Chapter 85 For Lily! Snape's Public Apology!
That night, Blake stayed in the Room of All Requests as usual.
It was just because he didn't have the effect of the Elixir of Fortune.
So he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Until the next morning.
Kassandra and Hermione came to the Room of All Requests at the same time.
They wanted to verify a rumor with Blake.
"They all said you have a Phoenix."
"I think they're all crazy."
"How can you have a Phoenix?"
"It's strange. Did you do something strange again and then ~ made everyone misunderstand?"
The two of them spoke one after another and woke Blake up from his sleep.
Blake scratched his messy hair.
"What strange thing?"
"They said you have a Phoenix," Hermione said with a smile.
"Tell me, what did you do to make them misunderstand?"
Blake scratched his head.
"Misunderstand?
No. "
Kassandra and Hermione looked at each other.
"What do you mean …"
"You can't be telling me that you actually have a phoenix, right?"
Blake patted his head.
"Ah, I should really strengthen her today."
"Strengthen?"
"Uh … I mean feed her."
Blake stretched out his right hand.
Then.
A blue light flashed.
A beautiful and elegant blue bird appeared on Blake's arm.
"Ding!
Two extremely shocked emotions were detected!
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining two gold treasure chests. "
Blake nodded with satisfaction.
Gold treasure chests!
This proved that his luck didn't worsen because of the Elixir of Fortune.
Kassandra and Hermione opened their mouths in shock.
They didn't close it for a long time.
"You, you, you … you really have a Phoenix!"
Even Kassandra couldn't maintain her ladylike posture.
It was too shocking.
In this world, there seemed to be only two domesticated Phoenixes.
One was Fox from Dumbledore.
The other was called Sparkle.
It was the New Zealand Quidditch team …
The mascot of the Motora Macaw team.
And now …
There seemed to be one more.
And …
And it was a very special Ice Phoenix!
If Cassandra remembered correctly.
This was the first Ice Phoenix to appear in the world!
"Can … can I touch it?"
"It's her, Cassandra.
Phoenixes were very proud.
"Of course, there are very few such beautiful creatures in this world."
The last sentence was meant for Qing Nu.
Sure enough, she heard Blake praise her beauty.
Qing Nu happily raised her proud neck.
Blake placed Qing Nu on the ground.
"Her name is Qing Nu.
They come from the east. "
"By the way, you can feed her.
Let's cultivate our relationship.
"Maybe she'll let you touch her."
Blake took out a bucket of fresh fish.
He gestured to the two of them to feed Phoenix.
The two girls happily took the buckets.
He began the long process of gaining the Phoenix's trust.
Blake took the breakfast that Beck had left on the side.
First, he took a sip of the warm coffee.
After pondering for a while.
He took out a pen and started writing on the parchment.
It seemed to be a letter.
"Have you decided?
Dumbledore?”
Snape stood in front of Dumbledore with an expressionless face.
Dumbledore sighed.
"What do you want me to decide?"
Snape was silent for a while.
"Of course it's to decide what to do with me."
"So, have you realized your mistake?"
Snape was silent again.
But this time, he didn't speak.
"It's not a big deal to bravely admit your mistake, Severus."
"Didn't you find me back then, and then bravely admit that you made a big mistake?"
Snape's face turned pale.
It was as if a wound had been torn open again.
"I thank you for taking me in, Dumbledore …"
"But.
Now it seems that I should go.
Because … it seems that now.
Everyone in this school hates me. "
"There's no point for me to stay any longer."
Dumbledore crossed his arms and looked at Snape quietly.
"Maybe … we can change our perspective, Severus."
"You said that everyone in this school hates you and doesn't like you …"
"Then … I want to ask you, right now, in this school, is there anyone you like?"
Snape's mouth twitched.
The answer was, of course, no.
Not now.
Even back then …
There was only one person …
Yet, he had personally pushed that person away from his side …
He had pushed her to the person he hated the most!
