Chapter 22: Trial number two
"Then I here by sentence you for seventy five years at Azkaban for abusing one Harry James Potter"
There was utter silence but then Vernon of course flipped out.
"Seventy five years? Are you mental? What am I saying, of course you are all crazy. I had the kindness to take the damn freak in when he just couldn't die like that blasted good for nothing parents of his. If you people can't understand our ways of raising the kid up then you stupid freaks should never even have had left the boy with us"
Harry seeing the state on his uncle partially ran to his friends and watched from there how his uncle continued yelling at the minister,
"And you, what is this crap with you being a minister? You freaks can't have ministers, you can't do anything except wave those stupid sticks of yours and then you think you can put me away with rest of your freaks when all I did was raise the boy like a normal foster father would. What the hell did you expect? That I was going to love and care for a freak like that? In your dreams, but I still took care of the brat. For five years I have had to put up with this nonsense. Ruined deserts, flying cars, blowing up Marge, destroying my house, and you expect me to tolerate that, well I tell you what-
But no one ever got to know what was coming next because ms. Bones hexed Vernon and the aurors carried him away.
"Ah, yes anyway" Fudge said rather out of it "Next case, can Mr. Potter please step forward"
And for the second time of his life Harry was placed in same chair in front of the people. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Rita Skeeter sneak in side but he ignored it and glared at the minister,
"Do you understand why you are here?" Ms. Bones asked,
"Yes. I am here because we have an idiot for an minister and he just can't seem to understand when the time is to swallow his pride" Harry shot glaring at the minister
"How dare you- Fudge started but the young man, interrupted him,
"You are here for helping a wanted criminal and turning dark and betraying the community"
"And please tell me what turning dark and betraying the people has anything to do with covering for Sirius Black and helping him escape from you lot?"
"Doesn't that just say itself?"
"It really depends on how you look at it I suppose" Harry shrugged, in a casual manner
"But on to business" Fudge snapped, "Do you have anything you wish to say before you are given the Veritaserum?"
"Nah not really. I think everything will come out in few minuets. But on the other hand, I think I would like to say that I told you so in advanced" Harry said gleefully. He was aware that he was behaving like a child but he didn't care. It was nice for a change.
"Give him the Veritaserum" Fudge somehow managed to say between his teeth
"Name" Ms. Bones said
"Harry James Potter"
"Age"
"Sixteen"
"House?"
"Gryffindor"
"What is the form of your patronus?"
"A stag"
"Alright, the potion is working. Mr. Potter, please tell us how you know Sirius Black?"
"He's my god-father"
"I see. And how did you meet?"
"The first time I saw him, I really didn't know it was him, because at the time I didn't know I had a god-father, or that he was a wanted criminal and a illegal Animagus but I saw him when I ran away from my relatives home the summer after my second year when he was hiding between an Alley in his dog form"
"You didn't speak to him?"
"No, he was a dog"
"And you didn't know who he was?"
"No"
"When did you find out who Sirius Black was"
"That same night, I saw in the prophet his story and later that summer I heard Mr. Weasley tell Mrs. Weasley that he had escaped Azkaban just to kill me. But I didn't find out he was my godfather until sometime right before Christmas when I snuck to Hogsmade and heard the professors and the minister talking on three broomsticks"
"And what did they say?"
"They were saying that killing those muggles and Peter Pettigrew wasn't his only crime. They said that he and my father had been nearly inseparable and that he had been my fathers best man and when I was born he became my godfather"
"Did they say anything else?"
"Yes they said that Sirius had become my parents secret keeper when we went into hiding and that Sirius had betrayed them and told Voldemort their whereabouts and that is how Voldemort found my parents. Then they said that Peter, who was also my parents friend had hunted Sirius up and had yelled loudly, Lily and James, Sirius how could you? And then he was supposed to have blown the whole street up killing a lot of muggles"
"I see, and why didn't you believe that?"
"I did. I hated Sirius Black after that"
Ms. Bones looked confused at Harry but before she could say anything else Fudge stood up,
"What did I say? The kid is unstapled and should be but away. And that is exactly what I am going to do-
"Maybe Miss Bones, isn't done with her questioning and maybe Mr. Weasley, or Mr. Ferdinand wanted to ask him something" Dumbledore interrupted, a bit nervous.
