Severus Snape

Severus spent the rest of his night after talking to Albus trying to figure out what he was going to say to Harry the next time he talks to him while marking the homework for Fourth Year Hufflepuff and Ravenclaws. He had already written out the note he was going to send to Harry during Dinner;

Mr Potter,

I have found the items you had asked about when you stayed behind after class. If you come see me after you have eaten your Dinner I will gladly give them to you. I will be in my office which is attached to the Potions classroom.

S.S

He had already made duplicates of all the photo's of Lily he had, now all he had to do was give them to the boy. Severus was currently sitting at the Head table watching the students enter the Great Hall and eating their breakfast, having already eaten his own before the students arrived. He was watching out to try and see Harry when he arrived which he did after ten minutes of watching. He watched as Harry and Malfoy walked towards the Slytherin table and as soon as he sat down he looked towards the Gryffindor table and Severus could make out a smile that was over taking his features. Severus followed his gaze and saw that he was smiling at his two friends Weasley and Granger who were sitting next to the Weasley twins before he turned his sight back to Harry.

He took a proper look at him and saw the exhaustion in the subtle slump of his shoulder and the bags that were starting to develop underneath his eyes. He the turned to look at Malfoy and saw him making up a plate of food that he was surprised to see be put in front Harry before turning to make himself a plate of breakfast. 'I guess he knows that something is wrong with Harry.' Severus mused to himself watching as Harry ate a single slice of toast.

Harry then turned to look at the Head table and Severus was able to meet his eyes for the first time that day. His eyes which were normally bright were dulled because of lack of sleep and Severus had never seen them least like Lily's then in that moments. Their eyes had only been locked for a moment before Harry turned his gaze back to the table in front of him and picked up another slice of toast of the plate in front him. Harry seemed oblivious to the concerned looks that were being thrown at him by Malfoy, Severus was continuously surprised when he saw the friendship between the two of them develop as he had initially expected them to be at each others throats during all seven of their years at Hogwarts.

When breakfast was over Severus began his trek down to the Dungeons for his first lesson of the day which was with Third Year Gryffindor's and Slytherin's which he was dreading because the Weasley twins always got into some mischief. Severus took a deep breath when he was standing outside of the Potions classroom before slamming the door open.

"Today you are going to be making a Calming Draught." Severus proclaimed as he made his way to the front of the classroom, he pulled his wand out of his robe sleeve and pointed at the board which caused the instructions to appear on the board. "Anyone who does not complete the potion perfectly at the end of the lesson will be deducted ten house points and they will also have to complete ten inches on the properties of every single ingredient in the potion and how they react with each other. And in case any of you get any idea's, no that is not ten inches in total that is ten inches for every ingredient."

Severus then sat down at his desk and watched as his student began to do the work set for them.

Severus was relieved when it became time for Dinner and there had been no mishaps in any of his lessons, not even the Weasley twin had caused any bother that morning. Severus had walked up to the owlery before Dinner and attached the letter to the first available owls leg for Harry before making his way down to the Great Hall. He sat in his place at the Head table and the House Elves had his Dinner magicked on to his plate as soon as he touched his seat. When he was finished eating he was watching Harry and Malfoy who seemed to be trying to get Harry to put more food on his plate that was worryingly empty, however their argument was disrupted by the owl Severus had attached the letter to swooped down and held out its leg for Harry to take the letter.

Severus watched as he read the notes and when Harry was finished reading he turned to look at the Head table to nod at Severus who nodded back in reply. Severus then made his way down out of the Great Hall and down to his office where the photo's of Lily were sitting inside the locked draw of his desk. When he arrived at his office the first thing he did was sit down behind his desk and unlock the draw containing all those precious memories of his before pulling them out and looking through them while waiting for Harry to arrive.

The first picture Severus saw was of Lily's tenth birthday. They were both sitting in her families garden eating cake and in the picture Lily was laughing at something Severus had said while Petunia was scowling at them from the edge of the picture. The next one was the day Lily had gotten her Hogwarts letter which she was holding up to the camera while her other arm was wrapped around Severus' neck and he was holding up his own Hogwarts letter. The photo of Lily and Severus who were sitting in front of Mrs Evans telling her stories of Hogwarts at Christmas break during their First Year at Hogwarts. There were so many good memories in his hand but the older the two in the photo's got the sadder Severus got because he still to this day regrets what he said to Lily.

Severus was dragged out of his memories when he heard a knock at the door. He cleared his throat before speaking. "Come in." He said while lowering the photo's to put them back on top of his desk. The door opened and in came Harry who was looking down at his feet as he walked in; when he stood in front of Severus' desk he gestured for him to sit down in the chair available. As soon as he was seated in the chair Severus picked up the photo's and held them out for Harry to take. Harry slowly reached out his hand as though afraid that Severus was going to snatch them back and tell him he couldn't look at them. Severus watched as Harry flicked through the photo's with a small smile on his face as he took in the details of the photo.

"While you're here Mr Potter I believe it would be best if we talk about what happened yesterday." Severus said and it caused Harry to sigh but nod his head in agreement.

"Sir how long do I have to look at the photo's?" Harry asked peeking up at Severus from beneath his fringe and Severus frowned.

"They are yours to keep Mr Potter. I have copies for myself." Severus explained and the smile that overcame Harry's features nearly split his face and Severus was unable to stop himself from smiling back.

"By the way Professor Snape I think I remember something else." Harry's face became grave when he said this. "It doesn't make much sense but Voldemort told my mum to step aside so he could kill me. Why would Voldemort want to kill me though, I was only a baby?" Harry asked and Severus could feel the blood rushing from his face.

'Why did Voldemort tell Lily to step aside? And how do I explain to Harry why Voldemort wanted to kill him?' Severus asked himself searching for an answer.

"Well..."
