happy life?strange

Severus opened the door suspiciously, only to see two strangers standing at the door.The good-quality flowing robes without the slightest pleats, the slightly raised chin, and the polite but detached smile, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the grown-up version of those little wizards in Slytherin.

"Hello, is this the home of Severus Snape?" The tall, brown-haired wizard asked proudly. Glittering, the wizard's attitude, as if standing in this place stained his feet, and talking to Severus lowered him.

Severus nodded politely, "Yes, may I ask who you are looking for..." Before he could finish speaking, the person next to him looked as elegant and noble as a goddess but also as arrogant as a Greek goddess on Mount Olympus The female wizard suddenly let out an excited scream, and her hands tightly covered her chest, as if she was about to be suffocated by surging emotions.She sprinted into the living room very rudely, not even noticing that she had slammed Severus against the door frame.It hurt, and Severus immediately covered his arm.

She rushed in front of Vidi, and stopped hesitantly, her slender body was trembling, as if she was looking at it carefully, as if she was in disbelief and ecstasy, her hand stretched out and retracted hesitantly, as if to confirm Are people illusory, or do they have to experience the boundless despair after waking up from a dream again?Then, as if confirming the reality of the person in front of her, she hugged Vidi tightly in her arms.She whispered sincerely, "Phoebe, my Phoebe, I finally found you." The warm hug was as panic and concern as fearing that the most beloved child would leave her side again.

Severus stood blankly at the door, looking at the warm picture of mother and child in the living room, unable to respond for a while.The man next to him glanced at him secretly, and then raised his chin proudly, "Mr. Snape, I think it's very impolite for you to let guests stand outside the door, although I don't expect you to have a higher standard of etiquette .”

"Ah, I'm sorry, please come in, please come in." Severus greeted the visitor into the small and simple living room in a daze. "Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"I think the drinks here may not be able to meet our minimum needs. I want to settle the matter as soon as possible." The wizard frowned and looked at everything around him contemptuously. While bowling white porridge, he snorted mockingly and contemptuously.

"Excuse me, who are you?" While paying attention to Vidi's situation, it was a pity that the lady's angle skillfully covered Vidi's figure completely.

"I'm Roxie Zabini. That's my wife, Odette Zabini. I think you should know why we're here." Mr. Zabini looked at Severus coldly , looking carefully at his clothes, because Severus had to cook early, he was still wearing old blue cotton pajamas that had been washed and slightly faded.Under Mr. Zabini's critical gaze, Severus tugged at the wrinkled hem of his clothes a little awkwardly.

"I guess, you're Viddy's relative?" Severus asked bravely.

"I am his father, and, besides, he is not called Vidi by such a vulgar name as a commoner, he is my son, and his name is Valente-Louis Eugène Zabini. Please, Snape Sir, be careful not to call the wrong name, it will be a kind of contempt and provocation to our nobles." Mr. Zabini replied coldly with squinted eyes, his tone was full of impatience, his inorganic eyes seemed to reveal After Severus was speaking to another person, Severus was generally regarded as transparent.

"Father?" Severus asked again, doubting his ears

"Yes, Odette, is Phoebe alright." Ignoring Severus' question, Mr. Zabini directly turned to ask his wife who was still hugging the child tightly and was caught in various complicated emotions.

"My poor little Phoebe, you have suffered a lot over the years." Mrs. Zabini took out a light yellow silk handkerchief with dark patterns and wiped away the big drops of tears. Viddy's body was a little stiff He leaned against her side, expressionless. "You have lived in such a shabby place for so many years, my poor child. You should wear the softest silk and eat the most exquisite food. You are obviously the most important and only heir of the Zabini family" See Wearing the little frog pajamas on Viddy, Mrs. Zabini cried even more sadly. The crystal tears flowed down unstoppably, and even her voice was choked up. The expensive diamond tiara on her head seemed to be dimmed with sadness.

"Okay, Mr. Snape, if you have no questions, I'm going to bring my child back to his life." Mr. Zabini didn't even look at Severus, tapping his exquisite cane The ground, said extremely impatiently.

"Mr. Zabini, how can you be sure that you are... his father?"

Gray-blue eyes stared at Severus, "You don't believe it? You doubt the words and deeds of nobles? Phoebe, am I your father?" Mr. Zabini raised his voice and turned to Vivian with a bit of anger. asked in Di's direction.

Severus looked at Viddy, and watched him slowly, slowly, nod.His heart also sank to the bottom of the lake following Vidi's tiny movement. He seemed to be lying down in the mud at the bottom of the lake, looking at the calm sapphire-like lake surface, unable to get up again.

"You...Little Mr. Zabini." Severus squeezed the words out of his mouth with difficulty. "You, already remember?"

