A.N: Well, I got a really nice amount of reviews for the last chapter. But you know what I don't
like? Some of the reviews clearly said 'stupid' or 'still boring'. If you think my story is boring, then why the
hell have you read up to this chapter? It obviously can't be boring if you've stuck around for 35, now 36
chapters! I want CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM here people! I'm fourteen and this is my first fic! If you have a
problem with this story, then stop reading it! Don't even continue reading this Author's Note.

Oh, and Angelis, you're right, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN YOUR FRUSTRATION OUT
ON ME! I uplaod a *lot* more frequently than some other people, so be glad! And I personaly don't care
that you think Snape being Harry's father is nasty. This is my fic, and I'll do what I like in it. You people are
lucky that I've asked for opinions on this story, like the pairings. If I didn't care what my reviewers thought
I would have this story much different.

Now, to you people who I haven't scared away, thank you for sticking with me! This chapter goes
out to all of you! And especially Baasheep - she updated her story! Whooo hoooooo!!!!!!

"Harry, we're going to be late." Snape said the next morning.

Harry paced in the living room, fully dressed in his black Hogwarts robes. He had been pacing
for over a quarter of an hour now, his arms folded across his chest and his eyes cast downwords in
concentration. At his father's statement, Harry stopped and looked up, his shoulders slumped.

"I know, but I don't know what to say! And you know he's going to want me to stay with him and
Remus. How am I supposed to say that I'm staying with you without him knowing?" Harry moaned. Severus
raised an eyebrow.

He was becaoming slightly annoyed that Harry always found a way around from saying "father"
or "his son" and things like that. The closest he got was the night before when Harry had said "us". He
mused that if he was to ask, "He'd know what?", Harry probably wouldn't answer or change the subject.

Harry had started pacing again. Snape grabbed Harry by his shoulders and pushed him out the
door. "Think about it on the way!"

Harry sighed and walked down the halls behind Snape, still nervous about seeing everyone.

****************************

"Okay, now I'm going to go in first and tell the Headmaster that you're here. If you want, I can
have him start a conversation with Sirius so he's distracted when you come in. After a minute or so, you
enter." Snape said as they stood infront of the Great Hall's doors. Harry nodded fervently.

"Okay, that's great." Harry said. Snape pushed the doors open a little before he turned and said,
"Oh, and Harry, try not to give the man a heart attack. He nearly had one when he first saw you." Snape gave
a small smile and walked through.

Harry stood just beyond the doors, his hands shaking. "You can do this...you can do this...." he
said to himself. "You better be able to do this...this is simple compared to defeating Voldemort, and that
was easy enough."

Harry sighed. It was time to go in. He made fists as he closed his eyes, concentrating on his hair,
and face slowly changing from a Snape to a Potter. When he was sure it looked perfect, he put his still
shaking hands on the doors and pushed them open as slowly and quietly as he could. Slipping in, he looked
quickly to the Head table, where everyone was sitting.

Headmaster Dumbledore sat in the middle on the side away from Harry. On his left was Snape and
on his right was an empty seat. Next to Snape was McGonagall and next to her was Aurthur Weasley. Next to
the empty seat was Hermione(Harry smiled) and next to her was Draco. Across from Draco was Ron, and
next to him was Ginny. Sirius sat between Ginny and Remus. Next to Remus was Fred, then George, and next
to George and across from Aurthur was Molly Weasley.

Harry walked slowly torwords the table, and gave a nervous grin when Snape looked up for a
second. Hermione had seen Snape's stare and looked herself. Harry also gave her a smile and put a finger
to his lips and mouthed, Be quiet. Hermione nodded and leaned to Draco's ear, whispering for him not
to say anything. Harry saw Draco nod and kick Ron from under the table. Ron was going to kick him back
when Draco jerked his head Harry's way. Ron turned and gave a wink to Harry before continuing a conver-
sation with Ginny.

Harry walked closer to the table and saw as Snape whispered something to McGanogall. She
gave him a shocked look and nodded, also flashing a very fast look at Harry.

So the only people who didn't know he was in the room was Aurthur, Molly, Fred, George, Remus,
Ginny, and thankfully, Sirius.

Now Harry was only a few feet from Sirius. When he thought everything was going to go fine, Remus
decided to turn around, and looked strait at Harry. Remus's mouth dropped and reminded Harry of Draco
from the day before. Harry quickly stopped and put his index finger to his lips agian, furiously mouthing, Don't
say anything, don't say anything! Remus just continued staring at him for a moment, then gave a small nod, and
with his mouth still hanging open turned away from Harry.

