Chapter 64 Reconciliation
Snape was knocked back a few steps.
Lupin quickly supported him to prevent Snape from accidentally falling.
"I'm sorry, I was too selfish before. I didn't consider your situation. You can make friends with anyone you want. Please forgive me."
Hearing Lily's tearful words, Snape looked at Jiang Li in confusion, asking what was going on with his eyes.
Jiang Li coughed lightly and explained, "I just analyzed your situation in the academy with Lily, and she is like this."
"Sif, I just realized that I was so selfish. Can you please forgive me?"
Lily closed her eyes and spoke her mind, and when she opened them she met Lupin's eyes.
Lupin, who was supporting Snape's back, gave Lily an awkward smile.
Lily: "..."
Ahhh, why is Lupin here?
She tapped her toes on the ground in embarrassment.
Snape relaxed his body, remembered something, and said hesitantly: "Lily, I also want to say sorry to you. I said something unforgivable to you before."
Hearing this, Lily let go of his neck, looked at Snape in confusion and asked, "What did you say?"
"I……"
Snape closed his eyes and thought of that painful memory. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Lily with an apologetic look and said, "I was... very angry before. I was bullied in front of you and felt ashamed. I got so angry that I called you a mudblood."
Lily's expression changed instantly.
"You actually called me a mudblood. Wait...when were you ever bullied? How come I didn't know about it?"
Why didn't she remember this part? How could Sif be bullied when he was so strong?
"That happened a long time ago, probably... in my previous life."
Snape looked into Lily's eyes and said truthfully, "I have always regretted saying that and wanted to apologize to you, but I never had the chance until you died."
Lily thought Snape must have dreamed about these things, but looking at Snape's sad eyes, she felt as if these things had really happened.
"Lily, can you forgive me?" Snape looked at Lily and asked, his voice trembling so much that he didn't even notice it.
Lily thought about it seriously.
She looked at Snape and asked, "You really didn't mean to call me a mudblood?"
"No, I regret it." Snape said without hesitation.
"it is good."
After saying this, Lily seemed to have made up her mind. She rolled up her sleeves and punched Snape hard on the nose.
Lupin next to him was stunned, his mouth opened in shock.
Lily didn't hold back the force of her punch, and Lupin felt that Snape's nose bone was broken. He subconsciously touched his nose and felt the pain.
Lily looked at Snape seriously and said, "Since you didn't mean to say that, I also punched you. We are even now and we are still good friends.
Xifu, don't be sad, if I die, I hope you will be happy. "
Hearing this, Snape squatted down, covering his nose, avoiding everyone's gaze. The moment he lowered his head, his eyes were slightly red.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and every breath seemed to carry the weight of the world. The complex emotions in his heart mixed together, like an overwhelming tidal wave, leaving him speechless for a long time.
The apology that had not been spoken for many years was finally forgiven.
Look at Snape squatting on the ground for a long time without saying anything.
Lily felt a little guilty.
Maybe she had hit Sever too hard just now and hurt him.
"Sev, are you okay?" Lily asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Snape's voice was slightly hoarse. He wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes as if nothing had happened. He looked at Lily and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you for forgiving me."
Lily was slightly startled and felt that Snape's smile at this moment was as painful as crying.
She replied subconsciously: "Sif, we are friends. Even if you said something wrong, I will forgive you."
Hearing this, Snape thought of Lily in his previous life and his shoulders trembled slightly.
So, Lily had forgiven him a long time ago?
Jiang Li walked over, squatted down, patted Snape's back gently, and said softly: "Lily should also hope that you are happy."
Lily, who was standing next to him, heard this and immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "I hope Sif can always be happy."
Wet tears fell from between fingers and dripped onto the floor.
At this moment, Snape finally reconciled with his past self.
Jiang Li, who was squatting beside him, clearly watched every change of emotion on his face.
Watching the crystal tears from Snape's eyes sliding down his cheeks, she subconsciously caught the falling tears, her fingertips were slightly wet. Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, subconsciously covered her mouth, and her ears turned slightly red.
As expected of Severus... He looks so beautiful when he cries!
"Hahaha, Lily is indeed the one who made the slug cry with just one punch."
When James heard what Lupin said, he slapped the table and laughed.
"What a pity! If only I had been there, I would have really wanted to see Slug cry." James said with regret.
Lupin frowned and said, "I think Snape was really upset at the time. Don't tell anyone else about this, or he will be very angry."
"He cried in front of so many people, is he still afraid of what others will say about him?" James pouted.
"If Evans knew you told this to anyone, he would be angry." Sirius looked at James lazily and said, "Aren't you going to pursue her? And you're doing something that makes her unhappy."
James felt unhappy when this was mentioned.
"Why did you choose to make friends with that slug when there were so many people like you?"
James didn't like Snape from the first moment he saw him. He always felt that this guy's eyes were not pure when he looked at Lily. That slug must like Lily too!
"Actually, I think he's a pretty nice guy," Lupin said.
Hearing this, James immediately became unhappy and said, “Why are you still speaking for him?”
Sirius threw the Bludger model into the air, caught it and tossed it up again, looking at Lupin lazily and said, "Are you still being punished by Professor Malfoy for detention?"
"Professor Malfoy didn't give me detention. She asked me to come over after school to deal with potions and gave me one Sickle a day."
"Isike! She's so good at it. I think she's clearly insulting you."
James immediately jumped up and said to Lupin: "Don't go to her place anymore. I have more than one Sickle for candy a day."
Hearing this, Lupin felt a little uncomfortable.
It's a lot, after all, he only helped for a short time, but it was all earned through his own labor, not charity from others.
Although Hogwarts will provide financial assistance to some young wizards from poor families, other than academic problems, everything else is still very difficult.
Even his robes were the ones his father used when he was in school.
All other jobs in the school were done by house-elves, and there was no opportunity to make money.
Processing potion materials for Snape is his only part-time job that can make money at present.
He doesn't want to give up this part-time job.
"Lupin, did you hear what I said?"
Lupin just reacted and looked at James in confusion, "Did you just say anything?"
"We're going on a night tour tonight, do you want to join us?" James looked at Lupin with interest and said, "You've been sneaking out before, right?"
Sirius also said, "We have come back from night outings several times and have never seen you in bed. If you want to go out and play, you can come with us."
Lupin was afraid that they would find out something, so he had no choice but to agree to it.
Late at night, a group of people sneaked out of the dormitory.
Jiang Li and Snape were walking in the Forbidden Forest, with the moonlight shining on them.
"Everything has been resolved. Dumbledore said you only need to go to Slughorn to deal with the potion materials. You don't need to patrol the Forbidden Forest." Jiang Li said to Snape.
Slughorn was always very lenient to outstanding students. When Snape went to him to receive punishment, he might invite him to have afternoon tea together.
The magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest have been becoming more and more aggressive recently, and Hagrid discovered quite a few corpses of magical creatures while patrolling.
Jiang Li felt it was a bit troublesome and didn't want Snape to come over.
