Alright, this is a rewrite from my story Snape's Sonsand it's going to have the same basic plot idea behind it but it's going to be written differently. So again, I've read quite a few stories about Harry being Snape's son and I wanted to write one myself. So anyone who's written a story like that can be thanked for any inspiration I may have gotten from them.

I also want to give credit to drarry-lover23 for the plot idea of having Harry's abuse a bit more present. I hadn't really thought of having it present and was going to keep it like in the original version of the story and have it just be more flashbacks or discussion but I must say I kind of like the idea of having it seen more and that alone gave me some idea of how I want to go with it. Anyways, I'll stop rambling and just let you enjoy the first chapter and I hope anyone who has read the old version enjoys this version as much as the other one.

Harry put the rest of his stuff into his trunk and closed the lid with a soft thud, making sure it was locked and then he rose to his feet and went to sit on his bed; glancing around the room that he had shared with people he considered friends. He was not looking forward to returning to Privet Drive and his hope of Dumbledore had been crushed early on in the school year and just recently while he'd been in the Hospital Wing. He'd asked the Headmaster if he would be able to stay at the school; using the excuse that his family did not like the idea of magic. He'd been told that he needed to stay with the Dursey's because they were his family and being there kept him safe. He sighed as he let himself fall backwards so that he was staring up at the ceiling; he knew that the other boys were down in the common room but he wasn't really looking forward to going to join them.
"Harry?" A voice called, pulling the raven-haired boy from his thoughts. "Harry, are you going to come down to the common room?"
"No thanks Ron." Harry said, his emerald green eyes moving toward the doorway where his best friend Ron Weasley was standing with Hermione.
"It's just for the Summer, Harry." Hermione told him, moving past the red-head and going to sit with him. "You know that you can always contact us if you need us." His friends knew that his family didn't like him and the whole magic thing just made things worse on his part.
"I know." Harry said, pushing himself up to sit; no reason to be depressing when they didn't have a lot of time and he didn't want to spend it thinking about what summer had in store for him. "You know what, maybe I will come down." Harry told them, standing up from the bed. "I'm not going to see any of my friends until school starts again, I might as well enjoy it."

Hermione and Ron were glad that he was willing to put his worries about his relatives aside and headed downstairs with him, though they were nice enough to not mention their own plans for the summer so that they wouldn't make Harry feel any worse. Though it was almost in no time at all that they needed to head down to the train in order to get home. For most of the students it was a time to enjoy being out of school and for the muggle born students it was a time to go home and share the stories of Hogwarts with their family; in Harry's world though his family didn't want to hear a thing about Hogwarts and the other 'freaks' that he met while he was here. When Harry, Hermione and Ron arrived to the train the trio swiped a cabin quickly and took a seat while the others students roamed the hallway outside in order to find friends and a cabin in order to sit together. Harry was sitting next to the window and looking out sadly, he didn't want to leave the Wizarding World behind and go back to the nightmare that happened to be his home for the next three months. The only thing he had to look forward to was the fact when September came he would be able to be back at Hogwarts with his friends.
"Mind if we join you guys?" A duo requested from the doorway to the cabin and when the trio looked over, Ron's older twin brothers Fred and George were standing there.
"Why aren't you sitting with students from your year?" Hermione asked them.
"Now how would we be able to keep an eye on little Ron if we did that?" Fred asked, as he and his twin came into the cabin and closed the door behind them.
"We need to make sure that he doesn't get into any mischief before we get home." George added.
"I'm sure mum and dad would be more worried about you two causing trouble." Ron informed them as the twins took a seat and made themselves at home.

