[HP] This deer is not a deer

Extra Story 7-04

After the wedding, Snape and Harry quietly adopted Arnold.

Their lives are fairly quiet. Although there are occasional gossip outside, it doesn't really affect their actual life.Arnold felt a little uneasy about such a happy life at first, but as he lived a normal and comfortable life, he finally settled down in this comfortable and warm home.

Another year passed.

Arnold is a year older.

Arnold, who was originally gloomy and cautious, has also become better at expressing his emotions, and he is not as silent as before.

But Arnold was still a sensitive child.

The dull blond hair became brilliant and dazzling, and the otherwise malnourished skin revealed a healthy rosy color.Especially those beautiful blue eyes make Arnold look like an angel.

Harry really thought their lovely adopted son would grow up to captivate countless ladies.

There are more and more things in this house, there are the cauldrons piled up by Snape, and the rows of broomsticks that Harry bought back, there are Arnold's new books, new clothes, and the extra things make the house messy When they got up, they still had to work at their jobs, and they occasionally quarreled with each other for their mistakes, and they quarreled on the bed.

The next day, Harry collapsed on the bed with Snape in his arms, motionless.

What they were arguing about has long been forgotten.

The life of the three people in this family is a bit messy, Harry is always busy with work, and Snape also needs to work, the energy they put on their children is always limited, and Snape is definitely not a good teacher .

Fortunately, Arnold didn't need much attention from Snape and Harry. Arnold was quiet, hardworking, and well-behaved.

After staying at home for a long time, Arnold also discovered that his two fathers were very busy.

There will always be a situation where he is alone in this family, but Arnold is very good, and he thinks it is very good.

Of course, Harry and Snape occasionally put him in the Weasleys' house, which had more children, after all.Arnold was a bit cringe-worthy at first, but after going around a lot, he actually liked having someone to play with.

Snape would give him a lot of homework, but Arnold never complained.Even when encouragement from his Severus dad was rare and rare, Arnold worked hard.

He could learn so many useful things from these things that Severus' father taught, and Arnold gradually liked these things about magic.

Oh, and potions.

Sif's father told him that potions were a wonderful thing, although Harry's father was not very good at it.

He will quietly show his achievements to Harry's father to claim credit, although his tricks are always seen through by Sif's father.But Harry's father still gave him big hugs and encouragement.

Therefore, Arnold, who has learned a little calculation, still likes Harry's father the most.

……

Occasionally, Harry and Snape argued again.

Afterwards, they got stuck together again... Whenever this happened, Arnold, who was already familiar with the Burrow, strongly urged to live in the Burrow.

When he came back from playing happily, Papa Sif and Papa Harry quarreled again.

Arnold said it was very calm.

The next morning, Arnold found Papa Sever and Papa Harry 'fighting' again.

The record is that Papa Sif won. ——Arnold calculated based on the marks on the necks of the two.

……

Arnold is another year older.

Harry's father disappeared from time to time. When he got up this morning, Sif's father was black again.

Arnold occasionally felt a little pitiful for his father Sif.This made Arnold secretly condemn Harry's father in his heart, although he still liked Harry's father the most.Arnold thought deeply in his heart.

Papa Sif would stare at the cauldron and forget about everything, always writing esoteric academic papers (handsome though, Arnold decided to work on it!), and Papa Sif would piss off Papa Harry.Sif's father also worked overtime, but not as long as Harry's father, nor as much.And Papa Sif and Papa Harry 'fight', Papa Sev always wins.

So it's best for Harry's father, Arnold nodded in his heart.

Also, Arnold thought to himself, if Harry's father is on vacation, without Sev's father at home, Harry's father will have more time to play with him, and secretly let him ride a broom or something!Although, if caught by Sif's father, the consequences will be dire.

Harry's father and Sif's father are actually very affectionate.

Occasionally thinking about it this way made Arnold shy.

Papa Harry and Papa Siv were always 'fighting' at night, as evidenced by the many bite marks on Papa Harry's neck, as well as Papa Siv's neck.

...so intimate.Little Arnold was always looking forward to thinking in his heart that one day he would find such a partner who could do intimate things with him... Harry's father belonged to Sif's father.Although Arnold knew that Harry's father liked him very much, Sif's father was like a monster.Arnold thought so in his heart.

They have a good relationship~

This kind of life is actually very happy when you think about it.One day, Arnold was gurgling and enjoying hot milk tea. Harry's father finished working overtime and he was on vacation.A breakfast drink specially made for him in the morning.And... Arnold was sneaking eyes at Papa Harry, and Papa Severus had 'fighted' with Papa Harry again last night.

