[HP] Mrs. Snape

When Arya rushed over to pick up the baby at 03:30 in the afternoon, Susan apologized to her.

"What's wrong?" Alia looked at Susan's expression, hurriedly bypassed her and rushed into the room.

I saw Andrew curled up on Susan's messy sofa, covered with a blanket, biting his fingers in his mouth, his face was stained with tears, and fell asleep, but his sleep was also very restless, sobbing from time to time in his dreams.

"Oh, Andrew." Arya threw down the bag, knelt in front of the sofa, touched the child's trembling eyes, and there were still wet tears on the eyelashes.Wrapping Andrew's small body in a blanket and hugging him tightly, I feel very uncomfortable.

"Mom," the child seemed to feel her mother's familiar breath, and hugged her mother's neck tightly, murmured while half asleep and half awake.

"Well, I'm here, baby, Mommy's here." Arya responded softly, stroking Andrew's wet back.

Put the child carefully in the back of the car, took the bag from Susan, and was about to leave, only to hear Susan say guiltily: "Sorry, Arya, I..."

Alia made a puzzled expression and said in surprise: "Susan, why do you say sorry? It's normal for a child to cry. It's the first time he's been away from me for so long. It must be difficult to coax him. Today is thanks to you, otherwise I would I can’t get such a good job.”

"What? Really, you got a job? So fast?" Susan exclaimed.

Arya frowned slightly, turned around to see that Andrew in the car hadn't been awakened, and then smiled and said softly: "Yes, the music teacher at Standing Middle School has a decent salary, and there is a choir in the school, which is quite good. "

"Oh, I knew it, Arya, you've always been the best!" Susan happily patted Arya on the back, happier than she got a job.

"Thank you, Susan." Arya hugged her friend, "How about we celebrate together this weekend? Shall I call you in advance?"

Andrew slept restlessly. When he got home, Arya just picked him out of the car when Andrew woke up.

"Mom?" Andrew blinked, his voice hoarse.

"Yeah, mom is here, baby." Arya continued to hold the child, smiling and kissing Andrew's face, carrying her and Andrew's bag with one hand, and opening the door.

Andrew whimpered aggrievedly, buried his face in his mother's neck, wrapped his hands tightly around his mother's neck, and did not speak.

As soon as she entered the room, Alia quickly dropped the things on her shoulders, and comforted the child softly, "Andrew, mother's baby, why are you crying? Did you have a bad time with Aunt Susan today?"

But Andrew didn't speak, he hugged his mother's neck tightly, and in his mother's gentle voice, he could "hum" at most.

Arya is not in a hurry. Andrew is a little awkward when he is wronged or unhappy. He waits for his mother to coax him and comfort him. He is not willing to talk to his mother until he is in a better mood.

It wasn't until Arya hugged him to make dinner that Andrew pointed out his grievances, "The milk is wrong, you can't drink it!"

"Wrong? Didn't Aunt Susan mix the two bags together?" Arya blew a mouthful of the beef and vegetable paste in the spoon and fed it to Andrew's mouth.

"Yeah." With something in his mouth, Andrew nodded firmly, "It's late, Andrew is hungry, so he won't give me anything!"

"Really? Well, Mom has to talk about Aunt Susan! It's not good."

"Yeah." With mother's approval, Andrew obviously became more talkative. He stuck out his little tongue, pointed to his lips, and wrinkled his little face, "It's burning, Andrew is burning."

"What?" Arya quickly put down the bowl in her hand, picked up the child and carefully examined the tip of the child's tongue. Sure enough, the tip of the tongue was red, this Susan!Didn't tell you, Andrew is afraid of getting hot!Fortunately, there was no foam, so I hurried over to find a bottle of spray.

"Ah, Andrew opened his mouth wide," he opened his mouth skillfully, "swish" twice, his mouth was cool, Andrew stretched out his tongue, and touched it with his fingers.

"Does it still hurt?" Alicia asked with concern.

Shaking his head, Andrew continued to stick out his tongue, and said with a big tongue: "It doesn't hurt."

After the mother and son had dinner, Andrew had already forgotten the grievances of today. He wanted to hear his mother play the piano. When he was in the small town, at this time, Alia was teaching, which was also Andrew’s music time, but there was no piano in the room. Leah searched in the luggage, and finally found a small harmonica, holding the baby in the warm water, Arya played the harmonica for Andrew, which was a piece that Andrew could play intermittently on the piano before "Carnival of the Animals".

