A Marauder's Daughter
Chapter Twenty
The Photo Album Part 2
And Cora Snape
Hermione looked at her friends in shock. Snape had a sister and her uncle dated the bat's sister! It was just too hard to believe. But when Hermione thought about Snape he did seem with drawn more than usual and more curl since her mother returned to Hogwarts.
"Guys, Uncle Remus told me that Professor Snape was working on a cure for mom. Do you think the reason behind him wearing black is because he never gotten over her death?" Hermione asked her best friends.
"It might be. "Ginny stated. "And she might have died from cancer. That could be another reason. We can ask Remus later."
They nodded and Hermione turned the page.

Hermione stopped at a photo of her parents wedding day. She gently ran her fingers across the picture.
"They look so happy." Hermione said with a smile.
Sam was dressed in full length white gown, her hair was curled and hung loosely on her bare shoulders and was bare footed. Sirius wore smiple black robes. He kissed his bride and pulled back. (played again)

The next photo was of the wedding party. Remus, James and Peter on right. Lily, Cora and Grace on the left. "They didn't recognize.)

The picture was of the bride and groom cutting the wedding cake. They feed each other a slice of cake. He kissed the icing off Sam's lips.

The photo was of Sam and Sirius in the hospital. The witch held a new born baby.
"You were so cute." Luna said with smile.
"Yea. What happen to you?"
Hermione chunked a pillow at the red head.

She turned to the last photo. It was of Hermione's first birthday. They were surrounded by friends and family. Sirius held his daughter as he cut the cake. James sat next to his best friend with Harry in his lap.
Remus had his arm around Cora. Lily and Sam smiled at the family.

"Cora Snape is in every picture next Remus. Hermione do you think they were married or something?" The red head suggest.
"We were going to get married on December 12, 1976." Remus said from the doorway.
The girls looked from the photo album and the werewolf sat down on the bed across from the witches.
"What happened to Cora?" Hermione asked her uncle.
"She died unexpected. Cora had cancer and died three weeks before the wedding. Severus worked tirelessly for a cure, but failed. He blames his self for her death. When Sam showed up and with cancer it was going…to do anything to find a cure for her."
They sat in silence. They had no idea of the Potions Master's past.
"Is that why he's always wearing black?"
"Yes Luna it is. But please tell no one about Cora. It's like living that nightmare over again," and he left the room.
"That's so sad." Hermione said with tears in her eyes. "They both must have loved her very much."
They nodded and Hermione sat the album down on the beside table. Now the only thing they needed was the story why Sam left the wizarding world. The family knew some of the story, but their had to be more to it. Something she was holding back.
