A/N:Hey guys, some of you may wonder about a few things, I've gotten a
couple questions or a few point outs, the reason Severus seemed weaker was
because he didn't want to fight back. Even if Severus was stronger than
Sirius, which he could very well be, he just gained a son and daughter, the
last thing he needs to do is go and get arrested, or worse lose his son.
That's why he didn't fight back, he didn't want to risk losing something he
had that could be good. Surprisingly a friend of mine has been helping me
slowly develop this idea, (she's a Harry Potter person too, let's say
obsessed and leave it at that) anyway, well last night I was talking to her
on the phone, and let's just say there's a little twist later in the story
that will have those Severus' fans screamin' and the Sirius fans cheerin'
hehe no hints. Thanks for the reviews.
Many have also noticed I try and usually update regularly, two
reasons in that, the better I write and the fast the more I can turn it out
and I don't really like my stories sitting around. Second I'm a fanfiction
reader as well and I know it drives me crazy to sometimes wait so long
(ROWLING!!!!!) no mentioning names! So I try and update when I can, if not
every other day as I usually plan, that gives people time to read and
respond as well as a little anxiety. Okay I'll stop rambling onto the
story!
Chapter Ten-Secrets Revealed
Harry sat quietly beside his father's bed, wishing desperately that his father would wake up. He felt a pair of hands on his shoulders and looked up into the deep blue eyes of Leanne Dumbledore. She smiled softly at him.
"Take a walk with me?" She asked, he shrugged and nodded. He had been with Severus since they had brought him in from outside two days ago. Sirius had been taken to Azkaban, where he was now sitting in a cell trying to get past the hate. Leanne had been watching Lily's charge for the past two days, and realized the boy hadn't truly though about what had happened.
Neither spoke until they were away from the school near the lake. Leanne smiled as she sat down beside a tree stump and patted the grass area beside her. Harry sat down next to her, sighing slightly as he did so. She placed an arm around his shoulders and smiled.
"Your mother and I use to come down here all the time, anytime something was wrong, or well anytime. We called it LL's spot. LL for Lily and Leanne." She explained.
"It's beautiful," he said quietly.
"Harry, talk to me," she said.
"About what?" She smiled and touched his face as she came to face him, in the past three months she had come to love Harry more like her son every day, and part of her was sure he loved her as a child would a mother.
"Anything Harry. You need to talk; I can see it in you."
"I don't know, I guess I'm just having trouble believing that Sirius could do this. He was innocent of his charges, did you know that?"
"Yes, I did. Harry, Sirius was a good man, and at one point I thought there wasn't a horrible bone in his sweet body. Harry, he has changed since I knew him. He's more distant, and a little bitter. He's not a bad person, but on the contrary, I do believe the Dementors got to him. There were times when I would sit and wonder why Severus was in Slytherin and Sirius in Gryffindor. Seemed almost if they had been switched. Because sometimes, it seemed like Sirius had all the makings of a Slytherin, but at the same time he was fair and loyal."
"I know he loves me, but I'll never understand why he hated Dad so much."
"Because your father fell in love with two people that Sirius didn't feel he was worthy to have. He felt that Lily deserved better."
"And you."
"And me, he was so angry by this, and became twice as angry when everyone began to accept what was going on between him and Lily."
"You're an Animagus as well aren't you?" Harry asked.
"Yes I am, so was your mother, and Roxanne, as well as Severus. I have the feeling you are too."
"Wow, really. I never knew mum and dad were. What kind of animals?"
"Well Severus was a Phoenix, with the most amazing colors, green, silver, and white. He doesn't transform often, but when he's feeling better I bet you any money he'd show you."
"What about mum?"
"Oh, she was a tiger, a beautiful orange tiger."
"That's cool, I wish I could transform," Harry said. Leanne smiled as she spotted Harry's necklace, the one Severus had given him only a month or less earlier, it reminded her of his Christmas gift.
"With the Christmas gift you're getting I think you probably could."
"What was Dad like when he was my age?"
"Rowdy, rude, annoying, trouble maker, sweet, generous, comforting, hot, oh he was hot." She whispered. Harry raised an eye brow.
"I love your father Harry, with all my heart and soul," Harry smiled.
"I figured you did. Would you marry him, if he asked?" She thought for a moment.
"Yes, I would."
The two sat in silence for a moment, thoughts running through their head, and then Harry took a deep breath.
"I wanna live with Dad, I want to stay with him," Harry explained. She smiled.
"I don't think your father will argue your choice, one bit." Harry smiled and nodded.
"Can. would you mind if I called you mum sometimes?" He asked.
"If you're comfortable with it, of course not. I don't want you to do anything you're not comfortable with."
"Thanks," he whispered.
"Will Voldemort ever be defeated?" Harry asked quietly, as he played with a piece of grass between his fingers.
"You know, there's always going to be a Voldemort, Harry. There will always be a bad person to make a good person have to work that much harder. I believe one day that yes, Voldemort will die, but that won't mean the war is over. Far from it. There will be some of his followers left alive, and as long as they're alive than the Auroras will have to remain in charge as well."
"How do you become an Aurora?"
"Join the Order of the Phoenix, and help, however at your young age, well you may want to wait another three years. You'd be better off being eighteen before dealing with the real stuff. It's not easy."
"Is dad an Aurora?"
"Yes, but he's also a spy, so don't let those slip."
The two continued to talk until nearly dusk, as they headed inside they were both pleased to see Severus was awake and speaking slowly with his daughter. Harry smiled at Leanne and hugged her tightly. Leanne glanced over his head to Severus who smiled as he eyed them.
Ofancients: you mentioned Snape saying son too much, I can agree with you on that, and being the person who wrote it is annoying, however the Son will slowly melt away into an affectionate name (hehe don't flame the name!) as the two become more comfortable around one another. Rickman's Girl:As I explained up there why Snape didn't fight back I won't repeat it again, seeing as your eyes are probably bored (hehe j/k) your stories are really cool, btw. I'm not much of a Sirius fan myself however my friend Missy is and well let's just say she got her own way at small points. Iniysa:Don't worry much about Sirius, if you love him, you'll enjoy the end, it was Melissa's idea. Lei Dumbledore:Coming from you, and all the other writers hearing that my story is good means a lot. I've read both of your stories and I'm reading the summer one as update. I haven't read the other one yet. But you're an awesome writer and being told by you means a lot. As it does from many of you, because you are all good writers.
