***********[Snape's Diary]**********
1980. 2, 7
The undercover operation failed, but I brought back the prophecy.The Dark Lord rewarded me and put me in charge of finding the Child of Prophecy, with Lucius assisting.
I was amazed at the Dark Lord's trust in Lucius.He was willing to tell him what was prophesied.
Besides Brent and Hall, Lucius is the closest I've come to a Death Eater.But in my opinion, he belongs to the Dark Lord, and most of them are profit-seeking.If I can see this, there's no reason the Dark Lord can't.
But why is he still willing to tell him such an important thing?
Forget it, I can't guess what the Dark Lord is thinking, and it is more important to find the Prophet's Son as soon as possible.
1980. 3, 1
I really want to know who is the traitor of the Order of the Phoenix who has defected to the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord has covered him up too tightly.Only Bellatrix knew the identity of that man, Lucius said.Huh, another Blake.
1980. 4, 19
Lily is pregnant, and the due date is still in July...
Potter, I'm going to kill you!Kill you! ! ! ! !
1980. 5, 21
I made a deal with Lucius.He concealed from the Dark Lord the news that Lily's child might also be the Child of Prophecy for me, and I will provide him with the potion he wants free of charge within 20 years.
He said he didn't believe that prophecy at all, and he wouldn't tell the Dark Lord, he just didn't want to stand in the way of my promotion.
Ghosts believed him.
1980. 6, 1
Selwyn was caught.A plan to divide the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic begins.
1980. 7, 15
I think maybe I was born with the last name Blake as a recoil.Bellatrix found out about Lily, and she reported it to the Dark Lord.
The Dark Lord taught Lucius and me a lesson.
The Dark Lord said he was disappointed in me, not because I tried to save Lily's life, but because I hid something from him.
Yes, he has clearly promised me that he will save Lily's life.Why should I hide?The Dark Lord was right, he could kill Potter and the kid for me, and Lily would come back to me.
But that was... Lily's child.No, Severus, stop your useless sympathy, you should never feel any sympathy for Potter in your life.
They are your enemies.
1980. 8, 1
The child was born, July 7st.And on this very day I learned from Evan Rozier the cause of her sister's death.
The Dark Lord promised Rozier and Little Black to save the woman's life, but she eventually became a victim of Selwyn's revenge on Little Black.
She is pure blood, she is Rozier's younger sister, and Rozier is the most trusted person of the Dark Lord besides Bellatrix.
Even if such a woman is dead, will the Dark Lord really keep his promise not to kill Lily?
And why did I know about it on this day?
Is all this God's will?
1980. 8, 2
The Dark Lord wants me to surrender to Dumbledore over Lily.
Dumbledore said I disgusted him.
I myself am disgusted with myself.From becoming a Death Eater to the present, the endless killings, the endless search for opportunities to rise to the top, these days are not what I expected at the beginning.
I know that neither the Dark Lord nor Dumbledore really trust me.They're right, I really don't deserve any of their trust.
I don't care which of them wins.
I only care about who among them can keep Lily.
1980. 8, 9
The news of Blake's imprisonment was fired up.There is a pleasure of revenge.
Dumbledore asked me if Black had joined Voldemort after all.
I said I don't know.
I really don't know.
1980. 8, 31
Blake is out of prison.
The Dark Lord asked me exactly where Dumbledore hid the Potters.
I said I don't know.
I really don't know.
I'm really not a good spy.
I'm a double agent, but I don't even know which side I'm on.
**********************
After coming out of the Ministry of Magic, Sirius lost a lot of weight.When he came home, he held Lynn's hand tightly, but didn't say a word.
As soon as he got home, Sirius turned into Padfoot, huddled in a corner, staring at Lynn wetly with smoky dog eyes.Seeing this, Lynn sighed softly, turned himself into a golden retriever, lay down beside Padfoot, and leaned against his head.
Animagization, this is the way Lynn taught Sirius to relieve pain.Ever since Selwyn mentioned Regulus to Sirius, and Sirius couldn't find a way to open his brother's diary, he has been in extreme anxiety.In order to relieve Sirius' anxiety, Lynn taught him this method.Although Animagus also has human thinking, but when it becomes an animal, human emotions will be much weaker.This is actually a way of escaping from reality, but people are always weak, even Sirius is no exception.
