[HP] Mrs. Snape

Five days later, Snape received a reply from Arya and Andrew, as well as a belated Christmas present.

Andrew's is a thick stack of photos, photos of him and his mother in front of various attractions, and even a magic school!

After reading the letter, I found out that Arya and Andrew moved out of her mother's house the day after Christmas, "for some irreconcilable reasons," Arya said in the letter, and then she took Watching Andrew play around in New York, and even made a small excursion - Ilvermorny School of Wizardry.

This school is not like Hogwarts, where other people are not allowed to enter.It can be visited by any wizard!It's even open for Christmas!

"Severus, you will definitely like this place. The magnificent buildings and magical magic are several times more magical than Diagon Alley. I don't know if Hogwarts is also so magical, but I was really shocked Yes. Here, being a wizard is such a comfortable thing, they live with ordinary people, as long as the magic is not exposed, there are almost no restrictions! We met a student who told us that he was in two universities at the same time Studying, in an ordinary university, he majored in chemistry, and in a magic school, he majored in potions!

Also, when he learned that we were wizards from England, he even took us to their laboratory. I couldn't imagine the research equipment there!Flasks flying around, stars orbiting stars right in front of your eyes...Andrew is already hooked here, he took a lot of pictures for you, we plan to live here for a while now, Andrew and George have become good friends Oh, oh, George is the student I mentioned just now.He's been looking for George almost every day, and we're planning to be back a week before school starts..."

Leaning on the bed and flipping through Andrew's photos, seeing the mother and son touching each other's heads, happily waving and laughing at him, Snape's mood that had been gloomy for several days seemed to suddenly become sunny!

There were a lot of photos, and he slowly flipped through them one by one. He could see that most of the photos of people in them were taken by Alia, and most of them were of Andrew...

Snape's movements stopped slowly. He looked at a photo of almost a hundred cauldrons, and couldn't get back to his senses for a long time. In the photo, each cauldron was emitting white mist, and no one was looking after it. A wand was inserted into each crucible, and after a while, all the wands turned to the left in a uniform order, and then the medicinal materials on the table rose up and fell into the crucible automatically in a uniform order...

Snape recognized that this was brewing a refreshing potion for treating colds and flu. Although the quality of this potion was far from good enough in Snape's opinion, it was undeniable that this kind of lazy streamlined operation was better than his The cooking method is much faster. Thinking of the experience of boiling medicine for those runny trolls before the arrival of winter every year, maybe he can also learn from this method. Anyway, the effect is not much different, and those students will not Taste the difference, Snape thought.

Arya and Andrew returned to London as originally planned, and that afternoon, Snape received an elated message from Andrew.

This trip was fruitful for Andrew, Arya, and Snape. Arya brought him back many books from the United States, as well as some potion materials. Some were ordered by Snape, and some were selected by Andrew. Yes, the father and son spent the whole afternoon in the basement sorting out the potion materials and books they brought back.

"Andrew, the fire lizard should not be placed next to the fluorescent grass, they will affect each other's efficacy."

Arya leaned against the door of the basement, watching with a smile as Snape taught Andrew to identify various medicinal materials, and climbed up the ladder to store and organize the materials on shelves. Father and son always treated potions with caution.

Seeing Snape half bent over holding the child's hand, teaching him how to handle potions, Arya's eyes couldn't help but get wet.

It turned out that she was so homesick and eager to see the scene in front of her...

Thinking of Andrew's hysterical look after accidentally showing Ms. Jessica when he was packing his luggage with his wand, Arya was grateful for everything now.If she hadn't stopped her at that time, she believed that her mother would have rushed to break Andrew's wand with her appearance at that time!

Clothes and suitcases were floating in mid-air!

I don't remember many things when I was a child, but in my vague memory, there are always hysterical roars and curses in her ears. Maybe, it is her biological mother or Qingsheng father, right?

Fortunately, Andrew's father is a wizard. Fortunately, Severus accepted Andrew's existence. Fortunately, he has been working hard to be a qualified father. Fortunately, she had Lin in her childhood, and she missed Lin...

"What's the matter?" Arya woke up suddenly, and found Severus standing beside her looking at her, with a worried face on his face.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just going to be dazed when I post it." Quickly packed up his emotions, looked around, and smiled: "It's packed? Let's go to dinner, and we can pack up the rest tomorrow? Andrew has to go to bed early tonight, The jet lag hasn't come back yet."

Snape looked at Arya's pretended calmness, without revealing her expression just now, as if he was about to cry.

