Baby P-
WARNING- There is one swear word in this, if you aren't allowed to say it then you shouldn't read it. Sorry I just had to do that. ^_^
I finally got around to writing this chapter, I know it took a while and I'm sorry to keep you waiting. On the other hand I managed to post the prologue to this story while I was bored. It's called 'To Die For Love' so check it out if you want.
Thanks to the people who have reviewed my stories in the past, you are all great. There are only a few more chapters of this story left, but I will probably write a sequel.
Disclaimer- I don't own anyone on this page, I don't own the words I write with, I just like to twist them for my own use.

A Death In The Family-9
^^^^
Draco had always known that their school was a biased one, you couldn't be sorted into Slytherin without knowing it. But for some reason he didn't feel like being the bad guy that night, maybe it was because he was tired, or maybe it was because he had just been subjected to one of the most painful curses ever. Severus on the other hand was quite content with his role as the mean one and he proved it.
"What have I done? No Minerva it is what have YOU done. Your oh-so perfect students lured Mr Malfoy into their trap, then, if that wasn't enough they cast the crusion on him. If I hadn't been alerted to their activities then Mr Malfoy would have surely died." He edged closer, his eyes were burning with anger but his voice was calm and low. "Do not object Minerva, Granger was carrying an In-sealable in her hands as she walked through the door. Do you know what that means? If you don't I will inform you, she was planning to lock Draco in this room for the next hundred years. Do not try and blame me for your Gryffindor's"
Minerva spluttered incomprehensively before gathering her wits and preparing to give Severs a piece of her mind. Luckily for her Dumbledore intervened, stepping between the two teachers. His face was grave and Harry felt his cheeks flush in shame as Dumbledore's knowing glance fell on him. There was a tension in the air as he conjured up three stretchers, on for Ron, Hermoine and Draco.
Draco was not ready to forgive the headmaster, neither was Severus and they made the point of deliberately turning the stretcher down. "No thank you Headmaster, I am able to walk to the infirmary with Professor Snape's help. I won't need your stretcher." With that Draco turned and limped out of the room, Severus glaring once more before supporting his godson as he left.
^^^^
Harry was torn. Should he run after Draco and Snape, after all Draco needed his help, or should he stay with Ron and Hermoine and take them to the infirmary. Little did Harry know that the decision he made now would ultimately change the course of his life. He looked to Dumbledore for an answer but the usually friendly headmaster ignored his look, it was up to him to decide.
Harry turned and took off out the door, yelling out to Draco as he ran. It was a rushed decision, but some gut instinct told him that Draco would need his help in the future, and as mixed up as Harry Potter was he was still a Gryffindor deep down in his heart.
Dumbledore shook his head gravely, all his hard work, all his contribution in Harry's life and now he was being abandoned for the Malfoy. He had ensured Harry's loyalty to the school by making him a Gryffindor, if had listened to the hat and placed him in Slytherin then all would have been lost. It seemed he hadn't done his job properly Harry was insecure and frightened instead of the confident boy he had imagined, even Ronald and Hermoine had failed to improve him.

Severus groaned as he heard Potter start to run after them. Why in merlin's name did it have to be Potter who was in with Draco. He would have rathered anyone, anyone of his Slytherin's or perhaps even a Ravenclaw, but NO, it just had to be Potter. Severus knew he was a man of many qualities, the youngest potion master ever by over 2 decades, a skilled wizard and a skilled murderer, a scholar who in his school days was better than Granger and the proudest godfather around.
To be born a second son was to be born into a life of loneliness. Second sons' were a type of insurance, if the first son died or became a disgrace the second son would instead inherit everything. No matter what you did as a second son, it would never measure up to the first. Severus knew this as a fact, as he was a second son.
Even as a child Severus had been a quiet and outcast member of the family. The youngest in the manor by 16 years he often stuck to himself, seeking refuge in the vast library of Dark Arts. His first memory was not of his family of house, but of Lucius.
The first time he met Lucius was at a family gathering, the malfoy's were some how related a few centuries back. It was Severus's first time at a formal gathering and he was uneasy with the crowds and noise, preferring the solitude of the library. A small blonde, who was dressed in the silliest robes he had ever seen, spotted his awkwardness. The boy made his way over and immediately started insulting him.
Severus, unlike his brother, had never been taught how to behave in social situations by tutors and when he encountered teasing he reacted the only way he knew how. He started hexing. Luckily for him Lucius also had a wand and was more than capable of using it. Hexes had been exchanged until a very scandalised Morgana Snape had run over and snatched the wand away from her son. Severus had found out on that day that his life was worth much less to his family than that of his distant cousin Lucius.
^^^^
Lucius Malfoy stormed through the infirmary doors, glaring nastily as they slammed behind him. Draco hadn't said a word in his letter about having a curse put on him, if he wasn't so worried he would kill the boy himself. He looked quickly around the room, his face not showing his surprise at Harry's presence.
Ignoring the fact that McGonagall was looking at him like he was Voldemort himself, Lucius dropped into the chair next to his son and conjured up a bottle of scotch. He took a long sip before turning to Severus and asking, "What. The. Fuck. Happened. To. My. Son?"
By the time Lucius had heard the full story and had finished asking questions Harry was glad that Ron and Hermoine were in a different room. The way Draco's father was acting was scaring even McGonagall and Madame Pomfery, two women who would go up to Voldemort barehanded and give him a detention.

Both Mrs Weasley and Mrs Granger were surprised to see an owl drop a hogwarts letter on the table. The former was used to dealing with these and was already planning what to send in the twin's howler. Both received a surprise as the started reading:
