A/N: All right I decided to start writing the sequal to Unknown Father. Aren't you all happy?! But neways, I suggest that if you're just now coming across my writing that you read HP and the Unsuspecting Savior and The Unknown Father before you read this or this will make absolutely no sense. Okay, it might make a little but don't say you weren't warned. Now for those of you who haven't figured it out yet, I'm a fan of "Harry Torture" as I saw somebody so eloquently put it so don't be surprised if Harry gets sick or hurt a lot and I do mean A LOT in this fic. I can't help it, it's my natural instinct so please don't flame me for it. If you do not like that sort of thing then I suggest you not read this fic. If you have a weak stomach or the thought of people, especially Harry getting grievously injured really grosses you out then I suggest you not read this or any of my other fics but Thoughts of a Spy. Now that that's all done I'll get on with writing the opening chapter. I'm going to pick up right where I left off at the end of UF so that's all folks and ENJOY!!!!!

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!!!!! The only things I own are a ton of scripts, music books, textbooks, instruments, costumes and makeup so DON'T SUE!! The only thing I really do own is Lei who I'm not sure will even be in this story since it'll only be for the summer holidays but, if she is, she's mine but that's it!

Chapter 1 (oh God here we go)

Harry and Draco went down to their father's rooms where they gathered up their luggage and familiars and made their way up to the Great Hall where they flooed to Snape Manor.

Harry and Draco landed with a thud on a plush maroon carpet that was set on top of a white marble hearth of the fireplace they had just come out of. Harry had moved out of the way just in time for Draco to come through and Draco moved just in time for Severus to come through.

Only after the 3 Snapes had dusted themselves off did Harry and Draco get a good look around. Harry's jaw dropped. The room was huge and gorgeous. Draco wasn't as dumbstruck because he had been raised in fairly similar circumstances but he couldn't contain the slight look of awe in his eyes.

They had landed in what appeared to be a study. Directly across the room from the fireplace was a large mahogany desk with a matching chair that was padded with the rug's color in velvet. There were 2 large bay windows to their right that had silver sheer curtains. There were 2 armchairs that looked a lot like the armchairs in the Gryffindor Common Room, Harry reflected, set in front and to the side of the fireplace with small round tables set next to them. The room held potted plants in front of both windows and in 2 of the corners behind the desk.

Severus led the boys out of the room and into a hallway. They had landed at the beginning of the entrance hall. Severus beckoned to his sons and they went up a large carpeted staircase that went up in a box spiral design. He stopped outside the first door on the left once he got to the top of the staircase. He opened the door and said,

"Harry this is your room just drop your trunk and Hedwig inside I need to show you both the rest of the manor."

Harry nodded and did as he was told. After Harry came back out Severus walked across the wide hall and opened the door directly across from Harry's and said,

"Draco this is your room, just drop your trunk inside."

Draco did as he was told and they continued down the hall. They passed 5 more rooms on both sides before they reached a pair of french oak doors. Severus stopped and said,

"This is my room and you two are not allowed to come in here unless you are looking for me and it is important. All right?"

Severus turned and led the boys back to the end of the hallway then proceeded to ascend a staircase that neither boy had noticed before. He came to a door and said,

"In here is the owlery and falconry. Harry you may keep Hedwig here or in your room, whichever you decide is completely fine by me. There's also a cabinet in there that stores quills, ink and parchment just in case."

Harry and Draco both nodded and they went back down to the main entrance hall. The floor of the hall itself was a rich maple wood that had been highly polished. Portraits of Severus' extended relatives hung on the rich paneled walls. There were a couple of small tables that had expensive looking vases with fresh summer flowers in them. In a room behind the staircase there was a lounge handsomely furnished in deep brown leather couches and chairs dispersed through the room. Lush green potted plants were scattered around the room and a portrait of who could only be Severus' father, hung over the white marble fireplace. There was a cabinet set to the left of the fireplace that could only be assumed was filled with liquor and a table with a cigar box with the Snape family coat of arms stamped onto the cover on a table to the right.

Severus motioned to the boys and continued down the hallway. Across from the lounge was a sitting room that was furnished in light blues, yellows, reds and greens. The walls were adorned with old portraits of people on horses and hunting and such. There were 2 couches facing each other and high backed cushioned armchairs arranged in groups of 2 that were in the corners of the room by the windows. The curtains were sheer white and let the ample sun in. There was a large brown baby grand piano. This room was accessed by sliding doors that were hidden in panels in the walls and met in the middle.

Severus came to the end of the hallway that forked off perpendicularly to the right and left. The wall directly in front of them held a portrait of Severus and his parents when Severus was obviously quite young, no older than 8 years old. Here is where Severus stopped and said,

"Now, to the right you will find the breakfast room, main dining room, the kitchens and the house elves quarters. The breakfast room is the first door on your left. The dining room is further down the hall from the breakfast room and is the first door on your right. The door after the dining room is the kitchens. Breakfast is served at 8 o'clock in the breakfast room, lunch is in the kitchens at 12:30 and dinner is at 5:30 in the dining room. The house elves quarters are down the hall from the kitchen. The rooms after the kitchen are all for storage and other orderly functions so there is no need to go into any rooms except the of the three rooms I have already named. Understood?"

Both boys nodded and Severus started to walk down the hall. He pointed out the smoking room, a library that Hermione would kill to get her hands on. There was a music room stocked with almost every western European and American instrument with music to go with them, ranging from beginner to very advanced. The music was housed on handsome bookshelves that were all labeled and categorized according to instrument, composer and difficulty. The entire feel of the room was very open and airy with large windows and light colors to bring out the richness of wood and brass of the instruments. They walked along a beautiful part of the hallway where it seemed that the whole thing was one huge window with chairs, lounges and plants spread out clearly meant to enjoy the sun from the indoors.

