[HP] Mrs. Snape

On Saturday, Andrew asked his mother to hold hands, and Snape reluctantly walked behind the mother and son, and it had been like this for several days, and Arya didn't even go to work, not to let Andrew leave her.

"You guys go pick out wands and make clothes, and I'll go to the bookstore to help Andrew buy books." Snape suggested after the three came out of Gringotts.

"Okay, come to Madam Malkin's robe shop to find us later, and I have to make you a thick robe." After Arya finished speaking, she led Andrew to the wand shop.

"Good morning, Mrs. Dashwood." Ollivander, the white-haired shopkeeper, greeted with a smile, "Oh, pine, nine and three-quarters long, unicorn hair, you are well maintained, like new the same."

Arya blushed a little. It was indeed new, and she hardly used it. "This is my son Andrew. He's going to Hogwarts this year and needs a new wand."

"Okay, okay, you must find the most suitable young man for you," Ollivander brought a large stack of wand boxes, and signaled Andrew to choose. Andrew's process of choosing wands was relatively smooth, and he used the first wand perfectly. After casting a cleaning spell to remove the years of dust in Ollivander's store, the excited Mr. Ollivander ran to the warehouse with a box that looked old, and this wand and Andrew It fit perfectly.

"It's as if it can be integrated into the blood, it knows what I want to do," Andrew said.

"Oh, Mrs. Dashwood, long time no see," Mrs. Malkin smiled at Arya in a friendly way. Mrs. Malkin would not have smiled at her like this when "Alice's Tailors" was newly opened.

"Long time no see Madam Malkin, this is my son Andrew, he needs some uniforms, the quality in your shop is always the best, isn't it?"

Maybe it was because all the competitors came to her shop to make clothes, which made Mrs. Malkin very happy. She even brought out a plate of candies for Andrew, and smiled while measuring for Andrew: "Is that Andrew? God, time flies How fast, I became a young man in a blink of an eye. I still remember that when I was only as tall as my calf, I ran from the street to the end of the alley with a small backpack on my back. He can be transformed, and no one in Diagon Alley doesn't like him."

"Yeah, time flies," Arya looked at Andrew who kept scratching his head shyly, and felt that her eyes were a little wet. Unknowingly, so many years had passed, as if she still hugged Andrew in his arms yesterday. Coaxing him to drink milk in his arms, today he has grown into a young man who can leave his mother and go to a distant place to study alone.

"Mom." After taking the measurements, Andrew quickly jumped off the stage and embraced Alia, who had wet eyes. "I will write to you every day. We can meet every day through the double-sided mirror, can't we?"

"Mom knows, Andrew, I'm sorry baby for worrying you, I just suddenly remembered something about you when you were a child." Arya stroked the child's soft black hair and said with a smile: "Go, go and play, go and see your father What are you doing, show him your new wand."

Arya handed the kid a purse and sent him out, and it's kind of hard for a boy to stay in a dress shop with his mother, isn't it?

"Reluctant to let the child leave?" Mrs. Malkin smiled while helping a thin thirteen or fourteen-year-old child measure.

"Yeah, he has never been away from me for so long, and I feel a little sad when I think about it. His father always said that I dote on the child, but which mother can bear not seeing her child for nearly five months?" Alia looked at Andrew outside the glass window and quickly smiled and waved at him. Andrew had already bought two cups of ice cream and was sticking to the window and smiling at his mother.

"Andrew is still so well-behaved," Mrs. Malkin also saw. "Honey, raise your head up, I want to measure your shoulders! I still remember that Andrew was like this when he was a child. Florin would always give Andrew some more ice cream. Eat one, ask him why, always say leave it to mom!"

Arya also remembered that there was a time when they always had endless ice cream and ice cream, and Andrew liked to come to Diagon Alley very much.

"Now, lad," Madam Malkin said to the small, bespectacled child, "you can pick it up in an hour. Oh, Arya, didn't you say you need some grown-up robes?"

"Oh, that's right," Arya stretched her head to look outside, there was no sign of Severus, "Forget it, he doesn't know where he took Andrew, I'll give you the size Okay? Make four plain gowns, two thin ones and two thick ones for autumn wear, and by the way, two hats, one big and one small, one is Andrew's..."

