Disclaimer : I still don't owe Severus and my birthday is soon by the way,
you know the present I want (oh and I don't own the rest HP world)
Seven years in seven seconds: Albus Dumbledore Remus Lupin, a link
This isn't the night, he leaves them at the infirmary I sighed feeling relieved, but that only last three minutes
"so what's up now, Snivelly?" A very well known voice hit the potions master to be He would love to run but he's not a coward so he turns and simply says "how many times I must tell you that my name is Severus S E V E R U S!"
"Snivellus, yeah we know that" James mocks, Pettigrew is laughing loudly, I can see the veins of Severus' head boiling he really doesn't want to fight, he would love to be their friend, he's worried about Lupin
"my God Snivellus, this is a joke, we're trying to make you relax!" Sirius says, he locks eyes with James "Perhaps we haven't told him a good joke...or maybe he just doesn't have a sense of humor"
Sense of humor?!? What the hell is wrong with them?, Severus is afraid, he doesn't want to use his wand, the memory of his father using the cruciatus curse on him is too much to bear but he, however has been practising, and reading a lot of dark arts
"In that case I think we need to make something special to make him laugh" James considers pointing at him with his wand "Rictusempra!" Severus falls on the floor convulsing with laughter, his eyes however, are crying anger tears, he was just passing by, he didn't even speak to them, why are they being this way to him?
The effect of the spell ends he stands up with such anger he's trembling, there he is James Potter the pride of his parents the over kissed and hugged spoilt brat Severus wonders if the Potters are proud of his son humiliating him and yet, he sees the image of his own father complimenting Potter for what he's doing to him, the same of his flesh, with that image in mind Severus yells a mixture of swearwords and hexes that leave Potter on the floor panting, his lip bleeding......and Professor Flitwick jumps on scene "Snape what are you doing? You just ....Well since the head of Slytherin isn't here I'll take 10 points from your house and take you to the headmaster, he'll know what 's the right detention for you"
"but...but.."
"No buts," Flitwick says "follow me" He follows the head of Ravenclaw house with the laughs of the marauders in his ears I am mumbling some curses and hexes, if I didn't know that Sirius and James grew up and did good things......yet at this very moment I consider a good thing that Black will spend 12 years in Azkaban.... a crystal tear...Severus tries to hide it I make a stupid attempt to wipe it, the tear is still there but he smiles....what is there to be smiling at? Oh, Electra Johnson passes by"
We're now at the headmaster's office... looks amazing, young Severus is really scared as Dumbledore comes in. Less old equally powerful
"Please sit down, Severus" He obeys a bit scared I stand next to him the Headmaster locks his eyes with those onyx like beauties Severus owns, I daresay he's using his legilimens skills on the scared boy. Silence is such that I can heard the squid swimming under the moonlight finally the headmaster speaks
"I hope you understand that Professor Flitwick only saw the last part of the tiff, so he did what he should nothing against you I assure you Mr. Potter and Mr Black will get detention for it."
Severus can't not believe his ears he knows that Dumbledore had just break into his mind, but he doesn't care. The headmaster stands up and approaches to him, he touches Severus' shoulder affectionate "They are not bad boys they just don't know, they don't understand that people their age is suffering, they'll come around"
The potions master to be tried to hide the tears but Dumbledore keeps talking "Don't do it, you must let it out, it's okay to feel, is what makes us humans, what splits us from the beasts, you can cry here, I'm not judging you, on the contrary, I think it takes a lot of courage to let your feelings out"
The young man cries for all the years he has lived. for the lonelyness he feels, for the humiliations passed at home and school, for his ghostly mother, for his awful father, I wish he could feel me that way I could hold him and comfort him, offering my shoulder to cry one, but he doesn't see me, or hear me, for crying out loud he does not know who I am, I probably wasn't born or was a baby. However, Dumbledore takes over for me and I can't do anything but smile as finally Severus Snape is hugged in a parental way, my gratitude is beyond words but is nothing compared to what Severus feels at the moment. A love that will last years., sealed with Dumbledore 's words "I'll be always here for you, only a knock or an owl away"
Another evening, Severus looks a bit older and Remus looks like....hell in lack of a better word to describe him he's walking along to the whomping willow, Madam Pomfrey goes behind him, its sunset, Snape blinks and Lupin desappears He looks puzzled, and he's really concerned I look through the window next to him so we both jump insurprise when we hear a hoarse voice "Wondering how did moony dessapeared behind the womping willow? Want to know where he goes? How is that the willow doesn't hurt him?" Severus turns I bite my lip " It's easy Snivellus, James and I had done it a couple of time, all you got to do is pick a stick and press the knot on the root" Sirius Black leaves smirking
Severus is considering the point, that sounds simple, and perhaps if he meets Lupin he can clear a few things up, maybe they can't become best friends, but at least Lupin can convince The others to leave him alone I would love to tell him that is a lost cause and that he's risking his life, but a voice inside my mind insists that not only is useless but this is meant to be I took a deep breath and follow him out of the castle. As we walk toward the willow its becoming darker, the moon shines gorgeously but its not silver shine......is it just me or the moon has a red shade? Well, I don't know what time of year we are; He finds the large wand from the willow itself I reckon, and touches the knot the tree stands still I see his eyes deep in amazement. he takes a deep breathe a gets in I look over the castle to see if James Potter is coming but he's not in sight, just because I know I'm safe I follow him I can hear his heart beating fast the tunnel is dark so he takes out his wand and whispers "Lumos!" he stops and I know why when we he hear a painful howl Severus is panting his eyes show fear, however he keeps walking, and trembling. This wait for me is eternal, but I feel such a relief when I hear footsteps Severus does to but instead of stop and confront he runs to Lupin I hear Potter's voice panting "Snivellus stop..."
