[HP] Mrs. Snape

That morning, Arya and Andrew were sitting on the rug in front of the fireplace reading a book. Since he went to San Mungo once, Andrew likes to ask questions non-stop. He is impressed by every detail he saw in San Mongol. Hobbies, bottles floating in the air, figures that suddenly disappear or appear suddenly, all kinds of grotesque people, and a small wooden stick in each hand...

After Arya told Andrew that she knew nothing about that strange world, Andrew fell in love with all kinds of magical stories, such as Peter Pan, Alice's Adventures... I don't know many words, and Arya studied listen to him.

"Mom, mom!" Arya was frowning and studying a thick stack of financial statements. This month's investment income was a bit unsatisfactory, and it was less than what Arya originally planned. When she looked up, she saw Andrew pointed Shouting out the window.

"What?" Arya turned her head to look at the window. "Uh, my God, an owl!" It was an owl!The dusty feathers are flapping their wings and making a "slap" sound on the window.

"Don't owls only appear at night?" Arya said following Andrew, who was already excited and had rushed to the window.

"It's not necessarily all the owls." Andrew has already stepped on a stool and climbed onto the desk under the window, staring at the owl parked in front of his window through the glass, his little face is about to close embedded in the glass window.

"Andrew, step back, be careful of the cold." Snowflakes were falling outside, and although the room was very warm, it was still a little cold on the glass.

Andrew seemed not to hear what his mother said, and stared at the owl, then frowned, wiped the white mist on the glass with his arms vigorously, and suddenly said loudly: "Mom, it wants to come in!"

"What?" Arya supported Andrew from behind, feeling warm to the child's childish words, "Honey, the owl is just tired and wants to rest for a while, nature is where it belongs, ah, no!"

Arya's smiling words stopped abruptly, and the owl kept tapping the glass with its hooked beak, and stopped after a few knocks, as if waiting for someone to open the window to let it in, and turned its head to look at the scenery in the window. Arya and Andrew, seeing that they hadn't moved, started knocking again.

"Mommy, look at his legs!" Arya looked up. Yes, there was indeed a package under the owl's legs, and the owl was holding it tightly with its sharp claws.

"Andrew! Stop it!" Arya was still in a daze, and Andrew had already got up and opened the window. The wind and snow blew in, and Arya couldn't help shivering, and quickly pulled Andrew into her arms Here, the window was quickly closed, and the owl came in with the wind and snow.

Arya watched dumbfounded as the grey-headed hawk lifted a foot, shivered, and cooed, as if urging Arya.

While Arya was in a daze, Andrew had already squatted on the desk and unwrapped the owl's feet.

"Mom has a letter!"

"Huh?" Alia was in a daze, and quickly took the parchment roll that Andrew handed over, unfolded it, and the small and dense handwriting appeared, "Dear Miss Alia Dashwood, the books you need are attached. Sincerely, Severus Snape."

Arya unwrapped the same dusty package, "History of Magic", "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century", "Magic Theory", "A Piece of Hogwarts History", "Standard Spells, Elementary"... Well, just reading the title of the book gives me a feeling of ambiguity.

"Ah", there was a tingle in her hand, the owl was pecking at her hand, as if she was very unhappy. "What are you doing!" Arya got hit several times in succession, a little annoyed, and scolded angrily.

"Mom, is it hungry?" Andrew slid off the table, stomped, and ran to the fireplace to take a few small biscuits and put them near the owl's mouth. Sure enough, "bang bang bang", the owl began to peck at the biscuits.

"He's so smart!" Andrew looked at the owl fascinatedly with starry eyes, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but Arya stopped it in time.

An owl that delivers letters?Ah!Arya felt that it was best to be cautious before knowing whether this matter was the norm in that magical world!

After eating a piece of biscuit, the owl spread its wings and began to "bang bang bang" pecking at the window again. Well, Andrew didn't need to tell her, she also understood that she was going to leave.

Under Andrew's reluctant eyes, Arya opened the window and watched the gray owl disappear into the snow.