Who told Harry's father that he was always busy with work.Arnold thought so in his heart, Sever's father is actually quite handsome, and everyone doesn't like to offend him (the Weasleys ran away when they saw him, and they occasionally bullied Arnold==Arnold always felt that Sev's father He's looking for a place).Unknowingly, under the guidance of the father of the two pit kids, Arnold seemed to have grown naturally... crooked.

"Your milk, Sev." Harry, who didn't understand what Arnold was thinking, spoke, and took a sip of milk by the way.

"I prefer coffee," Snape said.

"There's only milk in the house." Harry grinned and kissed Snape a greasy kiss, and Snape turned his head to let the kiss fall on his lips, and then licked away the wet taste Harry had made on purpose.

Arnold silently bowed his head to drink the milk.

"...I'm sure you don't want to make coffee." Snape licked the taste off his mouth in disgust, and said in distaste for Harry, "The poor savior is not even skilled in household magic."

Harry didn't bother to pay attention to Snape, their chairs were so close together that Harry almost half leaned on Snape, arguing, "I bought a machine for making coffee beans, that doesn't use magic! And you can drink milk."

Snape was squinting at Harry.

Arnold looked up, reminding them of his presence, "Daddy Harry, your neck."

"Mosquito bites," Harry coughed.

"You guys fought again yesterday." Arnold said seriously, "It's not good to fight too much, Harry's father, don't always make Sever's father angry."

Harry silently turned his head to look at Snape, who was grinning happily.

……

In a blink of an eye, Arnold was 11 years old.

At this time, Harry also became more mature, more stable and peaceful, while Severus was still so tricky and mean, but the gloom deeply condensed on his brow became much calmer.

Living comfortably made Severus look younger.

Only Arnold's growing up speaks clearly of the passage of time.

In the past few days, Harry's father went on a business trip again, and Arnold condemned Harry's father's disregard for his family in his heart.After getting along for so many years, Arnold gradually discovered that the stern and stern father Sif is actually very good.

Although Papa Sif was always the best to Papa Harry.

At the age of 11, Arnold already looked handsome, and he somehow learned a cold face from Severus, making him look like a grown-up.

It made the aunts who liked him (Mrs. Weasley, etc...) giggle, and it made the younger Weasley girls blush, and they would whisper about the serious but really pretty brother...

Speaking of which, Arnold's face was covered in blood.

Back then, he was also a little cute, but the consequence of this was that he was constantly pinched in the face and abducted by various strange aunts.

After a long time, Arnold finally found out that something was wrong.

He-not-not-likes this! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

But his soft and cute appearance can't stop these weirdos at all!Thus, Arnold unconsciously admired his father Severus.Unknowingly, Severus became little Arnold's first learning target.

When everyone found out that something was wrong, little Arnold had become a small copy of Snape.

Except... she is too cute to look like.

But he always keeps a straight face.

Arnold told everyone with actions, go away!He has grown up! ╭(╯^╰)╮Refused to pinch my face.

Cough, of course, Harry also suddenly discovered this problem through Ron's reminder.Harry thought about it seriously, Arnold is still so cute?It's just a bit of a fart, but fortunately Arnold didn't follow Snape's squinting at people——

By chance, Harry looked carefully at Arnold's stern face, and Harry found it strange that Arnold didn't look like this at home.Hmm... Harry continued to think, did Arnold mature too early... Arnold, who was worried by Harry's father, groaned in his heart, he has always been mature!

...Compared to the group of brats in the Weasley family, he is very mature.

The 11-year-old Arnold straightened his back silently.

Arnold has been flipping through his Hogwarts admission letter for the past few days. At this time, Arnold looked exactly like an ordinary child, and he couldn't hold back his expectations for Hogwarts.Because before that, he already knew from the conversation between Harry's father and Severus' father, what a wonderful place Hogwarts would be.

This made him look forward to it.

It's just that, these few days, Harry's father has been on a business trip again, and he hasn't come back yet.

Arnold thought to himself, Gryffindor is good - if the Weasleys are all little devils, but it seems that Slytherin is also good?Sev's dad is a Slytherin.But Arnold knew that Slytherin might not be suitable for him. It is said that Ravenclaw is also good, and Hufflepuff is said to be the friendliest... Which one should he choose?Where will it be divided into?

Arnold had been fantasizing about it all day.

Another day passed.

The next morning, Arnold woke up in a daze and found that Harry's father had finally returned.

And Papa Sev seemed to be in a good mood, too.

The yawning Arnold came to the kitchen, and Harry's father was secretly kissing Severus' father again.Arnold thought silently, in fact, Severus wanted to kiss Harry's father very much, but why didn't he do it himself?

...Everyone knew Papa Siv actually wanted to kiss Papa Harry.Arnold's eyes were sharp, and he began to slander Sif's father, whom he promised to admire.

Until Harry's father kissed his forehead too, the corners of Arnold's mouth curled up, and Severus glanced at him.

