Born From Madness (Harry Potter Fanfic)

174

Harry was in an extra bad mood. He had a fight with Cho about her friend, who she had the nerve to defend after what Marietta had done to them then she had the nerve to say what Hermione did was cruel; especially with Marietta still in the hospital wing with everyone huddled around her trying to stop the bleeding from the wounds.Harry didn't know how to try to explain to Cho that Hermione meant to put down a pimple causing jinx instead of what happened, but he didn't know himself what went wrong. Because how could Hermione get a spell wrong. 

Then when he was down in Snape's office, he found Malfoy walking in and Snape told him how Harry was taking remedial potions before Snape and him went off to help someone whose head was stuck in a toilet. As Harry was walking away, he spotted what appeared like a pensieve. He couldn't stop the curiosity that was beaming inside himself. He soon found himself diving his face into the pensieve. He found himself standing in Snape's memory. It was the Great Hall and he could see Snape and other students huddled around; their hands rapidly moving across the parchment. He looked over to see this was the Defense Against the Dark Arts-- Ordinary Wizarding Level. 

As Harry looked around the room, he saw in another table there was his own father only younger. He then looked around to see all four of them were there. Of course they were all sitting at different tables (probably to avoid the four of them talking during the test). Then as he turned his head around to look at his father, his attention paused at a young woman. She had thick black hair and was wearing a Slytherin cloak. She was very beautiful; more beautiful than he ever seen. Then he happened to take a glimpse of her stunning eyes when he noticed... it was Elka! This was Hermione's grandma! 

Harry couldn't believe it, but then he remembered how Hermione told her about how Elka was at school with Snape and them. Then right beside her, Harry could see a young boy with long dark brown hair and beady, sapphire-blue eyes. Harry made the connection when the young boy smirked then scribbled on his parchment that this was Scabior! 

"Quills down, please!" Professor Flitwick spoke throughout the hall, "Remain seated while I collect your parchment! Accio!" 

Harry watched as the parchment went flying over to Flitwick, who then proceeded to let everyone leave. Harry watched as Elka packed her things and bolted from her seat with Scabior behind her and hurried over to Snape, who was following behind James and his friends. Harry followed behind them. 

"That was quite easier than I thought it would be. Especially that werewolf section. Thank you so much for helping me study for that, Scabior, I thought I was going to fail for sure." Elka told him as she lightly pinched his cheek, teasingly. Scabior laughed while likely slapping her hand away. 

"You're welcome, Betty." Scabior said. Betty! Harry screamed at himself, why were he calling her Betty? He didn't understand since this was clearly Elka. Did she have another name while she was attending Hogwarts? Did she changed it from Betty to Elka? But what would the reason be?  

"What's next on the list of long tedious tests?" Betty or Elka asked while she pulled out a book and began flipping through it. 

"I believe Transfigurations--" Snape started when...

"Hey! Snivellus!" 

The three of them paused with their heads shooting up. Harry followed their gazed to see James and Sirius walking up towards the three of them. 

"Oh no! Not this lot of pest again!" Betty spat while pulling her wand out before the other two and pointed directly at James, "Stay away from us James or else I'll bloody curse you and shrink your junk so you resemble a dolly than a man!" 

However, she didn't get the chance as her wand flew out of her hand and flung off to the side. It nearly poke someone in the eye. Betty hurried along to try and get it when she collapse to the ground, landing face first into the ground. Harry spotted that James had caused Betty's legs to lock together. Scabior hurried to help her as Snape proceeded to attempt to fight James; but found himself spitting out a stream of pink sop bubbles, choking him. 

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" 

Harry looked to see a girl with long red hair flying behind her, rushing up to Snape and Betty's defense. It wasn't until she saw the girl's eyes that Harry realized that it was his mother. 

"All right, Evans." James said, sounding suddenly pleasant while she rushed over to Betty's side to help her up onto a bench before turning her attention towards James. 

'What have they done to you?" Lily spat at him while she helped unbind Betty's legs just as Scabior returned Betty's wand. 

"Well it's more the fact that he exists, if you know what I mean..." James stated while onlookers (except Lupin and Lily) laughed. 

"You think you're funny? But you're just an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter! Leave them alone!" Lily growled at him while she moved her attention to help Snape with the bubbles. 

"I will, if you go out with me, Evans." James suggested. Lily rolled her eyes. 

"I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you and the giant squid." Lily spat at him. Sirius burst out laughing until his eyes widened when they landed on Snape. Before Sirius could warn anyone, Snape directed his wand at James as a bright right light shot from the tip of his wand. A gash appeared on the side of James's face. James then shot a spell towards Snape; causing him to fly up into the air by the feet. 

"PUT HIM DOWN!" Lily screamed. 

"Fine, fine," James said before lowering Snape back to the ground, "You're lucky Evans was here, Snivellus--" 

"I don't need help from filthy little mudbloods like her!" Snap spat. Betty gasped while Scabior's eyes shot wide open with his mouth dropping to his chest. Lily blinked, taking a step away from Snape as tears were forming in her eyes. 

"Fine... I won't bother in the future... Snivellus!" Lily spat at him. 

"Apologize to Evans!" James roared as his wand was pointed directly at Snape. 

"I don't want you to make him apologize! You're just as bad as he is!" Lily shouted at him. 

"What? i'd never call you that!" James yelped. 

"Yeah but you like to go down corridors and hexing anyone who annoys you or because you don't like someone just because you can-- I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me SICK!" Lily shouted at him before rushing off. Harry watched as Betty stood off the bench over towards Snape where she punched him directly in the nose before moving over towards James. 

"She is right you know. You are a disgusting arse, Potter! And you are no better than someone who says that kind of rubbish!" Betty spat at him before kicking him in the knee, causing him to stumble away, before storming off after Lily with Scabior rushing behind her. 

"Having Fun?" 

Harry felt himself being pulled from the memory and found himself fumbling back into the Snape's off. Snape's hand gripped tightly onto Harry's arm; his nails digging into his skin. 

"Get out... GET OUT!! I don't want to see you in this office ever again!" Snape growled while he shoved Harry towards the door. Harry didn't waste a moment as he ran out of his office and kept on running before there were three floor between him and Snape. He leaned against the wall, panting heavily as his worst fear was realized... his father was just as arrogant and horrible as Snape had always told him.
