3. 1-3 The Revelation

1.3 The Revelation

The whole class was in shock including the Slytherins. Everyone could hear Harry's ear-splitting screams and knew something was very, very wrong. They heard him crying out in his sleep.

"Please Uncle Vernon, please stop." he cried out.

Snape loathsome as he was, did try to help.

"Wake up Potter" he shouted as he shook him.

Harry didn't wake up.

"Aguamenti" he cast.

A jet of ice cold water hit Harry but he still didn't wake up.

"Ennervate" he cast.

Needless to say, Harry still didn't wake up.

A few minutes later

Harry did wake up

"Class dismissed" Snape shouted, his voice ringing throughout the classroom.

Harry ran out of the classroom as fast as his legs would carry him, but Snape wasn't having any of that.

"Not this time, Potter" Snape smirked

"What did you dream?" Snape demanded.

"You Know Who tortured some muggles" Harry effortlessly lied.

"Do not insult my intelligence Potter, I know when you lie. Oh and since when did The Dark Lord go by the name Uncle Vernon?" Snape said with a smug expression on his face.

"N-n-no I won't tell you" Harry shakily said.

"I will use Veritaserum, Potter" he threatened.

"Go ahead, see if I care" Harry said, with fake bravado.

"Open wide, Potter" Snape said as he came back with the potion in his hand.

Snape uncorked the vial and poured the contents into Harry's mouth and Harry swallowed. Harry was then engulfed into the foggy effects of Veritaserum.

"Does your uncle abuse you?" Snape asked.

I was about to say yes but I closed my mouth. I fought the veritaserum for control but the effects left me feeling sick.

"Congratulations Potter not many can resist the effects of veritaserum but give up before you make yourself sick" Snape advised.

"No, you'd just use that against me" I replied.

"I am not that much of a heartless bastard" Snape said with shock.

"Really, so when have you shown me kindness?" I asked.

"I saved your life numerous times" Snape replied back.

"Only on the orders of Dumbledore and the dying wishes of my mother" I retorted.

"Professor Dumbledore to you, Potter" Snape told me.

"So how am I supposed to trust you it's not like you've given me reasons to" I shouted back.

"Potter, your mother trusted me. Lily trusted me even after our spat to name me one of your godfathers" Snape explained.

"WHAT" I said, bewildered.

"I am your godfather, that is what" Snape said with the last vestiges of his waning patience.
