Professor HP is not a pedophile

When Severus arrived at the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore was in the midst of a lively gossip with Mrs. Lockhart, without the slightest hint of a rush.

"Albus, what you mean by asking me to discuss something is that you want me to listen to you talking about these housewives?" After listening to the scandal about the "Weird Sisters" band for two or three minutes, Severus finally I can't stand it anymore.

Dumbledore looked at him with a smile, "Severus, don't be so serious, why don't you sit down first."

Severus sat down in the high-backed chair that was obviously reserved for himself, and stared impatiently at Dumbledore, "You better hope that what you have to say is important enough, otherwise, the medical wing will never And the tooth potion."

"Okay, okay," Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, "I came to you to talk about the basilisk."

Severus grimaced, "What? What's wrong with the basilisk? The diary has been destroyed, and the diadem is not at school. What else can wake the basilisk?"

Mrs. Lockhart sighed, "Weeds need to be eradicated. We can't keep an eye on the Marauder's Map [-]/[-]. What if that crown controls whoever contacts those Death Eaters and sneaks into the school? Don't forget that they may They have already become Animagus, if they control the basilisk to attack the students, it won't be just causing petrification like you did in your previous life."

"So?" Severus raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me you plan to use Potter's Parseltongue to go to the Chamber of Secrets to kill the basilisk in advance."

"It's really easy to talk to smart people," Mrs. Lockhart smiled happily, "but you're wrong, it's not us, it's you, I'm not included, I said I'm just here to enjoy life, love The adventurous Lockhart only needs one. Mrs. Lockhart wants to stay in a safe place and have a baby with Gilderoy. In fact, you don’t need to call me every meeting, I know I've already told you all."

Severus looked at Dumbledore coldly, "I don't agree."

Dumbledore just looked at him in silence.

"Don't be stupid," Mrs. Lockhart glanced at Severus, "Seriously, Professor Snape, although your story has touched countless people, I really have to say that when you meet someone about Harry Leigh Potter's affairs are really irrational sometimes. Do you think it's enough to protect him all the time? Can you protect him from any danger for the rest of your life?"

Severus stabbed at her with a knife-like gaze.

"That's why it's better to kiss my Gilderoy," Mrs. Lockhart sighed, "Your type of man... I didn't hit you, can you really catch up with the little savior like this... Don't stare Me, do you think you hide it well? The way you look at him is exactly the same as the way my Gildero kisses me! I have already discovered it!"

Severus blushed, and then she said, "I say, it's dangerous to leave the basilisk alone, who knows when it'll wake up and feed in the castle? What if it doesn't need to?" Can the call of the Parsel Whisperer be revived? Are you assured of putting such a danger in the school? Aren't you worried about your little Harry?"

Once again, Severus was deeply convinced that he hated this woman, very, very much.But he couldn't completely deny her statement, so he just snorted indifferently.

Dumbledore knew from his expression that he had compromised, "Then it's decided, Severus, you are responsible for telling Harry about this matter, today is Friday, we have one day of preparation time, tomorrow night Operations will begin after curfew."

So Severus had one more thing that was difficult to tell Harry.If he could, he really hoped that he could keep the little thing under his wings, not let him know anything, and let him grow up with peace of mind.

But so far there is no way.

When he returned to the cellar, Harry was gone, and he didn't know where he had gone.If he remembered correctly, the little thing has no class this afternoon.

Looking at the empty office, Severus suddenly felt powerless.

Harry didn't come back until dinner time.Severus had to go to the Great Hall to see the little thing sitting at the long Hufflepuff table eating dinner.The little face that was always silent when facing him recently now has a sweet smile on it. The little thing looks very happy chatting and eating with his friends, and he doesn't look like that when he was with him at all. Kind of depressed.

Severus was cutting the steak on his plate, and unconsciously poked his knife-like eyes on the poor kid Neville, because his little thing didn't know what topic he was talking about, so he kissed Neville's cheek face.