In the bathtub, Andrew was soaking naked in the bubbles, holding the duck in one hand and the frog in the other, looking up at his mother. After the song was over, Andrew frowned and said, "It's not good!"

Of course it doesn’t sound good. It was originally an orchestral suite composed of piano, violin, and various orchestral music. How could a small harmonica sound good when played? Arya nodded Andrew’s small nose and said with a smile: “Picky listeners.”

Andrew grinned, smiled, and tapped the tip of his mother's nose, successfully leaving a ball of foam on his mother's face, and smiled even more happily.

Arya's work has been planned for a long time. When Andrew was one year old, Arya had already obtained the relevant qualifications as a teacher.Since the beginning of this year, Aaliyah has been paying close attention to the recruitment information related to London, and Standing Middle School is one of Aaliyah's long list of plans. She originally planned to start applying after moving to London after a while. Later, something happened to the Gellers, and Arya had to advance the plan.

The last time I came to London with Lydia Carter, it was not just about buying a house. She happened to meet the principal of Standing Middle School at Mr. Carter’s dinner party. Alicia seized the opportunity and had a conversation with the principal. The cordial and friendly conversation revealed her previous work experience without leaving a trace, and she was about to move to London to find another job. Lydia, who saw the clue, immediately arranged a performance at the banquet venue tacitly. , which drew thunderous applause from the crowd,

So, a week ago, Alia received the news that Standing Middle School was interested in hiring a music teacher, and immediately handed in her resume, which led to a smooth interview today.

However, the most important thing now is what should Andrew do?

On Monday, I will start working. The original music teacher plans to move the whole family to Australia in the next semester, and the school requires Alia to go to work before the Christmas holiday in order to get familiar with the working environment. There is only one week left for Alia. This week, Alia will stay at school almost all day, and more importantly, what will Andrew do when she goes to work in the future?Before Arya thought about leaving the child to Susan to look after for a few hours while she was working, but seeing what happened to Andrew today, she knew that Susan was not a good candidate.

Now she can only put the child in school, and no matter how unwilling Arya is, she can only do so.

The nursery school that Alia chose was very good. It was recommended by Mrs. Cooper, her neighbor. All three of her children had been in that school when they were young. One teacher was in charge of two children, and the supervision mechanism was complete. After the field trip, Ai Leah thinks that except for the fact that the fee is not low, everything else is very good.

However, on the first day of sending the child to kindergarten, something went wrong.

At the beginning, Andrew was very happy when he learned that he was going to school. He likes to learn new knowledge. At only three years old, he has already learned to spell letters, and his mastery of words has reached the level of ordinary first-grade students. Even better It's mathematics. Andrew is almost self-taught when it comes to numbers. Alia just taught him the Arabic numerals from zero to ten and 11. He compared the addition and subtraction operations in the picture book, and he figured out the numbers in less than a morning. The relationship between, learned to add...

And these made Arya both surprised and worried. She never deliberately let the child learn, and even encouraged Andrew to play outdoors, but the speed at which he absorbed knowledge and the progress of learning made Arya realize that It turns out that her son might really be a genius.

After realizing this, Aaliyah thought for a long time, and finally decided not to change the child's current learning status, but to teach a little knowledge every day, completely according to the child's own interests, without forcing anything, and not suppressing the child's talent.

In this way, Andrew's absorption of knowledge is like a never-saturated sponge, yearning for all the knowledge he has never touched.

Knowing that he was going to school, Andrew was in a state of excitement throughout the weekend and kept packing his schoolbag—he knew that he had to carry a schoolbag when he went to school, and he kept asking his mother how the school was, and whether she would Send him off, is he going to stay there all day, can he take his baby bottle with him, will the teacher speak loudly...

However, on Monday morning, when Andrew held his mother's hand and stood at the door of the classroom, looking at a room full of crying and fussing children, some of whom were even drooling and rolling on the ground, Andrew grabbed his mother's arm and fought hard. I don't want to stay here anymore.

Arya always felt that Andrew was just smarter than other children, but he still needed friends of the same age. When he lived in the small town, there were very few children. Even Susie, who often played with Andrew, was smarter than him. Being two years older, and obviously preferring to be around older people, made Andrew a little lonely, although he didn't feel it himself.

And this school is an opportunity for Andrew to make new friends.

