CHAPTER 2- HOW TO GET A FAMILY
Draco woke up in his nice bed the next morning. "I knew it was all a dream. Now I have to go deal with Lucius." He frowned and opened his eyes. But he wasn't in his room. He jerked up and said "IT WASN'T A DREAM!" He got out of bed and walked out of the room. The potions master was sitting at his kitchen table.
"Good morning Severus."
"Good morning Drag.Blab.Draco."
"If this isn't a dream, you can call me Blake."
"So, have to looked in the mirror? You looked horrible yesterday."
"What?"
"Well both of you looked a little strange. Now I know a child between and Potter and a Snape would NOT look good."
"You mean I don't look like that anymore."
"Yes, I said that on your birthday you would have it completed."
Draco turned and ran to a mirror in the hallway. Staring back at him was a tall dark haired man. His hair was black with auburn highlights in it. It would look good if he cut and spiked it. He was tall, about 6'3" and his eyes were black with little green spots in them. His skin was fair but looked great with his hair. His jaw was more defined. And his cheekbones were higher. He was very lean and muscular. He smiled. "I look good."
He went back to the kitchen and sat down across from his new father. "That's a lot better."
"I should think so, wouldn't want you looking like a Potter. Their hair is HORRID!"
Draco laughed. "I wonder what Potter looks like."
"He probably looks a lot like you, you are TWINS, remember? And DO NOT CALL HIM POTTER!" Severus said, sternly.
"That's more like the professor we know! Why are you acting so weird?"
"This is how my usual self would act. I don't have to put up the 'evil death eater' look for the death eater's children anymore. I can act normally. And you are my sons. I want you two to get along."
"Well I am happy you can be yourself. I know I am your sons but I can't promise we will get along. We have been enemies since our first year."
"Well why don't you go wake him up, nicely, and try. Then you can come out here and get your birthday presents. All of the owls came here."
"Okay." Draco said quietly. "I don't want to be nice to Potter but if I have to, to stay away from my old house and have a decent parent, I will."
Severus smiled. "Well go wake your brother up Blake. And DO NOT call him POTTER. Call him Snape if you want but NOT Potter."
Draco grunted and walked to the door across from his bedrooms. He knocked on the door but no one said anything. Then he walked in. Harry, or the new and improved Harry was thrashing on his bed saying, "Not Sirius, please no!" He was screaming and sweating, tears were rolling down his cheeks. Draco walked in and started to shake Harry, his eyes wide.
Harry jerked awake but kept his eyes lowered. He jumped off the other side of the bed and scooted up against the wall he started to rock himself and kept his arms over his face. He said, "Uncle Vernon, please don't, I am sorry for waking you up. It's my fault, I."
"Harry!!!" Draco turned around and saw his father standing in the door way. The man pushed past Draco, ran to Harry and gathered the shaking boy into his arms. "Harry, its okay we won't hurt you. It was only Draco." Harry slowly started to stop shaking and just cried into his father's chest. After a few minutes he looked up, "I'm sorry." He muttered.
"Harry you have nothing to be sorry for. It wasn't your fault. But why are you on the floor?"
Draco answered. "I knocked on the door and no one answered. I walked in and he was in his bed, having a nightmare. I came over and shook him, to get him to wake up. And he jerked away and came over here."
Harry looked up at, "could that be Draco?" he thought. "I am sorry, Malfoy. I didn't know that it was."
"Don't call him Malfoy." His father said. "And it isn't your fault. You have been through a lot. In and out of school. Just calm down."
"Yes sir."
"Now, why don't we go open your presents."
Harry stood up and about slipped back down. His father and brother came and steadied him and they walked into the living room. On the table were a lot of presents. The two boys smiled. "Happy birthday boys."
Harry and Draco smiled. They started to open their presents. Harry opened a letter first. It was from Ron.
Harry,
Happy birthday! Hope you are having a great day. Are the Dursleys treating you well? Anyway, I have you present in here from me, one from the twins and one from mum and dad. We had to get two owls two bring everything. Can you come over for the last week of break? If the Dursley's say no, we can get you.
Guess what, dad came home last night and said that Lucius Malfoy disowned Draco. It was all the talk at the ministry. Maybe he won't walk around like such a big shot anymore, huh? Hope not! Write back.
Your friend,
Ron
Harry opened the three parcels. The first was from the twin, a box of their latest joke stuff. The second was from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. They had sent him a cake and a sweater. It was Green and had and Gold "P" on it. Harry smiled. "P" for Potter, but he wasn't one. He opened the third present and saw Ron's gift. It was a new cloak. He needed one; his old one was way too short. But so was this one for someone who has grew 6 inches in the last week.
He then opened up the next letter from Hermione.
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday. Hope you are having an okay time at the Dursley's. I had a strange dream last night, I saw you, but you didn't look like you. It was strange. Anyway, I hope you like your present!
Your friend,
Hermione
Inside her parcel was a book. It was "Famous Wizarding Families through Time." It looked interesting. It had the Snape's and Potters in it too.
His third gift was some treacle fudge from Hagrid. He had never really like treacle fudge, much less Hagrid's. It was rock hard. He smiled and put the box aside.
The next present was from.Dumbledore. Dumbledore had never given him a present before. It was in a large box. He saw a matching one in front of Draco. He opened it and inside was a pensieve. Harry smiled. "This will come in useful." He said. Draco smiled and nodded.