Later, this method turned out to be a barometer for Lynn to judge Sirius' mood.She knew that whenever he transformed into Padfoot, but instead of jumping or making noise, instead lying motionless on the ground, it meant that he was not feeling well.He has transformed a lot, and Lynn can even tell from the posture of Padfoot's ears and tail whether the pessimism in his heart is anger, sadness, or grievance, and whether he wants to be alone or wants Lynn to accompany him .
The next day, Sirius was in a better mood.James sent a letter asking Sirius and Lynn to come to the Order of the Phoenix together.
There are not many people in the Order of the Phoenix, just Dorcas, Headmaster Dumbledore and the James family.As soon as he saw Sirius, James complained: "You are here, Padfoot. Lily, Harry and I have been detained by the headmaster at the headquarters for more than half a month. He said it was to protect us."
"Protect you?" Both Sirius and Lynn were puzzled.
"Ahem, it's like this. On the day Sirius was arrested, I got definite news that Voldemort already knew about the prophecy, and he believed that the child mentioned in the prophecy was Harry." Dumbledore said. Principal Lido said.
"What?!" Lynn dropped the cup in his hand in shock, and the water spilled all over the floor.Without thinking about using a refresher for the cup, Lynn hurriedly asked, "How did Voldemort know?"
"I can't explain this. It involves a spy I have planted among the Death Eaters. I must keep his identity a secret for now."
"That can't keep us locked here at the headquarters. Lily and I have to go back to participate in Auror training. I can't go home for a day without destroying Voldemort, right? There's not even a bed here." Zhan shouted.
"Until I think of a way to keep you and Harry safe, no." Dumbledore said very seriously.
At this time, Lynn thought of a very old and ancient spell, so old that she had never read it in any current book.So, she said with some uncertainty: "Uh... can we try the Ruthless Loyalty Curse?"
"The Fidelity Curse? What is that?" Everyone present except Lynn, Dumbledore, and little Harry, who could not speak, all asked this question in unison.
Dumbledore looked at Lynn in surprise and said, "You know this magic?"
"Um... It seems that when I was studying ancient runes, I read a book that recorded this spell." Lynn replied.In fact, she had read the record of the Chidan Loyalty Mantra in a rune book thousands of years ago.
"It's not that I haven't thought about using this spell, but I've always had doubts about the effectiveness of this spell." Dumbledore said, and then he explained the general principle of the Fidelity Curse.
"So what's your doubt?" Lynn asked.
"First of all, how effective this spell can be. Keep a secret in a person's heart, so what if this secret is common sense? For example, we keep 'Dumbledore is a wizard' a secret. If we can keep it secret, it is difficult Doesn't everyone, even myself, forget that I'm a wizard and think I'm a witch, or even a Muggle woman?"
Lynn and Lily opened their mouths, and James was so happy that he lay on the table, panting for a long time before saying: "Hey, if this is true, we will keep 'Voldemort is a wizard' a secret, I will wait and see The scene where Voldemort thinks he's a Muggle, and a bunch of men courting him as a 'woman'."
Everyone imagined the last scene, and immediately got goosebumps all over the floor.
"Second, it's about the Secret Keeper." Dumbledore continued regardless of James' performance, "The principle is that if the Secret Keeper doesn't reveal the secret intentionally, the secret will never be known. Or what about Veritaserum? Will the secret be leaked unintentionally? And, can the holder of the secret be the keeper of the secret.”
No one can solve these two problems.Lin En didn't know either, she had only heard about it, so she didn't think so much like Dumbledore.
So Dumbledore said: "If you want to know whether this spell can be used, you must first solve these two problems. Lynn, you come to Hogwarts tomorrow, and I will ask Mrs. Find out all the ancient rune books, and you can help me find the detailed description of this spell."
"Okay." Lynn nodded.
"I'll follow along, my ancient runes have passed the OWLs exam, maybe it can be useful." Lily said immediately.
"But Lily, if you go, don't I want to stay here alone." James said pitifully.
"You don't know ancient runes, of course you have to stay! You stay here and take good care of Harry." Lily didn't give her husband any face.
"And what if he wants milk?" James said thoughtlessly.
Lily's face turned red, and she squeezed out a sentence between her teeth: "I-will-do-first-make-milk-pre-preparation-well-."
