Chapter 33

"I was a young girl in love and the boy I loved decided to join the Death Eaters so I told him that I wanted to go with him. Despite my better judgment."

"What happened?" Harry asked, intrigued by his aunt's story.

"He and I both decided that we no longer wanted to be involved when Voldemort had innocent children killed. I went into hiding in the muggle world and Dumbledore wanted to have a spy so he had S..."

"You were in love with Snape?!" He asked obviously somewhere between shocked and disgusted.

"Harry don't be so surprised. You saw us at Hogsmead together."

"Well I had just thought that since you were both in Slytherin together that you hung around together."

"It's more than just being Slytherin Harry." Alex said softly.

"Okay, this is one thing I don't need to have more information about." Harry said.

"Right. I trust that you'll believe me now about knowing a thing or two about going up against Voldemort."

"He doubted that fact Alex?" Severus asked, entering the room and sitting down in the open seat next to Harry.

"Well no one is really supposed to know about my past Sev." She said, slightly amused by Harry's confused expression. "Harry its very important that nobody knows what we speak of here. So no calling me aunt infront of others besides Professor Snape and Dumbledore. Alright?"

Harry nodded, he was truly dumfounded by everything he'd just learned. "I need to go... uhm I have to finish some homework before the feast. See you later Pro--- Aunt Alex." Harry said with an awkward smiled before rushing from the room.

"Come on love, we got to get ready for the feast and the ball." Alex said, grabbing her wand and opening a magical wall behind her that led to their chambers.

"I rather like you calling me professor." He grinned, snaking an arm around her waist and pulling her close.

"Me too. Now hurry up Professor Snape."

ARE WE ALL READY FOR A PARTY!!
