What Did You Do In the War Gran
Title: What Did You Do in the War, Gran ?
Rating :G
Characters: Molly Weasley , Brian Weasley and Severus Snape
Ten year old Brian Weasley looked up from his homework on the kitchen table and asked “What did you do in the war, Gran ?”
Molly was standing at the sink, holding her wand and directing the dishes to wash themselves “Oh nothing much, dear”
“Nothing much !” exclaimed a deep voice in the corner. The boy flinched. It was Mr Snape who he found to be a bit scary. The man got up a bit unsteadily and felt his way to the kitchen table and sat down.
“Molly, please give me some peas to shell, while I tell this young man about his Gran.”
“Brian, I am sure you have learned at school about the bravery of your Mum and Dad, and that Harry Potter killed Lord Voldemort ?” The boy nodded, then quickly said “Yes Sir” as he remembered that Mr Snape had been blinded by Voldemort in the Final Battle.
“Well your Gran gave a lot”
He hesitated and swallowed. The boy was fascinated to watch his Adam’s apple move.
Snape continued “ Most importantly, she gave 2 fine sons… your Uncle Bill and your Uncle Charlie.” Molly suppressed a sob and the dishes shook a little in the sink.
The boys eyes were wide. “Yes Sir” he said, wanting to hear more.
“She gave to EVERYONE. She never picked favourites. Remus Lupin was a Werewolf and treated like an animal, but your Gran always had a hot meal for him. Sirius Black was a hunted Criminal on the run. She gave him warm clothes and money. If the Ministry had caught her she would have got 5 years in Azkaban. When Albus Dumbledore ……was killed…. She was the first one to go to Minerva McGonnagal and comfort her.”
The boy was awestruck and proud at hearing that his Gran had helped these people who he learned about in school.
“But the person she gave most to was me. My Mum died when I was 8 and after she died nobody ever showed me any kindness until your Gran. You know I was a spy, don’t you?”
“Oh yes Mr Snape” the child piped up “You were a spy for the Light and suffered excruciatin’ Crucio for years going to Voldemort meetings !”
Snape grinned a little “Yes and a damn good kicking on some occasions, Brian. Well I came to your Gran’s for first aid and a cup of tea. Never underestimate the power of a cup of tea, Brian ! Sometimes my hands were shaking so much I could not hold the cup. Gran would just put it on the table with a straw in it and I would lean forward to drink it. Then she rubbed my aching shoulders and arms. Your Grandpa didn’t mind. He was a war hero too but you will not learn that in school. I will tell you about Grandpa another day”
“After the war they took me into their own home because I can not look after myself. Nobody else would do that. You see I am not a very nice man, Brian…But don’t feel sorry for me boy, because I have never had such peace and love in my whole life.”
“Thank you, Mr Snape” the boy said, patting his hand and got up to hug his Gran.
The END