Sirius laughed out loud as he saw James' strict control over his wife.The anger he had received in Azkaban and the Ministry of Magic in the past few days was finally swept away.
So, in the next month, Lynn and Lily, and even Sirius, who hadn't returned to the Auror Department so soon to report, began to help the headmaster search for information about the Fidelity Curse. Conjectures about the potency of the spell.They also invited Professor Babling, who taught ancient runes at Hogwarts, and Croy, who was far away in France, to help. Finally, they decided on a plan to protect the James family with the Fidelity Curse.
"According to the results of our current experiment, first of all, this spell cannot be kept secret from 'common sense', but it requires the magic power of the caster to be very powerful, uh... at least ten times as strong as mine. And it is not suitable for 'common sense' or' Keeping immoral things 'secret' will cause great backlash to the caster," said Dumbledore.
Merlin's beard!It has ten times more magical power than Dumbledore, so what kind of Fidelity Curse can be used to destroy Voldemort directly, okay?Everyone complained inwardly.
"Moreover, there are many variants of this spell, but most of them are lost. The existing spells we can find only keep one location secret." Dumbledore added.
"So, we can keep James and Lily's home a secret." Lynn added.
"Isn't our address common sense? Don't you all know my address?" James asked.
"Do you think you are a famous person, and everyone knows your home address? It's common sense." Sirius cut James' head off with a smile, "Besides, who knew you would hide in your new home, where your parents used to live place, or any other property of the Potters?"
"That's true," James muttered.
"Secondly, it's not that the person to be protected can't be set as the keeper, but the method has been lost, and we're still researching it. So if we want to cast the spell as soon as possible, we can only set someone else as the keeper. For example , James, you are hiding in Department A, and I will be the secret keeper, so even if Sirius and the others knew the address of Department A before, he would not be able to see Department A without my permission, and they would not be able to tell others the address. In addition, The secrets kept by the Secret Keeper cannot be obtained through the application of Remembrance, Veritaserum, or even the Imperius Curse, and we have done experiments and confirmed this." Dumbledore concluded.
"Wait, wait." James finally came to his senses, "After talking a lot, I still have to hide in a certain place and can't go out. What's the difference between hiding here at the headquarters?"
"Of course there is a difference. As you complained before, there are only two rooms here, and there are no beds. How much trouble have we caused Dorcas and other members to live here these days?" Lily said immediately, and then she I added in my mind: I don't even have a place to nurse Harry.
James dropped his head.
"Then there is one last question, who will be the secret-keeper?" asked Dorcas.
"Of course Sirius." James replied without thinking.
Dumbledore glanced at Sirius, then at James and said, "I'll be the secret-keeper myself."
"No, I want Sirius to do it." James did not compromise.Lynn felt that the atmosphere between him and Dumbledore was a little weird.
"James, there's nothing wrong with the headmaster being a secret keeper," Sirius said.
"I know, it's dangerous to be a secret keeper, maybe you're afraid?" James raised his eyebrows and looked at Sirius.
"Of course I'm not afraid, but..."
"That's all right," James said firmly.
Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes stared at James, as if he wanted James to change his mind, but James refused.
Dumbledore sighed: "You don't have to make a decision so quickly, you can think about it again in these two days."
James curled his lips and didn't speak again, but his expression clearly said: I won't change my mind.
After the meeting, the headmaster went back to Hogwarts, and James dragged Sirius to the cabin, locked the door, and muttered something inside.After Sirius came out, his expression was not very good.
After returning home, Lynn asked Sirius what James had said to him.
Sirius looked at Lynn, sighed, and then said quietly: "He told me the reason why he insisted on me being the secret keeper."
"what is the reason?"
Sirius turned his head sideways, as if he didn't want Lynn to see the embarrassment in his eyes, and then he said: "The reason is that Dumbledore told James clearly that there might be traitors in the robbery group of four. James insisted that I am the secret keeper, he is expressing his position to Dumbledore and all the people of the Order of the Phoenix, and he wants to show his trust in me in this way."
traitor!This word again, why is this word haunting them like a nightmare!
"No, it's impossible, there can't be traitors among us..." Lynn shook his head painfully.
Sirius smiled wryly: "I also want to tell myself that it is impossible, but you also know that the recent decisions of the Order of the Phoenix related to us will always be leaked, and the day Selwyn framed me, only the six of us were present. Who, you say, leaked what Selwyn said?"