"Thank you professor. As I was saying, why did you help Mr. Black if you hated him?" Ms. Bones asked recovering
"I didn't hate him when I helped him"
"When did you stop hating him?"
"When I met Sirius and found out the truth"
"And when did you meet Mr. Black?"
"The same night he was captured"
"So it all happened on few hours?"
"Yes"
"And what exactly did happen?"
"I suppose it all started when we were on our way back to the castle-
"Where had you been?" The new man, Ferdinand asked.
"We had snuck out to be with Hagrid when Buckbeak would be killed but he send us back to school. On our way back scabbers-
"Who?"
"It used to be Ron's rat. We all thought Hermione's cat had eaten it but then we found him when we were at Hagrid's. Anyway, he kept trying to get away and finally he could. Ron ran after him and before we could catch him this huge dog-
"Your godfather?"
"Yes but I didn't know it. Anyway he comes and knocks me down and takes Ron into this secret tunnel that leads to the shrinking shack. Me and Hermione went after him, but when we came there all we found was Ron with a broken leg on the bed. He told us it was a trap and then we saw him. I attacked Sirius and we fought. After he nearly killed me I got the upper hand with Mione's help. I had my wand pointed at him but I couldn't do anything. I froze and then professor Lupin came. He took all the wands and then he hugged Sirius. We were very confused and angry because we thought that he had betrayed us and then Hermione told us that he was a werewolf. The professor and Sirius finally managed to get us to listen and they told us the truth"
"And what is the truth?"
"Sirius Black was never the Potters secret keeper"
"I'm sorry?"
"Sirius Black was never the secret keeper. Peter Pettigrew however was. They switched on the last minuet and never told anyone about it. Sirius figured it was the best way"
"How so?"
"Out of the three options who would you think most likely?"
"Black of course. Lupin was a werewolf and Pettigrew was weak"
"Exactly. That was what Sirius thought, except that he choose Pettigrew over Remus because he thought Remus was the traitor. Anyway so they switched, but what they didn't know was that Peter had been working for the dark all along and at the first chance he got he told Voldemort the truth. Sirius who had found Peters place empty that night went over to the Potters, to see if something was wrong. You know what he found. He was going to take me but Hagrid told him that Dumbledore had ordered him to take me. Sirius gave me to Hagrid and hunted up Peter"
"But everyone saw Sirius Black kill Peter Pettigrew"
"No. They just thought they did. Peter yelled that to frame Sirius and then he cut of one of his finger and blew up the street, he then transformed in his animagus form and ran"
"I don't see what this is supposed to help. Just because the boy believes this it doesn't mean it is the truth" Fudge insisted "And besides, neither Black or Peter are registered"
"They never did, and neither did my father"
"Your father was one to?"
"Yes. He was a stag. They decided to become one so they could help Remus on the full moon"
"But do you have any proof about your words?"
"Yes"
"And?" Miss Bones said
"That night, in the shack Sirius told me why he had really escaped. He did it to get his revenge on Pettigrew. He had seen him in a picture in the prophet that Fudge gave him. You see Pettigrews form was a rat. Scabber really was Peter. To prove this to us Remus and Sirius forced Peter to leave his form. I saw Peter Pettigrew alive. I heard him admit he had framed Sirius and betrayed my parents. And I also saw him kill Cedric Diggory and bring back Voldemort"
There were loud gasps all around the room and Fudge paled and fainted.
------------------------------------------
/Harry what is going on over there?/ Draco voice said in Harry's head that same night
/What?/
/Haven't you seen the prophet?/
/No, hang on a minuet/
"Remus do you have a copy of the prophet?" Harry asked all of the sudden and everyone looked up to him surprised,
"No it hasn't arrived yet" Remus answered,
As soon as he said that an owl flew inside with the prophet but before Remus could take the paper Harry snatched it and nearly fainted at the headline.
"Sirius Black, innocent or guilty?