"Mom, is this the book you bought?" After lying on the window and watching the owl disappear, Andrew turned his attention to the book that was almost as tall as him beside him. He just saw a small book. How come there are so many small packages all of a sudden?

"No, baby, it's, uh" Speaking of Snape to Andrew, Arya hesitated, she wasn't sure she was going to tell Andrew that Snape was his father, "It's Mommy please Snape The magic book bought by Mister." Forget it, let's wait a while.

Hearing that it was a magic book, Andrew was very interested, and quickly climbed into his mother's arms. The mother and son sat in front of the fireplace, flipping through each book amidst the "cracking" sound of burning firewood.

Most of the books Snape helped choose were theoretical books, which were very suitable for Arya, who knew nothing about the wizarding world. Andrew asked his mother to read to him at first, but he was not interested after hearing it. It's too boring, lying on my mother's lap and flipping through the book with more patterns, and then I was surprised to find that the patterns inside can still move!

The mother and son leaned head to head again and studied the patterns in those books together. The leaves of those plants swayed with the wind; Grass plants, when Andrew touches them, close their leaves tightly; and some animals, when poked, make a sound, which amazes Andrew and Arya...

In the next few days, the mother and son spent almost all their time on these few books. Alia swallowed through more than a dozen books, and then felt that her worldview seemed to be reshaped.

There really are wizards!Not human fantasy!As for magic, wizards call it a gift from Merlin. Those who can use magic must be wizards, but wizards don’t necessarily know magic. Wizards have their own schools and their own hospitals—of course, she has already been there, and their own magic Ministry - equivalent to a cabinet-like existence...

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the wizarding world, when she brought her children to San Mungo again, Arya was able to look calm. At least she already knew that she could enter San Mungo without a wand!Because it is mentioned in the book that St. Mungo once cured some "Muggles" (although Arya dislikes the tone of wizards referring to ordinary people), not the one that Snape said that only wizards with wands can enter !Obviously he was playing tricks on her that day!

After taking Andrew to the hospital twice, Dr. Vincent told Arya that Andrew's magic power had stabilized, and it was enough to come back after Christmas. Of course, it was still necessary for the little wizard to come to the hospital for regular physical examinations when he was young. .

Arya is overjoyed by this, and realizes that she needs a wand!

A wand is almost another life for a wizard.Adult wizards don't have magic wands, and they can hardly use magic power. Every time she enters and exits St. Mungo, Arya deliberately stays in the crowded hall for a while. She listens carefully to the conversations of those wizards, and doesn't let go If she didn't understand any details, she would write them down secretly, and then go home and flip through the book. Arya wrote down the content that was not in the book in a notebook, waiting to write a letter together to ask Snape.

In just three short meetings, of course, the first time was three years ago, Arya found that Mr. Snape was obviously not a very patient person, he seemed to be full of malice towards the world, whenever he had the opportunity, he Will be willing to satirize anyone he can hit!

She thought that Snape's attitude towards her was already bad enough, but after seeing his attitude towards that young Mr. Barber that day, Arya realized that Snape still restrained himself and Andrew. Gbagbo is still his student!God knows how Snape became a professor. If he is like this to every student, then Snape does have some excellent abilities or talents that ordinary people can't match, and people ignore or are willing to put up with his terrible Temper, or, it can only be said that the principal and other professors of the magic school are too kind and friendly!

Now, Arya plucked up her courage, and finally handed out a tactful, polite, and even flattering letter, asking him if he could spare some precious time from his busy schedule to lead her to buy a wand and books. ——She has already read all the previous books. Of course, if it doesn't work, she would be very grateful to tell her how to buy it.

After putting the letter into the mailbox, Alia let out a deep breath. She was so nervous that even when writing to this person, she felt extremely nervous. set.

She could feel that Mr. Snape was very dissatisfied with her interruption, and she would not want to get in touch with Snape if she wanted to. Regardless of his temper, the fact that he was Andrew's biological father made her avoid him.But now, the only person she can request is him.

