(A/N: So did anyone wanna know why Faith was being hunted by Voldemort? You're about to find out.)

Chapter 32: A History lesson

"Have you made your decision yet?" The Healer asked walking into the room.

"I'd like to risk the surgery." Faith said. The Healer nodded and rose his wand, with a wave of it Faith was fast asleep. He then ushered Sirius out of the room and into the hall. He had a lot of work ahead of him.

Harry couldn't seem to sleep. His head felt like it was trying to tear itself apart and a thin ray of sunlight kept hitting his face no matter which way he turned. Groaning, Harry got out of bed and made his way down the hall and towards the Great Hall. As he passed the Divination room he noticed the door was wide open. Harry carefully stuck his head in and took a quick look around. That's when his eyes fell upon the cabinet which held the Pensieve. The cabinet door was open and Harry could see the reflection of the silvery liquid.

Taking a look around, Harry moved towards the cabinet. He took one last look around before losing himself in a memory of Faith's.

Harry stood in cold, damp grass that soaked through his trainers. Harry's could feel himself being pulled toward what he assumed was Faith because he couldn't see her face. As he stood there he noticed something very familiar about his surroundings. Suddenly he was snapped out of his own thoughts by Faith's thoughts entering his head. (A/N: Harry will be hearing all of Faith's thoughts. He will go any where she goes. I wrote this portion a long time ago without Harry being in it. So just understand that he is there, even if I don't mention it.)

Faith stood shivering in a Death Eaters circle. She wasn't sure if she was shivering because of the cold or the cold hearts surrounding her. Faith sighed, 'why did Voldemort always want to meet in this graveyard?' Faith thought. It was the same graveyard she had become a Death Eater in, all the Death Eater meetings were held here, everything was done at this damn graveyard. Faith shivered again, she looked around at the black cloaked

figures around her. She couldn't see any of their faces but knew all their names.

Faith heard the pop of someone apparating and felt her blood run cold. It wasn't Voldemort. In fact it was the last person Faith had wanted to see. Lucius Malfoy. Faith could feel her heart beating fast. If he saw her he would know for a fact she wasn't a Death Eater. Lucius was speaking to the others but Faith didn't hear a word of what he said. Lucius walked up to a Death Eater and pulled off his hood. Peter Pettigrew stepped forward and said 'Thomas Detean' Lucius nodded and Thomas put his hood back on. Lucius went to the second person and flipped the hood again Peter said the name. Faith could feel her heart beating faster and faster. It had been hard enough avoiding Peter but with Lucius taking off hoods it would definitely make things harder for Faith.

Lucius was only 10 people away from Faith. 'Heather Unfer' Peter said. Lucius's eyes bore into Heather's. In the blink of an eye his wand was out and he yelled 'Avada Kedavra!' Heather feel limp to the ground.

"Let that be a warning to all. Traitors and Spies will be dealt with only one punishment. Death." Lucius said.

Faith felt afraid. She had never felt this afraid in her whole life. If she died, there would be no way of avenging Lily and James. No way of ever seeing Sirius free from Azkaban. No way of ever seeing Harry. Faith felt for her wand which was cleverly stuck up in the sleeve of her robe. Lucius put a hand on the hood of Faith's robe. In one swift movement the hood was off and Lucius gasped.

"Faith!" He said pointing his wand at her. Faith tried to pull her wand out

of her sleeve but actually ended up throwing it across the graveyard.

"Oh shit." Faith said staring at Lucius who held a horrible smile on his face.

"Avada Ked-" Lucius yelled but Faith threw herself to her right knocking over several Death Eaters. As she hit the moist ground her hood flooped over onto her head.

'That was a move worthy of Sarah' Faith thought as she ran zigzagged towards her wand. A Death Eater grabbed her sleeve and caused Faith to fall just out of reach of her wand. Faith swung at the Death Eater who let go causing Faith to fall to the ground. Faith turned just in time to see Lucius reach down and grab her by the hair. He dragged her into the middle of the circle and placed her for all to see.

"This is what a spy looks like!" Lucius spat throwing Faith to the ground.Faith fell on her back and stared up at Lucius. Lucius pointed his wand at Faith and smiled. Faith could feel herself freeze up. She began to back away on her hands and feet, when she bumped into someone. Looking up she saw Severus.

