Discovery, Secrets and a Bit of Magic
Chapter 3 – Revelations
Later that day, Harry brushed past Snape on his way to see Lupin after work.
"Watch where you're going, Potter!" Snape hissed through gritted teeth. His hands flew to his stomach. It was then that Harry noticed that Snape had a rather large bump.
Harry burst into Lupin's room ten minutes later, red-faced and gasping for air. Lupin could tell something was up. "Why didn't you tell me Snape was pregnant?" Harry asked angrily.
"Because...well, he told me to tell you, all right? What's the big deal, anyway? You're only going to go and tease him about it," Lupin replied tersely.
"It matters because he's being a total and utter bastard to me at the minute. Even worse than usual. I couldn't figure out why, but now I know. And I won't tease him about it, now that you mention it."
"Harry, you don't understand! If he finds out I told you, he will actually kill me. I swore on pain of death I wouldn't tell you or anyone else. You can't say anything!"
"Yeah, sure, Remus. Snape's probably more worried I'm going to put something in his food or something. Well, anyway, tell him I send my best wishes," said Harry, walking out of the room.
"You wish me to die? Or something equally horrible to happen to me?" Lupin shouted after Harry, now getting angry himself.
But Harry was already far away.
"Harry sends his best wishes," Lupin told Snape the next time he saw him, hoping Snape wasn't going to turn him into that night's dinner or something. Angry Snape was not something to smile about.
"I bet he does," replied Snape sarcastically.
"Don't you wonder how he knows?" Lupin asked, praying inwardly.
Realisation dawned on Snape's face, and he turned red. "You told the brat, didn't you?" he snarled. Lupin backed away nervously. Snape flicked his wand at him.
"What have you done?" Lupin cried hysterically.
"Oh, you'll see when you go to Madam Pomfrey," sneered Snape nastily. At this, Lupin rushed out.
