Professor HP is not a pedophile

Early on Christmas morning, Severus accidentally found a small gift box that was not very delicate but obviously carefully packaged among the gifts from the Malfoy family and other professors. What a question to open a Christmas card tied on a ribbon.

The card read: "Dear Professor Snape, I wish you a Merry Christmas! Thank you for accompanying me to see my parents. I don't know how to thank you, so I had to go to the kitchen and make a cake myself. I wrote to ask I passed Draco, and he said that you don't like sweets, so I didn't make it too sweet, I hope you don't dislike it." The signature is "Harry Potter".

Severus raised his eyebrows, once again feeling the difference between Harry and his father, this kid knows how to be grateful, if others treat him nicely, he will immediately respond back, even if he is the person he is so afraid of, He also paid back with all his heart.

He opened the box and saw a small and exquisite chocolate cake, and he knew that it was made seriously.

Severus, who never had a sweet tooth, tasted it with a knife and fork for the first time, and it really wasn't very sweet. The slightly bitter chocolate was very smooth and had a good taste.

Whether it was because the cake was really delicious or something else, Severus actually ate it up and didn't even have to eat breakfast.And he was in a much better mood than ever.

In contrast, Harry was not so happy. All his good friends went home for the holidays, and he was the only one left in the dormitory. When he got up to unwrap presents, he even received an Invisibility Cloak left by his father It didn't make him any happier.

Besides, no one knew who gave the gift. The child sat on the bed, looked at the unfamiliar circle of words on the note, and sighed, "Use it well? I'm fine. Why use the invisibility cloak? I don't want to go on a night tour... Could it be that this person is trying to trick me into going on a night tour?"

The imaginative little guy immediately imagined this scene: he put on the invisibility cloak and went on a night tour, then walked to the restricted area on the fourth floor, and was bitten by the legendary three-headed dog... Or he met Professor Snape on a night tour, and Professor Snape, who was all black like a vampire, suddenly appeared and grabbed him, and immediately deducted [-] points from Hufflepuff...

"Ah!" The child screamed, lifted the quilt and buried his head in like a little ostrich, leaving only a small buttocks and two bare feet outside.

After a while, probably because he thought it was a bit ridiculous, he raised his little furry head, exhaled, patted his little chest, and comforted himself: "Don't worry, Harry, as long as you don't use it Enough."

He climbed out of bed and stuffed the invisibility cloak and the note into the bottom of the suitcase.

In the afternoon, Harry went to the library to return a book. On the way back to the dormitory, Harry was suddenly stalked by Peeves.

"Hahahaha! The Boy Who Lived! Baby Hufflepuff! Come play a game with Peeves!" Peeves was floating in the air, holding an ink bottle and was about to throw it at Harry.

Harry was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. Peeves seemed to be playing with him, hanging behind him for a while, and he ran and ran, and he didn't know how many strange stairs he ran. The ghost went off to have fun elsewhere.

Harry stopped for a moment to catch his breath, only to find himself lost...

The little thing is even more frightened. I heard from Senior Sylvanas that the roads in Hogwarts are complicated, and people who are not familiar with it can easily get lost. There are terrible monsters in many places in the castle!

He bit his lip and drew his wand.In fact, he hasn't learned any attack magic yet, holding the wand is just for psychological comfort.

There were no portraits or ghosts around, so Harry couldn't find anyone to ask the way, so he had to find out slowly by himself.Finally, he came to an abandoned classroom, the only one nearby with the door open.

He went in.

Many tables and chairs were piled up against the wall, forming a large black shadow, and there was also an upside-down wastebasket.However, on the wall facing him.But there is something that doesn't seem to belong here, as if someone put it here temporarily because there is no place to put it.

This is a very imposing mirror, reaching to the ceiling, in a gorgeous gold frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet.The top is engraved with a line of words: Erisstra ahruait Ubi Kafruait en Voges.

He approached the mirror slowly, trying to see his own image, but there was nothing in the mirror.He took a few steps closer and stood in front of the mirror.

He had to cover his mouth with his hand to keep from screaming.He turned sharply.Because he saw not only himself in the mirror, but also a crowd of people standing behind him.

He took a closer look, and the one standing in front turned out to be his parents!

Harry was so close to the mirror now that his nose almost touched his own in the mirror.

"Mommy" he whispered, "Daddy"

They all looked at him and smiled kindly.Harry slowly looked at the other faces in the mirror, one by one, and saw that they all had the same green eyes, the same nose, and one little old man even had the same bumpy knees as Harry.

The mother in the mirror put her hand on the right shoulder of him in the mirror.

Harry looked over his shoulder, but saw nothing.

He sat down in front of the mirror, staring at them hungrily, his hands pressed against the mirror glass, as if he wished he could jump in and be with them.He felt a sharp pang in his heart, half of joy, half of deep sorrow.

Tears fell down again.

"Dad, Mom, I really love to cry, don't I?" He forced a smile, "I'm sorry, you are so brave, but I am so timid, will you be disappointed?"

The parents in the mirror smiled at him.

"I miss you so much..." he said, "How are you doing over there? Professor Snape took me to visit your graves, Mum is so pretty. By the way, Mum and Dad, I'm a Hedge now Patch, I still have a lot of good friends, don't worry about me, I'm doing fine, let me tell you..."

He just sat in front of the mirror and talked a lot about his school life.I don't know how long it has passed, but his family members are still smiling at him in the mirror.

Suddenly, the classroom door that was only opened a crack earlier was pushed open with a "bang", and Severus walked in angrily.

He was really annoyed. During dinner in the auditorium just now, Dumbledore suddenly told him that Harry was missing, and no one who asked Hufflepuff present knew where he was.So it fell to him to find the savior.

He had been searching for half an hour before he found that little thing here.

Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the little boy's face full of tears when he turned around out of surprise. He didn't know how long he had been crying, and his eyes were red and swollen.

Looking at the golden Mirror of Erised again, Severus suddenly understood why the little thing had been sitting here crying for so long.

His anger miraculously dissipated.

"Professor!" Harry stood up in a daze, "Why did you come here? I mean... are you here to see me?" His voice was crying for a long time because of too many words , are a bit hoarse.

"Obviously, the great headmaster ordered me to find the savior who disappeared all afternoon and even missed dinner." Severus said flatly.

Harry lowered his head and said sadly, "I'm sorry, Professor, I have caused you trouble again."

Severus didn't know how to answer him, so he simply walked over and pointed to the line on the top of the mirror, "Potter, read this sentence backwards."

Harry looked up for a moment, then read with difficulty, "What I'm showing... is not your face, but... your heart's desire."

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, but after a moment he lowered his head and muttered sadly: "The desire in my heart... So, this mirror does not show the world after death. I only see Mom and Dad because I want to see you." see?"

Severus' heart twitched for no reason.

"Potter," he said calmly, "this mirror cannot teach you knowledge, nor can it tell you the truth. People spend their days in front of it, obsessed with what they see, and even driven crazy, Because they don’t know whether everything in the mirror is real and possible. If you still cherish the little life your mother left you, you should know that you should not come here again in the future.”

Harry opened his mouth, and finally nodded slowly, "I see, Professor."

His speaking speed was a little slow, as if each word carried a weight of over a thousand catties, making his small body tremble.

"Let's go." Severus suddenly became irritable, grabbed his arm and walked out.

Harry followed his footsteps out silently, not daring to look back once.
