Chapter 13: The Truth
Malfoy's head sagged on his shoulder. He knew all along that this had been driving Snape crazy that Molly Weasley had never told her seven children that he had once been married to her. Of course, the marriage only lasted long enough to get annulled.
Years and years ago, back at Hogwarts, Snape had been madly in love with Lily Potter. She had always stuck up for him, even if he was never nice to her back. There was even one time in the Hufflepuff common room where he had seen her eyeing him from across the room. Of course later he had found out that she was completely wasted on butterbeer and weed but he had felt something special with her. Something he had never felt with the slutty girls from Slytherin before.
"You're that tall, dark, handsome guy from Ravenclaw. You know the one with the tattoos that my friends were talking about," Lily Potter slurred her words as she leaned into Snape. Snape gulped and looked down at her with wide eyes. He was about to say something rude to her when he was stopped by her touch. Lily was reaching inside Snape's robes. He backed up a bit and she smiled. "I have weed. In my room," Lily nodded her head to the door. She tripped over someone and laughing she waved to Snape. "C'mon!" Snape walked steadily toward her. Confused as he was, Lily was his one true love and he would never throw this opportunity away.
They walked down the hallway toward Gryffindor Tower. She was tripping and falling everywhere. Several times Snape had to help her walk up flights of stairs. She took his hand gently and even Snape could not say something rude to her at the moment. She led him told him to wait in the common room, which was completely empty. Snape sat in a chair near the fireplace. Ten minutes passed before Lily returned. She was not carrying the weed, pipe, or a bong. Snape looked at her confused and she giggled. "So Mr. Mysterious, where were we?" Lily practically fell on top of Snape in the chair. Snape was disgusted in her but at the same time he was fully aroused. She reached her hand into Snape's pants and giggled into his ear. Snape scooted under the weight of Lily. She kissed him on the mouth and as soon as Snape was getting used to it. she passed out. Her full weight was pressing on him and he shook her shoulder. His right hand was trapped underneath his leg and her body. He shook her again and her head flopped to the side. She would have slipped right out of the chair if not for her arms, which were wrapped around Snape's neck.
The door to the common room opened and Snape panicked. He slumped in the chair behind Lily Potter's unconscious body. There were four boys entering the room. Snape could hear they're excited voices. "So where was she, Prongs? C'mon you know she's just teasing you! You've been nothing but an arrogant little. Ouch!" James Potter punched Sirius Black in the arm. "I'm just saying, she's probably not interested. Hey! There she is!" Snape breathed in an enormous breath. Sirius started to walk over to Lily and Snape but Remus Lupin grabbed his arm. "She's with someone!" Lupin hissed. Sirius grinned at Lupin and looked over at James. James was not looking at Sirius though; he was watching Lily lying on top of some guy. James walked over to the chair and cleared his throat. Lupin shook his head and walked over to a table and sat down. Peter Pettigrew watched Lupin but decided to stay standing next to Sirius. He was all the while watching in awe.
Sirius looked at Peter, back at James, shook his head, and walked over to the chair as well. "Lily?" James asked. Lily did not move. She lay there limply. Snape's breaths were coming in short. He was paralyzed. If James and Sirius found out it was he who was under the potential girlfriend of one of the most popular and arrogant Gryffindor students at Hogwarts, he would be dead. Simple as that, dead. James shook Lily's shoulder. Her arms fell softly from around Snape's shoulders and she slumped to the ground, still unconscious. Snape's eyes grew wide and he leapt up from the chair and bolted for the door. James turned on his heel and was about to go after him. "Snape?" asked Peter quietly. Lupin stood up from the table and watched James and Sirius steadily. They were walking toward the door. Lupin rushed in front of them. "You are only going to get yourselves into big trouble. Besides, look at Lily's condition," Lupin said. "Snively. How could she have done this to me?" James kicked the wall next to him.
Snape gulped as much air as he could bear and heaved and convulsed with shuddering sobs when he reached his Slytherin room. He was lucky he got out when he could.
Harry looked over at Ron. He was paler than the time he had thrown up slugs. Ron closed his eyes and swallowed hard. It made him gag again. Hermione had scooted as close to Harry as possible. Fred was in such a horrible state of shock that he could not even blink. Lupin coughed and Fred blinked. Snape looked as if he was about to cry but he shook himself and stood up straighter. Harry had no idea how to feel about this newfound information consisting of his own mother and his psycho Potions teacher, whom he loathed, Severus Snape. "I remember that," Lupin said softly. Hermione's mouth dropped open. Everyone stared at Lupin. It had been the first time Lupin had talked since he spit in Snape's face. "You do?" Snape asked. "Yeah. I do, and that's not the way it went," Lupin said matter of factly.
