Under Piaget's repeated insistence, Dumbledore temporarily agreed to his approach, but did not do exactly what Piaget said.

Aside from the fact that Gryffindor College points were deducted by 100, Dumbledore also agreed with Potter and Black to apologize to Severus, and promised not to target Severus in the future.

Dumbledore made minor changes to Piaget's handling opinions, reducing the severity of punishment a lot.

James Porter's labor service was stipulated for one month, during which he was supervised by Professor McGonagall, and it was decided whether to extend the term based on his performance.The matter of copying the school rules was not left behind. If Potter could memorize the rules, he might be able to behave a lot better.

Sirius Black was suspended from school for a week, and he had to write to Professor McGonagall every day during this week, telling him what he had done at home and what he had learned.Professor McGonagall will judge Sirius Black's performance based on Sirius Black's letter and communication with parents, and then decide whether to extend the suspension period.

Dumbledore's compromised approach made Professor McGonagall much more acceptable, and he quickly notified the parents of several students, especially Black.

Walburga Black, who received the letter, could not accept that his child would be suspended from school, just because he used a little black magic on a mixed-race student.

Judging from the situation of the Black family, it is difficult for those dark wizards to teach Sirius Black what is the correct attitude towards black magic. Suspending school and allowing Sirius Black to be educated at home may not have much effect.

Piaget didn't really want the Black family to teach Sirius Black anything, but wanted him to reflect on himself.

Sirius Black's family environment does not lack strict discipline, but I am afraid that the rules of the Black family are different from what ordinary people think, that's why Sirius was taught like this.

Piaget has come into contact with Walburga and Orion, they are proud of the tradition of black magic, torture, pain and distortion, decent and pure-blood pride outside, separating Blake from ordinary wizarding families.But Sirius Black's thinking is different from other Blacks, so let him get in touch with Walburga Black and the others at such a moment, and some obvious reasons will impress him even more.

Regardless of whether the Black family accepted it or not, after Sirius and James formally apologized to Severus and promised not to do such a thing in the future, the Black family would take Sirius away first.

It was Alphard Black, Sirius Black's uncle, and it was impossible for Walburga to appear in person on such an embarrassing occasion.

Not many people saw Sirius Black being taken, and Severus was among them.

James Potter looked at Severus with disgust in his eyes. Even if he apologized now and promised not to target Severus again, he would still resent Severus before he really realized his mistake. He and Sirius fell into the "root" of such a severe punishment - Severus.

Before Professor McGonagall could say anything, James Potter left the headmaster's office.

In the end, only Severus and Dumbledore were left here.

Fireworks were already lit in the fireplace, and the principal's office became very warm.The burning flame pushed the shadows in the house to shake, and the small crackling sound made this place feel a bit like home.

Dumbledore was standing in front of the fireplace, very close to Severus.His brows were downcast, and his blue eyes were full of fatigue.

"Do you want to rest?" Severus actually didn't really care how to deal with this matter, and Piaget's way of handling it only temporarily eased the conflict.But some things are hidden in the bottom of my heart, whether I recognize a person, whether the knot of disgust can be untied, relying on external strong force cannot do it.

Dumbledore said to Severus, "You're old and your energy isn't what it used to be. Sit down with me and talk, Severus."

Severus didn't know what Dumbledore was trying to say by keeping him, but he sat down with Dumbledore anyway and drank the honey water Dumbledore gave him.

"A wizard's promise is an oath, and you must keep it when you say it. After you got their promise, you didn't seem to care. I thought you would be happier." Dumbledore could see that none of the three children The oath is true.

Holding a cup of warm tea, Severus said, "There's nothing to be happy about."

The sweetness of the honey water in the cup was just right, and Severus thought he would brush his teeth a little longer to clean his mouth when he returned to the dormitory later.

"It's really not something to be happy about. But it would be better if you could feel a little more relaxed." Dumbledore knew very well how Severus would feel when he encountered such a thing.He was targeted for no reason, and even almost lost his life, but the punishment for the person who targeted him was not serious, so it's hard to feel fair no matter how you think about it.

Severus felt the water vapor in his eyes, and moved the cup a little away: "Professor Piaget and you made a decision to deal with it, I have no objection. Thank you for taking care of me. For other people, I can't think of myself for the time being." What emotions should there be?"

"Piaget's idea is very good, but it is unreasonable-he is very good to students, the class is also very interesting, and his personality is also very good, but he is biased in dealing with punishment.

"I understand his thoughts very well. He hopes to treat you all fairly. You have been seriously injured and there is nothing serious about your body. But I don't think everyone has this experience of facing the fear of death. It's just a buckle. Distribution and labor services are indeed not enough." Dumbledore actually did not like the word punishment, "but such strict punishments often cannot achieve the best results."

"Then if you lighten the punishment, will they really think that they did something wrong? Can they know that the responsibility for all this lies with themselves?" Severus held the cup tightly with his hand.

