The happiness of HP

Silesia put the package in front of the two children, then swept it low, stopped in front of Apollo and Artemis in a well-trained manner, picked up the letter, stretched out her head, and stretched the red envelope to the children in front of them.Apollo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then resignedly reached out to take down the letter——

"Are you going to drive or should I drive?" Artemis discussed with his brother with a frightened look.

"Let me do it, Dad must be very angry." Apollo said, all his attention was focused on the letter, and the four corners of the letter began to smoke.

"Oh, no, open it quickly! Apu!" Artemis' voice was full of despair.

Apollo frantically opened the sealing wax, and some students covered their ears.However, there was no response to the letter after a long time, so everyone relaxed their vigilance, but at this moment, an angry voice filled the entire hall, even shaking the dust off the ceiling——

"Apollo Prince!!! Artemis Evans!!! I didn't expect you to be so overreaching! Making Veritaserum and Polyjuice Potion while I wasn't home, ok Well, at least I already know that you have been able to prepare these two medicines well, but what makes me angry is that you are so desperate to sell them to the pharmacy on Motra Lane!" A man's voice was louder than It was usually magnified at least a hundred times, howling in the air.The dishes and spoons on the table were bouncing up and down, and the sound of bouncing back from the stone wall was deafening.

The two children were almost crying.The man's voice continued: "I don't remember that I have taught you to make fun of your own life like this! Artemis, you have always been very good, but why did you ignore your brother this time?! Apollo, your What about sanity?! Magic, when I saw your usual potion bottle appear in Bellor's hand, and then he told me that it was the potion he bought from Motra Lane, I was so worried that I almost wanted to go back to Germany Well, maybe you didn't do it? But, I think, I need an explanation, why your potion is in such a dangerous place? Remember, I will let Simbo investigate, you know he is in Germany energy. For your reckless behavior, I attach a 1422 edition of "The International History of Magic" to you. In the next correspondence, I hope to get the chronology and reflections written by you. I hope you can get some Enlightenment, history will teach us more." The voice gradually calmed down, "My dear, please forgive my anger, but I am very worried when I think of you going to that alley without permission. Children, 11 years ago On that rainy night, I tossed alone in that crappy house for almost the whole night. From afternoon to early morning, I almost thought that I died several times. I almost thought that I was going to take you to see your father. But, No. I don't know whether this result is lucky or unfortunate, but I have known a truth since I was a child, cherishing what I hold. So, even if you were judged to be less than 5 years old when you were born, I didn't give up on you, because, You are the treasure left to me by your father. Children, you are now 11 years old. This is the result of my endless work every day. I tell you this not to make you feel guilty, nor to make you grateful to me, but I want to tell you a truth, you are not qualified to put yourself in any danger at any time..." The voice looked tired.

"Father..." Both children bowed their heads obediently and reflected on their mistakes.

And at the teacher's table, Severus listened to this, as if his heart had been ripped out.The whole hall was silent, it was a conversation between a father and a child.

"Children, I haven't been back to the UK for many years, you know the reason, and the people around me haven't mentioned that country to me for many years, because they know that if they mention the UK in front of me, they will die. I I know, I am escaping, escaping from the fact that your father left. Dear children, that damned war is over, but what I lost is my parents, the most important mentor, the closest comrade-in-arms, and my lover. I My home was almost destroyed in the war, I hate myself, I hate the war, and if you didn't need potions, I'd rather be a muggle and stay out of the wizarding world. No matter how many years pass, I love your father , I often think, he is always by my side, I can wake up next to him every morning, cook him food, and then study magic together, even if it’s just to watch him make potions, and I can say good night to him at night, Such a happy day, I am willing to exchange all my reputation and glory, just one day. Seriously, I still don’t want to believe that your father has... Forget it, let’s not talk, let’s continue this letter It will be very long." The voice let out a light cough, very heavy.

The entire hall was silent, and Severus was suddenly a little thankful that if it weren't for the presence of the two children, he might never see Harry again in his life.He listened to Harry's show of love, his eye circles were moist, he knew too well how simple the happiness Harry wanted, damn it, if it wasn't for his own arrogance, how could so many years have been wasted?

"I guess, the time when Silesia crosses the strait and reaches you will be when you have returned to the common room. If not, please forgive my mistake. The potion is in the package. This time the potion is improved. The effect It won’t be bad, the volume this time is five weeks. Because after Dad receives your letter, he will go to Atlantis. , right?" The two children nodded instinctively, as if their father was right in front of them.

Atlantis!Recently, all the wizards know through the brochures that it is a place full of legends, a paradise for adventurers, and a lost continent.Those who can go there have top-notch magical powers and combat effectiveness. There are many legendary creatures there, and the mysterious new generation of adventurer kings, SSS-level adventurer widows, live there for a long time.And Severus frowned, what was Harry doing in such a dangerous place?

"I'm a little surprised that you chose Hogwarts. I didn't expect that after I carefully arranged for you to receive the invitation letter from Durmstrang, you would still receive an invitation to enroll in Hogwarts, and even There is Beauxbaton's admission invitation. Alas, I spent a lot of top potion materials to get Jefferson, which is a bit of a pity. However, I am really relieved by your choice, but, I guess, you must be Slytherin, right? I was almost sorted there, and your father is a true Slytherin. Children, maybe Slytherin is not doing well, but if you can get into Slytherin I'd be very happy and relieved. Well, Al may be suitable for Ravenclaw, but I don't think she would like to let Apple go alone where it is not suitable. Well, children, I am sure, you I can be an excellent student, but one thing I am not sure about is that your talent will make you too proud and arrogant. Therefore, I must make sure that no matter how basic the course is, you will listen carefully. Because , some of the professors at Hogwarts also taught me and your father. Even though I have been away for 12 years, I have not had any contact with the UK in these years, but I believe that the lineup of professors at Hogwarts should not It has changed too much. As a former student, I have prepared some gifts, and you may be willing to help me deliver them yourself." The voice became gentler.

