The happiness of HP

When the two children, Apollo and Artemis, brought a few golden apples to the head of Slytherin's office, Severus was making a magic riot inhibitor, and Blaise would not come over on his rest day.After all, he and Hermione didn't have that much free time, Zabini Manor and their two sons.Of course, this was also Hermione's release, she knew that Severus needed time to spend with the two children.

Snake opened the door for the two children without even asking for the password, apparently under the care of Severus.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Severus just looked up at the door, and when the two children walked in, his brows and eyes softened a lot.At this time, the first pot of magic riot inhibitors has basically been completed.

"Professor, are you making a magic riot inhibitor?" Apollo just sniffed and recognized the name of the potion.

"Brother, to be precise, it should be the magic riot inhibitor that is short of the last process." Artemis is always more careful.

"Huh? I have to say that your noses are at least much better than trolls." Severus looked up at the children behind the cauldron, looking a little surprised.

"We haven't taken this kind of potion less, and my father has often made this kind of potion since I can remember. At that time, our house only had a very small room. It was my father who bought us some cold potions. Even so, apart from There are only books for the workbench and our little bed, and Dad doesn't even have a bed." Artemis said.

Severus was taken aback when he heard this.

"Professor, you should put the moonshine grass." Apollo saw that Severus was in a daze, and immediately reminded him.

"Oh, oh." Severus came back to his senses, and immediately grabbed an appropriate amount of moonshine grass and threw it into the cauldron, which prevented the pot of potion from being destroyed.

Seeing that Severus had turned off the flame, Artemis walked up, looked at the clear blue potion in the cauldron, and showed a beautiful smile: "It's a beautiful color, perfect, Dean."

The lively girl elicited a gentle smile from Severus as well, and he said, "Well, let's let it cool down a bit. Now, I thought, we need some time to swap things out?"

"Uh, Dean, in terms of study, we only have to ask you for advice, how can we talk about exchange?" Apollo said cautiously.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you guys yesterday. Your theoretical accumulation is enough to discuss potions with me. I'm surprised that a child as young as you can have such knowledge." Severus saw the small Snakes are cautious, the best way at this time is to make them let down their vigilance.

"Is this? It goes back to when we were younger. At that time, Dad worried about our bodies every day, so in order to get a potion formula, he practiced potions day and night, and then our daily bedtime stories , almost only what Dad studies during the day." Apollo laughed.

"I remember your father is Mr. Asaplet? The seventh master of the Potions Association." Severus quietly hid his heartache under his indifferent expression. He hoped to know more about Harry over the years life, even if you can't accompany him through it.

"But, no one is born to be the seventh great teacher, right?" Artemis is not disgusted with this professor's question, for some reason, if someone else asks, she probably can directly blacklist that person inside.

"Indeed. So, you don't go to the library at this time, what are you here for? I thought, you know that I don't like unnecessary waste of energy." The days are long, and the head of Slytherin knows that at least he can't arouse the child's suspicion.

"It's like this, we found something we didn't understand during the preview..." Apollo asked immediately.

……

Severus had a pleasant exchange with the children on potions, and he found that the children had different questions: Apollo liked to ask some questions in a divergent way, and he was a little unconstrained in his questions, not sticking to the ones in the books. And the experience in reality, this is very good, guided by it is the potential to be able to do new research and development, presumably Harry has also discovered it?Because during the conversation, the child mentioned his father's suggestion many times, and it is obvious that Harry encourages the child's questions in terms of innovation; Artemis' questions tend to be more analytical, and he likes to explore It is also very good to focus on the source and data, and if you guide it, you are also good at improving. From some of her words, Harry also encouraged this child to break through the casserole and ask the end.

Of course, Severus would not forget the fact that the two of them were still young, there was no need to choose their career so early.So, when the children asked about the same thing, he immediately stopped their intention to continue asking, and said, "I thought that your courses at Hogwarts were not limited to Potions? Your father wouldn't want you to only study Potions An 'O' in potions and a poor 'T' in everything else?"

"Oh, Professor, I thought you'd be pleased with our enthusiasm for Potions?" Apollo said in surprise.

"What caused you to have such an illusion? As your college instructor, I hope to see students who are comprehensive and have special skills, rather than students who have special skills but are not comprehensive. I guess you chose Hogwarts for the same reason. In order to get in touch with basic magic more comprehensively?" Severus said, "Article No.70 of the Slytherin Code of Conduct: When you decide, you stick to it."

"Of course, Dean." Artemis felt that this professor was quite responsible to the students. Although he misunderstood him a little at first, after getting along with him a few times, he felt that he was not bad.