Dumbledore sighed and said: "Young people will always make mistakes. What teachers can do is to guide. We regulate the behavior of students, and understand and support the personality of students. We plant the right seeds and expect all students to be able to Understand and keep in mind, accompany them for a lifetime, and benefit them for a lifetime. However, their understanding of some things is always hindered by their current understanding, and they are trapped in their immediate emotions, so it is difficult to fully understand our approach."

Punishment is to make them understand their mistakes and truly repent.But students who are often punished will not think in the direction the professor hopes, but will get into another dead end.

"They made promises because you, Professor McGonagall, Professor Piaget and their parents told them to, not because they meant it.

"Since they didn't know from the bottom of their hearts that they did something wrong, they were punished. Under such circumstances, they would only blame me for their mistakes, and blame me for all their suffering and grievances. on, and the distaste against me will be even greater."

Dumbledore didn't change his expression when he saw Severus saying such words, and he knew that he really didn't care about the two children: "Prejudice and resentment are difficult knots to untie. Lucas dealt with it." The method is very serious, but we don't know whether this way of dealing with it will be effective. Sirius and James didn't clearly understand their fault, but in fact, after your broom lost control, they were very sorry, and even panicked. Too heavy a punishment turns guilt into hatred."

"What happens to them has nothing to do with me." Severus was actually calm when the broom was out of control.He was not surprised when he found out that Sirius Black and James Potter did it after he came down.At that time, he had already figured it out, if the professors let them go lightly, he would personally teach them a lesson.But after the professor dealt with it like this, he couldn't do anything to those two fools.In this case, Severus just wanted that these two people and himself should not have any intersections in the future.

Severus's downturned mouth and disgusted eyes all showed his dislike for Potter and Black.His performance was much more restrained than that of the two lion cubs, which was why it was more difficult for Dumbledore to see what Severus was thinking.

Knowing that Severus didn't want to talk about related topics, Dumbledore turned to think of another thing: "Duke's letter two days ago, apart from the usual greetings, he asked me at the end if I knew how many students you had in school. Make friends. You have been busy studying since the beginning of school, and it seems that except for Miss Evans and Lucius Malfoy, you have not established new friendships. Didn't Severus think about making more friends?"

"I want to get used to school life first, and then think about these things." Although it seems that he is really busy, in fact, he has almost figured out many people in Slytherin who are not much younger than him In some cases, making friends also needs to be screened.

"It seems that you have a plan." Dumbledore thought of Severus' almost harsh self-discipline. Severus did everything with a plan. If he didn't explicitly say that he didn't, then he would do it. But have a plan to do it later.

Severus nodded, confirming Dumbledore's guess.

Dumbledore kindly reminded: "In fact, sometimes you don't pay much attention to reason, and there will be some surprises waiting for you."

"But it's also easy to be disrupted and delay what should be done." Severus didn't dare to think about what he would become if he threw away his rationality and relied entirely on his emotions.

Dumbledore glanced at the time and realized that it was almost curfew. He got up and said, "It's a little too late now. I'll take you to the door of the Slytherin lounge."

"Thank you." Severus quickly put the glass away and got up. He still had to write a letter to Waldmont, and he would not be in time if he didn't go back.

Dumbledore sent Severus to the door of Slytherin, and after Severus said the password, he handed Severus a notebook and told him to use it properly.

……

Wardmont read Severus' letter and put it on the bedside, feeling in a strange state of mind.

Even if Severus hadn't said no to reply at the end of the letter, he didn't intend to reply right away.It was too late now, and a reply would disturb Severus' sleep.

Today is so late, Wardmont had expected it.He was not in Hogwarts, but it would not be difficult for him to know anything about Hogwarts.Knowing why, but he couldn't sleep without seeing the letter Severus had written.

Ever since Severus went to school, the house had become too big for him to bear - apparently he used to think it was nice to have a big and quiet house - and without Severus at night, it often made it difficult for him to sleep.He would correspond with Severus every night, controlling Severus' psychology from Severus' words, which would make him feel at ease.Today's letter came late, and his patience was gradually worn out during the waiting time, and he even wanted to go through the secret passage and enter Severus' dormitory to find him immediately.

The efficiency of writing letters is really too low, he should prepare the double-sided mirror earlier.He hadn't given Severus the two-way mirror before, because he thought writing a letter would be enough.But tonight's situation made him know that just writing letters, he couldn't see Severus' appearance, he couldn't hear Severus' voice, and he would be very anxious.

In the letter Severus said two things, the news about the Death Eaters in the morning papers, and Sirius Black's suspension from school for a week.Severus was very supportive of the former, and said some of his rough opinions, asking Wardmont to correct him, but he just passed on the latter.

But Waldmont didn't intend to let the Black family go, at least he had to make the Blacks who were still reserved kneel down in front of him.

Bellatrix has been doing well, but her family has been stubborn.Walburga and the others still kept in mind his downfall back then, as well as his possibly mixed-blood identity.If it weren't for the fact that being the heir of Slytherin made some flaws less important, they wouldn't even be willing to move closer.
