The happiness of HP

Chapter 30 Madam Pomfrey's Story · Night Vow

Years of humidity and darkness in the cellar made the Hogwarts house-elves always try their best to keep all the environmental conditions here within the range that the human body can bear with magic. Severus was not a man who liked to be immersed in regrets.He believes that since there is a debt, it must be repaid, and there is still plenty of time to repay the debt.He packed up the gifts from Harry, and he put those materials into the rare material storage cabinet. It has to be said that it was a very good behavior for Harry to close the cellar. A lot, otherwise I'm afraid they would have been destroyed or scored by those people who raided at the beginning.

More importantly, Harry's breath still remained here to some extent.

Put that book in the bookcase very preciously, and then started to prepare lessons. Tomorrow he will be in the sixth grade potion improvement class. I hope that Horace Slughorn's vision will still be as good as before, and he will not be fooled. Some small trolls who don't understand the essence of potions are mixed in.Of course, if anything, Severus would have made them understand that talent wasn't something that came easily.Severus, who shocked a group of seventh graders when he was less than 6 years old, would naturally not be afraid of these little Hogwarts trolls, even if he would face all kinds of gossip and slander.But he has faced these things in the past, so naturally he doesn't care.

He took out his lesson plans and briefly looked through them. After feeling that there was nothing left, he picked up the unfinished "A Brief Introduction to Ancient Mayan Art".When he didn't know that Mr. Ashaprite was a little troll who thought about it day and night, he felt that this gentleman's thinking was not simple. Looking at it now, he suddenly felt that he was a little out of touch. However, as a Slytherin, he firmly believed that the face For an unfavorable situation, it is better to turn it around with a positive attitude than complaining about others.However, before even reading two pages, I heard the gatekeeper Medusa report: "Madame Pomfrey is visiting."

Severus was taken aback, he knew that the head of the medical wing would not let him off tonight.So, he put away the book and said to the door: "Open it.

Madam Pomfrey came alone, although many old colleagues had quietly asked about the relationship between her two children and Severus, after all, Apollo and Severus looked very similar when they were young, But none of them dared to ask anything, Severus was still the headmaster recognized by Hogwarts anyway.Severus threw on a dozen protective spells of various colors after Madam Pomfrey entered, ensuring that the conversation would not be eavesdropped on by anyone, including the Ministry of Magic's surveillance bracelets.

"Severus, I don't want to go around in circles with you. What's the origin of the two children?" Madam Pomfrey looked at the junior with a gloomy expression, and didn't ask until he finished his magic.

"My child and Harry's." For this, Severus knew there was no need to hide.

"Oh, Severus, how could you...Harry was only 17 years old." Madam Pomfrey was a Slytherin and a capable witch doctor, and she understood everything at once.

"I love him. Bobby, at that time, we didn't know what tomorrow would be like, but I knew it, and he knew it, and I loved him, and he loved me. That was the only time, and I admit that I was a little desperate at the time." , so did he. However, I didn't expect to be so lucky..." Should I say good or bad?Severus couldn't tell.

"Well, I won't ask you the details," Poppy said, "but have you confessed to the children?"

Severus was silent for a long time before saying, "No."

"Severus! I simply don't understand what you are doing. At the sorting ceremony just now, didn't you do something like that enough to chill them? Severus, you are simply...unreasonable." Pomfur Mrs. Lei said angrily.

"Bobby, you don't know the current situation of Slytherin. How dare I gamble with the two of them? Just for the damn Hogwarts magic balance? Bobby, I'm a Slytherin, no Gryffin So great." Severus said dryly, "But, it's a foregone conclusion now, Poppy."

"So, Severus, why didn't you confess to the children? During the lecture..." Madam Pomfrey asked.

"Bobby, I'm not qualified to do that," Severus said simply.

Yes, I'm not entitled to come back to them with a confession after a 12-year absence.

"You are not qualified? You are their father, you are not qualified, who is?" Madam Pomfrey's anger had reached a critical point.

