Chapter 989: I'll turn someone into a ghost for you to play with right away
Caught off guard, Alan was shocked, his pupils condensed, and he howled a little unvividly under the inner hair and surprise, and then the whole person bounced off the chair and took a few steps back.
"Boom!"
The figure of the woman in front of her fell directly from the TV, fell to the floor in the house, and then crawled towards Alan at a faster speed. Frightened, Alan finally remembered that he could do magic, and he hurriedly raised his hands to cast a spell.
The black-haired woman climbed a few steps and straightened up, she stretched out her hands and pulled all the hair in front of her head, revealing a slightly stunned face - Alan realized that the other party was his daughter Helena.
Helena's footsteps paused slightly, she was a little puzzled, and she looked straight at Allen, a little helpless - she recalled the horror that had just appeared on Alan's face, which made Helena's mind flash the expressions of the freshmen who had seen their ghosts at the beginning of their first year......
Helena lowered her head, grabbed the placket of her clothes tightly with both hands, bent her knees slightly, and after performing a court etiquette to Alan, she apologized slowly and in a low voice: "I'm sorry father, I didn't mean to scare you, I'm really sorry." ”
Seeing Helena's aggrieved appearance, Allen, who had already reacted, was instantly filled with guilt, and he frowned and hurriedly responded: "Don't be careful, Helena, I thought it was...... I'm sorry, I don't know if you heard of it when I was in my third year, but the Boggart showed that the thing I feared the most was the female ghost in the Muggle movies..."
Helena lowered her head: "Father, are you usually afraid of ghosts?"
"Of course not! Dad is afraid of a female ghost, not a female ghost!" Alan hurriedly waved his hand, his eyes rolled to the thought of words, "It has nothing to do with you, just like in the past, when your mother was still dark-haired, there was a time when it was easy to get up in the middle of the night with a cloak of hair, and I was awakened by her movements, and I bumped into her appearance before I was conscious, and that situation also scared me a lot..."
"This skill that crawled out of the TV was a new method of teleportation that my mother taught me to show my father. Hearing Alan's explanation, Helena's hand finally let go of the placket and stopped ravaging it, "When I got in from there, my materialized hair wasn't tied up and hit the mirror frame, falling out and covering my face... There's no way to sort it out when it's teleporting..."
Hearing that Helena could teleport from so many places, but Luna chose to let her crawl out of the TV to show herself, Alan suddenly knew in his heart that all this was Luna's prank - when she faced Boggart in the third grade, Boggart turned into the image of Gaco, which made Luna know that she was most afraid of Muggle female ghosts, so she deliberately taught Helena to do so.
"Uh... Helena, this teleportation skill of yours is very useful! you can go wherever you want in the future... You've done a lot of things that no other ghost can't. Seeing that his daughter originally just wanted to show her mind, Alan did not hesitate to praise herself, and then asked with concern, "Except for crawling out of the TV... I just noticed that you meant to come in through the mirror... So what else can it use as a medium?"
"Well, in addition to mirrors, there are glass, and a pool full of water..."Helena saw that her father was interested in her new skills, and her voice rose slightly, "You can just have a mirror in your room and you don't have to drop it... But why did my mother want me to crawl out of the TV..."
"Helena, this is your mother's deliberate prank on me... She's definitely watched those transcribed Muggle movies..."Alan explained, in fact, he still enjoyed the feeling of playing a little prank with Luna from time to time, but he just thought that Helena should not be involved, so he deliberately exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Hmph, I'm going to give her some color today! I'm not going to sleep in her room tonight!"
Helena wasn't amused by her father's funny appearance, she looked at her father a little blankly, she didn't understand why he suddenly said such a thing, she felt that her parents' way of getting along was different from the couples on the TV series she watched with her grandmother.
Alan, who was a little embarrassed because of the quiet scene, noticed Helena's doubts, and remembered Helena's expectant look at the bridal bouquet at Lupin's wedding before, and he felt sorry in his heart, and his daughter, who had not experienced this kind of emotional life, naturally couldn't understand this emotion between him and Luna.
Feeling that he didn't care enough about his daughter, Alan slowed down his voice and asked with some curiosity, "Helena, what was your life like when you were a student at Hogwarts?"
"I didn't have any friends at school, and even if I did, sooner or later they would hate me, and I understand them... After all, the professors obviously preferred me because of my mother's relationship, and many people approached me because of my mother's relationship. Helena stood there, her gaze unwavering, as if she were not talking about herself but an indifferent person.
