Title: Harry Who?
Rating: T
Summary: Some things you want to forget; others you want to remember forever…. Sometimes remembering is not an option…
I left the office and I began walking. My legs seemed to be thinking for themselves. It was as if I had made this trip a million times before and did not even have to think where I was going.
I walked down stair case after stair case until I was standing in front of a classroom door.
"Excuse me?" I said as I saw the back of someone standing at the front of the room. It was Severus. "Severus!" I said excitedly.
Severus turned and looked at me. He did not look as excited as I felt. "Potter, what do you want?"
"I am looking for a Professor Snape," I said, "Professor Dumbledore believes Professor Snape can help me with something called Octopus or something."
"Occulmency," Severus said. "That man, nothing gets past him."
"What? So do you know who Professor Snape is or where I might find him or her?"
"Harry, I'm Professor Snape, Severus Snape."
I smiled, I was hoping he would be Snape as soon as I saw him. "So what is Occulmency? And why does Dumbledore think it will help me?"
"It is a way that I can get into your mind and read your thoughts, and also your memories. But I really do not think it is a good idea." Severus would not look at me.
"Oh," I was disappointed, I really wanted to spend time with him, not to mention I would like to know what I had forgotten. "Please? I know that Ginny said we had a history…"
"What did she say?" He said with anger.
"Just that we did not always get along. She didn't think you would be up to helping me. She thought you would be mean to me if I came down here."
I could see the anger in Severus' face. "Alright, I'll help you. But you have to trust me, and when I say we are not going to look at a memory you will listen to me. Got it?"
With the level of anger I could see on his face, I did not dare disagree with him. "Yes sir!"
"Stand there." Severus then said something, and I could see things in my head. It was like I was watching a muggle television or something. We stopped on a memory and Severus explained, "That is you," he said as I watched a little boy sitting on a stool in front of a lot of people, an older lady placed an old hat on my head, the hat began to speak. "This is your sorting, when you first came to Hogwarts," Severus told me.
Then again we were going through memories, I was sitting in this classroom. Severus was standing in front of the class, "This was your first day in my classroom." I could tell Severus did not want to stick around for this memory.
Again we were elsewhere. I was standing outside of a small hut it was outside of the castle, I could see Hermione and I were trying to free some kind of large bird with horse legs. "So you were the one who set the hippogriff free. I should have known."
"Oh, was that bad? Sorry."
"No, the creature was wrongly accused and was going to be killed." Severus seemed indifferent.
We went through memory after memory, I saw myself fighting someone called the Dark Lord, and I saw my friends. We never came to a memory that Severus said we would not be looking at.