Lynn was surprised when he heard the words: "Do you have someone to suspect?"
Sirius lowered his head. In the shadows, Lynn couldn't see his expression clearly, but he heard him say, "You know, since the Screaming Shack incident, my friendship with Remus has cracked, and there are Sometimes I feel like he never really forgave me."
"You suspect Remus? But... But don't you think that your reason is too far-fetched? I know that your relationship with James is closer than that of Remus and Peter, but you told me However, although the situation at the time was very dangerous, after all James saved him, why does Remus want to kill James?"
Sirius shook his head: "But you also know that after graduation, Remus has been estranged from us. He has trouble finding a job and is unwilling to accept our help. What if Voldemort finds him in person at this time? You know, Voldemort has always He likes to recruit dark creatures like werewolves, and he is good at demagogy. If he said to Remus: 'Look, Sirius Black almost killed you, but your brothers forgave him so easily, regardless of And your feelings. James Potter made Black his son's godfather without even thinking about you. Wake up, you will always be an outsider between them, let alone Potter has his own Family, Black and Pediru also have their own girlfriends, how much do they value their friendship with you? You are a werewolf, and you will never be able to integrate into their world.' Do you think Remus will hesitate? "
"How did Voldemort know that Remus was a werewolf? How did he know that?"
"Snape, have you forgotten about Snape? Besides, some time ago, there were rumors about me all over the place. Although the matter about Remus was not reported in the newspapers, there is no guarantee that someone who is interested will not find out." Sirius said anxiously.
"Even if Voldemort said such things to Remus, I don't think Remus will turn against him because of this. Remus has always been a very assertive person, and he will not be so easily provoked..."
"Do you think I don't know what you're saying?" Sirius' voice suddenly became louder, "Do you think I hope it's Remus? Of course I don't! I can never forget every full moon night The scene where we run together in the Forbidden Forest! But I can’t deceive myself anymore, there is a traitor among us! I can’t bet the lives of James’ family of three!!! You tell me, who else could be besides Remus A traitor? James or Lily herself? Or Peter, whose parents don’t know magic? I don’t think Peter would accept him even if he was willing to be a traitor to Voldemort. Or do you want me to doubt you, my fiancée?!”
Lynn looked at Sirius with surprise and sadness on his face.
"Lyn, I'm sorry, I... I'm not, I said the wrong thing, I didn't doubt you, I never... Really, I... Maybe I'm really crazy. Azkaban put My head is messed up." Sirius buried his face in his hands decadently.
Lynn took Sirius' hand from his face distressedly and held it: "Sirius, you are not crazy, you are just under too much pressure recently. I know that recent actions have been repeatedly leaked, not only Crouch, Even in the Order of the Phoenix, there are many people who doubt you."
"That's right, except for James, none of them really believed in me. Maybe, in Dumbledore's heart, he had already decided that I was the traitor."
"Don't think about it that way, if the headmaster doubts you, why would he run around for you after you were taken away?"
"That's because James told him he wouldn't agree to go into hiding unless Dumbledore bailed me out."
It turned out to be like this!Lynn didn't know what to say.
"Dumbledore hasn't liked me since the Screaming Shack incident, and he doesn't even trust me as much as he trusts you. Hehe, I deserve it. Even if I stayed in Gryffindor for seven years , They still think that I am dark in my bones. Yes, people who have come out of the dark family, how can they really yearn for the light... What Xia Kelin said is actually right, it is right... Hahahaha." Sirius Laughing, the laughter is so hopeless and helpless, as if a person has been driven to a desperate situation.
"Stop laughing, Sirius!" Lynn yelled to stop the maddening laughter. "Don't you remember what I told you when you were dueling with Oscar? I told you at that time that the blame you encountered at that time would never be the last time. After you walked out of the campus, you still There will be more similar and even more serious unreasonable accusations."
"But you also said that if you want to convince people that it's just their prejudice, you have to prove it to them. But after all these years, haven't I proved enough?!" Sirius said loudly and excitedly.
Lynn looked at Sirius, and felt a dull pain in his heart again and again.She loves him, really loves him.She moved closer to Sirius and hugged him from behind.