After Arya explained, she went out and saw Severus and Andrew hovering on the second floor of Lihen Bookstore. She didn't intend to disturb the father and son, and went directly to Alice's finished clothing store. The crowds are surging, and the business in the store is much more flat now, but it is relatively speaking, at least the cheap area on the second floor is still full of people.Sophie is in charge of the store now, and she is doing a good job. I have to say that after learning about the wizarding world, Arya is really grateful to Snape for recommending Sophie, who was born in Hufflepuff. , although she is not very aggressive, but she is honest and honest. After Arya shared [-]% of her shares, Sophie regarded Alice as her home.

After chatting with Sophie for a while, I gave Sophie a string of diamond necklaces as her wedding gift. She will get married in November this year. Alia found the father and son at Lihen Bookstore.

"Hey, guys, you can buy books and read them back home, but you have to eat food now!" Alia looked at the father and son with her mouth in her mouth, "Aren't you hungry? My stomach is growling. "

Snape waved his wand and floated himself and the book at Andrew's feet to the counter, "Okay, you and Andrew go to the Leaky Cauldron first. I'll be there later."

"Well, I'll wait for you." Arya was holding Andrew and was about to go out, when she met the thin child in Mrs. Malkin's robe shop. He also recognized Arya, with green eyes behind the glasses Looking at Alia, she smiled shyly, and Alia also smiled and nodded to let him come in first.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"You're welcome. Are you a Hogwarts student too?" Arya asked casually.

"Yes, yes, I'm a third-year student." As if Arya's smile embarrassed him, and he kept pulling at his hair, making the messy hair even more messy.

"Well, goodbye." Alia quickly said goodbye with a smile, and Andrew kept looking at the pet shop opposite, "Andrew, do you want a pet? Mom will buy it for you."

"Can you, Mom?" Andrew exclaimed in surprise, "Then can I have a turtle? I've never seen a turtle that big. I wanted a frog, but it was still purple and drool... ..."

Arya smiled and listened to her son's words, and vaguely seemed to hear Severus' voice. Looking back, Severus was talking to the shy child just now, but Arya frowned and watched carefully. It didn't seem very happy, the child was flushed with anger, and was glaring at Sev angrily, what, what happened?

In the end, Andrew still didn't get a pet, because the angry Severus reprimanded Andrew for wanting to bring a turtle to Hogwarts, because Hogwarts issued a pet that could be brought. There is no turtle option in pets!

Although this rule is often violated by everyone, even if it is really brought in, can the professors still drive pets out of the campus?

But Arya didn't argue with Severus, at most she just hinted that he should restrain himself when he was a little outdated. The child needs an authoritative image that can make him obedient when he grows up, and facing Severus in front of the child Rebutting gave Andrew a sense of "Dad doesn't have to be like this", which was not a good thing for Severus or Andrew.

Therefore, although Andrew was a little unhappy, he still accepted his father's statement. After all, it is unwise to challenge the rules at the beginning of school, "Andrew, you are not that arrogant and stupid savior! I believe you understand what it means to be low-key and humble!"

Well, Andrew thought, he understood what his father meant. It is best to obey the rules obediently before finding out how the rules work in detail, and then think about breaking the rules or even establish rules and laws by yourself when you have the strength and a detailed understanding.

While waiting for school to start, Severus didn't let Andrew go out. The father and son were often locked in the study. Arya asked what Severus was doing, "It's nothing, just teaching Andrew some things about how to survive in Slytherin." method," Severus said flatly, blowing on the soup in his spoon.

Well, this is very necessary, there are always some not-so-good things in schools, especially middle schools.

Especially in this kind of boarding school, the ostracism is relatively mild. Arya herself has experienced such things as campus violence and vicious bullying. Although she was the winner in the end, Arya has to admit that the time in the boarding school was very difficult. The darkest years in her life have also had a great impact on her. Up to now, when she is new to a group, she subconsciously distinguishes who she can win over and who might pose a threat to her ...

After Arya strongly asked to sit in a few times, she said to Andrew after Severus left: "Honey, your dad is right, but you have to understand that the school is actually not that dark, especially It's when you have a dean dad."