After dinner, Arya sent Andrew to wash up and go to bed early. Severus will stay to deal with the materials in the basement tonight. According to him, some potion materials will affect the efficacy of the medicine if they are not disposed of early.

Arya was his temporary assistant, and since she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well find something to do.Besides, slowly, she and Severus liked chatting very much. Although he didn't talk much, as long as he was in a good mood, he was usually a good listener...

"It's a good technique, is it really the first time?" Snape turned around as if checking his homework, and asked with his fingertips to pick up the bald eagle beak powder that Arya had already ground.

Arya's subordinates kept moving, she lowered her head and smiled and said, "It's the same as nutmeg when ground. I've been cooking since I went to college. It's not difficult for me."

Snape glanced at Arya's fair face, smiled, took out the long feathers from the package, and asked, "You actually bought the feathers of the Soundbird?"

"Oh, that was given to Andrew by George, the student we met at the American School of Magic. He also majored in Potions, and Andrew got along very well with him." Arya rubbed her feet vigorously. A final touch of sea eagle beak powder.

"How did you find Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Snape stood across the table and dabbed a flaxen liquid on the feathers, which Arya guessed might be for freshness.

"Professor Dumbledore told us that Andrew wrote to ask him, and he also wrote a letter of recommendation to Andrew, but we didn't use it. The professor seems to be home for Christmas." According to Snape Instructions, Arya carefully scraped the sea eagle beak powder into an ivory box with a small silver spoon. She now understands why Severus does not seem to be rich. These potion ingredients are simply burning money. Fortunately, the United States The wizard can directly use US dollars to shop.

"By the way, Andrew also prepared a gift for Professor Dumbledore, remember to bring it to him when you return to Hogwarts."

"Humph" Severus snorted angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with Arya's actions.

Arya understood why he was angry, and said softly: "Severus, I know Dumbledore is not as kind as he looks on the outside, but at least he is treating Andrew well now. We can't give up because of choking."

Snape didn't speak, the two of them worked quietly, the only sound in the basement was the clanging of stone pestles.

"You, don't you?" After a while, Snape broke the silence. He seemed to have been preparing for the next conversation for a long time, but he hesitated, and stopped before saying, "Andrew told me, Your mother doesn't like him very much."

The movement of Arya's hands stopped, she lowered her head and remained motionless for a long time, just when Snape thought she was crying, he heard Arya's calm voice: "Actually, it's not entirely true, in her She was nice to us until we found out that Andrew had those weird abilities like me."

The movement of Snape's hands also stopped, and he quietly looked at Arya whose face was covered by long hair, only to hear her continue: "She, she is very frightened, even I feel like she is going crazy. Shouting monsters, why are they still monsters! Monsters? Ha! She calls her own daughter a monster!"

Snape opened his mouth, Arya's rare weakness made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Did you know? Severus, I just found out that as early as when I was more than two years old, she, she and Mr. Dashwood, that is, my biological father, had already taken me for a paternity test. They Doubt that I am a child of the devil! Because the bloodlines of the Dashwood family and the Philip family are the cleanest, how could two purest bloodlines give birth to a monster? Oh, should I be lucky or regret that I am really them blood!"

Arya had already started to chop the kudzu root with clangs, the knife was cutting on the table, the creaking sound with all its strength was frightening.

Snape didn't expect that the humble Muggle would advocate pure blood!

"So I guess, I was sent to a boarding school and they were relieved they didn't have to deal with a monster all day. Ms. Jessica always thought that harsh boarding school had made me a normal person, so she After all, how could a monster pass the university entrance examination and graduate smoothly. Heh! She was disappointed! Didn’t you see Ms. Jessica’s face at that time, it was like she was from A devil from hell."

There was a startling hatred in Arya's tone, "But I found that the wand you gave Andrew was so useful that I actually used it to perform a complete petrification."

"You won't?" Snape looked at Arya in surprise.

"Yeah, I petrified Ms. Jessica's precious cat in front of her, God knows how much I hate that cat, whose mum or grandma left scars on my face more than once."

Snape was a little dumbfounded, a cat?Well, he thought she just petrified her mom. "That wand is unique, and it can correctly guide the release of the wizard's magic power, but relatively speaking, it is not very loyal, and anyone can use it. You'd better use your own wand."

Her own wand?Arya frowned wondering where did she keep her wand?Except for a while at the beginning in Diagon Alley to set up a shop, she doesn't seem to have picked up a wand since then.

"It's in the chest of drawers at the back of Andrew's cloakroom," Snape said helplessly. "You threw it under the sofa cushion, and it was almost broken by Andrew, so I put it away."

"Oh, thank you, Severus." Arya smiled, well, she seemed to have forgotten that she had such a thing.

