[HP] Mrs. Snape

"Oh, Arya, good afternoon," a tall, stylish woman waved at Arya.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Carter." This is the young and beautiful wife of Mr. White, the owner of the manor.

"Good afternoon Andrew." Mrs. White bent down and extended her hand formally to Andrew.

Apparently, Andrew liked this serious attitude. He pursed his lips and stretched out his small hand with a small dimple, held Mrs. White's hand, shook it decently, and smiled politely. Said: "Mrs. White good afternoon."

The appearance of this little adult made people laugh, but neither Arya nor Mrs. White smiled, and Mrs. White even greeted Andrew with the weather like an adult.Seeing Andrew proudly puffing out his small chest, swallowing his saliva with a flushed face, and Mrs. White saying politely, the two adults looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, and tacitly held Andrew from left to right, Go to the nearby cafe.

"The afternoon tea here is quite edible," Mrs. White said softly, stirring the tea in the thin porcelain cup, taking a sip.

Regarding this kind of comment, Arya smiled and was noncommittal. While listening to Mrs. White's complaints, she turned around and fastened the napkin for Andrew, tried the temperature of the milk before handing it to Andrew.

Finally, Mrs. White made complaints about everything from the tacky little floral decorations in the store to the smell of coffee, and the chat got to the point.

"I'm leaving soon, Arya." Mrs. White was in a low mood.

"Huh?" Arya was a little surprised, "Didn't you say you're going to stay there until Christmas?"

Mrs. White shook her head. "My husband is going to Paris next week. You know, it's all those boring business and entertainment. He asked me to accompany him."

"But your body?" Alia couldn't accept Mr. Carter's decision.This year Mrs. Carter came to town alone, pale and weak, and stayed in bed for a week before getting out of bed.She told Aaliyah that she had another miscarriage, and Mr. Carter felt that this quiet town was more suitable for her to recuperate, so she was sent here less than a week after the miscarriage.

Arya thought of Mrs. Carter's pale, expressionless face when she said those words, and felt sorry for her.Mr. White was talking about self-cultivation. I am afraid that it is true that Mrs. Carter is hiding from the gossip of London society?

At this time, Mrs. Carter's slightly rosy face was filled with irritability. She swallowed a sip of coffee, sipped her plump red lips, and said flatly: "Alia, I really envy you. Really, back then, When I was your age, I also had a child, but I made another choice, but now, there is nothing I can do..."

She turned around and seemed to wipe the corners of her eyes, and Arya quickly turned sideways to fasten the napkin for Andrew, pretending not to see it.

Mrs. Carter turned around with a bright look again, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. By the way, I want to tell you something, yes, about Andrew going to school, South London There are several schools in the district that meet your requirements. One of them is a preparatory school. Most of the students go to public schools after graduation. There are also two private elementary schools that are very good. I recommend Mr. Walker's school to you, Julia and William Tom graduated from this school."

Julia and William are the children of Mr. Carter and his ex-wife.

Andrew is three years old, and Aaliyah has to choose a school for the child in advance.This can't be sloppy, she has only stayed in London for two or three years, and she doesn't know about education, so she can only turn to Mrs. Carter for help.

After receiving a lot of school materials, Arya was really grateful, "Thank you, Lydia."

"You're welcome, thank you for being with me for such a long time. Without you, Alia, I don't know if I can get through this. Here, I can only talk to you a few words " Mrs. Walter habitually took out a cigarette, but her hand paused, looked at Andrew who was eating deliciously sweet pasta wrapped in a spoon, lit the cigarette on the table, and took it away again .

After saying goodbye to Mrs. White, Arya took Andrew and walked slowly towards the house.

Arya had been thinking about moving back to London. The original plan was to talk about it a year later. Andrew was not yet three years old. However, what happened two days ago forced her to advance the plan.

"La la la, la la la, little frog, coo coo, coo coo, croak, turn into a big frog, go and go to find mother, la la la~~" Andrew held his mother's hand and jumped up and down, mouth Humming a song he made up himself.

Looking at the carefree child, the depression that had been pressing on Alia's heart for the past few days dissipated a little. She also started humming along with Andrew. The mother and son changed the tune at will, and the lyrics were not fixed. What did Andrew think of? They sang whatever they wanted, and Arya had a way of making Andrew's out-of-key words into a song anyway.

The small white house came into view, but as soon as she saw the two figures standing at the door of the house, Arya's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately became heavy.

But Andrew was very happy, let go of his mother's hand, ran towards the two people at the door with open arms, and shouted happily: "Grandpa Geller, Grandpa Geller..."

