Harry Potter Promise NR.9

... in the Castle. Every sitting room and office, along with a couple of the bedrooms all had dormant wards set up, which made it much easier to raise them, rather than cast new wards each time. "What's happened, Severus?" Minerva asked, worry seeping through in her tone and her expression. Snape sighed. "I received a visit from Bellatrix and Narcissa a few days ago," he admitted. Sirius furrowed his brow. "Do you think your cover's blown?" he asked, trying to ignore the slight twinge of worry that crept up at the thought. Snape shook his head. "Bellatrix suspects, but then, she suspects everyone of duplicity. That's not what I wished to talk about." He paused, momentarily doubting what he had come here to do. He wasn't used to trusting people; Albus had said he'd help, but Snape knew he was more of a pawn than a valued human being to the headmaster. But Minerva and Sirius were different. They had to be. Sirius shifted slightly. "What's going on, Snape? If there's an issue, maybe we can help." Snape looked at Sirius, his eyes narrowing slightly.

I wouldn't recommend telling her everything, but if she's willing to separate herself from the Dark Lord, then I think it would be worth it." Sirius bit his lip. "Why us?" he asked curiously. When Snape looked confused, he elaborated. "Why come to us, rather than Albus?" Snape raised an eyebrow. He thought it should be obvious. "For all his great speeches about second chances and the greater good, the man is too manipulative to trust. His second chances come with far too many strings attached." His eyes softened slightly. "I do care about Narcissa, and I don't want her forced into spying on the Dark Lord, for the promise of a free pass when his downfall comes." The same way I was. Though he didn't say it, both Sirius and Minerva understood. Minerva nodded sharply. "Continue working on her, and tell us if you think she's willing to defect. We won't make her do anything she doesn't want to, and if she is unsafe in Malfoy Manor, we can certainly relocate her somewhere safe." Sirius agreed.