Him and Draco finally finished opening their gifts and sat back. Both of them were happy with their gifts. But both were missing something. Draco didn't have a gift from his parents and Harry didn't have a gift from Sirius. While this didn't bother Draco too bad, Harry was crushed. In his sixth year, Sirius had Cruciatus put on him until he went insane. Just like Neville's parents. He was in St. Mungo. He had to go visit him soon, he thought. Then Severus stood up. "Aren't you wondering if I got you something?"
The boys looked up at him surprised. "You only told us last night."
"I know, but I already had your presents. Your mother and I had kept them to give them to you on your seventeenth birthday. It's a good thing; I didn't throw yours out, Blake."
He handed them each a box. They opened the boxes. Inside was an invisibility cloak, a key, a cloak clasp with the Snape family crest, and papers. They looked up at their father, confused. He smiled.
"Harry I know you have an invisibility cloak, but this is an heirloom. It was meant to be handed down to you. Draco, now you have one. The key is a key to a vault in Gringotts. Your own personal vault. It has plenty of money in it. The clasp has the Snape family crest on it. Your names are at the bottom of it. See? It changes with each Snape it is given too. These two belonged to me. The papers are for your names change. If you still want to do it. Then you will be Harry and Blake Snape."
His sons stood up and hugged him. Today was a good day. He finally had his family.
"Prof.Dad, can I go and see Sirius today?"
Severus smiled. He and Sirius have put their past behind him about two weeks before the.accident. "Yes. We will go. Blake too if he wants."
Draco smiled. "So I am Blake now?"
"If you sign those papers."
Draco picked up the pen, signed where he need too, and Blake put down the pen. Harry did the same thing.
"Welcome to the family, Harry, Blake." He hugged his sons and said, now go get ready."
"Oh, dad, Can I go spend the last week with Ron? I usually do."
"I guess so." Severus forced a smile.
"Do you not want me too?" Harry said.
"No, it's not that, I just thought you would want to spend time with us."
"Well, I do. But I want to see them too. They were the closest thing to a family I had before now."
"Okay." Severus smiled. "Can you ask the Weasleys if they can come here, then we can break the news to them? I am sure they will be.surprised.to find out you are in fact, my son, and Draco is your brother."
Harry smiled and walked to the fire place. He threw some powder in and said "Mr. Weasley", soon Arthur's face showed up.
"Hello Harry? Is that you? Are you able to come? How did you get the muggles to let you firetalk?"
"They didn't. I need all of you to come to Hogwarts this afternoon."
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. I just need to tell you all something. Around three is good. In the Great Hall?"
"Sure. Who do you want me to bring?"
"All of you, if that is all right?"
"Sure. We will be there. But Charlie and Bill can't, they are working. And Percy.he's uhm not living here anymore."
Harry furrowed his brow. But Severus sneered. Harry knew where Percy was when he saw that look on his father's face. "Okay."
"Harry? One more thing, why do you look different? I could barely recognize you."
"Just come to Hogwarts. And don't say anything about that to anyone else. Okay?"
"Whatever you say Harry. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Weasley."
Harry stood up after his surrogate father's head disappeared. "Well that's all done. Are we ready to go?"
"I'm ready. Blake?"
"Ready. Let's go."
Once the family reached St. Mungo's they walked up the stairs. They went to room 513 and opened the door. Inside, Sirius was sitting on his bed, staring at the wall.
"Hello, Sirius." Sirius's insanity had caused him to think that James and Lily were still alive and Harry was just a baby. But when he heard that silky voice Sirius thought it was Snape.
"What are you doing here!?" He snapped.
"I came to visit you, Padfoot."
"I don't know how you know about my nickname but if you don't get OUT OF MY ROOM."
"What's wrong Sirius?"
"Get OUT of MY room SNAPE!"
Harry gasped. He forgot how much he looked like his father now. He didn't look like James anymore.
"It's me.Sirius.it's Harry."
"You don't look a thing like James and you are NOT a baby. Get OUT of my Room Snape."
"Please.Sirius..It's me." Harry said, tears falling down his cheeks. Sirius then noticed the real Snape and Blake.
"Oh god, more than one Snape."
"No it's me, Harry, and Blake, and Severus Snape."
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY DAMN ROOM SNAPE!" He yelled at Harry. Harry turned and ran out of the room. Blake followed him. Severus stayed behind. He stood in the corner. And then he heard Sirius's mind pop back where it was supposed to be. "Harry? Oh god, what did I do? He thinks I hate him now? Why did I think he was Severus?"
"Sirius?" Severus said.
"Severus, I am sorry. Did I say what I think I said to Harry?"
"Yes. I am afraid so, Siri. You are still in St. Mungos. But you are getting better. The nurse says that 60% of the time you are your old self now. When you get better you can come live with us. I told Harry. And I found Blake."
"What? You told them about you being."
"Yes. And Blake was Draco Malfoy. Lucius was the one who kidnapped him. He signed the papers. He and Harry are now officially Snapes."
Sirius smiled. "Tell Harry I said I was sorry. I don't hate him, I love him. And."
"He will understand. I better get going. We have to go tell the Weasleys the news. I am sure they'll be."
"scared"
"No."
"Terrified"
"No,"
"Surprised."
"Yes."
"Okay, go on then, bye Sev."
"Bye Siri."
Severus walked out and met his sons. Harry was crying and Blake had his arm around Harry."
"He is okay. He got back to his senses after you walked out. He is sorry and says he loves you."
Harry stood up and hugged his father. "Will he ever be normal again?"
"If Sirius Black is one thing, it is not normal, but I do think he will be able to overcome his insanity. Now, let's go see the Weasleys." And with that the three Snapes left.
