It's unexpectedly good to be back at Hogwarts. More than Severus Snape could have imagined. After many years, he thought that he was no longer the child he was at that time.

Classrooms, corridors, staircases, portraits, sun-drenched lawns, greenhouses, even a brick reminds him of his time here. And the noisy little cubs made the castle look like he remembered.

Curses in the hallways, tricks on the back of professors, whether it is the sudden growth of a pair of rabbit teeth or the hair standing up like a sea urchin or a face full of pimples, youthful vitality is always vented in such a boring way.

Since the day after he returned to Hogwarts, Madam Pomfrey had asked him to boil up a lot of potions to dispel this pediatric prank, and he saw at least ten children running towards the medical wing every day. They always have problems that adults need to solve for them.

Today, he had just finished his first grade Potions basics class when Madam Pomfrey called him over through the fireplace.

"What happened? Bobby, if they have so much energy to expend, I recommend the Mighty Water of Life and Death, they can sleep until the final exam. "He walked into the medical wing and saw Ariana standing there, and she looked like the 'perpetrator'.

"What's going on?" He swept over her, saw her standing in a corner of the room, and turned to ask Madam Pomfrey.

"Severus, you should come and see, I don't know how this is done." Madam Pomfrey was familiar with Ariana, at least she had seen the little girl in her house, and she had always thought her to be a quiet, well-behaved child, and today she sent her classmate to the medical wing, and said to her very politely, "I made him like this, ma'am." ”

Madam Pomfrey didn't even know what to say at this point. Unfortunately, she found that she had nothing she could do with the child.

Severus lifted the curtain in front of his hospital bed, only to see a boy with blond hair on his face, his nose covered.

He tried a few spells, but found them to be of no use, and asked Madam Pomfrey to bring over a few bottles of potions that might be useful, but they didn't seem to work for the boy either. He could only admit that it might take more time to resolve the issue, but he said, "It doesn't affect the class, so Mr. Brins can go back to class." ”

"Oh no." The boy covered his face and wailed, "I'm like a monkey!" They'll laugh at me! ”

Severus said solemnly, "Don't look like a fool, Mr. Brins. Now, go back to your classroom. ”

Mr. Brins was reluctant to leave, hoping that someone would change his mind and let him stay behind the curtain, but he did not hear his desire to obey until he left.

"Miss Riddle, please come with me." He motioned for Ariana to come with him, and when he returned to the cellar, he closed the office door, invited her to sit down, and prepared her some of her favorite drinks.

"When you're ready, you can come to me." He said, and then he went to correct the homework.

Ariana sat on the couch, she didn't do anything after enjoying the snacks and drinks, and kept quiet.

Severus glanced at the clock, he was going to class.

"Stay here, and I'll tell you that you're in confinement, Professor." As he prepared to leave, Ariana said, "The confinement should be closed after school." ”

Severus walked back to the couch, looked at her and said, "Are you going to tell me now?" ”

Ariana took a deep breath, still keeping her mouth shut. She's so stubborn.

Seversk restrained herself not to coax her, touching her hair or giving her a hug as he did at home. He opened the door and said, "You are forbidden to leave here until the confinement is over." Then he went to class.

He came back at noon, and she was still here. The elves bring a lunch for two. "As you may be wondering," he said, "Mr. Brins' nickname: the furry elf. ”

Eating pie, Ariana lowered her head to hide the corners of her mouth.

After lunch was her nap time, and even he wasn't going to sacrifice her sleep time to punish her. He prepared a comfortable bed for her to lie on and kissed on the forehead like at home.

