Chapter 4
"SNAPE", Harry exclaimed.
Magic, felt by the other occupants in the room, power grew to extreme levels. Harry thrust out his hands; it seemed if an invisible force picked up Snape and hurled him out the office window. All the glass in the room exploded.
"HARRY!!!" Screamed Hermione at the top of her lungs, there was no stopping Harry. He walled slowly to the hated potions Master, Still hanging suspended in mid air.
"Potter, please!" Snape pleaded.
Dumbledore from his painting chanted "Hogwarts, servo vestri parvulus", Hearing the old headmaster's chat, McGonagall and Hermione Chanted along with him.
The walls of the room glowed a bright red and a flashing white, an ethereal voice resounded in the office and a solid form appeared. The form was a beautiful woman, looks to be in her thirties, had waist length red hair, and striking emerald green eyes. She was singing a glorious tune.
Harry's magic seems to bleed off and seep in to the walls of the castle. The window ledge grew and expanded allowing Severus Snape to softly land and crawl back into the office. The woman continued to sing until all the magic in the room seem to be absorbed into the walls. She embraced him from behind, "My child, child of my blood, child of my soul, be at peace. Anger and hatred will only lead to darkness, and darkness to death. You have so much to live for, hard times are ahead and you must master yourself."
Harry turned to her, "Mom?"
"Hush now, all will be revealed in time." She embraced him once more and disappeared once more.
Severus Snape was scared, not the afraid of the dark scared that most little boys get growing up, no he had never felt the amount of power Potter was giving off when he entered the room. Then he felt himself crash through the window and hang there almost nine stories high. He was so scared he might have soiled him self. Then he heard the wondrous song and he fell to the ledge and he crawled in the room. He saw a woman embracing Potter. She was slender, had bright green eyes, long auburn hair, and pointed ears. Besides the ears he could have sworn he was looking at the ghost of Lily Potter. He saw her embrace he once more and disappeared. He thought now would be a wise time to speak up.
"Potter, First I want to apologize for my behavior towards you over the years." Snape spoke very humbly.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Harry grinded out between clenched teeth,
"And why would I believe anything you have to say."
At this point Snape stood, looked to the portrait of Dumbledore, and began his tale," At the beginning of the year I was forced to make the unbreakable vow to protect Draco Malfoy in order to prove my loyalty to Lestrange. All through the year I had been trying to find out what Draco was up to. After no luck I had a chance to find out what he was up to when you cursed him and I used legilmency on him while his shields were down, I found out his mission was to kill Professor Dumbledore. I informed the headmaster and made me make another vow that if Draco was to get close enough to succeed then I was to do it in his place. I only agreed the Headmaster told me that he was an elf and he could not really die. The night it happened I hesitated and Dumbledore contacted me through legilmency and told me all will be ok. So I said the killing curse and thought all would be okay. I ran with the rest of the death eaters and since I have done that I have cemented my position in the Dark Lords Inner Circle. I am here today to offer you my services as I had, Albus." Snape concluded softly.
Harry was lost in thought for a moment, a pin could be heard if it was to drop. "While that is well and good I have no reason to trust you based on your words alone. Would you be willing to swear on your Magic and give me an oath of truth?"
Snape nodded and begun, "I, Severus Snape, swear on my life and magic to be truthful and honorable with my dealing to Harry James Potter." The completion of the oath showed a flash of light go into Snape.
"Now, what Information do you have that can help me?" Harry Asked.
"Well I can get the locations of the remaining Horcruxes, I will try to have them by the end of August, Since the headmaster has stated that you have a few things that must completed in that time. I will take my leave now."
After Snape left, Harry turned to the portrait and asked the professor, " Sir, who was that women?"
