Lily Snape

Chapter 3

"These are your so called foster parents. They love you like an parent would. But we believe it is time for you to know the truth so you can figure out what you want to do with your life. Your parents look after you as if you were their own. They came to me in the time where I needed them most. I needed a suitable couple to look after you because you are in terrible danger."

I've heard enough for today. I flew out of the room trying to find an escape. An escape from my so called parents. An escape from my life. Why me? Why is it always me?

I rushed out of the house. I was heading towards the park where I spent most of my childhood pretending I had magical powers and that I had no parents to boss me around. I never believed for one second that this would happen to me.

I carried on walking. I didn't know where I was going but I knew I couldn't go back. Not just yet. I passed my old school and turned the corner to Little Tescos.

Dumbledore was standing there with a sympathetic look on his face.

"Please come back, Lily. Your parents are worried. I am so sorry. It is all my fault! Why am I such a horrible person!" Dumbledore started to cry.

"... You're not a horrible person. You just have your ways are telling people that their so called parents are not actrually their parents." Dumbledore looked up and gave a little chuckle.

"Let me take you back to my house. I would love to hear about your school." Dumbledore and I talked all the way home. Before I let him in, I wanted to ask a question. Well it was more like I needed to ask a question.

"Erm... I was wondering... Are my parents, I mean- biological parents, alive?"

"Yes. They are alive. Your mother is locked away in Azkaban. Azkaban is a magical jail. She got arrested by being a Death Eater - the most unpleasant follows to the mass murder, Lord Voldemort. She was caught while torturing two Aurors, which are dark wizard catchers." Dumbledore explained.

"She must be horrible. What about my Dad? Is he is Azkaban too?"

"Fortunately, he works at my school. He is the master of potions." Dumbledore smiled.

"One more question, please?" Dumbledore nodded. "Why my fifth year and not my others? I mean, why wasn't I allowed to Hogwarts before?"

As I have said before, you are in terrible danger and you shall find out why soon." I went to interrupt. "But now I think is time to have a nice cup of tea or a large brandy. Let's get back inside, Lily."
