[HP] Mrs. Snape

Andrew started school, he is a primary school student today!This is a big deal!

However, on the way to the first day of school, Andrew was a little sullen.

"Andrew," Alya parked the car, lovingly stroking the child's delicate face, "Mom will always be by your side."

"Well, thank you mom." Andrew said with his head down, buckled the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, took his mother's hand and walked to the school gate, watching the students coming and going, many of them were the same size as him, but almost everyone was with their parents , Some even mobilized the whole family of older brothers and sisters, looking enviously at the child who kept posing in various poses at the school gate, and his father was smiling at him with a camera.

"Andrew, Mommy's baby." Arya squatted down and hugged the child, "Daddy's school is also open, he, he has to take care of those children. Missing today, Dad will be very sorry."

"No way," Andrew said in a low voice, "he doesn't like Andrew anymore."

"How could it be?" Arya quickly comforted the child, "Andre is the person Dad loves the most in this world!"

"But he ignored me for several days." Andrew was aggrieved, "Several days!"

Something seems to have happened to Snape recently, and he has ignored Andrew's shouts in front of the double-sided mirror for about a week, without even a reason.He promised early on that he would come to Andrew's opening ceremony, but he was nowhere to be seen. Although Snape had a bad temper, he was not a person who broke appointments. Arya was shocked and frightened, but she couldn't show it in front of the children. come out.

It took a long time for Andrew to feel better. After watching the child go to the professor with his schoolbag on his back, Arya reluctantly returned home. The first thing she did after returning home was to go to the attic.

The attic is now the home of Romeo the owl, fluttering his feathers and cooing on a shelf that Andrew had built for him.

"Romeo, send this letter to Severus Snape, be sure to deliver it to him, and then make sure he writes back?" Seeing Romeo spread his wings and disappear into the air, Arya was very worried. , hope nothing happens.

The reply was received by Alia when she was about to pick up Andrew in the afternoon. At that time, she had already picked up the car keys and was ready to go. She quickly untied the letter from Romeo's lap in the hallway, and said, "There are pine cones in the kitchen, go to them by yourself. eat."

Snape's letter was simple, "I'll see you when the frogs croak three times." It didn't even have a name signed, and Arya flipped the parchment over and over, and there was none.

what happened?Did something happen?Without even writing the time to meet, Arya suddenly heard the things written in those old daily prophets, and her heart beat wildly.

Three times the frog calls refers to the clock in Andrew's room, which is a magic clock specially given to children by Snape. Three times the frog calls out to indicate that Andrew must go to bed, and then the clock will automatically play some soothing music, as well as the music in the room. The lights will gradually dim.

However, why couldn't he write his reply in a fair and honest way?All afternoon, Arya was restless.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, the mother and son finished dinner. On the first day of school, Andrew reacted flatly. He was not particularly happy, and even a little depressed. He told Alia that he had finished reading the textbook today, and he knew almost everything. Any challenge, the only happy thing is Michael and his class.

Let the child take a bath by himself, and then change into pajamas by himself, which was forced by Snape, saying that Andrew had grown up and it was time to learn these things, and Arya could not be allowed to spoil the child.After the frog clock blew three times, the lights in Andrew's room gradually dimmed, and quiet light music played in the room. Andrew fell into a deep sleep after a while, and his work and rest were very good, except for a little sleepiness in the morning.

Arya repeatedly made sure to lock the door of the child's room. Snape said that he had cast a spell in Andrew's room, as long as the door was closed, Andrew disagreed, except for Arya and him, no matter who drank the compound soup No wizard can enter.

"Bang bang bang," came the knock on the back door.Arya, who was standing in front of the fireplace, jumped up suddenly, "Who!" she shouted anxiously.

"It's me, Arya, Severus Snape." A familiar voice sounded from the back door.

Arya quickly ran to open the door, but she was startled when she pressed her hand on the doorknob. How could Snape knock on the door?Doesn't he always come straight from the fireplace?

"Hey, honey, why are you back so late?" Arya backed away quietly, her tone full of coquettish complaints, but the expression on her face was serious and vigilant.

The people outside the door seemed to be stunned, and they didn't make any sound for a long time. Just when Alia was looking at the stairs and thinking about the location of her small gun, some helpless voices came from outside the door: "Ai Leah, but it's me, Severus Snape. The ice cream I hate the most is lemon flavored, and, a week ago, a button on my shirt fell off, or did you remember?"

Well, she remembered, opening the door cautiously, Snape shook his robes and walked in.

"Very well, being vigilant is never a bad thing." Snape glanced at Arya, and said in a flat tone.

Alia blushed, she just wanted to test it out.

"Is Andrew asleep?" Snape walked into the living room and looked at the second floor and asked.

"Well, I'm already asleep." Bringing him a cup of hot tea, the two sat on the sofa, and Alia asked, "What's going on? I haven't been able to contact you for the past few days. Andrew is very anxious."

Snape held the teacup and said nothing for a long time, and Arya didn't make a sound, just looked at him closely, he seemed embarrassed.