"So, you and your mother?" Snape asked.

"Us? We may never see each other again in this life. But it's not a big problem. At most, there is no need to exchange gifts at Christmas." Arya shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Snape seemed to accept Arya's answer, and said, "That's right, he's just a stupid Muggle."

"Severus!" Arya glared at him with disapproval in her eyes, "Don't say that, you remind me of Mr. Dashwood and Ms. Jessica!"

Snape asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, they'll say, 'What do those stupid people know? The lower class should be content with the status quo and not delusional!' 'Noble blood breeds noble souls.' Fart! I don't think their souls are very noble!" Arya couldn't help swearing, and said angrily: "All men are created equal! It's really shameless. While enjoying the services of the so-called 'inferior people' in their mouths and using them to grab wealth, they still sneered at them. Hmph, karma reincarnation, retribution is not good. Wait, sooner or later they will pay the price for their self-styled and arrogance!"

Snape suddenly felt that Arya was not referring to her Muggle parents, as if she meant something.

"But..." After Arya vented, she felt much better. In the early hours of the morning, when the two finally finished processing the materials, Arya looked at Snape who closed the door with his back to her, and said slowly: "But , and it’s not without any gains.”

"Huh?" In the middle of the night, Severus's voice sounded very deep, and his eyes became shining under the moonlight, and Arya was almost drowning in those black pearl-like pupils...

"Aaliyah?"

Severus' questioning voice woke her up abruptly, and Arya felt her face was burning, but luckily the other party didn't see it under the cover of night, she calmed down and said with a smile: "I got a forest! "

"Forest?" Snape didn't notice Arya's embarrassed expression, and walked ahead without turning back after closing the door, asking, "Did your mother give it to you?"

"Cut! How could she be so kind!" Arya quickly followed Severus's footsteps, and rolled her eyes at the strong and straight back in front of her. She didn't know if it was for Ms. Jessica or Snape, He said mockingly: "I just found out that the reason why she has been asking me to visit her these past few years is because of this piece of land!"

Thinking about it made Arya angry, and she wasn't going to hide her anger at her mother!Only Severus was there anyway!

"The forest was left to me by my grandmother's name, and she kept it from me! Ms. Jessica actually asked me to sell the land to her husband! Oh! I really think I am a three-year-old child!" Ellie When Ya thought of this, she blushed with anger!

She always felt that Ms. Jessica loved her no matter what, otherwise she wouldn't have given her and Andrew expensive Christmas presents every year in her early adult years!

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's because of that piece of land, right?Grandma's will clearly states that the forest in the outskirts of London can be inherited by Aaliyah when she becomes an adult. Before that, it was managed by the Philip Family Heritage Foundation...

As for all the affairs of the Philip family, Arya knew almost nothing, even the grandmother who gave her a big gift and passed away early, she hardly had any impression... But she also knew that, as the eldest daughter of the Philip family, Jay Ms. Sika has always had a say in the affairs of the Philip family.So, if it wasn't for the legal effect of the will, and she had been away from England for many years, I'm afraid Ms. Jessica would have handled the land without telling Arya...

But this time, after learning that the lawyer of the Phillip family told her about it, before leaving the United States, Alia directly hired the best lawyer from the best law firm in New York, and received it from Ms. Jessica Philip in person. Get back the forest title deed that belongs to her!

And Jessica's lady pretended to be calm and tried hard to maintain her elegant face like a plaster mask. In Arya's mind, it was so ridiculous!

"When the weather gets warmer, let's go there and have a look together!" Arya and Snape suggested as they walked up the stairs side by side, "When the spring is warm, Andrew will definitely like it." Without waiting for Severus to refuse , she smiled and continued, "I looked at the title deed. The forest is not small. By then, you and Andrew will have a place to grow your own potion ingredients..."

After thinking about it, Snape nodded in agreement.

"Good night, Severus." Arya stopped at the door of her bedroom and said with a smile, "I bought you a pair of new slippers, which are already at the end of the bed. Tomorrow Sunday, let's go out for brunch ?"

Is this ready to stay in bed?Snape glanced disapprovingly at the smiling Arya, but finally nodded in agreement, "Nine o'clock."

Arya understood what Snape meant, she could stay in bed, but she had to get up at nine o'clock at the latest.This is of course no problem for her, but, Andrew, leave it to his father, Arya leaned on the door frame, quietly watching the reassuring figure disappear into the opposite room, until Snape closed the door. When she came to the door, she seemed to wake up, she didn't know what she thought of, she chuckled, and went into the room to wash...