"Bobby, calm down!" Severus said, "Bobby, do you think I have the right to tell them that I am your father after they grow up and never show up? Bobby, do you think that after I told them They will be intimate with me immediately? Even I am ashamed to say it, these 12 years, when they need me, where am I? Bobby, when they are pregnant, they need my magic power, and I am not there; When they were born, they needed my company, but I wasn’t there; when they were threatened with death, they needed my help, but I wasn’t there; when they needed education, they needed my company, and I wasn’t there; When you are being bullied, you need my protection, and I am not there. Bobby, what qualifications do you think I have to say that I am a father?"

"But..." The Pomfreys' anger disappeared in an instant, seeing Severus' remorse, she didn't know what to say.

"Only Harry is qualified to say all this," Severus said.

"But, their father is Mr. Asample, Severus, will it be..." Madam Pomfrey said very worriedly, although she didn't want to hurt Severus, but the wizard can conceive and give birth alone Very few survived.

"If it weren't for the Howler letter, I might have this worry too. But now I can be sure that it was Harry who raised them," Severus said.

"Why?" Madam Pomfrey wondered.

"Voice. And..." He drew "Jerromy Asaprhett" in the air with his wand, and with a wave of his wand, the letters were scattered and reorganized, and it was impressively: HarryJames Potter! "It's a good idea, isn't it?"

"Well, since that's the case, Severus, you can just tell Harry that you're still alive." Madam Pomfrey was taken aback when she saw the familiar name appear, and then said immediately.

"Bobby, have you been assimilated into a Gryffindor after staying in Hogwarts for a long time? I can't, at least not now." Severus said, "Once Harry knows that I am not dead, he will Will come back immediately, that's for sure. But, is the current atmosphere in Britain suitable for him to come back? Taking a step back, even if he comes back, it's no wonder he isn't angry when he sees me in a state where I don't even have freedom. What is the fate of the old guy? Even if Harry has the ability to withstand the pressure, even if Harry's strength can already compete with those people, but I can't make him so tired. Bobby, I am no longer qualified as a partner, But I don't want to be disqualified forever. In any case, Harry should not be tarnished because of me, nor should his glory be usurped."

"Well, Severus, it's true that I didn't think carefully." Madam Pomfrey said, "Then, you have to be nice to the children." However, she thought in her heart: Do you think you didn't say Won't those two little ghosts tell Harry?After you turned them down something so big, wouldn't they talk about you to their dear daddy?

Severus didn't respond, he really didn't know what to do to be good for the kids.

"Okay, it looks like you have your own plans, so I won't say any more. Go back to the medical wing first. If you have time, come cook two pots of bones." Madam Pomfrey said, Left immediately afterwards.

Severus sat on the sofa in thought for a while, then went to the desk and wrote a few words on a piece of parchment, then snapped his fingers, and a house elf wearing a silver-green tea towel appeared in the cellar.

"Ster serves the head of Slytherin," said the house-elf.

"Send this to Mr. Inarius for me, and tell him that I want everything I deserve back." Severus said flatly, but his tone was firm.

"Yes." The house elf took the note and left immediately.

Severus sat in the office for another while, his mind full of images of Apollo and Artemis, those green eyes really made him feel like he was dreaming.However, it was no longer a nightmare in Azkaban, but a sweet dream that made him unwilling to wake up.

Slytherin Vault, Apollo's bedroom

"Dear Papa: Everything at Hogwarts is wonderful and we'll be fine, don't worry. You're right and we're sorry for worrying you, but we assure you we're not going to Pass Morat Lane. As for the production of compound decoction and veritaserum, we dare to make them only after we are very familiar with these two potions. Dad, you have too strict control over us. To be honest, making such a potion Potion is not difficult, and we can control our own magic power. Then, are you sure you are not showing off this?" Apollo wrote on the parchment in beautiful cursive letters, "Dad, we will finish you Don't worry about all the tasks you have given me. Don't worry about Al having me to take care of you. I won't cause you any more worries. In addition, you must be careful when you take risks outside. We have already lost our father, and we can't lose him again. you……"

After writing a long letter, Apollo sealed the letter with sealing wax, washed up and went to bed.You must know that the day's schedule is really tiring, without his father's company, and being worried and a little scared in a strange place makes him somewhat overwhelmed.