But today, Geller did not pick up the child who had fallen into his arms as usual, but took a few steps back quickly, with a look of fear on his face. Andrew was almost fell down by Mr. Geller who suddenly retreated On the ground, Arya hurriedly ran over to pick up the puzzled child, leaning against the door, the illusion of kindness had disappeared from Arya's face, replaced by a female leopard whose territory had been violated, guarded looking at Mrs. and Mrs. Geller.

"Grandpa, grandpa," Andrew muttered, and waved enthusiastically at Mr. Geller.

Mr. Geller grabbed Mrs. Geller's arm as if he saw a terrible monster, and quickly backed away, not daring to look at Andrew, as if he wanted to run away.

Andrew was very puzzled that Grandpa Geller, who had always liked him very much, ignored him today, and called hesitantly, "Grandpa?"

Alia hugged the child tightly, watching Mr. Geller run away, but Mrs. Geller kept holding her husband's arm and arguing fiercely. Then she shook off her husband's restraint and walked quickly to Alia. , grinning at Andrew, that smile seemed to be the skin on his face to hold up with all his strength.

Andrew was a little frightened, and Arya felt the child in her arms shudder, shrinking in her arms and not daring to move.

Arya gently stroked Andrew's back, looked warily at Mrs. Geller who was a little embarrassed and kept rubbing her hands, and deliberately remained silent, waiting for her to speak.

Mrs. Geller didn't hold on for long, she looked at the expressionless Alia hesitantly, and murmured: "Miss Dashwood, I'm sorry, that, the house, the house can't be rented to you, I, we, My kids are coming back before Christmas, so, so, please move away as soon as possible?"

Sure enough, Arya sneered in her heart, but still maintained that domineering look on her face, raised her chin and said lazily: "Mrs. Geller, I remember that I just paid a year's rent last month." , That’s not what you said at the time.”

Arya's words made Mrs. Geller a little angry. She gritted her teeth, her face showed her usual meanness, her high cheekbones twitched, and she lowered her voice, as if being heard Yes, and said angrily: "You know why! That night! Those things your son did! According to our past relationship, I will keep a secret for you, but this pair of monsters must not live in my house... "

"A pair of what?" Arya asked loudly, the anger in her eyes made Mrs. Geller flinch, "A pair of what? Mrs. Geller! What do you want to say!" Arya refused to let go, snapped!

"I don't allow you to slander my son like this, no! Do you hear me? No!" Arya was like an enraged leopard, threatening Mrs. Geller and hesitantly, who were spitting bad words and walking away. Mr. Geller roaring to his wife!

"I don't think we have any friendship anymore! Mrs. Geller, Mr. Geller! Then we talk according to the contract! Now that I have paid the next year's rent, I have the right to live as long as I don't want to live ! If you break the contract halfway, my lawyer is always available, and more!" Alia turned around before entering the door, and the eyes that used to be full of gentle smiles were now full of cold and fierce light, which made the Gellers I couldn't help shivering, "If I hear any rumors about my son, Mrs. Geller, I'm sure you won't want to try some of my little tricks, understand?"

"You're threatening me?" Mrs. Geller mustered up her courage, and growled in a more ferocious tone.

"No, I'm not threatening, I'm just stating the facts." Arya's tone softened, and she even smiled at Mrs. Geller, although this smile made Mrs. Geller obviously more afraid, "I will move Go, dear Mary, as soon as you wish, but we will get on as usual before we leave, will you? I heard that your youngest son is doing well in Mr. Carter's company. Is it? It’s not easy to raise three kids when you know the unemployment rate is so high.”

Mr. Geller took a cold breath, and he looked at Arya in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that such words came from Arya's mouth.

Alia sneered, what right did he have to look at him like this, after the couple begged Alia to recommend their youngest son to Mr. Carter's company, they were not qualified to show off in front of her!Cowardly man!

Without even looking at Mr. Geller, Alia showed a bright smile to Mrs. Geller again, as in the past, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Have we reached a consensus? Mary," seeing Mrs. Geller straight up in horror. Nodding, Arya showed a real smile, bowed politely to the two people at the door, and said cheerfully: "Then, Mrs. Geller, Mr. Geller, I think we will say goodbye, good night."

Arya's soft voice whispered good night, as if the scene of showing fangs and claws just now had never existed, and the vicious female leopard became a harmless cat again.

Ignoring the blue and purple faces of the two people at the door, Arya seemed to be in a happy mood and closed the door, and even hummed a song: "One crow quack, two crows quack..."

"Mom, did Mrs. Geller argue with you?" Andrew asked while lying on the sofa with a frog puppet in his arms.During the conflict, Arya immediately let the child into the house.

