Chapter 4: The Battle Begins

For months Harry would train in Rowena's Room with Hermione and some times even Snape who would read the potions books.

It was Halloween today and Hermione was running through the halls with her wand in her hand as she looked over her shoulder as she ran from death eater students who were running after her to bring her to Voldemort who was at the edge of the forest.

Rushing to the stairs she ran up the stairs then turned and blasted the stairs so they couldn't follow. She smirked and ran to Rowena's Room where she rushed inside to find Snape and Harry talking about being his father.

"We have a problem." she gasped out as she bent over trying to gather air.

Getting up Snape came to her side.

"What is it?"

"Oh nothing, only Voldemort is here, and I just blew up a movie stair case in order to out run death eater students who were going to take me to Voldemort as a prize."

Turning to Harry Severus found him to be standing dressed in black jeans that hugged to his legs, black high tops with a blood red, emerald green and silver snake intertwined in the form of the tri-Celtic knot. He wore a T-shirt with the same symbol of snakes on his shoes on the center of the shirt, that was seen from underneath his black robes that Snape handed to him.

His hair once messy black hair was hanging down and more to appearance of Snape. He was taller and the scar was still there but really stood out from his pale complexion. His eyes were the same only his nose was a little more like Snape's.

Hermione gasped as it became clear why they looked so much alike.

"Oh My God!"

Harry and Snape turned to Hermione with her mouth open in shock. Harry smirked as she caught on to his looks being very similar to Snape's.

"You're his son!"

Snape reached within his shirt and pulled out a pendent and taking up Harry's hand he placed it within his grasp and then left them to the room alone.

Harry opened his hand as Hermione came to his side and they looked down to find the Snape Family Crest on the pendent.

Looking towards the door Harry found Snape to be there. Harry reached up and pulled it on and looked at his father.

Snape gave a small smile that actually met his eyes before he was gone to join in the final battle.

Good luck Harry, and should I not make it through this fight I want you to take the pendent to Gringott's they will have instructions on what to do. Be safe and kill riddle. You can do it. If I don't return I'll say hello to your mother.

Harry sighed as he tightened his fist around the pendent as he remembered the discussion he had with his father before Hermione had come running into the room.

Good luck dad. Harry thought.

After leaving Rowena's Room, Hermione and Harry raced down the secret passage way that Rowena's Room had shown them on a map much like the one the marauder's had made. Coming to the dead end Harry pushed a brick and they watched the wall open to the outside entrance of the school.

Everyone was already fighting on the battle field. Turning to Hermione Harry smirked "ready?" "Ready as I'll ever be."

Taking out their wands they looked at each other and together they raced out to join the fighting.
