... mother on more than one occasion." He wasn't quite certain why he was telling Harry this, but he figured, if he was to start over with the boy, Harry deserved honesty. "Even after we were sorted into different houses, Lily and I remained close. She received a lot of grief for it from her friends, but she wouldn't give up on me. I think Alice Prewitt was the only one of her friends who never tried to get her to stop speaking with me." "Neville's mum?"

"Alice was a very kind girl, an attribute she never lost as she grew up." He paused again, unsure of how to cover his falling out with his best friend. Of course, Harry asked the question before he was really ready to speak about it. "What happened between you? Sirius mentioned some sort of altercation your fifth year, but he wouldn't say much about it." Snape sighed. "Not one of my finer moments." He admitted, rubbing a hand over his face.

"I need to know. I can see how much you regret everything you've done, but if I'm going to trust you, I need you to give me a reason." Snape nodded slowly. "Roughly sixteen years ago, Dumbledore was interviewing a potential candidate for the position of Divination Professor. I was sent by the Dark Lord to spy on the headmaster, to gather information. I wasn't expecting to hear anything that day, but as the interview wrapped up, I overheard the first part of a prophecy. I was thrown out before I heard all of it, but I reported what I knew to the Dark Lord." "And he went after my family," Harry breathed, his eyes wide. Snape sighed.
