Lord of Fate
By Illustrious Sorrow
Chapter 5: Father and Son meet
Harry was walking in a grey world with no sound except for he feet hitting the ground. Clouds swirled around him and then
suddenly cleared. Sanding in front of him was his mother. "Mum! What are you doing here?" "I just pulled you out of a possible
nightmare. That grey was Voldemort trying to pull you to him. When you do not come he will assume that the spell was faulty
and blame his death eaters. You are safe now with me, besides, I wanted to talk with you."
"What about?" "Your godmother. I want you to treat her like your own mother. She will be happy to take the role, she is not
so stict as she appears. She loves you and your daughters. You need a mother that can be with you all the time and I
unfortuntely can't. Open up to her and you'll be suprised at what happens."
Fate stopped talking, as if listening for something. "It is safe now, you can go." "Mother, can I ask a question?" "Of course
you can." "Who's my father?" "That I cannot answer right now. He is alive but he is tortured in spirit and believes that
you hate him." "Hate him? If he's my father I can't hate him." "Ahh, but /he/ doesn't know you feel that way." "When will
I find out who he is?" "When your change is complete you will look just like him."
"Why is it that in the wizarding world people always look just like their parents? Muggles don't look just like their parents
at all." Fate laughted, "That is not somthing I am allowed to tell you, but it has somthing to do with magic in the blood."
Harry laughed to, he hadn't really wanted the question answered after all.
"How can I have a mortal father? You aren't mortal are you?" "No I'm not. The way you can have a mortal father is that I
took a mortal lover 15 years ago and you were concieved. The problem was, because I am immortal time has no effect on me
and won't on my children so a baby wouldn't grow past the first stage. That was why I had to have Lily Potter bear my child.
I knew that the time of the prophecy was on hand."
"What is this prophecy you keep talking about anyway?" Harry asked suddenly distraced from the questions he was going to
ask about his father. "It was made by Merlin years and years ago. Would you like to hear it?" Harry nodded his head
enthusiasically. Fate laughed, having known that Harry would feel that way.
"It goes like this:"
"A child will be born,
Into a world full of hate and scorn,
Son of Fate and mortal man,
Delivered in a human woman,
He will banish the evil lord,
So he can grow up, though for years he will be abhorred,
At eleven joy will come,
A giant man will be the one to take him from,
The place were only outside evil could not reach.
The boy will come to a place were great ones teach,
And find love was never beyond his reach,
His friends be true, his actions great,
To protect them will always be his fate.
At fifteen he will find,
His mother was always at his side,
That he comes from Merlin and a founder great,
More will happen on this happy date,
His looks will begin the change,
Friends will think that he looks strange.
A savior he'll be,
Strong and True though longing to be free,
A fighting lord through and through,
Two daughters he'll have,
They'll help to fight the worlds worst evil,
He must meet and accept his father,
Bond with his familiars,
And come to know his other half,
Only then will the dark been truly defeted,
Only if all is done, will this come to pass."
Fate stood silent while Harry assimulated all this new information. "Well, what do you think?" "I think I have a huge
headache." His mother smiled fondly before saying, "You have to go now. Your daughters want you. Be good to my grandchildren
you got it?" "Yes Ma'am! Harry saluted, "Goodbye mother." "Goodbye son." With that Harry woke up to hear his daughters
wailing.
"Lily, Raven, what's the emergancy?" "I think they want to be fed." Aura said smiling as she handed Harry a bottle. She
reached over and picked up Lily and Harry picked up Raven. "I don't understand, they never cried at the Dursley's." Aura
frowned, "They probebly know that they're in a safe place now and act accordingly. All babies cry like that." She smiled at
Harry's dismayed face and then did a double take.
Harry's hair was now at his shoulders, his skin was several shades paler then it had been before and his cheekbones were
extrodinaryily defined and when he stood up, he was over seven feet
tall. "H-harry, you might want to look in a mirror." Harry looked at her stangly but obayed her request. When he saw himself
he nearly dropped Raven. "I-I look like-like Professor-Sn-Sn-ape!"