After an interview with our well respected minister Fudge it was discovered that the boy who lived had gone missing for over two weeks ago. Do not panic for he was seen well and alive again only four days ago when he attended Blacks will reading.
Yes you heard right, the mass murderer Sirius Black is indeed dead. I have it from an reliable source that Mr. Black was murdered in the battle at the ministry last June by none other then his own cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, who is an well known death eater.
Why however would a death eater kill another one? Maybe because Sirius Black never really was a death eater.
As some of you may wonder, why would Harry Potter be present at the will reading of the late Black, and why would the man who tried to kill young Harry leave him half of his vault. It is because Sirius Black happens to be Mr. Potters godfather.
What was even further more surprising was that the minister himself was even there and after hearing that the reason Black escaped again after being captured by the potion master at Hogwarts, professor Snape, was because Harry and his friends saved Sirius Black on a stolen hippogriff. The minister had an heated argument with the famous boy and threaten to put him in Azkaban for helping an dangerous wanted criminal, and furthermore was he expelled from Hogwarts. What surprised us all was that the boy didn't even protest, only did he ask for a fair trial.
That very same trial went place at noon today at the ministry. The boy-who-lived was there right on time and ready for what was to come, and to make sure that he boy wasn't lying he was put under the Veritaserum.
Potter however didn't say exactly what we expected him to say. He told the true story about Sirius Black, or is it maybe just a crazy idea in his head once more. Why don't you decide?
It turns out that Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and the late James Potter were all illegal animagus.
According to Potter, Black turned down being the secret keeper of the Potters and told that it would be safer for them to pick Peter for no one would ever suspect him. But was Peter who he seemed to be? No, Peter was working for the dark Lord all along, and he betrayed the Potters and when Black hunted him down he framed his best friend turned into the rat he truly is and lived as a pet for the Weasley family until Potters third year when Harry found out the truth about his godfather.
Of course this proves very little since it could very well just be in his head, but when we asked for prove he so kindly told us that he saw Peter Pettigrew after the former professor of Hogwarts, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black forced him out of his form. He also claimed that he heard him admit to have framed Sirius Black and furthermore he as well told us that Peter Pettigrew was the one who killed Cedric Diggory after the third task of the tri wizard tournament and brought back the dark Lord.
The minister who has been admitted to saint mungos when almost had a heart attack claims that this is just a yet another try for the famous boy to win the hearts of the wizarding world.
I for one have to disagree with our minister this time for I believe that the boy-who-lived is telling the truth. I believe that we own him as much to believe him after all he has done for us.
Written by Rita Skeeter.
"I suppose I shouldn't be so surprised, after all I did see her sneak in before" Harry said handing Remus back the paper who quickly read the paper, "At least now Sirius could have had another trial. To bad it is too late" Harry said sadly
"He would have been proud of you Harry" Remus said smiling
Harry smiled weakly to,
/So have you read it yet?/
/Yes/
/So what is going on/
/Just Fudge being an idiot again. But we have finished our most important business and moved from Hogwarts so all we got to do is wait for the elves and I have no idea as to when expect them so why don't you come over?/
/Really?/ Draco said hopeful,
/Really. So when can you get out?/
/It is going to be hard. My father will be home tomorrow and the day after that/
/How come?/
/To train me/
/Oh, so we come get you the day after that/
/I am afraid that will be a little too late. The reason he is training me is because after two days I'll become a death eater unless you can get me out of here/
Harry's eyes went wide. /I'll have Angel come and get you tomorrow. Be ready at the gates of your mansion right before dinner. Just tell your father that you need to go to the bathroom or something and then make a run for it. You just need to get to the gates and then you will be save. I have to go. I see you tomorrow/
"What?" He snapped at Remus who had been trying to get his attention for the last few minuets
"Is something wrong Harry? You seemed a bit out?"
"No nothing's wrong. As long as everything goes according to the plan. In fact, things are rather good. Our last member will be coming tomorrow"
"What?" Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Remus said
"What?" Harry said innocently,
"So soon?"
"It is the only chance we get or else we'll be to late"
"Who is this last member?"
"You'll see tomorrow"
And with that said Harry left to find Angel to fill her in.
