Snape spent the night thinking in his office before he finally figured out why Sally was angry. In fact, she has always shown insecurity, and she is always a little timid in front of him. She is a person who can threaten people with a knife at her aunt's house, but she is often well-behaved like a cat in front of him.

After clearing his mind, he always wanted to talk to Sally, but she seemed to have made up her mind not to talk to him, and whenever he wanted to talk about something more personal, she always found a good reason to run away.

But Snape was the Headmaster after all, and after her last Potions class on Friday, she rarely reprimanded her for her Potions homework and left her in the Potions classroom.

"At least two steps are missing. Snape looked at Sally and said solemnly, "Not to mention the steps you did wrong, what are you thinking?"

"Didn't think about anything, Professor. Sally said, in a flat tone, as she had always done to him all these days, steady and without the slightest emotion.

The air fell silent, Snape looking at Sally, who stared at the cauldron in front of her. For the first time, Snape felt that raising a child was an extremely difficult thing to do, especially since you were reluctant to beat and scold this child. So he was patient.

"Shall we talk?"

Maybe it was the rare softness of Snape's tone, or maybe Sally wanted to know what he had been trying to say to her all these days, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't find a reason to leave.

"First of all, I'm sorry that I didn't fully fulfill my responsibilities as your guardian and put you in danger several times. Secondly, perhaps it's my personality that makes it rare for us to have this kind of face-to-face conversation. Well, not once. Snape was unusually nervous, he rarely did such a thing, and he would rather face a poisonous curse now than rack his brain about what he had never said before.

"Anyway. He got up, as if giving up and preparing to leave, "I've never disliked you, Sally, it's been the happiest thing I've ever had to be your godfather in the last ten years." After saying that, he opened the door in a bit of a panic

"But you... Trying to send me away. Sally spoke. "James said that the school only had three days off at Christmas, and the rest of the time, I couldn't leave there at any time. There are no owls there, nothing. Sally's tone choked up.

"It's the choice. Snape closed the door that had been opened, and said, "I don't deny that the rules of Richurus are in some ways cruel or even immoral to underage children. But on the other hand, you will find that you don't have time to worry about us at all, there is too much unknown knowledge there, and everything you want to know can be answered there. Don't look at me in disbelief, well, Professor Dumbledore and I both went there for a while. ”

"Have you been to Dumbledore and you?" said Sally, surprised, "but... ”

"Of course not when I was in school. Snape said, "Dumbledore probably graduated about two years ago, received an invitation, exchanged for a year, and came back to become a Gryffindor teacher. When I was in my twenties, I communicated for half a year. This is also one of the reasons why I think you can't pass up this opportunity, I've experienced it, and I know how important and precious it is for wizards. They sent you an invitation and didn't go into details, which shows that you have infinite possibilities, and that you are so young, both in terms of learning ability and memory ability, are much stronger than we were back then. So, do you see what I mean?"

"Anyway, you didn't drive me away because you disliked me and hated me. Sally seems to have only understood this truth, "but for my own good." ”

"If I had just said so much, you had only grasped such a point. Snape reverted to his usual tone. "So be it, I'm not going to persuade you. ”

"Go, go, go. Sally trotted over and hugged Professor Snape and jumped. "As long as you don't hate me, I'll do whatever I want. ”

Snape indifferently pulled away Sally, who was holding him, opened the door and walked out, he heard Sally shouting loudly from behind him for him to wait for her in the office, and she went to get the application.

"I don't know how James could have taken a fancy to such a guy with a weak head. Snape thought, but the corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked up a faint smile.

When Sally finished signing with Professor Snape, only to find that Professor Dumbledore was not in the office and was said to be back on Monday, Snape suggested that she contact James first, as it might take some time to go to Leechurus to pick up someone from there.

Sally wrote a letter for Les to send out, and it was the weekend, and if she was about to leave, it would be necessary to say goodbye to a few friends.

"What? you're going to another school?" Harry said in surprise in the common teacher's room, "and it's all closed, no holidays, no, why don't you even have owls, Professor Dumbledore agrees?"

"He hasn't signed it yet. Sally said, "But Professor Snape says they've already discussed it." ”

"I can't believe it, I remember this school, they were mysterious, I always thought it was just a legend. Ron said in surprise. "Legend has it that there are either gods or ghosts. ”

"It's just a school, Ron. "Compared to Ron, Hermione was obviously much calmer and more sensible.