"Siris, in my heart, you have proved enough, but you can't ask everyone to think so, not everyone has the opportunity to get along with you day and night. The reputation of the Braque family is deeply rooted in the magic world, and you screamed Regarding the case in the hut, although I am also dissatisfied with the principal's distrust of you, you have to admit that it is not surprising that the principal, as a person in charge of the overall situation, is suspicious. If he is really a wizard, he will devote himself to Believe me, then the Order of the Phoenix is really dangerous. Sirius, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes time to see the heart. This is a protracted war, and they will understand you one day. Not to mention, you and me. Regardless Whatever happens, no matter what others think of you, I believe in you and I am by your side."
Lynn was talking, when Sirius suddenly pulled her in front of him, he put his arms around her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his chest, and then she heard him say: "You said that , you have to remember your words, you will always believe in me, and you will always be by my side."
"Of course, this is my promise to you..."
The author has something to say: This chapter is a hard one to write, whether it's about Snape or Sirius.

In addition, The secrets kept by the Secret Keeper cannot be obtained through the application of Remembrance, Veritaserum, or even the Imperius Curse, and we have done experiments and confirmed this." Dumbledore concluded.
"Wait, wait." James finally came to his senses, "After talking a lot, I still have to hide in a certain place and can't go out. What's the difference between hiding here at the headquarters?"
"Of course there is a difference. As you complained before, there are only two rooms here, and there are no beds. How much trouble have we caused Dorcas and other members to live here these days?" Lily said immediately, and then she I added in my mind: I don't even have a place to nurse Harry.
James dropped his head.
"Then there is one last question, who will be the secret-keeper?" asked Dorcas.
"Of course Sirius." James replied without thinking.
Dumbledore glanced at Sirius, then at James and said, "I'll be the secret-keeper myself."
"No, I want Sirius to do it." James did not compromise.Lynn felt that the atmosphere between him and Dumbledore was a little weird.
"James, there's nothing wrong with the headmaster being a secret keeper," Sirius said.
"I know, it's dangerous to be a secret keeper, maybe you're afraid?" James raised his eyebrows and looked at Sirius.
"Of course I'm not afraid, but..."
"That's all right," James said firmly.
Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes stared at James, as if he wanted James to change his mind, but James refused.
Dumbledore sighed: "You don't have to make a decision so quickly, you can think about it again in these two days."
James curled his lips and didn't speak again, but his expression clearly said: I won't change my mind.
After the meeting, the headmaster went back to Hogwarts, and James dragged Sirius to the cabin, locked the door, and muttered something inside.After Sirius came out, his expression was not very good.
After returning home, Lynn asked Sirius what James had said to him.
Sirius looked at Lynn, sighed, and then said quietly: "He told me the reason why he insisted on me being the secret keeper."
"what is the reason?"
Sirius turned his head sideways, as if he didn't want Lynn to see the embarrassment in his eyes, and then he said: "The reason is that Dumbledore told James clearly that there might be traitors in the robbery group of four. James insisted that I am the secret keeper, he is expressing his position to Dumbledore and all the people of the Order of the Phoenix, and he wants to show his trust in me in this way."
traitor!This word again, why is this word haunting them like a nightmare!
"No, it's impossible, there can't be traitors among us..." Lynn shook his head painfully.
Sirius smiled wryly: "I also want to tell myself that it is impossible, but you also know that the recent decisions of the Order of the Phoenix related to us will always be leaked, and the day Selwyn framed me, only the six of us were present. Who, you say, leaked what Selwyn said?"
Lynn was surprised when he heard the words: "Do you have someone to suspect?"
Sirius lowered his head. In the shadows, Lynn couldn't see his expression clearly, but he heard him say, "You know, since the Screaming Shack incident, my friendship with Remus has cracked, and there are Sometimes I feel like he never really forgave me."
"You suspect Remus? But... But don't you think that your reason is too far-fetched? I know that your relationship with James is closer than that of Remus and Peter, but you told me However, although the situation at the time was very dangerous, after all James saved him, why does Remus want to kill James?"