Slytherin Vault, Artemis' bedroom

"Dear Papa: Hogwarts is very interesting, the Sorting Hat sings a terrible song, and the school song is also a mess, it is not flattering. Other than that, everything is fine. Me and Ap I entered Slytherin, although Mr. Sorting Hat wanted to sort me into Ravenclaw, saying that I was very suitable there, but I thought that if I went to Ravenclaw, then Apu would be worried, so Me and it asked to go to Slytherin. Dad, I know we were wrong and shouldn't worry you, but I have to say, I hate the smell of smelly socks and garlic, if we study well and get O for every homework, Will there be fruit flavor and chocolate flavor next time?" Artemis sat at the desk obediently and wrote a letter in round characters, "Apu and I have made a lot of wound medicine and nutritional potions, Dad, we will have a good time. Yes, you must be good too. You don’t have to work too hard to do the task. Apu and I are waiting for you to participate in the trade fair at Hogwarts. I love you, and Apu loves you too. We will love you forever on behalf of our father... ..."

After Artemis finished writing the letter, he sealed the letter, washed it seriously, and then lay down on the bed and read a book for a while, before falling asleep without knowing it.

Late at night, Severus packed up the utensils after cooking a pot of raw bones in the office.He wanted to go to bed, but after thinking about it, he put on an old cloak again. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was worried that the children would not sleep well in the new environment.

Wearing a cloak, he came to the door of the only named dormitory in the Slytherin male dormitory area without thinking about it. For the first time, he realized that the Slytherin dean's office and the Slytherin student dormitory area The distance was so close that it was too late to regret it.Standing outside the door and thinking for a while, he waved his wand to make sure that the boy and his pets were asleep and could not be disturbed before pushing the door open.

Walking into Apollo's room, Severus realized that the kid was indeed a Slytherin, and everything was kept neat and tidy by him.He looked at the four animals in the room and frowned slightly. Although he knew that Harry was doing it for the children's health, it would take a lot of time for the children to take care of them. It might be possible before entering school, but after entering school, Their energies should be mainly focused on their studies. It seems that they have given orders to the house elves who take care of the cellar.He slowly approached the child's crib, and saw the boy sleeping soundly through the light of the water on the roof, and his expression completely softened for a moment.Then he silently tucked up the quilt for the boy, and quietly exited the room.

He heard the boy whisper softly when he gently closed the door: Dad...

However, the door was already closed, and Severus stood outside, even though he knew that the boy didn't call him "Dad" just now, an indescribable excitement, joy and the glory of being a father still filled his whole body .He stood facing the door panel for a long time, a smile could not help but climbed onto his face: Harry, thank you for everything you have done.

Then he walked into Artemis' room in the same way, and saw that the girl didn't even turn off the lights, and most of the things she saw were books.And the girl was on the bed, leaning on her side, half leaning against the head of the bed, with a book open in her hand, she obviously fell asleep after reading halfway through the book.Severus couldn't help frowning, stepped forward gently, and carefully took the book from the girl's hand—"Introduction to Transfiguration", the textbook for their first class tomorrow, which was full of key points And some question marks—clearly, the kid was previewing.He closed the book box, carefully placed it next to the pillow, and hugged the girl clumsily. At that moment, Severus felt a mixture of emotions, and the resonance between his veins made him feel moved like never before.He put the sleeping girl back on the bed, and then covered her with the quilt. At this moment, he heard the girl whispering in her sleep: "Dad, my brother and I will help father love you forever, so don't be sad ..."

These words were like a big hand grasping Severus' heart tightly, and Severus felt that his heart was about to be crushed.

I don't know how long it took before he took a deep breath, caressed his daughter's face tremblingly, his black eyes firmly looked at the girl who was connected with his blood, and swore to himself in his heart: Severus, you You must love Harry for the rest of your life, and never make him sad again; Severus, you must be a good father, and never let such a good child experience the hardships of life again.
