happy life?strange

The small white envelope was taken away by a strong brown owl when the two children in Spider's End were not paying attention. It was very satisfied with the delicious biscuits on the window sill and quietly disappeared into the dark night sky.

Soon, in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, the new headmaster Dumbledore with white beard and white hair got this small letter in his hand.Looking at the reply, he hid a smile in the sky blue glasses behind the half-moon glasses.

Although the child who wrote the letter had immature handwriting, it could be seen that he was a good and polite boy. Although the question he asked was a bit reckless, it was in line with Gryffindor's enthusiasm.In particular, he has a younger brother. The care and concern for his younger brother naturally revealed in the letter reminded him of the younger brother and sister he had when he was young. At that time, the sky was blue and the clouds were very blue. Bai, accompanied by another blond boy, at that time, he was so happy that his body was as light as a light feather.In that distant home, there used to be three children laughing and laughing, but now the room is cold and lonely.Thinking of this, he leaned tiredly on the big red plush armchair and looked deeply at the blank photo frame on the table. No one knew whose picture Dumbledore wanted to see.

--When we were young, the water was clear and the flowers were fragrant.You and I thought it was forever together.

Dumbledore quickly wrenched himself out of his thoughts.He looked at Severus' reply letter again, thinking about it as he read it, if his brother had magical powers and was a wizard, he agreed to Severus Snape to take his brother to school together without any problems or obstacles.But if Snape's brother was a Muggle, he might not get through with the trustees.Dumbledore had always believed in his own vision, and he already had a certain liking for Severus Snape inadvertently.

Watching misty smoke of various shapes sprayed out of various strange-shaped containers in the room.Thinking of Tom back then, the current Voldemort has suddenly become powerful in recent years, and his newly proposed policies are also tending to be gentle, not at all like the madness hidden under the excellent disguise in the school.

Voldemort's policy against mixed-bloods and Muggles and the inheritance of noble blood won considerable popularity among the people and nobles, and his reputation also increased day by day.In recent years, more and more students have entered Slytherin. Dumbledore worried that if this continues, if one day Voldemort really tears off his disguise and shows his fangs to attack the magic world, the magic world will have no One can fight him.

The problem of Severus Snape is easy to solve. In terms of tuition fees, there is always financial support for poor students, and his brother, Dumbledore thinks it can be falsely claimed that it is caused by some reasons, or directly claimed that it is The little wizard who will be enrolled is also fine.In this way, if little Snape remembered his favor, there was a great possibility that he could enter his Order of the Phoenix, and the Order of the Phoenix also needed such a person who could consider each other comprehensively.It is true that there are too many impulsive and reckless people in the Order of the Phoenix, which makes Dumbledore a headache, especially his favorite heir, James Potter, who is going to enroll this time, is really too reckless and arrogant. Practice, if there is no one with a clear mind to point out and correct, sooner or later there will be problems.

Thinking of James Potter, Dumbledore's thoughts turned to Remus Lupine.A werewolf child who was looked down upon very much, arranging him and James Potter together should be able to cultivate a special friendship.Werewolf, thinking of werewolves, Dumbledore couldn't help but stroked his long white beard and smiled. Compared to werewolves, even if Severus Snape's younger brother is a Muggle, there is no problem at all. At most, his eyes flashed, when the time comes One can forget everything.

After deciding, he began to write and reply.He was going to pick up Remus Lupine himself, so that he could get to know Potter before entering school, so as to lay a solid foundation for future friendship, and at the same time give Lupine an overwhelming impression of Gryffindor.So in order to make a good impression on Brother Snape, a completely neutral guide is very important...

The next morning, when Severus opened the curtains, he took a look and saw that the letter on the window sill was gone. Of course, this thin letter was likely to be blown away by the wind, after all, the letter from the previous night The wind was still roaring very vigorously, causing him to have nightmares most of the night.

But after breakfast, when he retrieved the new thick, heavy beige envelope from the mailbox, Severus finally confirmed that there were still owls visiting the windowsill of their house at night.I feel that owls in the wizarding world are really a species with high IQ, but Severus still feels a bit backward in this communication method, thinking that in the novel Harry was actually an owl when he entered school, the only magic school in the UK. Even without a computer, he had a deep understanding of the occlusion and conservatism of the magic world. He doubted whether he could integrate into such a strange world.

He opened the envelope and took out the same thick parchment paper, on which was still a reply letter written in dark green ink. He touched his nose, expressing that he still couldn't accept this color ink and the same old letter paper, which would make him feel a little bit like himself. Trance-to-medieval illusion.

The reply was as follows:

"Dear Mr Severus Snape:

It is a great honor to hear from you.Your name was automatically entered on the Hogwarts student list at birth.Hogwarts provides the best wizarding education for young wizards like you.We have already discussed your situation. Hogwarts will provide educational funds for students with difficulties, and your brother, with the special permission of the headmaster, also agrees to let him come to Hogwarts with you.Considering that you have no previous knowledge of magic and wizards, Hogwarts will send the professor to take you to buy the items you need.If you agree, please write back with your time.

Headmaster: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore"

Severus was a little taken aback by not expecting the problem to be solved so easily.

Viddy had already felt Severus' restlessness these two days, but he couldn't express anything.Up to this moment, it seemed that Severus had finally settled down, and he groped his way to Severus' side.

