New Resolutions Chapter Four Memories of the Past
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Snape's alarm clock was going off at 3:50. He looked at it before slowly getting out of bed. He walked into his study and grabbed the potions he need for Leah. He walked into Harry's room to check and make sure he was fine. Harry was asleep but Snape could tell maybe not so peacefully. He stood there for a few minutes before he turned and left to go to Leah's room.
"Leah" he said softly giving her a gentle shake.
"Um..." she said haft asleep.
"Time for your potions."
"Okay." She said sitting up.
She took the potions still not complete up. Snape smiled as she fell right back to sleep. He pulled the covers back over her and gave her a kiss.
Snape quietly slip back into Harry's room. He dragged a chair beside his bed and moved a piece of hair out of his face.
"I want this charm off you Harry. So I know what you really look like." Snape said running a hand though Harry's hair.
Snape could have stayed like that if it wasn't for someone.
"Severus?"
"Headmaster." Snape said moving his hand.
"Sirius and Remus just told me something interesting. It seems that it was Leah and Draco who help them and the others get out of Malfoy's."
Snape closed his eyes. "That's why he did this. They help them."
"I'm guessing the same thing." Dumbledore said.
"I don't see how they put up with it all." Snape said looking at Harry.
"You did a good job at it." Spoke Dumbledore softly. "He's starting to look like you."
Snape's head shot up at him.
"I went to your study to find you and found Lily's letter."
Snape nodded and looked at Harry.
"I can't believe that Lily would keep this from me. She promised to have no secrets between us and she never told me. I should have known something was wrong when she asked me to stop spying."
"But the thing that had got me confused is how did you know that he is?" asked Dumbledore.
"Leah."
"Leah? How does she know?"
"She saw him find out about two years ago and she is now just telling me."
"A premonition?"
"Yes."
"She's a Seer?"
"Yes."
Dumbledore seemed to be stunned for a minute but recovered. "When are you planning on telling Harry?"
"He doesn't have to know. Right now at least." Snape said.
"It's your choice Severus."
"I think that it is good to earn his trust first."
"Maybe."
Snape shook his head. He wasn't really sure what was right.
"If you will excuse me." Snape said.
Dumbledore nodded and Snape left Harry's room. He returned to his own and sat down on his bed. His eyes drifted over to his nightstand. He closed his eyes before he pulled out the dark blue album.
The first picture was of them, sitting under a tree near the lake. That is when she made her promise to him.
FLASHBACK
"Come on Severus. Just one picture...please."
"No!"
"Please..."
"No!"
"It's for a good reason."
"NO!"
"For me..."
Severus glanced over at Lily. She was giving him one of her puppy dog looks that she had mastered against him. He couldn't turn her down and she used it against him.
"Fine...just one."
"Together then."
She lend in against Severus and held the camera away from them both and snapped the picture.
"Thanks...now I see dots." Severus said.
"You will live. If you don't, I'll die too." She said.
Snape gave her a smile and lend back against the tree.
"Severus..." began Lily but stopped.
"What is it Lily?"
"We are best friends right?"
"Yes my tiger lily."
She gave a smile at his nickname for her.
"I say that we make a pact...a promise to each other." She said.
He looked over at her. "What kind of promise?"
"Okay...here it goes. I, Lillian Hayden Evans, promise you, Severus Mikel Snape, that I will always be your best friend and tell you ever thing. No secrets will be kept between the both of us. Do you, Severus, agree to his pact/promise."
"I, Severus Mikel Snape, agree to you, Lillian Hayden Evans, to keep nothing between either us and to be your best friend. No matter what."
Lily stuck out her hand and they shook on it.
END OF FLASHBACK
He had thought that they both had kept their promise. But he was the first to break it by not telling her that he became a spy. Then she didn't tell him about Harry. He flipped through the pages and the photo of them sleeping at headquarters. Sirius decided to take the photo.
FLASHBACK
FLASH
Severus pulled out of his sleep, setting up straight bring Lily with him. He saw Sirius standing beside them with a camera.
"Sirius William Black, can't you ever just let people alone and don't act like you don't know what I am talking about." Snapped Lily, rubbing her eyes.
"I would never bother you and your...um...pet." Scowl Sirius.
Severus narrowed his eyes at him and gave him a glare.
"Grow up Siri, please." Said Lily standing up. "Oh, yeah, I want that picture."
"Yes ma'am."
"Don't push me Sirius. It is to early."
"Yes ma'am."
"Shut it."
"Yes ma'am."
"I'm going to hex you."
"I would like to see you try." Said Sirius with a smile.
