Severus Snape smiled.
It became a topic of conversation among everyone, and it lasted for quite some time.
It also gradually changed how everyone viewed Severus Snape.
He no longer targeted any particular student.
He no longer targeted any particular House.
He seemed so gentle with everyone.
It was rather confusing!
Dumbledore went to Katelyle over this matter, hoping to learn more about Severus Snape's situation and prescribe the right remedy.
Clearly, Dumbledore believed that this version of Severus Snape was not normal.
Katelyle smiled and said, "Severus is enjoying a second spring in life. We should bless him, because he is willing to change himself for it."
"This is a very rare opportunity. We need to support him."
"Would you really be willing to watch him remain single for the rest of his life?"
After hearing Katelyle's words, Dumbledore fell silent for quite a while before unable to resist asking gossipy, "So, he has a woman he likes?"
"Isn't that what we want to see?" Katelyle said with a smile, holding a coffee as he sat at the bar.
Dumbledore nodded, then smiled somewhat mischievously. "I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
"I understand his personality. He would not easily fall in love with a second woman."
"So, can you tell me which woman Severus has fallen in love with?"
Seeing Dumbledore's expectant expression as he drank his mead, Katelyle smiled. "Albus, I always thought you were an upright man. Gossip is not something that should show itself in you."
"And I always thought you were very noble, and would never do something like introducing someone to a potential partner," Dumbledore countered.
"I was not the one who introduced them." Katelyle shook his head and chuckled. Then he said, "It was Remus who introduced someone to Severus."