"Severus." Faith croaked clutching to Severus's robes as she made an attempt to stand up.

Severus grabbed Faith by the shoulders and helped her up. He spun her around to face Lucius and held her in place.

"Severus no!" Faith whispered her voice cracking. Severus's grip tightened on Faith's arms.

"I just want to let you know. I'm going to enjoy this." Lucius said smiling.

"Hold her still Severus. The Dark Lord will reward you greatly." Lucius said pointing his wand at Faith's throat.

"Avada Kedavr-" Lucius started but Faith heard a pop and soon found herself at a muggle park.

Severus stood there still holding Faith by the shoulders and his grip lessened. Faith breathed heavily and several muggles stared at Faith and Severus. I mean it wasn't every day you saw two people dressed in black robes standing in the middle of a park on a sunny day.

"S-S-S-Severus" Faith said her breath coming out in shudders.

"I'm sorry." Severus said. Faith felt her knees buckle but Severus helped her stay upright. Severus spun Faith around to face him.

"Your going to need to be extra careful now. Voldemort's going to put a high price on your head." Severus said his eyes staring into Faith's.

"Both of ours." Faith said. Severus only nodded.

It was 2 days after Faith's ordeal in the graveyard. She had just bought a muggle house. It was nice and small, with a decent sized kitchen and green grass in the front and back. A path of flowers that needed much attention lined the walkway up to the door. It was perfect for someone living alone. Faith sighed heavily looking at all the packed up boxes in the house. She straightened her white tank top and turned when she heard the front

door open. Severus stood in the doorway and bright sunlight flooded in.

"I've told your neighbors that your trying to escape a abusive ex. If they see anyone suspicious hanging around they are supposed to call...who ever it is these blasted muggles call." Severus said.

"Thanks Severus. I guess I'll be living as a muggle...that'll take some getting used to." Faith said sighing.

"Yeah." Severus said softly. There was an awkward silence between the two.

"What are you going to do?" Faith asked breaking the silence.

"I'm going to Hogwarts." Severus said.Faith gave a slight smile and said

"Severus we graduated 7 years ago."

Severus smiled and said

"As a professor."

"Professor Snape..." Faith repeated to herself.

"I don't know sounds kinda fruity to me." Faith said teasingly. Severus gave a slight smile.

"Goodbye Faith." He said turning around and walking down her sidewalk.

"Goodbye Severus." Faith said closing the door and turning around to face the boxes.

Harry watched as Faith began to move various boxes and put stuff where she felt they belonged.

Suddenly Harry could feel something jerking him out of the memory. Harry found himself staring into the face of Severus Snape. Severus's lips were in a thin line and his face looked white with rage.

"Dumbeldore would like to see you. He needs to take you to Saint Mungos." Severus said through gritted teeth. Harry looked dazed, he nodded and quickly ran away from Severus and his death grip.

"So I've been told you looked into Faith's Memories." Sarah said to Harry as Harry came into the waiting room of Saint Mungos. Sarah sat next a sleeping Remus and Sirius was busy pacing and muttering to himself.

"Yes. Was Faith really a Death Eater?" Harry asked.

"Well Yes. But you'd have to hear the whole story to understand why she was Death Eater." Sarah said. Harry looked at her and motioned for her to continue.

"Well I guess it all started around the time Lily and James died…." Sarah started.

Faith stood in a room of Number 12 Grimmuald Palace. She was bent far over a

map conversing with Remus and Mad Eye Moody. The three were talking

about spots where possible Death Eater Meetings could be taking place.

Sarah was downstairs in the kitchen boiling water for tea. Suddenly a black owl came swooping in. The owl dropped the letter on the stove and Sarah quickly picked it up before it could catch fire. She quickly read it and then found herself running down the hall way towards Faith, Remus and Mad Eye. She thrusts open the door and Faith looks up from the Map she was examining.

"Lily and James have been attacked!" Sarah exclaimed.

"What!" Faith said in response.

"Sirius just sent an owl. He says that Peter Pettigrew was a traitor and told Voldemort where the Potters were. He went and attacked them!" Sarah said, her voice cracking and tears streaming down her face.