Thinking about this, Snape felt as if a knife was piercing through his heart.
Now, there was only a feeling of regret spreading in his heart.
Dumbledore continued.
"Feelings are mutual."
"If you don't like other people, then what about you?"
"If you only hated them."
"Then what others will return to you is only the same feeling of disgust …"
Snape felt as if his lips were about to bleed.
If he hadn't said that word back then …
If he hadn't said that word out loud, he wouldn't have brought that malice to Lily.
Then Lily wouldn't have completely cut off her feelings for him in return …
Then, would things have continued to develop in that way?
Maybe … it would have still become like that …
Ever since he joined those people and started experimenting with black magic.
Lily had already gotten further and further away from him.
Dumbledore saw that Snape was still silent.
He stood up from his chair.
Then he walked to the desk.
"Go apologize, Severus."
"What?!" Snape frowned.
"Go and apologise to those children that you despised …"
"I … won't go!"
"Don't worry about embarrassing yourself, Severus."
"Because I'll go with you."
"I'll apologize to them first."
"Because you're the professor I recruited."
"And all these years, I didn't notice anything strange about you."
"Strictly speaking.
My mistake is much bigger than yours. "
Snape looked at Dumbledore in shock.
"You … Do you really have to do this?"
"You could have just fired me!"
Dumbledore walked past him.
He said softly, "Really?
Fired and left Hogwarts … "
"Then … he exposed Lili's child to that person …"
Snape turned around abruptly.
He stared at Dumbledore.
At this moment, Dumbledore had already walked to the door.
"So … Are you coming with me?
Or … Are you going to leave Hogwarts now? "
Snape's face was dark.
Suddenly, he flung his black cloak.
He quickly walked past Dumbledore.
"Go!"
During lunch.
Because it was Sunday.
Therefore, there were a lot of people.
Blake also left the Room of Everything with Cassandra and the others.
They arrived at the auditorium.
Then, the three of them went their separate ways.
They went to the long tables of their respective academies to eat.
“ Blake!
Here! "
Cedric waved his hand.
Blake put the book in his pocket.
Then, he walked over quickly.
Cedric saw Blake walking over.
He hurriedly said with great interest, "I heard …"
"Yes, I have a phoenix." Blake interrupted Cedric's question.
"B......"
"She likes to eat fresh fish. She doesn't breathe fire," Blake continued.
"Uh … Can I …."
"Not now. Dumbledore doesn't allow me to summon her in the auditorium," Blake answered.
"Then, can you …"
"You can't tell us where he came from, Cedric … Professor Dumbledore forbids it," Blake interrupted again.
Cedric looked at Blake, speechless.
"I … You … How did you know what I was going to ask …"
"Experience … Cedric."
"Ever since I knew you were a gossipy guy, I was prepared."
"I think you misunderstood me, Blake."
"Then did I answer what you wanted to ask?"
Yes.
"Then I didn't make a mistake."
"F * ck!
It's not fun to talk like this. "Cedric was furious.
"Because it's not fun to talk while eating, especially when you took the opportunity to take away all my pudding!"
"Good food belongs to the best!"
"Cedric!
Old thief!
Give me back my pudding! "
Hannah said timidly, "Don't fight anymore … I still have more.
Just as the two of them were fighting.
In the faculty seats.
Dumbledore and Snape appeared at the same time.
Soon, all the little adepts in the hall noticed this.
The noisy auditorium gradually quieted down.
At the same time.
The other professors in the faculty seats also looked at the two of them.
Snape could be said to have disappeared after that incident.
He didn't appear in front of everyone again.
This was the first time he appeared in public in two days.
Ronald whispered to Harry, "Do you think Dumbledore will decide to fire him?"
"That would be the best!" Harry said sincerely.
"I think it's very possible!
After such a big incident, so many people in the school hate Snape.
Hermione looked at the two of them with disdain.
She said helplessly, "Can't you think with your brains?"