She was a little hesitant to tell the truth. Although Andrew didn't like Mrs. Geller very much, he had always been very attached to Mr. Geller. He always called him Grandpa Geller, and he went to Geller's house almost every day. She had some I couldn't bear to tell Andrew that his grandpa Geller might not like him anymore.

Kneeling down and making eye contact with Andrew, Alia tried to use a very flat tone and said: "Yes, Andrew, Mrs. Geller and I had a quarrel, and we have some conflicts that cannot be resolved, so we and the Geller family Maybe not as good as it used to be."

"Like Susie and Bruce? Bruce ripped off Susie's bunny ears. Susie, Susie was very angry, so she stopped talking to Bruce. Grandpa Geller stopped talking to me just now." Andrew Tilting his head, he seemed to be wondering why Grandpa Geller didn't talk to him, "I, I didn't make Grandpa Geller angry."

Arya breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, what happened that night did not affect Andrew: "It's not your fault, baby. This problem is the fault of the adults."

"Is that Mrs. Geller?" Andrew asked. "Mrs. Geller never liked Mom."

"Huh? She doesn't like me?" Arya was a little surprised. Of course, Mrs. Geller didn't like her a little bit. Every time Mrs. Geller spoke to her, her tone was always so subtle, and there were some faint Hostility, this Arya can feel it, but both of them are good at hiding their emotions, even Mr. Geller didn't notice it, he always thought that Arya and his wife Mary were best friends, but Andrew How do you know?

Gazing at his mother, Andrew stood on the sofa, folded his arms, and said condescendingly, "Of course she doesn't like you, every time she sees you wearing nice clothes, she always squints at you," Andrew imitated Geller The expression of the wife rolling her eyes secretly, "In places where you can't see, she often whispers about you to those wives, I know it all! This is not good, Susie said it is jealousy among women!" Andrew said, " Mom, why are you so stupid" expression.

Arya was completely stunned. She knew that Andrew was smart, but she didn't expect him to be so precocious.

"It's okay Mom, don't be sad, there are other people." Andrew patted his mother's shoulder lightly to comfort him.He meant that Arya was not only a friend of Mrs. Geller, she had other friends too.

"Oh, baby," Arya, who was comforted by her son, hugged Andrew, held her up high, and kissed the child all over her face, Arya was very happy: "Mom's little angel, why are you so good. "

Andrew "giggled" at his mother's kiss, kicked his legs and said: "High, high, fly high!"

This is a game that Susie and her father often play. Toss the child up and catch it. Andrew likes it very much, but recently Andrew has gradually gained weight, and Alia can't handle it anymore. She dare not play this game again. Now I hear The son asked, and Arya, who was so soft in her heart, couldn't bear to refuse the child at all.

"Oh," Arya threw her arms high, and quickly caught the child amidst Andrew's excited screams.

"Come again, higher, mother, higher!" Andrew yelled.

Shaking her numb arm, Arya laughed and threw Andrew up vigorously. Sure enough, it was even higher, and Andrew almost touched the chandelier.

When Arya was about to run over to catch the child, she tripped over the doll under her feet, staggered involuntarily, and failed to catch the child. Seeing that Andrew was about to fall hard to the ground, Arya flew and threw herself on the table. The next yelled in horror: "Andrew!"

Then, everything in front of her was like a slow motion, she saw her Andrew hit the floor that she was too late to reach, and then, at that moment, the floor seemed to become a trampoline, Andrew's body just touched the floor, was hit by a An inexplicable force bounced into the air, once, again...

Andrew was bouncing in the air with his hands up at his mother, screaming, "Mommy, mommy. Fly, fly!"

Arya didn't have time to be surprised, she ran to Andrew's body, caught her son, and held her son tightly in her arms. She didn't know what to say, so she could only murmur: "Andrew, Andrew, Mommy's baby, Andrew, are you all right, are you all right?"

It happened again, this kind of thing happened again, she found some abnormalities when Andrew was still in his infancy, she clearly remembered to put away Andrew's dolls and put them in the laundry basket, but when she turned around, those dolls would come back To Andrew's Cradle...

This happened several times, and she comforted herself at the time by saying that maybe she was so busy that her head was confused and her memory was wrong.Later, Andrew gradually became able to speak and express his thoughts, so this rarely happened, and Arya became more firm about the fact that she had misremembered.

But at noon three days ago, when Mrs. Geller dragged Mr. Geller to check whether Alia had done some irreparable damage to their house as usual, Alia left the two of them to have afternoon tea together.

