The next day Harry woke up with the thought of that maybe Sirius was right, maybe calling Severus dad was not fair to James who had died to protect him and Minnie. That thought was running through Harry's mind all that day.

"Harry what is bugging you? You have been quiet all day." Lily asked.

"About what Uncle Sirius said about me and Severus.."

"Do not listen to what he said. He was out of line yesterday." Severus interrupted.

"Let me talk. When he said that Severus was not my father and that I should not call him dad. What if he was right I mean dad did die for Minnie and I so why should I disrespect him by calling someone else dad?" Harry looked at his mother.

"Really so you think that what he said is true?" Severus asked his face was getting angry.

"Maybe, I mean you are not my father and my father was not to big on you. So don't you think that calling you dad is not right." "I think no such thing. I am the one who raised you and if you call me dad there should be nothing wrong with that. So stop sounding so ungrateful." Severus snapped.

"I am not ungrateful, but really you are not my father!" Harry yelled.

"Ok no need for yelling Harry. Daddy is your dad if you look at it he has been there for you for a long time. So it is only right." Minnie interrupted before things got to out of control.

"So what you guys are saying that I should call him dad and forget that my father is dead. Is that what you guys are implying?" Harry looked at the two of them sitting on the chair.

"No Harry why are you being like this?" Severus asked

"Like what?" Harry was getting more angry.

"Like what I have done for you over the years does not matter at all."

"Maybe it doesn't. Like Uncle Sirius said you are probably the one that had my father killed so that you could have my mother all to yourself. Look it worked she married you, but now you are also trying to take his son that is not right." Harry turned to walk away.

"Harry James Potter you are grounded for the rest of the summer, no owl posts, no visiting Ron and no leaving the house. Do you hear me young man." Severus yelled at him.

Harry just gave him a dirty look and walked up to his bedroom.

"So does this mean that Harry is not calling you dad anymore." Minnie asked.

"No baby, Harry is just mad I am sure he will come around." Lily smiled at her.

"Lily why did you just stand there and not but in or something?" Severus asked her.

"I had no idea what to say to make either one of you calm down. You handled it fine." Lily smiled at him and went over to grab his hand, he pulled away.

"You have to start being the bad guy to the children sometimes and not just leave it up to me to punish the children all the time." Severus shook his head.

Minnie was heading upstairs to her bedroom, as she was walking by Harry's room she seen that Harry was packing his things.

"Harry what in the good name are you doing?"

"What does it look like I am doing Minnie, you tell me. You are the smart one after all."

"Your running away. Where will you go? Harry this is not a good idea." Minnie sat on his bed.

"I wasn't asking for your opinion. I am doing this and you will not stop me. You are to help me pack, or leave. Get it."

"Yeah I hear you, but where are you going?"

"I am going to go to Uncle Sirius's house I will stay with him he will let me." Harry was grabbing his things and packing them away.

"Why to him, he is mean and not very kind. So if you leave I will go and tell mom and Daddy. It will not be smart." Minnie stood up to leave.

"If you tell them Minnie. I will tell mom and Severus that you sneak out of the house at night to go and see Draco. I bet that they will not be to big on that, because I know what you two do. Snogging, Snogging and more Snogging." Harry smiled at her.

"You are being a Git, you do realize that. I also want to know how you know about Draco and I." Minnie was angry.

"Well I am up at night sometimes when I can't sleep and I hear you sneaking out. So one night I followed you and I watched you the whole night. I guess it comes in handy, because now I can use it against you. So if you tell I tell and if they find out where I am I will tell on you again." Harry continued packing.

"You know how much I hate you Harry. You followed me and Draco that is not even cool. How could you. You have no worry about me telling on you because I am not going to miss you, I am happy that you are not going to be here. Now mom Daddy and I can be a real family without you. You might want to hide that suitcase because mom is coming." She smiled and walked away.

"So what is going on in here?" Lily smiled at the children that were giving each other dirty looks.