Harry and Draco looked through the window and saw a beautiful garden and an outdoor pool with a slide and low and high dive. After the boys were done drooling over that Severus came to the end of the hall and opened a door. He paused and said,

"All right, now that you've seen the main level we'll go below so you can see the rest."

Harry and Draco gaped and Harry said,

"You mean there's more?"

Severus smirked and said,

"Oh yes, you've only seen about half of what's in the entire manor."

The boys nodded and followed their father down the stairs which was a backwards version of the staircase leading up to the second floor of the manor. Severus came to the first door, which he opened to reveal a room full of personal work out equipment. The room was very large and Harry and Draco also noticed that there were fencing foils and outfits for the sport.

Severus closed the door and walked across the hall where Draco and Harry were astounded to find a room full of muggle electronic entertainment devices. There was a 37" television with a DVD player and VCR hooked up to it and literally hundreds of movies to pick from. In front of that huge television was a very comfortable and squishy looking forest green couch with large pillows thrown on it. There were also bean bag chairs, much to Harry's amusement, thrown around the room. There was also a CD, Record and Tape player with hundreds of groups and styles to pick from. Never in Harry's entire life would he think that Severus Snape would have anything muggle. Severus saw his son's gaping and said,

"You like it then?"

"I never figured you to have anything muggle."

"Well you're wrong, my mother was very fond of muggles, none too much like Mr. Weasley. She was fascinated by their technology and she had this room done because she was particularly interested in their television, movies and music. Especially American comedy and drama. I used to use this room when I was younger, there's a sattelite dish that allows you to watch some television channels from America as well. Some of their shows are rather good."

Harry chuckled and Draco snorted then Severus motioned for them to continue down the hall. The next room he came to was a room full of almost any kind of potion imaginable. There were mostly healing potions but there were others. After that they came to Severus' personal laboratory. When he stepped inside he said,

"Now boys, as much as I would love for you to brew your own potions in here I want you to not come in here without me. I do research and I am always trying out new things and the results could be ghastly if something goes wrong. So no coming in here unless I'm in here or you're with me. All right?"

Harry and Draco furiously nodded and Severus continued down the hall. At the next room they came to it was shown to be an infirmary of sorts.

Harry was especially surprised to see a large storage cabinet with muggle medical implements. Harry noticed with a shudder that his father even had a supply of iv needles and bags. There was also 2 large tanks that looked like were oxygen tanks. In the middle of the room was a table and then there were some pieces of equipment that were obviously for Harry's physical therapy and rehabilitation for after the surgery. Severus saw the look on Harry's face and said,

"My mother was a mediwitch and was also certified as a muggle nurse."

Harry and Draco nodded and followed Severus who came to another door and said,

"In here is my personal wine cellar. You are not to go in here. Is that understood?"

Harry and Draco nodded and said,

"Yes Sir."

"Good. Follow me, it's time to go look at the grounds." Severus said and he turned around and walked back to the stairs leading to the first floor. They came up there and went back to the entrance hall.

Both boys' eyes widened and followed their father down to the main entrance hall and out the front double French doors. The doors were ornately carved in a vine and leaf motif. Severus closed the doors and turned right to walk around the wide expanse of the house.

They came around to the back and Harry and Draco saw stables and a riding ring complete with equestrian jumping rails. Severus kept walking and the boys followed. Once they stepped inside the stable they were met with the sweet smell of fresh hay and horses.

Severus motioned for the boys to follow and came to the first of 6 stalls. The horse came up to the door and accepted the sugar cubes that Severus held out in his hand. The horse was a beautiful palomino. Severus rubbed the horses head between its eyes and said,

"This is Lady and as you can see she's very nice. She loves sugar cubes and is very easy going when it comes to obeying commands."

Severus went down and introduced the rest of the horses. There were 2 more palominos like Lady and their names were Nightshade and Lightning. There were 2 chestnut horses whose names were Royal and Sugar. The last horse was a black horse with a white spot between its eyes and 3 white hooves whose name was simply Black. Severus told the boys that if they didn't know how to ride and wanted to learn that he would teach them. If they did want to ride then they could but only during the day and as long as Severus knew that they were doing that.

The 3 Snapes left the stable and walked further along behind the house. What Harry and Draco saw next made their eyes bug out. There was an entire practice quidditch pitch. Severus smirked when he saw his son's reactions and said,

"Yes you can use it whenever you want except at night and if I know you're going to be there. I dare say you'll make just a good of use of it as I did when I was your age."

Both boys were in too much shock until their father loudly cleared his throat and said,

"Now come on, it's time for lunch."

Both boys nodded and they went back inside the manor and ate a delightful lunch served by energetic and, surprisingly articulate, house elves. After lunch Severus sent the boys upstairs to unpack and get settled into their new rooms.

A/N: I hope that first chapter was good I personally think it is if I do say so myself. Now leave me a review and don't worry for all you people who are anxious about Harry's surgery that'll be in the latest chapter 3 so chill out and don't get your "panties in a twist" in the wise words of Hheath Lledger in 10 things I hate about you. So push that little button and tell me what you think but those of you who've stuck with me this long know that I don't like flames and that they will be used to fuel my fire to roast marshmallows for s'mores over. TTFN!!!!

Beta's Note: if any mistakes are to be found in this chapter then it is my fault. We delayed Christmas by 24 hours and as a result I am slightly tipsy.
