Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

Back in the potions classroom, Lily snapped back to the present, feeling shocked and VERY overwhelmed by what just went through her mind. She quickly lost her balance, grabbing a table by its edge behind her, heavily breathing, and trying to grasp what she just saw. Lily then placed her hands to the sides of her head and started screaming EXTREMELY loud, Snape closed his eyes and looked away as a way of apologizing even though it wasn't audible, it was expressed upon his face. Lily collapsed, but didn't faint or go uncontentious, but just her legs gave out. Lily finally stopped screaming and was now looking at the ground and heavily breathing once again, Snape removed the charm that was on the door once she had been able to calm down, unfortunately, he removed it too soon, "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! WHAT DID I JUST WITNESSED?! WHY DID I SEE THAT AND REMEMBER SOMETHING ELSE BEFORE NOW?! " Snape walked up to Lily, who was still on the ground, knelt down to her eye level before explaining anything to her, "You had a charm placed on you that altered your memories, I simply removed it, nothing more." The expression he displayed earlier, is now his stone face, no expression to be seen, "You just saw what you truly remembered about what happened to your parents." Lily snapped her head up and had the exact same fiery look in her eyes, just like her mother did, "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! " Fred and George were hearing this, but were clenching their hands into fists, fighting the urge of busting through the door and rushing to Lily, because they didn't want to cause another drift with Lily. "WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT, ALTERING MY MEMORIES, MAKING ME THINK THAT MY OWN FATHER ABANDONED ME AND MY MOTHER WASN'T EVEN AROUND TO TAKE CARE OF ME?! " Snape walked up to Lily, "You had a charm placed on you that altered your memories, I removed it, and you just saw what you truly remembered about what happened to your parents." "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Fred and George were hearing this, but were clenching their fists, however, they didn't want to cause another drift with Lily. "Why would someone alternate my memories where I thought my OWN father ABANDONED ME?!" Lily screamed once more but while still looking down at the ground crying, just like she did in her true memory again, "FRED! GEORGE! I NEED YOU BOTH PLEASE!" Without a moment of hesitation they opened the door and bolted to Lily's side, "Take her and get out." Fred grabbed Lily's arm to guide her out of the room and George grabbed Lily's things leaving Snape with an enormous knot in his stomach, but he had to hide it until they were fully gone. Once they were fully alone Fred and George gently sat Lily down on a bench.
