Chapter Four-What Should I do Severus walked through the doors to the Great Hall, all students talking around him. Walking towards the Gryffindor's table he looked at Harry and Emily who were sitting across from one another.
"Potter," his tone serious, the tone however, did not reach his eyes as he gazed upon his son. Harry looked up and for the first time saw love in his father's eyes.
"Yes Professor," Harry said.
"I'd like to see you before class," he said, eyeing his daughter, who seemed almost afraid of him. Harry looked over at her and back at him.
"Yes sir," he said. With a nod Severus walked off. Harry watched him and sighed, part of him was still trying to fathom that he had a father. Then something struck him, how was he to tell Sirius, what would he do. From what Snape, no his father, had told him the only people that knew were Professor Lupin, Professor Leanne, James, and Professor Dumbledore. Sirius had hated Severus Snape, and Harry had the feeling that Sirius would be none to happy about this new discovery. Sighing he made a mental note to talk to Professor Lupin about what he should tell his God-father.
~~~~~~
Harry ran quickly to his Potion's class. He was only going to be able to talk to his father for a few minutes before class started. He burst through the door, only to find Severus grading papers as he looked up he smiled slightly.
"Your mother wasn't very good at being prompt either," Harry sighed and approached him.
"Sorry," he whispered. Nodding Severus looked at him.
"I want you to be there when I tell your sister tonight. I'm going to give you both a detention for eight in my classroom. Leanne will be here as well. The truth is going to come out Harry, and I need you there to help me. Will you please be there?"
"Sure, hey dad, um, well okay, I've got a problem."
"What?" He asked.
"It's about my God-father."
"I'm not the person you should be speaking to about this. You really should talk to Professor Lupin, your God-father and I never got along. In fact he was often the one plotting against me," Snape whispered.
"Dad, you weren't very popular when you were young were you?"
"Ha, are you kidding, until James and I finally got on good terms, we hated one another. I was probably the most hated person in the school. Your mother, and Leanne cared about me, but that was about it for a long time."
"I wish I was unpopular, truth is the only thing they really see is the hero in their minds. I didn't stop Voldermort, or kill him, I just got lucky," Harry whispered. Severus smiled and gently touched his son's shoulder. Harry looked at him, green looking in black.
"Someday Harry, we'll try and get you a normal life." Harry smiled slightly.
"You're a lot cooler when you're not around the Slytherin," Severus smiled softly at this.
"Thanks kid, now take a seat," he said. Harry nodded and sat down at his seat, seconds later students began to file in. Severus instantly snapped into his attitude of a Death Eater and began class. He was lucky when he found a way to give Emily a detention, as well as Harry. Harry rarely screwed up an assignment, so Severus instantly figured it was because he knew Severus would need a reason to give them a detention.
"Bryant, Potter, detention, at eight for screwing up your assignment," He said annoyed.
Harry, and his friends slowly walked out of the class room, Harry sighed, now would be a good time to go find Lupin.
"Hey guys, I'm going to take a walk, I'll meet you for Lunch in the Great Hall," he said. Ron smiled and together he and the others went back to the dorms. Harry quickly hurried to Lupin's class room.
Remus Lupin was sitting in his class, writing something on a long piece of parchment, his class empty and brightly lit. Harry sighed, although he was sure the man was busy he really needed to talk to him. He cleared his throat to attract Lupin's attention.
Lupin looked up and smiled slightly, pleased to see one of his favorite students standing in the doorway.
"Hello Harry, how are you?" He asked.
"I need to talk to you," Harry said. Lupin nodded and backed away from his desk.
"Let's take a walk, it's a little chilly in here," he said. Harry knew that Lupin wasn't big on being inside at all times. Together the two men headed out to the lake.
"Professor Snape, dad, told me. Everything. How did you find out?" He asked quietly.
"Lily was never very good at keep secrets from me, originally she wanted to only tell Leanne, and James. Severus quickly told her that Albus was to be told, for safety reason. She then insisted upon me knowing. Your mother and I were as close as could be. I loved her like a sister. She and I talked for a long time before you were born, originally I was going to be your God-father, but I wasn't her choice or James at that point, Sirius was."
"How will I tell him?" Harry asked.
"Harry, I'm afraid I really can't tell you the answer to that. You found something that your heart has always longed for; on the other hand you are also stuck with the choice of who you want to live with. Harry look at me," Lupin said as he stopped in front of Harry. The boy looked up at his teacher and friend, Lupin placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and bent down slightly, gazing into his emerald green eyes.
"Harry, tell me, how did you feel two days ago, before knowing you actually had a family?" Harry looked down at the ground and shrugged.
"I dunno, alone, sad, like I had no purpose in the world. I mean sure people called me The-Boy-Who-Lived, but there were times I felt I should have been the boy who died. There were days I wish my parents had lived and I hadn't." He said, tears forming in his eyes. Taking a step towards Harry, Lupin wrapped his arms around the fifteen year old boy.
"Harry, son, don't ever feel that way. So many people do love you for who you are, not what you stand for. Now tell me how you feel, or how you felt when Severus told you the truth."
"I dunno, I was sorta feeling betrayed, scared, but at the same time happy, I had a reason for being here, I had a reason to live. I had this man, who was telling me that he never really hated me. Here was this man who for fifteen years had simply been trying to protect me, but when he discovered a truth he never even knew, and suddenly he wanted to protect me even more, wanted to be there. I have a dad, a father, a daddy who loves me, and for once I feel happy about being The-Boy-Who-Lived. For a fleeting moment I was so sure everything would be okay. I thought that all of this was some bad dream, and I had this loving father," Harry began to sob against Remus' shoulder. Remus gently lifted the boy into his arms, as though he weighed nothing and walked towards a tree, where he sat down on the grass and just held the skinny boy in his arms.
"Is it possible to admit that I think I knew it all along," Harry sobbed. Remus smiled, gently running a hand through Harry's hair he shook his head and spoke.
"It wouldn't surprise me, if somewhere deep down inside you truly did know. Severus never stopped loving you Harry, part of him knew all along, but on the other hand part of him was just so afraid to show you the love." Remus continued to hold Harry in his arms, until the boy finally began to calm down and took a deep breath. He suddenly blushed.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
"Don't be, Harry telling Sirius will not be simple, but let me tell you something. No matter how you tell him and no matter how he reacts, you will have dozens backing you up. The first one being your dad. Have you told him you love him yet?" Harry looked at Lupin, and realized he hadn't.
"No,"
"I'm not going to push you, but tell him sometime, and talk to him about how you feel. Believe it or not, but Severus is a great listener." Harry looked at him and nodded.
"Thanks Professor," he whispered. Lupin smiled and patted the boy's back.
"Any time Harry, now off with you, I've got a job to do as well," Harry smiled, together Lupin and Harry headed back to the castle.
