Chapter 31 Journey to the Seashore
Chapter 31 Journey to the Seashore
Seeing that Andrew is about to go on summer vacation, Alia plans to take him out for some days, and the sunny Mediterranean Sea is a good choice.
"Is Dad going too?" When Arya told Andrew about her summer travel plan, his first reaction was Dad.
"Well," Arya couldn't help but feel a little bit amused, she and Andrew were the closest before, why did Andrew think about everything when Snape came? "This mother is not sure, but Andrew, you can invite it yourself to see if Dad is willing."
Better not come!
Sure enough, as Arya expected, Snape refused. After seeing the disappointed expression on the child's face, Arya had long forgotten her previous expectations, and kept cursing Snape secretly in her heart. Uninterested.
This is Andrew's first foreign trip, and it can be seen that he wants Snape to go with him. Arya knows that Andrew's friend Michael often says where his parents take him to play, and every time Arya takes him When going out, Andrew would always look enviously at the children holding their fathers in one hand and their mothers in the other. Arya thought about it, although she thought Mr. Snape was not a very good travel companion, at least if he was around , Andrew will be happier.
I still have to find a way, watching the lonely child walk into the campus slowly, Arya squinted her eyes and thought.
Three days later, Snape told Andrew that he had changed his mind and could go on a trip with Andrew.Seeing the child's uncontrollable happy smile, Arya and Snape looked at each other, Snape was still expressionless, but Arya smiled with bent lips, admiring Snape's speechlessness.
Getting Snape to change his mind was not difficult at all, nor was it easy at all. Apart from being patient with Andrew, Snape was relentless towards others!Of course, this other person also includes Arya.If you come to be tough, he will be stronger than you, and if you are a little weaker, he will not sympathize with you, but will immediately ridicule your weakness, and Arya has no other choice but to use both soft and hard.
During a dinner, Snape's tone was light, but his expression was full of pride when he said that after Slytherin won the Quebec Championship again, Arya naturally praised him eagerly, which made Snape feel better. , took advantage of the opportunity to talk about Andrew's football game.Andrew is the main player of the football team, and it would be great if his father was there during practice, Arya mentioned lightly.
It was taken for granted that Snape had to go to work that day, so it was naturally impossible to go. What was too much was that he criticized this stupid Muggle movement on the spot at the dinner table. Seeing the child teary again, Arya hurriedly Stop Snape's big words!
So, after begging Snape not to make the child sad again, the next day the owl handed him a sincere request letter, asking Snape to join Andrew's long-awaited trip, and Snape, like Ai As Liya expected, she didn't reply immediately. Later, as Arya expected, when Andrew asked again, Snape agreed.
They set off as soon as Snape's school work was over.
"Mom, mom. Will the plane fall?" Andrew was very worried about his first air travel, and asked worriedly, lying in front of the bright glass.
"Baby, of course not. You must know that the possibility of a plane crash is very small, just as small as your chance of finding money when you go out." Arya shook the magazine and said with a smile.
"Hey, don't you know where dad is?" Little Andrew seemed to sigh deeply.
Although Snape agreed to travel together, he resolutely disagreed with the "inefficient" transportation method of Muggles. He would go directly to the destination and wait for Arya. Originally, he had to take Andrew with him, um, Apparate, but Arya refuses.
Ignoring Snape's black face at the time, she hoped that this trip would give Andrew a brand new experience. Wizards' way of travel is convenient and quick, but Arya didn't want Andrew to become those closed wizards in Diagon Alley. You should learn from both worlds and understand two different worlds at the same time. Only after you have a deep understanding will you make the most suitable choice in the future, which is good for Andrew's growth.
"Dad!" Andrew rushed towards Snape at the door of the hotel Arya had booked.
"Good afternoon, Severus." Arya raised her big sunglasses that almost covered half of her face, smiling like a flower.
"Good afternoon, Arya." Snape gave Arya a cold look, then looked down at Andrew.Andrew was happily telling his father about flying in the sky in an airplane.