"Ahem!" Mrs. Lockhart, who was sitting on his right, cleared her throat, tilted her head slightly to him, and said in a low voice, "Slow down, your eyes are going to spit fire, be careful if you scare people." Come on, he won't be able to tell whether you're looking at him or someone else."

"Dear Matilda~" Lockhart who was sitting on the other side of her was dissatisfied, "Don't you think you should care about your husband? Just now you said that I am much more attractive than Professor Snape~"

Mrs. Lockhart quickly broke into a sweet smile, and turned her head to comfort her husband in a sweet tone: "Don't worry baby, no man in the world can compare to you~"

Severus looked away silently, concentrating on cutting his steak as if it had "Lockhart" written on it.

He intercepted Harry directly in the hall after dinner, who wanted to leave with Neville.

Looking at the silent little thing standing in front of him, his heart twitched again, he sighed silently, and said, "Come on, come back with me."

Harry silently followed him back to the cellar.

After sitting down in front of the fireplace, Severus hesitated again and again, but still asked: "You look very bad recently, what happened?"

Harry shook his head, "I'm fine, Professor."

"Potter, no, Harry, I'm your mother's friend, just treat me as an elder and tell me, okay?" Severus tried to soften his voice coaxingly, "I didn't treat you well last semester." Well, it's my fault, I will never do that again, I will take good care of you."

His patience was almost at the limit, and if he continued to endure, he might not be able to control his temper, but thinking about the character of the little boy, he had no choice but to continue to endure.To be able to say these words is already a fight, even he has never been so gentle with Lily.

Harry was silent for a long time, and Severus almost gave up before he heard him timidly say, "Is it really not going to be like that again? It won't be suddenly..."

Severus breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly cut him off, "No, trust me."

The little thing raised his head and glanced at him, with a trace of shrinkage in his eyes, but a smile slowly broke out on his face, and he replied softly: "Yes."

Severus was relieved, and couldn't help but hold his hand in joy, "Then can you tell me why you were unhappy a while ago?"

Harry's little face slowly turned red, and after a while, he lowered his head and said slowly: "Actually, I know you were very kind to me a while ago, but I'm always afraid... no I know when I will make mistakes again, and let you go back to the way you were before...I don't know why you are nice to me...I haven't done this before, so..."

Severus stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms, explaining in a low voice: "It was because I encountered some troubles myself last semester that I vented my anger on you. You have nothing to do with it. It's my fault...you are Lily's child, I should take good care of you." He really wanted to express his feelings, but in the end he could only use his friendship with Lily as an excuse.Harry is still too young to know the concept of "love". If he speaks out now, he will definitely not get the desired result. He can only approach him slowly as an elder.

In fact, Severus also felt that it was ridiculous for him to fall in love with the son of the woman he loved deeply before, and in the end he used that woman as an excuse to close the distance between the two of them... But look at being held in his arms obediently Little things, he felt that even so, he would be happy.

Harry said in a low voice: "Actually, you don't have to do this. You don't have the obligation to take care of me. Even if you are my mother's friend, you don't need to worry so much about me."

"Not just for her, Harry," Severus said with a smile, "You're a good boy, and you take care of you because you like you."

"Huh?" The little thing opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Like me?!"

His eyes were full of surprises, and he asked happily, "Really? Because I am a good boy, and you treat me well because you like me?"

Severus rubbed his head and asked with a smile, "Yeah, why are you so happy? Didn't anyone tell you that they liked you? Didn't Draco and Longbottom either?"

"Yeah!" The little thing nodded vigorously, "It's the first time someone said they like me! Draco and Neville didn't say anything either! I must let them make it up! And Aunt Narcissa always told me to say that she likes her, She never told me herself!"

Severus looked at him in high spirits, and couldn't help but rubbed his messy hair again, "Okay, no one is allowed to be sad secretly in the future, and you must tell me directly if you have any troubles."

The little thing smiled and nodded in agreement.
