Chapter nine Snapes Secrets

Lee-Lee Figg proved to be a very energetic little girl. She was running around the house imitating her mother in battle. Sirius and Harry had given up trying to calm her. They had both been bothered because they had been left behind. Sirius because he was missing out on the action and Harry because his family was in danger. Lee Lee assured Harry that everything was going to be ok.

"Don't wowwy Hawwee. Mummy's going to give dem a hi-ya!", she said punching the air, "and a ka-pow-pow!", as she kicked into the air violently.

She managed to bring Sirius and Harry to tears from laughter, at least for the first twenty minutes. Lee-Lee insisted on giving them a play by play. An hour later when she appeared to be tiring, Harry talked her into drawing the battle out for them. When things had calmed down, Sirius noticed the worried look on Harry's face. He placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Harry. Arabella Figg was a very famous auror. She trained Moody."

Harry nodded and watched as Lee-Lee drew a vicious werewolf attacking, what looked like, Snape. This sparked a whole line of questions.

"Sirius, why did you send Snape to the Whomping Willow that night?", Harry asked without looking at him.

"He was always following us around-"Sirius started.

Harry held up his hand, "no, I want the truth. You sent Snape to a werewolf. A werewolf that was your best friend. Remus could have killed Snape."

Sirius snorted, "All right, I will tell you the truth. I did it because of a girl."

Harry stared at his godfather in disbelief. "You almost killed Snape and sent Remus to Azkaban because of a girl!?" Sirius shook his head, and his eyes took on a dreamy look. "She wasn't just any girl Harry. Selena, was the Ravenclaw prefect."

He sighed, "She had the most beautiful long golden hair, like an angel. Her eyes were the most brilliant green. Her skin was a perfect peaches and cream."

Harry rolled his eyes. "And?" he asked impatiently.

"And, she was blind as a bat. I tried to win her heart, but she insisted we could only be friends. She said that she needed to focus on her studies. Her nose was always in a book." Sirius chuckled. "We used to have to pry books from her fingers in order for her to have any fun. Even then she spent half of her time in Hogsmeade in the books store."

Harry laughed, "She sounds like Hermione. If it weren't for Ron and me she would never take her nose out of her books."

"Snape was the same way as a kid. He always knew the answers in class. He lived in the library." Sirius' face darkened.

Lee-Lee stopped drawing and turned to listen.

"That is how he managed to weasel his way in." Sirius said venomously.

"I saw them in the back of the library. One minute they were reading and the next minute Snape was all over her! I ran over and pulled him off of her. I broke that over sized nose.", He added with a satisfied smile.

Harry noticed Lee-Lee frowning on the floor.

"She pushed me off of him and told me she didn't want me to come near either of them again. She looked so ashamed of me. I flipped." He shook his head.

"I forged a letter to Snape from Selena. It told him to meet her at the whomping willow when he returned from the hospital ward. I gave the instructions to enter. There was a kink in my plan. Selena really did stop by Slytherin House to see Snape. She ran into Malfoy and he told her that he had gone to meet her. He showed her the letter. She and Malfoy realized it was a set up. They both ran to stop Snape. They ran straight into Lilly and James. Malfoy managed to give your dad a nasty shiner before the girls figured out what was going on. James told them he would deal with it. He saved Snapes life.", and added softly, "and Remus'"

Lee-Lee stood up and stood in front of Sirius. "You is bad!", she said glaring at him.

"I know." Sirius said sadly.

She eyed him and sat back down.

"So what happened to Selena?" Harry asked.

"She married Snape." Sirius said.

"Snapes married!" Harry cried. Harry knew this tidbit of information would give Ron nightmares for weeks.

"Yes, but." Sirius started.

"See is seeping." Lee Lee chirped from the floor.

Harry looked confused. "What?"

"There was an accident. She was hit by a muggle car. She has been in a coma for fourteen years. She is in St. Mungos." Sirius said sadly.

"Oh my God!" Harry cried.

Lee-Lee patted Harry's knee. "See is gonna wake up soon."

"Of course she is." Sirius said.

"That is why Snape went to Voldemort isn't it." Harry said, "But, if she is still in a coma why did he decide to spy for Dumbledore?"

"Well, it is complicated. Someone found out that Voldemort caused the muggle to hit her. He needed Snape, and he knew Snape wouldn't come willingly. Snape had a wife and a child on the way. Why would he risk all of that? So, Voldemort orchestrated a plan to take her out. He used Snapes anger to his advantage. Snape hated muggles, because one had taken her away. When he found out the truth he wanted to kill Voldemort, but he was to powerful. So, he went to Dumbledore. He was ready to go to Azkaban, but Dumbledore asked for his help. He became a very resourceful spy. Voldemort had no idea that Snape knew the truth. He knows now." Sirius added darkly.

"Who told Snape about Voldemort?" Harry asked.

"I don't know, but it is someone that Snape trusts. I do know that the person is spying for Dumbledore now. He will only talk to Snape. Not even Dumbledore knows who it is." Sirius said.

"Isn't that dangerous? What if aurors attacked them? If we don't even know who he is. he could be killed!" Harry said.

"Snape can't reveal who he is. There are spies everywhere. I know that who ever he is. he was enraged when he found out Voldemort was responsible for Selena's accident. He took it personally.-"; Sirius was interrupted by the front door opening.

Lee-Lee jumped up and rushed into her mothers arms.

Harry stood up expectantly. "Well?" He took them all in. They all seemed to be fine. Remus had a bit of a blush tinging his face, but they didn't look as if they had been involved in a battle.

Snape grinned and answered first. "Well, Coach Witherspoon is a werewolf, and a muggle. She was bitten two summers ago."

"She!?", Harry and Sirius cried.

***Once again thank you all for reviewing. My apologies for chapter eight. I don't understand why it did that.***
