Severus nodded, to which Potter sighed and set his tea cup on the desk before he began his own tale. He began with 4th year, before the Goblet of Fire spit his name out, how he told one of his only friends a very large secret. Potter didn't state specifics, only that his home wasn't very loving. (Severus wanted to scoff, or demand more information. Instead, he held back and listened, filing everything away.) Then the summer after that, Potter began studying more magic. Black even began helping, teaching him Dark spells and curses the animagus had learned during his childhood. He told how during 5th year he kept getting detentions with Umbridge, and visions from the Dark Lord. He spoke of losing his godfather, and how he figured out Dumbledore was meddling in his life.