---------------------------------------------------------
The next day went by fine except that Harry found out that there was a order meeting before the dinner so it could mean they would be more then usual at dinner.
Finally dinner came and Angel had left ten minuets ago but there was still no sign about her.
And Harry had been right, there were more people eating with them, as usual of course there were the Weasleys –Except Percy and Charlie- and Remus, Poppy and Moody who practically lived there but Dumbledore, Tonks, Mcgonagall, Snape and Kinglsey were there too along with Petunia, who had just been accepted into the order as their contact to the muggle world. Dudley who refused to leave his room that he shared with his mother at Hogwarts was not there.
"So Harry have you thought about what we have been talking about?" Mione asked
"What?"
"What Luna and Neville asked you about on your birthday"
"Oh that. Yes I've thought about it and after many arguments with Angel I am doing it but I don't like it"
"What are you talking about?" Fred whispered at Hermione,
"The DA"
"Oh, why wouldn't Harry like it?" He whispered
"Because Angel is pressuring him to train them to become like the next order so they could all help helping the students and fight when it was needed. Harry isn't very keen on the whole thing, he thinks that they are to young and I have to say he has a point" Hermione whispered back "But unfortunally we don't have much choice if we want to win"
"Oh, but there are so many quitting right?" George whispered surprised
"Yeah I know. You guys, Angela, Katie and Alicia are all out as well as two Rawenclaws and one Hufflepuff. But since we have to go through the D.A anyway to see who's trustworthy and who's not we might as well invite some new people in the way"
"What are you children whispering about there?" Molly asked eyeing them suspicious "I'm warning you. I am not in the mood for any pranks to night"
"Yes mom" Fred said rolling his eyes. His mom was NEVER in the mood for pranks.
The kitchen door opened, and therefore Molly couldn't answer her son. Angel carefully walked in. Her hair all over the place and if Harry didn't know any better he would have thought she had just woken up.
"Sorry I'm late everyone. I just fell a sleep" She said yawning
Harry looked at her alarmed, afraid something had gone wrong but a wink from Angel calmed him down and he released what was going on.
Of course he should have known that Draco would choose to come with style.
"It's alright dear. Dinner just started about five minuets ago. Please sit down"
Harry thought it was rather amazing how the two of them now got along considering that Mrs. Weasley had really hated Angel when they first arrived. But after the few days they had spent here the two of them became… somewhat friends. Mrs. Weasley still didn't trust her. But Harry didn't exactly expect her too.
Harry stayed quiet for the next few minuets and just listened at the people around him chat happily.
But everyone became silent as the kitchen door yet again was opened and in walked, to everyone's surprise –except Harry's and Angel's- Draco Malfoy.
At first everyone just stared with their moths hanging over, but Hermione, Ron and Ginny recovered soon and were about to stand up to hug their friend when Harry stopped them.
Petunia who was confused at his appearance, since she hadn't known that someone else was going to be their said, "Hello"
Draco raised an eyebrow at the muggle and arrogantly walked further in the kitchen until everyone saw him at a full view. He looked exactly like the arrogant Slytherin prince he had been only months ago. But Harry knew it was all an act.
"No one even going to say hi except the filth?"
Everyone seemed to recover at that but Snape flushed and looked even a tad scared,
"Mr. Malfoy, how interesting to see you here"
Draco just ignored the headmaster and looked directly at Snape with an elegant eyebrow raised. "Good evening, professor Snape. I must say, I'm surprised to see you here dining with him" Draco said calmly jerking his head towards the headmaster " When you just recently informed father that you were not available because you were doing a important assignment. And yet here you are dining with the man you swore that was your enemy like it is a everyday thing. I must say father will not be pleased with this development" Draco said very business like with a smirk on his face. And Harry had a hard time controlling his laughter.
Snape however saw nothing amusing with any of it. First he paled and seemed too shocked to say anything, then he became horrified when he released what would happen if Draco ever told him that he knew where the HQ were. Then he became furious at the blond in front of him.
"Mr. Malfoy, where I dine and where I don't dine is none of your business. Whatever your father may have told you is none of my business. But what I really want to know is how on earth did you come here? This place is heavily warded and you shouldn't be able to enter. Is there something you have to tell us?"
