[HP] Mrs. Snape

Saturday, the weather is very good, sunny and comfortable.There was a gentle breeze in the evening, and the comfortable autumn temperature kept everyone in a good mood.

Dumbledore and Snape strolled in this picturesque Muggle community, children ran and played wantonly on the road, leisurely parents stood and watched their children from a distance, the fallen leaves creaked under their feet with...

Dumbledore looked at this community of Muggles curiously. He really didn't expect Severus to make his home here, which surprised him even more than when he accidentally learned that Snape had a child .

"Good afternoon, Mr. Snape!" Passing by a house, a Muggle child riding a children's tricycle greeted the two of them, and then stared at Dumbledore with his mouth wide open in surprise, "Wow! How cool! Santa Claus! Daddy, Daddy, I want a Santa too!"

"Michael, there is no Santa Claus now." A Muggle man's voice came from the house.

"Who said no! Andrew's father brought back a Santa Claus for Andrew. I'm not a three or four-year-old kid anymore, don't lie to me!" The child yelled into the room riding a bicycle.

The voice in the house roared louder than a child: "Andrew is Andrew, you are you! Boy, let me tell you, don't act like your dad can't compare to Andrew's dad, I'm... well, Severer Good afternoon, sorry, I, I was so angry with this kid just now..." The middle-aged man who came out smiled and waved at Snape.

"Good afternoon, Ben. Michael, congratulations on being goalie for the football team. Great." Snape stopped and nodded and smiled at the father and son.

"Thank you, it was Andrew who told you. Andrew is the center forward, and we are a golden partner!" the child raised his hands and shouted.

In Dumbledore's smiling eyes, Snape also smiled and politely, like a handsome gentleman, waving goodbye to his neighbors.

"It seems that you have adapted to life here very well." Dumbledore looked at Snape with a smile on his face, and said indifferently.

"Well, yes, it's very good here. Here we are." Snape stopped in front of a white house, pushed aside the fence, walked across the path in the neat lawn, and pointed to the back of the house and said to Dumbledore: "There are more people in the back." There is a garden, bigger than this one, and Arya originally wanted to make a swimming pool, but the child disagrees, he likes those trees and flowers, and we are not allowed to cut them down. Come, please come into the headmaster."

Dumbledore looked around. This is a warm home. This is the first impression anyone sees at home. The large living room is covered with a thick half-old carpet full of children's fun. The carpet is scattered with colorful children. There are bumper stickers on the edges and corners of the furniture and on the legs. There is a row of immature paintings hanging in the entrance hall. At first glance, it looks like a child's graffiti, but it is thoughtfully pasted by his parents at home. Most conspicuously, obviously, they are proud of their children.

"Arya?" Snape called out, but there was no answer, and the soup was bubbling and steaming in the open kitchen.

"Andrew?" There seemed to be a voice on the second floor.

"Are you back? Severus, Andrew, don't move! I'm telling you, if you dirty the sheets I just washed, I'll make your father beat you! I will, stand up now!" a female voice Hastily came from the second floor, and then Dumbledore saw a figure in an apron trotting down the stairs, with clods of mud all over her body.

"Oh, my God! I'm sorry, Severus, I... hello, Professor Dumbledore, I was too rude, please don't mind. Son..." The young mother shook her head angrily and helplessly .

"Of course not, Arya, please allow me to call you that." Dumbledore smiled understandingly, "Children are always energetic, aren't they?"

"Thank you. Please sit down, please sit down." Arya hurriedly invited Dumbledore to take a seat, and hastily brought the refreshments she had prepared, "Principal Dumbledore, Andrew has been excited about your coming for a long time, Severus gave him The chocolate frog he bought has your face on it, and he has regarded you as the legendary Santa Claus for a long time."

"Haha, it's my pleasure. Next time I can consider wearing a red hat, maybe it will be more similar." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Arya was about to say something with a smile, but suddenly exclaimed: "Andrew! Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and clean it!"

"Andrew, what are you doing?!" Snape followed Arya's gaze, was also startled, and exclaimed.

The Andrew in front of him was completely a clay doll, his face was covered with mud, and he was holding something that seemed to be a ball of mud tightly in his arms, and he was still moving.

"Hey, Dad. Didn't do anything." Andrew stood in the middle of the stairs and smiled, holding the ball of mud in his arms triumphantly and said to Snape: "Dad, look, I rescued it! A puppy! "

Arya covered her face and couldn't bear to look directly. Facing Snape's astonished eyes, she could only explain helplessly: "I was busy preparing dinner, and Andrew was playing in the backyard. Who knew he would climb over the fence and run Went to the grove, and when we found him, it was already like this. He said he fell into the mire to save the puppy."

