Sirius Black And The Horcruxes

Chapter Eighteen

SEVERUS' SECRETS

Harry sped right up to Dumbledores office and grabbed the pensieve. He laid it on the desk and opened the bottle. Then tipped the contents in and stuck his head right into it.

Severus was with a red haired girl. They were laughing and having fun on a hill side.

"Don't worry about your sister Lily." Said Severus. "Your different. You know that." The scene changed.

Severus looked at Lily as she skipped to the Griffindor table. Changed again.

"Snivellus! Who wants to see Snivellus hang upside down?" Many people were laughing.

"Leave me alone Potter." Said Severus.

"LEVICORPUS!" James pointed his wand at Severus. They were all laughing. Severus was upside down. The scene changed.

Severus was with Dumbledore.

"Please help them Albus, send them into hiding, anything."

"What would I get in return Severus?" Dumbledore turned to look at him.

"Anything Albus. Anything."

"Very well. I shall help them." The scene changed again.

Severus was standing with Dumbledore once more. He was crying.

"You said you would help them. They were meant to be safe." Severus cried.

"There was nothing I could do Severus. They were betrayed. However, their boy lives. Harry Potter. He has her eyes Severus." Dumbledore paced around the room. The scene dissolved.

Severus was in a house. The door had been blown off. A man, handsome man lay on the stairs. Lifeless. Wand in hand. Severus moved up the stairs and became scared, worried. He reached a door with a light on inside. He pushed it. He dropped to his knees and began to cry heavily. He held Lily Evans (Potter), in his arms. He stroked her hair and cried. His friend, his best friend, his true friend. She understood him. He understood her. Severus looked around and saw a little boy staring at him. The scene went.

Severus was with Dumbledore again.

"There will come a time Severus, when Harry will need to know the truth. That night, Voldamort had transferred some of his powers to Harry, but in doing so, transferred part of his soul. Harry Potter is the horcrux he didn't want to make. One will have to kill the other, but it is likely Harry will die."

"What? So you have been raising him like an animal for slaughter. Ready to die at the right moment? He may not die." Severus protested.

"Have you grown to care for the boy Severus?" Severus got out his wand and said lightly.

"Expecto Patronum." A little silver doe shot out of the end and jumped around the room. "Lily, Albus. I loved her with all my heart."

"Oh. After all these years."

"Always Albus." the scene changed for one last time.

"I shall soon die won't I Severus?" Dumbledore looked at him.

"The ring was deadly headmaster. I have trapped it here for now but yes. Maybe a year." Severus explained.

"Draco Malfoy has been ordered to kill me Severus, but you must do it, please." Then everything went black.

Harry sat on the cold steps of Dumbledore's office and gave a slight whimper. He knew it. He knew he had to die. It was all too good to be true. He was a horcrux along with Nagini. He would have to be killed by Voldamort, but he had to make sure the snake died as well.
