The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.54: Approaching

On the first day of school in 1994, Hogwarts was destined to be restless.The headmaster, sitting in the center of the guest table, got up after the teachers and students finished their dinner and announced two pieces of news: First, this year's House Cup Quidditch Tournament cannot be held because the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts Held; the second is to introduce new staff, the former Auror Mad-Eye Moody is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and Zenobia Snape is also serving as the doctor's assistant in the medical wing and the teaching assistant of Potions .

The first message undoubtedly aroused the surprise and heated discussions among the young wizards, while the second message made the originally noisy auditorium suddenly quiet down.Except for the freshmen who just entered school, everyone paid no attention to the crazy-eyed man with a terrifying appearance. Everyone stared at the guest seat with wide-eyed eyes. There was a young and pretty girl sitting beside the dark and gloomy old bat: this snake The beauty, known throughout the school for her flirtatious appearance, outstanding academic performance, status as the only apprentice of the Potions Professor, and her gentle and gentle personality that does not match the Slytherin temperament, is known to everyone in the school. Mr. calling him "Mrs. Snape"... was a clear and direct reference to her unusual relationship with Hogwarts' most terrifying professor.

"Merlin!" This was the heartfelt voice of the young wizards.

The strange silence that lasted more than ten seconds was suddenly broken by Dumbledore's manic smile and applause to welcome the new professor.The sudden applause, like water droplets falling into a pan of oil, caused bursts of noise to erupt in the auditorium, incredible exclamations one after another, and the small animals whispered to each other.

"How did Miss Hayes become Mrs. Snape?" This was a pure question.

"Merlin's stinky socks, is it possible that Professor Snape is married?! Miss Hayes is so courageous!" This was a sigh of amazement.

"Poor Hayes, he must have been persecuted, right? There have been rumors that the old bat imprisoned her and forced her to become his own?" This was gleeful laughter.

"Hey, Snape is married, will his temper change for the better? Senior Hayes has a gentle personality. With her around, our life should be easier in the future... Hey, the way he looked at Senior Hayes was very strange. Soft!" This is the poor expectation of the little badgers.

"I've known for a long time that Hayes is a restless person, tsk tsk, she can hook up with the professor... Huh, she is the only one who can see the gloomy, greasy old bat!" This is a gran What the Fendo girl whispered to her friend was full of malice and jealousy.

"Oh, miserable Percy! The Goddess he dreamed of chasing after," the twins chorused, "but was snatched away by the old bat, and Merlin bless him not to cry for his mother."

"Senior and Snape were originally a fiancé couple," the insider Harry Potter argued to his friends, "it's normal for them to get married!"

"No wonder Senior Hayes values ​​Professor Snape so much," Miss Know-it-All who had once communicated with Silver Snake suddenly realized, and then observed the couple at the guest table inquiringly, before sighing in confusion after a while, " In fact, they are a good match, so they should be very happy.”

"Malfoy, the dean and Miss Hayes..." The little snakes were shocked, either frightened, sighed, puzzled, or understood.

"I just attended their wedding." Draco replied slowly, his tone seemed to be nonchalant.

"..."

It was the first time for Silver Snake, who was sitting at the guest table as a faculty member, to watch the various reactions of the little wizards with a smile, and cast a spell quietly, listening to everyone's discussions. Surprised or sarcastic remarks made her laugh.

Zenobia is very adaptable to her new role. Even though she is a teaching assistant, she does not need to teach the students, but she is basically the same as before, working as a potion assistant for Snape, or helping to correct students' homework; as an assistant in the medical wing, Her main responsibility is to brew some common potions such as healing potions and cold potions, to help Madam Pomfrey when she is too busy, and to cast healing spells for injured or sick little wizards.

Snape's life was more comfortable, at least he got rid of the terrible papers that the little trolls could not finish grading.At the same time, the exposure of Silver Snake's identity made those little wizards who "coveted" her stay away, making the Potions Professor very happy; the company of his little wife day and night made him feel so happy that the magic world The increasingly urgent situation can't make him worry. Anyway, the war is not directly related to him. With the coming of the Triwizard Tournament, Malfoy's layout has reached the closing stage, and Dumbledore has obviously made some moves. He just needs to Add fuel to the fire when the time is right.

Before Halloween, the representatives from the two schools of the Triwizard Tournament arrived at Hogwarts. The school had a new look, and it was a festival again. The little wizards these days were as active as if they had taken stimulant potions.

At the Halloween dinner, the Goblet of Fire chose its heroes: Durmstrang's Victor Krum, Beauxbatons' Fleur Delacour, and Hogwarts' Cedric Diggory.To the surprise of most people, the Goblet of Fire selected the fourth warrior who obviously did not meet the requirements for the competition, Neville Longbottom, which attracted the representatives of teachers and students from the other two schools and most of the little wizards in Hogwarts. their dissatisfaction and indignation.

Ever since she knew that Malfoy had made full arrangements for the Dark Lord's resurrection plan, Zenobia didn't pay attention to the actions of the Death Eaters or the Order of the Phoenix at all, and only kept her attention to the Dark Lord's pet snake. Controlling and spiritual contact, as for this competition that may be manipulated by many parties, she is not very interested in paying attention.However, as an employee of Hogwarts, it is inevitable to get all kinds of relevant news.

