Hospital Wing Professor Snapes Mind

Wizarding Hospital

Severus sat outside with Sirius Remus and Peter. Lily had just been rushed into hospital. She had gone into labour a few hours ago, and now he and the rest of the marauders were waiting outside her room. Severus was pacing back and forth, if any was to see him, they would assume that it was his child being born.

"Hey Batman, relax, Lily will be fine. James in their with her." Severus turned to look at Sirius, of course he was right.

James Potter was in their along with Lily Potter. Severus sighed, that could have been him by Lily side, if only he had not called her that dreaded name. Severus was still not sure what had caused him to call her it in the first place. The one action had pushed Lily firmly into James arms. Of course Severus use to be bitter about the whole thing, but he had now come to accept that James most likely was the right man for her. Severus was just pleased that he was able to safe his and Lily friendship. After all they had both been outcast in their family, who had found joy in being around each other. Severus remembered being thrilled to hear that he and Lily would both be attending Hogwarts. However those happy feeling soon evaporated when he was sorted in Slytherin and she was sorted into Gryffindor. It was almost a Romeo and Juliet story. Two people in opposite families who cared for each other, but were surrounded by other members who hated each other. However Severus and Lily had not allowed the great divide to ruin their friendship which had pleased Severus to no end. The trouble only started in his third year, when one of Lily house mates started to take an interest in her, and had become jealous of his and Lily friendship. This boy was of course James Potter and he and his group made Severus life unbearable for the rest of his school year. It was finally in his sixth year that things came to ahead. Severus was being bullied by James and his group once more, however Lily had decided to try help him. Severus closed his eyes as he recalled those five seconds that had changed everything between the two of them.

"I don't need your help Mudblood. I can take care of myself!" Severus still had no clue why he had said those words, but the damage was done, Lily never spoke to him again. It was only when they had left Hogwarts that the hatchet was finally buried. James and his group had apologised for everything and Lily had finally forgiven him.

"Wahh Wahh" Severus was pulled from his thoughts as he heard the cries of a child coming from Lily's room. The door flew open and an exhausted looking James Potter screamed at the top of his lungs. "He's here. Harry is finally here."

Severus and the rest of those waiting outside pushed past James into the room. Severus stood still and smiled as Lily held what look like a bundle of blankets in her arms. Severus could see Lily red hair was a mess and that she was totally exhausted. However he had never seen her smile so much. Severus noticed James brushed past him and stood by the side of Lily and held her hand.

"Now that Harry is finally here. Lily and I have an announcement to make. We thought that it would be only fair if each of us chose a God parent for Harry. So Sirius will you come here please."

Severus watched Sirius step forward, and say the oath binding him to Harry as his Godfather. Once the oath was sealed Sirius stepped back. Severus noticed Lily look and smile at him. "Severus I chose you as Harry other Godfather. Come say hello to your new Godson."

Severus stood there speechless. Lily had chosen him to be little Harry's Godfather, Severus had been certain it would have been Remus or Peter. Never in a million years did he think Lily would choose him. Severus stepped forward and then he too swore the oath making jim legally Harry's Godfather. Lily then gave him and small kiss on the check, before handing him Harry, so that the bond could finally be sealed. Severus looked down with tears in his eyes as he held Harry. He leaned down kiss the top of his head gently finally sealing the bond between a Godfather and his Godson.

Dream scape switch

Severus found himself pacing back and forth in his family home, as Albus Dumbledore stood before him. "Sorry you want me too do what now? Have you completely lost your mind Albus."

Dumbledore just sat on the sofa calmly. He had come here to ask Severus to do him a favour. "Severus we need to know what Voldemort is planning. Now that Peter has joined his ranks, there is no telling what he will tell Voldemort."

Severus eyes glared at the old fool now sitting on his sofa. It was the fools fault in the first place, for making Peter the secret keeper. Severus knew the rat couldn't be trusted, he had started to separate himself from the rest of them after the birth of Harry. "So because of your mistake, you want me to join Voldemort ranks and spy for the order. The answer is no Dumbledore. This is your mess you clean it up."

Dumbledore sighed before removing his wand. "I am sorry Severus, but you leave me no choice. Obliviate!"

