My trip thought time

Chapter 8

The year was going great so far, reading the books from the founder Gryffindor vault. He had not read them all yet, so he didn't need to worry about running out. He was glad he had a vault; it made him feel grateful for the hat. He had never really realized how good and helpful the hat could be. For what the hat had done he was grateful. However, he would learn just in the nick of time to listen to the hats warnings and suggestions.

Lucius after coming back from break was colder and more deadly than ever. Harry knew that Lucius was most probably a Death Eater already. He knew Severus was, and wondered why on earth he ended up taking the mark.

-----------Sev's POV---------------

"Lucius what do you want?" asked Severus, he would never forgive the boy for what he had done, nor would he forgive himself for what he did.

"I just want to apologize" said Lucius, who looked like he had not slept a wink.

"It's a bit late for that" snarled Severus angrily.

"I know you won't have to put up with it much longer" said Lucius, classes had just finished, and Harry would be meeting up with Severus in a few minutes. They had, had different classes, for the last period of the day.

Severus was unsettled, Lucius Malfoy had never apologized, what on earth was going on? While he was thinking Lucius had gone away, looking lost in his own world. He looked like he had not wanted to be a Death Eater, but that was impossible right? Perhaps the boy wore masks like him? He didn't know, he was unsure if he should accept the apology.

--------------End Sev's POV-----------------------------------------

--------Still in the Slytherin common room, after school had just finished for the day---------

"Hey, Sev what's the matter?" asked Harry coming in seeing Severus' troubled look.

"Malfoy," said Severus sighing, he should tell Harry what had occurred.

"What's he done?" asked Harry frowning.

"He apologized for something, he has never done so before, he didn't look like he had slept. I'm worried."

"What did he do?" asked Harry.

"I can't say" said Severus uneasily, he never wanted Harry to find out he is a Death Eater.

Suddenly Harry backed up, a look of horror on his face, he had a good idea what on earth had happened. But Malfoy apologizing had blown away; suddenly the sorting hat's warning went through him.

------Thoughts and conversation that have taken place since he had been there------------

"Now you are going into Slytherin they need your help, get to know them they are not as they seem" said the hat mysteriously.

"Really? Wow" said Severus a little jealously in his voice.

He did not really have any family heirlooms; his family was neither the nicest one nor the richest. His father was a Muggle and hated wizards, even his mother. Severus still did not understand why his mother put up with him. His mother had been a Prince but her family had disowned her so he was a half blood. A pure blood on one side of his family, he had always been curious to his mother's family he would like to meet them. He had the Prince eyes, usually they were blue like sapphires or they were Onyx. His were obviously Onyx really dark brown eyes; it was really the only part of his mother he had in his features.

"Why are you jealous?" asked Harry his face going impassive.

"I'm not," said Severus denying it immediately.

"Yes you are, you can tell me your not a million times but I know you are, I can tell one of my best friends was a jealous brat and totally immature and there was something in your voice" said Harry remembering Ron's voice having the same tone to it when he was jealous.

"Fine, I just…I would love to have family heirlooms" said Severus with a sigh.

He did not understand how Harry could read him so easily, no one else could. The way Harry explained how he knew made Severus feel like an open book. Shrugging it of he knew that he was hard to read perhaps it was just Harry that could.

Harry could read Severus because he had known the man for five years, reading his moods in classes wanting to know how he was going to be treated in class. If the man was angry it was usually Harry he took it out on, if he was annoyed he would ignore Harry. When he was seriously pissed off or in a good mood he was humiliate him, one instant reading the article aloud in potions class, the one saying Hermione and he were going out.

"What would you like a family or an heirloom?" asked Harry.

"An heirloom" said Severus.

----------------------------------------0

He suddenly realized Severus had most likely a Death Eater and had killed his family. He wondered if he had wanted to or not, he needed to look for Lucius Malfoy. Shuddering, he wondered if the blond was suicidal he had a feeling that might be what it is.

"I've got to go" said Harry running to the boy's toilets, he didn't have far to go, the toilets were in the Dorm room obviously.

Severus frowned; he didn't like to think Harry knew what had happened. Like he had said earlier he had always been able to read him. Knowing he had figured it out, he followed every attention of telling the whole truth.

Bursting into the boy's toilet he saw something he would never imagined.

Lucius Malfoy had slit his wrists; he was bleeding right that very moment. He didn't think he could have moved, however, Harry did, for that Severus was thankful.

Harry was thankful that he knew those spells; thanks to being abused he had learned them. He could do them wandlessly, but doing it with a wand he was able to do it better. There was less scarring when he did it with his wand, sighing softly he sighed when the wounds closed.

"Go and get a potion to restore blood, we made it there should be a couple in our dorm, he will need two, go and get them please Severus" said Harry, his voice had a demand in it.

Severus nodded, he took off out of the bathroom, locking the door behind him, and he could not have anyone coming into that sight. He raided his trunk he could not find any, he then went over to Harry, opening it he found them, taking two he then rushed back to Harry and Lucius.

"Here" said Severus, after unlocking and locking the door. He didn't think he had ever used spells so fast, but could say now he had.

"Thanks Sev," said Harry, banishing the blood, he poured the potions down the man's throat. He now knew his reason for being here; he knew that Lucius would have died if he had not come back. Perhaps he could help them after all, but he could not change time, he can't take that chance so there was only one thing he could do.

"What?" asked Lucius stunned as he came around. Sitting up, he closed his eyes when he got dizzy, his wrists were sore but at least they were not burning or bleeding.

"Are you ok?" asked Harry no hostility in his voice.

"Why are you here why did you help me?" asked Lucius surprise on his face.

"Because no one deserves to die, why did you want to kill yourself?" asked Harry looking worried.

"Didn't Snape tell you his dirty little secret" said Lucius, but he was not sneering he looked exhausted though.

"Harry…I...I'm…a Death Eater" said Severus looking ready to burst into tears.

"I know Severus, I just realized that, what I don't know was why Lucius apologized to you!" said Harry frowning.

"He murdered my father, and was part of the group that killed my mum" said Severus a tear sliding down his face.

"Your father was abusive don't get all teary" said Lucius.

"I am grieving for my mother, she never hurt me, and she stopped him when she could. Turning his anger from me to her" said Severus, angrily.

"I'm sorry" said Lucius again, leaning against the wall.

"It's ok, I can't change what happened" said Severus slumping down beside Lucius and Harry.

"This is not how it's supposed to go," said Harry, he needed to tell someone before he went insane, plus he knew he was going to need their help one way or another.

"What do you mean how it's supposed to go?" asked Severus a dangerous edge to his voice.

Harry was thankful he had already put silencing spells up, he didn't want anyone knowing what he was about to reveal. Sighing he decided to tell them everything but before he did that he would make them swear and oath, perhaps even an unbreakable vow, but that would take longer, perhaps just an oath it was just as good if not better than a vow.

"I want your oath that you will never tell anyone what I am about to tell you, not anyone or anything, you will never speak about it again unless there is a silencing spell up and its only me you are talking too" said Harry his voice showing how serious he was.

Severus and Lucius both shared a look, it was obvious whatever that was going on was pretty serious.

"I swear on my magic as a Wizard I will never willingly tell anyone or anything about what is spoken of in this room and only you with silencing spells up. I understand if I break this oath I will loose my magic" said Lucius.

"I too swear on my magic as a Wizard I will never willingly tell anyone or anything about what is spoken of in this room and only you with silencing spells up. I understand if I break this oath I will loose my magic" said Severus, wondering what was going to be said this night.