Faith immediately raised her wand and was gone with a popping noise. Remus rushed over to his wife who was in a fit of tears.

Faith arrived outside the Potter's small house. It was dark outside and the only light was the small porch light. Inside she could see a small flicker of light. Faith immediately prepared her wand and entered the house.

As Faith moved through the kitchen she could see a bottle on the floor with milk smeared over the floor. Foot prints led away from the milk and a small end table had been knocked over. Faith made her way up the small steep stair case and slowly walked down the hall towards Harry's room, her wand fully raised.

Faith burst through the room and pointed her wand at the person in the room. He spun around holding baby Harry.

"Sirius." Faith breathed in a sigh of relief when she saw Sirius holding Harry.

"Where are Lily and James? Are they ok?" Faith asked hysterically her voice cracking in several spots.

"I tried to stop Voldemort and Peter, but I was too late…" Sirius said his voice trailing off. His eyes looked blood shot and his cheeks were tear stained.

"What do you mean? Where are they?" She asked hysterically. That's when Faith noticed a small curl of red hair sticking out from the closet.

"Faith don't!" Sirius ordered as Faith moved towards the closet door. Faith didn't want to look. She didn't want to see the horror that lay behind the door. It was if Faith couldn't help herself she just kept moving towards the door. Slowly Faith reached out her hand towards the door of the closet. Sirius tried to set Harry in his crib fast enough for him to stop Faith. He was too late. Faith opened the door and let loose a blood curdling scream. Sirius instantly shut the door and turned Faith away as she sobbed into his shoulder. Suddenly there was a loud noise that stopped Faith's crying. A loud thud came from downstairs. The two froze and Sirius slowly reached for his wand.

"I'll be right back." He whispered.

"Don't" Faith pleaded grabbing onto his arm.

"I'll be right back I promise." Sirius said giving her a small smile and then moving quietly downstairs. Sirius moved slowly down the stairs, his heart was pounding so hard that he was sure the person could hear it.

Sirius held his wand high as he got closer to the object that made the noise. Sirius suddenly popped out from behind a corner, his wand fully raised.

"What do ya think yer doin'!" Hagrid yelled taking a step back.

"Hagrid, you surprised me…What are you doing here?" Sirius asked lowering his wand.

"Come ter get Harry. Dumbeldore's orders." Hagrid said shuffling his feet.

"Where are you going to be taking him?" Faith asked as she came into the room holding little Harry who was bundled up in a blanket.

"I believe hes gonna go to 'is 'unts and uncles." Hagrid said scratching his head. Faith and Sirius looked down sad. They knew that Dumbeldore was sending Harry to his aunts and uncles for a good reason, they just couldn't see what that reason was.

"Take my motorcycle." Sirius said as Faith handed the young Harry to Hagrid.

"Yer sure?" Hagrid asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Sirius said looking down at his feet. Hagrid then nodded and walked out the door.

"And then after that there was a bit of trouble…"Sarah said trailing off. Suddely Dumbeldore came into the room carrying a bowl. He was followed by Severus who did not look happy.

"I thought this might tell the story better." Dumbeldore said with a slight smile. He then handed the bowl to Harry. Harry uncovered it and saw it was the pensieve. Harry could feel a small jerking motion and found himself in yet another memory.

Remus, Faith and Sirius all stood in a room at Grimmuald Palace and looked to be in some sort of argument. Severus was seated off in a corner and he just sat with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Your Crazy!" Remus yelled.

"Am not! This is the only way to help Lily and James!" Sirius yelled back.

"By doing what? Becoming Death Eaters! What good will that do? How will you help them then? And do you honestly think it will work, that Voldemort won't notice you two!" Remus screamed, raising his hands high up in the air.

"Remus, we'll be careful. Really we will. Our plan will work. We'll be able to throw bigger wrenches in Voldemort's plans and stop him faster." Faith said stepping in between the two.

"Its impossible! You can't do it!" Remus roared. Sirius seemed to boil over and suddenly cried out saying

"You just don't want to help Lily and James. You just want to pass over their death like its NOTHING!"

