Empty Jaded Emerald Eyes
Chapter 36
McGonagall And Disturbing Eavesdropping
"Professor McGonagall!" said Zach.
"Mr. Snape, Severus" said McGonagall not looking happy with them at all.
"You know about Dumbledore already?" asked a surprised Severus, news travelled fast, faster than he thought.
"Of course I know! How could you do this Severus? After everything Dumbledore has done for you?" said McGonagall close to tears. She had forgiven him for taking money from Harry Potter, knowing he had put it all back. She alone thought she knew how badly Dumbledore struggled to keep up with everyone's expectations. She had no idea she was just being used by Dumbledore, after all the McGonagall's weren't poor.
"What has he done for me Minerva?" asked Severus casually he knew that Dumbledore had not done very much for him.
"He got you a trial!" said McGonagall.
"Everyone is entitled to one Minerva even the guilty, no one is guilty till charged. Men were condemned to Azkaban without proof that they were Death Eaters, I'm not saying I was one of them" said Severus.
"But…he got your's moved up!" protested Minerva.
"No he didn't, just brought it forward a few hours," scoffed Severus looking pissed off; Dumbledore had been telling people lies had he? He was angry now. Good job he was the one escorting Dumbledore to the end of the wards, he was going to give him a curse or two as a farewell.
"But he told us!" said Minerva trailing off looking confused.
"Check the records yourself Minerva my trial was only brought forwards a few hours," said Severus.
"What about the protection he gave you?" said McGonagall.
"That came at a price!" snarled Severus angrily; Dumbledore had threatened him with Azkaban if he hadn't spied. It was only recently that he finally felt free and hoped perhaps he could avoid Azkaban for everything he did.
At McGonagall's confused look he explained.
"I was either to spy or spend my life in Azkaban," said Severus bitterly.
"But….but…but" mumbled McGonagall looking as if the very life had just been drained from her entire body. She couldn't make sense of everything, she wanted to believe Albus he was her lover. Lately though things had been happening causing her to question his motives.
"He has never done anything for me, and I am not doing this out of spite, this is all Harry's doing and he's happy for the first time in his life. Don't deny him the revenge again Dumbledore after everything he did. Pushed him away when it was appearing he was going dark killing his family. Sending him to them in the first place, he went there Minerva and saw that Harry wasn't happy, he let it continue he didn't care, he never has" said Severus.
"It's all true," said Zach as if he was annoyed at being not spoken too.
"Is this really Fred and George?" asked Minerva.
"Indeed, these are my sons," said Severus.
"Excuse me Severus," she said paling dramatically. She felt awful if what Severus was saying is true, then Dumbledore knew from her also. She had protested that 'They were the worst sort of Muggles' but nothing came of it. Dumbledore said he would check and next thing she knew Dumbledore told her how 'his beloved hero' was getting on. Not just her but the entire world, it made her sick to think of what other lies Dumbledore could have told her.
Severus looked around and saw what was wrong with her; she saw Dumbledore and began walking in the other direction. He had no idea she was affected worse than he could imagine.
"Minerva! MINERVA!" boomed Dumbledore, saw what he wanted McGonagall kept going in another direction.
"What did you say to her?" asked Dumbledore paling dramatically.
"Nothing but the truth!" snarled Severus.
Dumbledore moved as if he was about to strangle Severus.
"Ah, Ah, remember what the heir of Merlin said Dumbledore," smirked Severus, it was amazing having that kind of control over Dumbledore. It was amazing to be able to tell that man what to do after all those years of him having to do what he was told.
"One day Severus, ONE DAY!" said Dumbledore angrily.
"Leave, you are no longer welcome here," smirked Zach.
"You will all get what's coming to you" snarled Dumbledore angrily.
"I'm sure," sneered Severus challengingly.
"Leave this place," sneered Zach in disgust.
Growling low in his throat he turned around and walked away, before he started going in the other direction. He was obviously determined to speak to Minerva McGonagall.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" smirked Zach.
"Dead on" smirked Severus right back.
Quick as lightening Zach followed Dumbledore all the way to McGonagall's room. He got an extendable ear and listened in on the conversation, Zach had to admit as he listened he and his twin had created something brilliant indeed the only worthy thing they had made - The Extendable ear.
"How dare you come in here! Leave at once" shrieked McGonagall sounding more like a cat that she was.
"What did they say?" asked Dumbledore on his knees.
"Nothing you will want to hear," snapped McGonagall.
"They lied Minerva," said Dumbledore.
"Why would they do that? They already have you submitted and chucked from this school" snapped McGonagall.
"Please listen to me! They lied love, they knew you and many others would follow me and is trying to turn anyone that they can against me!" said Dumbledore trying to sooth McGonagall.
"Love? They are together?" asked a shocked Zach. He had a silencing spell around him otherwise there was a chance that Dumbledore and Minerva would have heard him.
"Please stop unpacking your things! Come with me!" begged Dumbledore.
"I refuse to go with a man who no longer has any values, what happened to you Albus you are not the man I have grown to love" said Minerva sadly.
"Of course I am!" protested Dumbledore.
"You aren't, you are a cruel and evil man, and I only saw the good side of you. You are a disgrace. I will stay where I am wanted, welcomed and needed" said McGonagall.
"Please I don't know what I will do without you" said Dumbledore forcing tears into his eyes.
"Oh Albus," sighed McGonagall, Dumbledore smirked on the inside 'Jackpot'
"You lived one hundred years before I came into your life, I'm sure you will survive, you know where the door is" snapped McGonagall.
"MIN" said Dumbledore weakly.
"Go," snarled McGonagall she wouldn't love a man such as Dumbledore, she had married a man once and he had been everything to her, she had been lonely when she started seeing Dumbledore. Now she was disgusted with herself and wished it had never happened.
"Very well" said Dumbledore.
Zach only managed to hide behind a statue before the door was thrown open. Dumbledore closed the door a weird look on his face, when he started walking away he said something that truly disturbed him.
"Voldemort will help me".
How many of you expected that huh? c'mon be honest! it's not often i join Voldemort and Dumbledore together lmaooo! it was soo fun to write though. Was actually concidering writing in the scene where he actually goes to Voldemort and finds the way around the oath. though their minds...he wasnt telling anyone he was just showing them... harry isnt perfect and didnt think that one through properly unfortunately. R&R will harry pay a heavy price for his not so considerate wordings in the oath he made?