Scene change

Severus stood in crowd filled with black robed figures. Each of them was wearing a silver mask. They were all stood around the throne of their master who was now standing in front of them.

"My Fellow Minions. Our good friend Peter here has given us the location of the blood traitor James Potter. Tonight I intend to visit there hiding place and send a message to Dumbledore and his bird club, by killing the entire family. This is our world and we will not be stopped!"

Everyone cheered, and watched their master get ready to complete his task. Of course only his inner circle knew the real reason why he was targeting the Potters. It was the child he was after, a child mentioned in a prophecy that one of his spy had overheard. Severus quietly approached his Lord.

"My Lord, Please spare Lily's life. Do what you want with James and the brat, but please do not kill her."

Voldemort turned to look into the face of Severus. "Does the Mudblood really mean that much to you Severus. Why would you want to soil your blood with the likes of her. There are many pure blood witches in our ranks. Why is this Lily so special?

Severus himself wasn't sure what was making him want to save his friend. She had left him for that Bloody Potter, but still something was nagging in the back of his mind , that no he had do everything to try save Lily. "She was my friend, we grew up together. The only reason we grew apart was because of Bloody Potter. I know with him out of the way, I can turn Lily to our ways. After all she is a very gifted witch."

Voldemort paused in thought. "Very well Severus, since you have been so loyal, I will grant this one request. I will not kill Lily Potter and you can have her to do as you wish."

End of dream Scape

Severus woke up, in a frenzy looking around. He then fell back onto his pillow. It had all been a dream or had it. Severus failed to noticed that someone was sitting by his beside. "Hello Professor, how are you feeling?"

Severus eye snapped to his bedside, where Harry was watching him. Severus suddenly broke down in tears. "Oh Harry, I'm so sorry, the old fool forced me to follow his will. I know that now. He forced me to join Voldemort ranks, and planted the memories of hatred I had for your father and mother back into my mind. Most importantly though he wiped the one memory that I truly should never had forgotten."

Harry sighed, before he finished Severus sentence. "I know professor, my parents made you my Godfather, and I know you now are feeling guilty at how you have treated me these last two years. However it wasn't your fault. You were the old fools puppet like everyone else in this wing right now."

Severus noticed Harry gestured for him to look around the hospital wing. Nearly every bed was full with a professor, some were still asleep, others were sitting up rubbing the back of there heads in confusion. Severus eyes widened. "You mean I wasn't the only one he was using?"

Harry shook his head. "No his strings were attached to every single one of you. I am just glad that the healer could restore your memories and remove all the spells the old fool placed on you. Anyway, I will allow you to rest, and if you want to talk later then I will be more then happy too." Just had Harry was about to leave, Severus grabbed his arm. "Harry I am so Sorry for everything."

Harry smiled at his Godfather, it seems Jenny hadn't been pulling his leg. "There nothing to be sorry for Professor." With that Harry hugged his Godfather, he noticed Severus seize up for the moment before returning the hug.

Outside Hospital Wing

Daphne and Hermione stood looking through the small window. Both were happy that Severus finally remembered who he was. Daphne sighed before turning to Hermione. "Okay, Granger spill, I want to know everything that happened last night, and don't give me any bull about you were just reading."

Hermione smiled and Blushed. "If you are asking if we went all the way, then the answer is no. However we did do a bit of exploring. But that was it, I assure you. Harry has already said he doesn't want to loose his virginity until at least fourth year and I am happy to wait."

Daphne narrowed her eyes, she wasn't certain if Hermione was telling the truth, however she decided that she would give her the benefit of the doubt. "So what was it like?"

Hermione looked at Daphne confused. "Sorry I don't understand. What are you referring too?" Hermione had a good idea what Daphne was referring to, but she wanted to be certain.

Daphne sighed, "You know, his, how was it." Daphne cheeks were tinted red as she tried to describe the lower part of her Harry anatomy."

Hermione giggled. "Oh Greengrass, well if you must now, he just right for a boy of his age. Not to big or not too small. In fact I would say it was perfect for both of us."

The two girls were interrupted from this discussion by Harry coming through the door. Harry noticed the both Hermione and Daphne was just standing there looking everywhere but at him. Harry wasn't sure what they had been talking about, but decided he didn't really care. After all it wasn't his business in the first place. "Come on you too, or we will be late for class."

