Chapter 8: Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold And Well Planned
After leaving Professor Dumbledore's office the two Slytherins decided to continue their conversation over a meal within Professor Snapes Quarters.
When they entered his quarters Severus, led a thoughtful Harry over to the sette in front of the fireplace and rang for a house-elf to bring them two of whatever was served at dinner.
A couple of minutes later they had enough food to feed twice as many people. As he sat down, Severus noticed his son's lack of enthusiasm and said.
'You have to eat Harry, you are still extremely underweight, almost dangerously so.' Harry looked up at his new-found Father and gave a small smile.
'Alright I'll eat. To tell you the truth I am starving and this meal looks brilliant. Almost seems a shame to eat it, but hey I can't upset the house-elves now can I?' Severus smiled a smile that only his son would ever see and said.
'No, you can't upset the house-elves, they happen to be very sensitive when people don't eat.' Harry grinned at that and dug in to his dinner with gusto
After swallowing a mouthful Harry stated.
'Sounds like your talking from experience, Father' Severus looked at his son in shock at how easily he had accepted that they were Father and Son. Harry continued
'Don't look so shocked, you have treated me like a son ever since I came to Hogwarts and I am already in your custody. So it made it easier to adjust to having a Father who is not dead but alive and well.' Severus looked both proud and then guilty as he thought about the suffering that the tiny boy sitting next to him went through. Harry noticed the look on his Fathers face.
'You didn't know that I was your son and you certainly didn't know what the Dursley's were like, so forget it, it's over, I never have to go back.' Severus disagreed.
'I will not forget it. I told Professor Dumbledore not to place you with those... those bastards. As did Professor McGonagall. I most certainly forget that those muggles abused a little boy, my son, whose bloodline is so pure that it stretches back thousands of years, revenge will happen and I will be the one to deliver it.' Harry who's eyes glinted at the thought of revenge responded.
'Revenge?' Harry questioned with an evil smirk.
'You wouldn't happen to have an opening for a partner would you?' Severus Snape realized that while Harry took after his mother in his everyday behavior, there was a hell of a lot of himself in his sons way of thinking.
'Thats very Slytherin of you. Yes I think that this undertaking could be better executed with two instead of one. Now it's late, off to bed with you.' Harry was about to protest when Severus stated.
'Now.'
Sunday, September 10 1991, Harry Explains And Should We Tell The School?
'Come on Harry it's time for breakfast, get up' Came the wide awake voice of Draco Malfoy. Harry rolled over in his bed and looked at the time. 6:00.
'6am? Draco you woke me up at SIX in the bloody morning on a Sunday?' Draco did his best to look innocent but failed as he burst out laughing as Harry's angry expression turned into a huge and unsightly yawn.
'Yep. Come on get dressed so we can watch the Gryffindors, they've been providing such wonderful entertainment as they can't remove the hex's that were placed on them yesterday.' Harry, who by this time was up, dressed and with a wave of his wand clean, responded with a very Slytherin smirk and tone.
'I know, I was the one who laced Gryffindor Tower entirely, it takes about a week for the curses to run their course, if they want the curses removed before then they will have to beg on bended knee in front of the entire school before I even think of releasing them.' Draco looked impressed then asked.
'So what happened yesterday? You didn't show up at lunch or dinner.' Harry's face froze into an emotionless mask.
'Flashback, from what I understand it was Granger who found me and went in search of my Father.' Draco nodded then realised exactly what Harry had said.
'Father? But your Father is dead isn't he? Unless? Of course, Severus is your Father not Potter.' Harry looked amazed at his friend, Draco explained.
'I once asked my Father why Sev didn't have a wife and he told me that Sev was in love with Lily Evans when they were younger and about a curse that was placed upon the Snapes that they would only fall in love with their soul mates. He also mentioned that there was a condition placed upon the curse and I can't quite remember what it was, you'll have to ask Sev.' Harry looked thoughtful and said.
'I'll ask him tonight, lets get to breakfast.'
Praise Be To Slytherins They Are The Greatest, Poor, Poor Gryffindor
Once Harry and Draco arrived at the Great Hall and sat down at their table they didn't have to wait long for the Gryffindors to arrive... singing.
'Praise be to Slytherins they are the greatest, poor, poor Gryffindor we can't make the score.'(Seventh Years)
'Slytherins are the highest of the high, Gryffindors are the lowest of the low.'(Sixth Years)
'We love the Slytherins, we want to be just like the Slytherins.'(Fifth Years)
'Can we be Slytherins? They rule the school.'(Fourth Years)
'Slytherins top us all, against them we will fall.'(Third Years)
'We salute the Slytherins, they are worthy.'(Second Years)
'On bended knee we praise the Slytherins.'(First Years)
As one the entire Gryffindor house genuflected before a delighted Slytherin House.
