(Don't forget to review this chapter plz. This stuff's hard.)

When the couple woke up 12 hours later, they felt surprisingly refreshed. But there was this one question that Harry had for Joe. "Joe?" he asked. "Yeah, what is it?" Joe replied. "How did you know my mum?" he asked quietly. "can I show you? joe asked while he reached to pull something out of backpack. Couple seconds later, he pulled a pensieve out of it. "oh no, im not doing that again." harry said with cheeks red of embarrassment of what happened the last time he looked into it. "oh posh. the last time you did it, you had no supervision" joe said while taking a wand and pulling some silver stuff that harry recognized was memory with wand. and there was a lot of it. "this time however" Joe said with a crooked smile. "you have my permission. and besides, i have some things to do today." joe said. "so when you're ready harry, look into the pensieve. then if you have any questions about anything you saw in my memories, you can talk to me later." joe also added. Harry nodded and then proceeded to look into the pensieve, wondering what he would find.

Flashback:

"Move it pint size." Harry heard a tall and gorilla like third year who reminded him of Goyle. Harry then proceeded to follow a small 11 year old Joseph Smith to a compartment on the Hogwarts express. "Can I share a compartment with you guys? he heard the 11 year old smith say. "of course you can. " he heard a girl's voice say to smith. "thank you" smith replied. When Harry looked into the compartment, he let out a small gasp. he was looking at a 11 year old version of his mother with a boy that harry also recognized was a younger version of Snape. "so..." joe said awkwardly, "what are your guys's names?" he asked shyly. "Lilly Evans." lilly replied happily. "Severus Snape." the young version of snape said extended his hands to shake them with smith. Smith took Severus's hands and shook them quite diligently. "may we ask, what is your's." lily asked politely. "joseph. Joseph Smith. but you can call me Joe." he responded hopefully. "Well I like that name." lily stated. "thank you" joe replied. there was an awkward silence. "which house do you guys think your going to be in?" joe asked trying to bring up new subject. "Slytherin" Sev said. harry was not surprised when he heard this. "well that's fairly obvious." a voiced drawled behind Harry. Harry looked behind him and saw a 11 year old version of James potter and Sirius Black. "yeah your right potter, he's slimy enough to be in it." Harry was shocked to hear this coming from the boy that would be his father and the other boy that would be his godfather. "So what if he's in it?" a furious voice rang from behind harry. "You hardly know the guy, and now your picking on him. give severus a break will you, potter ?" joe finished angrily. "whatever, kid. " james replied with his eyes rolled. "C'mon black, lets get out of here."

the memory changed to the sorting ceremony as harry was stuck contemplating on what the actual hell did he just saw. It was until he saw his mother getting sorted into Gryffindor with Joe did he stopped thinking for a second. Once again the memory changed. this time, the memory was near the black lake. when everything stopped changing, Harry saw his dad and the other marauders bully Snape near the black lake. He saw Snape trying to defend himself but was held down by black. "LEAVE HIM ALONE !" came the cry of a girl's voice that harry guessed was his 15 year old mother. Along side her, was a 15 year old Joseph Smith. "You heard her you morons, leave Sev alone !" Smith said with the On Coming Storm in his eye's. "Or what smith? you go crying to your mummy and daddy?" Sirius sneered. "No, if you don't apologize right now to Sev right now, im going to break my foot of in your ass." joe retorted. Harry was stunned at the amount of balls Joe had when it came to defending his friends. "C'mon Snape, these pricks aren't worth it." Lily whispered trying to get him to his feet. "I don't need help from little Mudbloods like you !" Harry heard snape say loudly. "What did you just to her, Severus?" joe asked him quite dangerously. "You heard what I said" Snape replied in the same cold voice. "it's alright Joe." lily said coolly. "Sev, you and I are through." lily said tearfully. She then walked back to the castle, sniffling all the way. "Wait, Evans!" harry heard his dad cry. "SHE'S DEALING WITH A LOT OF SHIT THANKS TO YOU !" joe bellowed. "JUST BECAUSE SHE BROKE UP WITH SEV, DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S INSTANTLY AVAILABLE!" Harry was surprised with how long Joe can yell. "Oh shut your trap, Smith." James replied coolly. "No! I don't have to Potter. In fact, you need too. With that big head of yours, you'll go no where." joe retorted. As he got up to leave, he saw that Snape was on the ground stunned with what just happened. "Oh by the way sev, here's your wand. And remember this, I may forgive you for what you said but lily may not." Joe said with a look of pity on his eyes. Harry was amazed on how joe can be cold one second and then be compassionate the next. moments later, the memory swirled and the scene changed. Harry was then sitting on a chair in the Gryffindor common room. the only people that were there were joe, lily and himself. "why joe?" harry heard his mother cry into joe as he was hugging her. "Why would Sev say that?" "Lils, I think it's safe to say that he didnt mean to say it." joe said in a hushed voice trying to sooth her. "what do you mean?" she responded crying. "He was under pressure and he was being humiliated. And people do crazy things when they're like that." Joe tried to reason with her. "You know he would never say that. Or" he hesitated. "Maybe he was influenced by all those slytherins that he hangs out with. They probably talk about god-knows- what when they're together." Joe said in a low soothing voice. Harry had to concur "it's just the fact that I don't want to be alone. Your probably only doing this to shut me up." she said determinedly. "Lily Rose Evans" joe said in a outraged voice. " You are my friend. And all i'm doing right now is calming you down and trying to help you." he finished wiping away her tears with a tissue he conjured. "Don't even think for a damned second that i'm trying to hurt you even more." he told her in a serious and quiet voice. "I also..." he said trying to get the right words to come out but couldn't. "You also what, Joe?" lily finished softly, with her right hand on his left cheek. "I also have feelings. Feelings for you." he muttered into her ear. Her eyes wrenched open at the words he just muttered. "well if it makes you feel better, I have feelings for you after you defended me from Potter earlier." Joe was astounded. Harry was stunned. "Why miss evans" joe said teasingly. "I think you just stole my heart." After he said that, lily locked joe into a passionate kiss. Occasionally, one would let out a groan as both partners allowed the other one access to their tongue's and throats. for joe, this was heaven. for harry, it was educational.