He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her and said, "Do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?" ”

Ariana grabbed his finger from under the blanket: "I didn't mean to bully him. I just hope he doesn't pester me anymore. ”

"So," Severus took a deep breath this time, "Mr. Brins is a passionate suitor?" He muttered, "Merlin, you're not yet twelve!" ”

"Apparently so." Ariana shrugged her shoulders on her pillow, "He probably hopes to make me fall in love with him with his enthusiasm and strength, or listen to him and don't approach 'boys like monkeys'." I'm just trying to prove that he's not actually better than he says everyone else. ”

"I see." His face was unprecedentedly bad, "Be a good boy and get a good night's sleep." I'll wake you up before class. He took a book and sat next to him, "If you need it, I'm here." ”

Ariana closed her eyes and went to sleep, praying sincerely for Mr. Brins.

- She doesn't need anyone to 'advise' who she should befriend with.

Apparently Mr. Brins didn't understand her, even if he was a fourth-year Slytherin? She'd let him know that neither 'fourth year' nor 'Slytherin' was anything in her eyes.

It took two weeks for Mr. Brins to return to normal with the help of Headmaster Dumbledore, but his nickname 'Hairy Elf' followed him until he graduated.

Clearly, Mr. Brins's self-perceived 'zealous' move was unpopular. After this incident, Miss Riddle was much quieter beside her, and she proved with her strength that she would not become a 'little pet' next to any nobleman, and let them show off by following the only young lady of the Riddle family.

When she got home, she quietly asked her father and brother if this had happened to them when they were in school.

Tom touched her little head and said, "Of course, dear baby." You have to know that when you are remarkable and you don't have the strength to reject the fact that you don't need people, you can only cling to people who are stronger than you. He touched his chin and said, "I was Professor Sgollahhorn's favorite, and in the eyes of these people, it is clear that I have chosen my master. But after the fifth grade, they found out that I didn't really need a master, and that I was the master of everyone. ”

Redra said to his little sister: "I want you to know all this for yourself. At home, you are our little princess, but elsewhere, you may just be a pretty little girl. ”

Ariana lay in his arms: "What did my brother do in the first place?" ”

Red clearly recalls events when he first entered Hogwarts. He gave what he could call a 'mischievous' smile, "Well, my mother was in the medical wing at the time, and I can say that I sent a third of the students there. "His methods were much bloodier than Ariana's at that time, and while co-opting the descendants of the nobles who could not resist for the time being, he also taught those who were not so important to teach everyone that he was not easy to mess with. Mom was a Muggle, he was half-blood, and no one knew the surname Riddle.

- From the very beginning, he knew he was going to protect his mother. Not only because she was a weak Muggle, but because she was his mother.

Ariana suddenly realized, "Is this Slytherin tradition?" ”

When she saw Seifer, she immediately asked him the same question.

Severus then understood why Gretel Brins was pursuing a first-year girl, and he thought that his students were so precocious after graduation.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and said, "Enna, it's like this everywhere. You always have to choose which side to be, and the other side will become your enemy. ”

Ariana immediately said, "What if I don't want to be on either side? ”

"It's up to you." Severus said he couldn't think for her. He replied to Ariana's astonishment, he had never treated her like this. He always gave her good things and helped her prepare everything.

She stared at him. It's so funny, she thought. Did he teach me in his own way?

"But it won't be easy." He simply said, "Not many people succeed." Like me, I had a terrible time at Hogwarts in the first few years. ”

Ariana just wanted to nod her head, and immediately asked, "What happened later?" ”

Severus recalled: "Later, those people found fun games. He guessed it was because of the werewolf. If it hadn't happened in the Chamber of Secrets, he didn't know if he wouldn't have been able to get rid of the four Gryffindor bastards until he graduated.

This is not a good example.

Ariana frowned and thought. She had always thought that Seifer was a powerful wizard, and she didn't know that he had also been bullied by others, or rather, a weakling.

When she returned to her bedroom in the evening, she reminisced about her father, brother, and Seifer, and found that they had all been like weaklings. It was completely different from what she thought.

She ran to her mother, and she thought that her mother might be different. Mom doesn't get bullied like a weakling, does she? She's so powerful.

But her mother's answer scared her.

