Chapter 21: The Riddle House
"Ahhh, Harry so nice of you to join us this morning and your look has changed since I last saw you. You look familiar to me but I can't quite place it." Voldemort said and cackled after. He was very proud of himself.
Harry looked around and say Ginny, she was in a chair tied down, he ran a quick sweep to see that she had been spelled into sleeping but was fine and unharmed. He left her sleeping. He turned and looked back at Voldemort. "Now that you have me here, send her back, you don't need her anymore."
"Oh you are a spoil sport aren't you Mr. Potter. I promise I will send her back after I kill you."
"Don't be so sure of yourself you bastard" Harry was starting to float again. Severus was standing in the shadows where Voldemort had put him. Severus had activated a charm that would lead Dumbledore to where they are.
"Severus do you hear the open defiance in this boy, I think I should teach him a lesson, don't you?" Voldemort was motioning for Severus to come out of the shadows. Harry knew his father was there so it didn't surprise him.
"Father stay out of my way and you won't get hurt, get Ginny out of here NOW!" Harry was in no mood to play around. Voldemort looked at Severus.
"Father, what does he mean calling you father. You didn't tell me anything about this, tell me NOW!"
"Father, go NOW, I will handle this bag of worms, get Ginny to safety, she is fine, just asleep." Harry yelled at his father, getting higher into the air, he was now about 3 feet off the floor and a wind blowing around him that was total magical power. "Better yet, stay and watch the fun" Harry raised a hand and shields went up over Ginny and Severus. "Voldemort, I am sure you know my father, Severus Snape. I will tell you know that it will do no good to try and punish him, he is very well protected as is Ginny. We found out on my birthday that Severus here is my father. Turns out that my mother and he separated when you called him into your service. James Potter was kind enough to call me his son for the short time I was with them. It is your fault I haven't a mother anymore, and until recently I believed you took my father from me as well. But as it turns out you did, only my father is still alive. You will now pay for the crimes against my family." Harry raised a hand and sent Voldemort flying into the chair known as the throne. Ropes grew out of the chair and tied him up. "You will have wished for a dimentors kiss by the time I am done with you, oh mighty dark lord." Harry sneered with as much sarcasm he could muster, which wasn't difficult; he was Severus' son.
Voldemort was for once in his life was truly afraid. Harry could see it in his eyes. Everyone also knew that no one would dare charge Harry with crimes since Voldemort had done everything in his power to destroy Harry several times. Everyone would have a blind eye in this case. He was Harry Potter, the boy who lived. He had to be Harry Potter for just a bit longer, once Voldemort was gone He could be Harry Snape. He so much wanted that.
"You see Voldemort, you have no power when it comes to me, none at all, you may be able to touch me, sure, my mother sacrificed her life to save me, and you now have that protection as well, but you don't have my power, and you never will. You kill with hate, when you die; you will be killed by love. The love I have for my mother, the love I had for Cedric as a friend and fellow student, the love I have for Ginny and the love I have for my father. You have caused a lot of pain but your was caused by hate and anger, it should only be fitting you be killed by love. Say good-bye Voldemort, your time has come." Harry then laid his head back looking straight up at the ceiling. Albus appeared just as he was doing this, he watched very carefully. He then felt a protective shield enclose himself. Harry opened his mouth and a strange song came out, almost like a phoenix song mixed with parseltongue, very calming for those that were protected. The song woke up Ginny, she saw Harry and was scared for him, and she didn't know what was going on, Dumbledore went over to her and laid a hand on her shoulder, which immediately calmed her down. Dumbledore, Ginny and Severus all watched as something happened to Voldemort, it was hard to explain, but an awesome sight to see.
Voldemort passed out right after the song started, then a ghost like image rose out of him and danced around for a minute and then shattered into a million pieces. Voldemort was released from his bindings and levitated for a minute, before he himself exploded. Nagini went over to Harry trying to gain his trust. Harry stopped singing and looked down at the snake. "So going to whomever has the most power are you, be gone with you" He spoke in parseltongue and then the snake was banished. Harry looked around and saw everyone safe and he floated back towards the ground, and landed on the floor safely, Severus barely had time to get to him before he fell to the floor. He caught Harry and hugged him with everything he had.
