Note: Thanks for review and thanks for reminding me of the "looking like thing". I'm sorry for updating so late. I had been busy the last weeks.

I don't know how many showdowns I'll make. At least two I think. I hope. I can add the next chapters soon. I still have about 15 handwritten pages and it will be more, if I just had the time to write a little more.

Chapter Four- Explaining everything again

"It can't be. I don't even look like him", Harry exclaimed.

"No it can't be", Severus added.

"Believe me. It is true. I put a charm on Harry that he looks like James. Because he was or still is saver when he looks like him. What would other people especially say when they see walking him around looking like you, Severus? The charm is going to wear of when he turns twenty-one" Lily explained to her two men.

Severus was speechless. The boy he hated and had treated like dirt wasn't James Potter's son. It was his son.

Harry didn't know what to think. He always had thought of James Potter being his father. It was one of the things in his life he was sure of. And now his life had turned upside down.

"Please, don't be angry with me." Lily was unsure of the reaction Harry and Severus would have toward her.

"I never could be, Mom", Harry told her and got over to pull her in to a hug.

"Lily, I'm still loving you too much to be angry with you", Snape stated.

Harry looked at his Potions Master confused. Had he actually said that he loved his mother?

"Severus, actually I came down here to ask you, if you mind us staying at Hogwarts. Albus told me you wasn't to pleased with Harry's friend, Hermione, staying here", Lily inquired.

"I don't mind. You can stay in my Dungeons", Snape suggested with a small smile.

Are you a Deatheater?", Harry asked. He was unsure how to call the Potions Master. Dad, Father, Professor, Daddy, Severus, Sir?

Severus shook his head. "I was one the last time. My father made me. I always hated it. I didn't want to kill anyone. Especially Muggle born wizards and witches, because of Lily. You've never known me real, Harry", Snape said. He had no smirk on his face or an evil grin.

Hermione trembled. She didn't want to go to Diagon Alley to buy Floo powder and the other things for school. She was afraid of being killed by a Deatheater.

Hermione was nearly fifteen and she had faced death a few times. But this was different. Her friends, Ron and Harry, weren't around. And the Deatheaters always murder everyone who receives a letter from them.

The Gryffindor girl knew some Deatheaters. Draco Malfoy was one of her worst enemies. She didn't know who was worse Draco or his father Lucius. She hated the Malfoys since the first day she had met them.

She thought about Snape. He was a Deatheater in her eyes. He had always been nice to Draco, although he hadn't given him good marks. Also the teacher with the nicknames 'greasy git', 'hook-nose-head' and simply 'ugghhh' was head of the Slytherin house. Hermione was afraid of Snape. She was afraid of him killing her during her time on Hogwarts.

"Hermione, come on we are going to Diagon Alley", shouted Mr. Granger.

"I'm coming", the girl shouted back.

Half an hour later the Granger family arrived in the Alley. Hermione hoped not to meet any Deatheater.

Severus. Lily and Harry walked up the stairs to the Great Hall to have dinner with the other on Hogwarts staying teachers. Severus arm was around Lily's shoulders. She really liked it to be in his arms. The three got odd looks from the other professors seated around the table. Also Professor Dumbledore gave them one when they entered the Great Hall.

They sat down next to each other and ate in silence. First the other professors and Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper, just stared. Then they also ate in silence.

Dumbledore was the first to speak. "Severus, Lily, Harry can I talk to you in private later?"

"Of course, Albus", Severus answered.

"Sure", Lily said.

Harry just nodded.
