just like in the Mirror of Erised, what Harry truly desires is his parents.
As a child who lost the love of his parents early on, no one could understand his inner sadness and yearning for family.
But...
Sirius encountered a problem.
"Who are you! Why are you in my house!"
That clear and elegant female voice sounded again.
"I am..."
Sirius was crying and laughing, he could no longer keep his composure, now he was sobbing with tears and snot, saying: "It's me—I'm Sirius, Bigfoot... have you forgotten me? Lily? James?"
"You say you're Bigfoot? Impossible!" Lily's voice was clearly filled with disbelief, "Don't try to deceive me, Bigfoot just left our house..."
Lily's words were cut off by James.
"No, Lily." James said cautiously: "He does look a bit older, but he really does resemble Bigfoot... he could be some kind of Disguise Mage?"
"I really am Bigfoot!" Sirius cried out with a woof, "It's 1994 now! It's normal for me to look a bit older!"
Merlin's big shorts, how frustrating!
Hearing the date Sirius mentioned, James and Lily exchanged a glance.
"Lumos (Fluorescent Flickering)!"
James's magic wand lit up, he carefully examined the room and said to Lily: "It seems this is not our house, we might have... suddenly appeared somewhere—if you say you're Bigfoot, prove it to me—he is an Animagus, if you're trying to impersonate him, you should know that."
With that, Sirius transformed, turning into a large black dog as strong as a little bear.
"Woof!" Sirius barked with a grin, his tail wagging like a propeller, thumping loudly against the floor.
Clearly, he was very happy now.
Though he didn't know the exact reasoning, having his good buddy and his buddy's wife back was indeed a joy!
Subsequently, Sirius turned back into human form again.
"This doesn't prove you're Bigfoot." James said with a raised eyebrow.
"Hey, Prongs!" Sirius got anxious, "You once told me, Lily isn't as ( ) hot as..."
Because he was speaking in English, the name didn't get out before James interrupted him.
"Alright, Bigfoot, I knew it was you all along—I was just teasing you, haha!"
The laughter was awkward yet polite, as he was now being stared at sharply by Lily.
However, their attention quickly shifted to the people behind the door.
Harry and Vivi appeared behind the door.
"This is your son, Harry." Sirius quickly walked to Harry's side, patted his shoulder proudly introducing him to James and Lily: "Look, he's grown into a fine young man now."
"Dad, Mom..."
Harry's eyes shimmered, he never imagined he could reunite with his parents one day.
He never thought the reunion would be so sudden.
He was somewhat at a loss, a bit confused, but mostly in disbelief.
James and Lily were clearly taken aback by this news, when they left, Harry was just a one-year-old child...
In a blink of an eye, he had already grown this much, somewhat hard to accept.
The information was so overwhelming that Lily even overlooked Vivi standing behind Harry.
But they were quite happy about it, as it showed Harry was alive and had grown up, proving that Voldemort must have fallen, at least posing no threat to Harry.
"Let's sit over there." Sirius suggested, "I can fill you in on everything that happened... Moon Face?"
"Lupin went out." Lady Perenelle's voice came from not far away, "He seemed a bit anxious, probably had to use the bathroom."
"Alright, thank you, ma'am." Sirius said politely.
In terms of respecting the elderly and loving the young, Gryffindor always did well.
At least he didn't act like Voldemort, punching Wu's Orphanage and stomping on Valley Kindergarten, making anyone above 90 or below nine shiver upon hearing his name.
They all walked into Mr. Leme's Alchemy Room's living room and sat around the table.
"I asked Fiona to inform Dumbledore." Vivi whispered in Harry's ear, "He should be here shortly."
Seeing Harry being so close to such a pretty girl, James displayed an amused expression.
Meanwhile, Lily slightly furrowed her brows, feeling the girl looked very familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
It wasn't her fault for not recognizing her; Vivi had changed her look and was dressed in Muggle fashion, making no one think of the image of that Slytherin girl in the portrait.
Moreover, in Lily's memory, Vivi was always inside the portrait; no matter how she thought about it, she wouldn't connect this girl to the one who taught her Ancient Magic in the Map Secret Room.
