Hello again sorry this took a little longer been hanging out with my friends and family before i go back to University.
I hope you all will enjoy this and again any questions/comments/concerns please let me know. also if you have any ideas for characters please let me know.
(I.E. if Snape should be nice to Harry, if Draco should be nicer, etc.) Although, if I'm not a fan of the idea you pitched, I will not include it.
(Just so i don't get a lot of these. I will not have Lilly with Severus, Sirius, or Remus. Harry will end up with Ginny (other ships I'm willing to explore).)
Disclaimer: if i owned Harry Potter i wouldn't be writing this.
Chapter 3
A few days have past since Dumbledore figured out that the spell used was one that he has seen before, but on a dead body. He knew this spell was created by a special teacher of his, Severus Snape. Sadly, though he has been avoiding Dumbledore because the young 21-year-old was scarred about how he is portrayed. Snape however couldn't resist long because he knew the only reason, he's not in Azkaban was because of Dumbledore.
As Dumbledore was sitting at his desk going through his letters from the ministry and teachers, he heard a nock at his door. "Come in…. Ah, Severus just the man I wanted to see… How are your classes going?"
"They're fine… Now tell me, what you wish I could do for you?"
"Right to the chase then I see, very well. Of course, you are aware that Lily survived the attack from Voldemort." Snape flinched at the name but didn't question. "Then I can assume you know the damage she has sustained?"
Staring into his obnoxiously twinkling eyes "If you think I can just walk up to Lily after all this time with both, Lupin and Black there and tell them that I was the one that created the spell, taught it to several death eaters and the Dark Lord himself you must be insane."
"Oh, on the contrary, I want you to teach me the spell to fix her, and I shall add in your name, in good gracious" with a wink at the end. "But then again…" interrupting Snape's thought process "If you did it yourself, it could very well put you into the good books with her."
"How bad is it truly?"
"They say that she's lucky to not be split in half."
"Give me time to think about this."
"She does not have time Severus, she is losing a lot of blood and the healers don't know how to stop it. They have slowed it down a lot, it looked good a few weeks ago, but they opened again. So, I ask you to do it not for me, not for yourself, but for Lily".
"Fine, but they cannot know that I created it, I only learned it from the Dark Lord."
"Whatever you please. We shall head over tonight meet me here, whenever you will be free for the rest of the night." Snape turned on his heels and walked swiftly out with his cape billowing after him. Thinking of all the ways he wanted to see Lily again this… This was the least ideal.
Back at St. Mongos, Lily is sitting up eating a bowl of soup, talking to Sirius.
"I don't even know where I would live once I get out of here. Do I move back to the cottage in Godric's hollow or find somewhere else? Plus, we have to deal with them" nodding towards a group of passersby's looking and pointing into the little window in the door.
"Well I have heard of a place my cousin talked about… The good one, Andromeda not the others" Sirius quickly added as Lily gave him a skeptical look.
"Where?"
"Well it's a little out of the way from wizards, but not too far where Harry won't grow up with them. The place is called Ottery St. Catchpole."
"Never heard of it"
"Well Andromeda says that it is home to some of the loveliest people around. You've heard of the Lovegood's and the Weasleys I assume?"
"in passing but yes"
We could move out there and make a lovely spot for ourselves it's out of the way where we won't have hoards of witches and wizards bombarding us, and not many muggles will be there, so we won't have to worry about magic."
"Us? Do you want to live with me and Harry?" as Lily said this Sirius got redder and redder
"Uh… yes, well its only that I promised James when I became Harrys Godfather that I would look after you as well if he died and the best way to live up to that is if I live with you. I mean only if you want, I don't want to intrude or anything."
"Don't be daft of course you can live with us I think it will be fun. Plus, I think it will be really good for Harry if you are there for us, and him." Both of them smiling ear to ear. "I also think that would be good for Harry and us, don't the Weasleys have a boy his age as well?"
"Yes, they also have a daughter a year younger then Harry, the same with the Lovegood's."
"Wonderful, looks like we can go house shopping after I'm out of here." Lily said with a grin. Thinking 'this is going to be something. James is probably proud and jealous.'
