HP Miss Paranoid and the Old Bat Professor

Bennett Manor is located in Galloway Forest in Scotland. It is said that in the deepest part of the forest, no matter how cold the local weather is, there is always a spring scene full of flowers blooming and lush green trees all year round. Therefore, there is a rumor among the local elders that this forest is blessed by angels.

Rumors are rumors, and Bennett Manor is located in the deepest part of this deep forest, on a hillside next to the source of the spring that runs through the forest.Different from the magnificence and luxury of Malfoy Manor, from the outside, Bennett Manor looks more like an ancient small castle in the deep mountains and old forests.

The five-storey small castle built of stones is surrounded by thick walls. Pushing open the oak outer door in the middle, it is a unique vitality.The front garden of the Bennett estate is home to a variety of herbs - molly, aconitum, peonies, honeysuckle and more.And the back garden is the greenhouse base of the Bennett family, where the finest herbal medicine materials that supply the entire wizarding world are produced.

Severus and An Nan returned to Bennett Manor on the first morning of Hogwarts' vacation. Annan was right. The Bennetts did welcome Severus, the Potions Professor, very much. The arrival of Mr. Bennett, especially Mr. Bennett, apart from the first few greetings, he spent the rest of the time chatting with Severus about his latest essential oil research results.

"Severus, please smell this bottle of my latest achievement, which is made of molly flower and white fresh as the main raw materials, refined together for 49 days"

'And this one, I added some oriental lotus dew in March morning'

Mr. Bennett was still talking and boasting to himself, but in the end Mrs. Bennett couldn't stand it anymore and dragged her husband away so that Annan and Severus could rest and recuperate.

'Professor, look, this is the study of the Bennett family, isn't it very big! After putting down the luggage, An Nan couldn't wait to take her professor to visit Bennett Manor.

The layout of the study in the Bennett family is very strange. In a circular five-storey room, bookshelves as high as the ceiling are surrounded like onions along the center, and the center of the room is on the ground. It is covered with fluffy wool carpets, a simple oak desk in the center, and a few wooden chairs and a small sofa scattered on both sides.

The most interesting thing was that the walls around the house were covered with green vines, which Severus recognized as a plant called devil's ivy.

"Professor, I think that although the aesthetics of our ancestors needs to be improved, they are still worthy of admiration in the pursuit of knowledge." admire.

'Anna! Hearing Mrs. Bennett calling herself, An Nan greeted her professor first and then ran downstairs.

Browsing aimlessly among the bookshelves, Severus found that most of the books in the Bennett family were about various herbs and spells.From a shelf on the right side of the desk, he randomly took out a somewhat yellowed dark green parchment book, and in the middle of the book cover was written "The Beginning of Adventure-Merlin", written by Lawrence Hawkins, in 1320.

Severus has always dismissed such meaningless biographies, but this time, for some reason, Severus turned a few pages very patiently.

Sure enough, like other biographical books, this book is also long-winded about how Merlin was different when he was a child-what turned a neighbor's plow cow into a tortoise at the age of seven, and turned the neighbor's plow cow into a tortoise at the age of nine, and asked for water to drink when he was nine years old. The old gentleman was dumped on top of a pine tree.It wasn't until Severus was surprisingly patient that it took ten seconds to turn the book to the middle chapter when a section circled by a quill caught his attention.

In 1240, our young Merlin decided to start his adventure with his friends Bass Fili and Ben Warnett.Their journey began in Cameronshire, Wales...'

Severus frowned subconsciously. He remembered that both the Philip family and the Warnet family belonged to one of the oldest aristocratic families in the wizarding world. The former moved to Italy with his family hundreds of years ago. The other moved the manor to Germany, and since then, neither family has been heard from in the wizarding world.

'Don't believe the bullshit'

A sudden sound made Severus' hand tremble, and he grasped his wand reflexively, and when he looked up, he realized that it was a portrait of an ancestor of the Bennett family hanging on the wall directly opposite.

"The things written in those biographies are all nonsense, uh" The old man in the portrait is sipping wine, holding a wine bottle in his right hand, and falls crookedly on a wooden chair.

"Some people say that the Bennetts are descended from angels. I don't believe that at all..."

"Grandpa, you're drunk again." An Nan hurried back to the study and saw her drunken great-grandfather helplessly, showing a very troubled expression to Severus.

After dinner, Mrs. Bennet took Annan to try on the new clothes she had just bought for her daughter, while Severus sat in front of the fire and chatted with Mr. Bennet.Mr. Bennett held a full red wine glass in his hand, and his face was slightly drunk.

'So, Severus, I hear you're not married yet? 'Mr. Bennett took a sip of red wine refreshingly, chatting casually.

'Yes' Severus replied truthfully, he couldn't remember how many times he had been asked the same question.

"Oh, Severus, you should start looking for your other half. People can only find true happiness in love."

’ You know, having someone at home waiting for you to come home late at night, cuddling in front of a warm wall fire on a cold winter’s night, you celebrating every special moment together, the way you always know each other will always be Supporting you whenever you feel' Mr. Bennett was obviously a little drunk, his voice began to rise a little,

'Trust me, Severus, you won't find the same happiness anywhere else, it's the happiest feeling in the world,'

Severus didn't answer, he looked at the red wine glass in his hand thoughtfully, in fact, every word he said before reminded him of the picture with the little girl.

'So, Severus, do you have a girl in mind? ...'

Before Mr. Bennet finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voice of Mrs. Bennet who came downstairs,

'Oh dear, look at our daughter, isn't she beautiful! '

An Nan was wearing the little dress that her mother had just bought from Mrs. Hawking. The off-the-shoulder style was popular this year. Beautiful little waves will flash on the skirt when you walk around.An Nan shyly looked up at Severus who was sitting opposite, and the latter was also looking back at her.

Severus, who was sitting there without moving, could only see the little girl's pink face and those sparkling eyes at this moment.The heart in his chest was beating fast, and a sentence jumped out of Severus' mind inexplicably,

It'sher.

(is her)

'Deargirl, everytime Iseeyou, Ifallinlovealloveragain.'

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, the professor will be enlightened, haha, I am so excited~~