Severius's pov
I was pacing around my potions lab trying to calm myself down. Albus had just told me that /Potter/ was being abused and
nearly died. I can't believe it, I though that he was being treated like a celebraty, a god, being waited on hand and foot,
boy was I wrong.
When I was a child my father abused me until I joined Voldemort. After that he was proud of me and I fell for it! Now I had
nearly lost Potter, Harry....my son.
Hospital wing
Mechanically Harry returned to his bed and continued to feed Raven while his godmother tried to talk to him. "I'm sure that it's
a mistake, after all James Potter is your father...isn't he?" Harry mutly shook his head. Now he knew why his mother said
that his father thought that he hated him. But if Snape was his father then why did he hate him when he came first year? If
he hadn't been so awful to Harry then he wouldn't have hated him. This was all making his headache worse. First coming into
his powers, then learning the prophecy, now Snape was his father! What a day.
"Harry, come on, talk to me." Aura shook him lightly. "Don't worry, I'm sure this can all be easily explained." Harry
looked up at her, "Of course it can. Severus Snape is my father." "Are you sure?" "Yes. My mother said I would look just like
my father when I finished changing. I have finished and I look just like Severus Snape."
"How do you know?" "I feel.... complete now. Trust me, I am done changing and Snape is my father." Fade fell silent and
continued to feed Lily. Harry did the same with Raven. After a time Harry spoke again. "I will not be able to defete Voldemort
for years. I just found that out today. My daughters have to help. Luckily Voldemort doesn't know that."
Aura could only nod at this and stay silent. Suddenly Snape burst into the hospital wing followed closly by an angry
looking Dumbledore. "Where is Harry?!" Snape snapped at Aura before noticing Harry siting on the bed and stopping short.
His eyes took in the man sitting on the bed. He was extremly thin, as though he hadn't been eating enough and was extremly
well muscled. It was obvious that once the man ate better he would have even larger muscles.
It appeared that every inch of this strange person was covered in scars, especially his face, especially around the eyes.
Snape looked closer and realised the man was blind. He had prominate cheekbones and shoulder length black hair that was
had an auburn streak. If Snape didn't know better he would say that the man could almost be his brother.
"Who are you?" He demanded loudly. "I am not deaf Professor. Only blind." Here the man chuckled, "I am your son actually."
Snapes face paled. "But-you-you're-you can't be. She said the boy-" "I am 'the boy' professor. I changed a bit. Meet your
son, Harry-erm- Potter, I guess."
"Harry? H-harry. What happened to you?" Snape asked, which showed his shock because he already knew what happend to Harry.
He had been beaten. "Professor, as I'm sure that you already know, I was abused by my uncle as well as starved." Snape nodded,
still in shock that his young man could possibly be the scrawny scared boy his son, Harry, Used to be.
"What's with the babies?" He finally managed to ask. Harry chuckled again. "Severus Snape, meet your grandchildren, Lily
Dove Potter and Raven Rose Potter." Hearing this, Snape fell over. "Professor, are you alright?" Harry asked calmly, since
he knew that the man was.
"Sure, why not." The man grumled as he picked himself off the floor. "I was a single man with no family yesterday and now
I have Grandchildren! I'm just fine." Snape did a double take at what he had just said. "Wait a minute! /Why/ do I have
grandchildren? You're only fifteen!" Now it was Harry who ended up on the floor. Only he was laughing so hard that he could
barly breath, where as Snape had fallen from shock.
"I'll explain later, I didn't do anything like that." "Severus, you never told me you had children." Albus said from the
doorway, sounding alittle hurt. Snape whipped around to face the older man. "I don't." "Really, as I recall you yourself just
said you do." "Oh. I knew that." He began to explain. "I met his mother one night and we fell in love. We had one night
together and then she had to leave me. She explained who she was and what she was and the prophecy. She said I would have a
son but couldn't know who he was until he came of age."
