End of anamosity
Harry and his friends sat down at the Gryffindor table for dinner. Ron loaded a crazy amount of food on his plate and tucked in. Harry looked at him and grinned. He didn´t feel hungry at all. He was so overwhelmed with everything that happened in the last couple of days. He yearned after a little alone time so he could break down. He forced his face to look as relaxed as possible always aware that someone was watching him. He looked up when the evening mail came and saw Hedwig making her way to him. He took the daily prophet from her and offered her his plate with his untouched food. He unrolled the paper and handed it to Hermione who read the article to them.
It is official, the heir of the founders has arrived
Today I received an invitation from one of the Gringotts workers. The letter told me that Gringotts has information affecting all of wizarding Britain. As a reporter I got curios and decided that a visit was necessary and boy I was right.
When I came to the bank and asked for the goblin that wrote to me, I was showed to his office. He told me something no one of us could have ever imagined. The heir of the founders Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin has come forward. He told me that today a young woman came to him to claim the founder’s vaults. After making sure the woman was who she claimed to be, she gained access and looked through the vaults. I asked the goblin after the identity of this young woman, but he told me that it is her wish to stay anonymous for the time being. She also said she wants it known that as of now she has not claimed Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry. She claims that she has full confidence in the Headmaster (Albus Dumbledore) and expressed no wish to change the school or its leader. Implying that she knows Dumbledore and trusts him.
Who is this woman who with no doubt must be a powerful witch with such strong blood running threw her veins? It is a great mystery. Many years ago, the family descending from Ravenclaw and Slytherin was murdered. To this day no one knows who was responsible for the death of the family but when the line of these great founders ended there, how can there be a descendant?
Many questions open to be answered.
Susanna Willis
Harry watched Dumbledore as Hermione read to them. He found it amusing seeing Dumbledore go pale as he read the article before a smug smile entered his face undoubtedly as he read the part of the heir having no intentions in interfering within Hogwarts. When Hermione finished Ron looked at Harry a wide grin on his face.
“Good move mate. Throwing everyone of like that.” Hermione nodded. Harry could have sworn to see pride in her eyes.
“Let´s go guys. Snape left a few minutes ago.” They agreed and together they left the hall to go down to the dungeons.
Snape pasted in his office waiting for the trio to arrive when he heard a knock on his door. He strode towards it expecting the three Gryffindors and was surprised when it was Draco Malfoy who looked at him when he opened the door.
“Hello Draco, is everything okay?” He got no reply, so he stepped aside and let him in.
“What´s wrong?” He asked.
“Nothing, I mean not really I wanted to talk to you.” He said and sat down in one of the chairs across from Snape´s desk. “Is it a bad time?”
“No, you know you can always come to me, you are my godson I will be here when you need me.”
“Thanks, Sev, I´m glad to hear it.” They fell silent for a while.
“What is going on Draco. You want to talk then talk.” He said getting impatient.
“Did you notice Potter changed quite a lot since the whole Prophesy thing?” He asked.
“Yes, yes I did but what do you expect? His godfather died.”
“Yeah, I know It´s just he´s more serious about everything. He doesn´t take my bate´s anymore and he seems more focused.”
“Are you going to tell me Potter is growing up? How outrages.” Snape said heavy sarcasm in his voice.
“Oh, come on I mean it. This is serious I need your help.” Malfoy spat getting annoyed.
“Alright go on.”
“I followed him around a bit last year. He went to the room of requirement a lot. Sometimes alone but mostly with weasel and the mudblood.”
“Careful Draco” Snape said in a dangerous voice “You know I do not tolerate this kind of language. If you want my help, you will stop this immediately.” Draco looked at him.
“Fine, then with Weasley and Granger. Better?” he didn´t wait for an answer. “Like I said they went there a lot and one time I was able to sneak in with them. They were training. Weasley is decent and Granger is very good but Potter...” He stopped searching for the right words.
“Potter is exceptional. He did things last year that I know for a fact you only learn in training when you become an auror. He produced a Patronus Severus, and he could touch it.” At that Snape´s eyes widened.
I didn´t know that is possible, Snape thought.
“I never heard of such a thing.”
“And why may I ask is this of importance to you?” Snape asked. Malfoy was silent.
“I don´t want to follow HIM Sev. I don´t want to kiss the hem of his robes every time I see that thing. I want to live through this war, and I think he doesn´t stand a chance against Potter and Dumbledore. I want to fight for the light. I don´t want to live in a world ruled by this maniac. And since last year Potter has this power radiating from him. I really think he is going to save us all as loathe as I am to admit it”
He swallowed hard not knowing what to expect. Snape was the only one who could help him and if he were wrong and Snape is loyal to the dark lord Draco just signed his death certificate. Snape watched him with a calculating look.
“Good!” He said finally and walked around his desk to give his godson a hug. “Listen to me Draco. I can´t tell you all I want right now but promise me one thing. Don´t talk to anyone about this until I speak to you again. I will help you I swear it. All I can say is that I joined a new party in this war. You must know neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort is a good choice to pledge yourself to. I can´t say more I will have to talk to the others first but promise me you won´t talk to anyone about this.” Draco stared at him disbelieving.
