captured by a traitor?

A rugged sigh escapes the potions masters’ lips as he motions for Harry to have a seat. Harry chooses to sit in the chair closest to the door. This in effect causes the spy to conjure a chair from thin air and seat himself no more than three feet from the captured Gryffindor.

Shit where to begin? Well no time like the present no place like the beginning.

Severus closed his eyes hoping for some guidance. None came, he wasn’t surprised. Now as always when inspiration failed him his intuition led him. The weary potions master began his tale hoping against all hope that Harry would believe him…

“Look Harry this is not an easy tale to be told so please hold your questions and accusations until the end. As you know your godfather and I were by no means close. However what you have grown up believing was the reason why was just a childish fight that we used as a cover. The truth is that my mothers’ family and the black line have been bitter enemies for centuries. It was stupid really the feud was political in nature; you know contests to see who held the most over the ministry officials and such. That is until my mother married a muggle. She of course was disinherited by Grandfather.”

“Not to long after her disowning she and my father began receiving death threats. No one knew it at the time but my mum was four months pregnant with me. With this news and a lot of begging she convinced my dad to move to America where they could be safe. For twelve years we were safe. Safe that is until I got a letter from Hogwarts telling me I had been accepted as a student there. Mother was perfectly happy to send me to Salem academy for the training of young wizards. Father was quick to point out how much she used to talk of how she couldn’t wait to send me to Hogwarts because she herself loved it there as it was the only place she felt she was accepted.”

“You see Harry my mother may have been a ‘pure blood’ but as you can guess by the fact that she married my dad, she didn’t hold with their beliefs especially when it came to the dark lord. Anyway we returned to my mothers’ native land only to discover that the Hogwarts letters hadn’t even been written yet. It was an elaborate hoax to lure my parents out of hiding.”

\"We were ambushed just two miles from Hogsmeade station father was killed out right mother and I were beaten badly and left for dead. Luck for us a member of the newly formed order of the phoenix stumbled upon our unconscious forms. The man whose name I never did learn took us to see Albus. From there Dumbledore took my mother and me to 12 Grimauld place. Sirius had just taken over the house as he had inherited it form his mothers will.\"

“Dumbledore tried for hours to convince him to allow my mother and me to stay within the safety of the newly formed headquarters. But the damn dog wouldn’t budge any further then to let me stay there because he believed me capable of reforming.” With a bitter sounding sigh Severus went on unaware of Harrys’ rapt attention to his tale.

Severus went on with great trepidation it had been years since he had told this part of the story twenty-six to be exact. Could he do it again? Yes, he had to how else would Harry begin to trust him again? His voice cracking and wobbly Severus went on.

“However no matter how much Albus and I tried to convince him that mum wouldn’t give away the location of the order Serius Black would not budge from not letting my mother stay there. So she went out to find her own safe haven. Only she never found one, I do not know the details of how it happened that night, but I do know that my grandfather murdered his daughter that night because she was refused sanctuary by the one person who had the power to save her.
