Chapter 516
The arrival of Phineas was completely unexpected by Jon. He knew too well what kind of stimulation this old headmaster could not stand. Apart from the life and death of Sirius·Black, this old headmaster was the most What he cares about is his face in front of Severus Snape.
"I didn’t say anything, Black, your headmaster, don’t worry."
The answer was Phineas flustered and exasperated: "If I come later, maybe you will pay How can you slander me?"
I'm so old and still so uncomfortable, no wonder Sirius thinks you are unreliable.
Jon didn't say anything, but his face clearly showed this meaning, which naturally made Phineas even more angry.
Then he left.
"Why do you have to stir his emotions when you are okay, this time you are angry, and you have to be here for a while."
"Isn't that just right? He No, Lockhart can just come here. I will leave soon, but the replacement for Lockhart has not been found yet."
Jon said casually: "Your permanent curing How is potion doing?"
"It's almost there, now it’s almost time to take the potion’s blood and Lockhart’s blood."
Snape wrote the one in front of him The list of potion was folded in half and handed over to Jon, and the frame that Jon had given him before was destroyed. The piece of drawing paper in it naturally disappeared, and the mark was returned to the soul in the portrait of Phineas.
"Don’t worry too much about the choice of candidates. I have already told the Grindelwald teacher that when he comes back, he will bring back a suitable person and let Lockhart cultivate his memory. Anyway, this A scene will last until the end of the school year, after which Lockhart can change his face and live with his new identity."
"You think a lot, but you are thinking about others. After so much, do you still have time to think about your own business?"
Snape rarely showed such a concern for a certain matter, except for the fact that he was concerned about Lily Potter who was killed by Voldemort. At the time, that was an accident.
"Don’t worry, I don’t have so many things on my own. After all, I have a full budget and I always need to solve the biggest problem before me. Otherwise, it’s meaningless to think about other things.
And I just want to leave a little clue before I leave. If by any chance I can’t come back...it’s likely that I won’t come back, I have to leave something in Hogwarts, otherwise those who trust me Students and professors, aren’t they disappointed?"
"Dumbledore may be the only one who really expects you, but you have to know that as a Legendary wizard, what he thinks is far More than you."
Snape paused, holding the wand and setting a barrier around them.
"Are you really going to release Black from Azkaban?"
His voice is a bit heavy, and Jon knows what it means.
"I know something about your past. For you, Sirius may not be a good person, but as we are in this situation, when we judge a person, we never His quality is standard."
Jon's words were a little cryptic, but that didn't prevent Snape from hearing what he really meant.
Jon is such a person, and Dumbledore is such a person.
They don’t care whether a person is good or bad. They only care if the person is useful to them. If the person is really useful, even if he is a bad person commiting any imaginable misdeed, he can do things. of.
When Dumbledore accepted himself, he never thought that he was once a dark wizard.
"Actually, I have never tried to tell you these things, some things related to your past, I shouldn’t have said it, and because of my age and identity, it’s not suitable for me to say this to you. Words.
But now, I don’t have so many scruples. Regarding the length of the remaining life, maybe I am not as long as you, so some things are just right to say at this time.
Professor Snape, you are a good person.
I believe you are tired of hearing this sentence, maybe it's with me, maybe it's somewhere you don't want to mention it now, but you still have it in your heart It’s like the picture on your table."
Qiao Wen glanced at the picture Snape held on the table. Whose face is in that picture, although he I have never seen it before, but I know it clearly in my heart.
Sometimes this thing about love is really helpful. Jon doesn't think that this thing is good for human beings, but there are many people who suffer from its limitations.
These people are willing to trouble themselves with the trivial matter of love, and Jon can't help it. Fortunately, Snape is not a person who is completely obsessed with emotions. He still has room for change.
"The past has passed. Although I have no qualifications to persuade you to forgive them, at least I hope you can let go. Child’s good and evil are always pure. You may hate each other. But James is dead, and there is only the boy who hates you but has to take care of him, and apart from James, do you and the rest of the people really have that much hatred?"
The answer to this question is obviously no. The grievances between Snape and Sirius and the others are actually mainly because of James Potter.
The hostility between men is always unfathomable mystery, for women, for honor, for their different positions, Jon thinks these all are very boring things, but his thoughts are obviously in this environment Some are too unique.
"You’re right, it’s true, I really don’t hate them that much."
Snape said dumbly. Some things will gradually change over time. Diluted by time, the hatred that felt absolutely irreconcilable at the time, in fact, it seems that way now.
This is not forgiveness. Of course, it is not forgiveness. Forgiving them is something Snape can’t do in his life, but Jon is right. Some things fade away over time. That’s not forgiveness. , But forget it.
He doesn't want to care about these anymore.
Living in the past is a very painful thing, especially in the past, there are people who can make him miserable, and in the present life there are constantly reminding him of the painful past. Things, if he can't let go of these, his life will continue to suffer like this.
"Lockhart...is it because you made the decision to change yourself?"
"What do you say about the matter between the two of us? A coincidence, at that time I just wanted him to be my teacher, and I just ran into him. He wanted to change his situation at the time. You know it’s very tiring to live hypocritically."
Jon made no secret of it. Some of the intersections between himself and Lockhart, he felt that there was no need to conceal it. Lockhart was like a nail he placed next to Snape, always using that hard work state to remind Snape that he might be able to change his own. Life, usher in a new day again.
"But after the change, will life really be a lot better?"
"I don’t think it’s necessary, but if it doesn’t change, life will still be as painful, since So, why not try to change it?"