"The problem was, he would not be born from her, but from another. One night I was to learn about him in a dream and would
be able to contact him after that. I had the dream last night." Albus, sensing that this would be a good time to make himself
and Aura scarce, took Lily from the woman and gave her back to Harry, then dragged the enrapt women out of the hospital room.
Now that they were alone, Harry could ask questions that had been bothering him. "Do you want to be my father? If you don't,
I understand. I know you hate me." Harry looked down at the his daughters, avoiding his fathers gaze. "Harry, if you want to,
I would like to try to be your father. I don't know that I'll be any good at it but I'd like to try. You must understand,
I hated what you stood for. You stood for power that I would never have, a promise I could never fulfill. I thought you enjoyed
the life of a celebraty and would be waited on hand and foot. Now I know that isn't true and don't hate you. I am ashamed
that I judged you so incredably wrongly and want to make it up."
Harry thought about this for a while before simply nodding. "I would like to try it as well." He hesitated for a second,
"What should I call you?" This statment, unexpected as it was, helped to relieve the tension, causing both of the people to
laugh, even though it wasn't really funny.
"I don't know," Snape finally said, "I guess you could call me Severus at first. If and when you feel comfterable, you can
call me dad or father. If you want." "That's fine." Suddenly Harry stood up and set his daughters down. Then he walked across
the room and hugged his new found father. "Thank you." He whispered quietly before standing up and bringing his daughters to
their new grandfather.
"Lily, Raven, this is your grandfather Severus. Severus, would you like to hold one of them?" Snape nodded and Harry passed
Raven to him. For a while Snape looked like he didn't know what to do with the tiny baby in his arms, but after a bit, he
grew more comfterable with the child.
"Where did you get the name Raven Rose?" Snape finally asked. "I don't know, it just seemed to fit her. And before you ask,
Lily was my...adopitve mother's name and Dove seemed like a good middle name." "My god, I never thought I would have grandchildren
at this age. Much less ones named after birds and flowers." He laughed, it was a nice laugh to, though it consiterably
startled Harry. This was not a nervous chuckle or a sneer, this was a full true laugh.
"What? Do I really act to mean to my students that I'm not allowed to laugh occasionally?" "No, I've just never really seen
you happy before." Severus pondered this for awhile, still holding his grandchild. "I guess you're right. I've just never had
anything to be happy about in years. Now I have you and Lily and Raven."
Harry nodded, "But what are you going to tell the rest of the school? I look exactly like you." "I don't know, I'm sure that
Albus will think of somthing." "Probebly." Harry was silent and then swung his legs off the bed and stood up, wavering
slightly. Severus' eyes went wide as he saw how high Harry stood.
"My god Harry, did you swallow a bottle of Skelegrow or something?" Harry shook his head, "No, I got taller so that my body
could contain all my magic." "But you must be over six feet tall!" "Seven, actually." Harry said gloomily, "I'll gone from
the extreme of short to the extreme of tall. A midget and a giant. What luck." He shook his head silently and conjured the
baby carriers.
Pulling them over his head, one lay on his back and the other over his stomache, Harry then put Lily in the front one and had
Severus put Raven in the back one. "Come on, I want to get out of here. I'm boared." With that he left the room with powerful
strides and headed towards the front doors, Severus running slightly to keep up.
In a few moments Harry,Severus, Raven, and Lily were all sitting outside in the grass. Harry cast a spell to keep the babies
skin from burning and let them lay on their stomaches and play in the grass. Suddenly a pain in his forehead caused him to
hiss in pain and at the same time, Severus clutched the dark mark on his arm.
"I have to go. Inform Albus that I was called." "Be careful. I expect you to come back alive." Said Harry in all seriousness.
