Chapter seven; making amends
Severus rolled his eyes, at the mangy man"I will never forgive you, however its his choice whether he wants to forgive you or not."He said blandly,holding firmly onto his wand. You looked up at Severus and placed a hand on his back. Tears were in your eyes and you looked at Sirius, speaking in a shaky voice. "Sirius, can you leave us to get dressed and talk? It'll only be a minute." The man nodded and walked out of the room.
Severus watched as Sirius walked away, getting up and pulling on his robes. You also got dressed, looking sadly at Severus. "I don't want him in my life but we both deserve to hear that apology. Please don't be cross with me love." You tilted his chin to look at you delicately.
Severus chuckled lowly,"I am not cross with you. I just find it fascinating how he thinks a measly apology will make up years of torture to both you and I."He said fixing his hair. You shrug and kiss his cheek gently. "It really can't Severus, but maybe it can give you some closure. And if we got his blessing, it would feel like I wouldn't care what anyone else thinks because your childhood enemy would approve and my father and I'm rambling because I'm anxious I'm sorry." You rubbed your head nervously and shifted. Severus rolled his eyes and hugged you loosely, his stomach churning at the thought of Sirius..
You frowned softly and squeezed his hand before opening the door. "Ready to hear that apology now Sirius." Sirius nodded softly and walked in, standing in front of them nervously, obviously uncomfortable but also guilty.
Severus crossed his arms over his chest, tapping his foot inpatiently. "Well,Black. Spit it out."He sneered,glaring at Sirius.You gave Severus a look and squeezed his hand. "Be civil Severus. Remember you're the bigger man." Sirius shook his head and chuckled. "It's quite alright. You both can scream at me if you like. I deserve it. Severus, I know that no words can make up for the years of torture and unkindness you received from James and I. I don't expect you to ever forgive me but I was a cruel child and I'm deeply sorry.Son, I'm sorry I abandoned you and never contacted you. I'm sorry I assumed the worst and attacked your...partner. I'm not sure what you two are but I...I support you and even if you never want to see me again I couldn't live with myself If I didn't try."
Severus blinked in surprise at the sincerity in Sirius' words,"I'm sure Potter would be infuriated with your choice in a apology with me. I don't care whether i forgive you,Its (Y/N) whom i care about.."
Sirius laughed and shook his head. "Yes well James couldn't get over his ego and let his son be tortured by you. Now who's the bigger dad? Sorry too soon but from a father to another man, if you break his heart..." He looked at Severus with a testing look
You looked up at Severus and smiled. "I don't think he plans on it. And slow down Sirius. Just cause I came from your sperm doesn't mean you're my dad yet. You still sent my boyfriend into a tree because you have issues." Severus looked at you and smiled warmly,reaching over and gently interlacing their fingers together. He was so proud of you.
You grinned and went red before remembering Sirius was there and coughed. "Ok I have to get this off my chest. I never knew who you were. I never knew your name except for in the papers. When I came to school, getting possibly weird here but I'm an adult so fuck it. When I came here, Severus hated me and bullied me to no avail for the only reason being my last name. I came to him crying because i didn't know why he hated and he said ask your father. I told him I never even knew your name. When I needed a guardian or someone to just read with me, he was there. When I needed to go to the doctors he was there. When i came out and nearly killed myself last year, he pulled me off the ledge. As a child I looked up to him, until last year when everything got confusing. I know its weird and unconventional but what can i fucking say." You laughed with exasperation. "Guess I just have father issues. You escaped two years ago though...what stopped you from writing me a fucking letter?"
Sirius was completely stunned and had no idea what to say. He just stood there trying to get words out. "I-i i don't know...do you want the truth or comforting lie?"
Severus held your hand reassuringly,"You just didn't care enough. "You prepared yourself for the pain and shock, eyes tearing up.
Sirius shook his head in shame. "when i lost your mother... i wanted to find you in hopes you would be just like her and we could be a family but...when I found out my daughter was my son I was ashamed and I wanted nothing to do with you. Over time I realized it didn't matter because you deserve a father who's there..."
You gritted your teeth in anger, shaking and speaking in a low cracking voice. "Thank you for not sugarcoating it."
Severus slowly pulled his hand from you,"You were so selfish over the fact your child wasn't who you wanted them to be, you let him wallow in misery and selfhate because he didn't have a father? And you knew that it would happen,if he was anything like his mother."Severus stepped dangerously close to Sirius,"Go before I get the dementors and have you sent back to Azkaban to rot forever.."He growled lowly, his hand tightly gripping his wand.
You were inches from breaking down, not looking at Sirius and holding on long enough for him to leave. Anger and resentment and self hate boiled up to the surface, begging to be let out. Sirius looked at you with sad eyes. "(F/N) i-"
"GET OUT!" you screamed and raised your wand to him again. Snape growled and watched Sirius flee. Turning, he looked at you. "Love..."He had to care for you, his love was breaking.
You fell to the floor and sobbed, your wand clattering and rolling away. Your body shook in anger and you gripped your sides. Why were you so stupid to think it would be different?
Snape sat next to you and pulled you into a close embrace, pulling the young boy to his chest."Come here, my love.."He whispered, handling you gently. He didn't want you to go off the deep end once more.
You shook in anger, calmly unraveling yourself from Snape and grabbing your wand off the floor. You opened the door to see Sirius down the hall and with hot tears going down your face you yelled out a single curse. "CRUCIO!" You watched Sirius writhe in pain, not being able to scream. "NOW YOU KNOW HOW I'VE FELT THE PAST 17 YEARS!" Your hand was shaking and you were barely standing but you wanted to make him pay
