Chapter 10

            Preparations for school to begin once again at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was in full swing by the time Harry work up from his coma. After the "memory recovery" started, Harry lapsed into a coma. When Dumbledore left Harry's mind, he was more confused than when he had been in the odd dichotomous mind that was Harry. Two entities in one mind. Harry's parents were shocked to say the least.

            "Harry?" his mother questioned as she awoke to her husband's nudging. "Is that you? Or is it Harry Potter?"

            "The best way I can answer that is yes, Mum," Harry smiled a bit.

            "Yes? That's not very helpful," his father said, a bit perplexed.

            "I am both Harry Snape and Harry Potter," Harry said simply.

            "So what should we call you?" his mother asked suspiciously.

            "Harry Snape is the best. Harry Potter had a horrible life and would be happy to disappear," Harry said, frowning now.

            "What do you mean? Who is Harry Potter?" Dru asked, finally awakening.

            "Harry Potter was an entity from another dimension. He was from a dimension where Tom Marvolo Riddle was an evil being and tried to kill Harry on multiple occasions. He was the son of Lily Evans and James Potter. The world was a dark place," Harry said simply.

            "Dad was evil? But that means…he wouldn't have been with Mum…" his mother pondered.

            "Was I not a Marauder?" his father queried.

            "No, you were a mean Potions teacher. The Marauders were James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew," he answered.

            "Pettigrew? He died in the Great Revel. He was a Slytherin," Snape growled a bit.

            "The Great Revel?" Harry asked.

            "The Great Revel was a sad time for the world," his mother started.

            "Sad that the world lost some power, but also glad because it god rid of some negative powers in the world," his father continued.

            "Many, many people committed a mass suicide on October 31, 1981 in protest to the treatment of Muggle-born and half-blood wizards. They believed themselves to be superior to them and killed themselves to show that they were," she said.

            "Odd logic, if you ask me," his father commented. "The Malfoys both committed suicide that night. Hence why Drake is a Black now. They took some so-called 'Muggle-loving fools with them'. Molly Weasley was the only one that I knew of. The Weasleys are a wealthy family now. Arthur remarried some pureblood Irish woman with a whole lot of money."

            "Dear, you're rambling," Harry's mother scolded softly.

            "Yes, yes, well, seeing as you're awake, I think we can smuggle you back home for your last night before school," his father said.

            "Tomorrow?" Harry gulped.

            "Come on, it'll be fun!" his father smiled.

            "Let's go already!" Dru whined.

            Harry's parents smiled and his father turned his hospital robes into his normal black robes. The Snape family made their way down to their quarters and all sighed in relief that Madam Pomfrey had not caught them.
