Chapter 2:

Changes

The mystery people entered then and all those in the hall begain to laugh and rejoice at the new comers.

Severus' hands suddenly gripped Harry's back as a beautiful woman with long auburn hair entered the hall, hand in hand with a man with jet black hair and glasses. The man was talking to a ruggedly handsome man with untidy hair.

Harry then turned and saw his long lost and dead parents. He remembered the pensive and Snape's love for his mother. He looked up at Severus and saw that his face reflected his lifelong longing for Lily. His face was tense and there was sadness mingling in with love in his eyes.

Severus let go of Harry and walked away hurredly hiding his face from the probing eyes of Dumbledore and Harry. Harry looked over to where his mother was standing and laughing at something that Sirius said. Harry couldn't help but understand Severus' feelings towards James. After all he had felt the same feeling towards Dean when he had been going out with Ginny.

Harry walked over to where his mother and father now stood and asked very quietly to speak to his mother alone. Lily looked down at her son and saw that something was bothering him, and agreed to go outside.

" Mom, I think that you need to forgive Severus for calling you a mudblood." Harry said looking up into the eyes so like his own, that now were looking at him in shock.

" Forgive him? Harry, I can't. He hurt me so badly, I honestly don't think I ever can." Lily said, looking at Harry's face and seeing the anguish in his eyes.

Harry lookied down and said " But mom, you've got to." he wasn't sure if showing her the memories in the pensive would help, but he had to help Severus. After all he had done so much for him and he just couldn't let him down.

Lily looked down at her son and saw the determination in his eyes. " Alright, if you have some way to prove to me that he deserves my forgiveness, then show it."

Harry took his mother's hand and led her to Dumbledore's office. " Now after you see this you will have to forgive him, when I saw, I did." Harry said, looking into the pensive. He looked to his mother and nodded, she looked at him a moment and then bent and dissapered into the pensive. Harry sighed, here he was going to have to see the sad and embarassing memories of Severus Snape all over again. He then bent and sank into the pensive after his mother.

Instead of watching the memories all over again, Harry decided to watch his mothers face. Her eyes widened at times and by the time that she saw how much she really ment to Snape, she was in tears.

They were lifted out of the pensive and she shook her head, " Harry, I just don't know. I don't think I can forgive him still."

" Why Lily? Am I not good enough for your forgiveness?" said a voice from the corner. Lily sighed and turned towards the figure in all black. She kind of did a double take, he was washed and clean, he actually looked quite handsome.

" Severus, I just don't know." Lily said once she seemed to have regained herself. He looked at her and the love and sadness filled his eyes once again, " Lily, please. All I want is your forgiveness, your friendship. Please, don't make me suffer any longer." Severus said, his eyes and voice pleading.

Lily looked at him and sighed, she didn't know what to do. She wasn't sure she could forgive him just yet. " Severus," his eyes lit up at her voice speaking his name. " I'm just not sure if I can forgive you. I-I just don't know." she said looking into his eyes. His eyes shone with unshed tears. He walked over to where Lily stood, looked into her eyes and said, " Lily, please. I can't handle it any more." Lily looked up at his face and said, " Severus, I thought you were strong? Strong enough to handle this, it's what you wanted."

Snape looked at her with an odd look in his eye, " What I wanted? No, not what I wanted at all Lily. What I wanted was...." He looked away.

" Well, what did you want?" Lily said scruntinizing at his face, he was looking away from her.

" What I wanted was-" Severus began, but before he could finish James Potter came in. James' face showed his shock, mingled with anger.

" What the hell do you think your trying to do? Feeling up my wife?" He said, for Severus was holding Lily around the waist.

Harry sighed, here it goes again. The old predijuce was back, the hatred between the Gryffendors and Slytherens will never end...
