The Alchemy Professor | Severus Snape

Chapter 29

I went to my grandparents today, this is why the update is so late :)

Question of the chapter : In which magical school do you want to go ?

I am pretty tired. Sorry in advance for the spelling errors.

Reader's P.O.V :

" Peter Pettigrew. "  He says.

My eyes widen. Peter ? Is he alive ?

Of course he is.

The map is flawless.

If he is alive then...

My mind starts racing.

I really saw him 2 years ago.

He has been under my nose for so long.

How didn't I notice him earlier ?

Neither me nor Katie in our maps.

" Professor L/N ? Did you know Peter Pettigrew ? He was a friend of my father. " Harry speaks.

My pupils dilate. HOW THE HELL DID HE KNOW ABOUT PETER AND WHO HE IS ?

Should I lie to him ? Should I tell him about me, Remus, Sirius, James and Peter ?

He is not ready yet.

" Who doesn't know Peter and his pitiful luck. How can someone die leaving only a finger behind ? " I pretend to be sad.

Only a finger behind...

Second by second I start realising that he is alive.

Sirius didn't kill him that terrible day.

Sirius helped Hagrid to move Harry into safety.

Sirius never betrayed the order.

I need to find and speak with him.

Peter is alive and he is most likely to have killed the muggles.

Oh the bitch. 

" Professor ? " Harry asks.

I look at him.

" Keep the marauder's map. It's a powerful artifact, it must not fall into the wrong hands. Stay always alert and if you see me and professor Snape being together, don't pay attention. " I respond.

Harry nods.

" Do you think that Sirius Black wants to kill me professor ? " He inquires.

I observe the child in front of me. From his expression I can clearly see that he must have been thinking of this for a while now.

" No, Harry. I don't. " I assure him smiling.

Harry nods.

" Go now and sleep. You need it. " I dismiss him.

He gives me a warm smile before disappearing out of the classroom.

I leave the classroom. I run out of the castle.

I need to find him. Where is he ?

I gaze at the full moon outside. 

He must not be at the Shrieking Shack due to Remus.

Without thinking I enter the forbitten forest.

It's forbitten only for the students, not for the professors.

I walk throught the trees. He should be close. Or he may be near the black lake.

The black lake is my next destination.

" Sirius ! " I call for my friend.

No answer.

" Sirius, please. Where are you ? " I shout.

No response. I sigh and turn to leave.

Suddenly, something comes into contact with my legs.

I peek down only to see a black dog, the black dog.

" Come, let's go to the black lake to talk. " I say and pat the dog.

We leave the forest and sit against a tree near the lake. Sirius turns into his human form.

" Hello Furry. " He greets me smiling.

I smile back. " Hey padfoot. " Even if I didn't like Sirius after what he have done to Katie. We have been together (not always as a couple) from school and then later at the order.

" You didn't kill Peter, did you ? " I question.

" No. Not yet. This is why I am here actually; to kill him. " He replies.

I raise an eyebrow. " Why do you want him dead ? " I ask my old friend.

" Because he is the one who betrayed Lily and James. He is behind their deaths. He is the reason why Harry grew up without his parents, among muggles who don't respect him. He is why I went into Azkaban. I want to have my revenge. " Sirius answers.

I nod totally believing him. I can see when someone lies or speaks the truth due to my Legilimency powers.

He is telling the truth.

" I will help you. " I tell him.

Sirius looks at me surprised. " You will ? "

" Yes. "

" Thank you. "

" Thank me after having the job done. " I say.

Sirius grins. " My favorite Ravenclaw assists me. We can do it. " He tells me.

I stand on my feet. " I will return to the castle. See ya later. " 

Sirius follows suit. " Take care. " He wishes my good bye and kisses my forehead.

I look at him while he turns back into his dog form.

Neither me nor him noticed the black figured staring at us with jeasouly.
