Sorry about the huge update delay...I know I promised to a long, long, time
ago...but I forgot I was even writing this story...So, without further delay:
Chapter 2: Mission Immoderate
At 2:27 am Harry Potter was awoken by some rather interesting sounds outside his cupboard.
"Ouch! Sirius, that's my foot!"
"Sorry Remus..."
"That's quite alright."
"Black, Lupin, shut up! We're not supposed to draw attention to ourselves!"
"Right, sorry Severus."
"Take your own advice Snape, he's my Godson."
"Yes, but he'll be staying at my manor."
"Now Severus, we're all staying, remember?"
"Remus, how could he forget? I mean, both of us staying in that old house. Surely it's a wet dream come true."
"Sirius!"
"Hehehe...isn't that right Snape?"
"My house elves are going to poison you Black."
"Behave you two. We have to find Harry and get out of here in about 20 minutes."
At hearing Remus speak of his escape, Harry tried to quietly draw attention to himself. He knocked lightly on his cupboard door and whispered, "Guys, in here!"
Sirius walked over to the cupboard and asked, "Harry, are you in here?"
"Yes!" Harry exclaimed, "Unlock it and let me out Sirius."
Sirius spent 5 minutes trying to find the lock before Severus became overwhelmed with impatience, sighed, and cast alohamora to open the door.
"Alright Harry? Bloody hell, you look like shit! What've those muggles done to you?" Sirius nearly yelled.
Harry smiled, "I'm fine. Vernon has a heavy hand after a few drinks...So, I take it we're leaving?"
Sirius nodded and helped Harry get his stuff. Remus cast a silencing charm on the Dursleys' rooms, and Severus removed all the wards on the Dursleys' house. In 10 minutes they were ready to leave the Dursley residence forever.
"Mr. Potter, I do hope you have everything, because once we leave, no one will be coming back." Severus warned.
Harry nodded and replied, "No worries Snape, I wouldn't put that kind of trouble on you. I've got everything I need."
Remus intervened before Severus could reply, "Alright then. I'll take Harry's stuff, Sirius will take Harry, and Severus – you get to cover our tracks."
Both Sirius and Severus made a sound of agreement. Remus picked up Harry's stuff and apparated to Snape Manor with a resounding pop.
Sirius looked at Severus. Harry noticed an evil glint forming in his godfathers eye, but could do nothing to stop what happened next...Severus opened his mouth to ask Sirius what he was gaping at, but before the comment could be said, Sirius kissed Severus. Before anything more could be done, Sirius grabbed Harry and apparated away, leaving a very stunned Severus Snape standing in the Dursleys' living room.
Casting obliviate on the sleeping muggles, Severus swore revenge and apparated home. All the while a pair of red eyes had been watching the three and their liberation of the Boy who lived...and through them, Albus Dumbledore saw everything.