Of course, Arya can try to find someone who is willing to help her in the only magical world she knows—Saint Mungo, but she is faintly aware that wizards are very interested in "squibs" and "Muggles"—that is, After the exclusion and even discrimination of those without wands, Arya still felt that it would be better to be more cautious. At least, she knew a little about Snape, no, Professor Snape.Moreover, Arya didn't feel malicious towards him, and he was a little at a loss for Andrew and her, although his attitude was indeed very bad.

Three days later, Arya received a reply. Of course, it was still delivered by an owl. This time Arya was much calmer. She had figured out that the owl was the postman of the wizards, although Arya still felt very strange.

Ignoring the jerky sarcasm in the letter, Arya concluded that the honorable Mr. Snape would be waiting for her at Charing Cross Road at two o'clock this Thursday afternoon.

Arya is not going to take the child this time, she doesn't want Andrew and Snape to meet more, now that everything is unknown, and Snape's attitude towards Andrew, Arya can't spy on it, and put the child in Susan's place. , even though Andrew was very unhappy, she insisted on doing it.

This time, even though Arya had arrived twenty minutes earlier, Snape was already there waiting.

Seeing Arya, he even looked behind Arya, and after finally confirming that Arya was alone today, Mr. Snape's sallow face became even more gloomy.

"Follow!" The black robe made a ripple as he turned around quickly.

Arya quickly trotted and followed Snape step by step. Today, he did not slow down.

"Huh?" Entering a dimly lit bar, Arya quickly looked around while following Snape's pace, what?here?This was the pub on her first day in London, where she had met Snape!

At that time, she thought there was a makeup party here!It turns out that this is the wizard's bar!

Snape didn't stay in the shop for the slightest, and quickly walked around the bar and walked towards the backyard.

"Look out!" Snape said sharply, and then he tapped his wand on the wall quickly, and the bricks avoided one after another, and there was an entrance that could accommodate a person, while Arya was still observing whether there was any mechanism , Snape's figure had disappeared at the entrance, and Arya had no choice but to follow quickly.

"Wow!" Standing in Diagon Alley, Arya's thousand words can only be turned into a "wow"!

Snape seemed very proud of Arya's shock, and his gloomy face eased a little, and he even pointed to the shop beside the Cobblestone path and said to Arya: "This is the Patchy Crucible Shop, here is It's the Owl Shop, I think Dashwood might need an owl, don't you? After all, not every letter has to lie in the hall waiting to be found!"

Well, Arya shrugged secretly, is this complaining about her sending him letters through the postal system?But who would have an owl!Aren't you afraid that animal protection personnel will come to your door?

"Well, how about going to buy a wand first? I think this seems to be a must."

Snape's face darkened again, and Arya felt that he seemed to dislike others' refutation or rejection of his opinions.But he'll have to get used to it, won't he?Arya shrugged inwardly, pretending not to see it.

Ollivander's Wand Shop, Arya delivers yet another "wow"!

Snape left her alone in the shop again and disappeared.The owner of the store is a gray-haired old man. When he learned that Arya had never owned a magic wand, he was only slightly surprised, and then enthusiastically offered a large box for Arya to choose.

pick?Originally, Arya thought she would choose the style she liked, but in a mood full of guilt, a small fire broke out in the old man's shop, and after two shelves full of wands collapsed, Arya finally took the When it came to his own wand, pine wood, nine and three-quarters long, the core was unicorn hair.

I fondly caressed this wand, so strange, there was a feeling of spiritual connection, I just picked it up and waved it under Ollivander's gesture, even though Arya didn't know any spells, she was just thinking about causing trouble for the old man Unexpectedly, with a wave, the collapsed shelf stood up again, although the boxes were still scattered on the ground.

It cost eight Galleons, which is the kind of gold coin that Snape gave to Andrew at that time. Arya didn't know what the price was here, so she just brought the money bag.

