"Harry, are you really not going?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"I think it's better not to go."

"But if it happens---"

"It's not going to happen, Hermione. Just trust me." Harry said before being tugged on his sleeve by Ron.

Went in and hugged Harry with concern. "I hope there's nothing wrong with you."

"Thanks Ron, I'll try."

“You have to take care not to hurt yourself again. Do not go outside and --- "

"Okay, I promise. Let's all go home." Harry said and walked over to hug his best friend again. before waving goodbye at the train door

The war is over. But the Death Eaters kept on coming. That caused Harry to come to Hogwarts on the orders of Dumbledore.

While on a long semester break As for the various sleeping places, Dumbledore said that preparations have already been made for the 100% class.

He slowly walked back to the school, thinking about the events that had happened since he had arrived at Hogwarts. When he met

That man, the man who hated him. The man who scolded him The man who protected him

Professor Severus Snape...

Harry wanted to laugh at the idea of ​​childhood. When he only hated the young professor. Waiting to argue in class

Until finally points were deducted and quarantined. He really missed that time. happy time But it's already too late....

He's always been in pain. All the time the professor died I've always blamed myself for why it wasn't him who died.

I'm sorry that I did something bad. And it was even more painful to know the truth when seeing the memories.

Sad that no matter what, the professor will still love his mother. Until my last breath

I regret that I realized how I felt about the professor so late. But not in time...

Harry used his hand to wipe away the tears that were slowly falling on their own. Trying to hold back the tears that flowed

while looking down at his mother's necklace A necklace that Severus hoped to give his mother as an apology....

"Harry, are you alright?" Dumbledore asked worriedly. "She looks strangely disoriented."

"It's nothing, Professor," Harry shook his head and smiled. But that made Doubledore know what Harry was thinking.

"Harry, even if you're sad or blame yourself, it won't bring him back," Dumbledore said with concern. The young man in front of him was truly a pitiful child. Had to carry a great burden from birth

Losing all the happiness of childhood Join us in the present day of love...

"I think I should tell you where the mirror is," said Dumbledore. Before telling you where the Mirror of Erised is hidden

Hoping that Harry would stop grieving over Severus' passing. Including paying back the favor that Harry made him conscious while finding the ring to revive. Therefore, he hoped that what he did would be beneficial to Harry.

"Why did the professor tell me?"

"I hope what you see in the mirror will help you feel more comfortable."

"Thank you, Professor," Harry said, standing up and embracing the old man. He was very grateful to see his face again.

at midnight Without forgetting to put on the invisibility cloak, Harry went to the place that Dumbledore had mentioned. After reaching the mirror The young man removed the covering from the glass. And the image in the mirror represented what Harry wanted most.

Professor Severus Snape....

The image that appeared was a young man smiling at Harry. It was a light smile, but it was filled with happiness.

“Professor, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry," Harry said, sobbing his apologies.

Every apology sentence is filled with pain. The tears that Harry had been holding back all this time flowed out as the high walls crumbled into the sand. The wall he built to show everyone he was strong.

The young professor in the mirror stood and watched the scene. He sat down with his back pressed against the boy's back.

Then acted like he was listening to every apology. And it kept happening like this every night. Harry often came to sit and cry and apologize for everything. Sometimes I hold a lily and place it in front of the mirror. Sometimes he brought the necklace to look at and play with while sobbing.

It was like this every night for a full month. Doubledore, who was watching over the events, couldn't stand seeing the young boy cry every night. He hoped it would free Harry from his guilt. It only caused Harry more pain.

Until the next morning....

"Harry, I think I need to talk."

"What is it, Professor?"

“I would like you to say goodbye to Severus tonight for the last time. Then I'll hide the mirror in a place where no one can find it," Doubledore said quietly.

Harry made a sad face. It's not a sad face that calls for pity. But instead, it was a face that showed the departure and emphasized that the man was dead....

"I'll try," Harry said before making his way to his secret place under the willow tree. He likes to sit and read while thinking of the other person who used to sit here. A gentle breeze blew as if hoping to comfort him. Before Harry fell asleep....

In the dream, Harry saw himself sitting under a willow tree with Professor Snape beside him reading a book. The two looked at each other before Harry began to vent and apologize to the other.

“I have always regretted it. Waiting to blame various reasons for the professor's death on me. Have you ever thought about committing suicide because you couldn't stand your departure? My current life is like dying. No matter what, my stigma is that the professor left.

I want to apologize for everything I did in the past. I'm sorry I'm stupid, cocky, and arrogant like my father," Harry said, laughing softly. “And thank you for everything that has passed. Thank you for taking care of me, caring for me, and thank you for making me I love the professor Even though I can't love you."

Harry said, looking sad. But a strong hand suddenly grabbed his face and pressed their foreheads together. Before tears flowed from both of them at the same time. The times we spent together whether we were happy or not He wanted it to be like this forever.

"Potter"

"Thank you for loving me," Severus said. The leaves began to fall as if it was a sign that their time was almost up. But both of them remained like that. Before changing to hugging everything goodbye Until time is running out

"Thank you for loving me."

"Always..."

After the conversation ended Everything disappeared Only memories are left.

It is a happy and painful memory at the same time.

after waking up Without having to lie again, Harry told Dumbledore to hide the mirror.

"You sure thought it through, Harry."

"Good idea," Harry said with a smile that was free of worry. That caused the old man to hide the mirror so that no one would see it again....

Three years later....

Harry walked towards the cemetery with a lily. In order to meet him again....

Severus Snape

"Hello Professor... Today I went to Hogwarts too. Professor McGanagal wants me to become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. What subject does the professor want to teach?"

Harry was silent for a moment before placing a white lily in front of the grave. White flowers that mean "I feel good knowing you."

next to a doe-shaped necklace He made another one in hopes that one day One day I'll see the professor wearing it, even if that day never comes.

"Thank you for everything,and goodbye my almost  lover...."

Hello everyone who came to read. This story might be a little strange because Dumbledore didn't die. And the meaning of the real lily flower can also mean friends. But what I want to convey is the acquaintance of the two people. designed to hate each other in the first place But I feel sad when I leave. Like people who are close to each other

I don't know if the story will be interesting or not. Just released a little of my thoughts that I feel bad about through this novel. Thank you to everyone who came to read.
