Chapter Six – The Break In
After seeing Harry at Christmas, Snape realised just how little he really knew about his son. How little he knew of his upbringing and how little he knew of his abilities. In the past he had always dismissed him as swine like his farther, which was all too ironic now that he had in fact been insulting himself for years.
Snape tore open the filing cabinet.
As he had mysteriously covered the Trophy room with a sticky semi-permanent ink, he knew that Flitch, being the squib that he was, would have great difficulty getting it off. So Snape relaxed slightly, he wasn't about to get caught any time soon. But it didn't mean that he shouldn't take precautions.
"P…p…p…" he muttered under his breath searching desperately for a file labelled Potter.
Finally he found it. He began wading through the files.
Alden Potter…James Potter and yes, finally Harry Potter, he pulled out the file with a slight curl of anger in his lip. James Potter never had a son, he's idiotic traits had never been passed onto the next generation, 'thankfully' he thought to himself. It should have been Harry Snape that he was looking for. He tried his best to put this to the back of his mind. Now wasn't the time.
Snape scanned the file,

With a flick of his wand, Snape couldn't resist but change his name to farther, after all he was only reveling the truth. After years and years of hatred toward James maybe now, finally he would get the recognition he deserved, but it wasn't exactly like anyone was going to read his file, let alone notice what he had done.
Snape duplicated it, placing one copy in his pocket and putting the original back into the cabinet, he slammed shut the draw and hurriedly left the office. He had just managed to sneak out and get to the end of the hall by the time he spotted Flitch coming the other way and humming a particularly annoying tune. He seemed to be in a better mood than ever, since Professor Umbridge had taken over.
Author's note – Thanks' to everyone who reviewed last chapter, I'm seriously so so sorry that it's been such a long time between the last two chapter, I've been busy writing a Remadora story that I'm kinda carried away with, so sorry! But I promise I won't be giving up on this story, but it might be a while between chapter updates :(