"But Dad said that it's better not to call him Dad at school, and it's better to pretend that you don't know him." Andrew pursed his mouth and didn't understand.

"Well, this mother knows that this is a decision made after discussion with your father." Looking at the child's surprised eyes, Alia explained: "Andrew, your father must have told you that the school has not been very peaceful these few years. , "Andrew nodded, he knew this, Dad said that there are even dementors coming to the school this year.

"Think about it, it's just a Death Eater who ran away, why didn't the dementors go hunting, but guarded at Hogwarts." Arya inspired the child.

"Well," Andrew said with a frown, "Maybe they thought that Black would go to Hogwarts, so they just waited and waited, but why? Shouldn't they hide and wait until the weather calms down after they finally escaped? How could it be?" Running to school?"

"Yeah, why? Almost everyone, including the Minister of Magic, even Dumbledore thinks that Black will come to Hogwarts? Even your father doesn't have much objection to the dementor thing? Why, Andrew?"

"Because, because they are sure that Black will probably, no, definitely go to Hogwarts! But why?" Andrew frowned, "Why are Headmaster Dumbledore and Dad so sure?"

"Yeah, why?" Arya whispered, "A person who has been in prison for more than ten years, once he escapes from prison, he doesn't think about hiding, but goes to school, why?"

"Because Hogwarts has what Black wants!" Andrew slapped his hands violently, "Yes! It must be! But what is there? Is there anything he wants? The Sorcerer's Stone? But Dad said that has been taken Destroyed, what else is there?"

"Think about Black's identity," Arya said.

"Identity? The newspaper said he was a Death Eater who was imprisoned for killing [-] Muggles and a wizard. Death Eater! Savior! Hogwarts has a savior! He came for the savior!" Andrew suddenly realized.

"Yes, baby, you are amazing!" Arya held Andrew's face and couldn't help kissing it. Rather than telling the child the answer directly, she hoped that Andrew could think for himself.

"But mom, what does this have to do with me and dad?" Andrew snuggled into his mother's arms and asked with his head raised.

"Andrew, mother told you something, can you promise not to tell anyone? Even your father." Arya straightened up and sat opposite the child, and said seriously.

Andrew nodded, "Mom, I will definitely rot in my stomach. I don't even know it myself."

Arya chuckled, thought for a while, rehearsed the words that had been on her mind for the past few months, and said slowly, "You know my child, ten years ago, there was a man named Voldemort who practiced killing Get rid of all non-pure-blood wizards and build a world where pure-blood wizards rule over everyone, including ordinary people."

This Andrew knew that one year when his mother took him on a trip to Germany during the Easter holiday, he told him that Hitler, Grindler in Germany, and Voldemort in Britain were all racists. The difference is that Hitler killed Jews, Grindler and Voldemort killed People without magic.

Alia didn't speak. She got up and took out a black box from the back of the closet. Inside was a collection of newspaper clippings. When she turned to a page, she pointed to a passage and said to the child, "Think about it, Andrew, who is your father working for now?" ?”

"Professor Dumbledore." Andrew lowered his head and looked at the article on the newspaper clipping, "We have reason to believe that, as the wizard most feared by the mysterious people, Dumbledore organized a mysterious organization to fight against the Death Eaters... Mom .I know Dumbledore is the person Voldemort fears the most, but, but is Dad?" Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Andrew's eyes widened suddenly, "Could it be, is Dad? Yes?"

"Yes! Your father is a member of this organization!" Arya replied firmly.Of course, the real situation may be more complicated according to Arya's speculation, but there is really no need to tell the child all the darkness, right?

Andrew was a little at a loss, looking up at his mother with wet eyes: "But, but dad is dad!"

Arya understood what Andrew meant, "Yes, baby, to you dad is dad, but to Dumbledore, to the savior, to Black who escaped from prison, and even to Voldemort, your dad is not just dad, but The enemy, your father's previous job was a bit dangerous, and those Death Eaters hated him, so... So, Andrew, remember, when you are in school, try not to let your classmates know about your father-son relationship, okay? Your father You are a powerful adult wizard, he can protect himself, but what if someone with ulterior motives uses you to threaten Dad? Or more seriously, what if they transfer their hatred to you?"

