Harry was sitting in the common room the night the announcement had been made. Nobody had tried to talk to him after the feast. He looked up from the book on quidditch t see Snape walk through the portrait hole. He was surprised at first but remembered that he was head of Slytherin and was perfectly entitled to be in his own houses common room. He looked about and smirked as his Slytherin's started talking to him. It was not the fact that they talked to him that surprised Harry. It was the fact that he answered them as if they were equals.

When they had all gone their separate ways, he turned in Harry's direction, 'Harry, will you assist me to my office please,' after a moment of thought, he continued. 'I need to give you your new time table.'

Harry put his book down and followed his Professor down the corridor and into a cold dark office that he'd only ever been in once before. He looked around, hardly anything had changed and the things in the jars still gave him a shiver running down his spine. Snape walked from the entrance to the door at the back of the room not even bothering to switch on the lights. By the time Harry had stumbled through the room and through to the other room Snape had already lit the fire and sat down.

'Harry,' he said after a minuet of awuard silence, 'I need to tell you something and I don't want you to freak out when you hear it.'

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

You really expected me to finish it there after all that time. Okay so maybe I will. But the only reason for that is because I need to ask a few people if they want this to turn into a H/S Father/Son fic. So if you have an opinion please review and tell me. I just don't want to spoil this thing as I have 2 really different plots each depending on the choice I make. Don't worry though I do promise an update soon. And tom will be coming back soon too.