“You mean it don´t you?” he asked. Snape nodded. “Alright I trust you Severus, I will put my faith in you, I will not betray you I swear it.”
“I´m proud of you Draco. I really am. It is not easy to turn your back on family because you have different values. Trust me I know. I am so glad you decided to go your own way and not follow your parents into doom. I´m afraid I must ask you to leave. I´m expecting my new comrades every minute now and I think it would be best if you don´t know who they are yet.”
“Okay uncle Sev. Thank you.” He said and left. Snape smiled after him. Yes, everything would play out fine.
The next time someone knocked on his door it was whom he was expecting. He let them in, and they followed him into his private quarters. His pensive already sat on his desk and he didn´t gave them a chance to sit down. Harry sighed. His head was spinning.
“Please guys can you just watch this one without me. I need a little time to clear my thoughts. Please?” He looked at them.
“Alright Potter, I do not like it, but I understand it has been much.” Harry exhaled relief written all over his face.
“Thank you.” He pulled his memories into the pensive and watched as one after the other entered it to view the memory. Harry sat down on the couch. He was shaking lightly and tried to will it away. The evening was not over yet. He had not the time for a nervous breakdown. Snape and his friends wouldn´t be in there for long so he placed his head in his hands and tried to calm himself. By the time they exited the pensive he was at least partially successful.
“Mate, that was awesome. I mean they were there, actually standing in front of you.”
“Yes, I know I was there.” Harry said. “I almost wed myself then and there. I couldn´t believe it.” They all agreed.
“So, is it time for presents now?” Ron asked excitedly.
“I can give them to you now. They are in the trunk we could sit down there for a while. Professor before I forget it, I would like to have a pensive too. Sometimes I need a rest from all that.” Snape nodded.
Harry took the trunk out of his pocket and enlarged it to his original size.
“Come on then. We should be able to talk down there without fearing the old man listening in.” They followed them down the stairs and Harry told them to sit down. He went to the room he picked earlier to get the presents. He chose the larges from the five bedrooms for himself. He needed a little space after all the time in the cupboard under the stairs. He came back with the packages and handed them out to the group. He blushed when he handed Snape his packed. It was quite big, and he turned around quickly and sat down to watch his friends unpack.
“Who wants to go first. I want to see the look on your faces, and I can´t do that if you unpack it at the same time.”
“Me!! ME!!” Ron shouted. Harry grinned and watched as Ron tore of the paper. His eyes became round when he saw the firebolt laying in front of him.
“HARRY! Are you serious? I can´t believe it thank you so much. It is the same one you have, right?” Harry nodded.
“Wait there is more.” He unpacked the flying gear and felt the material with his hands.
“Wow Harry thank you I don´t know what to say.”
“You don´t have to say anything. Don´t forget this is my thank you to you.” He smiled.
“Your turn Hermione.” He said excited and watched as she carefully unpacked the small package in her hands. She opened the jewellery box and gasped at the sight of the necklace, bracelet and earrings.
“Harry they are beautiful. Is that a diamond in the centre?” Harry nodded.
“The others are real as well, but I don´t know all of them.”
“It´s great thank you!” she said with tears in her eyes. She put on the necklace and Harry smiled. It suited her perfectly. It wasn´t flashy at all. Although there were many gemstones the pendent was small and delicately worked out. It was simple but elegant.
“It looks very nice Mione,” he smiled.
“Your turn Professor.” Snape had watched fascinated as Harry´s friends unpacked their gifts. Potter´s face was so full of joy as he watched his friends. As if he was the one who was getting the greatest gift.
`Maybe he´s right about that,` Snape thought. `I would prefer people I can trust over every gift.` Snape smiled as he realised that he gained exactly that the last couple of days. He was in, Harry, Ron and Hermione are very tight and didn´t trust people outside their circle of trust but somehow Snape knew he was part of the group now. He was ripped from his thoughts when Harry told him he was to unpack his gift.
“I think I would like you to call me Severus when we are in private, all of you. We are building something here and I think it would be good if we are all on first name bases.” Three pairs of eyes looked at him astounded.
“Okay Severus. Your turn.” Harry said and smiled at him. Snape was nervous. He didn´t like to be the centre of attention. He unwrapped his package and was thrilled at the sight of what was inside. This must have been the finest potion equipment he ever saw. He had everything a potions master could wish for. He swallowed moved by the gesture.
“Thank you, Pott...” Harry raised an eyebrow at him. “...Harry. This is very generous.” Harry smile widened.
“Your welcome Severus. I am glad that we could set our differences aside.” They looked into each other’s eyes for a moment too long. Hermione cleared her throat and looked at them knowingly.
“I am glad about that too, Severus. I like this side of you much more.” Ron nodded his agreement smiling shyly.
“You do know that I cannot change my behaviour in class. I must maintain my status with the dark lord so I can´t be nice all the sudden. Dumbledore too would get suspicious.”
“Of course, we understand.” Hermione said with a smile.
“Do you think you could do it again?” Snape asked.
“Do what?” Ron asked.
“Accept someone, overlook the past and set your differences aside?”