Sirius shook his head: "But you also know that after graduation, Remus has been estranged from us. He has trouble finding a job and is unwilling to accept our help. What if Voldemort finds him in person at this time? You know, Voldemort has always He likes to recruit dark creatures like werewolves, and he is good at demagogy. If he said to Remus: 'Look, Sirius Black almost killed you, but your brothers forgave him so easily, regardless of And your feelings. James Potter made Black his son's godfather without even thinking about you. Wake up, you will always be an outsider between them, let alone Potter has his own Family, Black and Pediru also have their own girlfriends, how much do they value their friendship with you? You are a werewolf, and you will never be able to integrate into their world.' Do you think Remus will hesitate? "
"How did Voldemort know that Remus was a werewolf? How did he know that?"
"Snape, have you forgotten about Snape? Besides, some time ago, there were rumors about me all over the place. Although the matter about Remus was not reported in the newspapers, there is no guarantee that someone who is interested will not find out." Sirius said anxiously.
"Even if Voldemort said such things to Remus, I don't think Remus will turn against him because of this. Remus has always been a very assertive person, and he will not be so easily provoked..."
"Do you think I don't know what you're saying?" Sirius' voice suddenly became louder, "Do you think I hope it's Remus? Of course I don't! I can never forget every full moon night The scene where we run together in the Forbidden Forest! But I can’t deceive myself anymore, there is a traitor among us! I can’t bet the lives of James’ family of three!!! You tell me, who else could be besides Remus A traitor? James or Lily herself? Or Peter, whose parents don’t know magic? I don’t think Peter would accept him even if he was willing to be a traitor to Voldemort. Or do you want me to doubt you, my fiancée?!”
Lynn looked at Sirius with surprise and sadness on his face.
"Lyn, I'm sorry, I... I'm not, I said the wrong thing, I didn't doubt you, I never... Really, I... Maybe I'm really crazy. Azkaban put My head is messed up." Sirius buried his face in his hands decadently.
Lynn took Sirius' hand from his face distressedly and held it: "Sirius, you are not crazy, you are just under too much pressure recently. I know that recent actions have been repeatedly leaked, not only Crouch, Even in the Order of the Phoenix, there are many people who doubt you."
"That's right, except for James, none of them really believed in me. Maybe, in Dumbledore's heart, he had already decided that I was the traitor."
"Don't think about it that way, if the headmaster doubts you, why would he run around for you after you were taken away?"
"That's because James told him he wouldn't agree to go into hiding unless Dumbledore bailed me out."
It turned out to be like this!Lynn didn't know what to say.
"Dumbledore hasn't liked me since the Screaming Shack incident, and he doesn't even trust me as much as he trusts you. Hehe, I deserve it. Even if I stayed in Gryffindor for seven years , They still think that I am dark in my bones. Yes, people who have come out of the dark family, how can they really yearn for the light... What Xia Kelin said is actually right, it is right... Hahahaha." Sirius Laughing, the laughter is so hopeless and helpless, as if a person has been driven to a desperate situation.
"Stop laughing, Sirius!" Lynn yelled to stop the maddening laughter. "Don't you remember what I told you when you were dueling with Oscar? I told you at that time that the blame you encountered at that time would never be the last time. After you walked out of the campus, you still There will be more similar and even more serious unreasonable accusations."
"But you also said that if you want to convince people that it's just their prejudice, you have to prove it to them. But after all these years, haven't I proved enough?!" Sirius said loudly and excitedly.
Lynn looked at Sirius, and felt a dull pain in his heart again and again.She loves him, really loves him.She moved closer to Sirius and hugged him from behind.
"Siris, in my heart, you have proved enough, but you can't ask everyone to think so, not everyone has the opportunity to get along with you day and night. The reputation of the Braque family is deeply rooted in the magic world, and you screamed Regarding the case in the hut, although I am also dissatisfied with the principal's distrust of you, you have to admit that it is not surprising that the principal, as a person in charge of the overall situation, is suspicious. If he is really a wizard, he will devote himself to Believe me, then the Order of the Phoenix is really dangerous. Sirius, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes time to see the heart. This is a protracted war, and they will understand you one day. Not to mention, you and me. Regardless Whatever happens, no matter what others think of you, I believe in you and I am by your side."
Lynn was talking, when Sirius suddenly pulled her in front of him, he put his arms around her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his chest, and then she heard him say: "You said that , you have to remember your words, you will always believe in me, and you will always be by my side."
"Of course, this is my promise to you..."
The author has something to say: This chapter is a hard one to write, whether it's about Snape or Sirius.