"I'll try." Was the best Severus could promise. Severus set off for the apparation ward boundries and Harry put Lily
and Raven back in the carriers and headed toward Albus' office.
When he got to the gargoyal, the password simply popped into his head. "Blood Pops." He said quietly before charging up the
stairs and knocking on the door to Albus' office. "Come in." Called the headmasters voice, sounding vaugly confused. Harry
pushed the door open and was suprised to see a multitude of people gathered in the office.
"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to interupt." "It's fine Harry. What did you need." "My father was called. He wanted you to
know." Albus looked concerned but hid it quickly. "Why aren't you in the hospital wing Harry. I'm sure Poppy would have a
fit if she knew you weren't in there." "I was boared. You really ought to give me my own room for as often as I'm in there."
Albus chuckled sightly, "And how are your daughters." "Just fine as you can see." Harry gestured to the carriers were Lily
and Raven were grugling happily at the silent people in the room. "Good, good. Why don't you head outside or back to the
hospital wing. I'm sure that Madame Pomfery's worried."
"In a frenzy ready to kill me you mean." Harry muttered as he left the room as Albus laughed at the statment. As Harry closed
the door he could hear the people asking who he was. Smerking, Harry went down the stairs and went towards the library. About
halfway there he was exausted and was starting to rethink his excursion with his daughters.
"Mr.Potter. What on earth do you think you're doing?" Harry spun around in a defensive postion, hunching over Lily and letting
Raven face the wall at his back and prepared to cast a spell. "Oh, Madame Pomfrey, it's you." He said, lowering his hands
again. "Of course it is, who were you excepting? The boogyman?" "Not exactly."
"What are you doing out of the hospital wing young man? Just because you're powerful doesn't give you the right to wander
around the school while you're still healing." "I know Madame Pomfery." "Then why don't you listen?!" Harry just shrugged and
began to walk down the hall towards the hospital wing. Halfway to the Hospital wing, Harry felt the edges of his vision begin
to fog.
"Madame Pomfery, here. Take my daughters for a second." He didn't give the nurse any chance to argue, only placed the baby
carriers around her neck. Then he let himself surcome to the darkness.
(dream)
{ Harry was walking in a dark void, he supposed it was another vision. It turned out he was right when the darkness shifted
to become Voldemort and his followers. "I have discovered a traitor in our midst. I think you all know what happens to anyone
who betrays /me/!" Voldemort was pacing in front of the death eaters.
"Remove your masks, all of you!" Without hesitation, all the masks were off. Nobody wanted to piss Voldemort off any more then
he already was. Even the most evil of then almost pitied the traitor, or would have if they weren't so angry about someone
being a spy.
"Severus Snape, please join me up here." Voldemort commanded. Slowly Snape walked through the death eater ranks and stood in
front of Voldemort. "Now Snape, who do you think is the spy?" Voldemort stopped for a second, letting him sweat. "Could it be
you yourself, Severus Snape?" He didn't wait for a confermation, just put the crudasious curse on him. Multiple times. The
pain that Severus was experiancing was also felt by Harry. After a moment he couldn't take it, even though he wasn't able
to effect anything in dreams, he had to try.
"NO!" Harry yelled, "Father!" He ran toward his painfilled father and threw himself in front of the curse. "And who are you?"
Voldemort asked imperously. "I am his son!" Voldemort grinned maliously, "Father and son will die together. Severus, I'm
dissapointed, you never told me you had a son."
"What are you doing here? Get out while you can." "You shall die and your body will be presented to Harry Potter, after all,
you're father is dying to save the boy, therefore, so will you. Do still desire to save your father? You're going to be
killed for it you know." "I will not. We're leaving and you cannot stop us!" With that, Harry's body shimmered and both he
and his father were gone.
Harry could hear Voldemorts yell of rage as he blacked out again, hoping that he had managed to save his father, not thinking
about the damage he might have done to himself.