"Is Andrew disappointed today?" Snape asked in a low voice after a long time.

"Well," Arya didn't think about covering up the fact, he did disappoint Andrew! "He has been looking forward to attending the opening ceremony with you. You, what happened to you?"

Snape's Adam's apple trembled violently, and he murmured, "Dumbledore knows."

"Dumbledore?" After a while, Arya remembered that Dumbledore seemed to be the headmaster of Hogwarts and Snape's superior, "Got it? What does he know?"

"He knows Andrew's existence!" Snape raised his head suddenly, almost growling.

Arya was taken aback by the distorted expression on Snape's face! "So? This? Does it matter?" Snape's superiors knew about Andrew's existence. Was it important to him?Or was Snape trying to keep the baby hidden?

Arya stared at Snape, who was trying to be calm but still restless, with wide-eyed eyes. He seemed to have no reason to explain this, but he just pursed his lips tightly, and his hair covered his eyes, letting Arya see Can't see his eyes.

"You, don't you want people to know about Andrew's existence? Severus? Especially the wizarding world?" Arya asked slowly and tentatively.

Snape glanced up at Arya, but still didn't speak.

"Do you think Andrew's existence is disreputable to you, and will even affect your career development?" Arya tried to suppress the anger in her heart, and said calmly.

"No, of course not!" Snape immediately vetoed without the slightest hesitation.

"Then your superior knows about Andrew, does it affect you?" Knowing that Snape still thought about Andrew, Arya breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice became soft again.

"Dumbledore is not just the headmaster, he is... Forget it, I will contact you less in the future, and you should not send letters with owls lightly, it is good for you and Andrew." Snape seemed to have made up his mind , said in a blunt tone.

"Why? Is it because of the mysterious man? Or because of Dumbledore?" Arya asked suddenly.

Snape was jumped by Arya, he jumped up from the sofa, Arya barely saw his movement, in the blink of an eye, Snape's wand was already pointed at her forehead, only heard He roared, "Who are you? How do you know that!"

Well, it seems that it really has something to do with this matter.Arya sighed, gently removed the wand that was on her forehead, and said to the alert Snape: "Mr. Johnson's second-hand store has a lot of interesting things, including old newspapers and magazines. Not to mention five or six years ago, even 30 years ago. Severus, you don’t think that I didn’t make any preparations, so I rushed to take Andrew to a world that I don’t understand at all? Not only do I know The Mysterious Man, the Death Eaters, I also know Harry Potter, and I also know that Dumbledore is not only the headmaster of Hogwarts, he also defeated Hitler-Grindelwald in the wizarding world during World War II, and has been dealing with Voldemort..."

"Don't say that name!" Snape shuddered and growled at Arya.

Arya was taken aback by the fear on Snape's face, she looked at Snape's distorted expression in surprise, not understanding why.

Snape was short of breath, inhaling and exhaling suddenly, it seemed that Arya's name without warning reminded him of some bad past, his eyes went blank, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Severus, I, I don't know, I, do you need some water?" Arya said, looking nervously at Snape's frightening expression.

"No, thank you." Snape had regained his composure. Although his face was still pale, Arya quickly got up and poured him a glass of wine. Snape took it but didn't drink it. of liquid.

There was silence in the living room, neither of them spoke, their heads were lowered, thinking about something.

"Since you already know these things, I don't need to say any more, please tell Andrew, then I will go first." Snape got up and was about to leave.

"Wait, Severus!" Arya quickly stopped him, "I, you can't do this! Although I don't know what Dumbledore has to do with Andrew's existence and your staying away from Andrew, but, Severus Si, please don't do this to Andrew, please? You know how much he cares about you! There are problems we can solve! We are friends, aren't we? At least, at least for Andrew, for our son! Don't abandon him so easily Please? Please, Severus, please, Andrew can't live without Dad."

Snape's whole body was stiff, and he stared fixedly at the tearful woman in front of him. It was very strange that she looked so weak at the moment, but he felt that she was so powerful. This was a mother, a woman completely different from him. A mother who would do anything for her son, he believes that if he steps out of the house like this at this moment, Arya Dashwood will do anything to keep her son from being sad Forced him to submit.

Snape sat down again, the dim light flickered in his dark eyes, but his face remained calm.

Taking Arya Dashwood's glass again, Snape didn't refuse this time, and poured it down with his head up. It seemed that only under the anesthesia of alcohol could he muster the courage to face the next mother who had become a cub guard. Leopard mother.

"Severus, can you tell me what kind of person Dumbledore is?" Strangely, Arya, who had calmed down, asked such a question.

Snape glanced at the woman who had disguised himself as a gentle sheep. For some reason, the nerves that had been tense for the past few days relaxed a little. He heaved a sigh of relief, and said lightly, "He is considered to be the most Great wizard."

