AN: I want to thank you all for your wonderful reviews! I really do appreciate them. Well lets get back to the story now.


Chapter 7: Letters, and Urges.
Last Chapter:

"What can I do for you my boys?" The headmaster asked merrily, his eyes twinkled. Snape pulled the letter out, and handed it to his mentor, and friend. Dumbledore took it and read it with interest. After he was done, he looked at the two infront of him. "Well isn't this a surprise?" He asked his eyes continuing their damned twinkling.


"You can say that again, Professor." Harry said, smirking at Severus as if saying, HA! I told you so. Severus rolled his eyes heavenward.

"Well, what do you two plan on doing about this?" Dumbledore asked, beaming.

"What do you think we should do? Should we go to the Ministry, and get it official?" Severus asked. Harry inwardly groaned, not the Ministry.

"I refuse to go to the Ministry. Can't we have someone come here, or something. Please?" Harry asked.

"I will see what I can do, but I can't promise anything Harry." Dumbledore said. Harry nodded.

There was a hissing sound behind him, and he turned around to see what, or who, it was. It was Jazira. Dumbledore, and Severus looked at him in alarm.

"Harry, I thought you said that your snake would remain in the Chamber." Severus said sternly.

"I did say that. She must have been lonely or something, and thats why she's here. Hang on, I'll ask." Harry replied, and returned his attention on the snake, while Dumbledore asked Severus about the Chamber, and why he wasn't informed.

"Jazira, I thought we came to an arrangement of you staying in the Chamber, because some people might be afraid of you." Harry said.

"I am sorry, but I thought you should know that I found a necklace that might interest you." Jazira replied.

"Really, what can you tell me about it, and would it help me against Voldemort?" Harry asked eagerly.

"Well , its a silver disk, with three sparkling blue jewels, which are grasped by a silver three-toed claw. On the back of the necklace is the most interesting. It has the words, Debello Malum Unus. I don't know what they mean, but perhaps, your human friends know." Jazira explained. Harry nodded, he turned towards the two Professors, and quickly told them what Jazira told him.

"Well this is most interesting. I would very much like to see the Chamber of Secrets. As for the latin, I'm not entirely sure what it means. You can probably look for it in the library. But, this little adventure can wait until after we sort everything out." Dumbledore said thoughtfully. Harry nodded, and he turned to talk to Jazira, but found that the snake was already gone.

"Professor, I would really like to not have to go to the Ministry. I just don't feel comfortable there for some reason." Harry said.

"I understand that Harry, I will try everything I can to make it so we don't have to go to the Ministry." Dumbledore replied.

"Doesn't Minerva have a friend in the Department of Family Matters?" Severus asked. Dumbledore nodded, his eyes twinkling in remembrance.

"I believe so. I had completely forgotten about that. I will contact Minerva later on today, and then we will get this done." Dumbledore turned his attention to Harry. "Harry, isn't your birthday coming up?" He asked. Harry looked at him in surprise.

"Er, yeah I think it's next week. Why?" Harry asked perplexed.

"Well, don't you want to have a party with your friends, and family?" Harry looked real surprise at that question.

"I don't know, I've never had a party before so I wouldn't know what to do." He said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, I believe that we will have a little get together for your birthday. You will write Miss Granger, and Mr. Weasley, and whom ever else you wish to invite." Dumbledore said.

"Are you sure? I mean I don't want to be a bother. I was just going to ask if I could go to Hogsmeade for my birthday." Harry said, a blush creeping its way up to his face. Severus shook his head.

"You wouldn't have been able to go anyways Harry, not with the Dark Lords followers free." He said. "And as for you being a bother, I probably would have felt that way before I found out that your relatives liked to use you as a human punching bag. And there's the fact that you are my son, so I will be sure to have a word with the Dursleys. Unfortunately, they were gone when we went to get your belongings." Snape added.

"I don't want you to get in trouble for something you couldn't control, besides it's done and over with. Nothing we do can change it. Unless you happen to have a time turner on you." Harry said waving his threat away. "I'm going to go write those letters now, umm Professor Snape, can I tell my friends about this? Or would you rather I keep it a secret?" he asked, walking to the door, and pausing to ask.

"You may tell them Harry, and while schools out you may call me Severus." Severus replied. Harry gave a small smile, nodded, and walked to his room.

Once there he got out some parchment, a quill, and ink. He sat down at th desk in his room, filled his quill with ink, and began to write. He figured he would write to Hermione first, seeing as she was the easiest one to write to.

Hermione,

I have some huge news. I am currently at Hogwarts right now. I won't tell you why until I see you incase this is intercepted. I have been here for a week or so, I've been living in Snape's quarters. Yes, I am telling the truth. Surprisingly we have been getting along good. I bet your pleased at that. You can now rest assured that I won't be making any rude, or obnoxious comments about him anymore. But the reason I am writing you, not just to tell you where I've been, Professor Snape, and I found out some interesting news. Him and I are related. He is actually my father. ( I know Star Wars moment there) We just found out today. Also, Professor Dumbledore insists that I have a party next week for my birthday. I don't know why. It's just another day out of the year. Well, I had better start writing a letter to Ron.

Hope to see you soon,

Harry.

Harry reread his letter over, and after determing it was satisfactory, he put it in an envelope, and started another letter to Ron. How am I going to tell him, without him flipping out? This isn't going to be easy. He thought, as he dipped his quill into the ink, and began to write.

Ron,

How's it going mate? I hope your summer is going well. Mine is okay. I am writing to tell you that I am no longer staying at the Dursley's. I am at Hogwarts for the remainder of the summer. I will tell you why when I see you, incase this letter gets intercepted. I am also writing to tell you that Professor Snape and I have found out some rather surprising news: he is my Father. I am not kidding, so please don't call me insane, mental, or tell me to go get my brain checked for the Confundus Charm or Essence of Insanity. Oh, and Professor Dumbledore is insisting that I have a party next week for my birthday. I don't know why. Well I better get yours, and Hermione's letter off with Hedwig.

Hope to see you soon,

Harry

Harry reread Ron's letter several times. After deeming it satisfactory, he walked to the Owlery, and gave Ron and Hermione's letter to Hedwig, who took off immediately. When he walked back to the Entrance Hall, he suddenly felt this urge of some sort to go to the Chamber of Secrets. Thats weird, it's almost as if it's pulling me. Harry thought as he made his way to the Chamber. Before he could get to it however his scar started searing in pain, Harry keeled over, and all of a sudden the world went black.


AN: YES I AM FINISHED WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER!! AND TO TOP THIS OFF SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER! I AM OFFICIALY A SENIOR NOW. Okay with that said, I want to ask you guys if Ron should be okay with Snape's being Harry's dad, or if he should be a drama queen. And if you have any suggestions, Leave them in a review, and I will be more than happy to read them. (Mrs. Snape has left the building!)
