Professor Snape's Public Apology!

That night, Blake stayed in the Room of Requirements as usual. And just because he didn't have the effect of the Elixir of Fortune, he fell asleep in the middle of the night until the next morning.

Cassandra and Hermione came to the Room of Requirements at the same time. They wanted to verify a rumour they heard about 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 make 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."

Cassandra 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. These were Gold treasure chests! This proved that his luck didn't worsen because of the Elixir of Fortune.

Cassandra and Hermione opened their mouths in shock. They didn't close them for a long time.

"You, you, you … you really have a Phoenix!"

Even Cassandra couldn't maintain her ladylike composure. It was just 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 it was a very special Ice Phoenix! If Cassandra remembered correctly. This should be the first Ice Phoenix to appear in the world!

"Can … can I touch it?"

"It's a 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. It came from the east. By the way, you can feed her. You can start cultivating your relationship. Maybe then she'll let you touch her."

Blake took out a bucket of fresh fish. Then he gestured to the two of them to feed Phoenix. The two girls happily took the buckets. They 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.

As the three were busy in the Room of Requirements, Dumbledore was with Professor Snape in his office.

"Have you decided? Dumbledore?"

Snape stood in front of Dumbledore with an expressionless face.

Dumbledore sighed. "What do you want me to decide?"

Professor 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. It was when he became a professor at Hogwarts.

"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 between him and 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!"