"Senior Hayes, ah, that's not right..." The little wizard realized that he was calling by the wrong name, scratched his hair in a daze, and called out hesitantly, "Mrs. Snape?" It is the gradually unified name for the silver snake among the young wizards, although most of them are not used to it.

It was rare for Zenobia not to be with a man on weekends. Thinking that the weather was just right in late autumn, she was walking near the Forbidden Forest. Unexpectedly, she met Harry Potter. Hearing the awkward address of the man, she laughed at the man's reaction: "What a coincidence, Are you here for a walk too?"

Harry Potter shook his head and nodded, looking confused and distressed.

"Encountered difficulties?" Silver Snake couldn't help asking with concern.Since graduating, all her friends at school have left. In the past six months, she has no one to chat with except Snape.Although Harry Potter and her are not the same way, but after all, they have been in a friendly relationship for several years. Now that there is nothing to do, it is suitable for a few chats.

"Neville..." The green-eyed little wizard hesitated, looking very embarrassed.

Zenobia didn't understand the reason for his gesture, after all, she was not familiar with Longbottom: "What's wrong with Longbottom? Aren't he and you good friends?"

"Triwizard Tournament," Harry Potter finally said the question that bothered him, "He was selected as a warrior, but...he obviously didn't meet the requirements." As he said, he glanced at the silver snake quickly, and hurriedly Said, "I don't mean anything else, just... I just think it's weird."

Silver Snake froze for a moment, carefully sizing up the subtle changes in the little wizard's demeanor, and could naturally tell the jealousy, dissatisfaction, doubt and guilt... He couldn't help but sigh secretly: After all, they are all ordinary people, right?Although Harry Potter used to be the protagonist, the excellence of his companions made him feel aggrieved; at the same time, his concern for his friends made him unconsciously blame himself for his own thoughts.In fact, these emotions are considered normal.

Zenobia didn't intend to be a psychiatrist, she sighed secretly, and said with a smile: "The people chosen by the Goblet of Fire are very unusual. The savior is the boy who survived."

Harry Potter was dazed for a while, then suddenly realized, and replied as if he had realized something: "You are right..." He scratched his hair, with obvious anxiety and shame on his face, "I seem to have done something wrong Something." After thinking for a while, he hurriedly ran towards the castle, stopped suddenly after walking a few steps, and waved to the silver snake, "Thank you for your explanation, senior sister, I will go find it now Neville...ah, that's right," the little wizard turned around and gave her a big smile, "I've been forgetting to congratulate you, senior, happy wedding!"

Seeing the little lion rushing away with reckless steps, Zenobia was stunned for a while, then smiled, looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath of fresh and sweet air, and suddenly felt Expansive, wide-ranging emotions: After nearly half a year of working life, she feels that being a teacher is actually a good choice.

The first event of the Tournament was held on November 11th. As a result, Longbottom scored the most points and ranked first temporarily. The Savior naturally once again became the hero supported by the little wizards of Hogwarts.

The following Christmas, different from the relatively deserted atmosphere in the past, will hold a Christmas ball after the dinner this year—since the savior entered school, there are very few opportunities to hold school dances, not to mention that there are people from two other schools participating this time, The little wizards were obviously looking forward to it.

That night, the four warriors led their partners to dance first.Amidst the singing of the weird sisters, little wizards slid into the center of the dance floor one after another.

After admiring the dancing of the warriors with great interest, Zenobia looked at the pair of dancing wizards very enviously, and began to fidget, peeking at her husband's face from time to time: she had never danced with each other before. Well, I'm really excited... But considering the current situation, under the eyes of such a pair of teachers and students, the man probably won't agree to her invitation to dance, right?

Silver Snake lost her mind after thinking about it. When a hand suddenly appeared in her field of vision, she didn't react at all. She stared at it for a while, and then slowly woke up, and looked at the man along the arm.

Seeing his wife finally regained consciousness, Snape curled the corner of his mouth and asked again: "May I"

After Zenobia was stunned, she was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly reacted, and quickly put her hand into the opponent's palm.

The little wizards stared again with their eyes wide open, looking at the scariest professor in the school, leading his young and beautiful little wife, and walking down the guest seat, the two of them hooked their shoulders and slid lightly onto the dance floor .

Lingering and swinging, you advance and I retreat, whirling and dancing...

"Merlin, although I always knew that Professor Snape and Senior Hayes were married, seeing them dance with my own eyes...it's really scary!" A little wizard shook his head desperately, unable to accept what he saw .

Zenobia didn't care about the stimulation of others. Her husband, who had always been reserved and sullen, even invited him to dance in public. She was so happy that she was dizzy. The man led her to dance.

Even being surrounded by a group of noisy little trolls didn't affect Snape's good mood at all.The man looked down at his submissive little wife, and then inadvertently raised his eyes to Percy Weasley beside Bagman—the young man was talking to someone, but his eyes were fixed on the silver snake. On the body—the eyes are cold and stern, full of ridicule and disdain.After Weasley met his gaze, he froze immediately, his face pale.

Snape snorted secretly, the previous anger was finally relieved at this moment, he casually led the silver snake to spin around, his eyes naturally retracted, his eyelids were lowered, and his eyes once again focused on Zenobia No matter how many covetous and greedy gazes he had on his face, he couldn't change the fact that the little woman in his arms was his wife.

She belongs to him alone.
