The Arrivals , A slow Burn Romance [ Edited Version 2022 ]

Leave The Knife

Sirius couldn't stand his claiming for knowing so he simply interrupted while Remus calmed him down:

"Severus, we are not even sure of what the attacks for and only by the place name!"

"Sirius."

"You reached a conclusion point that they hunt a muggle-born why don't you just ask them as long as they were old friends of yours"

Remus covered his eyes and sighed, "Here we go."

Severus' blood started to boil as Sirius mentioned his history with them, specially in front of Lily, his answer came like a dagger stabbed into Sirius's heart.

"Well, well, Padfot.. full of ourselves aren't we?" He raised an eyebrow as he continued. "I'm worried about muggle-borns so much as you are." he rolled his eyes at Hermione. "Courting one of them."

Hermione stood up and raised the knife at his face as Sirius voice calming her gently.

She started to yell at her Professor.

"How dare you speak of him like this you bloody Git."

"Hermione lower the knife" Sirius whispered.

" You think yourself safe from their attacks hiding under Dumbeldore's cloak" she pointed at him closer.

"Hermione.. the knife"

"Let's talk about your past then! Courting at Malfoy Manor, raping innocents!"

"Hermione."

"WHAT SIRIUS!" she shouted at him even more as she realized what she was doing as he whispered:

"You are pointing a knife towards the Professor.. slaughtering is my business next time he say it again."

Snape still kepthis poker face.

Lily stood up as she heard the malfoy manor crime, she never thought that Severus reached this point and simply left the meeting as Severus stares followed her.

Dumbeldore pointed his wand to his neck so his voice will be well heard

"Enough! Both of you, I will not allow such a behavior occurs at this meeting."

"Then tell that git that my lady and I deserve respect while he stays under my roof!"

Dumbeldore said with killing stares, "Severus, so foolish of you to say this to your mate and your student as well, and Sirius, respect his point of view towards the order plans."

And so it appears Snape and Sirius would slaughter each other if people weren't around. The meeting continued as The two enemies separated, each one of them sat on the other side of the table with ten chairs distance.

After everything was settled, well planned, the guests dismissed leaving behind Dumbeldore's who was very disturbed by this evening events.

Lily went to her room crying, she felt disappointed that her old friend would not only became a spy, but he was convicted to many crimes, Hermione as well was destroyed, she never thought someone will speak at her in such a way, specially after "mudblood" tragedy.

"Why everyone in this house is crying!?" Sirius stood in the middle of the corridors between lily and Hermione bedroom doors.

He gathered all the courage a gryffindore could have, and started with Lily .

"Knock knock," at her door.

"GET OUT OF HERE SIRIUS!"

"Lily, whats wrong with you! Open the door let me inn, I haven't done anything come on! "

He was right..

She opened the door with tomato eyes, she has been crying for an hour.

" My dear merlin ! Crying for me fighting that git ?"

After a second, he started to realize, "Oooh! You mean the Malfoy Manor thing?"

And she continued sobbing, he started to use his brain.

"No wait wait, you mean you went shocking and freeze in your place for knowing Snape did this?"

She shakes her head with yes, while covering her face and cry.

"Well, thats a tragic point, but .. he is , there is nothing we could do about it" he paused " except, I don't know how Hermione finds out this very dark secret of his."

After a second he was hypnotized by the idea of Hermione intelligence and forgot about the moaning girl beside him :

"Clever girl my love, genius!"

"SIRIUS BLACK GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"

"Lily you have been defending Snape since school! Yet, he was going worse and worse and for your information, he didn't stop being a death eater , until you and James were dead ! " he took a breath deeply and continued " all he was thinking of is the guilt that came to his heart , he didn't hide the prophecy from that bloody Tom, so he went mad because you died and he decided to."

Sirius realize he said alot , he covered his mouth, " I shouldn't have said that."

He ran to the door for his life, but he turned at her for last word before leaving,

"I don't deny, you were a great shift to his life, even while being dead.. but Lily, he chose this.. and the dark mark will stay on his wrist, forever."

He closed the door, leaving Lily with her thoughts, as she was very annoyed by him too and thought to herself '' Where is Walburga when we need her? "

Sirius left and headed to Hermione's room.

He moved to her room, as he saw her crying like the other friend.

"Now what bothering you , I am a social consultant today" he crossed his legs and open a cigarette, "The knife scene was incredible, pet."

"Why I am always offended? " Hermione said.

"I has been insulted because I am muggle-born, and now I was insulted again because I chose to be with you!"

Sirius stands up and moved his attention to the window, he smoked , relieved and answered her, "Hermione, If he didn't say something about us, someone else's will. You just have to be ready for the upcoming judgments." he took another cigarette.

"You gave him what he deserves, but I swear in Godric Grave, I was about to cast a curcio curse on him, we don't want to lose each other just by being angry for the person who never knew love!"

"Now come here." he embraced her deeply to his heart, "Next time he come, Put the sharpest knife in your pocket."

A weird silence landed between the two Gryffindors ladies, They felt awkward as one friend insulted the other one's friend.. it was complicated, and non of them could explain it to the other like a hard math problem.

As for Snape, he never knew where to start with Lily , or Hermione as he is not used to her fatal reactions like Ron.
