A/N: Will I ever finish this fic, course I will it is all mapped out in my head, hey to my fave person on fanfiction hpfanatic04.

Chapter 12.

"Professor I..." Said the voice that belonged to none other than Severus Snape.

"Why have you come her Severus?" Asked Dumbledore sure he already knew the answer.

"I hate the dark lord professor!" Snarled Severus with nothing but honesty reflected in his eyes with what seemed to be anger a rage like no other. "I have recently opened my eyes to the evil behind his plans, I wish for redemption. I want to change and I offer my service to you in whatever way, shape or form." This was very peculiar indeed, the first Snape to go against the dark arts and to try and lead a life other than the cruel arrogant life lead by so many others in the Snape blood line driven by the idea that only Pure Blood wizards were worthy of studying magic learning the ancient arts and skills it had left Dumbledore utterly speechless in a good way of course.

"Severus I believe in redemption and second chances but I'm afraid I will have to test your loyalty." Said Dumbledore seriously.

"I see what is it you wish me to do? Bring you the head of a death eater on a silver platter?" Asked Severus hoping dearly that this is not what he had to do he wanted his killing days to be over, fast!

"No, no my boy. I would never ask something so horrific unless it was absolutely necessary. No I only ask you to let me use Veritaserum on you and let me enter your thoughts and we will talk more later." Said Dumbledore slightly amused at the look of gratefulness on his former troubled pupils face.

"Of course." Said Severus looking relieved he was not asked to kill even if it was for a good purpose.

"Drink this please." Said Dumbledore indicating a large goblet of what seemed to be water.

Severus turned to face the aging Headmaster picked up the goblet, drank it in three gulps and nodded.

"What is your purpose of coming here today?" Asked Dumbledore.

"To redeem myself of the things I have done in my life, to help you in overthrowing the dark lord." Said Severus.

"Very well, have you been sent here to try and fool me by anyone?"

"No."

"Very well than will you now allow me to enter your thoughts?" Asked Dumbledore.

Snape nodded.

"Ready, 1,2,3 Legilimens." Boomed the voice of Dumbledore.

It felt as if someone was trying to squeeze through his brains lobes the dark lord had of course tried to enter his mind many times but Severus was a highly skilled Legilimens he only showed him what he thought would make the dark lord happy and that was not to far into his thoughts. Dumbledore it seemed was passing each memory, he had access to each of his traumatizing child hood memories. His father beating his mother, James Potter and crew picking on him, trying to hex James Potter whilst he was in deep conversation with Lily Evans. Lucius Malfoy introducing Severus to Lord Voldemort. There was Severus watching out of the shadows as Lily and James had just climbed out of the heads portrait hole, Laeem talking to Lily. Lord Voldemort forcing Severus to prove his loyalty by raping an 11- year-old muggle child. The killing Severus was forced to participate in, the look of horror upon a muggle woman's face as Severus Snape murdered her newly born baby; he had gone home and broke down he was sobbing like mad he did not care that death eaters did not cry they did not reveal emotion at all. Suddenly he stopped his breathing became uneven and rough, he made his way up the circular stairs of Snape Manor into his parents room ripped the pictures of his father apart and screamed "You bastard I have become you!"

Severus had fallen to the floor he began to sob; he had truly become a wreck. He was trying to put behind him the life of horror and misery he had led.

"Enough!" Dumbledore said.

Snape tried to hide the fact that he was crying, he tried to wipe away the tears he did not want to appear to be a wimp in front of a man that was willing to give him a second chance, a new life.

"Severus do not try to hide your emotions you have wronged many people including your self, you are sorry that makes you good. You want a second chance to prove your worth that is that sets you apart from the death eaters you feel." Said Dumbledore.

"I killed a newly born baby! I woke up finally, a week after graduation that is when I killed her, I raped a girl just nights before. I had been in Voldemort's service a year before I left Hogwarts, I let that Jinni into the castle, and I let him haunt Lily. She was the only one that ever defended me to James, stood up for me even though I was a Slytherin. I was horrible to her I called her a mud blood." Said Severus helplessly. "It does not do to dwell on the past, it begins to consume us and we wallow in self pity and misery, you must accept it only than can you move on, accept what you have done. How do you wish to help us Severus?" Asked Dumbledore.

"I am offering to become a spy for your side in order to defeat the dark lord." Said Severus with uncertainty in your voice.

"You realise that this puts you in immediate danger, you will risk your life for the world?" Asked Dumbledore sensing the uncertainty coming from Severus.

