Lily reached for her wand when she heard knocking. Only two people Severus and her son - knew where she lived. She opened the door a crack, not taking the chain off. A pair of green eyes was what she saw Harry Potter was standing on her doorstep in his Auror robes.
Lily swallowed nervously. The boy walked in, although he didn't react when she suggested he sit down.
'We've determined you're the person you said you are. Unfortunately, it leads to more questions. You need to come see S- Snape with me and establish some contact with him'
'What do you mean "establish contact"?' the woman sank into a chair.
'It means Snape doesn't
A week later Lily was woken up by raised voices. Severus was arguing with a man. She got dressed quickly, wishing she had her wand. She went down to the dining room Severus and the man were arguing in an adjoining room. The door was slightly open.
'Professor you realize it's an official interrogation?'
Severus Snape nodded stiffly. Lily could see the speaker was wearing Auror robes.
'Well' a sigh 'it took me some time to determine you're still alive, sir, and you're probably the only person that can shed some light on the matter'
'What matter?' Sev asked icily.
The man coughed.
'My mother's grave was desecrated '
'Wha
Tydzień później Lily obudziły podniesione głosy. Severus kłócił się z jakimś mężczyzną. Ubrała się szybko. Żałowała, że nie ma swojej różdżki. Zeszła do jadalni. Sev i jakiś mężczyzna rozmawiali w przyległym pokoju. Drzwi były leciutko uchylone.
- Panie profesorze zdaje sobie pan sprawę, że to oficjalne przesłuchanie?
Severus Snape skinął sztywno głową. Lily mogła dostrzec, że jego rozmówca miał na sobie szaty aurora.
- Dobrze westchni
Harry Potter and his brother in law, Ron Weasley, stood in front of the quarters that were once occupied by Severus Snape. When Horace Slughorn opened the door, the Auror waved an order signed by Robards in front of his face.
'Of course, m'boy. It's such an awful situation. If only Severus was alive, everything would have been explained immediately. He's known Miss Evans so well '
'Where are Professor Snape's things?'
Slughorn pointed at the closed doors at the opposite end of the hall.
'I've got to go. If you could pass my regards to your wife your wife is extremely talented, if you allow me to say so '
Ron made a face w

Harry Potter i jego szwagier, Ron Weasley, stali przed drzwiami do kwater, które niegdyś zajmował Severus Snape. Kiedy otworzył im Horacy Slughorn, młody auror machnął mu przed oczami nakazem podpisanym przez Robardsa.
- Oczywiście, mój chłopcze. Już. To taka okropna sprawa. Gdyby tylko Severus żył, wszystko by się wyjaśniło. On tak dobrze znał pannę Evans
- Gdzie są rzeczy profesora Snape'a?
Slughorn wskazał zamknięte drzwi po przeciwnej stronie holu.
- Ja już pójdę. Gdyby mógł
Severus was watching master Potter play with little master Teddy while he finished placing Potions on the shelves high enough so that the child would not be able to reach them. Sometimes the slave thought his master enjoyed playing even more than the child did. He remembered what he'd heard once about Potter's childhood.
Teddy was chasing a snitch that his godfather commandeered so Potter used the moment to come closer and examine the Potions vials on the shelves Dreamless Sleep, Blood Replenisher, dittany more bottles that the young Auror could not exactly identify, but knew were used in healing.
'You want to star
Severus obserwował pana Pottera bawiącego się z paniczem Teddym, kończąc układanie zapasów eliksirów na półkach położonych na tyle wysoko, by chłopiec nie mógł do nich dosięgnąć. Czasami niewolnik miał wrażenie, że jego właściciel czerpie jeszcze więcej przyjemności z zabawy, niż dziecko. Przypomniał sobie, co kiedyś usłyszał o dzieciństwie Pottera.
Teddy gonił znicza, którego ruchami kierował jego ojciec chrzestny Potter wykorzystał chwilę, by podej
Chapter 5
Several weeks passed and Severus had destroyed all the alcohol bottles remaining in his flat. He did not wish for a repeat; he had to learn his self-control. He'd already cast a spell meant to wake her and soon after, he'd managed to find a wand so he destroyed his old one, so that the Aurors would not connect him with the spell. Alas, the spell that was to wake Lily either worked very slowly or with great delay
Snape was looking through his bookshelves, wondering which books to keep and which to destroy because they were too full of dark magic, too old or too dangerous. It was then that he heard it. At first he thoug
