Chapter 174 Let's Feed the Pigeons Together
The street scene in Paris is actually nothing to look at, especially if you just got a shocking news.
Fortunately, Snape came out less than 10 minutes after Alice was in a daze.
"So what did the principal tell you? Why did you dismiss me?" She asked curiously.
Snape didn't hide it: "It's just to remind me to pay attention to the snake beside that person. Dumbledore doesn't know where he got the news. The snake is not normal, so he suspects that it is also a Horcrux."
"Alive?" Alice repeated incredulously, "Can a living body also become a Horcrux?"
This time Snape was silent for a long time, with a complex expression that Alice couldn't understand: "According to Dumbledore, it is indeed so."
Alice took a deep breath, she hadn't realized the true evil side of the Horcrux until now.It is a terrible thing to turn a living body into a residence for one's own soul, to control and usurp the consciousness of the living body.She would rather die than become such a monster who is neither human nor ghost.
"Cuckoo"
A little girl not far away was feeding the pigeons with bread crumbs. Alice was startled by the overwhelming number of white pigeons falling.
"Okay, there's enough time left for us to rush back to England." Snape said, looking at the time.
In fact, there was no need to rush, because the distance between Britain and France was not far, and they had plenty of time left, not to mention the presence of Apparition.
"Speaking of which, why did you have to drive me out to remind you of a snake?" Alice looked at Snape suspiciously, "Is there something you guys are hiding from me? It has something to do with me? It has something to do with Voldemort? "
Seeing Alice's reaction, Snape said directly without concealment: "It has something to do with you, not the mysterious person, so I won't and don't need to tell you."
Now that Snape had said that, it was absolutely impossible to reveal it again.Alice curled her lips uninterestedly, and took advantage of the opportunity to see the little brown-haired girl.
"Sev!" Alice said excitedly, "let's feed the pigeons!"
Snape was thinking of finding some reason not to let Alice continue to ask, when he suddenly heard her words, he couldn't help showing a bit of surprise.
"Why not only keep the secret from me, but now you can't even feed a pigeon with me?" Alice pretended to wipe away her tears.
Sensing the gossiping eyes of passers-by around him, Snape sighed helplessly.It's better to feed the pigeons than Alice to keep asking.
The pigeons on the square may have been fed too much and developed a bold temperament.The bread that Alice bought from the store excitedly was snatched up by pigeons swarming up before she took it out of the kraft paper.
"How rude," Alice complained, looking at the empty hands, "they don't even say thank you."
"Why, as pigeons, should they line up to receive the crumbs from our Miss Hall, and then give a gentleman's salute?" Snape didn't intend to carry out this childish activity, but just stood aside Said sarcasticly, "I don't understand, why did you go to France to feed the pigeons? Isn't there one in England?"
"Can it be the same?" Alice clapped her hands, and the remaining crumbs fell to the ground, causing a panic. "According to what you said, why do you have to give a separate gift for birthdays? Isn't it the same to give a gift every day?"
"...Do you think your analogy is appropriate?"
"Very appropriate," Alice replied with a smile, "if you don't want to give me presents every day, then shut up."
Snape fell silent.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! You are so fat, be careful to be caught stewing pigeon soup!" Alice couldn't help muttering softly as she looked at a fat pigeon with a big belly wandering around her feet.
"Actually, the nearby animal protection organizations have already brainstormed ways to lose weight for them." A childish voice suddenly sounded.
Alice looked up and found that it was the little brown-haired girl they had seen feeding pigeons on the other side of the square.
"Hi sister, my name is Maya." The little girl has a lovely round face and a row of white and neat teeth.
Hit by the sweet smile of the little girl, coupled with the touch brought by the sentence of sister instead of aunt, Alice clutched her chest for a while before realizing: "Hello, Maya. Nice to meet you, you can call me Alice."
"Hello, Alice." Maya held out her hand in a decent manner.
Even more adorable, Alice hurriedly shook hands with this cute little girl.
Maya looked at Snape beside Alice, hesitated to speak.
"Leave him alone." Alice knew that it was impossible for Snape to become as friendly and pleasing to children as Dumbledore in an instant, so she simply omitted the introduction process.
Snape nodded in satisfaction, obviously very happy with Alice's decision.
Do you still want to have a daughter?A boy as brave as Harry would be afraid to see you.Alice was slandered in her heart, but she still looked at Maya with a friendly smile on the surface: "Did Maya travel to France with her parents? Or is Maya a French person?"
