[HP] Mrs. Snape

Chapter 39 Rejection

Tonight's dinner was a little quieter than usual. After eating the food on his plate, Andrew hurriedly hid in his own room with Xiong Xiong. From the expressions of his parents, he guessed that something might have happened.Andrew hoped so much that it was about Mr. Field, and it would be best if Dad finally realized that they were a family and wanted to maintain his position as the head of the family!

Arya and Snape sat at the dining table in silence, enjoying the food quietly, only the sound of chewing or the clashing of knives and forks could be heard.

Arya finally broke the silence, she believed that if she had not spoken, Snape would have remained silent forever! "I'm sorry, Severus, for my indiscretions this afternoon."

"Indiscretion?" Snape finally raised his eyelids willingly, and said slowly: "Miss Truth, Goodness and Beauty can still speak indiscriminately? Tsk tsk, what a surprise!"

Arya laughed angrily, why does this person look like a child who can't grow up?Andrew is more sensible than him in this respect! "Severus! Don't do this please? We need to talk."

"Okay." Snape put down the knife and fork slowly, picked up the napkin and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, put his hands on the table gracefully, looked up at Arya: "Let's talk."

Arya sighed, well, at least he is willing to taunt her instead of engaging in cold war. You know, Snape is very good at cold war besides taunting this skill. If he wants to, the atmosphere around him for several kilometers It can make you extremely uncomfortable.

"Can you tell me about the time you were bitten by a werewolf?" Arya decided not to waste time, pointing to the core.

"Sorry I can't say, I promised others to keep this secret."

"Your demeanor tells me that's not the reason at all," Arya murmured silently in her heart. If Snape wanted to say that he wouldn't worry about keeping secrets at all, he was just making things difficult for her on purpose.

"Okay, then let's talk about the person who asked you to keep the secret," Arya decided to take a roundabout strategy. For Snape who is fighting with you, a pleasant conversation is simply not possible. . "He defended the werewolf? And asked you to keep quiet about it?"

"Obviously," Snape said, raising an eyebrow.

"It's impossible," Arya frowned and tapped her finger on the table slowly, and said in a low voice, "Ordinary wizards hate werewolves, unless the wizard is a werewolf, and he is powerful or powerful. Werewolves? Or werewolves hidden among ordinary wizards?"

Snape picked up his teacup and took a sip, then said flatly, "Well, I hope he is too, but I'm sorry to tell you that he's really not a werewolf, but you know him."

"Dumbledore?" Arya immediately thought of a name, and there were not many wizards who could force Snape.

Sure enough, seeing Snape nodded, Arya took a breath and called: "How could he do this? To protect a werewolf, well, although I don't think any species can be discriminated against, but to protect a werewolf who bit a wizard, he I'm so confused! Is this werewolf a relative of Dumbledore?"

Obviously, Arya's evaluation of Dumbledore made Snape feel better, and he even took the initiative to respond, "Although not, but I believe the four people would prefer to be."

Foursome?Who is it again?But seeing Snape's hateful tone and expression when he mentioned this word, Arya felt that these four people might be Snape's enemies.

"How old were you when you were bitten, Severus."

"At the age of 15", Snape turned his head to see the pity and sympathy on Arya Dashwood's face, Snape paused, no one had ever leaked such undisguised concern for him after that incident, even Neither did Lily, the anger that had been accumulated all afternoon suddenly dissipated.

However, what Arya said immediately made Snape almost want to throw her a dozen curses. "Severus," she held his hand with tears in her eyes, even a little choked up, "I'm sorry, Sev, I never knew. It turns out that you have been enduring such pain, sorry, Sev, I..."

sorry for what?Snape was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that the woman had misunderstood, "I was almost bitten, almost! If your ears were not deaf! I am not a werewolf! And not all the time you are bitten by a werewolf will turn you into a werewolf! Only when transformed into a werewolf! Damn it! Don't cry!"

Why?Not a werewolf, Arya froze, letting go of Severus's hand in embarrassment.Well, Arya also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She vaguely made an appointment as if she remembered that if she was bitten by a werewolf, she would turn into a werewolf. It would have been better if Severus hadn't been that way. "What happened at the time? Severus S."

Snape was in a much better mood. He took a deep look at Arya, who looked sincerely concerned. Although he was not very happy to be mistaken for a werewolf, Snape's heart softened because of her behavior just now, but he still Unconsciously, she gave this woman who likes to think wildly a white look, and said in a slightly gentle tone: "A group of Gryffindors wanted to get rid of me, but they just ran away in fear when the situation came to an end. Of course Dumbledore must protect me." His favorite student, so it's all the evil Slytherin's fault."