Lupin stared at the group of people looking at him dumbfound. He had started remembering things during Snape's story. He remembered Snape and his friends and Hogwarts. He remembered that story as well but it was definitely different than what Snape had told. "Yeah. I do, and that's not the way it went," Lupin said matter of factly. Snape raised his eyebrow and gave Lupin a cold stare. "What do you mean, that's not the way it went. Of course that is how it went," Snape glared at Lupin and gave him a look that said 'Don't-Say- Anything-Stupid'. Lupin just glared back at him. There was a loud thump behind them. Malfoy was pulling at his ropes again. Lupin shook his head and smiled. "No. The story did indeed start off in the Hufflepuff common room, but from there on you are totally mistaken," Lupin stared at Snape then at the kids. He straightened in the chair as best he could.
"It was the Get Dressed Like Muggle Sex Objects To Get Screwed Party. James and Sirius had talked me into going, and even dressing up. Well if you call wearing a mattress strapped to your back, in only boxers, a costume. You, Snape, had been in your normal attire, no surprise there, and you had been eyeing Lily Potter, all night. Back then of course she was still Lily Evans. She was dressed as a sexy muggle doctor and deep in conversation with James. You wouldn't take your eyes off her all night. I remember the first hour there I got sucked in by a bunch of Ravenclaw seventh years. They invited me to take a hit off their blunt. I had never smoked weed before. In fact I was a little scared. After just one hit I took another, and another. I was pretty high by the time James went to get more drinks for Lily and him. You eyed Lily and walked over to her. You whispered in her ear and lead her out of the room. "She was very drunk and probably didn't realize who she was leaving with, but let me tell you there were plenty of strange looks at you. Who would have thought you could score with Lily? It's not that she was slutty. She wasn't. She was just beautiful."
Snape gave Lupin a glare and twirled his wand between his long, skinny fingers. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Fred were all listening intently. Harry kept glancing at Snape with a mean glare.
"Anyway. James came back and when Lily was gone he searched the whole room. The entire time this happened I sat back and kept taking hits. One girl even tried to have sex with me. She was straddling me and kissing my neck. I barely acknowledged she was there. James walked over to Sirius who was trying to pick up a small group of Hufflepuff girls dressed in pink lingerie. They were triplets and they just kept giggling at the stupid things Sirius would say. James pulled Sirius over and apparently told him what the deal was. They looked around the room and spotted Wormtail sitting at a table playing quarters with some Gryffindor second years. They walked over to Peter, Sirius reluctantly, and pulled him up out of his chair. Peter looked from Sirius to James and then pointed to me. I must have been a big shock to them because I was completely stoned and had some slutty fifth year Slytherin massaging my chest and trying to unbutton my pants. The three of them walked over to us and tapped the girl on the shoulder. She looked up at them and smiled. She slid off me and licked her lips hungrily at the sight of James and Sirius. "Back to the heart of this story. James, Sirius, Peter, and I made our way as quickly as possible to the Gryffindor common room where we found Lily passed out on the floor. She wasn't alone though. You were on top of her pulling her costume off. She was completely out and you were going to rape her."
Harry's mouth dropped open and he and Fred looked up at Snape with rage. Ron still looked very sick and Hermione was terrified. Lupin glared at Snape. Snape glared at Lupin. "Your judgment was impaired, Remus. You could have been hallucinating," Snape said quietly dismissing Lupin. "You know it's true! Stop lying to them. You're only hurting yourself, you greasy old git!" Lupin said angrily.
Snape glared at Lupin and rushed to the other side of the room with a flick of his robes. Hermione whimpered and put her head on Ron's shoulder. Ron gulped. Harry glared at the ground, then at Lupin. "Why had you never told me this?" he asked. "What was I supposed to say? It wasn't my business to say anything. It was just something dumb that teenagers do," Lupin answered staring at Harry. He looked down at the floor and Snape entered with a loud BANG! Snape threw a woman down to the floor. She yelped and lowered her head. "Tonks?" Harry asked cautiously. "QUIET!" roared Snape. He pulled her up by the hair and threw her against a wooden crate. Snape glared at her and she glared right back. "Don't give me that look! LOOK INTO HIS EYES AND CONFESS!" Snape pointed to Lupin. "I don't know what you're talking about," Tonks looked down to her left. "TELL HIM!" Snape roared. Tonks looked up and glared. "I will not. I cannot. There is nothing I can do to change it," Tonks whispered. She looked back down at the ground. Snape looked infuriated. "If you won't do it. I will," Snape turned and walked out the door again. Tonks jumped up and ran over to Lupin. "Oh my god! Hunny, Remus, baby, whatever he says is a lie. You have to believe me," she was stroking his hair and had her forehead against his. Lupin opened his mouth to speak but she rushed over to the four kids and began pulling at the ropes. "They're bound by spell. I don't have my wand!" she stood up and stared around the room. "Malfoy? Draco Malfoy!" She rushed over to Malfoy and pulled the tape off his mouth. He breathed in deeply. She brushed his ruffled hair back. "He's told them the story but he lied. Lupin told the real story and now he's gone to retrieve." The door on the far wall opened and Snape stormed in with an unconscious redhead. "Bill?" Ron gulped.