Harry smiled, and feeling very, very lucky, continued to walk up behind Sirius.

Harry almost laughed out as he quickly covered up Sirius's eyes with his hands. Sirius stayed
completely still as Harry laughed a "Guess who." Sirius's shoulder's seemed to have shook as he put
his hands ontop of Harry's and pulled them off his eyes. Harry put his hands back down at his sides, Sirius
still looking ahead. After a few seconds, Sirius turned around extremely quickly, and catching Harry off guard,
grabbed Harry and hugged him tightly.

Siruis didn't say anything as he hugged Harry so tightly he felt as though he was going to break in
half. Harry laughed, trying to breath.

"Sirius! Siruis, you're going to break my ribs, again!"

"And do a better job than those Death Eaters did," Snape sneered from his seat. Harry looked over
Sirius's shoulder and gave him a sneer of his own.

He saw Aurthur, Molly, Fred and George all sitting strait up in their seats, staring completely
shocked at Harry. Harry smiled and gave a small wink. He would have waved, but his arms were stuck at his
sides by Sirius's death grip.

"Sirius," Harry said again. "You can let me go now." Siruis didn't even show that he had heard Harry.
"SURIUS BLACK!" Harry yelled, and Sirius's grip lessened. Sirius let go of Harry and held him out at arm's
length.

Harry frowned to see that Sirius was crying. "Harry," said Sirus. "You did it...I can't believe you did
it." Siruis shook his head. "You're amazing, Harry. You really are."

Harry found that he was crying as well. Harry launched himself at Siruis and hugged him around the
neck. Sirius put his arms around Harry and held him. Their bodies shook as they cried together.

"I was so scared for you," Sirius said as Harry's head was nuzzled in his shoulder. "When I saw you,
after what happened, I thought you were dead. I had blamed Snape for the shape you were in. But then he told
me that you were dying. And I knew that there was still a chance for you. And when you where in the Hospital
Wing, and no one was allowed to see you, I thought that it was over. That you probably wouldn't recover. I told
myself that you'd be fine. But I didn't even believe myself." Harry looked up from Sirius's shoulder and to
Siriu's face. He was looking down at Harry.

"But here you are, Harry, proving me wrong." Sirius gave him a small smile, which Harry returned.

"Well," Harry said quietly, "You can't always be right. Someone had to prove you wrong."

Sirius laughed and nodded. "Go see everyone else." he said. Harry gave Sirius one last hug and
let go....And was immediately surrounded by Weasleys.

Mrs.Weasley was hugging him, Mr.Weasley was shaking his hand vigerousley, Fred and George
were patting him and the back so hard he almost fell over. They were all telling him things at the same time,
so all he got were bits and peices of what they were saying.

"...superb...completely amazing..."

"...name all over the Daily Prophet for months..."

"...bloody Death Eaters finally in Azkaban..."

"...thought you had died..."

"...mum was worried sick..."

"...trails days strait..."

And more surrounded him like ten bands all playing at the same time in the same room. When they
finally sub-sided, he was met with Remus and Professor McGanagoll. Both of them shook his hand and hugged
him, thanking and congratulating him numerous times. When he finally shook them off, he made his way
to his friends.

Hermione was the first to hug him, and whispered in his ear. "Didn't I do this just yesterday?" Harry
laughed as he was then hugged by Ron and Draco. Ron said quietly, "I'm a bad actor," while Draco whispered,
"Well that's one of us," sending an innocent grin at Ron who frowned mock-angrily at him.

And then there was Ginny. She stood up from her chair and walked swiftly to him and gave him a
tight hug.

"You're my hero, Harry." she said, smiling broadly. Harry felt himself smile as well before
he walked over to his chair next to Hermione and across from Sirius. Harry bent over to Hemione and said,

"You aranged this seating, didn't you?" he grined as Hermione blushed a little. He reached under the
table and gave Hermione's hand a small squeeze. "It's perfect." he said.

*******************************************************************************************************************************

A.N: Ginny sucked, Sirius was OOC, and there wasn't enough Severus. Well, that's what I think.

Now, I've decided that the next chapter will either be really long and the last one....or I could make
two chapters and chapter 38 be the last one. What do you want? Leave what you thought of this chapter
and if you want one or two more chapters. And remember people...CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!

And remember to REVIEW, of course.
