The-Man-Most-Unfortunate (III) [Chapter 180]

To be honest, Harry wasn’t surprised by the fight Severus was putting on to stop Harry from reading his memories. After all, the man was a spy and spies like him were bound to have quite a few skeletons buried in their closets. Snape’s Occlumency barriers were probably the best he ever encountered, not that it mattered to him since he breached through them all the same.

Snape was desperately trying to hide his real memories by bringing up fake memories, but Harry was easily able to avoid the fake memories since they were hastily created, which made them easily discernible from the original memories… Harry finally came across a memory where the so-called spy sold out the Prewett brothers to the Dark Lord to maintain his cover with the blessings of the so-called Leader of the Light.

Harry immediately started to wonder how Molly Weasley nee Prewett would feel if she ever came to learn that Albus Dumbledore regretfully sacrificed her brothers to cement his spy’s position in Voldemort’s camp…

Then he came across another memory where Severus sold out Edgar Bones and his wife to Voldemort with the blessings of Albus Dumbledore to gain the trust of the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters. He started to wonder if he could use this information to get an advantage over Amelia… Though for the time being, he decided to dismiss the idea as he wasn’t planning to hand over Snape to Amelia in the first place.

After all, Amelia would try to get him convicted and punished through lawful means…

Those weren’t the only horrible things Snape had done in his life as a spy… He had killed and r@ped a lot of Muggles during his time as a spy. That was when Harry decided to find out why the man decided to become a spy in the first place and it led him to something significant, he failed to see the memory as the so-called spy started to use everything he had in an attempt to stop Harry, which probably meant that the memory was pretty important to the man.

Snape did put up quite a commendable fight, but ultimately, he was beaten by Harry. He found himself watching how Snape went to Hogshead Inn for his Interview and then how he overheard the damned Prophecy. He saw how Snape was caught eavesdropping by Aberforth Dumbledore before he could overhear the whole Prophecy and even though Harry felt his temper rise beyond imagination, he decided to watch the whole memory.

Then the motherfucker went straight to his precious Master and spilled the contents to him. He could practically feel how proud Severus felt revealing the Prophecy to his Master, but Harry could also feel the shame and guilt Severus was feeling right now… Not that Harry paid his personal feelings any mind as no matter what the man felt, he won’t be able to change his past actions.

At first, Severus was truly happy after gaining favor from the Dark Lord for bringing the Prophecy to his attention, but all of that changed when Severus finally discovered that the Prophecy might be referring to Lily’s son.

Severus didn’t care what happened to James Potter or Harry Potter, so he used his favor and begged the Dark Lord to spare Lily. In fact, Harry could feel that Severus felt somewhat ecstatic over the fact that James Potter and his spawn were going to be killed, but even after the Dark Lord promised him to spare Lily, he wasn’t sure if his Master would really spare the woman or not.

That was why he decided to run off to Albus in the hope that the man would be able to save Lily. That was what led him to become a spy in the first place and later when Voldemort killed both James and Lily, Albus managed to trick Severus into swearing an Oath saying that he would protect Harry with his life… Harry wasn’t sure if the Oath was still active or not since they used his name and his mother’s name while swearing the Oath.

Harry could see that Severus regretted his actions since then and he was no longer the same man who worshiped the Dark Lord, but he was still the same twisted selfish piece of shit. The only reason he regretted his actions was because Lily Potter was dead due to his foolishness… He didn’t regret anything else. He didn’t regret selling out the Prewett twins, nor did he regret selling out Edgar and his wife to the Dark Lord.

There was very little Severus wouldn’t do to ensure his survival…

Yes, Severus might regret revealing the Prophecy to the Dark Lord, but did that mean Harry was planning to forgive him? The answer was a big fat NO!! His regret isn’t going to erase his actions… So, by the time Harry pulled himself out of Severus’ Mind, he was practically apoplectic. He wanted to hurt the man… He wanted to make Severus feel unimaginable amounts of pain. Then there was the fact that Albus Bloody Dumbledore was protecting this son of a bitch.

“Crucio!!” Harry snarled in anger, blasting Severus back a few feet when the Torture Curse collided against him. He had used the Torture Curse before when he was learning it, but he never used it on a human until now, but right now, he was glad that he saved the Curse of a person like Severus Snape because the man truly deserved it.

Harry unconsciously grinned as Severus started to flail his limbs due to the unbearable pain he was feeling. Harry could hear his mom calling him at the back of his Mind, but he knew that his mom would agree with him after he told her everything he learned from him. The so-called spy arched his back before curling up into a fetal position due to the pain. His eyes started to roll back as his Mind started to black out, but before he could lose consciousness, Harry dropped the Curse.

|Hadrian, are you okay?| His mom asked hesitantly after noticing that her baby boy was much calmer right now. Harry finally reined in his Magic before giving his mom a mental equivalent of a nod. |What happened? What did you see?| Lily asked, sounding really concerned. Even though she lived inside his head, she had rarely seen him become truly angry and right now, he was practically apoplectic.

|Let me show you| Harry said as he realized that it would be better to show her rather than tell her. So, he quickly gathered everything he learned from him and started to show the memories to his mother.

“Kiddo, are you okay?” Jacklyn approached from behind and asked, sounding really concerned. This was the first time she saw him lose control of his temper. She had seen him angry before, but he never lost his temper, neither did she ever see it on his face, but Jacklyn could tell when he was angry. There were some signs she had learned to notice.

“That motherfucker is the reason why Voldemort came after my family in the first place!” Harry spat out and he was loud enough for everyone present in the room to hear clearly.

“What?!” Sirius exclaimed in outrage as he shot up from the couch even though he was feeling somewhat nauseous due to being exposed to Harry’s raw Magic.

“Yes and Albus knew, and even after that, he was protecting this son of a bitch” Harry revealed, not to anyone’s surprise… Meanwhile, Severus groaned in pain before he rolled over his back. The Cruciatus Curse wasn’t as painful as the Dark Lord’s, but the power behind the Curse was simply unimaginable… Severus knew that his chances of leaving this place alive dropped close to non-existent.

|That bastard!| Lily growled while seething in rage, but since she was already expecting the memory to be quite upsetting, she was able to keep her temper in check, otherwise, she was even more volatile than Harry. |I want you to make him experience every agony, every misery possible before killing him| Lily demanded angrily while gritting her teeth.

|Of course| Harry immediately agreed with her demand as he also wanted to do the same. The two of them had long vowed to kill the person responsible for revealing the Prophecy to Voldemort in the most painful way possible.

“What did he do?” Andi asked curiously. She always believed that Voldemort attacked the Potters because he was an evil bastard and the Potters had proven themselves to be a thorn in his side, but there was probably something more going on…

Harry flicked his hand and knocked out Severus with a Stunning Charm before turning toward Andi. He would take his time with Severus… He considered the question for a couple of seconds before deciding to answer her. There was no reason to hide the existence of the Prophecy anymore since all the involved parties already knew about the existence of the Prophecy.

“Before I was born, Sybill Trelawney delivered a Prophecy…” With that, Harry started to tell them about the Prophecy while wondering what to do with Severus. Maybe he should send Severus to the so-called Leader of Light piece by piece… Yes, that was exactly what he was going to do. Though Harry decided to keep him alive. Maybe, he should preserve his brain and his eyes in a glass jar.

That would be quite a fitting punishment for the man as his expertise in Potions was simply too valuable to lose…
