Chapter 3
Harry pulled himself up to his feet. He just stared at Lucius Malfoy standing at the door way. This couldn't be Harry thought. A death eater, here at the Dursley's!
He took an involuntary step backward as Malfoy stepped into the house.
" Father!" said Malfoy again, " w ..what are you doing here?"
" I'm here son, and that's all you need to know and I'm glad I'm here. I don't think I want you killing 'Harry', you'll just spoil it for so many others" Lucius said smiling bitterly.
Harry was recovering from his shock.
" where's Snape?" he asked. At least he knew that Snape wasn't on the dark side.
" Snape, Harry? He's gone for a meeting.. let us say.. with his 'boss'" he said mildly.
Oh god. Harry thought in despair. Dumbledore said I will be safer here than anywhere else! And now, a death eater at my door step!
" what are you doing here?" asked harry, feeling less brave than he sounded.
" well, Potter, I'm just checking up on my son, he was taken away against my will"
" father, I don't think you should be here" said Malfoy, " it isn't safe"
" Draco, they don't have any proof of me being a death eater" he said calmly.
Strange, he should talk so calmly about being a death eater when Harry was right there.
" but, still father..." Malfoy said throwing a furtive glance at Harry.
" don't worry Draco, I don't think Potter will say anything.... will you Potter?" he asked in a mild voice, as if he didn't really care.
Harry didn't bother to answer. His scar wasn't burning, that meant that Voldemort wasn't anywhere near here.
Thank god, harry thought, but Malfoy was just as dangerous.
" don't worry, Potter, I'm not here to kill you.." Malfoy said, But harry thought he distinctly heard him say.. "yet"
" father.. Snape said he'll be back in half an hour"
" what are you so scared off Draco?"
" I.. I " Draco didn't complete his sentence because the next moment Harry heard a very angry voice.
" Malfoy! What are you doing here!" hissed Snape. Harry could see Malfoy doing some very fast thinking, then he smirked and disappeared with a small pop.
" Draco are you all right?" asked Snape, not bothering to look at Harry.
" yes, I'm all right Severus, really I wasn't going to go with him" said Malfoy.
Snape gave him a severe look and then turned to Harry. His eye's swivelled to the wand Harry was holding.
" what do you have that for Potter?"
" uhhh. I just like keeping it with me"
" I see, I see" he said smirking. " you weren't planning to use it were you?"
" no" Harry said.
" I see" he said in a sceptical tone, " Draco where did you get that bruise from?" Snape asked curiously. Harry could tell that Snape already knew the answer.
" Potter hit me"
" did you Potter?" Snape asked.
" Draco started it" said Harry defensively.
" I don't care who started it, you hit him didn't you"
" but he gave me a bloody nose!"
" I don't see any blood on your face Potter"
" but.. but" Harry stopped. What could Snape do? This wasn't school. No detentions, no points.. nothing.. except Snape's unbearable sarcasm..... which was worse.
" but, Potter?" said Snape sneering.
" nothing" he muttered under his breath.
" good, now apologise"
" what!" harry said incredulously.
" don't raise your voice at me Potter"
" but Malfoy is the one who started it! It wasn't me!"
" APOLOGISE" yelled Snape.
Harry opened his mouth to say something. But he couldn't think of anything to say. Malfoy was smiling in a cheery fashion and was looking at him expectantly. There was no way he was going to apologise for something he didn't start. Snape was glaring at him murderously. There was no Ron or Hermione to support him now. One against two. A losing battle.
" I will not apologise for something I didn't even start" said Harry, awed at his own courage. With this he left Snape, and ran to his room. He had to write to Ron and Hermione.

Harry jerked awake, plagued by his usual nightmares. He knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep this night. Taking full advantage of the Dursley's absence, Harry decided to have a midnight snack. He tip toed down the stairs and headed for the kitchen. After raiding the ladder, he started to tip toe back upstairs when he heard a few muffled sounds. Harry stopped for a moment. It seemed as though some people were having a conversation. At this time of the night?
Curiosity burning inside him, his feet padded to the guest room, where Snape had taken residence. He stopped outside the door, his mind making up all sorts of things that might be taking place inside. He ruled out Voldemort because his scar was normal, it could be a death eater. He opened the door just a crack, and he was able to see the two people inside.
They were Draco Malfoy and Snape. Why would they want to talk in the middle of the night? They had the whole day to talk. He listened attentively when he heard his name.
" really, I don't know what I'll do! I cant stand being cooped up here with Potter" Malfoy said in exasperated voice.
" you have to show some patience Draco, just like me"
" but you're out half the time, you don't know what it's like"
" don't argue with me"
" sorry, dad"
dad?? Harry thought in shock. Dad? How could Snape be Malfoy's father? Maybe he had just heard something wrong. He strained his ears to here more.
" it's not safe calling me that, you will not, and I mean 'never' talk about that again, even if we are alone"
" but, why do I have to hide form the truth? I know about you and my mother.."
" Draco! Didn't you hear me? I said, 'never' to mention that ever again"
Harry listened some more, numb with shock. There was no mistaking it. Draco had just called Snape his father, and it sounded as if Snape wanted to hide it!
Maybe it was Lucius in there, nope he sounded too much like Snape. Or maybe Lucius had drunk Polyjiuce Potion. Yeah that's it, Harry thought. Polyjiuce Potion
but it sounded to much like Snape, the way he talked, the same tone. It had to be Snape. But how could have Naricssa Malfoy had an affair with Severus Snape? Draco looked too much like his father. With trembling hands, Harry strained his ears to hear more.
" you can't hide from it for ever..da. I mean Severus."
" I'll hide form it as long as I can.. do you know what you're father will do if he finds out? He will most probably kill your mother, you and me"
" you're right... but he'll find out one day"
" look, the last thing I want is for you or your mother to get hurt.. do you understand me? So never talk about this again. Specially with the nosy Potter around."
" you're right" said Draco, the amusement in his voice clear. " Severus, if Potter does find out, what will we do?"
" burn him on a stake" said Snape dreamily, the amusement in his voice too was clear to read.
" wishful thinking Severus, wishful thinking" muttered Draco, " do you know how much I would love to kill Potter?"
" not as much as me" said Snape
" tell me, why do you hate him so much?"
" it was because of his father at first, but after depriving me of the order of Merlin , and saving the school more than once, it just grew."
" is it only because of that?"
" no, I hate his attitude and his overwhelming desire to poke into other people's business.... aren't I right Potter?" Snape called nastily.
