Chapter 11: Confessions all Around
Along the way to the Cafeteria, I explained to James what I had to do.
"No! Lily, you can't!" he exclaimed.
I shook my head sadly. "I'm sorry, James, but I have to."
He looked like he wanted to say something, but was hesitant to do so. At last, he stuttered out, "I- I love you, Lily."
I gasped. "I love you too, James!"
We smiled happily at each other until I realized that we had reached the cafeteria.
I had tears in my eyes as I walked up to Mr. Dumbledore. "Mr. Dumbledore," I began. "I have something to tell you."
Mr. Dumbledore looked down at me in surprise. "Why, whatever is it, child?" he asked me.
"Mr. Dumbledore… I'm a… slee…" but I was interrupted. It was… Severus Snape!
"Oh, for fuck's sake," he said. "It was me!"
I gasped.
"I stabbed and then impersonated you!"
I gasped again. "That's why you stole my hair," I realized.
"Yes," he replied. "I used it to make my wig."
"What? Why didn't you make polyjuice potion?"
He looked at me like I was crazy. "That takes a month to make, bitch."
Mr. Dumbledore stood. "Well, Severus, what you have told me just now is extremely incriminating." And with that, Dumbledore whistled and a cop car burst through the front doors. An officer climbed out of the driver's seat and cuffed Snape's hands behind his back, before pulling him into the back seat.
As he was being taken away, Snape yelled, "I would've gotten away with it too! If it weren't for you meddling kids!"
I laughed. "Well, joke's on you because I'm not a kid; I'm a mermaid!" Oops.
James, who had joined me in the staff's eating area, laughed and put his hands on my shoulders. "We're all mermaids, Lily. That's why we go to Hogwarts: School for Magical Mermaids."
Note: This chapter is straight up insanity. But did you like my twists? I bet you weren't expecting that. *chuckles maniacally*