Asking for fresh flowers …
"Even if Professor Dumbledore wants to fire Snape, he won't announce it in front of everyone.
"If Snape knows that he's going to be fired, why would he appear in front of everyone?
"Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
Ronald and Harry stared at Hermione.
Although he knew in his heart that she was right.
But the way she spoke … Why couldn't they like it?
"I just thought she was cute for two days …" Harry complained.
At this moment.
Dumbledore coughed twice.
Then, he pulled out his wand and pointed it at his throat.
"Everyone, quiet down!"
His loud voice silenced the noisy auditorium.
"Sorry for disturbing everyone's meal.
But there are some things that I have to explain to everyone.
Dumbledore looked around the auditorium.
Then, he continued.
"In the past, it was because of my negligence.
"I neglected the way the professors treated the students.
"As a result, many students were hurt."
"As the principal, I have a lot of responsibility for this.
"Now, I'd like to apologize to these children."
Dumbledore then bowed in the direction of the Auditorium.
In the auditorium.
Many of the young wizards were surprised.
They didn't expect Professor Dumbledore to apologize first.
Then, Dumbledore straightened his back and continued.
"I promise that from today onwards, I'll pay attention to the teaching methods of every professor.
"I'll put an end to the unfair treatment of students, targeting, insulting, and so on … bullying of students by professors!"
As soon as Dumbledore finished his sentence.
The auditorium was filled with applause.
Dumbledore raised his hand and pressed it down.
When everyone's applause died down, he continued.
He continued, "Children, I think your Professor Snape has something to say to you.
As he spoke, Dumbledore stepped aside.
He looked at Snape.
The corner of Snape's mouth twitched.
He took a step forward.
He looked at the countless pairs of eyes in front of him.
Everyone was looking at him quietly.
Snape opened his mouth and closed it again …
This was really too difficult for him.
Then, he looked at the countless pairs of eyes.
He saw a pair of familiar eyes.
At this moment, he felt a trace of courage in his body.
"Here … I would like to express … my sincere apologies to those … students whom I have … treated unfairly, or … insulted … in the past." Two paused for a moment, then continued, "Here … I sincerely apologize."
Snape's words came out in a staccato manner.
He stuttered even more than Professor Quirrell.
"I … promise … in the future … classes, I won't … make such a mistake again.
After Snape finished his sentence.
He glanced at Dumbledore and then at the students who were still silent.
Then, he turned around and left the auditorium …
Dumbledore glanced at his back.
Dumbledore's of's's eyes.
To a certain extent …
He couldn't leave Snape.
He needed Snape was at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore turned his head and said, "That's right.
"Everyone heard Professor Snape's apology just now."
"I hope you can give Professor Snape a chance."
"I will supervise him as well."
"Strive for a fair and harmonious learning environment for everyone …"
At the long Hufflepuff table.
Blake rubbed his stomach in satisfaction.
He had already taken advantage of Cedric's shocked look at Snape's apology.
He finished all the pudding in front of him.
What was so good about Snape's apology?
Desserts were better!
Because he knew from the beginning.
Snape would never leave Hogwarts.
Dumbledore needed someone familiar with Voldemort to keep an eye on him!
The other professors couldn't do it.
Only Snape was suitable!
So, Snape couldn't leave Hogwarts.
And if Snape didn't want to leave Hogwarts …
He had to cover up this matter as soon as possible.
Apologize in public and seek everyone's forgiveness.
That was the simplest way.
Dumbledore apologized in order to convince Snape.
He even apologized personally.
Snape had no reason to refuse.
And for Harry's safety, he wouldn't refuse.
He had to stay at Hogwarts to protect Harry.
And the students had already apologized when they saw Snape.
Also, the headmaster and Snape had expressed and promised …
This kind of situation would never happen again.
So, what else could they say?
This matter could be considered to have come to an end.
But Neville, Harry, and the others would have a much better time in the future.
"Ah!
Blake!
You sneaked an attack!
My pudding! "
"That's my pudding door!"