"Andrew," Arya knelt down, looked into the child's eyes and said seriously, "Honey, this is where you will go to school in the future, let's go say hello to the teacher and friends."

At this time, the teacher also came over, and she also squatted in front of Andrew, and said in a deliberately soft voice: "Hi, I'm Jane, what's your name?"

Andrew glanced at the smiling teacher, then shook his head and threw himself into his mother's arms without speaking.

"Haha, I'm a little shy." The teacher laughed.

Arya stroked the child's back and whispered in his ear: "Andrew, the teacher is greeting you, what should you do?"

After listening to his mother's words, Andrew was a little reluctant, but he stuck his head out of his mother's arms, stood up and straightened his clothes, looked into the teacher's eyes and said, "Hi, Miss Jane, my name is Andrew Dashwood, I'm very happy See you." After speaking, he stretched out his hand like an adult.

Jane seemed to find it a little funny, so she laughed too, stretched out her hand to hold Andrew's little hand as if playing a game, and said cutely in a tone that an adult deliberately imitated a child: "Ah, Andrew is awesome! How old is this year? "

Arya sighed in her heart. Andrew didn't like others to treat him as an ignorant child, and even more hated to ask "childish" questions like how old he was and what his name was. He gave the child an encouraging look and warned him to be "polite" !

Andrew pursed his lips and said in a melancholy tone, "Three years old."

"Really? Awesome!" Jane still had the same tone, which made Alia feel as if her heart was scratched by a spoon, and she continued: "Then Andrew, the teacher will take you to meet other children Do you know each other?"

Speaking of leading him away without waiting for Andrew's promise, Andrew became a little anxious, threw off the teacher, and called "Mom".

Alia understood that Andrew had something to say to her, so she smiled at the teacher opposite, carried Andrew to the corner, stroked the child's black hair, and asked softly, "Andrew, don't you like this place?"

Andrew nodded, pouted, and looked at his mother reproachfully.

"why?"

"Childish!" He raised his head and pointed with his chin to the nursery rhymes hanging on the wall, which were marked with numbered notation, and Andrew grew up learning to play the piano with the staves with Alia when he was young.

Arya looked around earnestly. Indeed, for Andrew, this place might be a bit... well, too simple.At the beginning, I only thought of providing my child with a place to get along with peers, but I didn't expect Andrew's expectations.

Arya bent down, looked at Andrew, and said seriously: "Andrew, I'm sorry, mom didn't think about this. Mom just thought that this place can help you make some friends." Looking at the children who had already started rolling on the floor, Alia continued: "Well, Andrew, what about us, try here today, if you like it, we will continue, if you don't like it today, then we won't come tomorrow, okay?"

Andrew tilted his head and thought for a while, nodded, and agreed.

Aliya stood outside the classroom, watching the teacher lead Andrew to the center of the children, watching him introduce himself clearly, watching him find a corner, take out the books from the little frog schoolbag, and frown Looking at the letter card that the teacher sent him beside the teacher, and looking at the storybook in his hand, he sighed like a little adult, lowered his head and started flipping through his own book...

Arya was really worried, but she couldn't stay any longer, so she could only wave goodbye to Andrew through the window, and hurried to school.

On the first day of work, Alia was in a hurry. Her former music teacher, Mr. Ted, was short-tempered and had a bad temper. The steps are big, walking in a hurry, and Aaliyah trots almost the whole way to keep up. For many things, such as the work that the school music teacher is responsible for, the composition of the choir members, and Aaliyah's position in the school choir , spoke quickly, and then rushed to the next place without waiting for Arya to ask questions. If the principal hadn't told Arya in advance, she would have thought that Ted was doing it on purpose. fix her...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Arya was getting acquainted with the entire choir in the school auditorium. There was a call to find Arya, and it was Andrew's school.

Ignoring Mr. Ted's angry gaze, Arya hurried to the office, school?What happened to Andrew?

As soon as the call was received, teacher Andrew's cry came, and Alia called nervously: "Miss Jane, what's wrong? What's wrong with Andrew?"

There was constant sobbing on the phone, and the tone was vague, as if he had been greatly frightened, he said tremblingly: "Explosion! Your son exploded!"

"What?" There was a "buzz" in Arya's mind, her hands and feet lost strength in an instant, she leaned against the table, and heard Jane say intermittently: "Grab something with Peel, and then it exploded!"