It was Andrew's cake day, and every Wednesday, Alia would make a dessert that Andrew wanted, sometimes raspberry cake, sometimes puffs, apple pie, and Andrew's favorite was served with maple syrup Sponge pudding.

That day, when the Gellers came, Arya just put the sponge pudding on the table. In order to control the child's sugar intake, the pudding she made was not big, just enough for Andrew to eat.

Arya was preparing hot scones when the incident happened, and Mrs. Geller's horrified screams made Arya almost throw away the plate in her hand, waiting for her to rush out of the kitchen After that, she was a little stunned by what she saw.

Andrew on the children's chair flicked the spoon in his hand unhappily, patted the table angrily, and glared at Mrs. Geller, while the missing piece of sponge pudding was floating above Andrew's head, shaking left and right , as if the cake itself was afraid of being eaten, and avoided Mrs. Geller's bloody mouth in horror.

When Andrew saw his mother, he pointed angrily at Mrs. Geller who was still screaming, and complained to his mother aggrievedly: "Andrew's pudding! Andrew's!"

On the other side, Mr. Geller seemed to have been hit by a sap, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at Andrew like a devil from hell.

Arya quickly walked around Mrs. Geller, who had been limp on the ground but was still screaming hoarsely, hugged the aggrieved Andrew, and quickly slapped the pudding floating in the air. With a "bang", the pudding fell On the table, it fell to pieces.

Andrew looked back and saw it, wow, burst into tears, kicked his calf while crying and shouted: "My pudding, Andrew's, pudding, mom, Andrew's pudding."

Andrew's cries seemed to have awakened Mr. Geller, who looked like a wooden man. He tremblingly pointed his finger at Arya's mother and child, muttering words like "devil". Mrs. Geller quickly got up from the ground, A huge force seemed to burst out of his thin and short body, dragging Mr. Geller, and he ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After comforting the crying Andrew, Arya saw the Gellers sneaking around the corner of the wall through the window of the living room, went around the house, and went to the church. I went back, and when I passed by Arya's house, I didn't even dare to look at it as if I was avoiding a scourge.

That night, Andrew got a hot sponge pudding again, and Arya stayed up all night, watching her son without blinking.

Arya, who was in a panic, hugged her son who almost fell to the floor just now, and kept wandering around the room until Andrew fell into a deep sleep.

This ability of Andrew became more and more obvious, and Arya stood in front of the window, thinking quietly.

It must be removed as quickly as possible, Mrs. Geller's tongue, Arya never believed that any secret that had been in her mouth for less than a day would be known to the whole town.Although the future of Geller's son was threatened today, God knows what that woman can do. Today, she can see from a distance that the Gellers are throwing a bottle of something at the house.Arya knew it was holy water from the priest!

Arya knew that she had to plan for the worst, and she couldn't pray for the kindness in human hearts. From her experience since she was a child, people are more inclined to reject and eliminate, rather than tolerate, the aliens who are different from them.

Now Andrew is still ignorant of all this, he doesn't understand that ability is special, he is just born to be able to do this, and if the child grows up, people around will give him strange eyes and call him "" What should Andrew do when he sees monsters, freaks, devils?

Arya knows this feeling all too well. It happened to her when she was a child. This is also the reason why her parents divorced and her mother dared not ask a nanny to take care of her. She scared away two nanny and one of them passed out on the spot. At that time, Alia, who liked to play with water, made the water in the bathtub rise several meters out of thin air, and she was lying on the high water column.

Dad blamed his mother for giving birth to a monster, and then left without looking back, while Arya was sent to boarding school by her mother. At that time, she was lying in the keyhole of the principal's office when she was young, and heard her mother say to the principal in a low voice : "This kid is a monster!"

monster!What kind of treatment a girl gets when her own mom calls her a monster!

The headmaster and teachers liked the well-behaved and sensible Arya at first, but one night, after she was locked in a dark toilet by those older children, she became a real child of the devil in the school, because she Conjures a shiny, unwired, unlit light bulb for the toilet without any wires, and talks to an empty wall as if someone is there...

Then Arya was completely reduced to an alien in the school, no one dared to provoke her, but no one wanted to get close to her!A four-year-old girl who walks alone...

Until she had Lin, Lin taught her to hide these abilities subtly, taught her how to please the teachers, how to fight the bullies in the school, how to ease the relationship with the parents, how to make close friends, how to stand for herself Strive for maximum benefit...

It can be said that Lin taught her all her survival skills. Without Lin, Alia thought, she might have died in that hellish school early!

She didn't want her Andrew to encounter such a thing again, and she had to plan well while everything was still in its infancy.

At noon the next day, Arya took Andrew to visit Lydia Carter.
