The Space Dog or Space Grim?
2
Snape’s POV but more third POV.
Unbelievable, we are watching Potter’s spawn who reincarnated. Burning in bitterness and hatred in his stomach for Potter snatched Lily and had a child with him.
Black and nothingness, slowly glows to reveal stars, gas and dust. Slowly zoom out to show more stars and gas.
Students gap in awe of the space, suddenly they feel smaller at the scene of space.
“Scientists can tell us many things about space. They can tell us how far away the stars are. They can tell us that space starts one hundred kilometers above the Earth.” A woman speaks from outwhere, but sounds like she is the narrator.
“Scientists?” Pureblood asked in confusion while muggle-borns and raised-muggles looked at this person in disbelief. Well, Purebloods don't know stuff about muggles and advancing technology. Snape internally rolled eyes at stupidity because potions are similar to chemistry and herbal medicines.
“But they can’t tell us about the Space Dog!” The woman exclaimed as the giant black smokey dog jumped out the gas as the comet shot behind him, then he chased the comet. The Space Dog stumbles and rolls causing stardust to cover the screen to black out then reveal the full moon.
Younger students squealed when the dog jumped out of the gases, while dog lovers cooed at the dog who rolled.
“As far as the Space Dog’s concerned, the Moon is just a big, tempting ball. And almost every night he takes a bite.” The woman continued as the Space Dog jumped and opened his jaws to bite the moon, effectively chomping out then falling out of the screen.
The once full moon looks wanes, then becomes a reflection of the water when the foot tapped it.
“And that’s the real reason the moon has phases.” Revealed woman is the mother. She brushes her daughter’s long hair who sits on her lap. Father shared their picnic blanket and smiled at them as they looked up at the moon.
“Muggles? Now we watch filthy muggles?” Black’s mother spat in distaste, she still pissed about Black’s confession about Potter’s spawn. Snape internally agreed with her because he has a muggle father who is abusive to his own son and wife because they have magic. Also he is bitter about muggles not helping her and him to get out the abusive home. Because muggles worry about their looks and reputation rather than helping “freaks”.
“So, when the Moon is big and round, that’s when the Space Dog doesn’t take a bite?” A little girl asked, still looking at the moon. Mother smirked and held the Chang’e doll up next to her daughter.
“That’s when the Moon Goddess, Chang’e, makes him spit it out,” Mother answered and the Chang’e doll tapped on the little girl and cried, “BLAH!” Mother who pretends to spit out the moon.
Everyone laughed expecting purebloods who stay cold and pureblood masks because how they are raised be, not show their emotions because they can smell a moment of your weakness.
Mother and little girl laughed and snorted. Father laughed in amusement.
“All right, does anyone want to hear the scientific explanation?” He asked in amusement, the daughter pretended to be thinking and shook her head.
“Sorry baba, I like the Mommy explanation best!” Fei Fei exclaimed and laughed to snuggle with her mother, Mother looked up in amusement at Father's mocked defeated look.
Girls and mothers cooed except Black’s mother who raised her nose in disgust.
“Outnumbered.” Mother teased the father who rolled his eyes and shook his head in amusement. Young Fei Fei gasps and looks up at her mother in excitement.
“Tell me about Chang’e.” She asked and waited for mother’s answer. Mother smiled at her while father sighed.
“Again?”
Young Fei Fei nodded and answered, “Again, again! I love to hear about the moon goddess! Tell me, momma?”
Mother smiled and she untied her scarf from around her neck, it had an image of the moon goddess, and she held the scarf in front of young Fei Fei, using it as a prop as she started to sing.
The image of the moon goddess coming to life, she smiled gently with intense special green eyes stare at you and she looked like she was dancing in the air and floated down to the man who reached out at her to drag her down and hold her. They looked at each other tenderly.
Everyone was stunned by this and realized Chang’e look similar to Potters with Lily’s eyes but with Asian features.
“LONG AGO - AN ANCIENT STORY
BEAUTIFUL AND KIND CHANG’E
AND A HANDSOME MAN NAMED HOUYI
WERE IN LOVE--” She sings in the background and Fei Fei interrupted her mother and looked up at her.