"Nah. Don't believe I do. But I am rather hungry, you wouldn't mind if I sat down and grabbed something to eat while we… discuss things?"
"Draco Lucius Malfoy. Drop this act this instant. I am going to have a nice long talk to your father about this behavior"
Draco pulled a face, so he looked like a five year old who had just been denied of having a chocolate and said, "Ohh, you're no fun uncle Sev"
Snape grew extremely red and looked like he was about to kill the young blond in front of him this instant but Dumbledore placed a calming hand on Snape but Harry and the twins. Ron and Ginny all snorted,
"Potter? I hadn't noticed your ever so loving present. I am deeply offended. Potter and Weasley get to be present but I don't. What is the world coming too"
"Well you see Malfoy it might just be because we only invite fun and good people" Fred said like Draco was tense
"But what's the fun in that?" Draco asked like there was something seriously wrong with Fred
"Draco. This is not something to play with. Did your father send you?"
"He would actually have to know I was here to be able to do that you know" Draco said casually, leaning at the wall.
"So he didn't?"
"I do believe that I just implied that" He said wryly
"Mr. Malfoy" Dumbledore warned
"No my father does not know I am here. At least not that I know of. I wouldn't but it past him to put a tracking charm on me, but by the sound of things this place is that well warded that it wouldn't really matter"
"If you are not here because of your father then why are you here?" Snape snarled
"You know my dearest professor Sev, you aren't being very nice or polite like a proper Slytherin should always be. Here I am with your life in my hand. You know that, I know that and everyone else here knows that so how bout trying to be a little bit nice?" Draco teased
"I don't know how you got here but I assure you that you don't have my life in your hand. As far as you know I am here for Voldemort." Snape tried one last time but even to Harry it didn't sound that convincing
"You and I both know that isn't the truth uncle Sev"
"Fine" Snape snarled "But for gods sake, stop playing this dangerous game and just bloody hell tell me what the hell you are going to do? You owe me that much Draco. Are you going to be what everyone here thinks you are or are you going to be what I used to think you could be? And don't bloody call me that in front of that bloody Potter brat"
"You know not everyone here thinks I'm an death eater like father" Draco said dropping the act slightly hurt
"Oh who are you kidding yourself? Even the headmaster thinks so. I mean it's not like you have been going over your limit to proof us wrong now have you?"
Draco just pouted playfully, but Harry was actually the one to speak up, with tears leaking from his eyes from laughing so much and his eyes showed with mirth
"Actually professor Sev, Malfoy here happens to be right" Harry grinned at the shocked face at Snape and the others. "I know, it's hard to believe I would be standing up for him huhh? But anyway back to the point. I could name about five persons that I'm hundred present sure about and I have a feeling that there are about two other persons I might mention"
"And prey to tell who are they?" Snape said
"Well there's Hermione here, and Ginny of course" Harry couldn't help but laugh at the faces others were showing.
"And?" The headmaster said,
"And Angel. And Draco himself as well. And lets see who else? Ah there's Ron of course – At this most of the people at the table practically gaped at them – And finally there is me" Harry said and then he continued without even pretending to notice the disbelieving looks he was getting, "And I happen to believe that my aunt doesn't think he is one, but then again, she has no idea what is going on either so… and finally Sev, I think you are hoping against hope that he isn't what you are afraid he is"
No one said a word. Everyone just stared at Harry in shock and then Remus smiled all of the sudden,
"They gray ones were for him" He exclaimed, thinking about the day they were in Diagon Alley.
At that Tonks seemed to catch on because she gasped and said, "No freaking way"
Although no one understood what the two were on about their noise seemed to make everyone shake from their shocks.
Harry along with his friends that traveled with him to the past stood up and they along with Draco joined in a group hug before they each seated themselves again like it was a everyday thing, hugging a Malfoy.
"Well weren't you saying you were hungry?" Harry asked Draco who was still standing there. And then the thing that surprised them the most that evening happened. Draco smiled. He actually smiled, a real genuine smile, before sitting down and piling food on the nearest plate.