"Nothing I am going through my cloths and giving them to little children who need them. Harry smiled at her, Minnie rolled her eyes behind Lily.

"Oh that is very kind of you. You know what tho it is bedtime, I am tucking you guys into night. Severus is not home right now, he went for a walk." Lily went over to Harry's bed and helped him clean it off.

Minnie went into her room and was waiting for Lily to come in. She sat there and wondered if she told her secret and then told Harry's if it would be a lot more simpler on her behalf. Lily walked in the room with a smile on her face.

"Mom where did Daddy go exactly?" Minnie looked up at her.

"Minnie we had a little fight, and he went for a little walk to clam down. It is for the best." Lily started to tuck her in.

" Are you guys going to stay together? I mean it would be hard if you two broke up. Where will Harry and I go? With you or Daddy?" Minnie had tears in her eyes.

"Do not worry about that Minnie. We are just having a fight, couples have fights all the time. We will work it all out. You and Harry do not have to worry about anything." Lily kissed her on the head.

"Ok, I won't. Good-night, see you in the morning." Minnie smiled and turned away.

The night went on and Minnie could not get to sleep. She was lying there staring at the ceiling and thinking to herself. When she was almost asleep her father came into the bedroom.

"Minerva, where is Harry? Do you know where he is?" Severus sat on the side of her bed.

"I don't know." She replied.

"You are lying. When your mother went up to put you and Harry in bed that is what you two were talking about wasn't it? He was telling you that he was running away." "Ummmm… Well I said that I wouldn't say anything. If I do he will tell my secret and I do not want anyone to know." She started to cry.

"Minnie what is wrong? What is Harry holding over you?" Severus voice was more angry.

"Well all this summer I have been sneaking out of the house to see Draco." She looked at her father.

"You have been what? I can't believe you. I told you that Draco is not good for you." Severus seen the sadness in his daughter's eyes.

"Daddy I love Draco, just like you love Mom, me and Harry. I am sorry but I will not stop seeing him for anyone."

"Ok now that I know what Harry was hanging over you. Where did he go. Minnie you need to tell me before he gets hurt. You know what is out there, and he will go after him. So baby please tell me." Severus grabbed her hand.

"Ok he went to Uncle Sirius's house to stay with him. Daddy do you really think that Lord Voldermort will get Harry." Minnie had worry in her eyes.

"Minnie baby we will find him I promise I will make sure of it." He gave he hug and kissed her head.

"Ok. Can I help find him?" Minnie sat up.

"No you stay here ok. We don't know if he made it to Sirius's yet. We get in contact with Sirius to see of he has arrived there yet, and go from there. Ok now you get some sleep." Severus tucked her back into bed.

Severus went downstairs and seen Lily sitting there with tears in her eyes.

"So he ran away didn't he?" Lily looked over at Severus.

"Yes Minnie said that he was going to go to Sirius's house. You get a hold of him and see if he got there. If he did we will go and pick him up tomorrow. We have to make sure he is safe." Severus kissed her. "Lily it will be ok."

Lily put her face into the fire and she was in Sirius's living room.

"Sirius! Sirius!" Lily shouted.

He came running into the sitting room

"What do you want?" He snapped.

"Is Harry there?" She asked.

"No he is not here. Why do you ask?"

"Well that little stunt you pulled the other day got Harry all worked up. It started a fight between Harry and Severus, and Harry got grounded. So he ran away, he told Minnie that he was coming to your house." Lily was panicking.

"Well I will go and look for him, if I find him I will let you know." The rest of the night was an ongoing search for Harry. The adults in his life were unaware that he was found, but not who they wanted him to be found by.

As Harry laid there on the cold floor, and opened his eyes. He seen the face of the woman that he hated. She had a great big grin on her face.

"Harry Potter we have you. Now we just have to get a hold of Minerva. I think that she will be a lot harder to get, she is a lot smarter then you." Bellatrix laughed a pitchy laugh.
