Betrayals and Secrets

Chapter One

The Miracle


Over the years, it had begun to get more unbearable living at the Dursleys in Number Four Privet Drive. Vernon's beatings had gotten so deadly, that Harry wasn't sure if he was going to live much longer if his Uncle kept giving it to him every single day of his never-ending life.

Locked up in his room, he wrote in his journal. It was the only thing that lept him entertained these days. It fortunately kept his mind off of Vernon's beatings and his Aunt's sharp screams that woke him early every morning around 6 am. Thanks to that, he hardly got any sleep, and when he did, it was plagued by nightmares sent by Voldemort through their connection in his scar.

Harry sighed, getting ready for another beating, because by the looks of the clock on the table Vernon would be coming in about ten minutes to give him the regular thing, but he found it eerily quiet downstairs. He went to his door and tried to open it. Oddly, the door opened. He looked at it questioningly before quietly waking up to the top of the stairs and peeking down so that he wouldn't be seen. Or hopefully wouldn't be seen, for that matter.

A tall woman with flaming red hair and emerald green eyes was facing Petunia Dursley with a wand pointed at her. Petunia's eyes were wide with fear. "Lily? What are you-"

"Where is my son?" Lily shrieked. "I know you have him, Dumbledore told me so! Hand him over!"

"I didn't know you had a -"

"Don't play dumb with me, Petunia, I know you know where my son is, so why don't you tell me right here and now before I have to use my wand and do something I might regret," Lily stated venemously.

Harry shook himself out of his shocked state, and was about to yell to his mother, when a hand wrapped its way around his mouth, preventing him from doing so. His eyes widened when he looked into the sneering face of his Uncle.

"Eavesdropping, were you, freak?" he whispered. "I'll show you what we do to freaks like YOU, Potter!" he shouted the sentence so that Lily would hear.

Fortunately, she did and glared at Petunia before walking up the stairs. The sight that she saw, shocked her to pieces.

"No, no, Uncle, no…" Harry didn't want his mother to see him like this, this was why he was a freak. He didn't want her to know!

"STUPEFY!" Lily pointed her wand at Vernon, who fell unconscious, unfortunately, ontop of Harry. He screamed under his fat Uncle's body, trying to breathe.

Lily gasped and ran over. She levitated Vernon's body and threw it into the wall before getting down on her knees and going over to Harry, who was breathing heavily. "Harry? Baby?"

"H-How are you…here?" Harry panted out.

Lily smiled and shook her head. "Let's not get into such details right know. I have to get you out of here and back to Hogwarts. I'm going to give Dumbledore a piece of my mind for sending you here!"

Harry smirked. This definitely was Lily. She acted a bit like Hermione, in his eyes. Defiant, smart, and knew how to defend herself. But if she was here, then were was…

"Mum, if you're here…then where's-" Lily cut him off.

"He's dead, sweety, it was only I who survived," Lily replied. "Come and I'll explain everything to you when we arrive at Hogwarts. Quickly now."

But Harry was too shocked to move. If James was dead, then how could Lily be here?


Sirius Black sat in the living room at Grimmauld Place anxiously awaiting a letter from Harry. He hadn't heard from his godson in over a month and was waiting impatiently. His lover, Remus Lupin, walked into the living room and sighed.

"Harry will write to you when he wants, Sirius, don't think that he will every single minute of his life," Remus said.

"I know, but Remmie, it's been a month! He might be in trouble, he might be hurt…" Sirius pouted. "I have to see him, at all costs."

"Sirius no, if you go out you land in Azkaban again and I won't have that," Remus stated firmly. "Wait for Harry to write-"

He was cut off because there was a crack in the hall and a shriek.

"Harry, I didn't know you could apparate!" a woman shrieked, and to Sirius and Remus, she sounded oddly familiar.

"Yeah, I'm seventeen, mum, didn't you know?" another person asked.

"Oh, my baby…"

"Mum, please don't do the guilt thing again," Harry whined just as Sirius and Remus came bursting into the hall. They gasped in shock.

"Lily?"


Lily turned around to be face-to-face with Sirius and Remus, her old friends. They must be the only Marauders left, after James died and Wormtail joined… she shook her head and stared at them, and they stared right back at her.

"How are you here?" Sirius asked after hugging her to death.

She laughed and hugged Sirius back, then Remus. "I didn't die that night. Only the Headmaster and now Harry know how I survived. I guess I will tell you two as well. On October 31st, 1981, when Voldemort came, James begged me to get away with Harry to protect him. What people thought was that I didn't get away in time and that I was killed. But I got out, and with Harry."

"But what about the scar? Surely Voldemort managed to get to you at some point," Remus queried.

"Oh yes, but he only managed to send a curse at Harry, who I quickly protected and he ended up with nothing but a scar before I apparated with him to Hogsmeade. Thankfully nobody saw us, but since everybody believed both James and I were dead, I had to go into hiding and Harry unfortunately HAD to go with the Dursleys," Lily finished.

"So that is really what happened that night, but why didn't the Headmaster just tell people you were alive instead of you having to go and hide?" Sirius asked.

"You remember that Voldemort has friends in high places, don't you? Anyone of them could find out I'm alive and report it to Voldemort. Dumbledore said that it would only be safe if I show myself to Harry when he was seventeen. Nobody else can know except all of you," Lily replied.

"Because we're James' closest friends and he would kill us if we didn't protect you after he died?" Sirius asked innocently.

Lily giggled. "Something like that, yeah. Oh, but I am also going to tell one other person who Dumbledore swears is trustworthy and will keep it a secret."

Sirius was scared to ask, but did anyway. "Who?"

Lily, seeing Sirius' expression, smirked. "Severus."

Harry and Sirius gaped at her. "SNAPE!" they exclaimed.

She looked startled at her son, who showed hate in his eyes for the Potions Master. Hate actually was an understatement. He loathed him with every bone in his being. Sirius felt the same way about the Greasy Git.

"How come you're telling him? He's a greasy git!" Harry exclaimed.

Remus sighed at both of their antics. "I agree completely with Harry, he'll just tell Voldemort that you're alive and then he'll come after you again! He can't kill you!" Sirius exclaimed.

Lily looked at both of them sternly. In the few short years Harry and Sirius knew each other, they seemed to like and hate the same things. For example, they hated Severus. But they would have to come to terms at some point because before she had gotten involved with James, she had been in love with Severus. He never knew, of course, but she had a distinct feeling that he felt the same way about her. She didn't know for sure, but she had a feeling there may be a way.

"I don't care really what you think of Severus, just don't insult him in front of me, is that understood?" Lily asked strictly.

"Yes, mum…"
