"Professor Snape?", a soft and kind of shocked voice was noticeable from the entrance to Snapes office.

As soon as the older one understood the voice he turned around

"Mr. Potter.. this is.." behind this black, almost always annoyed eyes Harry could see the shock and embarrassment. Snape tried to sort his hands, while nervously grabbing a little potion from his desk.

Harry still couldn't find word for what he has just seen.

"..mum?", with a shaking breath he led out the word almost with no sound.

"Harry... darling..", she slowly slid down the old, wooden desk where she was sitting a second ago. When her feet touched the ground she secretly fixed her bra and tried to give his son a look of excuse.

It was his fourth year at Hogwarts and Snape was his very well known, and feared teacher in Potion making. The master of the Slytherin House was the most darkest of all his Professors. He wasn't afraid of him, but still got a huge level of respect towards him.

With no other word Harry turned around and rushed into the long huge hallway of the castle.

There was his mother actually snugging his teacher.

A giant question mark formed in his head and his stomach twisted while he stumbled across the stone floor.

"Harry!", his mother ran after him, "Harry wait, please"

The wizard turned around to his red-haired mother. A tall skinny woman with bright green eyes. Her hair was a bit messy, her shirt still not back in place.

"I know.. darling, I know what this looks to you. I really know, but let me explain"

Her face switched to a worried look, as she grabbed his sons arm slightly but Harry twitched a bit.

He could feel his blood rushing in his veins and tears crawling up his eyes.

"H-How?", his throat began to swell, "I-I-I mean dad?"

"Harry.. I am sorry", his mother closed him into her arms. "It is not that easy you know? Dad's gone so long..." she took a deep breath an look down to her 14-Years old son.

"a-and he has been in my life for so long"

"He?" Harry slid back in a rush "HE?!"

"Pssht, Darling please. I know how confusing this must be, but please don't be angry"

Snapes door snapped closed which made Lily look back to where she came from.

Severus stood there in the middle of the corridor. Tall and straight as a stick.

"Potter", his deep rough voice echoed through the hallway.

Surely his attitude was back to normal.

Harry looked to his Professor.

"I hope you know what that means", slowly he made his way to Harry. Lily still stood there in silence

"N-No Sir." Harry's voice went from upset to uncertain.

"You came into my office without permission. Besides it is already bed time by now! 10 points from Gryffindor for your outrageous behavior", Snape looked down to Harry and back up to the wall where he kept his eyes still.

"Severus! Don't be that harsh", Lily looked at him with that certain glince in her eyes. He answered with a little smile at the edge of his mouth.

"Five points from Gryffindor. And now go to bed, Potter", he spoke those words quiet, but with a very strict undertone.

"Go darling! We'll talk tomorrow", Lily gave him a kiss on the forehead.

Unsure if he should go or not the looked to his mother and back to Snape, who moved his eyes directly into his.

"Alright.. okay..", Harry, still confused took his way to his room.
