"Err, Professor Snape told me that he was interested in blokes," Harry began nervously as he swallowed hard, "I thought he had feelings for my mum?" He asked.
Remus shook his head, "You found out that your mother did the spell on you and bonded to him, right?" He asked as he saw Harry nodding. "Well, this was during our days here at Hogwarts and Severus had a little crush on your father, James," he began.
Remus saw the utter shock coming from Harry. "What? But I thought dad always fancied on mum?" He asked.
Remus sighed, "The marauders were complicated when they were young, Harry," he said. "I started dating Sirius when we were in fifth year together," he said as he recieved another utter shock from Harry and that Remus realized that Sirius had never told him that he was gay and that he dated him. "During that time, Severus was always hanging around Lily since Severus knew that James was after her," he explained.
"Oh, I get it," Harry said nodding, "my dad thought Severus wanted Lily and that caused a rift against them, right?" He asked.
"Well, not exactly," Remus said fidgeting.
"Your mother and Severus were always together," Horace piped up as the two looked at him, "every where you turn, you see them walking together side-by-side. Everyone thought that they were dating," he explained.
Remus nodded, "One day, your dad almost gotten into a duel with Severus in broad daylight. However, Severus told James loud and clearly that he wanted him. Severus wasn't in love with Lily but with him," he said pausing before continuing, "James was homophobic. He never supported my relationship with Sirius at all. That was why James had lured Severus into the Shrieking Shack so that I could attack him during my transfiguration. If it wasn't for Sirius, Severus would have been killed," he said.
"Wait, my dad lured him in there? I thought it was Sirius!" Harry exclaimed.
Remus shook his head, "At the end, Severus knew that he could never get James and he was pretty happy for Lily when she decided to marry him. As for Severus, he decided to date continuously," he said as he saw Harry's confused face, "he dated numerous blokes until your mother, Lily, decided to bond you with him," he explained.
"Your mother was a beautiful woman, Harry," Horace said sadly, "she was always the genius one during Potions," he said.
"Um, Professor Slughorn," Harry began as he ignored Remus for the moment, "you fully know that my mother was a very brave person," he said as he saw Horace nodding. "You could be brave too," Harry continued as he didn't saw Remus's puzzled face, "you could be brave by giving me that memory of killing Dumbledore. Don't you want to make my mother proud, professor?" He asked.
"I...I can't!" Horace exclaimed.
"Please professor," Harry tried again, "the fate of the Wizarding World lies within your grasp. You don't want to disappoint my mother and failing her by not protecting me, do you?" He asked.
"Harry, I do not want you to think less of me. What I did in the past, was something regretful. I do not want to see your disappointment on me," Horace said.
"I won't be sir. I'll be the most proud that you finally gave it to me," Harry said and with that, he saw Slughorn put his wand against his hair and he took out a small vial from his pocket. He began to take out a small silver memory and he slowly put it inside the vial.
"I suggest you see Professor Snape immediately so that you won't loose it," Horace suggested.
"Yes sir!" Harry exclaimed beaming.
After that session with Slughorn and Lupin, he had no idea where Professor Snape had gone to. He began walking away from the DADA door and he almost ran straight into Draco Malfoy who was going to the same direction to where Harry had come from.
"Harry, I didn't saw you there mate! Where you heading to?" Draco asked.
It was almost weird hearing someone call 'mate' after six long years of rivalry between the two. "Oh, um, I was wondering where Professor Snape would be," Harry replied.
"It's funny that you ask that question," Draco said with a frown, "I saw him at the greenhouse as he wanted to speak to Professor Sprout about something. I know that he isn't the Potion teacher here anymore, but I'm guessing he still brews potions for the infirmary every time and then since Madame Pomfrey trusts him more then and Professor Slughorn. He may still be there or else if he isn't, you should check down at the dungeons if his already started brewing," Draco explained.
"Thanks Draco," Harry said nodding as he began to walk away but turned back to look at him, "what were you doing at the greenhouse and coming here for, Draco?" He asked as he had never imagined that Draco would be lingering at the greenhouse.
"Oh, um, I was looking for Neville to see if he was at the greenhouse," Draco explained as he smiled, "you know, he wants to be a teacher here like Professor Sprout, y'know. I'm so proud of him," Draco said happily and with that, he left without even answering Harry's second question.
He knew that the Felix Felicis Potion was really working that day since first, he had gotten the memory from Slughorn and he found out more about Snape's orientation, and then he was walking half way to the greenhouse when he bumped into Snape who was walking straight to him. "Professor, I need to speak to you immediately!" Harry exclaimed and he saw that there were several students lingering about the corridor as he probably knew that it was close to dinner time.
"Mr. Potter, I do believe that I don't have time to chat with you. You see, it is close to dinner time and I must go and speak to Minerva," Severus said.
"But sir, I've gotten the memory from Professor Slughorn. He said to ask you to see the memory with me," Harry pleaded.
Severus looked around the corridor and even though there were a few students, he didn't trust any one of them. "Mr. Potter, tomorrow is your Quidditch game against Slytherin, is it not?" He asked as he saw him nodding, "after the game, you'll be serving detention with me and we could have dinner together. Oh yes Mr. Potter, you won't be going to the Great Hall for dinnner tomorrow. You have more important things to do in your time," Severus said grinning and with that, he left Harry alone in the corridor who had a puzzled look on his face.