It's now 8:00pm and Dumbledore is patiently waiting for Severus to come. He sat at his desk staring at the door for nearly 2hrs. "you know Albus staring isn't going to make him come any faster" said a voice on the wall"
"Ah, but Dilys it does make me feel like it will." Dumbledore replied with a smirk. A few more minutes pass and a nock greeted his ears. "Alas, come in"
Snape strode in not meeting his eyes. "I would be correct in assuming you are ready?" Dumbledore politely asked.
"Obviously" Snape replied clearly done with the topic.
"Very well then..." Dumbledore said pointing to the fire place. "After you". Snape strolled over to the fire place, took a deep breath, and grabbed a handful of floo powder. Then walked into the embers and said clearly "St. Mungo's Hospital." His vision got blurry as he spun and spun, but it all stopped abruptly as he clambered out of the fire place at the hospital and waited for Dumbledore to accompany him.
When he arrived Snape could feel his stomach drop, he was about to come face to face with Lily. After he just sent the Dark Lord on her son. Building all his courage he strolled with Dumbledore as he led the way to Lily's room. Just before they entered the hall way with Lily's room Dumbledore turned to Snape.
"You know I was beginning to question your love, but here you are proving everyone wrong about who you are." Snape just stared at Dumbledore.
"My love? You think I would risk my life for someone I don't Love?" Snape said with the upmost loathing in his voice.
"Pardon my words Severus. Please let us continue".
As they approached the door Snape noticed two guards posted outside it now more alert as people entered the hallway. "Gentlemen, I am Albus Dumbledore and this is Severus Snape please excuse us while we go and fix Lily". The two men already very familiar with Dumbledore were cautious about Snape's entry. "He is with me I assure you". The men glanced at each other and let them through.
When Dumbledore and Snape entered the room, mixed emotions rang out when Lily, Remus, and Sirius could just see him they were filled with joy but when Snape came into view the mood changed. Sirius was filled with rage, Remus filled with dislike and confusion, and Lily filled with confusion as well.
"Why is he here!?" Sirius yelled, pointing at Snape.
"He is here of my asking."
"Your asking?" Sirius now rising to his feet
"Yes, his asking. You see Black some of us actually have information that can help people." Snape said sneering.
"What do you know that can help?" Remus joining Sirius standing.
"I just happen to know how to fix Lily's wounds."
"Oh, Sev do you really?" Lily inquired with a very smoothing voice that made Severus blush a smidge.
"Indeed, he does now I'm going to ask both you Remus and Sirius to leave the room for a little while while Severus heals her."
"No. Not happening I am not leaving Lily with Snivellus."
"Well Black it's either you leave, or I do. Now which one will you pick?" Sirius looked at Lily who nodded her head and said, "Its fine he won't do anything.". He then turned around and looked at Dumbledore.
"Are you staying in?"
"Yes, I think I will observe my new teacher at work I would put it" with a big smile. Remus grabbed Harry, and Sirius and brought them into the hallway.
"Now I'm sure you two have a lot of catching up to do but they won't stay out there for very long so lets just get to business. Yes?".
Snape approached Lily and whispered, "Please lie down". As Lily did so she asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Heal you. Though I'm not sure if I can fully heal you. I mean that as in you will have some nasty looking scars, but it shouldn't take away your beauty" as Snape said this it made her Blush a little.
"Very well then continue."
Snape stood over Lily and started tracing the wounds that the curse made while he stared at her wounds, he never seen wounds like this on a living person. He then started to mutter which to Lily sounded a lot like a song "Vulnera Sanentur" over and over. The bleeding slowed, then stopped altogether. The wounds started to heal and close. After about 5 minutes Snape stopped and said, "I'm sorry but that is all I can do".
Lily got up sore and looked at her wounds completely sealed but scarred badly. It looks like someone cut her two separate times with a sword. The first coming from her right shoulder down to just before her belly button. The second coming from under her left breast to her right hip. Both very clear but livable.
"They will remain shut, but I would recommend not doing anything reckless to be on the safe side."
"Oh, Severus how could I ever thank you." As she gave him a hug, she no longer felt any pain but was just exhausted.
Caught off guard, he had a hard time getting out "there's no need. Just take care of yourself" as he glanced at Dumbledore, Dumbledore gave a slight wink.
"Well we should let the others back in now. Have a good night Lily." Dumbledore said getting to his feet followed by Severus "until next time".
They both left the room and reassured that everything went smoothly and the two of them left to go back to Hogwarts. While Remus, Sirius and Lily celebrated her new health.
