Chapter 207: Snape's Suspicions

"What is he doing here?" Snape frowned.

"It looks like he is on a date, but...is that girl?..." Lily stared at the black-haired girl accompanying her son.

Of course, she knew who this was. Over the last year, she had heard her family name way too many times.

She only found it strange to see Harry with her. After all, she knew her son had only attended her party to gain some information on Lord Parkinson and didn't really have any interest in the young Slytherin girl.

"That is Pansy Parkinson, one of my snakes," Snape said. "What is she doing with Potter?"

Harry and Pansy went to find a table to sit down. Moments later, a large group of Slytherin senior students entered the pub and sat down at a nearby table behind Harry.

Not even a minute later, the door opened again, and Daphne and Tracey came inside and also sat down at a nearby table.

"Something suspicious is going on..." Lily said softly.

"No matter, there are some things I need to tell you, Lily," Snape insisted, not willing to allow this to distract him from his objective. He may not have another chance to speak with Lily like this.

"Severus...so far you have only told me that my son is very mature for his age and has a lot of talent for using magic. And as you can already expect...I knew these things about him."

"It's not just that..." Snape could not speak about the events involving the basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets, even though he was convinced that Harry was somehow involved. But there was something else that happened that year.

"Right, what about this? Your son came to my office dragging the wounded body of a fifth-year boy. He was covered in bruises, cuts, and broken bones."

Lily looked somewhat surprised. She had not heard about this, but she knew that Harry would not attack someone without a good reason. "Why wasn't I called to the school and informed of this?"

Snape made a troubled expression. He had forgotten why he and the Headmaster were trying to hide that affair. "Ehm...we couldn't make a big deal about it."

"Why did Harry attack him? And don't you dare tell me that it was for no reason. I will go talk with Dumbledore to get the details if necessary."

Snape felt Lily's angry eyes on him and became nervous. "The boy was...he was apparently in the midst of attacking some first-year girl when your son decided to intervene."

"A first-year girl?...who?" Lily asked in a cold tone.

Snape was now regretting bringing this up. "Some Ravenclaw girl....Lovegood, I think."

"Luna Lovegood," Lily added. "So, my son saved Luna and beat that student in the process...what happened next? Since you wanted to keep it on a low profile, I assume it was to protect the attacker and not my son or Luna."

"Your son threatened me! He told me that I should keep my snakes in line. And that if I allowed this to happen again, he said...he said he would take care of it by himself. You should have seen his face when he told me that. I can't forget about his eyes..." Snape froze when he saw Lily.

The look in her eyes right now was very similar to the one Harry had that day. Those cold green eyes...

Then Lily spoke in a tone that gave him shivers. "And yet...you allowed this to happen again, didn't you, Severus? You let my daughter and her friends be attacked because you didn't want to maintain order in your house. What do you have to say about that?"