"Helena, when I was a pure student, the professors favored me, maybe just because you were a good boy?" Alan responded, "and you're so beautiful, there must be a lot of people who really like you." ”
Not my father, I have good grades, but not because of my own relationship... They praised me when I got it right, they praised me when I got it wrong, and more than once I deliberately forgot to hand in Professor Bonnie's assignments, but she never blamed me for it... Every professor is like that, they all spoil me. I knew from a young age that it was all because of my mother. Helena shook her head, "Sir Barrow, for example... It's Barrow, the House of Slytherin, the Ghost Blood, and I remember staring at me all the time when I was eating for weeks... When I went to the library, he pretended to meet... Even though I've told him that I'm not interested in him, he's still doing it... And he especially likes to show this in front of my mother..."
It wasn't clear what Bloody Barrot liked Helena Allen at the time, in fact, he had barely seen each other at school, but he knew that he had killed Helena because he was manipulated by Ravenclaw. Because this matter is more sensitive, after thinking about it, Alan gave up explaining to Helena that suicide and becoming a ghost were mostly reasons for his own choice.
"Even when I became a ghost, generations of students haunted me, either for a good score or for the crown that would increase the wisdom of the wearer. Seeing that her father was silent, Helena continued, "I once met a boy who was very likable and seemed to be... Seems to be very empathetic... Very sympathetic..."Helena tilted her head, she closed her eyes, and said in a somewhat nostalgic tone, "With his company, life is no longer boring, and he is willing to listen to my heart... Sympathize with my situation and come and chat with me when I have free time... But in the end... His goal was to get to me and gain my favor as much as anyone else's, but also for his mother's crown. ”
"Helena, there are people who are very good at using rhetoric to confuse others in order to achieve their own ends. But it doesn't mean that everyone is so utilitarian. Alan said softly, he knew that the person Helena was talking about was Tom Riddle, but because his daughter was bluffed by the other party, Allen couldn't help but feel fat, beating this little hooligan second-rate son who was much older than himself.
"Father, when I didn't know you were my father, when I met you when I first entered school, you made me feel like... It's as if you've seen another him, and you can make yourself charming when you need to... That's why I thought you were approaching me to get the news of the crown from me. Helena's gaze looked at Alan.
Helena's words made Alan laugh a little, and he changed the subject: "What about your mother?"
"My mother was very busy, she wrote and drew on parchment every day, and she often went away from home and never came back, and I told her about my troubles, but I had no way of telling if she was listening or not. Helena paused, she looked down at the hand that had just been held by her father, "I always thought that my mother didn't understand my troubles, that she never understood me. Because at that time, she was the same as you just now, always telling me, no... My mother told me in a more perfunctory tone that the professors were so tolerant of me only because I was a good boy and it had nothing to do with her... But at that time, it was clear to me that people admired the surname Ravenclaw, that no one admired me as a person, and that I was stubborn that even my mother was the same, and that I was just another trophy for her... I even tried to snatch the crown from her head in an attempt to get her attention, but she calmly told me that the crown would only bring me bad luck. ”
"Your mother often doesn't seem to care, but she's actually listening, she's just dealing with too many things at the same time..."Alan defended her daughter for Luna, noticing Helena's calm tone when talking about the past, Alan said, "I'm sorry Helena, I was absent from your growth..."
"I really didn't understand you... The main thing is that I don't understand my mother, because I didn't know who you were at that time, father... My mother said that I was the most important person to her, that I was her pride, but her tone was obviously deliberately perfunctory... I only thought that the Ravenclaw crown had made her forget what family was, and that the crown had brought her knowledge but had brought me bad luck......" Helena continued as she looked into Alan's eyes, "...... Don't worry, Father, I know it all by now, if Mother hadn't done it, I wouldn't have seen you now, and I know you're loving me in your own way..."
"Helena, you are much more reliable than me and your mother..."Alan remembered that at Lupin's wedding, Helena obviously wanted to participate in the bouquet grabbing event, but because of her ghost identity, she could only watch other people have fun, and said in a deep voice: "Helena, I promise that in a few years, you will be able to show yourself more casually without caring about anything, and you will definitely be able to grab the bouquet if you want..."
"Father, I'm not..."Helena, who was a little startled by Alan's words, shouted more undignified than usual, and then whispered a little shyly, "Father... I just wanted to go up and have a hand, but I didn't think about it... Married..."
"Of course it's not for you to marry, it's for the other party to get married!Helena, whoever you like tells Daddy, I'll immediately beat someone into a ghost for you to play!" Allen teased her daughter with a pretended seriousness.