Remus just went deathly pale. He then stormed out of the room and slammed the door. Sirius apparated with rage before anything else could be said. Faith was just left there.

Harry then saw for the second time Sirius being taken away to Azkaban. As the memories switched Harry found himself in a street way just outside the Ministry of Magic. It was dark out and all the street lights were out. Suddenly there was a loud popping noise and Remus and Faith appeared on the street. Remus sunk to his knees and was sobbing loudly. Faith sank down next to him.

"Remus on…we have to get out of here." Faith said tugging on his arm as the street lights came back on. Harry could see that Remus sitting on the street sobbing loudly and Faith desperately trying to tug on his arm. Her face was tear stained and there was the sound of running feet coming towards them.

"Remus PLEASE!" Faith said. As the feet got closer, Faith grabbed Remus tightly around the middle and tried to apparate with him. It failed the first time and they just remained sitting there but the second time it worked. Harry could feel a jerking motion as he switched to another memory.

Faith was dragging Remus into his bed at home. He lay in his bed with tears streaming down his face and his eyes shut in a restless sleep.

"I'm sorry Remus." Faith whispered before apparating.

Harry found himself apparating with Faith and was in a place he did not recognize. He was outside a house that was very tall and not very wide. Faith stood on the front porch and gave a quick knock. There was a pause and when no one came to the door Faith turned around to leave when suddenly the door opened. Standing there in the door frame was a younger looking Severus, with potion dust all down his front.

"Severus…S-S-Sarah's dead." Faith sobbed. Severus quickly ushered the sobbing Faith into his house and she sat on his couch. Severus knelt in front of her.

"First Lily and James died, and in the horrible way. H-H-Her face. Her face. I'll never forget her face." Faith sobbed loudly.

"Sirius was sent to Azkaban and I-I'm n-n-n-not allowed to see him. They keep him locked up with the D-d-dementors." She said continuing to sob.

"Lucius killed Sarah and has broken R…R…R-Remus's heart. Peter has betrayed us all. The world is falling apart Severus." Faith said sobbing into her hands.

"I want to be a d-d-d-deatheater. I want to s-s-stop him Severus. Voldemort needs to end." Faith cried as she looked up at him, Severus only nodded. He didn't know what to say.

"Its been a tough few months for you."Peter Pettigrew. said to the figure kneeling in front of him. The figure nodded.

"The Dark Lord applauds you on being 1 out of 5 who will join him. In the beginning there were 56. They are dead now. Too weak to join us. But you have proven yourself worthy. Extend you arm and let yourself join the Dark Lord forever." Peter said. The figure extended its arm and Peter, using the tip of his wand, burned the dark mark into their arm. The figure didn't even flinch.

"You may leave." Peter said with a wave of his hand. The figure rose and apparated. As soon as the figure was gone they threw back their hood. A gush of wind came by rustling Faith's hair and causing it to stick to her wet cheeks. She pulled back her sleeve and viewed the mark that lay there. She was repulsed by the mark and the fresh blood that oozed from it.

Harry then saw again the memory of Faith being discovered by Lucius Malfoy. Harry was then transported to a small room that was dreadfully hot.

"You have disappointed us Severus." A cold voice said. That voice belonged to Lucius Malfoy.

"I told you that mudbloods would get you in trouble. Especially falling in love with one. How nasty. " Lucius spat.

"The Dark Lord is not pleased. It is only by his good graces that you even still live. You can continue to live under one condition….never see her again. If The Dark Lord even hears you as so much as looking at her you will be dead in an instant. Do you understand?" Lucius asked.

"I understand." Severus said.

Harry could feel himself getting pulled out of the memory.

"That's the whole story." Sarah said sadly and taking the pensieve from Harry.

Sirius nervously paced back and forth. Suddenly a nurse burst out of the room. She ran, grabbed something and ran back into the room. The door did not close all the way and Sirius could see Faith lying on the operating table. The Healers and nurses were all around her working frantically.

"Shes not breathing!" He heard one Healer yell to another. Sirius's heart stopped. He couldn't lose her now! Not when he had just gotten her back. He loved her! Faith was dying. She was dying right before his eyes.

And there was nothing he could do about it.