Arya frowned and looked at the father and son walking in front. Andrew was wearing short-sleeved shorts and small leather sandals. Arya was also dressed coolly. Snape, although he took off his robe, was still wearing a long coat. Long sleeves and black!The buttons on the neck are still tightly fastened, and there is no skin exposed on the whole body except the face, isn't it hot?Arya felt hot for him just looking at it.
But such a picture didn't attract anyone's attention among the group of people who were all dressed coolly!I also know that some wizard's tricks must have been used.
"Well, Andrew and I sleep in this room. Your room is here. Sorry, the hotel rooms near the beach are relatively tight, and there is only this one suite." Arya said apologetically to Snape, rubbing her hands awkwardly.
It wasn't that the hotel had no rooms, but that there was only one good room. It was impossible for her and Andrew to live in a good place and let Snape live in a standard room.
Snape looked at Arya intently, saw her apologetic, and said lightly, "It's okay, Andrew. You can't lie on the railing!" Then he walked quickly to the balcony and entered the room with Andrew's clothes .
Andrew was used to his father's strict rules, even if he was carried into the room like a turtle, he didn't care at all. Instead, he ran to Snape's room with a smile and jumped on his bed: "Wow, that's great, Dad, this is us." Is there a bed for the two of you to sleep in tonight? Great!"
Snape hadn't responded yet, and Arya yelled sadly: "Andrew, you're going to sleep with mom at night, in the next room, this is dad's bed alone."
"Uh," Andrew stood on the bed and said distressedly: "Mom, of course I would like to stay with you, but, but, I am no longer a child. You are a girl and I am a boy. It is inconvenient for us to sleep together. What. Right?"
Arya clutched "Crackling"'s cracking heart and cried, "Andrew, I'm your mother, what's the inconvenience?" Isn't it a child?A kid under the age of five even said that he is no longer a kid!
"Well, but, but I'm already going to primary school! Primary school students won't sleep with mother!" Andrew's tone seemed to be that primary school students are already adults!
"Andrew!" Arya was frustrated, she glanced at Snape, who was watching the show, and thought about it: "Andrew, your father is not used to sleeping with other people, so if you disturb your father's rest, don't worry about it." Okay, come on, mommy will take you to take a bath, shall we go to rest?"
"You know, Arya." Snape dragged the letters, word by word, and said very clearly: "Actually, I don't dislike sleeping in the same room with Andrew. Andrew is right, after all, he is no longer It's a little inconvenient to sleep with mother when the baby is born."
Arya was sure she hated Snape's silky voice so much at this moment!Hate it more than ever!She shouldn't have had Snape on the trip!
"Yeah, yeah, Mom, Michael said he's been sleeping alone since he was a kid. I've grown up!" Andrew still echoed.
The smile on Snape's face at the moment was so schadenfreude that Arya wanted to punch him!
In the end, I had no choice but to go back to the room to fetch pajamas and a change of clothes for Andrew. Seeing that Andrew had buried herself in the quilt, with a look of "he won't show his face until his mother leaves", Alia tried to make the last effort : "Andrew, what should you do if your father is going to snore so you can't sleep? If you can't sleep, you won't have the energy to play tomorrow."
"Actually, Miss Dashwood, I never snore when I sleep." Snape coolly made up the knife beside him.
"Hmph, how do you know you're not snoring when you're asleep!" Arya got angry when she heard Snape's voice. He liked to fight Arya very much. will be very proud.
"I am a wizard, of course I know. Oh, I forgot, Miss Dashwood is also a wizard, but she can't even use a wand except for the pendant spell. Of course, Miss Dashwood can't understand the mystery and depth of magic." Snape seized every opportunity to stimulate Arya, especially after she used some tricks to force him to agree to the trip, as long as he seized the opportunity, he would not miss any time to make Arya unhappy!
The exasperated expression on Arya's face seemed to please Snape, and there was even a genuine smile on her face, rather than a sarcasm of her lips.