"Hi, Professor Dumbledore, I'm Andrew, Andrew Dashwood, nice to meet you." Then he looked at the dirty Andrew holding out his hand to Dumbledore solemnly, but Dumbledore didn't feel disgusted at all He shook hands with Andrew with a serious smile, and said with a smile: "Hello, Andrew, I am Dumbledore, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, oh, My name may be a bit long, but you can call me Albus."

"You look much taller than the one on the chocolate frog." Andrew greeted solemnly, well, ignoring the mud on his body, it really looks like that.

"Andrew, can you go upstairs and change?" Arya said exhaustedly. "And, this puppy."

"But Mom, I don't know how to tie a bow tie. And there's no hot water in the bathroom!" Andrew said distressedly, holding the little hand that was constantly glistening with mud.

"Okay, okay, come up with mom, mom will find a way for you, you can't see guests like this, it's too rude, Andrew!" He was about to lead the child upstairs, but Andrew dodged his mother's hand , whispered: "I'm a boy! You're a girl, you can't watch me take a shower!"

The child!Why did you become stubborn at a critical moment!Arya had never felt so powerless.

"I'll do it," Snape nodded apologetically to Dumbledore, took Andrew and said, "I'll take him to take a bath, um, professor, I'm really sorry, please forgive me for leaving for a while."

"Of course, of course. See you later, Andrew." Dumbledore didn't feel slighted at all, and still had a kind smile.

Arya was filled with guilt. She quickly refilled Dumbledore's teacup and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Professor, I'm in a hurry. The child is getting older and has his own ideas, and he's becoming more, um, naughty."

"Yeah, although it's very naughty, it also brought us endless happiness."

"Yeah, Andrew was lying softly in my arms as if it was yesterday, and he was so big in a blink of an eye. He always wanted a puppy, but Sev and I thought we already had Romeo, oh, Romeo It’s our owl,” Arya continued after a pause, “We all feel that we shouldn’t give him too many pets, one is enough, too many for him to take care of by himself, but, look at today… ..." Alicia spread her hands helplessly.

Snape led Andrew downstairs as well. Andrew was still holding the puppy in his arms. After washing it, he could see that the dog was a black Ronathan.Arya took a closer look, and it was purebred.

"Could it be the puppy from Mr. White's house on the other side of the river? I remember that Susie was pregnant a few days ago." Arya looked at the puppy lying in Andrew's arms with uncertainty.

"It is estimated that the puppy of the White family is about nine weeks old. Andrew and I went to see the puppy when it was just born." Snape looked at Andrew and said, "Andrew, we will go to Mr. White's house tomorrow to return the dog. , you have to take care of it tonight!"

Andrew nodded again and again to express that he would do his best.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and Arya kept bringing new dishes from the kitchen. The table was full. Dumbledore liked to talk to Andrew. He took the trouble to explain the usage of dragon's blood to Andrew. Kind of fanciful questions, for example, why do Pegasus have wings?Are pegasus birds or mammals?Did Dumbledore really have a phoenix?Is there a pair of phoenixes?Aren't they beautiful like the mermaid princess in the story...

"Oh, no, it's a little different." After listening to the story of the mermaid princess told by Andrew, Dumbledore said with a smile: "Actually, the mermaids in Hogwarts are very different from the mermaid princesses, but they The voice is equally beautiful and moving, and you can go and see it for yourself when you come to Hogwarts to study at the age of 11."

"Can I go to Hogwarts to study too?" Andrew asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Of course children, every little wizard with magical powers can go to Hogwarts to study." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Then I should be fine. Do I need an exam? Professor Dumbledore? My father told me that there are four houses in Hogwarts. Will there be exams to separate houses? How many points do I need to get into the best Slytherin?" ?”

"Oh?" Dumbledore seemed more interested, and asked with a smile, "You want to go to Slytherin?"

"Yeah!" Andrew nodded of course, "Dad said that Slytherin only accepts the best students, and our family has always been Slytherin. My grandma is, and so is Dad. I think it's a family tradition. Mom said The inheritance of a family needs some good traditions, and if I work harder, I also want to study in Slytherin. Maybe I will sleep on the bed where my father used to sleep, and sit on the seat where my father used to sit!"

Arya and Snape looked at each other, they never thought that Andrew would think so much, Arya couldn't remember when she said that sentence, and what surprised her even more was that Snape actually Will tell Andrew about his birth and family!