Snivellus what an idiot he's encouraging the boy to go further with it can't James see he's trying to prove himself he's brave and doing something to help Lupin? Of course he can't see him, he's innocent I grant, he doesn't know about pain and humiliation .
"SEVERUS; PLEASE!" finally ! I think. Severus stops frozen, which allows James to reach us "don't go any further, is not safe" James puts a hand on his ribs panting, I can tell he's having pain for running Severus hesitates "what do you mean is not safe? Black said you've done it a couple of times"
"yes" James says hesitating as well he decides not to tell Severus the truth "look Severus, we do it okay? But for you is too dangerous, I know we're not friends but trust me on this one"
For you is too dangerous?!? That phrase hits Severus like a hammer, why is that Potter thinks he's a pansy boy , a good for nothing, why is he acting like his father?! No that's too much, he wants to prove them wrong, prove the whole world wrong his voices irradiates furry when he speaks "What makes you think you're better than me Potter? Bloody hell if its harmless for you is harmless for me, I might not be popular or considered the best student of my house, but I am not weak nor a squib either!"
"Severus, please, you don't understand don't go," James is begging Severus has a wave of satisfaction growing inside him "What's the matter Potter ? you're not afraid of me showing your friends I'm not the weak boy you think I am now do you?"
"Idiot! " James says loosing his patience "I'm doing you a favor" But Snape just laughs and keeps going James pulls him "you can't go"
"You're not doing me any favor you just don't want me to prove there's nothing special about you!" he's loosing control of himself, deep down he considers this his opportunity to restore himself from the cruciatus curse at his home
James pulls out his wand "please, keep your voice down or he'll hear us"
"who? Your friend? LUPIN!" he spats, we hear a major growl and another howl
"Quit it, Severus I beg you I don't care what you think I'm saving your life"
"he's telling you the truth, look the end of the tunnel!" I loose my patience, I know he is not listening to me but I got carried away
Severus looks at the end of the tunnel he saw Lupin the werewolf, he recognizes it 's not A real wolf and backs away he locks his eyes with James, moony is approaching...James shouts "run, I'll stop him, don't ask just run" even when that's not meant for me I run, I don't care if Prongs appears I can head Severus is running behind me, we come out, the head master is waiting for him, with Sirius next to him
"a werewolf" Severus informs Dumbledore his eyes irradiate fury toward Sirius James comes out now "are you okay Mister Potter?" Dumbledore asks Severus feels betrayed when James nods Dumbledore simply says "come with me , Severus"
We're back at his office "I know that you feel terrible about what happened tonight, Severus and by that I mean I know it all" but he doesn't have to remark it, we know what does he mean "all I can ask you is not to tell anyone what you found out, I have my reasons for doing that, I trust Remus as much as I trust you" he gives Severus a cup of soothing potion He's not judging or scolding, in fact he's not mad, his voice is even sweet...Severus just nods, hating the marauders from now on, but feeling himself special because he's keeping Dumbledore 's secrets..
Thanks for those who reviewed... Mac, love, I already answered you , Pen d Fox, you'll find out eventually, I'm glad you liked it!! Hope you enjoy this one as well, we're almost out of Hogwarts