One Hour Later

Harry and his girls left Ancient Runes. Harry was happy that he had chose this class over Divinations, at least he was learning something useful, instead of being told, he was going to die every time. They made there way down to the great hall where Harry spotted Professor McGonagall was arguing with someone dressed in a white jump suit who looked like he hadn't shaved for years.

"Look Minerva, I am free man. Please I want to see my Godson." Harry immediately knew who the man was and run towards the commotion. He tried to squeeze past the headmistress to get to Sirius but found it was no good.

"Minerva was doing her best to restrain Black from entering the school. She herself knew he was innocent, but she wasn't going to allow him into the school, especially the way he was dressed. Just then she noticed the air around her began to get cold. "Impossible I thought they had all been recalled."

Harry wondered what his headmistress was talking about, until he himself could feel the air starting to chill around him. He held his head as the screams filled his head once more. He then noticed five Dementors were gliding towards his Godfather and the headmistress. Harry growled, ignoring the screams he raised his wand and shouted at the top of his lungs. "Expecto Patronum!"

Just like on the train, Harry's stag erupted from his wand and charged at the Dementors who were now screeching in panic as his stag kept them from their prize. Soon the Dementor had taken all they could handle and glided away from the school.

"Prongs!" Harry turned to see Sirius was looking at the now spectral stag that was standing by him. Harry smiled and allowed the stag to vanish, he turned to his Godfather. "Hello Sirius" However the happy reunion was soon interrupted by Remus charging towards Sirius.

"I'll kill you traitor. How could you betray Lily and James." Harry could see things were going to turn nasty and quickly froze Remus from moving. He knew it was against school rules to use spells against teachers, but he needed to stop Remus before did some real damage."

"Professor please. Sirius never betrayed my parents. He has been given a Pardon by the Ministry, it was all over the prophet this morning, I am surprised you didn't read it."

Remus looked at Harry, before growling. "I wouldn't wipe my backside with that paper. I never read the prophet, its always full of lies and bias opinions."

Harry sighed. "Well had you read it, then you would have found out that I managed to apprehend Peter Pettigrew."

Remus eyes widened. "Impossible, Peter is dead because he killed him." Harry just shook his head, it seems they had forgotten one professor who needed his head testing.

Professor, Peter is very much alive. He framed Sirius by cutting off his finger and then escaping down a nearby drain, leaving Sirius at the mercy of the aurors who had arrived on the scene. In fact Peter has been hiding in these walls for the last five odd years. As a pet rat of my ex friend Ron Weasley. This summer I learnt a few things and one of them was the fact that Peter was the secret keeper, not Sirius, I also remembered reading in my fathers journal how you were all illegal animagus. Peter taking the form of the rat. I learnt over the summer what had happened all those years ago. I learnt that Sirius was my Godfather and that he could never betray me or my parents because of the oath he took when I was a baby. I am surprised you forgot that actually. However it was while watching Ron's rat that I noticed one of its toes was missing, so I decided to follow up on a hunch. I trapped the rat. I arranged a meeting with Amelia Bones. Who confirmed my hunch by revealing that the rat was someone in disguise and that person was Peter Pettigrew, who is now being held at the Ministry awaiting his trial."

Harry could see Remus had finally calmed down, however Harry decided to stun him much to the surprise of all who had gathered around them now. Harry turned to see Minerva and Sirius just looking at him speechless. Harry sighed. "Professor I thing it might be a good idea for the healers to have a look at Professor Lupin. Who know what the old fool has done to his poor mind."

Minerva nodding in approval. She then turned to Sirius. "Now Black, I suggest you go away and get yourself cleaned up a little. Then you may return and see Harry."

Sirius lowered his head, he turned to Harry. "Harry I am really sorry for everything I have done, and hope that now I am a free man, then you will give me the opportunity to make it up to you."

Harry walked up to Sirius and hugged him. "Go get yourself cleaned up you old dog. Don't worry I will be here when you get back. We have a lot of catching up to do. Plus I have to special people I would like you to meet later.

Sirius hugged Harry back, and then broke the hug still holding on to Harry. "Its a deal Pup."
