A/N For Scott F and Yas. My friend and challenger ( hope you enjoy this. Also, thanks to Nameless thingamabob for being such a good reviewer! Well, heres the next chapter.

Chapter Five:

"You mean I have to change my name to Lewis Daniel Snape?" Harry looked at the older man watching him.

"Yes, Lily liked Lewis, for some unknown reason. You don't have to change your name if you don't want to. If you don't want to accept me." Harry looked at the letter again.

"You dare to mock us Gryffindors when you yourself are one?" Severus looked at Harry incredulously; did this mean Harry accepted him?

"Well, did I really have a choice in the matter? I couldn't change that anyway, I am, after all Voldemort's spy. Do you accept me as your father then? I accept you, if you want me." His voice was emotionless, with only the barest hint of hope colouring it.

"I guess, this does explain a few things though, like my sudden growth spurt, and my hair growing. When can I take the charms off?" Severus was shocked, his son was accepting him, even after all the things he had done to the boy in the past. Suddenly, Severus smiled, and Harry stared at him. Severus sighed.

"You're catching flies." Harry snapped his mouth shut. "Now, we have the question of the charms. You want them off then?"

"Yes, I want to look like me, not someone else." Severus smiled again at the boy, they didn't look very much alike now; the charms were still on mostly. Taking a deep breath, Severus performed the counter-charm on Harry.

Harry's hair, which had been growing at an alarming rate stopped around his waist, his skin had become paler than before. He was taller, but still small, reaching only 5'3 (I thin, I am thinking about 1m 20ish to 1m 40ish). His features were more like Severus', but he had his mother's small nose, thank Merlin. His eyesight had corrected itself, so the world looked a bit fuzzy before he removed his glasses.

"Can I have a mirror please?" Harry asked. Severus handed a mirror to Harry, who looked at it. He looked nothing like what he used to! It was like looking at a stranger. Severus smiled at his son. It was much easier to like the boy when he looked like this.

"Harry?" Severus was getting worried; Harry hadn't said anything for about five minutes after getting the mirror.

"Hmm? What?" Harry asked turning to face the older man.

"Are you aright? You've been rather quiet."

"I'm fine, just shocked, so, do I get to stay like this?" Harry asked, and Severus smiled and nodded his head. "You should smile more." Harry said suddenly, "It makes you look younger."

"Do you want to stay as Lewis? Because I can just put the spells back on, although I can't make your eyesight bad again. I could."

"I do want to stay, dad." Harry interrupted; it was Severus' turn to gape. "Dad, you're catching flies" Harry imitated the older man, who scowled at him in reply. "So, are we going to tell the headmaster, because I have a plan!" Severus groaned; this could not be good.

"I think, the sudden disappearance of Harry Potter, and sudden appearance of Lewis Snape would be slightly suspicious, should anyone look too closely into the matter. So, I was thinking that maybe, I could stay down here, with you teaching me, for a few moths after Harry Potter leaves before being introduced. What do you think?" Severus regarded the young man before him; he was not as stupid as he had appeared before.

"I think that's a great plan, Lewis. Let us go tell the headmaster." He put the charms back on Harry, in case anyone saw them, before pretending to drag Harry to the headmaster for punishment.

"Headmaster, Potter and I have something to discuss with you." Severus stated as the pair entered the room.

"Lemon drop? Tea?" The aged headmaster asked with a knowing twinkle in his eye. Both men declined politely.

"Albus, Potter and I have some very important news, and a plan."

"Oh, a plan? I like those, do tell." The twinkle was going wild in the headmaster's eyes.

"Well, I found out yesterday, that I have a son. As you have probably guessed, his mother was Lily, and that son is Harry. Now, Harry came up with an interesting plan. It seems that he got more of his mother's scheming ideas and plans than I would like." Severus looked at Harry.

"The plan is that I will 'disappear, for some reason, and then we wait for a few moths before a new student, Lewis Snape, me, is 'enrolled' and sorted." Harry finished for his father. "Of course, I will be continuing my studies in dad's private rooms."

"I see, that's a very well-thought plan. I think it might just work. Do you want me to inform the staff?"

"No, it would be better, with me in my position, for less people to know now." Severus replied.