This almost unspoken answer did not make Arya angry. She paused and asked: "I read an article about Dumbledore, which said that he had rejected the nomination of the Minister of Magic many times. Voice The highest one was after defeating Grindelwald, and the most recent one was when the mysterious man disappeared and said that he would rather be the headmaster of Hogwarts than the Minister of Magic. Is what he said true? "

"Yes, it's true." Snape suddenly seemed to be interested in Arya Dashwood, looking at her intently, as if expecting or preparing to be disappointed.

"Oh, then he should be a very strict person. Are the students and teachers very, um, afraid of him? Or must they all obey his orders?" Arya continued to ask.

"No, on the contrary, Dumbledore is very amiable to most people, like Santa Claus!" Snape sneered, "Many people think that Dumbledore is stupid and crazy .”

Arya smiled, and said with certainty: "Then he must be very attractive, especially the students. Even if some people don't like him, at least they understand his strength and ability, and they can't help but rely on him. Yes or no?"

"Yes, almost everyone is like that." Snape couldn't help putting on a strange expression on his face, and Arya watched him calmly, and said quietly: "But you don't like him, and you are even on guard against him." Is he?"

Snape said nothing this time, and looked at Arya quietly and motionlessly, with his eyes blank.She smiled slightly, as if trying to coax an unstable Andrew, and continued softly: "Severus, I know you have many secrets, and I don't want to explore these secrets. What have you done before? I don't care what kind of identity I have, I only care about the present and the future, you can continue to be the father Andrew expects as you have shown in the past."

"I'm here to protect Andrew!" Snape heard Arya's tone of blame for himself in recent days.

"Of course, I know, but at the same time, you also made Andrew sad." Arya still had an expression of "you didn't do it right", "I trust you, Severus, although your past identity may It will pose a certain danger to Andrew, but, after all, that mysterious person has disappeared, and it is said that he was defeated by a one-year-old baby. However, you are the greatest wizard in this world, and actually defeated two demon kings—— Dumbledore's subordinates are working, and they seem to be doing a good job, so can I believe it," Arya paused, leaning her upper body, staring into Snape's eyes very oppressively, and continued : "You work for Dumbledore, at least in some way, now or in the past?"

Snape's face was expressionless, his eyes were empty, he wasn't sure if the person in front of him was really the Arya Dashwood he knew or thought he knew, her tone and demeanor told him that she knew far more than that , or even more, did she really just deduce this information from a few old newspapers?No, it's impossible!She can't even use a wand well, and she doesn't have as much magic knowledge as Andrew!

"Yes or not? Answer me please, Severus." Arya said in a soft but irresistible tone.

"Yes." Snape looked at the still weak and beautiful woman in front of him with a complicated expression.

"Look, that's easy to handle. Instead of worrying about the unknowable future, we should take good care of the present." Arya seemed to have confirmed something, sat back on the sofa, and thought for a while before asking: "Then How did he know?"

"I don't know." Snape shook his head, "Maybe I guessed it from my whereabouts in the past year, maybe he already knew, you know, Arya, in Hogwarts, almost nothing It can be hidden from Dumbledore, as long as he wants to know."

Arya smiled, and she had already sketched out a figure with about [-]% to [-]% appearance in her mind, but she still needed some information, she raised her head and downed the wine in the glass, and said happily: "Since Dumbledore already knows , why don't we invite him to dinner?"

"What?" Snape exclaimed in surprise. "Do you know what you're talking about? You're crazy! That's Dumbledore! You think he's Santa Claus with the white beard!"

Arya was amused, waved her hand and said, "Of course, of course not, Severus, calm down please? Of course I know he's not Santa Claus, he doesn't have reindeer!"

Arya's attempt to liven things up fails, earning a "you're stupid troll" look from Snape.

"Severus, you actually understand that according to Dumbledore's behavior, he would not hurt Andrew, right? Especially when Andrew is a five-year-old child."

Snape admitted this, but he couldn't guarantee it [-]%. After all, he once trusted this person, but what he brought was use and disappointment.He dare not take any more risks, especially now that there is Andrew.

"Trust me?" Looking at the pained Snape, he seemed to recall something from the past, and the expression on his face was about to cry. At this moment, he was extremely fragile, like a soul that could not find an end, Dazed and helpless.

"Trust me, Severus." Arya put her hands on Snape's cold hands, and looked at Snape with firm but tender eyes. "Trust me, I will take care of this, I will not separate you from Andrew, and I will protect Andrew from anyone, believe me, Severus, I can do it. Invite Dumbledore Can you come to my house as a guest? I can't change the past, but at least, I promise, things can develop in a good direction."

Severus Snape stared intently at the woman in front of him, for the first time, the first time a woman shook his hand and told him, don't worry, she'll take care of these things, strange woman, isn't she?But, at that moment, looking into those green eyes, Snape nodded, and he agreed.

Two days later, Dumbledore accepted Snape's dinner invitation in his office, "It's just a casual meal, you don't need to prepare anything special, just me, and my family." Snape said in a blunt tone that Ellie He felt a kind of pleasure in Dumbledore's few surprised expressions, even though Dumbledore quickly returned to the kind expression that made him sick.
