A/N: Anything that looks familiar isn't mine. I don't own nor do I make money from anything related to Harry Potter. Here's a one shot of the confrontation between Severus and Minerva at the Battle of Hogwarts. Enjoy!
"Now then," he started, inching forward from the top of the hall into the pathway the students created, "if anyone in here has any knowledge of Mr. Potter's movements, I invite them to step forward." He came to a standstill. "Now!"
He stood, waiting. He was sure Harry was in the castle. He looked around at the student body. Footsteps broke the eerie silence. The whole room gasped audibly and Severus's tried not to smile as Harry stepped forward. He knew he was in the castle, and he knew he would step forward.
"It seems," said Harry in a clear, strong voice, "despite your exhaustive defensive strategies," the doors opened wide, the Order walking through, "you still have a bit of a security problem, Headmaster." The last word was used sarcastically. "And I'm afraid is rather extensive."
"How dare you stand where he stood!" He exclaimed. Severus's face fell as Harry reminded him of the most horrible act he had ever committed. The act that killed him. The act he would never forgive himself for. It didn't matter that Albus had asked him to do it. It didn't matter that Albus was already dying. It didn't matter that he saved Draco. It was the worst thing he had ever done, and no matter how justified, he would never ever forgive himself.
"Tell them how it happened that night!" Harry demanded. "Tell them how you looked a man in the eye, a man who trusted you, and killed him! TELL THEM!" He was furious. How dare he! Harry knew nothing about what happened that night. Harry only knew the lie. The rumor that had spread like wildfire!
Severus whipped his wand out and pointed it at Harry. And the minute he did that, his heart broke. He looked at the woman he considered to be a mother figure shield Harry from him and point her wand at him. His face fell into shock and he started to tremble. She did the same. Minerva's hands shook as she pointed the wand at her would be son. The twenty five year age gap between them had served as the mother/son relationship that they had. When Sev had come to Hogwarts, he was a lost little kid with horrible parents. He became misguided after his fall out with Lily Evans, joining the worst of the worst. After he ratted out Lily and James and went to Albus for help, Albus and Minerva took Severus in. They gave him a chance to make up for it, as if anything could make up for that mistake. She shot curse after curse at him and he deflected them. The final curse she aimed at him he used to take out Carrow siblings. After that, he had no choice but to leave. He heard the words that his "mom" had shouted at him.
"Coward." Her voice was shaken.
His heart was broken.