"Mom!" Andrew flung himself into his mother's arms, his small shoulders trembling a little, "Andrew, baby, don't be afraid, mom and dad will protect you and won't let you get hurt in the slightest, but you have to promise mom to protect you Myself, will you listen to your father at school?"

"I'll be obedient, but Mom, if Black doesn't come to find the savior, but to find Dad, wouldn't Dad be in danger?" Andrew said worriedly.

Arya stroked the child's back in relief and shook it gently, just like Andrew did when he was a child, and said softly: "It's also possible, I believe your father and Professor Dumbledore have already made a strict plan. Trust them , Andrew, your father came from the war years, I believe your father will protect himself and you. So promise your mother, don’t let your classmates know that you are the son of Severus Snape, From the moment I entered the school, I called him the professor. Don't call him Dad, please?"

"Well, Mom, I understand. But, but the professors, I mean the professors at Hogwarts know it. Dad took me to school, and I'm still writing letters to Professor McGonagall." Andrew asked.

"That's okay, not all the professors know about it. Principal Dumbledore assured us that anyone who knows about it is trustworthy! And your father will take care of it." Arya hugged tightly Looking at Andrew, "Andrew, protect yourself, you must protect yourself. If anything happens, you must discuss it with your parents. Mom will take the double-sided mirror with you. Protect yourself for your mother, baby? If something happens to you Mommy will definitely go crazy."

Arya didn't want her child to have such a heavy burden at all, but she had to do so. Severus didn't approve of telling Andrew, but Arya knew her son. He seemed well-behaved but had his own Instead of hiding the child and letting him guess randomly and causing some irreparable regrets, it is better to tell him the truth early in the morning. She believes that Andrew will weigh the pros and cons by himself. He is a smart child.

After that day, Andrew always looked at Severus with eyes that were almost worshipful. At first, Severus thought that Andrew wanted the huge turtle, so he told the child sternly, no, no!

But after Andrew's fiery eyes lasted for a few days, Severus bought the turtle back, but he asked not to bring it to Hogwarts this year.

Alya kept smiling silently.Severus didn't know that she knew these things, he never told her anything about Death Eaters, Voldemort, but trying to hide it from a woman he slept with and met honestly was not really Not that easy is it?

She is very sure of her memory, even if she can't remember a thing, as long as she is given a chance, she can remember what the woman sitting next to her was wearing on the train that first came to London ten years ago Such clothes and shoes, she even remembered that the woman had a mole on the corner of her mouth.

Maybe her speculation about the matter may be a little biased in the details, but Arya believes that it is almost inseparable. Xiaolin taught her to deduce the truth from various information, "The truth is always covered up, you need to learn from these high-sounding words If you dig out the truth, your judgment will be infinitely closer to being correct." Lin told her at the time to the political news on the radio.

King's Cross Station, Platform Nine and Three Quarters, Arya and Andrew stepped on for the first time.

"Mom," Andrew said, standing beside the red steam train, with a bright smile on his face.

"Go, Andrew, go, find a freshman companion like you." Arya smiled at Andrew.The exhortations have been finished at home, and what I have to do now is to hold back my tears and let the child leave.

With his son pulling a huge suitcase and stepping onto the train, Andrew's little face appeared in the window for a while, "Mom!" He pushed open the glass window and waved excitedly at Arya.

Arya quickly lay down outside the car window and held the child's little hand, "Mom, take good care of yourself, and help me take care of Xiong Xiong and Dudu, too?" Dudu was the tortoise he bought for Severus in the end. So named because he always blows bubbles in the water "beep".

"Well, mom will, baby, don't be stressed, play whatever you want, do whatever you want, it's okay to get into trouble, just don't let yourself get hurt, mom and dad are always by your side." Arya suppressed her sadness , kissed Andrew vigorously on tiptoe, the train whistle had already sounded, Arya reluctantly let go of the child, and signaled him to close the window.

The train gradually started, and Alia kept smiling and waving as she watched the child and her drift away, and finally only the tail of the train could be seen. Tears could no longer be restrained, and flowed down instantly.

"Oh, dear, let's send the child to Hogwarts for the first time," a kind lady next to him handed Arya a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Me too, I almost cried when Bill went to school for the first time." Wet a handkerchief."

