Chapter 7- A New Demeanor

Harry woke up and noticed Blake had already left the room. He had a surge of hate for his brother when he remembered what his brother was going to do. He got out of bed and went down to the Great Hall.

Blake was sitting with Hermione and Ginny acting as if nothing had happened. When Harry walked in, Ginny went up and kissed him. She started to pull him towards the table but he said, "I will not sit with him." He pulled away from his girlfriend and went to sit at the end of the table, alone.

Ginny walked back to the table. She sat down and looked at Blake. "Did you two get in a fight last night?" Hermione looked up from her meal.

"Yes. We did."

"What was it about?"

"I am going back to the Malfoys."

"WHAT!?" Both girls practically yelled.

"I have to. He said he would kill da-Professor Snape if I didn't."

"THEY WANT TO KILL HIM ANYWAY!" Ginny screeched.

"I know. But I have to take the chance they will leave him alone if I go back. So I will go back and be a Malfoy."

Hermione stood. "What you are doing is very very stupid. I would not date a Malfoy. And definitely not a Draco Malfoy. Goodbye." She walked over to Harry and sat down with him. Ginny sat stunned.

"Hermione is right. This is stupid. And I don't want her to date Draco Malfoy. But the most stupid part of this is that you think they actually care if you go back or not. They don't. They will try to kill him anyway. And Harry. How will you feel when your real family is dead, your girlfriend and true friends won't have you, and you are the one that made it that way?" Ginny stood and left. She walked over to Harry and hugged him tightly. Severus didn't come to breakfast that morning.

Draco went to his room and pulled out parchment.

Dear Lucius,

It is with happiness that I tell you, I will not be coming home. I have a family, one that won't abuse me. You would kill Harry and dad anyway. I don't want to be a Malfoy. It would cause me to lose everything good in my life. Money and a last name isn't that important anymore. Now, I have a father, brother, girlfriend, and true friends. I have been resorted into Gryffindor. I look different, like I should look. I was going to come back to you. Coming back to what I left behind. But now, I realize, I would be leaving much more here. Give Narcissa my regards.

Blake Severus Snape

Draco folded the letter and walked down to his father's chambers and knocked. No one answered so he said the password and went in. He didn't see anybody. He walked into his father's bedroom and saw Harry and his father. Harry had his arms around his father. Blake stayed in the shadows and Harry started to speak to his father.

"Dad, we will be okay. We don't need him. We have each other. We probably have more family somewhere. Blake can do what he wants. He has made his decision. Just let him go."

"I can't. Lucius will kill him. I know it. He will kill him the second he walks into that house. I can't stand to lose another part of my family. I can't bear it. I love you Harry, you are my son. But, I am losing him. I will never be okay with him gone, now that I have had him."

Blake stepped out from the shadows. He walked towards the bed and handed his father the letter. His father and brother read it and when they were finished, Severus Snape stood up grabbed his son and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Blake."

"I love you." Was Blake's answer.

Harry smiled and hugged his brother and walked out of the room. He soon arrived outside of a gargoyle and went in. Albus was waiting for him. "You said you wanted to see me, headmaster?"

"Yes, Harry. How is Severus?" Dumbledore said, worriedly.

"Blake has decided to stay." Harry said, smiling.

"Good. Harry you will need to sit for what I have to tell you. Few people know about this. Precious few. I haven't told Blake or Severus yet."

Harry sat. "Harry, do you know how your parents picked your names?"

"No sir."

"Your father picked your first names and your mother picked your middle names. Blake is Blake Severus Snape, you are Harry Albus Snape."

"After you."

"Yes, but there is a reason other than the friendship between your mother and I. I am your grandfather."

"Mom and Dad's parents are dead, sir." Harry said, disbelievingly.

"Your mother was adopted. She was a Dumbledore. My daughter. I had to give her up for adoption because someone was planning on killing her. A young Tom Riddle. Petunia's parents adopted her. I told her in her sixth year, she took it well. She named you after her father."

"Sir, this is not funny."

"It wasn't meant to be. I am ready to recognize you as my grandson. You are Dumbledore and a Snape. That says a lot of things about you. It makes you a Blake very powerful. Which is why I must tell you this."

"Tell me what?"

"That I am your grandfather and about your bloodlines."

"What about it?"

"I am a direct descendent of Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw and your father is a direct descendedent of Merlin, himself."

"But Merlin had no kids."

"You are incorrect. He had an illigetimate child with Serena Snape. That child was named Severus Snape and twelve generations later, your father was born."

Harry sat stunned. "Are you telling me the truth?"

"Yes, Harry."

Harry stood and walked around the desk. "It seems I get new family every day."

"You do, child, you do."

Harry hugged his grandfather and after talking a while, he went down to his father's chambers to get his brother and after a tearful goodnight, they walked together back toward Gryffindor tower. Suddenly, they saw people clad in back robes and masks with the hoods up turn the corner going away from them. Blake's eyes grew wide. "There are death eaters in the castle." Harry felt his bolt tingle. "They are students. Going to a meeting."

"We need to find out who they are."

"Agreed. Let's go to bed, maybe I will see them in a dream."

"Okay."

They send the letter off to Draco's father with Hedwig and went to bed, for once they were hoping for bad dreams.