Walking out of the wand shop, there was no sign of Snape anymore. Arya felt that it didn't matter if she explored the new world. After all, she also had a wand now, and she wore the same cloak as the wizards, didn't she?

"Gringotts?" Arya looked at the crooked white building in front of her, listening to the people coming and going in her ears discussing that the group of goblins are not easy to mess with, and that the number of Garen in the treasury was too small for Christmas. If you are a human being, you understand that the building in front of you is the only bank in the wizarding world controlled by goblins as mentioned in the book.

I hope there is an exchange business, Arya thought as she stepped up the steps.

Sure enough, pounds and galleons were completely exchangeable, and the exchange rate made Arya almost unable to hold back the elegant smile on her face with excitement, one galleon was exchanged for five pounds!For a moment, Arya felt that her decision to learn about the wizarding world was too wise!Think about multiplying your income by five, what a happy thing this is!

Of course, the goblins look a little... well, not as beautiful as imagined, and Andrew will definitely be disappointed when he sees them.

He exchanged the five hundred gold coins in his purse into British pounds, and worked up the courage to open an underground vault. After all, it feels a little unsafe to carry so much gold with you or hide it at home, doesn't it?

Holding the newly bought pink flannel anti-theft purse and dangling on the street, in less than half an hour, Arya's arms were full: a newspaper from the wizarding world, and Arya had also ordered For the next year, owls will be delivered to the dining table at home every morning; a large portion of multicolored ice cream that is said to not melt; and all kinds of candy snacks bought for Andrew. It was bought after the wife who was about the same size as Andrew. When the enthusiastic lady learned that Arya's child was the same age as her son, she enthusiastically recommended to Arya several small ones that the children would like. Toys; of course, more books, all kinds of books, various themes, all kinds of content, as long as Arya thinks it can help her understand the wizarding world, all of them will be included in her bag!

Arya didn't buy an owl, she thought Andrew would like him to pick one himself.

As a result, I bought more when I was excited!Sure enough, shopping is a woman's talent?

When Snape found Arya Dashwood, he saw her hands on her hips looking at a pile of things on the ground in frustration, as if she didn't know what to do.

"You bought these?" Snape frowned, looking at the items piled up like a small hill, "Is Miss Dashwood going to evacuate Diagon Alley? Oh, let me see, " "Break with the Ghost"? "The Magic of Baking Bread"? "As long as there is a magic wand, there is a solution"? "Magic Potion"? "Piercing the Fog to See the Future"? Well, well, Miss Dashwood's reading range is so wide, It makes a difference."

Arya didn't look angry at all at the moment, she explained with a smile: "I don't understand. I just want to buy more and read more books. It won't hurt, will it?"

As if he didn't notice Arya's pleasant face at all, Snape bent down and picked up a copy of "Break with the Female Ghost", looked at the man with an idiotic smile on the cover of the book, and said sarcastically: "Then Not necessarily."

Arya blushed, well, she admitted that she bought this book because of the handsome man on the cover, who was winking at her just now!

With a wave of Snape's wand, those things that had been scattered in a pile were automatically arranged. While Arya was dumbfounded in surprise, Snape "hummed" with a sense of superiority, and then even put his hand A bag was conjured up, and in Arya's opinion, the things that two people could barely hold were all packed in the bag that was only a circle bigger than Andrew's small backpack!

"You are amazing! Mr. Snape." Arya trotted behind Snape again, empty-handed, and he actually helped her pick up the bag!

Snape seemed even more proud, and if Arya read it right, a smile appeared on his face!A real smile, not a mocking sneer, not a smirk meant to be annoying!It's a real smile that says you're in a good mood!

Well, it seems that proper praise is not only applicable to Andrew, but also to this Mr. Snape!

Arya missed Susan's Andrew in her heart, and left in a hurry after saying goodbye to Snape.

Snape stood at Charing Cross Road, watched the Muggle car driven by the woman drive into the crowd, gradually lost sight, and then turned and left in the opposite direction with a blank expression.