The teens started talking like they had known each other for all their life's while the adults just looked on in amassment until finally Snape seemed to snap out of it,
"Could someone please tell me what the hell is going on here? Since when do Potter and Malfoy behave like long time friends?"
"Since I decided that my fathers way wasn't the right way" Draco spoke up, "Since Harry helped me understand that I actually had a choice about what I wanted to do. Since he saved me from myself"
"And when the hell was that" Snape yelled,
Harry however just smiled sweetly at him before saying, "That my dear Snape is one of the many mysteries about me that you will probably never find out"
"Urgh you…
"I think this is enough for now. Harry, Mr. Malfoy and those of you who are involved I am very disappointed that you would do such a thing. A prank is one thing but to scare a valuable and honorable man of his life is another. If this would be on a school time I would punish you, have no doubt about that but since it isn't, there is very little I can do-
"Honorable? Now you are joking me right?" Harry said a bit angry "Snape is anything but that. Fine he's a spy, he risks his bloody life every meeting he goes to. Buhu. You practically force me to respect that, but here are some news. I don't. I won't respect you Snape until you give me a reason too-
"I haven't done that already? I am a- Snape started
"You used to be a death eater and then you all of the sudden grew a bit guilty and decided to mend you actions. Tell me Snape, first when you decided to become a spy you weren't going to do this were you? I am willing to bet on it. I 'm also willing to bet that one of the facts that you still are doing what you don't want to do is because what else are you going to do? I mean you'll either be killed by Tom or thrown into Azkaban by Fudge?
And then there is another reason I don't respect you. And it doesn't even have anything to do with that you treat me like dirt in your classroom and pick on me. No it's because you hate me and say I worship all my fame and that I don't deserve to be respected and that I shouldn't ask for it. But here you are asking me to respect you because you are stuck in a power game between Dumbledore and Voldemort that I happened to be caught into. Well I don't respect you and I won't until you deserve it. I happen to believe in what comes around goes around. You made this situation all by yourself"
"Harry you know that is not true" Dumbledore sighed "You know Snapes father forced him into this and now he is just doing it because without him this war would be lost"
"No it wouldn't. You would loose one advantage, nothing more. And I still hold my words until Snape comes and tells me that his father did that"
"I don't have to do anything for you Potter"
"Then I don't have to respect you. Now I have some lost time to catch up with my friend here. So I'll see you hopefully later then sooner. To the rest of you thank you for a nice meal and sleep well"
With that Harry left the room with his friends and behind were rather angry, shocked and amused people staring at the door.
Two days later Harry was sitting in the library alone. Which was really a miracle because his friends never ever let him be alone. The residents and those who often came to the HQ because of the Order still found it a bit weird that Draco was one of them and Dumbledore had even given Harry a speech about how to choose trustworthy friends. It hadn't gone well and Dumbledore hadn't bothered Harry since. The twins had been very shocked at the sudden friendship but agreed to give it a shot, mainly because they were impressed by the whole Snape incident.
Training with Angel had yet to start again because these days the teens were trying hard to finish their homework. It was actually a lot easier then it should be because they had most of their assignments since their time in the past but Hermione had forbidden them to use it. But they jut changed few lines here and there and updated them a bit and voila. It was just the potions essay they had to start from scratch on.
This afternoon Draco, Ron, Ginny and Hermione were all helping the adults with some things, since they had already finished their potion essay but Harry hadn't. So they had been forced to leave Harry alone for the first time since Draco's arrival.
The door at the library opened and Harry looked up, only to look back down. It was just Snape,
"What are you doing here Potter?"