"I realise this and it is no different from any other day with the dark lord, we constantly live in fear of displeasing him in any minor way therefore just being a follower put me in grave danger as soon as I joined." Said Severus now feeling confident and sure about his self. "I repeat I am more than willing to do what it takes to defeat the dark lord and try to save my self from what I fear I will undoubtedly become. The fear of becoming my father and causing others the misery I was forced to live through is indeed my greatest fear and I am intrusting you with that knowledge."

"I see, if you're sure than I can only say welcome my son. You are now forgiven." Said Dumbledore with such a smile of radiating warmth you could have sworn you were now indeed heating up.

"I must ask you sir, to keep this information a secret as it is well known amongst the death eaters that you have a spy amongst your number that we believe to be close to James Potter and Lily Evans." Said Severus gravely.

This brought Dumbledore back to his usually alert self. "You are sure?"

"Not 100% as the dark lord only tells those he needs to of his plans, but I am certain of the spy but as to how close he is to James Potter and his future bride, this remains to be discovered." Said Severus.

"Very well then Severus, I would like you to see what you can find out.

(A/N: Sorry guys for interrupting but if you want to see the dress Lily is wearing visit the page I made especially for your better picture of the dress. The page is on my profile page it wont let me put the link in for some reason in my story.)

It was James and Lily's wedding and she looked absolutely stunning, she was wearing the most beautiful dress Lily could ever imagine. Her dress was an A-line gown featuring a scallop neckline and was embellished with beading it was made out of a delicate Satin and it was white, Ivory with touches of gold. Her designer had truly out done herself she had to thank Madam Malkin who had offered to design it for her when she had gone to find dress robes for graduation just a month after James had proposed. Lily's hair was in curls that were placed carefully on top of her head and there was a beautiful tiara resting on her head that radiated her beauty. Her almond shaped eyes were filling up with tears but she fought them back because the little make up she had on her face would have been ruined. James gaped at her, mouth wide open as she made her way down the isle. Sirius noticing this put his hand underneath his best friends mouth and pushed it back up, Lily Evans dad came to a halt and handed Lily's hand to James Potter and said take good care of her as Lily's mother cried out of happiness.

"Shhh Victoria, Lily is nearly in tears we don't want her to cry as well." Said Lily's dad.

"I know I'll try Edward." Said Victoria.

Lily had insisted that James were a tuxedo and he had agreed saying that whatever made Lily happy is what made him happy. He wore a very stylish Black Tuxedo that looked excellent on him and really complimented hi hazel eyes.

"Wow this is finally happening and James looks gorgeous with that tux on, there's Dumbledore this is what it is supposed to be like not like that thing I had to go through under the imperious curse. This is what marriage is about spending the rest of your life with the person you love, with your friends and family around you Kat, Natz and Elli really outdid their selves on my hair.

Everyone went silent and sat down as Dumbledore ushered them to do so, he was wearing wizarding robes of a dark blue colour.

"I would just like to welcome you all speech making will be done later n in the party we have planned for Lily and James afterwards. We are all gathered here today to watch the beautiful event that is marriage. It should happen at least once in everybody's lifetime. It is for the joining of two souls that vow to spend the rest of their lives together, to support each other and to love each other despite events that may happen. If anyone has any objection for these two joining in magical matrimony speak now or forever hold your tongue. Peter shifted uncomfortably but said nothing staring determinedly at the wall "I have a problem with it" It was Miranda the Hufflepuff she looked slightly crazy. "He loves me you bitch let go of him, he's mine." She screamed. "Hagrid will you please escort Miranda outside of this hall. She still believes James was acting of his own free will in the middle of the Seventh year." Lily said almost sympathetically. "Settle down now everyone said Minerva McGonagall." "Do you James Potter will you take Lily Evans to be you're magically wedded wife?" There were a few gasps from the first row on the brides side, they were obviously muggles who would have the magical part of the ceremony magically modified out of their memories later on.

"I do." Said James grinning and than looking over to Remus who was smiling and than over to Peter who was looking very nervous, James put it down to Miranda's intrusion.

"Will you Lily Evans take James Potter to be your magically wedded husband?"

"I do," said Lily beaming.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Said Dumbledore happily.

James walked up to Lily and place a delicate kiss upon her lips. He whispered to her quickly "We'll do that later" and laughed.

Everyone made their way out of Hogwarts great hall into the Hogwarts grounds to take the wedding photos.