"Arnold, are you going to buy your new back-to-school books today?" Harry asked.

"I've already bought it in advance." Arnold followed him and asked nervously, "...Where will I be allocated? What if I don't get allocated? Will I be sent home?" He was actually a little panicked as he spoke, The unease in Arnold's heart is gradually increasing, even if he wants to appear calm.

"Don't worry, as long as you are a wizard, you will be divided." Harry smiled, comforting the unconfident Arnold and said, "I was also worried back then, but only little wizards will receive the letter, and receiving the letter is equivalent to Hogwarts Students will be accepted soon, don't worry."

Arnold's heart dropped, and he said with a rosy face, "I want to go to Ravenclaw."

That night, Arnold is still thinking excitedly, he is now 11 years old.Before he started school, he could ask Harry's father to play Quidditch with him, although he was still too young... maybe secretly.

He is going to school.

This made the 11-year-old Arnold restless.

In the evening, Arnold saw Harry's father come out of Sev's father's potion room with red and swollen lips.

Oh, Arnold blinked, and they made out again... Arnold nodded in a mature and understanding heart, then turned to look at Sif's father next to him with a happy expression... Wait, Arnold's eyes moved back to Harry's father, Harry What is Dad doing with the hat on?

As they were sitting at the dining table, Arnold looked and looked, until Harry's father accidentally showed his fluffy pointed ears, Arnold suddenly remembered this matter.

The moon is full again today.

Arnold stared at Harry's dad, and Harry muttered, "This hat is too much trouble," as he cut the steak. He tore the hat away, and Severus stared at Harry sternly.

"What does it matter?" said Harry. "It's just us."

Arnold nodded, peeking quietly into Harry's father's ear...his cheeks flushed slightly, and Severus squinted at Arnold, who lowered his head wisely.

But he wondered vaguely, would his future be as good as Harry's father and Sif's father?For a lover like Harry's father and Severus' father who have a good relationship, he hopes that his (her) self will be like Harry's father...

Or like sister Hermione?Arnold bowed his head silently, blushing secretly affirmed that sister Hermione was beautiful and handsome.He thought to himself, well, Harry's father is so unreliable.

Arnold began to look forward to growing up.

---

The next day, Arnold was sent on the Hogwarts Express by Harry and Severus.They met Ginny, who was also married, and Longbottom, and Draco Malfoy, and the noisy platform steamed.

Harry smiled, pulling Severus to wave to Arnold on the train.

Until the shadow of the train completely disappeared, Harry quietly took Severus home.

Without little Arnold's home, it became a little bit empty.

But Harry's vacation is here, and he's snoring on his belly, snoring comfortably on the couch, without worrying about any image at all.

This was what Severus saw when he came down from the stairs.

He stepped forward and picked Harry up, who woke up instantly.

But he just rubbed against Snape's arm and continued to close his eyes comfortably.Harry didn't open his eyes until Severus laid him down on the soft bed, and he sat up and ruffled his short, messy black hair.Harry yawned, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with ease, "Arnold is off to study, and we are free during this time... Do you think we should go on a trip? A trip for two?"

"If you haven't forgotten that I still have a job, I'm not sure the Ministry of Magic will approve the holiday." Snape broke Harry's illusions again, walking out of the bedroom, his potion still brewing.

Harry, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, scratched his head, and followed Snape into the potion room.

Snape was stirring the cauldron, and Harry was lying on the side of the door watching him, and it wasn't until Snape stopped that he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well," said Harry, "it does."

He held out his hand, holding a small bottle in his hand.

"It's yours...I seem to keep forgetting to give it back to you," said Harry.

Snape took the vial Harry handed him, the pale blue liquid in it swirling.

It was the memory he had left for Harry.

Snape put the bottle full of memories in his pocket, reached out and rubbed Harry's face, and was pushed away by Harry.

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to play Quidditch with Ron for an afternoon, so you can continue to brew the potion." Harry muttered.

Snape raised his eyebrows and said, "Afternoon, four o'clock."

"I know." Harry kissed Snape on the cheek, "I'll be on time."

Snape nodded, and went back to tending the cauldron.

The family fell into silence, which allowed Snape to concentrate on making these complicated potions. It wasn't until around four o'clock in the afternoon that Snape looked up. He looked at the potion that was steadily boiling, and let the automatic stirring rod stir it.Finally freed from looking after the cauldron, Snape turned his head and decided to go downstairs for a drink.

Before he could go out, he suddenly thought of touching the bottle in his pocket.

Snape picked up the bottle of memory, opened the sealed vial, and waved his wand, allowing these memories to slowly flow out through his temples as directed by the wand, and the liquid in the bottle was slowly decreasing... until the bottle was empty, Snape Nepe's hands stopped slightly, and he stuffed the empty bottle into his pocket.