Can a wizard really know what happens when he falls asleep?Arya is skeptical!The triumphant Snape rolled his eyes, pulled away Andrew who was burying himself in the quilt like a groundhog, and said softly, "Andrew, do you really not sleep with your mother?"
Maybe it was because he had been covered under the quilt for a long time, Andrew's face was flushed, he squinted his eyes and shook his head.Arya had no choice but to calm down and went back to the room by herself.
"Dad, hey, dad." Andrew changed into his pajamas and lay down on the pillow, looking at Snape, who was half lying beside him reading a book, with a smirk.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Snape asked, putting down his book.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to call you." Andrew responded with a smile.After rolling in the quilt for a while, he leaned on Snape again and whispered, "Dad, what are you reading?"
"History of the development of wizards in Spain" Snape replied calmly without taking his eyes off the book.
Like a caterpillar, Andrew crawled through his father's arm and crawled into Snape's arms. After reading for a while, there were too many new words, and he couldn't understand, "Dad, can you read to me? I think don't know."
Snape lowered his eyes and looked at Andrew who was looking up at him expectantly. He was silent and did not speak. He turned the book back to the first page and read in a low voice: "Spanish native wizards have a long history..."
Slowly, slowly, Snape's voice stopped, the little guy on his lap was snoring evenly, and was sleeping soundly.Gently laying the child down on the pillow beside him, Snape looked sideways at the tiny figure, unblinking.
How miraculous, such a small and fragile body contained such a huge power, which he couldn't resist, knowing that the woman from Dashwood was trying to force him to submit, and he obviously had countless ways to make him The woman no longer pestered him, but when he saw the pair of eyes in the double-sided mirror that were exactly like his own and looked at him looking forward to it, his original reason for refusal turned into a promise.
Also, in his memory, he has never shared the same bed with someone while awake, but just now, in a daze, the child slept beside him, and he actually had some expectations!
This little man is more powerful than the Dark Lord and Dumbledore. In front of these two, he can still maintain his rationality, care about the slightest gain and loss, and keep his own heart. However, in front of this little man, he I just want to give him everything I have, his knowledge, his experience, his meager property in the eyes of Alia Dashwood, his thoughts, everything, as long as he has, give him, Give him all the initiative!Willingly, without a trace of regret, as if the Imperius Curse had been cast, completely devoid of reason and persistence.
"Father." The child turned over and murmured in his dream.
"Yeah." Snape replied subconsciously.Touching the child's ruddy face, and his own black and smooth hair, he tucked the child in, imitated Dashwood's movements, and patted the child lightly. If Snape looked in the mirror at this moment, He will find that at this time, there will be tenderness on his face that he has never had before, if every ordinary father's tenderness.
The next day, seeing Arya Dashwood in the living room with dark circles and sluggish spirits, Snape's mood became even better, it could be called sunny!
"Good morning, Miss Dashwood!" Snape was beaming, even with a smile on his face!
"Good morning, Severus." Arya said listlessly, lying on the bar.
"How did you rest last night? Are you still adapting to the new environment?" Snape actually cared about himself?Is the sun coming out in the west?Arya looked at him warily, and sure enough, she heard Snape continue saying: "We had a good rest last night, I mean, me and Andrew, he slept very soundly, I mean, There was no discomfort last night."
really!Sure enough, he was showing off!Childish people!
But, Andrew, Andrew didn't accept the bed?Arya gritted her teeth and looked at Snape, who was drinking coffee with a satisfied face. The coffee was made by her just now!
Ignoring this extremely childish person, Arya held her head up, flicked her ponytail neatly, "huh", turned around proudly and smeared jam on the slice of bread, Snape raised his eyebrows behind Arya, Another leisurely sip of coffee.
The two of them had been eating breakfast quietly like this. When the child was away, the state of the two of them was like this, they would not interfere with each other, and would not take the initiative to communicate, even though Arya would still prepare breakfast for Snape.
