[HP] Mrs. Snape

Three years later, in the small town of Stratford, Warwickshire, in central England, the park beside the town is filled with a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. The weather has been fine and sunny recently, and the children are happy to stay in the park after school in the afternoon For a moment, they played and played with each other; the housewives who had been busy all day also came out of the house one after another, they had already finished their day's housework, they had just had afternoon tea, and there was still some time before dinner, this was their leisure time; Those children who are not old enough to go to school are also led out for a walk by their mothers, and all the way they raised their heads and chattered some childish words to their mothers or nanny...

"Good afternoon, Mrs. White."

"Oh, Mrs. Green, you look very good today. It seems that you are recovering from your cold, don't you?"

"Hi Rachel, did you have a good day at school? See you later, we have Mozart tonight."

"Hey, George, I was chatting with Lila about you, no, I didn't say you were bad, in fact, you are very good, George, your fingering is very professional, do you have time on Saturday afternoon? We will meet in the classroom around three o'clock Come along, Rilla, and we'll have a good talk about how you played that sad piece of Chopin so cheerfully, shall we? Go and play, your classmates are waiting for you..."

"Dear Lila, I understand that George is going to participate in the competition in two months. It's actually normal. At his carefree age, he can't experience the kind of entanglement and sadness. How about this? We'll try again next week, if it doesn't work we'll change the track, don't worry darling. Dinner? Oh, really? Thank you so much darling, I'm honored, ok, Sunday night Be sure to be on time for the appointment…”

"Good afternoon, Mr. Geller, have you received my little cherry? You're welcome. You and Mrs. Geller helped me and my children a lot when we first came here. This is what I should do. Yes, take Andrew for a walk Oh, yes, his cold is gone, it may be that the sudden cold weather made him have a low-grade fever, Dr. Mark said he needs fresh air, please send my regards to Mrs. Geller, okay, see you later."

……

A slender and graceful woman led a three-year-old little boy who walked slowly in the park with a little trembling, stopping from time to time to greet the people next to him warmly.It can be seen that she is very popular. People passing by are willing to stop and talk to her. Even pedestrians who are in a hurry will take off their hats and smile at her. Maybe her smile is too bright, or she His attitude is too kind, along the way, regardless of the elderly and children, women and men will look at the mother and child with smiles.

Unlike the bright smile on the young mother's face that never fades away, the little son has a straight face, and there is rarely a smile on his chubby little face, no, more often there is even little expression, always He is looking at you with those big eyes like black pearls, but even so, people in the town still like him very much, especially their landlord, Mr. Geller, who almost regards this little guy named Andrew as his own relative. grandson!

At first when this beautiful woman named Arya moved to this small town with her infant son, almost everyone looked sideways!Think about it, a girl who just turned 20 has a child, and the child doesn't even have a father!How could this not make the people in the small town excited? That night, rumors about the blonde and her infant son had spread to the entire town, and all kinds of speculations and rumors were flying in the sky!

And two days later, in the face of everyone's questions, her landlord, Mrs. Geller, commented that "she is not bad". You must know that Mrs. Geller is not an ordinary person. She is famous for her strictness and difficult to get along with. Stratford Town!Her previous tenant was directly kicked out by Mrs. Geller, because this tenant made her house unrecognizable!In fact, the hapless tenant just nailed a few unauthorized nails to hang his paintings on the wall... and Aaliyah Dashwood even had a pre-year-old baby with him!

But two weeks later, the people in the town understood why Geller liked this woman named Arya so much. She was so good that she was as dazzling as an angel.After settling in, she took the children and some small gifts and visited them one by one. Almost everyone received the gifts very well. They found that those small gifts were exactly what they liked or needed, such as the scriptures of Pastor William and the oil paintings of Ms. Carl. Fuel, Mrs. Ken's Indian tea...

A likable and beautiful girl, and her very cute son, will always make people's hearts soften.

Arya took Andrew by the hand, walked outside a playground specially opened for children, squatted beside the children and said, "Honey, do you want to play? Look, Susie is there."

The little man curled his lips, frowned, looked at the girl beside the slide who was waving at him, shook his head, and said in a big way: "No, childish!"

Alia smiled inwardly, looking at her three-headed son with a chubby little face, she poked the dimples on the little face with a smile, and couldn't help laughing.

Who does this kid look like?At such a young age, he likes to pretend to be an adult. Since he was a baby, he always likes to be alone quietly. Except when he is hungry or stinky, he hums twice. At that time, he seldom cried, and most liked to stare at the colorful puppet on the cradle.

