Chapter 61 **Conversation in the Hospital Wing**
Two days later Harry sat in a chair by his father's bed, Saeln curled around his neck and Flying With the Cannons open in his lap. Hermione had brought him the book and would have stayed with him (it was a Saturday) but said she had something to do in the library.
There was suddenly a moan from the figure in the bed and Harry looked up over the edge of the book, watching to see if his father would go back to sleep or wake.
He woke.
The black eyes opened and blinked. Severus turned his head and saw Harry, a small smile creeping across his face.
"Up already?"
Harry nodded and closed the book, sitting it down on the table by the bed. "Yea. Madam Pomfrey said I should still be in bed for another two days from being cursed so often in the last week but I feel fine. Is that right?"
Severus sighed and closed his eyes. After a moment he said, "They didn't tell you."
"Tell me what?"
No response.
"Dad, what didn't they tell me?"
Severus smiled at his son then sighed again. "This may be a shock to you Harry."
"Shock me."
"Okay. But remember, you asked for it."
Harry waved a hand irritably, a gesture Severus recognized as one of his own. "Yea, yea, yea. C'mon, tell me. What's this big secret?"
"The Snape's are direct descendants of Salazar Slytherin."
"Oh shit . . ."
"Don't curse."
"Sorry. But . . . oh shit . . ."
"Harry . . ."
"Sorry. But . . . well . . . sheesh. How?"
"Ancestor of ours married Salazar's great-granddaughter."
Harry was silent for a moment then said, "Well, that would explain the fact that Parseltongue runs in the family."
Severus blinked then chuckled. "Yes, it would indeed."
"Slytherin's Heirs . . . Damn, so second year . ."
"Let's not go there."
"Okay. But . . . did Voldemort know?"
Severus blinked. "Harry . . . don't tell me . . ."
Harry cast his father a confused look and said, "Don't tell you what?"
"Oh Merlin . . ."
"What?"
"Voldemort's still alive."
"WHAT?!" Harry gaped at his father. "Th – that's impossible. I – I hit him with Avada Kedavra!"
"He nearly hit me with Crucio before we got out of there. He's still alive Harry."
"And even more pissed at us."
"Exactly."
"Oh shit . . ."
"Harry . . ."
"Sorry! But . . . um . . ."
Severus arched an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Well . . . erm . . ."
"Spit it out."
"HermioneandIaresortofgoingoutnow." The sentence came out really fast and Harry flushed darkly.
Severus blinked. "What? Harry, what were you thinking?"
"Hey, I didn't know Voldemort was still alive!"
"Oh Merlin . . ." Severus closed his eyes and sighed. He then said, "We'll have to talk to Albus about this."
"Uh-huh."
"Let's just hope Voldemort doesn't find out anything. Especially not about our lineage."
"That's obvious."
"Yes."
"He'd want us dead."
Severus nodded gravely and Harry sighed, absently stroking Saeln's head.
A/N: URGH! *whacks self over head with frying pan* I still haven't gotten in the explanation on how Voldie survived! Grrrr… Curse myself. I try to write it in but my hands say no! *glares at hands* Okay, NEXT chapter will be the explanation as I intend to have a good, long conversation with Albus, Saerry, Sev, Harry, Sirius, Remus, and perhaps a little Draco. AND I WILL GET THAT BLASTED EXPLANATION OUT! *scowls furiously and threats to curse her hands into oblivion if they don't cooperate* My hands have a mind of their own, I swear…..