Severus looked at him, then sat on the sofa with Viddy in his arms, and slowly began to tell him the contents of the two letters.At first, he was afraid that Viddy would find it awkward and unacceptable. After all, in the minds of ordinary people, wizards are evil. For example, the three witches in Macbeth used obscure language and smoke from a cauldron to guide a Heroes used to go down the road of destruction. For example, in fairy tales, wizards are horrible existences used to scare children.But Viddy looked more cheerful, and his acceptance far exceeded Severus' expectations. In other words, he seemed to be happy to go to Hogwarts.In fact, when he heard the word Hogwarts, the letters that make up the word echoed in Viddy's heart one by one, as if telling him that if he got to Hogwarts, he would find what he wanted. things, he will get what he lost.Plus, if he goes to school with Severus, then he can stay away from the people he cares about, and also keep Severus away from that damn church and that hateful man who has been bewitching Severus Father Cliff.That Father Cliff must be a bald, fat, short, wretched old man, Viddy thought through gritted teeth.

Seeing that Viddy had no intention of objecting, Severus began to write a reply letter, which was relatively simple and drafted quickly.

"Thank you very much for your letter. I think I should be free the day after tomorrow, and we will be waiting for your arrival at 10 am.

your severus snape

The letter was still placed on the window sill as before, in the same position, with two small biscuits pressed on it.

Because the term Hogwarts opened up Severus' memory bank, he thought of the Harry Potter novels he had read. This passionate and inspirational story is very suitable as a good night story before going to bed.However, due to the passage of time, the hands of time have gently blurred the details about this story.Severus could only use his own understanding, vague memory and a little fabrication to complete this new story.To use an analogy, if the original book is a big shiny shell, then the story that comes out of Severus' mouth is to open the shell, take out the meat inside, cut it into pieces, put it in thick broth and mix it with A delicious medley of peppers and lots of whole tasty clams.

In the evening, Severus slowly told Viddy the story he had changed. Of course, Hogwarts was changed to another name. Viddy listened carefully, and he listened. As he spoke, chilly hands grabbed his heart.Why, he felt that this story would be extremely scary if it continued?Severus was still talking slowly, about how some crazy man was beaten by a baby, about a hollow-eyed potions professor called the Snake King who appeared in it.Viddy felt chills all over, but he couldn't help but want to hear more, just a little more.

---I am so small, so small, so careful, so small, so small, so soft to make you happy

The next morning, both of them got up very early.When it was exactly ten o'clock, the two Snape brothers in the living room heard a polite knock on the door, Severus opened the door, and there stood a middle-aged lady with blue kind eyes, very dignified Very dignified, with long brown hair pulled back, wearing a neat and bright white robe.

Seeing Severus, she greeted Severus very politely, her voice was soothing and calm: "Hello, I am Bobby Pomfrey. The school doctor of Hogwarts, today I will take you and your Brother went to buy some things needed for school."

"Ah, hello, Madam Pomfrey, please come in." Severus immediately welcomed Madam Pomfrey into the living room.After letting Madam Pomfrey sit down in the living room, he went to the kitchen and poured out a cup of black tea.

Madam Pomfrey generally does not go to pick up students, but this year Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey said that this student is quite special. He will bring his disabled brother to Hogwarts. Maybe Pomfrey, who is a doctor If Mrs. Lei went, it would be more favorable to the child and help them.Madam Pomfrey was also rather curious. A child whose parents had died and who had to raise a disabled younger brother who couldn't live, wondered what that child would look like.

Madam Pomfrey was still surprised when she saw Severus himself.

The Severus Snape in front of him had black hair and black eyes. Although his face was relatively thin, he had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of deer-like vigor and longing for life. His clothes were also Very tidy.Even the place where she lived, even though it was in a slum, was not as embarrassing as she imagined.The small front yard is full of unknown wildflowers, brilliant and blooming vigorously.There is also a small wooden swing frame.And the beige curtains fluttered in the wind.

The little boy who had been sitting quietly in the living room aroused Madam Pomfrey's motherhood even more.The little boy has satin-like shiny and smooth black hair, his eyes are closed, and he sits quietly on the sofa. His delicate face is like an oil painting, reminding Madam Pomfrey of the angel in Ingres's painting, this little boy The boy is like a beautiful white porcelain doll.

Little Severus naturally sat beside him and patted his hand. "Today is Madam Pomfrey from Hogwarts. Her hair is brown, her eyes are blue like the blue sky, and she wears long white clothes. White, just like you It feels like touching the snow. She is smiling at you, um, yes, in this direction. Come, Viddy, say hello to Madam Pomfrey." Viddy shyly pointed in the direction of Madam Pomfrey nod.

Madam Pomfrey saw the boy gently take his brother's hand and hold it together.One hand is rough and cracked, which shows the hardships of life, while the other hand is white and delicate, which shows how meticulous care this child has received.As if by induction, the younger brother's blind eyes always look exactly in the direction of the older brother.From Madam Pomfrey's point of view, there was a strong and soft bond between the Snape brothers that the world couldn't see.

No matter how good things are, there will be a day of loss.

A memory that is etched in our mind will be forgotten one day.

No matter how much you love, there will be a day when you will go away.