Andrew gradually learned to speak and walk, and his personality traits became more and more obvious. He was a quiet child who didn't like noise, and didn't like other people making loud noises. Whenever Alia carried him to play with other children, little Andrew Little's brows are always frowning; and when he is alone, he is always in a happy mood. Little Andrew likes to sit alone on the rug in front of the fireplace and flip through colorful picture books. Staying in the garden, an ant, a ladybug, a flower, or a green leaf can make little Andrew stare intently for a long time...

Andrew also likes to go to Mr. Geller's house to play. Every time Mr. Geller holds him in his arms and puts him on his lap, Andrew will grit his teeth and look satisfied.Later, Andrew told Aaliyah that Mr. Geller was as soft as cotton candy and smelled of sunshine and grass.

As soft as cotton candy, Arya can understand that Mr. Geller is fat and has a big belly, and Andrew, who is still a baby, likes to lie on Mr. Geller's big belly and stroke his beard.But the smell of sunshine and grass?After thinking about it carefully, Alia realized that Mr. Geller loves gardening, and he would spend several hours in his big garden almost every day. What Andrew said might be the fragrance of the grass on Mr. Geller's clothes.

Since Andrew was born, Alia has not gone out to look for a job. She relies on her savings and the stock income from her previous investment to live. The life of mother and son is not bad, and she is unwilling to leave Andrew.

They moved to this small town when the baby was born. When Andrew was young, Alia moved the baby's cradle wherever she went, and never let the baby out of her sight!Later, when the child grew up, she would either hold the child in her arms, or lay her arms around him on the bed or on the carpet and teach him to read. Even cooking, washing clothes, and housework were done with the child on her back!

Arya felt her heart, her lungs, even her breath filled with love, she had never been so content and happy, she wanted to give the best of everything in the world to her Andrew, she wanted her Little baby becomes a happy little prince!

Squatting beside his son, he couldn't help kissing Andrew's soft hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, then we won't play in the sand, shall we go to the Little Kingdom?"

Sure enough, before the words finished, Andrew's eyes shone like the brightest little stars.

Arya picked up the child and walked towards a small corner of the park with a smile on her face.

This is Andrew's little kingdom. In the southeast corner of the park, the small river passing through the town forms a shallow bay here, clear and bright, and the cobblestone shore is full of thriving green grass and small flowers. Andrew likes it in the grass All kinds of small flying insects.And in Xiaoshuiwan, when the river just thawed, Andrew found a few small fish, and later there were small tadpoles, which was a new thing he had never seen before. Andrew was very interested in it, and asked his mother to bring him here almost every day. .

On that night, on a dark and windy night, while Andrew was asleep, she carried a shovel and secretly dug the small puddle deeper, and then piled up the small puddle with stones to form a small puddle. The small closed pond was finally uneasy, and the surroundings of the pond were raised with pebbles to ensure that these little tadpoles could stay here until they turned into frogs.

Sure enough, during the afternoon walk the next day, Andrew took his mother and ran towards the small puddle excitedly, and when he saw those tadpoles were still there, he happily clapped his hands.Later, Alia took Andrew to buy some small fry and put them in the small pond, and Mr. Baker, the park administrator, fished a few small turtles from the small river and put them in. This place became Andrew's small kingdom.

The little tadpoles had already grown their front legs, and they were wandering among the goldfish with their long tails. To be honest, this appearance seemed a bit disgusting to Arya. She turned her eyes away secretly and focused on those Cute little turtle and little goldfish.One of the turtles was missing, Mr. Baker told Arya, it was the boys who did it, and if he hadn't arrived in time, they might have taken all the turtles and fish.Alia immediately expressed her sincere thanks to Mr. Carter.

Unlike his mother's dislike of the no longer cute tadpoles, Andrew is full of interest. He has already squatted by the pond and stared at the little creatures with wagging tails. Now the only one who stays in the pond and successfully grows limbs is Only three.

"Mom, mom, my schoolbag, my schoolbag." Andrew reached out to his mother for his small backpack.

"Huh?" Arya handed the small frog-shaped backpack to Andrew in doubt, and then watched him struggle to unbutton the backpack, took out the biscuits Arya prepared for him, and carefully broke off the fingernails Throw it into the small pond on tiptoe, and then watch the small fish gather quickly, blushing with excitement.

Arya squatted beside the child without stopping, watching him struggling to hold the backpack and breaking the biscuits with his soft little fingers. For the convenience of Andrew, those snacks were all in small bite sizes. It's easy to break apart.But she didn't help either. There were Andrew's water bottle and coat in the backpack. The weight was a bit heavy for the child. Andrew also felt it. He shook his arms, looked down, squatted down carefully, and patted his feet with his little hands. He slowly put the remaining half of the biscuit on the grass, and then stroked the grass next to him with his sleeve, before putting his small backpack on the ground. "Bang", Andrew didn't care, picked up the biscuit, puffed out his red mouth and blew it, and then continued to hold the biscuit bit by bit to feed the fish.