“I guess that depends on who the person is.” Hermione said.
“It´s obvious who he´s talking about.” Harry said.
“Really and who is it then?” Ron asked. Hermione caught on and she and Harry spoke at the same time.
“Malfoy.”
“Malfoy? You want us to make peace with Malfoy? You´re kidding right. He was a git to us since day one. Why?”
“So was I Ron, and to answer your question because he is my godson.” Severus said. Ron didn´t know what to say to that so he stayed silent.
“I think I would be willing to do that. Or at least try. Are you sure he isn´t loyal to snake face?” Harry asked.
“Yes, I am. He came to speak with me just before you arrived. He told me and I believed him.”
“Why?” Ron asked again.
“Because he came to me not knowing of my own loyalties. He risked me betraying him to the dark lord, but he still asked for help. He is desperate and he wants out.”
“I want to trust your judgement Severus I do but the Malfoys are so deep in it with the dark lord.” Harry shook his head.
“So… you won’t help him. I understand.” Snape said bitterly.
“I didn´t say that.” Harry said. “I will help him we need to be careful though with what information we give him until we are sure he is trustworthy. I will never turn away someone in need. I am NOT Albus Dumbledore.” He said rage in his eyes.
“You mean it? You will help him?” Snape asked.
“Yeah mate, you sure? It´s Malfoy we are talking about.” Ron threw in.
“Yes, I´m sure Ron. Think about it if you would have grown up with Lucius Malfoy as your father how do you think you would you have turned out? We learn our values from our parents. He acted like that in the first years because he didn´t know anything else. Then he acted like it to get his parents approval. It is in our late teens that we figure out our own values and limits. If he decided for himself that the dark side is bad after experiencing what it would be like the rest of his life, then good for him. I`ll take it.
But Severus I will not accept his crab. I will not help him if he keeps calling people mudbloods and blood traitors and walks around like he is the king of the world. If we build this new party in this war this will be the site of tolerance and acceptance. We will need an inner circle for the big decisions, but no one will treat anyone less then himself. Anyone with that kind of attitude can turn around and walk away.” Harry ended his monolog and looked at them daring them to disagree whilst massaging his scar. It hurt and Harry knew what was coming.
“I will be right back.” Harry managed to press out before heading for the loo.
He closed the door and immediately went to his knees. His hand pressed over his scar, desperately trying not to make any noise. His vision blurred and he closed his eyes seeing what Voldemort was up to this time.
Back in the living room the others talked about him.
“He is pretty incredible isn´t he?” Snape asked.
“He is the best person I know.” Hermione said.
“Yeah, me too. He has so much love inside him. If I grew up like he did I wouldn´t care about anyone. I mean if I were him, I would think. Fuck you all. Get yourself another saviour. Dumbledore he… I can´t even say it I am so mad. It is his fault that Harry had such a terrible life. I will never forgive him for what he did and he didn´t do it to me.” He shook his head in rage.
“Indeed.” Was Severus´s answer a murderous glare on his face at the thought of his employee.
Suddenly an agonized scream came from the bathroom. They jumped up and ran to the door.
“HARRY!” Hermione screamed. Harry couldn´t answer the pain too much. All he could do was scream.
“HARRY! WE ARE COMING IN!” Ron yelled and kicked in the door. There on the floor lay Harry Potter twitching and twisting. As soon as the door opened Hermione and Ron sprang to action. Hermione turning Harry´s head on the side and Ron holding him down. Snape stood there watching them frozen to the spot. After fifteen minutes of screaming Harry suddenly stopped. Ron and Hermione turned him on his side just in time before Harry threw up shaking violently. Sweat running down his face. Hermione took out a handkerchief cast a cooling spell on it before pressing it against Harry´s forehead. Harry tried to level out his breath, but he was in a panic, so Severus summoned a calming draught and handed it to Hermione who pressed it against his lips. Harry drank it down.
“Severus do you have a pain reliever too?” Hermione asked. Snape nodded and summoned it. Hermione made Harry drink it as well, while Ron vanished the evidence of Harry throwing up.
“What happened Harry?” Hermione asked. Harry shook his head.
“Tell us!” Ron snapped.
“I can´t Ron I can´t speak the words it´s too horrible. Believe me when I tell you, you DO NOT want to know! Please?” He said desperately.
“Alright let us get you back on the couch. I get Dobby to bring you something to eat.”
“NO!!! Hermione, I can´t!!” Harry went a little green. Snape winced as he brought two and two together.
“I think I know what kind of meeting he just witnessed. Cannibalism am I right?” he looked at Harry who nodded.
“WHAT??” Hermione shrieked. Ron went pale.
“Let´s get out of here I make tea.” They agreed and left the bathroom to go sit back down. Harry was silent for the rest of the evening. Only when his friends left, he told him he will see them later. He needed to talk to Severus. He knew only he could take the horror he just witnessed. Harry was not willing to talk about this kind of stuff with his friends. It was too disturbing.
“Sure you okay mate?” Ron asked. Harry assured him and told him not to wait up. They wished them a good night before leaving the trunk and Snape´s office leaving Harry and Severus behind.
