Chapter 10
"Severus, out of the hospital wing I see,"
"Clearly, Headmaster," Dumbledore's grasp of the obvious never ceased to amaze me.
"You do know that I cancelled classes," my eyebrow rose slightly, "for the celebrations," Ah yes there was no more Umbridge anymore. Things could also go back to normal apart from the return of the dark lord being made official; Lucius, Avery , McNair had been un-acquitted, unfortunately Bellatrix was still at large as was Greyback and Rosier was actually dead this time – he did always like a fight.
"Yes almost back to normal," Albus heard my sarcasm and raised one silver eyebrow. As long as Albus Dumbledore was around everything should be fine. As long as fine meant Potter would be alive, then fine would have to do. But nothing would be fine for me; not any more. The number of people who now considered me a hero was insane. I was never a hero. Dumbledore as always seemed to know what I was thinking. "You were always a hero, Severus; you tried to do the right thing,"
"But I always took the wrong path first,"
"True; but you never stayed on those paths when you knew the truth, as so many others did," he nodded to me as he left me standing very much alone in the middle of a corridor; what did the man see.
