Summary: When Severus Snape discovers something about Harry Potter, he and Lucius Malfoy go to Privet Drive where they discover something disturbing about the Boy-Who-Lived.

Prologue

"If he is my son, how did he end up with his aunt? He should have come to me."

Severus Snape held his son's birth certificate where he was clearly listed as the father. According to the paperwork that Lucius Malfoy had found, Lily and James Potter had known that Harry was a Snape. Their will had made it clear that Harry was to go to Severus in the event of their deaths. In fact, they had stated that Harry was not to go to Petunia and Vernon Dursley. What exactly was Dumbledore playing at?

Lucius and Lord Voldemort watched as Severus pulled out a quill and a piece of parchment. Nearly thirty minutes later, his owl left carrying a letter.

"I hope he responds." Severus joined his friends in front of the fire.

It was three hours later when his owl returned. Severus eagerly took the letter.

Professor Snape,

This is the first I am hearing anything about any of this. I am eager to hear more and will be home if you would like to stop by. I know Lucius Malfoy found this information and I would be willing to talk to him as well.

See you soon,

Harry Potter

Lord Voldemort stood up. "I will head home. Let me know how this goes."

"Can I help you?" A horse like woman had answered the door of 4 Privet Drive.

"We're here to see Mr. Potter."

The woman looked at them suspiciously before letting them in.

"Harry!" The two wizards winced at her shrill voice.

"Yes, Aunt Petunia?" Harry walked into the room. He blinked in surprise at seeing the two wizards.

"These men asked for you."

Harry waited until she had gone back to the kitchen before turning back to his professor.

"Why are you here, Professor, Mr. Malfoy?"

Lucius and Severus exchanged a confused look.

"You knew we were coming, Mr. Potter. We sent you a letter earlier and you responded."

Harry was quiet for a moment. "Professor, I didn't get any letter and I most certainly didn't write to you."

No one said anything. Severus knew Harry's handwriting and knew the letter had come from him. So how did Harry forget something like this?
