Chapter 8. Talking With Snape ☾

A/N I know guys I am late but here it is new chapter please vote and comment..😊

Harry gulped. He sighed. He tried to gain his courage. He failed. He tried again. Come on, Harry. You can do this! He thought to himself. It's not that hard. Right foot down, left foot down, just like that. His little pep talk was not working. He could do this. He could walk down the stairs, turn the corner, walk down the corridor, and knock on the office door of one Professor Severus Snape.

He knew he was being childish. This was childish. He should not still be afraid of the man that risked his life to save the boy he despised. And he wasn't really despised. No, Snape hated who he thought Harry was. Harry was not going to give him this option.

Harry sighed again as he turned the corner and began to stalk down the corridor. He could do this. He could talk to Snape. It wasn't like he was going to taunt the man. No, he was about to talk on his favorite subject...He was going to make this work this time.

Harry situated himself in front of the door to Snape's office. He took a deep breath and held it as he raised his hand to knock on the door. He tapped the door several times. He dropped his hand. Then, he waited. And waited, and waited. As he was about to give up and go back to his dorm, the door opened.

If Harry had not been so scared, he might have thought the scene comical, especially considering the look his professor gave him. Harry never knew Snape could be surprised. Yet, undeniable proof stood in front of him that said otherwise.

"Potter, what are you doing down in the dungeons? Shouldn't you be celebrating your little stunt you pulled during flying lessons?" Snape sneered. Harry breathed deeply. He was going to do this.

"No, sir. I was just wondering if I could talk to you for a minute." Harry countered gently.

"Well, I'm busy. I will always be busy. I will not make time for students as arrogant as you." Snape bit, making to close the door. Harry stopped him.

"Sir, I mean no disrespect. I...I just heard that you knew my mum." Harry looked up hopefully at the older man. He knew he had hooked the potions master, as Snape looked thoughtfully for a moment.

"Your point?" Snape asked uncertainly. Harry swallowed.

"I was wondering if you could tell me something about her." Harry almost whispered. Severus looked up and down the corridor, checking to make sure it was empty. Then, he opened the door wider and ushered Harry in.

"Well, Potter, what is it you want to know? I hardly think that your guardians would neglect telling you about her." Snape said as he sat down at his desk.

"Aunt Petunia doesn't talk about my mum a lot, except to call her a freak." Harry explained meekly. Severus quirked his brow.

"Your aunt will not tell you? Then go to your grandparents, the Evans, they adored Lily and would love to tell you all about her." Snape offered. Harry looked wide eyed.

"Did you know my grandparents?" Harry asked. It seemed like the plot was thickening. Severus didn't know?

"Yes, I am sure that that is how you heard I knew your mother." Severus assumed.

"Actually, I asked Aunt Petunia-once Hagrid told me about the wizarding world-if Mum had any friends. She only knew of you." Harry answered.
