I followed Severus inside the castle into his classroom.
"You are very fortunate classes do not begin for another week, Miss Lane." Severus drawled. "Otherwise, the Headmaster would see you immediately."
"What are you going to do? Feed me veritaserum or read my mind?" I asked briskly.
"I suppose reading your mind to reveal your knowledge." He spat. "What do you know, Miss Lane?"
"I know you're Severus Snape, the Potions Master at Hogwarts. Your parents are Tobias and Eileen Snape. You are a Death Eater turned spy for the Order. Your birthday is January 9, 1960. And your best friend was a girl named Lily Evans. You loved her-"
"Enough!" Severus yelled at me.
He turned away, letting out a deep sigh. It seemed to take him an eternity to regain his composure and face me. "Now I shall find out how you know so much about me."
Suddenly I felt weird and Severus was watching all of my memories from birth to the present. He saw the source of where I received the information about him and his past. Is this what Legilimency felt like?
I was ripped from the images just as quickly as I was brought into them. Severus was again turned away from me.
A long tense silence filled the air before Severus pierced the veil of quiet. He exhaled heavily from his lungs. "Books...and films...about Potter. You received this knowledge from a series of books and films celebrating him?"
"Yes." I confirmed. "And you saw what is to come as well?"
Severus sighed. "You must see the Headmaster."
"Severus, you're going to die in two years time. Now you can stop it and live beyond the death of Voldemort." I tried to persuade him.
"I have known a long time that I would eventually die, Miss Lane. It is a risk I unwillingly took when I returned to Hogwarts to teach and work for the Order." Severus retorted. "Now if you have decided to rest your unbearable tongue, I shall escort you to the Headmaster."
"But how do I get back home?" I demanded. "I may have wanted to come. Now I want to go back where I belong."
Severus closed in the gap between us. I could feel the breath rush from his lungs. "Perhaps if you could conjure up another magnificent whirlwind to whisk you away back to Nebraska you would be performing us all an astonishing service, Miss Lane." He scoffed. "Right this way, if you will."
With that, Severus turned away and led me to the Headmaster's office.