"Maya's father is French, and Maya's mother is British. My father said that Maya is French," Maya explained sternly, "but my mother said that when Maya grows up, she can be from any country she wants."
Still a pair of enlightened parents, or an enlightened mother.Alice smiled even more gently: "Did Maya come out to play alone? It's getting late now, and Mom and Dad should be worried if they don't come home again."
Snape suddenly became interested at this time, he purposely lowered his voice and said, "If you don't go home after the sun sets, some monsters will come out to catch children."
Maya hadn't reacted to Alice's words at first, but she was obviously dumbfounded after hearing Snape's words.
"It's... a monster?" She trembled and asked in a low voice.
"Child-eating monster." Snape smiled, and Alice suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, in the next second, Maya's mouth deflated, and big teardrops fell down.
"Woooooh, Maya doesn't want to be eaten!"
When it was over, Alice glared at Snape, and frantically comforted: "Maya doesn't cry, he lied to you, there are no monsters in this world."
"Really?" Maya asked, sobbing.
Alice's heart melted, and she quickly assured: "Of course, even if there are monsters, monsters are reluctant to eat such a cute child as Maya!"
"Woo, so there are really monsters!" Maya went from sobbing silently to howling.
"You're really good at coaxing children," Snape sighed. "It seems that you are more suitable for teaching children after the age of 11."
"If you hadn't scared her to cry, this wouldn't have happened." Alice squatted in front of Maya without raising her head.
Snape disagreed: "I just found the fastest way to solve the problem. If you ask her, what she wants to do most now is definitely go home."
Alice ignored Snape, she thought for a while, then lowered her head and said to Maya, "Maya, can my sister do magic tricks for you?"
When Snape heard this, his expression changed immediately: "Alice, you know this is in compliance with the regulations. And this is in France, if something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome."
Alice had an idea at first, but now that Snape said so, she had no choice but to retract her hand that was reaching for the wand.
The girl who didn't want to cry suddenly said, "Is my sister a wizard too?"
Alice froze, and even Snape beside him narrowed his eyes suspiciously.In a foreign Muggle street, how likely is it that the little girl who took the initiative to talk to her happened to be a descendant of a wizard?
Alice glanced back at Snape, and answered after the latter's gesture: "Yes, Maya is really smart. How did Maya guess it?"
"Because I saw my sister's wand," Maya stopped crying and looked up triumphantly, "it's almost the same as my mother's wand."
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, but continued to ask: "Maya's mother is also a wizard?"
"Yes, mom can use magic to clean the yard, clean the kitchen, and the cakes mom makes are delicious!" Maya happily introduced her mom, "Daddy is going to be late for work, so mom will take daddy and brush it up." It disappears. Dad will arrive at the company on time, and Mom will swipe again and come back to wake Maya up."
Alice keenly grasped the key point: "Isn't Maya's father a wizard?"
Maya shook her head, feeling a little disappointed: "Mom said, because Dad is not a wizard, so I'm not sure if Maya will become a wizard in the future. Sister, will Maya become a wizard in the future?"
"No," Alice replied confidently, "If Maya doesn't become a witch when she grows up, she will let her mother come to find her sister, and her sister will turn Maya into a good witch."
No matter how much she invested in the treatment of Squibs, seeing the happy look of the little girl now, Alice felt that everything was worth it.
"I knew that my sister must be as powerful as my mother said!" Maya wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes and said loudly.
Snape immediately became alert, and he asked, "What does it mean to be like mother said?"
Maya tilted her head blankly, obviously not understanding Snape's words.
"Does Maya's mother know her sister?" Alice asked another way, "Why does Maya's mother say that her sister is amazing?"
"Because my sister is in my mother's photo album, and my mother said that my sister is her best friend and a very good student." Maya replied obediently.
After a long time, it was my classmate.Alice relaxed completely, and asked with a smile, "What's Maya's mother's name?"
Maya blinked and answered loudly, "Peggy Brown."
……
"Are you really not going to meet her?" Snape asked Alice who was standing at the door of Maya's house.
"Although I don't know why Peggy, who moved to Denmark, married a French Muggle, but now she has a warm family and a lovely daughter, and that's enough," Alice said, looking at the pink villa, " If she asks me why I haven't contacted her for so many years, it's hard for me to answer, isn't it?"