"I am doing my homework in my library not that it is any of your business"
"You better make sure that your potion essay is up for an O or you'll be out of my class in no time"
"I think I am doing rather well so far"
Snape just sneered before saying, "We'll see about that. I don't know how you managed to get into that class but I'll be damned if you stay there"
"You can't kick me out for no reason and you can't grade me unfairly" Harry just said not looking up
"I won't have to. You'll make a mistake. The only person worse then you in potions is Longbottom"
"Neville happens to be rather good. You just don't know it because you can't teach and you scare the students so much that they can't bare to be around you. That is why Neville can't complete a potion with you around. You know he wants to be a healer" Harry stated still not looking up
"Well good that I didn't let him in then. What a disaster that would have been"
"He would have saved lifes and you know it"
"You don't know anything about what you are talking about. You are just like your father, thinking you can get away with it all. That you're special. That you are better then the rest of us"
"I wouldn't go down that road if I were you" Harry warned
"Why? You know how he was. You saw it yourself. I don't have to deal with this" Snape said and then he was about to leave when Harry finally looked up,
"You really hated him didn't you?"
"What?"
"My father. You must really have hated him to be able to live with yourself right now" Harry said looking at Snape sternly. But Snape was loss word words he was so outraged.
"Have you forgotten that I also had a mother? Or that you were no better then my father? Everything my father did had a reason behind it" Harry continued
"What would you know" Snape said also turning around to look at Harry
"I happen to know a lot of things Snape. I know what you did. I know why and when you became an death eater, I know what you did when you were a death eater and I know why you became a spy"
"I'm sure you do Potter. Dumbledore just told you two days ago. Now I must be going. I actually have a life you see" Snape sneered before walking to the door. But before he could leave Harry spoke up again "Mary Olsen" Snape froze dead in his tracks but Harry still continued talking, "A fourth year Rawenclaw, popular and good looking. Blond hair, slender, a bit premature. But I can't remember her eyes. How were they Snape, Blue or Gray?" Harry knew he was being very cruel but he still didn't stop.
"How should I know" Snape said but his voice shook
"Oh I don't know. You were a sixth year when she died weren't you?"
"And? Seven people died in that raid" Snape said not even relising that Harry shouldn't even know about the raid,
"No six people died in that raid. The seventh Mary Olsen died differently. You know how she died don't you?"
Snape turned around again and sat down beside Harry. "What do you know?"
"I know how she died and who killed her"
"You couldn't know"
"Yes I could"
"Proof it" Snape hissed,
Harry knew he shouldn't but the man had asked for it "She was on her way to Hogsmade where she was going to meet some of her friends. But she never made it because on her way she was dragged away and then she was raped. After that the man who did it tortured her. She was already weak after the rape and the crucio, but still she was tortured. First some dark cutting curses were used on her. Many pain curses, bone braking curses and so many more until she was on the verge of dying. But that wasn't enough. No, the man knelt down beside her and she opened her eyes and saw who her attacker was. It was the last thing she saw because then her eyes were removed. She died only seconds after that."
Snape was stumped. He didn't say anything.
"Do you still have the eyes?" Harry asked in a soft voice.
Snape looked at Harry sharply before saying "I- I don't know what you mean"
"Oh cut the act Snape. It was you who killed her. Then you took her body when you went to the raid in Hogsmade dumped in the one of the burning houses when no one saw. I know that. I know that it was what you were supposed to do to be accepted in the inner circle. That and help in the raid. I also know that you killed a seven year old girl and her mother, both muggles when you became a death eater. I know you killed at least two other people. All before you even turned sixteen. I also know that you made some of the most valuable potions for Tom. And you know what more?"
Snape just shook his head, in too much of a shock to deny anything,
"I know your father didn't make you take the dark mark. I know you did it on your own free will, because you truly hated muggles. Maybe not to the point of killing them and every pureblood that dared disagree like the parents of Mary. But your hate on my father and every person like my father was enough to drive you to his service"
"What?" Snape said
"I know Snape. You hated people like him. Loved, popular and happy. Their biggest worry was who was supposed to be his date for this weak or which pants he should wear to his next class. You hated people like him who got everything they wanted including my mother. That is why you joined Tom. I also know why you became a spy. Your first murder or kidnapping that you were supposed to do after you became one of his inner circle was my mom. Lily Evans. That's why you became a spy. She was the only person that stood up for you ever. Sure your friends did but not because they cared, but because they had to. My mom however did care. She prevented so many pranks on you. Took points from James. You couldn't do it. You couldn't kill her. You told Dumbledore that your father had forced the mark on you and that you were supposed to kidnap Lily. He helped you out instead"
Snape gaped at Harry, "How do you know this? And why haven't you told Dumbledore yet? Wanted to torment me first? Well you have so now you can go and tell him"
"I'm not going to. Don't get me wrong I still don't like you but, I know that even if you killed those with cold blood and with out a remorse you still turned the page. I don't agree with all the lying and all but it's your life not mine. I know that the reason you hate my father even more is because he turned out to be something more then the rest of them. He turned out to be more then just the image, he proofed that when he saved your life. Just think about that before you attack him again. It's not his fault that you didn't judge him right" With those words Harry left Snape alone in the room to pound on his words.