That is all but Hermione Granger who, once she saw what was happening, decided that it would be prudent to fake a tummy ache and spend a hex-free night in the Hospital Wing. (AN: Smart girl isn't she?)
Hermione saw that if she wanted a decent breakfast conversation she was going to have to sit with the Slytherins to get it.
"Well I wasn't put in Gryffindor for nothing." She thought as she walked over to the Slytherin table. Hermione then spotted Draco Malfoy the boy with whom she spoke to yesterday and asked.
'Excuse me but I was wondering if I would be able to join you for breakfast?' Draco looked up at Hermione with a calculating gaze then he dipped his head and elegantly swept his hand in a be-my-guest gesture. As Hermione sat down Draco put his hand out and said.
'I don't believe that we have been formally introduced, Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.' Hermione glanced back at the Gryffindors who looked vicious turned back to Draco shook his hand and said.
'Granger, Hermione Granger, it's a pleasure to meet you Draco.' Harry then introduced himself and said.
'I understand that is was you who found me in the Dungeons and went to get help.' Hermione had the grace to blush.
'It was nothing.' Harry smiling shook his head.
'No it wasn't. Thank you, if you hadn't gone to find Professor Snape I would be in the Hospital Wing and not here enjoying such wonderful entertainment over a wonderful breakfast, with good company.'
After seeing Draco and Harry accept Hermione the Slytherins considered her to be one of them and made her feel at home with the rest of their house.
Professor McGonagall Gets Clued In.
After breakfast Draco, Harry and Hermione went to the library to study for an upcoming class test in transfiguration.
Meanwhile...
Professor Albus Dumbledore was sitting in his office with Professor Severus Snape playing game of Wizards Chess. Severus was losing spectacularly
'I swear that your cheating Albus no one can be this good at chess. ' Albus looking over his glasses chuckled at Severus' scowl.
'Why Severus I do believe that I have seen that scowl on young Harry when sets his gaze on Mr Weasley.' Severus' scowl turned into a fully fledged INSTANT DEATH (Glare #1) with matching vocal tones.
'That boy is nothing but trouble waiting to happen Albus. Wha...' Albus interrupted
'Now, now child, Mr Weasley is young and foolish but I remember when his Father was in first year he was exactly the same and he grew up to be a responsible parent of seven children.'
'Seven? I thought the latest Weasley was the last.'
'Yes seven, a Virginia Anne Weasley if I'm not mistaken. Now Severus I didn't ask you up to my office to talk about the Weasleys or play chess. I asked you up here to tell you that I will be telling the school about Harry and yourself, also Harry will have to change his last name that is if you have no objections.'
'No I don't but I'll have to tell Harry that his last name is changing and warn him that the school will know at dinner.'
Just then a house-elf popped into Professor Dumbledores office and said in a high pitched voice.
'Dippy is here to deliver your lunch, sirs' Albus thanked the house-elf and the two wizards enjoyed a peaceful repast.
Back to Harry...
'So your the one who pranked the Gryffindors.' Stated Hermione, not realising that Fred and George Weasley were in the next isle listening. The twins looked at each other and whispered one word.
'War.'
While Harry and Hermione were talking the lunch bell rang, having already told Draco and Hermione that Professor McGonagall was expecting him in her office Harry just waved goodbye and took off.
Harry had to run the last few metres to McGonagalls office just to meet her on time. He took a few deep breaths to slow his heart rate and knocked on the door.
'Come in.' Harry went in shutting the door behind him.
'How are you today Professor McGonagall?' Harry enquired as McGonagall smiled and gestured for him to sit.
'I am quite well thank you Mr Potter.' Harry then at McGonagalls nod launched into retelling what his Father had told him the previous evening while they ate lunch.
'Well that explains why you have such a talent for Potions because as I remember that was one of your Mothers weak points and James Potter whose name you bare couldn't stand a cauldron the right way even if his life depended on it.' Harry looked grateful at his Transfiguration Professors lack of bias.
'Thank you for understanding Professor.' Minerva just waved it off and responded
'Never mind that Harry and call me Minerva when it's just the two of us, I hate formality and try to avoid it when I can. Don't tell anyone that Mr Potter, it would ruin my as-strict-as-hell reputation.' Harry raised his hands to his years and said.
'I know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing. Thanks again Minerva, I've got to get going I've got homework to complete. Bye.' Harry headed out the door with his destination fixed firmly in his mind.