"Thank you, I," Arya was a little embarrassed, and quickly wiped her eyes, "I just, he has never been so far away from me since I was a child, oh, Mrs. Weasley, it's you, thank you, I..."

This lady is a frequent customer of Aaliyah's "Alice's Finished Clothing Store" in Diagon Alley. She is very kind, and Aaliyah likes to chat with her very much. It may be because there are many children and the family conditions are not very good. After a long time, Arya will specially leave some special priced robes for her.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Dashwood!" She also recognized Arya, hugged Arya with her thick arms, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Sophie said you found a new job."

"Yes, with Sophie, I can do things I've always wanted to do. Your little daughter is going to school, too. I remember she's about the same age as Andrew..." Arya and Mrs. Weasley exchanged pleasantries. On platform nine and three quarters, the person standing by the car in the distance seemed to be Mrs. Weasley's husband. Arya smiled and waved goodbye to her, then turned and went to the parking lot.

"Your mother is so cool!" said the boy sitting opposite Andrew: "It's great that she let you get into trouble, my mother can annoy me to death, John, be obedient, John is not allowed to cause trouble."

Andrew smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Andrew, Andrew Dashwood."

"Hello, John, John Brown," the boy smiled, taking Andrew's hand.

John is a very talkative guy and very, well, critical.

Along the way, he criticized the Ministry of Magic and Minister Fudge, and in the middle of the journey, after the dementor entered the carriage, this criticism became even more severe, "My father said that Fudge is an idiot, let the dementor leave Azkaban His brain must have been infested with slugs, he even had dementors in Hogwarts! And Dumbledore agreed, he must be a fool, my dad said maybe Dumbledore should think about retiring , still occupying the position of headmaster at such an old age, the desire for power is comparable to that idiot Fudge..."

Andrew looked at John helplessly, and exchanged glances with another boy sitting next to him. Their eyes were full of unreasonableness. It is really true to criticize the Minister of Magic and the headmaster of Hogwarts so blatantly. okay?And is it really okay for them to talk about such a serious topic without knowing each other at all?Andrew caught a glimpse of a group of senior students passing by the box, and quickly interrupted John: "So John, which college do you think you will be assigned to?"

"I don't know. Dad said he belongs to Hufflepuff. I might be in Hufflepuff too. But Dad doesn't want to tell me how to sort the house. He said that I will know when the time comes. How about you?"

"I don't know, but it might be Slytherin. My dad, well, my family is all in Slytherin." As soon as Andrew finished speaking, he saw John's terrified expression, as if Andrew had suddenly become Like dementors.

"Me too, I hope to go to Slytherin," Gary Blake, who had been silent on the side, said suddenly, "My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all Slytherins, so if nothing else happens, I will also be a Slytherin." "Andrew swore that Gary definitely did it on purpose, because the look on John Brown's face became even more terrified as soon as he finished speaking, even more terrified than when the dementor appeared just now.

In the following time, Andrew's ears were finally quiet. John Brown huddled in his seat like a quail the whole time, not daring to move.Andrew and Gary Blake smiled at each other, and each lowered their heads to read their books.

"Look," as soon as he got off the train, Gary bumped Andrew's shoulder, motioning him to look at John Brown, who huddled and slipped quickly into the crowd, as if he was afraid that the two of them would eat him.

"Hmph, Hufflepuff!" Gary snorted coldly.

"At least better than Gryffindor." Andrew looked at John who had disappeared and smiled.

Gary laughed too.

"Follow me first-year freshmen!" Andrew saw Hagrid smiling at them in the gloomy night and said, "Watch your step and follow me."

"Aren't we going with them?" Gary asked in a low voice, looking at the freshmen who had left one after another.

"No, they take a carriage, we have to take a boat, and new students have to cross the lake to enter Hogwarts, this is the tradition of the school." Andrew explained softly, stepping into a small boat with Gary and two other students.

"Wow!" When they saw the towering castle, everyone was amazed. It turned out that the school looked so magnificent from the lake. This was more exciting than Beauxbaton's small floral-style campus. Andrew thought with.

When he followed Professor McGonagall into the auditorium, Andrew smiled reassuringly after seeing his father in the teacher's seat.