What kind of person would come up with the evil idea of ​​letting a 15-year-old be bitten by a werewolf?It's almost indistinguishable from murder!And Dumbledore actually defended this behavior!Arya frowned thoughtfully.

"Hmph, it's a pity that one died, but was betrayed by his best friend; the other was blown up by his most trusted friend, leaving only half a finger; the other was imprisoned in Azkaban. There are not many left; the remaining one is probably howling at the moon among his werewolf companions, and this is the end of indulgence!" Snape gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Well, that sounds pretty miserable, huh?Arya suddenly stopped, she seemed to have heard this matter somewhere.etc!She had indeed seen similar stories before!

"Why are you going?" Snape called to Arya, who was running away.

"I suddenly thought of something, wait a minute!" Arya ran upstairs and took out a huge box from the cabinet in her room, "Oh, it's so heavy!" Arya almost blinked from being crushed To the waist, too heavy to move downstairs, "Severus! Come up here."

Snape came to her room following Arya's voice strangely, but stood still at the door. For so many years, even though he was familiar with every corner of this house, but Arya Dashwood's The room he never stepped into.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come in!" Sitting on the carpet beside the bed, Arya beckoned to Snape, and buried her head in the box again, "Help me! Why is it so heavy here!"

Snape stepped forward to help Arya take out a large bundle of old newspapers and books from the huge box, and Arya directly put these things on the carpet, "Let me look for it, it seems to be this one, no, I remember The one with a quill on the cover, ah, not this." Arya found a thin booklet from the pile of books.

Snape immediately recognized the anti-Dark Lord tabloids that had been slyly circulated among wizards during the Dark Lord's reign, full of things like Death Eater revelations or who was being attacked again.The Order of the Phoenix even sent some news through this. He didn't expect Arya to have it. Moreover, Snape flipped through the neatly bundled booklets, almost all of them were there, oh, this one It was about the murder of Benji Fenwick, and the news of Dorcas Meadows' death. He remembered that Dorcas Meadows seemed to be fed a snake by the Dark Lord...

"Found it!" A crisp voice jolted Snape awake, and Arya pointed to an old newspaper on the floor and read: "The insane Black laughed wildly and threw a dozen unforgivable 13 people were killed by him, including twelve Muggles and Peter Pettigrew, poor but brave Peter, who was still fighting with Black until the last moment, and the Aurors who came in a hurry Only one of his little fingers was found, and Peter Pettigrew was even Blake's roommate during his Hogwarts studies!

There are also James Potter and Remus Lupin in the same dormitory.As we all know, James Potter is also the father of the savior Harry Potter. He was also killed by a mysterious man on October 1981, 10 because of Black's betrayal. At the same time, his wife, Lily Evans Potter, also died. May Merlin bless them, and the heinous Black was immediately arrested by the Magic Law Enforcement Team and thrown into Azkaban without trial..."

"Is it them? Severus?" Arya asked solemnly, raising her head.She thought it was, when Severus mentioned it just now, this was the first story that flashed through her mind!

However, Snape's demeanor surprised her, his face twitched, his eyes were red, he looked down at Black who was screaming in the photo, as if he wanted to eat this man!

"Severus!" Arya hurriedly supported him to sit on the edge of the bed, "Are you okay? Oh, why are your hands so cold! Wait, I'll pour you tea."

Quickly put a cup of scalding hot water into Snape's hands, he was like a puppet now, motionless, his face was deathly pale.

"Severus, Sev, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Arya cried anxiously, grabbing his arm and shaking it lightly.

"It's okay," Snape finally came back to his senses, he lowered his head and took a sip of his hot tea, shaking his head: "It's okay, I just remembered something."

Arya looked at the old newspapers on the carpet, and it seemed to be true. The foursome that Snape said had killed him were James Potter, Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus the werewolf Lupine is gone.If this was the case, combined with the information I read in other newspapers, Severus and these people might still be in the same grade.

Arya looked at Snape with a serious face worriedly.

However, at this moment, Severus seemed to have closed his heart suddenly. He put down his tea bowl and stood up, standing very straight, and said expressionlessly: "I'm going first, by the way," he swung his wand All the newspapers and books on the floor disappeared. "Don't read these anymore. Knowing too much is not good for you and Andrew. Goodbye." After saying that, she left without looking back, and Arya hurriedly chased after him. Going out, only to see a corner of a robe disappearing into the living room.

