"Severus do you want to read this chapter?" Albus Dumbledore asked, glancing at the dour potions master who was giving him an unamused glare. "I think it would be quite fitting."He adds amused.

"Fine." Severus drawls, summoning the book wordlessly to himself, opening it with a scowl. While he was on better terms with 'the Potter Brat' as he dubbed Cordelia and the entire family; he didn't like being reminded of these instances.

"Why is Severus so upset?" Lily questions, glancing at Remus and Sirius since they had been near Hogwarts during Cordelia's third year. Remus smirks and Sirius snorts.

"You'll see," Remus assures her, trying not to laugh and James starts to feel internally giddy; the face Remus was making reminded him of the time they pranked the Slytherin common room red and gold for a month, and every time they changed it back, it lasted longer.

Malfoy..... others.

"Not anymore." Cordelia glances at him with a small frown, and Severus nods in agreement. He had been blinded by his godson and some of the housemates; but not anymore. He vowed not to be like Minerva McGonagall and the Mauraders with their favoritism. He did though, he favored his Slytherins and didn't give points to anyone else which wasn't right and he vowed to be better.

"Correct, it needs to be fairer." Severus agrees.

They.....sizes.

"I know that you shouldn't have to chop his roots but knowing how Snape was, you should've done them as pristine as possible." Bill slightly scolds his youngest brother, giving him a raised eyebrow.

"I know, my anger got in the way." Ron's ears turn red in embarrassment. He had anger issues like Cordelia and they both struggled to work through them.

"I had to make sure the knife didn't go in Draco," Cordelia mumbled to Blaise, who looked at her amused.

"Ron did look particularly upset, your eyes were glowing that day love," Blaise says.

"Professor.... her.

"Seriously Severus?" Lily rolls her eyes annoyed at her brother in all but blood. Severus gives her a look.

"Lily we can't change the past," He drawls, slightly annoyed at the fact he's being treated like the villain again. Regulus sighs, squeezing his hand reassuringly, knowing how much this bothered Severus.

Cordelia.... fired. I got hurt more than you Malfoy." She glares at her cousin, annoyed by how much of an ass he was being.

"Tell us how you really feel." Tonks snorts with a laugh. "I want a book of your thoughts." She adds with a small laugh.

"You mean like 7 books about my Hogwarts years." Cordelia deadpans, adjusting herself to not lean on Blaise, giving her cousin a disbelieving look.

"Oh right." Tonks blushes, her hair turning yellow in embarrassment. "I can't believe I said something that dense."

"Don't worry love, I blame the fact Sirius is your cousin." Andromeda mock-whispers to her daughter causing Sirius to look offended while everyone else laughs loudly.

"Is that any way to talk to the Head of your family?" Sirius drawls, sounding similar to Lucius Malfoy which makes most people shiver.

"Oh hush up Sirius." Andromeda retorts, laughing at her cousin.

"Well.... tears.

"Mr.Longbottom; I owe you an apology." Severus pauses the reading, casting the book to the side. "You are not a thick-skulled young man or anything that I've said," He continues, glancing at Neville; ignoring Lily and James' glares at the fact he treated their godson so poorly. "I am sorry to have feared you; I may be a strict teacher but calling you an idiot or thick-skulled was a line that I have crossed many times but shouldn't have crossed it at all." Severus apologizes to Neville who was blushing and embarrassed but standing his ground.