"I'll try." Was the best Severus could promise. Severus set off for the apparation ward boundries and Harry put Lily
and Raven back in the carriers and headed toward Albus' office.
When he got to the gargoyal, the password simply popped into his head. "Blood Pops." He said quietly before charging up the
stairs and knocking on the door to Albus' office. "Come in." Called the headmasters voice, sounding vaugly confused. Harry
pushed the door open and was suprised to see a multitude of people gathered in the office.
"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to interupt." "It's fine Harry. What did you need." "My father was called. He wanted you to
know." Albus looked concerned but hid it quickly. "Why aren't you in the hospital wing Harry. I'm sure Poppy would have a
fit if she knew you weren't in there." "I was boared. You really ought to give me my own room for as often as I'm in there."
Albus chuckled sightly, "And how are your daughters." "Just fine as you can see." Harry gestured to the carriers were Lily
and Raven were grugling happily at the silent people in the room. "Good, good. Why don't you head outside or back to the
hospital wing. I'm sure that Madame Pomfery's worried."
"In a frenzy ready to kill me you mean." Harry muttered as he left the room as Albus laughed at the statment. As Harry closed
the door he could hear the people asking who he was. Smerking, Harry went down the stairs and went towards the library. About
halfway there he was exausted and was starting to rethink his excursion with his daughters.
"Mr.Potter. What on earth do you think you're doing?" Harry spun around in a defensive postion, hunching over Lily and letting
Raven face the wall at his back and prepared to cast a spell. "Oh, Madame Pomfrey, it's you." He said, lowering his hands
again. "Of course it is, who were you excepting? The boogyman?" "Not exactly."
"What are you doing out of the hospital wing young man? Just because you're powerful doesn't give you the right to wander
around the school while you're still healing." "I know Madame Pomfery." "Then why don't you listen?!" Harry just shrugged and
began to walk down the hall towards the hospital wing. Halfway to the Hospital wing, Harry felt the edges of his vision begin
to fog.
"Madame Pomfery, here. Take my daughters for a second." He didn't give the nurse any chance to argue, only placed the baby
carriers around her neck. Then he let himself surcome to the darkness.
(dream)
{ Harry was walking in a dark void, he supposed it was another vision. It turned out he was right when the darkness shifted
to become Voldemort and his followers. "I have discovered a traitor in our midst. I think you all know what happens to anyone
who betrays /me/!" Voldemort was pacing in front of the death eaters.
"Remove your masks, all of you!" Without hesitation, all the masks were off. Nobody wanted to piss Voldemort off any more then
he already was. Even the most evil of then almost pitied the traitor, or would have if they weren't so angry about someone
being a spy.
"Severus Snape, please join me up here." Voldemort commanded. Slowly Snape walked through the death eater ranks and stood in
front of Voldemort. "Now Snape, who do you think is the spy?" Voldemort stopped for a second, letting him sweat. "Could it be
you yourself, Severus Snape?" He didn't wait for a confermation, just put the crudasious curse on him. Multiple times. The
pain that Severus was experiancing was also felt by Harry. After a moment he couldn't take it, even though he wasn't able
to effect anything in dreams, he had to try.
"NO!" Harry yelled, "Father!" He ran toward his painfilled father and threw himself in front of the curse. "And who are you?"
Voldemort asked imperously. "I am his son!" Voldemort grinned maliously, "Father and son will die together. Severus, I'm
dissapointed, you never told me you had a son."
"What are you doing here? Get out while you can." "You shall die and your body will be presented to Harry Potter, after all,
you're father is dying to save the boy, therefore, so will you. Do still desire to save your father? You're going to be
killed for it you know." "I will not. We're leaving and you cannot stop us!" With that, Harry's body shimmered and both he
and his father were gone.
Harry could hear Voldemorts yell of rage as he blacked out again, hoping that he had managed to save his father, not thinking
about the damage he might have done to himself.
