It was supper time at Hogwarts, and almost all the students and staff were gathered to enjoy one of the last meals of the term, the seventh year students were on the verge of tears, this was going to be the last time they were going to have supper with their friends and schoolmates, meanwhile, on the teachers’ table most of them were trying to eat but some of them were looking at the seventh years with nostalgia.

Another year has gone and another generation of witches and wizards has completed their education, professor McGonagall couldn't help but smirk at the sight, this is why she loves being a teacher, however, something was troubling her, she couldn’t find Professor Snape and Dumbledore.

Also, two of her lions were missing, Harry nor Hermione were nowhere to be found in the hall even though his meeting with Professor Trelawney was over, even Parvati and Lavender were there just like Professor Trelawney who was already eating as if her life depended on it, it seems like even if she was drunk, she couldn't stop herself from enjoying the delicious meals the elves prepared.

Professor Dumbledore nor Professor Snape were absent too but that was fine, she knew the reason why they were absent, but it was important for Mr. Potter to be here as there were some words she needed to share with him, she was worried because he hadn't visited her to see his career options.

Suddenly, the door of the great hall was opened and slammed which caused everyone to look at the person who did it, they looked at that person in disdain, and of course, many others looked disgusted and annoyed at the sight of the culprit, it was Harry Potter and his need for attention once again.

Many rolled their eyes and others couldn’t wait to finally leave this place, it was sad to say goodbye to this place but at least they won't have to deal with Potter’s antics again, at first he was a wonder, but most students were starting to get tired of him, and Harry knew how they disliked him now, he was almost running towards the professor’s table but then, he snickered angrily.

“Shit…Where is he?!” He demanded angrily.

“Mr. Potter, language, and who are you talking about?” Asked McGonagall taken aback by his fierce attitude.

“Snape…Where is he? Are you hiding him? I’m going to kill him!” Harry swore angrily.

“Mr. Potter why are you—” Professor Flitwick was taken aback by the strange attitude of one of his favorite students.

“It’s his fault…It’s his fault that my parents are dead, he heard a stupid prophecy about Voldemort and he told his master everything, professor Trelawney told me everything…Yes, you heard everyone, the head of Slytherin and hated potions professor is a fucking death eater, he served Voldemort!” Harry said with an angry tone.

Soon, gasps were heard in the room, meanwhile, Professor Trelawney was too drunk to care, as for Harry, knowing that Snape wasn’t there, he decided to get out of the great hall, he was going to find Snape no matter how long it took him, but he knew he needed to act fast before the professors alerted the former death eater.

Meanwhile, at Dumbledore’s office, Snape entered with a serious attitude, he was hurrying as he held his arm that had the dark mark.

“Albus…Albus…Albus, it’s time, the dark lord is calling, the attack on the ministry is on its way, you need to take everyone including Potter there, is about to happen and—” Snape said desperately but then he stopped in his tracks.

He was surprised to find the old wizard playing with something strange, it was like a stone and the potions professor was being completely ignored due to him paying attention to the bloody thing.

Snape was getting tired, this wasn’t the first time he had found the old wizard immersed in that thing, whatever thing he wanted to do with that he needed to forget about it and focus on their mission, if things went right, Voldemort was going to die this evening.

“Okay, this needs to stop already Albus!” Snape said angrily before he forcefully took the stone from the old wizard.

To say that Dumbledore was taken aback would be an understatement and soon, his surprise turned into anger the moment the stone was taken from him, soon, Dumbledore took his wand out, the one he rarely showed in public, the elder wand.

“Give it back!” He said in an angry tone.

Snape felt a bit scared, this was the first time he had seen his boss acting like this, the usually cool, collected, and calm headmaster was replaced by an alien figure that looked like him but this figure had an angry and scary attitude.

“Focus on the plan Albus and not in this stupid stone—” Snape couldn’t continue because he accidentally activated the stone.

Soon his eyes widened in shock once he saw a figure he thought he would never see again.

“Severus…Why did you tell Voldemort the prophecy? You killed me!” It was a red-haired woman and she looked the same as the day she died.

“L-Lily what—” Snape couldn’t believe it.

“Why did you treat my son like that Severus…Not only did you give information to your master that led to our deaths but you’re also spitting on my grave by treating Harry like that!” Lily said with an angry tone. “I HATE YOU!” Those words were shocking.

“Lily, please…I didn’t know he was going to target you…I tried to get you out of there, I didn't care about the boy or your husband but I tried to save you, I told my master to spare you, I begged him!” Snape didn’t want her to hate him. “If I knew you were expecting I wouldn’t have told him anything…If only you wouldn’t have stopped talking to me that wouldn’t have happened!” Snape's emotions were showing his worst side.

“Why did you think those things would make me feel better? You would’ve sacrificed my husband a son just to spare me? And what about the other victims? Countless families were killed because your master was paranoid, they were all innocents!” Lily’s wrath was very real.

The tears were already escaping from Snape’s eyes, he couldn’t find any other excuse, he always dreamed about this conversation but things usually turn differently with her forgiving him and letting him know that the afterlife made her forgive him even if he didn’t deserve it.

“I’m sorry Lily, please…” Snape begged.

“I said give me the stone back!” Dumbledore was ready to attack his subordinate, however, suddenly someone entered.

“Expelliarmus!” That was a known voice that caused Snape to drop the stone.

“Harry!” Said Albus completely taken aback after being disarmed by the Potter heir.

“I knew what you were about to do Professor Dumbledore but…It’s gotta be me, I should be the one to do it, I should be the one avenging my parents…I know it now Snape…I know you gave the prophecy to Voldemort, the one that made my family a target!” Harry said with a tone full of hatred.

A thunder suddenly struck outside, making the emerald-eyed wizard look more terrifying.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about and now if you excuse me...Albus, it’s time,” Snape said as he raised the arm where the dark mark was placed, he looked everywhere but Harry.

“Don’t run you coward…I know you did it, professor Trelawney told me everything!” Harry said with his heart filled with anger.

Harry then did something unexpected, he decided to cast a silent spell, the spell almost hit Snape, the death eater wasn't aware that he barely saved himself from being turned into a squib.

“Harry I saw you—” A worried Hermione suddenly appeared but then she was restricted by Snape.

“No, don’t you dare use her as a shield!” Said Harry angrily.

“If you want her back…Go to the hall of prophecies in the department of mysteries!” Snape suddenly destroyed a certain artifact before apparating.

Harry couldn’t believe it, he managed to apparate from Hogwarts, that was impossible. Could it be that by destroying that artifact he was able to apparate? He didn't know but for now, he decided to not think about that, he needed to get there, he needed to save Hermione.
