I forgive you: Chapter 21

Severus' POV
 He went to die after viewing my memories. What in the world was he thinking? Why, Harry, why did you believe in my memories?

"Please get yourself purged now. I shall tell you everything else after that."

Ragnok got up and went to set up the room for the purges.

We wanted to hear about Harry's life but knew that Mortem was right. I was trying my hardest not to snarl at the two, and I knew they were trying their best as well. We nodded.

I didn't want to let go of Harry.

Seeing me hesitate, Remus said, "You can go last Severus. You can hold Harry until then. Yours might take longer since you have a Leach as well."

I nodded.

Sirius went in first. Remus stayed with me. After a while, Sirius was screaming. Remus wanted to rush inside but knew not to disrupt a cleansing ritual.

Half an hour later, Sirius came out of the room sweating all over. "It is quite painful, Moony. Be careful." He said to Remus as he got up to get himself purged.

I guessed that mine would be even more so.

It took a little while more for Remus to scream. His wolf had given him quite the pain tolerance. After forty minutes, he walked out. He was also drenched in sweat, and his eyes were flashing gold, but he looked healthier and younger.

Sirius got up to support Remus. "Look at you, Moony, even more handsome and young than before. Oh, how I envy your looks!" He said to lighten the mood. Remus blushed. I thought James and Lily were trying to get them together, I didn't expect them to already be together.

After Remus sat down, he asked for Harry so that I could get a purge.

I handed Harry over to him without waking him up. Harry had immediately curled into Remus and held onto his outer robes. We smiled at him.

I went into the room and saw a lot of runes drawn on the floor. Ragnok walked to me and said, "You have more blocks and leach as well. It might hurt Mr. Prince-Snape."

I nodded.

He led me to the center of the runes and asked me to take off my cloak and lie down in the central rune.

After I did as instructed, the goblins began to chant in gobbledygook. Slowly, pain started. After what felt like fifteen minutes, the pain had become unbearable, and screams ripped out from my throat.

It felt like eternity, but it might have just been half an hour, and the pain started to subside. When the pain was gone, I felt myself sweating profusely.

I sat up and waited for a few minutes and then slowly got up. I wobbled a little but gained my balance and walked to the stand where I hung my cloak, put it on, and walked out of the room. There was no need for the dramatics. I wanted to save all of it for the coot who messed with my life and my mates' lives.

The minute I got out, Mortem took hold of my hand and led me to a chair. When I looked at him in confusion, he sighed.

"If master were to know, I let you walk right after you went through your purge without giving you a hand to support you, he would berate me. And you are partially my master as well. Please stay here while I have a little work to complete. I promised master about this."

Before any of us could ask him what it was, he disappeared to a place only he knew.

I know I was going to hate the little boy in Remus' arms, but he grew on me in this very short time, not that I would admit it to him.

I looked at Remus and said, "Can I Harry back?"

Remus' eyes flashed gold. I thought his wolf would throw me away, but he handed Harry over. He said, "Careful." I nodded, not wanting to upset the already upset wolf.

His eyes got back their original light brown. He smiled at me and said, "Moony trusts you with Harry. He approves your bond. I have no need to worry now. I feel that you would protect Harry with everything you've got."

I nodded with gratitude.

I forgive you: Chapter 29

Harry's POV "She might have felt the dark mark getting lighter. She knew you went to the Potters. If something happened there, she decided to go to the Longbottoms and get the information she wanted. She found their secret keeper, made him reveal their secret place, and tortured them before the aurors captured her. Rodolphus, Rabastan, and Barty were also captured with her." Severus said. "The Lestrange twins were sane enough not to go after the Longbottoms. And Barty, he would always listen to me. Why did they go? Bella, I can understand. She has lost what little sanity she had after being the target of many crucios. But them, I can't." Tom said. He looked lost. Severus sighed. "Rodolphus, Rabastan, and Barty went to stop her. But she imperiused them to help her. When the aurors arrived, they didn't bother to check if they were under the Imperius curse and threw them into Azkaban." "What can we do?" Tom asked. "Only the...

I forgive you: Chapter 23

Sirius' POV When we asked Ragnok for our money to be returned, Ragnok gave a predatory smile. Now I understood why my family told the younger generations never to get on the bad side of the Goblin nation. Ragnok then excused himself and said he would be making arrangements to return our money within 24 hours. Mortem had appeared again beside Severus. Severus must have shielded his emotions. He didn't even flinch when he saw Mortem beside him all of a sudden, though he held Harry a little tighter. "The sun has already risen. Please take a few pepper-up potions. Severus, you have to go back and teach." And handed a potion for each of us. We gladly took the potion and downed them. Mortem gave Severus a ring. "Give this to master when he wakes up. It has all my hollows in it. As the 'Master of Death', it is master's right to have these Hollows. Also, tell him that I have collected the remaining horcruxes. When master wants, I can stitch all the soul pie...

I forgive you: Chapter 25

Severus' POV After reading Harry's inheritance test, I was fuming. I reckon that is the same issue for Sirius and Remus. Remus' eyes were now completely golden, and he was growling quite nicely. I wish the coot was here to witness it. He'd pale dramatically. A few moments later, Harry started to wake. "Harry is starting to wake up. Be quiet." I whispered harshly to Sirius and Remus. They instantly became quiet. This showed that they cared a great deal about Harry. Then, Sirius slowly got up from Remus' lap and whispered, "I am going to take off the body bind. Will Moony come out?" Remus shook his head. "No. Moony wants to see Harry waking up more than killing the coot." He whispered softly. His growling has also stopped. Sirius had taken the body bind off, and they walked to Harry and me. Mortem was already beside me the moment he noticed Harry shifting slightly in my arms. When Harry slowly crunched his nose and tried to g...