"Maid?" Ariana screamed. Or a Muggle maid, it's horrible, even scarier than Daddy, Brother, and Seifer combined.

Only then did she remember that she had never told her little daughter about it. "Before I became a maid," she said, "I grew up in a kitchen, and that's pretty good compared to your father, at least I'm fed a lot of the time, whatever it is." ”

Ariana felt that the day had been too exciting.

My mother used to be a kitchen maid and started working as a walker. She also worked as a private maid for six years, waiting for an old lady until she met her father, and then she returned to London.

"Did it get better after that? Right? Ariana looked forward to asking.

Pauss stammered, not wanting to hit her little daughter too hard.

"No, actually, we just met again. You know, he didn't decide to marry me as soon as he saw me. "She embellishes the events. But judging by Ariana's expression, she was a failure, and she was disappointed like she didn't receive a Severus gift for Christmas.

Pauss decided to skip that time: "Then we separated. Then we were reunited in the hospital, we got married, and we had your brother. "Great, she's done.

"Did he save you?" Ariana breathed a sigh of relief, great, Daddy had come to save Mom.

"Yes." Ross said with a smile.

But Ariana still looked depressed: "But, he disappeared after that, right?" She let out a long sigh, "You haven't enjoyed much happiness before he's gone." ”

- Actually, I didn't feel better until he disappeared.

Bao Si cooperated and made a nostalgic look: "Yes, at that time, I was very much looking forward to his return. ”

- and then lock him up, and your brother and I will live happily ever after.

But even so, Ariana felt that her mother was having too hard. She sat down and hugged her and said, "Mom, don't worry, Dad will never leave again." My brother and I will be with you, too. ”

"Thank you, my little princess." Rose hugged her hard, "Now it's time for you to go to bed." You're already an hour late. She pointed to the clock, which was already eleven o'clock.

"Yes, Mom." Ariana kissed Prith on the cheek and went upstairs. She felt that she had kind of understood, and maybe she should lower her profile a little bit, as Mom, Dad, Brother, and Seifer had done? She seems to have grown up suddenly.

Pauss saw Tom standing in the doorway.

"Did you hear that?" She asked strangely, why didn't he come just now?

Tom walked over.

"We're terrible, aren't we?" He recalled a lot of things when he listened outside, and found that in the first half of his life, there were not many good memories between him and her.

Baosi thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively: "Yes." ”

Tom asked strangely, "Then why ......" He stared at the woman, not understanding for the first time what she was thinking.

- Maybe he could use the Deception to take his mind.

But he remembered that he had never thought of digging her thoughts out of her head in this way. Maybe just once, but he hasn't done it since. He wondered how he could have forgotten such a simple solution, but he still didn't want to do it.

Even though he didn't finish, Pauss knew what he meant. His eyes were so obvious.

She didn't feel at ease and began to make her bed and get ready for bed. When they were both in bed, he still used the phrase 'Is she a fool?' His eyes were fixed on her.

Rose turned off the lights and decided to ignore him.

She was asleep. Tom was awake all the time, and there was a lot of stuff in his head spinning around.

'I want him to look like his father......' said Merope Gaunt died.

'Goodbye, Tom, see you at Hogwarts. So Dumbledore Hogwarts didn't give him what he wanted, he never pampered him like the other professors, and he seemed to know all his little secrets, those hidden thoughts.

'Paus, would you like this man to be your husband?' Love Him, care for Him, respect Him, and accept Him, whether sick or healthy, poor or rich, until death separates you? 'Asked in front of the Father's Chapel.

Beside him, wearing an old lady's white gauze skirt and a cheap flower crown, twenty-year-old Pauline said, "I do." ”

Tom looked at Paus, who was lying next to him, and then took her hand.

- At least she did.

It's unexpectedly good to be back at Hogwarts. More than Severus Snape could have imagined. After many years, he thought that he was no longer the child he was at that time.
