Chapter 9
Harry nodded "I will apologize to Professor Snape" he looked over at Hermione "you are on your own for that one Harry, I already apologized to him and restocked his private stores, I defeat deatheaters with you not Professors."
Harry shook his head "thanks Hermione, I thought you guys had my back." Ron laughed "we do mate but Professor Snape; that is one fight you have to deal with alone." Hermione looked at Ron "you are making it seem like he's a scary person." Ron and Harry nodded "he is."
Harry sat back down "you both know how he treats me, he's treats me worse than anyone else, it makes him happy to see me in trouble. Anything I do and he will find a way to make sure I get a detention, points taken away or something. I bet he'd even smile if I got expelled."
Hermione sat down with him "You have to remember Harry, he has to act that way, he's the head of Slytherin, he can't be nice to you it would be weird and besides he saved your butt our first year remember that. Plus if he hadn't shown up in the shrieking shack, Moony would have hurt us."
Ron looked at them all "Speak for yourself, I was already hurt thank you very much Sirius Black." He turned to Sirius, who held his hands up "hey, I apologized for that incident and plus I saved you guys from Moony."
Harry looked up at his godfather "actually, it was Hermione; she kind of had a time-turner so we went back and she saved you from being killed by Moony." He turned to Remus "Hermione was the wolf howl you heard before you almost killed Padfoot."
Ron looked at them "Bloody hell, if you remember Professor Snape was 'protecting' us from Moony and if he hadn't of been there, Hermione you would have been hurt by Moony." Remus was looking at the floor.
Hermione smiled "and I would do it all again, if it had the same outcome, we reunited two best friends and cleared Sirius's name the only bad part was Peter getting away, you still owe me an apology for that Ronald, but a few Moony scratches would have been worth all of it."
Remus looked up and faintly smiled "thank you Hermione." Hermione hugged her ex-professor "anytime Remus, I would do it all again in a heartbeat to bring you and Sirius back together." Sirius placed his hand on her shoulder as well "thank you, Miss. Granger."
Lily smiled "I have always said that family is who you wanna call family." Fred and George appeared "what about us Lily, do we count?" Lily nodded and held open her arms "this family can always do with some more red heads." Molly, Arthur and Ginny joined the massive group hug.
Lily smiled and looked at Harry; she placed her arms around his shoulders "this is how we will defeat him, with family and love. Voldemort doesn't know love, he has never felt it. His followers don't love him, they fear him and fear is not love. Bellatrix may seem that she loves him but she doesn't, she doesn't know how to love, she is obsessed with the idea of power."
Molly smiled at the mother and son "she's right Harry; you have to remember that you are not alone in this. You have so many people behind you." Harry hugged Molly "thank you Mrs. Weasley for accepting me into your family and being a mother figure to me." Molly laughed "you are welcome Harry, like your mother said we are all family no matter what."
Lily led Harry into the kitchen "Now on a serious note, you are going to apologize to Severus now, he'll be here in a few seconds." Harry just looked at her. Lily rolled her eyes "you will apologize to him Harry, he may act like a grumpy old man but he really isn't one."
Severus appeared behind her "I hope you are not talking about me Ms. Evans because I do believe we are the same age." Lily looked at him "are you calling me old Severus? I can still win in a duel against you."
She turned her attention back to Harry "you have no idea what it is like to know that a Professor hates you Harry, when a professor calls you a stupid mudblood in front of your peers, then you can come to me and say that professor blah blah, hates you."
Harry tried not to get angry "someone said that to you in class." Lily nodded "yeah, I don't think he still teaches at Hogwarts anymore well he can't because his spot got filled and only by the best I may add."
Harry was in shock "which professor said that to you?" Lily sighed "you don't have to worry about it Harry, no one will ever say that to you." She looked over at Severus "if they do, let me deal with them."
She sat down with Severus and Harry "Now, I believe there is some bad blood, if you will, between you both and I know it stems from when we were children at Hogwarts and your problems with James. But Severus you have to realise that Harry is not James, and if you cannot get over that fact then you have to remember that Harry is also half of me."
Severus couldn't believe that he was having this conversation with Lily. Lily carried on "I know that the houses are rivals and the professor student relationship whatever, but when you are both in my presence I would like for you to at least be civil to each other okay, now Harry I believe you have something you want to say to Severus."
Harry looked up at the Slytherin professor "I want to apologize to you professor for what happened in the shrieking shack, it was wrong of me to assault you." Lily looked over at Severus.
Severus looked at the Gryffindor student "I accept your apology, Mr. Potter however IF there is a next time. I hope you are man enough to come to me and not have your mother force it out of you."
Lily smiled "and there is the Severus Snape, I know and love so much. I'm glad that is out of the way." Severus stood up "now if you will excuse me I have some order business to discuss with Arthur." Lily nodded "you need to come here more Sev, I miss you."
Severus nodded and walked into the library with Arthur. Lily looked at Harry "but he won't because your godfather is a butthead." Sirius poked his head round the door "you mentioned me dearest." Lily turned to him "Sirius is there any way possible for you and Severus to at least be civil towards each other when you are both around me. I have been given a second chance Sirius and I don't want you guys to make me choose who I spend that second chance with."
Can Sirius and Severus be civil towards each other for Lily's sake?
