Chapter 124 - Sorry...

Cloudy sky...

Somewhere around Hogwarts. A little white-haired boy laying on the ground looking at the cloudy sky.

This boy was so calm, so silent, not doing anything, just kept staring at the clouds silently with a pair of bright silver eyes, that looks so deep and quiet.

The boy raised his hand and looked at it, calmly as if trying to feel something...

"Fear..." The boy said this and lowered his hand then sighed helplessly.

It has been some time since the Boggart accident... At this time, Gray finally managed to completely calm his heart when seeing the scene from his memories.

Naturally, he won't hide from it... And to understand what is happening he needed to overcome his weird emotions first...

Living creatures are adapting beings... He kept watching the scene from his E disk memories almost every day till finally, he managed to adapt to its feeling, and didn't feel so emotional as before.

Besides, the strong impulse didn't appear again like that day, so he was able to overcome his emotions little by little.

At the same time, he found many problems in his own life that he didn't realize before... Or more like..., he was ignoring them... Which also made him feel weird... These propbelms are not normal problems that can be ignored normally...

And for these problems, he will try to find an answer when he goes back to the main world... Even though he doesn't have much hope of finding an answer...

As for the scene... the few figures... that was standing emanating sacred air...

After thinking for a long time, he linked them with something he saw before...

The sacred feeling from them was similar to the beings he saw from the memories the crown showed him in the fourth awakening...

But what's still bugging him is that woman he saw...

Which finally dropped him in a new doubt...

"Eyes... are the window of the soul... and soul... is the mirror of the body... While the heart is the bridge between..." Gray said this while looking at the clouds.

He's thinking of what he knows and tried to understand what is happening to himself...

He has some understanding of the soul and body connections, which he realized from the dark shadow source...

Besides the many books he read in this world also gave him a wider scene...

So.. after remembering the feeling that day... And linking all that he knows, he came out with those few words...

He knows the source of all this anger was actually from his own soul... Not something else showing or confusing him...

And his heart only reacted to it...

While there is a very good reason to believe in this...

"Gray..." While thinking Perona's face appeared in his vision.

"..." Looking at Perona's round eyes, Gray paused for a second and smiled helplessly.

Perona saw Gray staying alone again, and felt annoyed.

Those days Gray didn't talk too much to her so she's really annoyed.

".... What?" Gray saw Perona only kept staring at him and asked with a smile.

"Hm...." But Perona didn't answer him, and actually turned her face away...

Seeing her reaction, Gray's mouth twitched.

He knows why she's acting like... Those days he totally ignored everything... Even the plot progress he didn't look at. Nor he tried to gain anything, just focused on the memories, and used all his energy trying to adapt to them.

And as a result, Perona probably felt ignored... Knowing her personality, she will really feel like this...

"Perona..." Gray thought for a second and tried to call her... He should apologize probably... It's not a nice feeling to be ignored for a long time like this, especially from someone you care about...

Hearing Gray words... Perona glanced at him but then turned her face back again...

Well ... she's acting like a grumpy cat now ...

Seeing her reaction, Gray stood up and walked in front of her. Then lowered his head to her level and closed his face to her, while looked at her eyes directly.

"You..." Seeing Gray is so close to her like this, the round eyes of Perona panicked, and her face blushed.

"Well... Sorry about those few months... I had to solve somethings and didn't pay attention to you... Forgive me princess" Gray smiled at her and said.

"Hm... Good thing you know..." Hearing Gray's apology, Perona forgot that Gray face is close to her and suddenly became arrogant. but the smile on her face shows how happy her mood hearing his words.

In fact, she's not really angry about this, after all, she also felt Gray's mood that day... For him to be so calm like this all those days is actually pretty normal, but she doesn't like it.

And she doesn't like seeing him staying all alone, even more, she knows how much Gray grieved those days... But he didn't even share it with her...

And more importantly... She can't take it anymore... It's already the second half of the damn year, she was worried that Gray will stay like this for even more time...

Yes... Gray sink on his emotional problem for a long time, that the second year already... and even about to end!

So Perona's twisted mind acted this way...

Seeing her reaction, Gray's mouth cracked a smile.

Well... he's really the wrong one here...

"Sorry Nagini, I also didn't talk much with you those days..." Gray smiled and said to Nagini who's hiding in his hair.

With his words, from his hair, a white snake ao white just like his hair color appeared and got bigger while wrapping herself around his neck.

If it wasn't for the golden lines and the wings, other will think she's a part of his hair...

Nagini didn't say anything and rubbing her face on Gray's cheek showing her mood. She stayed with Gray all the time, and already know how much Gray paid to overcome his emotions...

Almost every day will face them and try to control them till finally reached the calmness of today. She knows that Gray didn't talk to them all this time, because his mood wasn't suitable to talk...

It's almost torture for him...

Gray took Perona's hand and walked together back to Hogwarts.

Now that he came back to normal... He should focus on what he really should do for the time being... Other problems will be left to their time... Anyway, thinking alone can't answer what he wants to know...

Besides... He really wasted so much time... He wonders where the plot reached... Many things should have passed...

'Anyway, it's not that important' It's really not so important, even if he missed something, he can find it in another place anyway...

What annoyed him, is that he wasted all those days extraction chances... Usually, he will extract anything... A random bad attribute has many random useful ways to use... A simple stone attribute [petrifaction] saved his life before... And even if he didn't use them himself, he can use them as a sacrifice to create other attributes...

Perona looked at Gray holding her hand and smiled brightly. She can see that Gray really came back to normal... Which made her very happy...

...

Walking back to the school, the air around still somehow cold, but the ground already green.

The winter already passed.

While walking with Perona, Gray noticed that some students around looking at him with fearful eyes from time to time.

Well... For this Gray didn't think too much, since he already knows what is happening here.

After that day there were some rumors that it was him who attacked everyone. For the normal students to be attacked by Haki is really a scary thing... Which also made them fear unconsciously.

But still to be watched with fearful eyes isn't so comfortable...

So Gray looked at the few girls who looked at him with fear and greeted them with a gentle smile.

Which directly captured them with his cute smile.

As said before... only some students were scared of him... After all... Gray is so cute!!! In the students' minds... Gray is so cute to be the impo... attacker.

Both girls or boys will blush when they see him. Gray with his long and thick hair and the black crown looks so cute...

And Gray himself knows this... So he simply used this advantage... He's not someone who likes to be feared by everyone around, nor he's a lonely person by nature... So it's better not to scare the kids around, and act friendly will be much better.

While walking, Gray felt something and stopped.

'Huh? Already reached this point???' While walking, Gray felt something on his observation range and stopped.

The plot actually reached that point...

"Perona... wanna see something unusual?" Gray thought of something and said.

"Unusual? What is it?" Hearing Gray's words, Perona asked.

"Come" Gray smiled and didn't answer, but took her hand and run into Hagrid house direction.