“True love?” Fei Fei asked, her mother smiled at her and Fei Fei looked back at the image as mother started singing again.
Snape saw Headmaster’s twinkle eyes look more bright of twinkles at “true love”.
Chang’e and Houyi smiled at each other, her necklace glowed and elevated, they looked down and looked at each other in horror.
“TRUE LOVE
BUT SHE TOOK A MAGIC POTION GIVING IMMORTALITY-
Everyone stares in alarm while Snape blink in doubt as mother sings about potion giving immortality, impossible. Well expect Flamels who succeeded with Stone and they lived for nearly 600 years. But it's impossible.
-THEN SHE FLOATED
LEAVING HER TRUE LOVE
AND SHE WAITS FOR HIM ON THE MOON ABOVE-” She sings as the necklace broke by half of the jewelry as Chang’e was pulling back by invisible rope from Houyi who still hold her arms, Chang’e horrified face and struggled to hold him but she slipped out and floated as Houyi chasing her but she is too far away and pull to the moon and fade out.
Girls and some boys who love romantic stories, and people who are in relationships stare at the scene, struggle to process because they can't imagine how one of both has drank a potion and taken their lover away from each other. They cling to their lovers.
Fei Fei tugged the scarf down in front of her to reveal the waning moon.
“And that’s where she lives now - on the Moon, with only Jade Rabbit to keep her company.” Mother finished her singing and answered Fei Fei who looked back at her.
One of the students muttered, “How? How can she live on the moon?” But no one has answers for this. Except muggle-borns and raised-muggle knew the answer because muggles did rocket to the moon in 1969 which was a few years ago. They knew that it would be very shocking to purebloods whose ignorance of muggles’ advanced than theirs because they are stuck in the middle ages.
“Why?” Mother sighed and hugged her.
“Because Houyi died here on Earth.” Mother answered in sadness for Chang’e.
Lily looks so heartbroken. Snape swallowed thickly, realizing Lily would love her child. And her child never sees her lover again.
“And when she cries, her tears turn into stardust.” Fei Fei said and looked down at the scarf and pulled it up to show the image of clouding to reveal Chang'e floating down and reaching out to Houyi like she longed for him.
“LONGING, HOPING
FOR HER ONE TRUE LOVE NOW SHE WAITS FOR HIM ON THE MOON ABOVE.” Mother resumed her singing as Chang’e held Houyi and hugged each other and faded out as mother finished singing. Mother tossed her scarf in the air and it floated up.
“FOREVER?” Fei Fei softly sings and looks up at her parents.
“FOREVER.” Her parents sing together and share tender stares at each other as father wraps her scarf around her neck. They smiled at each other in love.
Fei Fei watched and giggled.
Everyone softly smiled at the family scene, while some of them felt heartbroken for Chang’e fate.
A moment later, Fei Fei lay on her stomach to watch the moon.
“Baba, do you think Chang’e is real?” Fei Fei asked Father and looked at him.
“Absolutely, every tale has little truth in it.” Albus Dumbledore answered. He remember of his stupid youth with Grindlewald about Deathly Hallows. However it seemed Potter and Evan’s daughter would be mistress of death. Albus nods.
“If your mother says she’s real, then she is absolutely real!” He said in indulgence then Fei Fei giggled as her mother took her to tickle her for a moment.
“Thank you!” She thanked Father then whispered to Fei Fei’s ear while she looked at the moon, “Look up. Can you see Jade Rabbit? He’s making a potion.” Fei Fei turns to see the moon to look for the Jade Rabbit.
“I can see him!” Fei Fei said in excitement and jumping on her mother’s lap, Mother laughed.
“What do you think he’s making?” She asked, they looked at each other in amusement and happiness, Fei Fei tucked her strand of long hair.
“Moooon mush!” The family held notes together and laughed.
“Moon Mush?” One year student asked in confusion. Everyone nods in agreement and confusion. Snape internally rolled eyes in annoyance.
