Chap 10 - Success but Failure
Sirius and I walked up the stairs to the 6th floor. Sirius had been scouting Snape. Apparently he passes in this hall everyday at 2 pm. Sirius took advantage of this and set up the broom cupboard with 20 Dungbombs. I would stand inside and pull Snape in, get out, lock him in. Good plan? No. What we hadn't accounted for was maybe, just maybe, Lily could quite possibly be with him.
I waited and as soon as the Detector went off I reached out of the door pulled Snape in. He was heavy, well until I heard a scream as I locked the door.
LILY!
I unlocked the door quickly but the Dungbombs had already gone off.
SHIT!
I quickly pulled them out as the smell of manure filled my nose. They spluttered as the smell stained their clothes. Then they saw me.
"Potter!" Snape growled
"I'm sorry... I thought... I thought you were Sirius!"
Maybe that could work...
"You don't think I know your game Potter! I saw Black following me for the past week!"
"Severus, it's not what you think," I said lamely. This was not going good. It got worse.
"Potter, why would you hurt my boyfriend!"
FUCK!
"I...I..."
"You are such an ass Potter. You think you are so cool cause you have a shit load of money. Well let me tell you this. You are garbage. It's people like you that turned the world this way."
The rich comment had stung. I've heard that for years.
"Lily, please... Lily..."
"Shut up!" She screamed it so everyone heard. "Come on Sev. Let's go."
They turned and walked away. I feel like someone just took a broom and rammed it into my stomach.
"Tough luck man..." Sirius had walked up from behind me.