The old professors couldn't help but began to recall, which of their students would it be?

"Remember, I don't want to hear from any of the professors at the fair at Christmas that you're doing badly, or that you haven't done your homework. Also, to share with you, Dad's new book, On Aquaman Pattern" has been published, well, Simbo gave me the first ten numbered books of the first edition as a souvenir, and sent you the one numbered seven and the one numbered three. Also, if you have seen Professor Dumbledore's grave, give me a bouquet of flowers. If nothing else, I will pick you up at platform nine and three quarters before Christmas. Well, sweet dreams, children. You My father, Jeremy Asaplet. Of course, there is a small punishment at the end: because your behavior makes me worry, so this time the potion has no grass and lemon flavors, and replaced it with It smells of garlic and stinky socks."

"Uh..." The two children stared dumbfounded at the letter, which automatically caught fire and burned to ashes.

Finally finished speaking, people's ears are still "buzzing".

The Ravenclaws in the hall were not calm when they heard "On the Aquatic Magicweave" and the last Jerome Ashaprite. You must know how famous the master's reputation is in the entire wizarding world. How hard to buy his books.The professors on the stage did not expect such a familiar but unfamiliar name.They looked at the two Slytherins, and it dawned on them—

It turned out that they were the children of that master, no wonder they were so stylish.

"Why don't I remember that Hogwarts had a student named 'Jerome Ashaprite'?" Flitwick, the oldest, couldn't figure out what this student looked like after thinking for a long time.

And Professor Sprout looked at Severus, guessed a lot, and then said: "In those years, the students' limelight was taken away by the foursome of Gryffindor and Severus Now, it's normal not to notice a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff."

Hearing this, Severus couldn't help feeling funny, what made them think that the little troll was about the same age as him?And what made them think the Gryffindor boy was a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff?

"Yes. But, it's a pity. He was almost invited by me to teach Potions at Hogwarts at the end of last semester. Horace had recommended him to me, but I have been unable to contact him. He He is always very busy, and I heard that it is very difficult for people from the Potions Association to meet this great teacher." Professor McGonagall thought that Severus' silence was an acquiescence, so he did what he had done before. made a report.

"Great tutor?" After all, Shaker is young and has been in politics, but he doesn't know much about the internal structure of some academic associations.

"Yes, each association has three to seven great mentors after the president and vice president. The big mentors are the new force of the association, and their status is sometimes higher than the president. They are full of mystery and have been engaged in research for many years work, laying a theoretical foundation for the development of the subject." Flitwick said, "I heard from some colleagues in the Charms Association that the Association intends to invite Mr. Ashaprite to be a great mentor. It's just that he has not been contacted."

"Well, the Rune Association also sent us a unilateral appointment letter yesterday, asking us to greet Mr. Azaplet as a great mentor. Oh, I didn't expect him to publish another book. I'll go tomorrow Mail order." The ancient rune professor, the young Professor Sheila Orwell, joined the rune society early on under the recommendation of Bathhida Babling.

And Severus watched as the two children reached out and touched the hawk, and then the hawk flapped its wings and flew away.He didn't know if the children would mention him when they replied to the letter, and if he did, would Harry come to Hogwarts immediately after receiving the letter?Wasn't his attitude towards the children just too bad?Also, that Azaplet... er, it turned out to be his boy?

Severus was a little surprised, he was sure that it was his boy, maybe others would not recognize it, but he immediately recognized that voice as the voice he had been thinking about day and night.Suddenly, a deep sense of loss and helplessness hit him. Not only did he miss 11 years of the children's lives, he couldn't even judge what happened to Harry during these 12 years.

France, Maralda Forest

Jeremy set up a cauldron in the tent, sitting in the scent of the potion and the white smoke from the cauldron, suddenly remembered the opening words Severus said in the first Potions class——

You have come here to learn the delicate science and exacting craft of potion-making, and since there is no foolish wand waving here, many of you will not believe it is magic.I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursts of fragrance. You won't really understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels, which makes people's hearts sway and their minds blurred. ...I can teach you how to raise your reputation, brew honor, and even prevent death.

A wry smile appeared——Sev, you are right, I can only remember you through the potion, this crucible with white smoke and fragrance is indeed a wonderful place for me now.I used it to brew my own glory, not the savior, not Harry Potter, just me - Jerome Ashaprite; I used it to prevent the deaths of two children who were 11 years old I hope they will be more like you, as brilliant and calm as you.I was still too impulsive to send them a shouting letter. I don't know if they will be unhappy?However, I am really terrified, Sev, I understand that you have been worried about me, and it is easy to make the closest people sad by always making some dangerous moves.I'm so sorry, Sev.

My name at the end of the letter is: Jeremy Azapret, it is intentional, the children will probably enter Slytherin, those little snakes have always been the guys who watch people order, some A well-known master in the wizarding world can always make their life in Slytherin easier, right?

To tell the truth, I hate my past self, hate that ignorant Harry Potter, if he is as proficient in potions and magic as he is now, why would he let you die?How can you let you kill Dumbledore and bear the condemnation of your soul for him?

Jeremy let out a soft sigh—

Why do people always know how to cherish after losing it?

I killed you, I killed the father of the children, I killed the best Slytherin student, I killed a potions master.

So, I also.

To return the children to an elegant and powerful father, to return the world to an excellent and perfect Slytherin-like character, and to return the world to a talented mentor in the field of potions...

However, I will never be able to give myself back the one who loved and protected me - Severus Snape.