There was barley a week until the school was to start again. People finally seemed to understand that Draco wasn't about to jump out from the next corner and yell, The first of July, and start killing everybody. Snape as well avoided Harry like wild fire and people were very curious as to why that was.
Dumbledore still avoided Harry the best he could and that was all fine by Harry.
Harry's snake were both hidden under his clothes, but the egg hadn't cragged yet. It had taken Harry about four hours to organize his new trunk. The first compartment were under his school books, and some more advanced ones that he had picked up. Another was under his clothes, third under his personal things. The fourth one was fairly empty, since that was a bit bigger but that is were Harry kept, other things for school and the books he didn't want everybody to see.
At this very moment Harry was sitting quietly eating lunch with the people staying in the HQ's and Dumbledore. But that was interrupted with a loud crack when Dobby appeared.
Dumbledore of course with his all knowing attitude acted like it was an everyday thing.
"Dobby, how lovely to see you. How may I help you"
Dobby looked extremely uncomfortable and shifted from one feet to another and stammered,
"Dobby, was not knowing professor Dumbly was being here"
"Then why are you here?" Dumbledore asked confused
"Dobby is sorry. Dobby is coming to see Harry Potter sir"
"You came all the way here just to see me Dobby?" Harry asked very surprised, "Wow I'm flattered, I didn't know you cared so much. I mean there are only five days until school starts"
"Dobby did someone tell you to come here?" Dumbledore asked sternly,
"He just said he was here to meet Harry" George said,
"None of the house elves can leave the castle with out orders to do so" Dumbledore explained and at his words everybody looked at the house elf and Remus asked,
"But I thought no one but their masters could order them around. And isn't that just you and the teachers? And no one but Snape is at Hogwarts so who send you Dobby?"
"Er, Dobby is not allowed to say master Remy sir"
"Then why were you send to see me Dobby?" Harry asked gently
Dobby smiled a gigantic smile at Harry and said proudly, "Dobby was chosen personally to collect Harry Potter sir to come to Hogwarts"
At this everyone's eyebrows shot up, and Dumbledore asked,
"Is someone evil at Hogwarts"
"No professor Dumbly sir. Professor Snapy is the only one sir"
"Wonder why he didn't contact me" Dumbledore mused, while Harry groaned
"Oh do I have to?"
"If he wants to see you then yes. It must be important, because I know he has been avoiding you for the last days"
Harry mumbled something under his breath before sighing and nodding in defeat. "Alright. Let's get going then Dobby"
"Wait" Hermione said
"What?"
"We are coming with" Ron said and Harry knew that there was no way to chance his mind.
So Harry, the knights and Angel left together with a bouncing Dobby.
But what met them there was not who they expected.
------------------------
Ok so that was that. I hope I didn't make too many mistakes. Anyways, I have important news.
Like I said before this chapter was not betaed, since my beta is unavailable until January to beta since her computer broke down. But since it has been a while since I updated I decided to update anyway. I was going to update about two more chapters over the Christmas holidays, since I've almost finished the next chapter but maybe I should wait until they can be beta-ed. It is up to you.
But if you want me to wait then you'll have to wait until February to get the next chapters since I won't be able to write a thing in January since, I have to make a history paper, on World War two, then I have to finish my Icelandic project, and not to mention that the 17 January my winter exams start. So I'll be studying all month and won't be able to post anything until February. But just let me know if you want me to post the next chapter over Christmas and I will. But It won't beta-ed.
Anyways, time for review responses….