Dumbledore nodded after Andrew's words, soft light flashed in his blue eyes, and said to Andrew: "At Hogwarts, we always assign any little wizard to the most suitable college for him. Andrew Has school magic started yet?"

Snape paused with the knife and fork in his hand, glanced at Dumbledore quickly, pursed his lips but did not speak, only heard Andrew say: "Yeah, Dad taught me. I learn slowly, Mom said Learn a little bit at a time, and you have to master everything before learning the next knowledge, otherwise you can't eat too much. Professor, can I ask you some questions? I mean write to you or call you?"

"Andrew!" snapped Snape. "Professor Dumbledore is busy! Don't be so rude."

"Oh, Severus," Dumbledore raised his hand to stop Snape's words, and continued to smile at Andrew, "Of course, Andrew, I'm very welcome. But there are no telephones at Hogwarts."

Andrew looked at his father, then at Dumbledore with a smile on his face, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, professor, I, I won't take up your working time, I can give the letter to Dad and let him I'll hand it over to you in your spare time. I'm really curious what the Phoenix looks like, Dad." The last sentence Andrew turned his head to Snape and said softly.

Snape's complexion improved a bit, but he still looked unhappy. Seeing this, Arya quickly picked up her glass and said with a smile: "Come, tonight's beautiful night."

At the end of the dinner, Andrew had eaten his belly full, but he was still salivating at the big caramel cake after Arya brought dessert. Arya was having a good talk with Dumbledore, and Andrew secretly dragged Snape's sleeve, "Dad, Dad. Can I have a bite? Just a small bite." He squeezed two fat fingers, indicating that he really only wanted to eat a little.

"Andrew!" Snape naturally refused, but Andrew refused to give up, begging with his mouth flattened and shaking Snape's sleeve, "Dad, please, I haven't eaten candy for two days, I just take a sip. Take a bite. I promise."

Snape had no choice but to sigh when Andrew was about to lie in his arms, so he could only pass his fork to Andrew. Arya raised her eyebrows and looked at Andrew, who was working hard, and gave Snape a playful smile. He went too far and continued talking to Dumbledore, ignoring Arya.

"Yes, the weather in London is not very good, but after all, the educational resources here are better than those in small towns, so I decided to bring Andrew here. Severus really helped me a lot," Arya was talking about Andrew with Dumbledore, "I never knew I was a wizard. When people from the Ministry of Magic suddenly appeared in front of me, I was really petrified. Fortunately, there was Severus. Otherwise, I would be with you." Andrew didn't know what to do."

"Don't you know you are a wizard?" Dumbledore was curious about this.

Arya decided that it was best not to play any tricks in front of this wise old man, he would see through everything, and the short conversation made the image of the character in Arya's heart fuller.

"Yeah, I don't know. Some strange things happened to me when I was a child, just like Andrew, but my parents thought it might be bad, so they just kept, um." Arya smiled wryly, spread her hands, and said without going on: "Later in the boarding school, once I let the dark room, oh, it was the light in the room where we were confined, and after that, there was no special ability anymore. I thought that when I grew up, that kind of ability It will disappear by itself."

Snape looked up at Arya in surprise. Is it true that she never talked about the past?Was she ever abused by her own parents because of her magical powers?No wonder Arya never mentioned her parents.

There was an inexplicable light in Dumbledore's bright eyes, it seemed to be pity, it seemed to be nostalgia, Arya couldn't detect it.He shook his head and said: "Magic power will accompany a person's life. This is a gift from Merlin. We shouldn't refuse it, right? On the contrary, Arya, even now, your magical power is quite abundant. I'm curious, you Didn't you get the notification from Hogwarts?"

Arya thought about it, "No, I'm sure I didn't. I started secondary school when I was 11, and the only big thing that happened that year was my mother refusing me to go to grammar school, and I ended up staying at Boarding school, just changed dormitories and classrooms. If Hogwarts ever sent me a letter, I would definitely have an impression. Maybe I am an ordinary person, um, what everyone calls a Muggle, so Hogg Watts doesn't know." Arya said with a smile.

Snape and Dumbledore thought of a possibility at the same time, and the two quickly looked at each other, a trace of pity flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Every wizard will be on the Hogwarts list from birth, as long as he is not a squib, he will receive an admission letter to the wizarding school at the age of 11, unless someone receives it instead of Arya and directly rejects her admission Chance!The Hogwarts notice is protected by magic, and besides the wizard himself, the guardian of the little wizard also has the right to refuse admission.

