Chapter 3: The Truth Is Not Always Easy
"I have a question Mr. Potter, didn't those Muggle relatives of yours ever teach you manners?" Snape said scornfully.
"What do you want sir?" Harry snapped.
Snape sneered. "Apparently not," he said. Harry sighed and looked away. He had no patience for the Potions Master right now.
"Sorry professor…" He said softly, "I'm just so confused! James Potter is my father- he has to be! Everyone tells me 'You look so much like your father.' If James Potter isn't my father, then who is? Even you professor, you always tell me that I am just as arrogant as my father, but this whole time you weren't even insulting James Potter!"
"You know Potter," Snape said quietly, "I'm normally not one to say self-deprecating things…" Harry's head snapped up at this.
"What? Wait-- you mean… No! You mean you?" Harry was lost for words. Snape closed his eyes and nodded silently. "But it's- it's impossible! You can't be! My- my mother, she loved James Potter, not you! She- she married James Potter!"
Snape heaved a heavy sigh before saying, "Potter, let me tell you a little story. Yes your mother loved James, and yes she did marry him, but she cared for him like he was the brother she never had. The only reason she married James was for her protection, and my own."
"What do mean sir?" Harry whispered.
"Are you sure you want to hear this Potter?" Snape questioned, "The truth is not always easy."
"Yes sir, I want to hear the truth. I need to hear the truth."