Arya is full of pride, her little one is not only smart, but also clean, and doing it all on her own is amazing.Every step of the child's development is a joy for Arya.

When the mother and son returned home holding hands, chatting and laughing, Rachel was already waiting outside the door. Arya quickly invited Rachel to the living room and made a cup of tea for her, while she carried Andrew to the piano room to prepare.

After Andrew learned to walk, Arya started a small music classroom at home and taught the children in the town to play the piano.Although she has a lot of savings now, Lin has always told her since she was a child that she should be prepared for danger in times of peace. It is best not to keep the deposit, and open source is the right way.

What's more, in October, Andrew will already be three years old, and it's time to prepare for the school that the child will go to in the future. Alia plans to take the child to London by then. Although the town of Stratford is very good—— The scenery is beautiful, the cultural atmosphere is strong, and because it is a tourist town, it is not as closed as other towns.But the educational resources here are not very good. Aliya has already started to investigate several schools in London, and now it is just a matter of selection.

And good schools, especially private preparatory courses are not cheap, and the number of places in the school is also limited. The best way is to rent or buy a house in the corresponding school district, which requires Aaliyah to save money before Andrew is five years old big money.

This music classroom usually has two hours of classes every night, all of which are one-to-one teaching. There will be improvement classes on weekends. During the holidays, Alia will also open some large-scale music popularization classes. In addition to making people's lives a little more prosperous, it also allowed Arya to save some money and invest it in her investments.

Rachel is nine years old, and her parents want her to have an elegant hobby, with lessons twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.For her piano study, Alia does not require her to have superb skills. What she requires most is to be able to play a few elegant pieces proficiently. Of course, it would be better if there is her own emotional resonance in it.

When his mother was in class, Andrew was lying on the sofa in the piano room, flipping through his picture albums, kicking his calves, humming a few words to Rachel's piano when he was happy, enjoying himself very much.

The sofa is placed opposite the piano, where Arya can see it as long as she looks up.The sofa is thick and wide, all made of soft fabric, without any edges and corners. The floor is covered with thick plush carpets. On the blankets and the sofa are scattered Andrew’s toys, some picture books, building blocks and flashcards, as well as Andrew’s most beloved ones. The puppet in the shape of various animals and plants that I like, this is made by my mother.

Amid the soothing sound of the piano, Andrew's little head began to move little by little, and his eyelids began to twitch. He was sleepy, rolled over, wrapped himself in a blanket, closed his eyelids, and fell asleep.

Arya softly guided Rachel to play the wrong scale just now, and smiled as she listened to her son's slow breathing.

After Rachel left, Arya gently picked up the baby.

"Mom," Andrew called softly, with his head buried in his mother's neck.

"Well, mom is here, baby" leaned over and kissed the child's rosy cheek

"Pajamas," Andrew reminded his mother, tugging at his T-shirt.

Putting the child on her heart, she said softly, "Baby, go to sleep, mom will change it for you."

After hearing this, Andrew sank his head in his mother's arms in peace, and fell asleep peacefully.

Arya stroked the child's soft hair, and couldn't help laughing. This child, since he started to know things, has consciously followed some rules, such as washing his face and brushing his teeth before going to bed, wearing pajamas when going to bed, and wearing pajamas when entering the room. Slippers, you need to wear a coat when you go out, and even if it’s hot, you have to put the coat in your bag and bring it with you... Be strict and never mess it up.Once last winter, Andrew caught a cold and had a fever, and Alia didn’t change his clothes for fear of trouble when he slept at night. As a result, the child woke up in the middle of the night. At that time, Alia was too tired and fell asleep. After being awakened by the child’s crying, she hurriedly got up , but saw Andrew undressing anxiously while crying. He was too young to do anything, so he could only tear his clothes anxiously, crying and grievously shouting "Mom, mom, clothes, clothes...Andrew, clothes... "

Thinking of this, Arya chuckled lightly, touched the child's bright red face, with his forehead resting on Andrew's little head, which was still a little hot, and gently took out the thermometer from the child's creaking nest, which was two degrees higher.It has been like this for the past few days. At night, I started to have a low-grade fever. It was useless to see the doctor. After taking the medicine, I got better during the day and continued to have a fever at night. Alia thought that I must go to the city tomorrow, although she believed in it. Dr. Mark's medical skills, but after all, the hospitals in the city are more advanced, especially now that even Dr. Mark can't find out the reason why the child has a low fever.