Snape was silent, no wonder she didn't know anything about everything at first, no matter the Leaky Cauldron or Andrew's Magic Riot, he had been suspicious of Arya Dashwood before, she was obviously a wizard, but she lived in Ma In the melon world, and according to what she said, he knew nothing about wizards, but he quickly understood and became familiar with everything in Diagon Alley, and even started a business. up...

After sending Dumbledore away, Snape stood at the door, watched Arya busy, and said after a while: "Is it true? You said it."

"Huh? What?" Arya was clearing up the knives and forks on the table, without raising her head, she agreed casually.

"Hogwarts, never received a notification from Hogwarts." Snape continued.

Clinking and putting the dishes in the dishwasher, Arya had already started wiping the table and said casually, "Yeah, it's true, I didn't even see an owl when I was 11 years old. I think I might have been missed by the owl,''

Arya held the rag, straightened up and smiled, "But think about it, if I went to Hogwarts to study, it would be great, at least I don't have to endure that suicidal boarding school anymore. Hey, you Said which house would I be sorted into if I went to Hogwarts? Ravenclaw? Or Hufflepuff?"

"No, it's Slytherin." Snape replied seriously, leaning against the door.

"Oh, Severus, don't recommend Slytherin to everyone if you are the head of Slytherin. It's impossible. I don't know anything about magic at the age of 11. How could I pass the Slytherin exam? I I think it’s Hufflepuff, doesn’t it mean that Hufflepuff is the most inclusive?”

"No, you must be in Slytherin." Snape was sure.

Arya looked at Snape with a serious face, and suddenly felt a softness in her heart. At this moment, Severus and Andrew looked exactly the same when they became stubborn. Both of them would have a serious face, constantly emphasizing to you that he was right, Make you accept their point of view.Well, well, Slytherin is Slytherin, Arya is still very happy to satisfy Snape's little childishness.

"Hey, if I'm in Slytherin, then I'm two grades younger than you um, and if I meet you in the hallway, I'll bow respectfully and say 'Hello, Senior Snape,' and you'll definitely walk right by, You don’t even bother to give a single glance. If you’re in a better mood, you’ll definitely say, ‘Hmph, caterpillars from the lower grades! Get out of the way, don’t get in my way!’” Arya bent her back and imagined her expression, Can't stop laughing.

Snape also laughed, he would indeed do that, in fact, that's what he did back then!

"Hey, what subjects were you good at when you were in school?" Arya said with great interest.

"Actually, it's fine." Snape said proudly with his neck raised.

"No way?" Arya deliberately doubted.

"I have eleven NEWT certificates, all of which are O." Snape said triumphantly, raising his brows.

"Oh, that sounds amazing." Arya said deliberately, then stood with her hands on her hips and one foot, leaning on the table imitating Snape's appearance, raised her chin and said with a complacent expression: "I'm not bad either. , I skipped a grade more than once, and I was admitted to college at the age of 16! I never got an E in my grades since I was a child, and of course almost O, except for the damn PE class!"

After finishing speaking, both Snape and Arya bent down and laughed non-stop, well, it was a little childish, and shook the rag, Arya stopped smiling and said softly: "Do you think everything is going well for us tonight?"

With a smile still on his face, Snape nodded: "Of course, of course everything went well. Dumbledore was very satisfied with what he saw, especially Andrew's appearance, believe me, it was really shocking."

"Oh, that's not it. Andrew was a total accident!" Arya is still a little annoyed at the thought of this, "God knows how broken I was when I saw him rolling out of the mud, and it's not rhetoric, it's true, he really The one that rolled out of the mire in the woods, with the little dog."

Snape looked at the resentment on Arya's face and smiled again. He seemed to be in a good mood tonight, "You always pursue perfection, and children don't have to be clean and tidy all the time!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Man! It's like you are not the same, who told Andrew to memorize a potion book from beginning to end, not even a single word is wrong!" Arya went upstairs with the apron in her hand Drink in a low voice.

"That's only sixteen pages!" Snape argued in a low voice, following behind her.

"That's a book too!"

The two stopped arguing with laughter and stood at the door of Andrew's room at the same time. The child was already asleep, and the puppy was lying on his pillow, whimpering from time to time.

Arya and Snape walked softly beside Andrew's bed side by side, and Arya covered him with the quilt.Snape stood behind her, watched as Arya leaned over and kissed the child's forehead, and said softly, "Good night baby. Have a sweet dream. Daddy and Mum are always by your side."
