The Forgotten Father
By: TrowGundam
Prologue - Family Problems
"Hello, Severus."
"Hello, are you okay you sounded really urgent in the fire? Is anything wrong?"
"Yes I am…I am…pregnant."
"What? How could that be? We took all the necessary precautions and everything?"
"I don't know, but it has?"
"Let me think about this for a moment."
Severus paused and stared off into nowhere as if in deep thought.
"Well, you can carry it and when it is born you can put a charm on it so it looks like it is your husband's child instead of mine, just in case."
"That will work, but all the charms like that wear off eventually."
"Well just put one of the stronger charms and put the strongest binding spell you know to keep the spell bound to it for as long as possible."
"But it could still wear off eventually."
"Well hopefully it will last long enough to make it so not too many people will get suspicious."
"Well, okay. Bye. We should probably keep our number of visits to a minimum now."
With that she left.
=======================================
~*(9 months later)*~
"Did you perform the charm and spell?"
"Yes."
"Well, did it work?"
"I think so."
"Then does that mean I can see him."
"Well…um, wouldn't that be suspicious being that you and J…I mean my husband were not that could of friends and the fact that you are considered a Deatheater and that looks even worse with Voldemort on the rampage 24/7."
"I suppose that's the best. Bye?
=======================================
~*(Halloween Night)*~
"No, No! Not Harry, please! Kill me instead!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. Avada Kedavra!"
Thump
"Now it's your turn brat! Avada Kedavra!"
"What!? What's happening? No!! What the hell happening? Nooo…"
=======================================
~*(sometime later that night)*~
"What happened?" exclaimed Severus as he looked over the destruction of the old manor that once stood at that spot in Gordic Hallow."
After about fie minutes he heard something crying just a little to his right. After he found the source he just sat staring at the site that met his eyes. James was on the floor near the door; Lily was near the destroyed crib, while a little boy was lying near Lily's feet crying. He had a cut on his forehead in the shape of a lightening bolt.
"It's…Its…Harry, my son."
After that Severus just sat there crying and staring into space muttering "why" constantly, holding Harry.
That is how Hagrid found him later the next day, just there not aware of anything around hi. It was Hagrid calling his name eventually it climbing to him yelling before he snapped out of it.
"Hagrid?"
"Yes. What are you doing here?"
"I came to see Lilly and I…I…found her and James dead. Then I saw Harry and I lost it. I just couldn't take it anymore and I just held him and started staring into nowhere wondering why this happened and then you came. Why are you here anyways?"
"Dumbledore sent me ta get Harry and take him to his aun' an' uncle's house."
"What! They're horrible he can't stay there, no they are horrible. She told me what her sister tried to do to her it was horrible he can't stay there. He just can't. He can stay with me, but just let hi stay with them."
"Well I can't help what Dumbledore wants to do but I got me orders an' those are ta take Harry an' bring him ta his aun' an' uncle."
"But…"
"I'm sorry but I got ma orders and I gotta make sure there filled. So hand him ov'r and let me get a goin'."
"Fine, but I'm going to talk to Albus and he is going to stay wi9th me. You mark my words he is my son and I am going to have him instead of those people who don't eve deserve to be related to Lily!"
Before Hagrid could reply Severus gave Harry to Hagrid and was gone."
=======================================
~*(a few minutes later, somewhere near Hogwarts)*~
"ALBUS!"
"What is it child?"
"You're…You're sending Harry to those people. That is what it is!"
"Calm down. Now, where else would he go they are his only other living relatives?"
"No! They aren't!!"
"What do you mean?"
"I and Lily were having an affair and Harry is my son, not Potter's!"
"What do you mean? Harry is the spitting image of James." replied Albus keeping his usual calm demeanor.
"However likely that is, until, it is proven otherwise, Harry shall remain with his Aunt and Uncle."
"But…"
"No buts, Severus! What I said is final. Anyways when he comes to Hogwarts you can see him as much as you want."
"Okay, but if they ever lay even one finger on him to hurt him, he is going to come stay with me. Got that?"
"Yes, that is fine child, but don't you dare try and set them up or you will never get see him." Adding the last part sarcastically.
"Who do out ink I am Sirius Black." Severus said in a mock rage.
"I know. Do you want to go see him when I meet Hagrid to drop him off?"
"No, I don't think so. I might curse the Dursleys or I might not leave Harry there. So I think it is best I just wait for him to come to school."
"Fine. Well I better be off got to make sure Hagrid hasn't lost him. Good-bye my child."
