Harry always remembered the warning Sherlock gave him, summoning Lily for only one hour a day to let her chat with her.

After being in the Dusley family for more than a month, even though Harry had been hiding it, Lily was an extremely smart witch herself. From the clues, she obviously discovered that Harry was not living well in her sister’s house.

It can even be said to be very bad.

For this, she did not accuse her sister Penny of anything in front of Harry, but just apologized to Harry with a sad face.

She knew that Penny’s family would vent their grievances against her and James on Harry, and the two families completely cut off contact before Harry was born.

Now the Dursley family is willing to take the risk to accept Harry, which makes Lily unable to say anything to blame. She can only attribute the mistake to herself and James.

Harry was very relaxed about this. He had long been used to the attitude of the Dusleys towards him.

He also came over to comfort Lily and said, at least he is living a pretty good life now, right?

With two friends like Ron and Hermione, as well as elders who love him like Professor Forrest and the Weasleys, now even his mother can always be with him. Harry is not absolutely lucky enough to be so unfortunate, but is lucky enough.

Lily was very pleased that Harry had such an idea. In the more than two months she had been with Harry, she had already figured it out. Although her son’s living environment since childhood was very bad, he did not become a person who complained about the world and gave up on himself.

But at the same time, Lily did not relax her teachings to Harry.

While she saw her son’s strengths, she also saw his shortcomings.

In the quiet Gryffindor lounge, Harry lowered his voice and was whispering to Lily about the re-convening of the Triumph Championship this semester, and said with envy that it would be great if he was old enough, and he might have a high chance of being selected when he signed up.

“I never doubt your ability, Harry.” Lily affirmed, and then her tone became a little serious, “But I still want to remind you that courage is a good moral character, but recklessness is not. When some things can be solved without taking risks, but they have to take that risk, this is the lost Gryffindor wisdom.”

“Your dad was like this at the beginning, so when he and I first met him, he didn’t like him at all. He always liked to do meaningless adventures to show his courage, but that kind of behavior is not praised by people.”

“Real courage is to dare to stand up and face it directly when facing dangers that cannot be avoided, rather than retreating. This is the spirit of Gryffindor.”

Harry’s face was notHe showed some impatient expression, and he cherished every conversation between him and Lily, because the harder it came from, the more he understood the preciousness it was.

Lily said this and her face calmed down again. She smiled gently again, reached out to caress Harry’s hair, and she felt illusory contact with Harry’s black hair, but touched nothing. “That’s not to make you think about retreating when you’re in trouble. Courage is still the noblest character.” “I remember when I was in school, one year when we won the College Cup that semester, and when we celebrated with Professor McGonagall in Gryffindor’s common room, she asked us a question.” Harry asked with a blink of an eye.

“What’s the question?”

“She asked us [know why the Gryffindor students are always the most outstanding and most eye-catching one in Hogwarts?]”

Harry said, thinking.

“Because Gryffindor’s students are the most active?”

Lily’s face was quiet, her eyes were filled with memorials and memories, and she spoke softly.

“Professor said [because everything is courageous!]”