"Thy deed is done son; you can be free now. Free to live as Harry Snape, just like you wanted. Rest my child, you have earned it." Severus picked up Harry and carried him over to Ginny. Dumbledore was finishing up taking the bindings off of her when Severus got over there. She was fine and walked over to Harry and kissed him on the cheek and whispered in his ear.
"Thank you my love. Let's go get you some rest, you've had a busy morning." With that Dumbledore grabbed Ginny and apparated to Snape Manor, he knew he wasn't going to keep Ginny from Harry. Snape apparated with Harry and once inside, they laid Harry on his bed, and let Ginny rest with him. Everyone trusted them both, they were still in the very early ages of their relationship so nothing was going to happen, plus Harry was too drained.
Albus had fire talked with the Weasleys and let them know everyone was safe and sound and for them to come have Christmas at Snape Manor. Harry wasn't going to be able to travel for a few days and he knew that he would want all his friends there with his family.
Ginny woke up several hours before Harry and slipped out of bed and went downstairs, she was hungry and was greeted by a huge hug from her mother. She had some lunch and told everyone what had happened that morning. About an hour after lunch she was in the library talking and she felt something tugging on her from the inside, she had never felt anything like it before. It was warm and felt safe, but it still worried her, and she told her mom about it. Her mother had an idea of what it was since she had been told of the deepness of Harry's powers. "Ginny, we will follow it, I will go with you just to make sure, but I think I know what it is. I think its Harry calling for you. Severus said that he seemed to regain his powers more quickly when you were around. It should be nothing more then that." With that they went off and sure enough the tugging led them to Harry's room. Ginny smiled at her mom and hugged her and went in to be with Harry. He was still asleep but was mumbling her name. Mrs. Weasley thought it was very endearing and left them in peace. She loved Harry and knew he would never do anything to hurt Ginny in any way. Harry was like a son to her, so he knew the consequences if he did anything to hurt the only Weasley girl. Ginny went and lay down next to Harry and he wrapped his arms around her and smiled as he pulled her to him and she laid her head down on his chest and smiled and went back to sleep. Mrs. Weasley almost cried at how sweet they were to each other, it reminded her of herself and Arthur. Their love was strong and deep, and they could call to each other.
Molly Weasley went downstairs with a tear in her eye of joy, she knew her daughter would be well cared for, for the rest of her life. There was no doubt. Arthur saw his wife and knew instantly what was happening. Severus looked between the two before asking. "Is everything all right Molly?"
"Severus Snape, things couldn't be better, out children are in love with a deep bond. I dare say they will be together for this entire lifetime. That is more then anyone could ask for. Everything is perfect. I have to tell you, I have known Harry for quite some time, he is a perfect gentleman, you should be very proud of your son, and he is an extraordinary human being. He is more then welcome to my home any time of the day or night, and he will be welcomed with open arms when he marries our Ginny."
"You sound quite sure of yourself Molly, not that I wouldn't mind Harry marrying Ginny later on, what makes you sure of their feelings" Severus was a bit confused, not having heard Ginny talking to her mom before they left.
"Severus, before Ginny and I left, she said she felt a tugging at her from inside herself, she said it felt safe and warm. I followed her just in case, and the tugging led to Harry's room Severus, he called to her using a bond. The bond of a deep never ending love. Now Severus, I know you have heard of these bonds, Harry and Ginny have that bond looks like we are going to be a family." Molly walked over and held out her hand to Severus "Welcome to the Family Severus, I hope you enjoy being around the Weasley's"
Mrs. Snape was thrilled to hear this. "Oh Molly, how simply wonderful for then. I couldn't be happier." Jumping up and grabbing Molly into a hug. "Severus, are we waking Harry for dinner? If we are we have a couple of ours to get well acquainted with our future in-laws" Mrs. Snape sat down and called for a house elf to bring Tea and Champaign. Voldemort was gone and their children were in love.