"No, it's a school with no restrictions, I've heard my dad talk about it, it's not regulated by any treaty, it's a place where textbooks about forbidden arts and stuff are everywhere, and of course, black magic. The more Ron spoke, the more incredulous it became: "Are you really sure you've been invited?"

"Although the place you are talking about is not quite like the place I know ... Sally hesitated, "But the name is the same." ”

"You're going to be strong. Ron affirmed. "I can't even imagine how strong you can become. ”

"Uh... Thank you. Sally said with a weak heart.

"I don't want you to go. Harry spoke suddenly, and the air fell silent. Hermione picked up Ron with great discernment and walked out, giving up space to the Potter siblings.

"Why?" Sally asked, though she had guessed a little.

"Dark magic, forbidden arts, this is the most important thing you should avoid, have you forgotten what Voldemort said to you when you met him twice? Harry said with some excitement.

"Oh, I'm sure there's not just black magic and forbidden arts. Sally said, "Actually, if I'm really interested in these things, I can learn about them at Hogwarts as well." Harry, that's not a reason. ”

"But... Harry wanted to say something, he always felt that it was wrong, but he couldn't.

"It's only two years. Sally said, "I only have two years of communication with Professor Snape tentatively, and those two years won't change mine, Harry, and we can all spend Christmas together." ”

The air was silent for a long time before Harry said leisurely, "Okay, maybe I'm overthinking. ”

"You must be overthinking. Sally said unconcernedly.

Later in the evening, she saw Fred and George again, and they raised their hands in approval of her going to Laceurus, which Sally had expected. She had been hesitant to tell Malfoy that she didn't want Pansy to know, but the two of them were always together like conjoined babies.

After class on Monday afternoon, she arrived at Dumbledore's office with the application form.

"Come in. As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the door of the statue opened, and Sally walked in to see Dumbledore feeding Fawkes.

"Sally. Dumbledore laughed, "Forgive me for not being able to sit down in a chair." ”

After Sally brought a chair from the side and sat down, Dumbledore finished feeding Fawkes. Sally couldn't help but smile when she saw Fawkes.

"My savior. She said.

"yes, so for your sake, I fed it two more thighs of black-boned chicken. Dumbledore smiled and wiped his hands clean and sat down across a table.

"So, you think about it?" said Dumbledore directly, and Sally was not surprised, Snape had told her that Dumbledore already knew. She handed over the application, "Yes, tentatively for two years. ”

"It's going to be a very fulfilling two years. Dumbledore looked at her application form and said, "Maybe you'll learn something that no one else can learn in a lifetime." ”

"I hope so. Sally said, finding that many people seemed to mythologize it.

Dumbledore didn't care about Sally's disbelief, he took out a pen made of blue peacock feathers and filled in his name where he had turned out the headmaster's name. He then handed the application back to Sally, who thanked her and prepared to leave, and as soon as she stood up, she heard Dumbledore say something behind her.

"Keep it to heart, okay? Sally, don't make me regret making this decision. ”

Sally didn't understand what he meant, but she said, "I'll do my best, Professor." ”

Leaving Dumbledore's office, she subconsciously wanted to go to Professor Snape and open the door to the Potions office, only to find that there was no one inside.

"Maybe in a dark room. She thought, and walked into the dark room, which was still a simple furnishing, except for a large crucible, which contained a lot of silvery-white liquid and white smoke.

"Why don't you do experiments in the office, isn't this a place to rest?" Sally couldn't understand Snape's thoughts. "Anyway, why I've never seen this thing before. ”

Never mess with anything in the Potions professor's office. This is the truth that Sally has learned from eating nowhere and she swears she just wanted to see it, and the application in her hand almost fell to the ground because she was so fascinated by it, and she just bent down to pick it up when she accidentally touched a little potion.

She didn't know that it was called the Meditation Basin, which Snape had borrowed from Dumbledore to find out why Sally was angry. And when Sally accidentally spied on her, it was when Snape put all the memories about her in.

Isn't it good for a person to know too many things? Sally didn't know, but if she had a choice, she would rather not know at all.

But she knew.