"Don't let me know that your grades are not Slytherin. The real glory of Slytherin lies in the excellence of the students." Severus warned the two children.

The two children blinked their vivid green eyes, looked at the stern instructor with some aggression, and said, "Dean, we don't like Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Severus looked at the two children in surprise, knowing that Harry was good at and loved Defense Against the Dark Arts best at school, and he was quite proficient in Defense Against the Dark Arts.So he asked, "I thought you'd be more fond of foolishly waving wands at your age."

"That's the ones who just got the wands, we've had the wands for a few years." Artemis didn't want to hide it from Severus, for some reason, she felt very close to this professor.

"Al!" Apollo cautiously stopped his sister's words. He didn't forget that the less people knew about the relationship between his father and the elves, the better. Although he liked the professor very much, he wasn't sure if he should tell the professor about it. Won't it get the professor into trouble?

Seeing the boy's cautious look, Severus didn't ask any more questions, but just thought about it, and said, "If you don't like Defense Against the Dark Arts, then you still have to do your homework and exams well. But I hope you don't worry about it because of Prejudice and give up."

The two children looked at Severus thoughtfully, then smiled, and Apollo said: "Professor Shaker's class is also very good, but it is not suitable for us. The practice in his class, we have three years I have already learned it at the request of my father. You know, our magic power grows too fast and must be consumed."

"We have no prejudice against anyone, Dean, don't worry." Artemis said.

Severus frowned, and said: "I really hope that you have two normal brains around your necks instead of two balls of Merlin's socks! Learning here is not just about practice, otherwise you might as well be put in prison." Go to the forest, don’t forget. Remember, practice is an important part of magic, but it’s not the whole thing. If you don’t change this concept, you will probably take many detours. Alright, go to the library, my precious I don’t want to spend all my free time on you.”

Uh……

The two children seemed to be frightened by Severus' sudden attitude, they lowered their heads and looked a bit disappointed. They just wanted to talk to the dean about their feelings towards Professor Shacklebolt.Looking at their disappointed expressions, Severus suddenly felt that he was being too harsh?Seeing them walking out a little bit disappointed, I was somewhat worried, worried that they would not come to find me again.Suddenly, he saw a black bag that did not belong to him on the sofa where the children had just sat.

"Hey, you seem to be more forgetful than old people, do you need me to give you a memory potion?" Severus said, seeing the children stop and look back at Dean Slytherin suspiciously, "P Mr. Lince, Miss Evans, I am sure that this black bag does not belong to me."

"Oh, sorry, Professor." Apollo patted his forehead, and then said, "This is a gift from us."

Artemis had already walked over and lifted the bag to the tables in front of Severus, opened it, and said, "This morning, Dad asked someone to send us a basket of golden apples. Well, Dad knows that we I really like eating this, so…”

"So, we thought the dean would take care of us like this, and we were not in good health, so we brought a few here..." Apollo said, "Dad said that we should learn to share good things."

"Uh, didn't the morning card come from your dad?" Severus asked, taking the opportunity.

"No, it's Dad's publisher in Germany. We call him Grandpa Simbo. He told us that Dad went to Atlantis from Germany yesterday." Apollo said.

"Didn't your dad mention me when he got your letter?" Severus asked suspiciously.

"Dean, why did he mention you?" Artemis asked puzzled.

Severus didn't know what to say, he began to wonder if his guess was wrong, Mr. Ashaprite was not his little troll at all, maybe the little troll passed away during that dangerous birth... However, although the voice of Roaring Letter is a bit distorted, it is definitely not fake, it is indeed his own Harry.He looked into the green eyes and convinced himself that Harry would be fine, he wouldn't part with himself and the children.Looking at the children, he didn't know what to say to find out the news, a trace of uneasiness could not help overflowing his indifferent mask.

You must know that Severus and Harry are relatively keen in perceiving other people's emotions, while Apollo and Artemis have perfectly inherited this sensitivity, and are even stronger, which can already be called intuition .So they immediately caught Severus' uneasiness, but the child is a child after all, and immediately thought of other places, Apollo immediately said: "Dean, don't worry, we didn't tell Dad anything about you, after all, we also I don’t want Dad to be so worried that you are a so-called ‘dangerous person’ and come to the UK right away.”

Artemis also immediately interjected, saying: "Dean, we didn't tell Dad that there are only two of us in Slytherin. Otherwise, he would be so worried that he would ask us to go to Durmstrang immediately. I heard that there are only two students in Slytherin. So cold..."

After the children left, Severus looked at the golden apples on the table, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. So, what was his worry and expectation this week for?
