Severus walked down the long corridors and down to the dungeons. Dolores just needed him for some more veritaserum, and of course, Severus didn't give her real truth serum. He entered his office and didn't see Harry.
"For god's sake Potter!" that self-centered, arrogant brat wasn't there when Severus had asked him to wait. Severus strode over to his desk when he noticed the pensive, the water didn't have anything in it before, but now it contained blue, glittering swirls.
"Potter," Severus mumbled angrily. He looked beside the pensive where the jar that contained the memory was sitting. He picked it up, wondering what memory Harry had seen. He looked at the words along the side that read "Harry Potter". Why would Severus have a memory of Harry when he tries his best to forget about him every day? Severus felt the pensive drawing him nearer. He dunked his head in and Images started swirling around him, and suddenly he was standing in a small living room.
The room was crowded with old books, and there was a large fireplace in front of him.
I recognize the room, but why.
Severus turned around and saw three people: a woman with long red hair and bright green eyes sitting next to a man with messy black hair and round glasses, sitting on a couch. It was Lily and James.
"Lily," Severus breathed.
Across the room was an old armchair, and Severus himself was sitting in it. He had long greasy black hair and wore a scowl on his face.
Why don't I recognize this memory? After all, this is my memory.
"Thank you for coming, Severus!" Lily said.
"I still don't know why this is necessary," James said, he was slouched on the couch and had his arms crossed.
"Be quiet James, you agreed to this, and it's the only way!"
ugh, classic James.
"Why am I here?" Severus finally said, looking at Lily.
"You see Severus, you are an old friend of mine, and I trust you. James and I have been trying for a child of our own, but it's not working. I was just wondering if we could borrow your seed?"
"No! I'm not going to be the father of James Potter's child!"
"I thought you might say that, but I have an idea. we can put a masking charm on him or her once they are born. The charm should last around fifteen years or so. This way you can just give us your seed, and you don't even have to talk to them."
Severus sat there for a moment. He looked as if he was thinking about doing it.
Wait, what's happening?
"But Lily, he is a death eater!" James cried.
"I don't care! I trust him."
"I'll do it, but not for James, but you Lily."
"Oh, thank you so much!"
They all stood up.
"Are you ready Sev?"
"Yes."
What am I doing?! Why would I agree to this?
Lily and Severus linked arms, and James pulled out his wand. He waved it in a few circles and swished it around Severus and Lily's heads. Blue sparkles washed down their heads and met at their hands, that were linked, and disappeared.
"Thank you so much, Severus! I owe you one!"
Severus put on his cloak and walked over to the door to leave.
"Obliviate!" James yelled from the other side of the room. The charm hit Severus right on his head, and he was knocked out.
What the hell did James just to me?! Why would he do that?!
"James! What the Hell!" Lily cried.
"I was doing it for us, Lily! Now they will be our child, and not Snivellus's!"
"Oh for god's sake James! They were already going to be our child because of the masking charm!"
Lily ran over to Severus. He was lying in front of the door, with his hair falling over his face.
"Wingardium leviosa," Lily said, and Severus started hovering above the ground.
"Wait here, James."
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I'm taking him to dumbledore!" Lily walked towards the fireplace with Severus trailing behind her. She stepped into the fireplace and grabbed a handful of floo powder.
"Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts!" she yelled.
Images were swirling around Severus, and suddenly He was in Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts. He watched Lily come out of the fireplace, in Dumbledore's office, with him still hovering behind her.
"Oh, my Merlin! What happened?" Dumbledore asked as Lily placed Severus on the floor.
"Well you see, James and I were having trouble conceiving a child, so we asked Severus for help. Sev agreed after I told him that we would put a masking charm on the child after it was born so that they would look like James, not Severus. I guess that wasn't enough for James. He didn't want Sev to remember that he has a child, so he obliviated him!"
"I see," Dumbledore said as he looked down on Severus. "I will be able to restore his memories, but not his most recent ones. He won't remember that he has a child, but I can extract those memories now so that he can view them later."
"Yes! Thank you, Dumbledore!" Lily left through the floo. Dumbledore grabbed a jar from one of his desk drawers. Slowly the name "Harry Potter" appeared on the side of the jar. Dumbledore knelt next to Severus's head and pulled out his wand.
Images were swirling around Severus again, and his head flew out of the pensive. He stumbled back a bit and grabbed the desk for support.
I'm Potter's father?! James obliviated me! Dumbledore never told me and he knew! I'm Potter's father and he knows!"
Severus ran through the corridors to Dumbledore's office.
"Every flavored beans," Severus said and the spiral stairs emerged and started spinning. He stepped onto the steps and ran up the staircase. Severus didn't feel like knocking, so he burst through the door to Dumbledore's office.
