Harry was about to stand up, but Severus raised his arm to stop him. He was definitely in for trouble. Professor Snape just called him his son! What the fuck was his bloody problem?

"Harry..."

"What happened to Mr. Potter?" Harry asked in a low voice. He kept his voice cool only because he was scared of Snape, more scared of him than he had ever been.

"Mr. Snape would have been better to call you." Severus muttered nearly under his breath. "But I suppose that would be awkward for you to hear. It makes sense for me to call you Harry now. You're not a Potter. It still stuns me that anyone believed you were. It's obvious you're your mother's son though."

Harry moved back on the seat and rested his back against it. Harry, I want you to come home with me...This castle is going to be stir crazy this year...Everyone here is using you, but you know I'm not. Harry held a hand up to his forhead and shook his head. "Oh Merlin." He mumbled. "You hate me Professor." He told him as he looked up to face him. He wasn't going to be scared to face this man, definitely not now. He was a Gryffindor and a brave one at that.

Severus clenched his teeth. He hated Harry calling him Professor right now. He wished he would call him dad. He wished for a long time that Harry would someday call him dad. Why couldn't Lily have stuck with him? She could have backed out of her marriage to James. They could have raised their son together. No, they couldn't though. Voldemort would have managed to kill Harry and Snape if he knew Harry was Snape's and Evans' son. Severus would never let that happen. He would lose his son to James. He had to mix up another potion for Harry James Potter. No one could ever know the truth, but he needed Harry to know the truth.

"You're going to do what your father asked you." Severus told him suddenly before he walked to his cauldron. Harry was tempted to ask which father he was talking about, but didn't get the chance before Severus spoke again. "You're a Potter now. I'm going to give you a potion and it will have the same affect it did on you. You will look and act like a," he hesitated and scowled under his breath. "A Potter." He finally finished as he mixed ingredients and stired them together.

"No," Harry suddenly stood up for himself. "No, I'm done being someone I'm not." He stopped speaking to think before continuing. "I was raised by James therefore I'll always love the man. You're my father though. I have your blood in me. Yet another challenge has been handed to me, and I'm not backing down."

Severus closed his eyes and counted to ten. How stupid could Harry be? Their lives continuing was all up to a seventeen year old. His son. No, James' son. Why did he bug Lily about this? Oh, he could even answer that. It was like fifth year with raging horomones again when he saw Lily Evans. The moment he saw her on the train he remembered every second ever spent with her and he wanted her so badly. Lily wanted him too though. He could read her like a book. She never loved James the way she loved him. Hell, she lost her virginity to him, Severus Snape! They didn't only have sex that night that Harry was conceived, but they made wild passionate love. Every touch and kiss was new to them. Neither had felt anything as magical in their lives. Lily's moans and screams...

"Sir?" Harry repeated for the upteenth time.

Severus looked down quickly. "Oh, right. What do you need my help with Mr...er...Harry?" He asked feeling so unlike himself right then.

"I don't think I need it anymore." Harry told him as he stood up. "I'm going to get in touch with Dad or whatever I call him now and go home. It's not safe here anymore." He said quietly.

"Harry, no!" Luna suddenly shouted. She leaped out from where she had been hiding and stared at the two.

Harry slowly turned to the woman he was now secretly dating. "Luna, do you have to follow me everywhere?" He asked her.

Luna bit her bottom lip then shrugged her shoulders. "Would you have told me all of this if I hadn't?" She asked. "No, you wouldn't have." She answered her own question. "Harry, I'm your girlfriend! Why can't you trust me?"

"Miss Lovegood!" Severus snapped her name out angrily. "How much did you hear of our conversation?"

"It doesn't matter." Harry told him. "C'mon," he said as he put his arm through Luna's and led her out of the dungeons.

"Harry! Is it true?" Luna asked. "He's your dad. The potion's master is your dad! But no. That doesn't make any sense. Professor Potter wouldn't. She just wouldn't cheat on your dad and she definitely wouldn't keep that secret for seventeen years. She's an honest woman. I can tell." She rambled until they were interrupted.

If Harry's morning couldn't get any worse, he followed Luna's eyes to see Ginny Weasley stopped in her tracks. Oh, he couldn't possibly feel anymore guilty than he did right then. He knew Ginny had a crush on him since before they even met. He once had a crush on her too, but Ron had made it more than clear that no one was dating his sister. Ron was his best friend so he had enough respect for him to stay clear of Ginny.

"Ginny," he greeted her with a smile.

"Ginny," Luna said. Unlike herself, she kept her voice quiet and actually seemed shy. She gently pulled her arm away from Harry's. Everyone expected Harry and Ginny to get together then she came along and ruined that. Ginny wasn't supposed to know. Nobody was.

Ginny forced herself to smile at the two. "Hi guys!" She said enthusiastically. "I was just on my way to umm...to the library." She told them.

"That way." Luna said pointing in the opposite direction.

Ginny nodded and turned around. "Lost my footing." She lied before walking off. "Kinda like you when you purposely smashed your ankle in." She didn't bother to lower her voice when she said this, if anything she raised it.

Luna rolled her eyes before continuing her conversation with Harry. "Your planning on going home before you even speak to your mother about this?" She asked him.

Harry shook his head. "I'm going to the common room to pack my stuff. Luna, this is one thing you have to stay out of." He told her when they reached the Gryffindor common room.

Luna waited until a few minutes after he entered the common room to run off to professor Potter's classroom. Staying out of this was the one thing she wouldn't do.

"I would have listened to you." Ginny said quietly to herself as she walked around a corner and entered her common room. "That girl's going to tell the whole castle your news." She shook her head and kept her smile hidden.