For several days afterwards, Arya didn't see Snape. He would visit Andrew regularly, but he would always choose to avoid her when she was not around. Arya knew that, for this reason, she I didn't feel angry or anything. There were too many things that happened that day. Thinking about it now, I feel a little messy.

They were obviously discussing the matter of Andrew letting the dog bite people, but for some reason, in the end, the two of them got off topic, and she touched the pain in Severus' heart, and Arya felt that the news in the newspaper that night Several people mattered a lot to Severus, and she was reckless.

However, Snape's evasive gesture made Arya unable to find a chance to apologize, or to have a serious talk with him again, so the two had to calm down for a while...

This calmness lasted for two weeks.

She hadn't seen Severus in two weeks, which was a situation the two of them had never had in the past few years. Usually, especially in the past two years, as the relationship between the three of them became closer and closer, they would contact each other almost every day, even if Can't meet in person, but communicate through double-sided mirrors or letters...

Arya felt a little distraught, and after Severus ignored her for a few days, one weekend, Wilfield—the man who was also missing at the same time—finally asked her out again. To be honest, when Arya picked up When she received Field's call, she was really surprised. She thought that what happened that day made him unwilling to pay attention to her anymore. After all, the two of them are at most just, um, a "dating" relationship...

"Sorry..." Arya apologized as soon as she was seated, but Field also said at the same time.

The two looked at each other and smiled, the restraint just now disappeared, and it seemed that they had returned to the original love.

However, it was only "seemingly", the two who spoke at the same time fell silent at the same time, the quiet atmosphere made Alia feel a little uncomfortable, she moved her back a little, her waist was too straight, she felt a little tired ...

"Alia, I'm sorry, I lost my composure that day." In the end, Field spoke first, "I, I was a little surprised at the time, um, well, I admit Alia, I was too surprised, I didn't expect you already had Baby! Sorry, hope my reaction didn't scare Andrew that day, he's a lovely kid."

Before coming to the appointment, Alia imagined countless scenarios. She thought that Field would be angry because of her concealment; she also thought that he might blame her or Andrew, after all, whoever is bitten by a dog will not be in a good mood...

However, the only thing she didn't expect was that he would apologize. Yes, he was not only sincerely apologizing, but also looking at him, he really thought Andrew was cute, not flattery...

Arya was a little bit at a loss, she lowered her head slightly, and there seemed to be a surge of heat in her heart, and suddenly she felt a little guilty for her previous attitude towards Field.

She could feel Field's sincerity. From the very beginning, Field was more serious than her when facing this "emotion". It is undeniable that she really just regarded him as an affair...

She couldn't go on like this anymore. Facing this man's gentle and innocent eyes, Arya suddenly thought of a word "Gentleman" that Lin had taught her before.He is really nice, until now, he is still carefully maintaining this relationship, but...

Facing this tender and affectionate face, Arya didn't know why, but suddenly thought that under the same light, it was also in this restaurant that she and Severus had their first formal conversation. A cold man walked into her and Andrew's life...

He will never be as gentle and sunny as Will. Arya looked into Field's affectionate eyes and thought in a trance, except when he made her feel a little bit alive when he lost his temper like a child, other times , Severus' eyes were as deep and cold as a frozen lake.

He seldom smiles, and even when he does, he laughs more. Arya feels that in this world, except for Andrew who can make Severus relax or release some warmth for a while, no one else is qualified to feel that A moment of tenderness for a man like a steel hedgehog.

What about her?Arya sometimes wondered, what kind of existence did she have in Severus' mind?Perhaps, in Severus's heart, she can be regarded as a person who can relax and lose his temper as a matter of course. At least, he will not hide anything in front of her, because before, almost every quarrel between the two was initiated by her summation.

In fact, Severus probably knew deep down in his heart that no matter how angry he was with her, or if he didn't control his own emotions to get angry with her, she would always forgive him, right?That's why he is so confident at home...

Thinking of how he was like an awkward child recently, deliberately avoiding her, not daring to see her, and disappearing without a trace as soon as he heard her footsteps, Arya couldn't help but let out a low laugh, It's like a child, isn't it?

"Alia?" Field asked softly under the light.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I just remembered some funny things, you said just now that you were going to become the president of the Birmingham branch? Congratulations, Will." Arya raised her glass and laughed.

Her words made Wilfield on the opposite side darken. He looked at Alia for a while, and said tentatively: "Alia, if, if you want me to stay, I can."

"Will!" Arya was stunned, she understood the meaning of this sentence, but at this moment, instead of joy in her heart, she was panicked...