He walked out of the potion room, went downstairs to the hall, and just happened to be Harry, who was still covered with dirty dirt, and excitedly threw himself at Snape, who disliked him very much. Dirty and sweaty, he reached out to push Harry away, but Harry still deliberately hugged Snape tightly.

Harry nuzzled in his arms, and Snape snorted and said harshly, "If you rub your dirt and sweat off me again, Potter, I think you and Weasley's etiquette needs to be renewed." Study, maybe Hogwarts will welcome you, and after that, I can deduct 100 points from Gryffindor."

"Of course. The premise is that you still have to go back to Hogwarts to teach." Harry grinningly approached Snape with his wet hair, and was held hostage by Snape and thrown into the bathroom.

After the bath, Snape held the warm Harry contentedly, rubbing his chin against Harry's clean hair.Holding Harry comfortably, it was time for them to go to dinner.

"What's for dinner tonight? I think dumplings and dim sum are very good recently."

"Eating out?" Snape asked.

"Okay." Harry agreed, and they went back to the bedroom, where Harry started rummaging through the wardrobe.

……

"I hope you're not trying to mess up your whole wardrobe, Potter, the clothes you're holding are mine."

"But you've never worn one," Harry emphasized.

"Don't you think your clothes are too big?" Snape looked down at Harry who was sitting on the ground.

"Indeed..." Harry scratched his hair.

"...if you'd like to wear it at night, maybe it's good." Snape squinted appreciatively, Harry took off his clothes to reveal a smooth back, and beautiful smooth muscle lines, Snape ignored it and spared no effort to create The devastated Harry just stretched out his hands and rubbed his black hair, which was not limp at all.

He stepped over Harry, reached into his pocket and took the empty memory bottle that had once held it, and placed it beside the bed.

The empty bottle rests quietly on the edge of the mirror.

"I think this dress is a bit tight, I'm fat." Harry whined.

Snape looked down at the bottle for the last time, then turned to Harry, who was still wearing his hood, and said, "Maybe it's just that you've grown a little taller."

Still struggling with his clothes, Harry asked, "Is there?" He didn't notice whether Snape answered or not, and Snape just looked at Harry quietly, with a look in his eyes that Harry didn't notice. the profundity.

"Should I buy some more clothes?"

"You have a lot of clothes."

"Is there?" Harry asked, continuing to struggle.

"...Your clothes are on the wrong side." Snape finally spit out a sentence.

Harry stared at him and said, "You should have told me!"

"I thought it was your new fad," said Snape, "too bad it seems so stupid."

"Don't talk about me, take off that wizard robe for me! Sev, don't stand still." Harry finally got dressed and changed into a Muggle costume. He pushed Snape and said, "You You haven't changed your clothes yet."

Snape lowered his head and kissed Harry on the forehead who was walking in front of him. Harry was surprised, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," he said.

Harry blinked, and stepped forward to hug Snape deeply, chests, stomachs, arms pressed against each other, deep in the embrace.

"You're a little strangely tender today," Harry said softly, kissing Snape on the cheek.

"Illusion." Snape covered Harry's eyes, and kissed Harry's forehead lightly... The returning memory was still clearly flowing back in the depths of Snape's mind, deeply engraved and deeply rooted in his bones.

Maybe Harry didn't find out, and Snape wasn't going to tell Harry.

In that last drop of memory, behind the silence and darkness, there is a vague and fleeting scene.

Just a sunny memory.

Harry was still at Hogwarts at that time, there were other girls around him, and the sunshine made Harry's smile real and distant.And he watched Harry from afar.He cared, it was like a sharp needle falling on the heart, it was tightly hidden inside, and he couldn't look down... Those suppressed feelings clearly emerged from the bottom of Snape's heart at this moment, even though Snape Nep was reluctant to admit these foolish emotions.

And this image remained clearly in Snape's mind, not only because of the distance and jealousy, but also because of... Harlem's smile, and the sunshine that melted into him.

Nice and quiet.

He once thought it didn't belong to him.

……

"Let's not talk about that, Snape, what do you think of this dress?"

"I don't know when you bought me a piece of green cloth, or do you think it would be nice to dress like a frog?"

Ten years have passed.

He and Harry have both been married for ten years now.

Perhaps they owed everything to Harry. At this point, Snape rarely admitted that Gryffindor's impulsiveness was not without merit.

Most of the time though, Snape only admitted that it was a nuisance.

"this?"

"Potter, you're thirty today."

"But we didn't wear couple outfits." Harry said seriously, "Look at the white one, it just has a little bear, it's not hard to accept...Although I also think it's a bit childish..."

"I'm curious how many moths you've had in your mind over the past ten years to make you..."

"You've been with me for ten years, let's try - Severus!"

"..."

"very nice."

"Shut up, Potter."

The author has something to say:

There's a small episode to continue.