Now the twins were all for fun, games and joking around but even they were able to tell that not everyone in the cabin was looking forward to the summer. The easily saw that Harry was off in his own little world as he looked out the window of the cabin; even though currently their wasn't much to be seen other than the forest nearby.
"Why the sad look Harry?" The twins said together, pulling Harry from his thoughts and turned his attention to the others in the cabin.
"Leave him alone you guys." Ron told him. "You don't need to answer them Harry."
"I'm just not as excited to go home." Harry said, shrugging it off and looking at the other people in the cabin with him. "I mean, my family isn't a huge fan of magic so I can only imagine how they're going to act when I get home." He told them, he really didn't want to imagine how his uncle was going to act at all but why would he want to start spreading that around? He'd told Hermione and Ron a bit about how family acted but even they didn't know the extent of it…no one did. "Anyways, does your families have anything planned for the summer?" He asked, looking at Hermione and then at the Weasleys.
"I doubt it for us." Ron told him. "Unless of course our mum can get Bill and Charlie to come home for a visit."
"I'm not sure what my parents have planned either." Hermione told him. "Though I do know that I want to get ahead on some reading." Hermione said, her statement making both Harry and Ron roll their eyes. "You boys should do the same." She said, looking at her two friends before glancing at the twins. "You two as well."
"We do read." George told her.
"All the time." Fred agreed.
"I don't mean on ways to cause mischief." Hermione told them. "I meant for your classes."
"If we need too." The twins told her in unison.
"My point exactly, you boys should read even if you don't have too. You'll learn quite a bit." The young witch told them.
"Blimey Hermione." Ron said, speaking up. "What are you, our mother?"
"I'm just saying." She said, looking over at the youngest Weasley boy.
"She's just being a good friend." Harry told him. "Leave her alone, you don't have to do what she told you."
"Thank you Harry." Hermione said, sending him a smile which he returned with a small one.

The Weasley twins moved the topic away from reading and brought up Quiddtch, a topic that everyone could discuss, even Hermione even though she wasn't as into as the others but she gave them a few facts she'd read about that they hadn't known. That led to her telling them a couple of books she'd read about the sport and was happy when she seemed to be leading them toward actually reading something; it wasn't for school but in her mind it was a start. Harry kept to himself but was able to give a little input as well, he was watching the grass and trees go by as they got closer and closer to King's Cross Station. Everyone had already changed out of their robes and were in everyday clothes by the time they pulled into the station. Harry watched as everyone got up to meet their families; excited to be home and he followed slowly behind as he got his trunk and Hedwig's cage and headed to the platform where Hermione's parents were waiting to greet her and Mrs. Weasley was waiting with young Ginny. Mrs. Weasley greeted her sons and then did the same to Harry; making him send her a small smile and thanking her in person for the sweater she'd sent him at Christmas.
"It was no trouble dear, I made them for all my children and it was just one more." She said, looking around. "Where is your family?"
"They're probably in the main part of the station." Harry told her, his aunt and uncle probably had no idea how to get to the platform.
"Well, you can walk out with us if you'd like."
"Thank you Mrs. Weasley." Harry said, adjusting his hold on Hedwig's cage as she hooted softly from inside. "Bye Hermione." Harry said, watching as she headed out with her parents.
"See you boys in September." Hermione said, waving before she went through the barrier with her parents.
"We just need to wait for Percy." Molly said, looking down the barrier where her son was standing with the other prefects.

Harry was quite content with waiting for Percy; though in the back of his mind he knew that he should probably head out to meet his aunt and uncle before they start questioning where he was and get angry. He glanced toward the barrier; almost as if his uncle was going to appear and drag him out of here himself.
"You alright Harry?" Ginny asked, making the young Wizard jump a bit.
"I'm alright Ginny." Harry said, sending her a small smile; watching as her cheeks took on a pink tinge, was it something he'd said?
"You boys have everything?" Molly asked, as Percy made his way over to them, though her statement was aimed more toward Ron than anything.
"Yes mum." The Weasley boys told her, before the small party headed out of the barrier into the main part of the station.
"About time Potter." Harry's cousin Dudley said from where he was waiting with his mother and father.
"There's my family." Harry spoke up, glancing at the Weasley's. "See you in September Ron." Harry said, quickly making his way over to the Dursley's, not even bothering to wait for a response from his friend.
"Let's go boy." Vernon muttered, as they headed out to the car, opening the trunk of the car to put Harry's trunk into it. Harry kept a grip on Hedwig; not having plans to let his uncle put his owl into the trunk with everything else. He quickly got into the backseat next to his cousin and buckled up as he kept Hedwig on his lap; debating on if he should let her out of the cage and fly home. He knew that she had to be bored of being stuck in the cage since she was free to fly around when he'd been at Hogwarts; maybe he'd talk to his aunt about letting her out when they got home.

Alright, the ending wasn't quite as good as I wanted and I'm pretty sure you can tell that I kind of rushed past it. I apologize for that and I promise to make the second chapter better and hopefully less rushed. I had a deadline I gave myself to post this and then things kept popping up it seemed like and then I felt horrible for putting it off so I kind of just tried to throw something together to get the first chapter up but the action and everything couldn't really start until Harry was away from Hogwarts anyways.