Viddy pursed his lips and nodded.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't realize it. I'm really sorry, Mr. Zabini." Hearing Severus' bitter words that didn't fit his heart, Viddy's anger surged up, and he didn't know whether he should Should he vent the boredom in his chest on his two superb acting subordinates or should it all be poured on Severus.

"Mr. Snape, you won't doubt it now." Mr. Zabini pulled a smirk from the corner of his mouth. "Of course, if you still have doubts, I can also use blood magic to prove our blood relationship."

"I'm here to congratulate you on finding your child." Severus forced himself into a happy congratulatory smile, and he didn't know that his smile was uglier than crying.

"Thank you. We didn't expect that a little rival in love would take my child from Germany to England and let him suffer such harm. This is our thanks to you, although, I don't think you took my child Your child is well taken care of." Mr Zabini contemptuously threw a carved brass box on the dining table "We have an account with you at Gringotts, and in it is our thanks. I trust what's in it It should please you very much."

Severus didn't look at the brass box, he just watched Viddy stand up with his mother's arm. "Thank you, Mr. Zabini."

"I want to know, Wei...whether his illness can be cured."

"This is a family matter of the Zabini family, and you don't need to question and ask." Mr. Zabini's tone became more and more irritable, and he was extremely unwilling to say one more word to Severus, one more word.

"Okay, I don't want to stay here any longer. Odette, take Phoebe out first. It's too poor here, and I don't want to stay any longer." He looked at Vidi's pajamas, his face "Forget about this outfit, Odette, I'll change it for Phoebe as soon as I get back to the manor, and just burn it. It's too polluting our aesthetics."

"Yes, dear." Mrs. Zabini helped Viddy past Severus.

Watching Viddy walking towards the door step by step, Severus suddenly wanted to say something.

"Vidy" Severus whispered his name, and Severus' call was more unreal to Vidy's ears than the sound of the wind.Viddy didn't seem to hear Severus' call at all, and without turning his head, he walked out of the door relentlessly without stopping.

"Mr. Snape" Zabini's words got Severus's attention back.

"Mr. Snape, you must know that Phoebe's life with you for a few years will be a stain on him in the future. As the heir of the Zabini family, it is impossible for him to mix with you, such a poor man. Therefore, I I will forget about him. As for your words, I hope that I won’t hear you call out something like Vidi when you meet my son. Otherwise, the consequences are not something you, a poor man, can bear.” Throwing coldly After these threatening words, Mr. Zabini left without looking back.

Severus stood there blankly, watching Mr. Zabini walk up to Viddy's side, watching him take Mrs. Zabini's hand, the sun shone through the shade of the trees on the three of them sparsely, The picture of the family of three is warm and charming, and there is no corner where other people can insert themselves.

Then, it was gone, gone, the courtyard was empty, only the swing stood there lonely, the grass in the courtyard grew lush and arrogant as high as the calf, bees and butterflies were flying and circling, some weeds had already begun to secretly eat away at the swing that clearing.Tomorrow, Severus thought, weeding, otherwise, when Viddy came out, those weeds would itch his calves, and if the bugs bit him, he would have to rub him for half a day at night.Or, go next door and borrow the lawnmower tomorrow.

Outside the courtyard, the postman humming a pop song was easily stuffing a thick white envelope into Snape's mailbox.

"Viddy, the porridge is going to be cold..." Severus habitually turned his head and wanted to tell Viddy to eat breakfast quickly. All he saw were two bowls of plain porridge without heat on the tablecloth-covered table. The table is very simple, the familiar chair has disappeared from the trace of the child who has been smiling and clinging to him. Instead, there is a brass box on the dining table.He walked to the table, picked up the small and exquisite box, and after opening it, he saw a small golden carved key lying quietly on the red velvet cushion.

He remembered Mr. Zabini's words again, Vidi will be forgotten, then, he should have completely lost this brother, because even if they meet again, that person will no longer be his Vidi , and will no longer have his memory.If the life with him is really a stain on Vidi's life, he will stay away quietly forever.

First, it is best not to know each other, so you don't have to remember each other from now on.

Severus walked slowly to the table and sat down silently. He picked up the completely cold porridge and drank it spoon by spoon. He ate without saying a word, it was too cold, the porridge had solidified a little, and a translucent film had formed on it, the taste was really bad, Severus felt that he couldn't drink it.Severus's whole heart was cold after drinking two bowls of porridge, it seems that he cooked too much breakfast.The house was very quiet, not even the wind, and Severus suddenly felt how the house was so big, so empty, and so silent.

Outside the window, the days are long and the days are quiet.

Starting today, he no longer needs to prepare meals for two people...

Starting today, no one will wait for him to go home...

Starting today, he is alone again...