Lily looked at him before she knocked him to the ground. Severus smirked at them before he walked into the kitchen. The last thing he heard was Sirius cursing about not messing up with hair.
END FLASHBACK
Severus had to smile at remembering all the times Lily and Sirius would get into fights like that. He always did seem to act like a bother to Lily. The last picture that was taken with them together was the day that she left. The argument took place right after James and Sirius left.
FLASHBACK
"Severus?" came Lily soft voice.
"Hey tiger lily, what is it?" asked Severus looking up from his desk.
Lily walked into the room and sat down in one of the chairs.
"Lily, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Can you do something for me?" she asked.
"What is it?"
"Stop spying."
"Lily, I can't. Albus need me to much."
"Please Severus."
"I can't Lily. I just can't."
Lily looked at him and ran out of the room. Severus got up and ran after her. He found her in the bed, packing.
"Lily, what are you doing?" asked Severus looking at her.
"I can't stay Severus. I just can't."
"Lily, don't do this. Don't leave me."
"I have to."
"Why?"
"I just have to. I can't say why but I have to." She said on the break up tears.
"Lily, I please don't just leave with out a reason."
"I have a reason but I can't tell you."
Severus watched her throw more clothes into her bag and shriek it down. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and left the house. Leaving Severus to stunned to move.
END OF FLASHBACK
Now, though, he knew why she had left. If she had told him the reason why she wanted him to stop, he would have stopped in a heartbeat. It was too late now. He wonder if he had stopped be a spy that she would had survived the war. He shook the thought out of his mind and looked at the pictures of Harry.
He only wished that he could have been there when he was growing up. He touched the picture of Lily and Harry under the big oak tree and he seemed to have that memory come into his mind even though it wasn't his.
FLASHBACK
"Look there is a dragon and there is a centaur." Said Lily pointing to the picture in My First Magic Book.
"Blue!" Said Harry excitedly.
"Yes, like Blue, your dragon." Said Lily with a smile.
She saw a flash go off and looked up to see James with a camera.
"James!" she said with a smile.
"It was a perfect picture moment. I couldn't pass it up." He said with a smile.
"Daddy!" said Harry giggling.
"Hey Harry." Said James.
Lily frowned at that. She looked between them.
"You got that look on your face again Lily." Said James.
"Sorry James. It hard to see him call you dad when your not. But I guess you are. Maybe not biologically but you been there for him...and me." She said looking at him.
"I know that you miss Snape and I know that I will never be the guy you want but I glad that you new that you could to me if you needed someone Lily." Said James.
Lily gave a smile. They gave a kiss but Harry made them pull about.
"BROOM!"
END OF FLASHBACK
Snape gave a smile. No matter how much James wanted it to be true, Harry wasn't his. He finished looking though the book. It still had pages to be filled up. But there was not Lily to finish them but there was Harry.
Snape right hand went to his left forearm. He mark was burning. He glanced over at the clock. It was only 4:30. He hoped that he would be back in time to give Harry his potions. He slid on his death eater robes and headed out his door.
"Severus, step forward." Said the Dark Lord.
Severus slowly stepped forward.
"I have learn that Potter is staying at Hogwarts. Why haven't I learned of this sooner?"
"My Lord, I haven't had the chance to get away. Dumbledore been watching me and bugging me to make potions for the boy."
"Do what he says. Keep the boy alive. Once he is strong, you will bring him to me."
"Yes my Lord."
"You may step back."
Severus bowed and then turned back to the rows of death eaters. He caught the eye of Lucius and if looks could kill, Lucius would be dead.
Like hell I'll bring my son to you.
Snape walked into his study and grabbed Harry's potions. He hadn't even changed out of his death eater's robes when he was doing this. He walked into Harry's bedroom and found that he had kicked off all of the covers but he was shivering, so he couldn't have been cold. The only conclusion that he could think of was he had another bad dream.
He walked over to him and gave him a gentle shake.
"Harry..."
"...um..."
"Time for potions."
"Alright."
Harry opened his eyes and sat up. He took the potions that Snape had handed him.
"What was your dream about?" asked Snape.
"How do you know about that?"
"I didn't. I thought but you just proved it right. So, what was it about?"
Harry looked at him before he gave in.
"My uncle beating me."
"Would you like a dose of Dreamless Sleep Potion?"
"That would help."
Snape got up and went back to his study and grabbed the potion. He returned to see Harry pulled up into a ball.
"Harry?"
"I was just think about the dream."
"Here, take this. It will help."
Harry muttered a thank you and fell to sleep before his head hit the pillow. Snape pulled a chair up beside Harry's bed again and watched him sleep.
Those muggles are going to pay.
