Wow…an update. I was in Detroit all weekend (go Wings!) and ate about a pound of good kielbasa. Dear god, I'll smell that in the morning. I hope that this chapter will mess with everyone's concept of what will be happening in this story from now on!
Chapter 8
When the darkness disappeared, Harry and Severus awoke to a white light. "Okay you two, time to wake up," a female voice said. The two looked up in confusion at a woman with long black hair and piercing green eyes.
"Sam?" Severus gasped.
"Got it in one," Sam smiled. She hoisted the two up and smiled again. "I was wondering when you two would figure out my clue."
"But how?" Harry asked.
"I put part of my heart into a wand because of a prophesy that was made. It said that a vampire-wizard in the future would need the light of my heart. I trusted that seer and followed her order. When I traveled the world, that part of my heart was still connected to me. What I knew, my heart knew, so I left a message in here," Sam smiled at the two once more. "Okay it's more of a facsimile of me rather than a message."
"Dear Merlin, Sam," Severus choked out.
"Eloquent are we Severus? I thought you of all people would have figured out that clue first. And here I was thinking that I married the smart one," she smirked.
"Why did you want to see us?" Harry interjected.
"Straight and to the point," this time she did not smile. "I have to tell you two something that I would have told you in the flesh if I would have survived. As you can see, I didn't, so I must tell you now."
Sam took a deep breath and stated. "Severus, I am sorry that I left that cold December morning, but I learned something that should not have happened. I fled in fear, not knowing what you would do. You were a Death Eater, and while I was fine with your spying, I feared it also."
"Sam what are you saying, what did you learn?" Severus questioned.
"Severus, I was pregnant," she whispered.
Severus was motionless for a long moment. "That's impossible, how?"
"Do I need to explain the birds and the bees?" Sam smirked a bit.
"Vampires cannot get pregnant Sam," Severus glared at her.
"Then how do explain how I was?" she glared back.
All Severus could do was sputter.
"Excuse me; what do I have to do with this?" Harry asked timidly.
"I will continue and you will see. When I found out that I was pregnant, I fled. I thought you would explode or turn the child over to Voldemort. I couldn't allow that, so I ran to the Potters," she paused. "Lily is my descendent; she is the great-great-great-granddaughter of my sister. I have watched over my living family for generations."
"They took me in and helped me through my pregnancy, along with Lily's. The two of us went into labor at the same time and had our children near each other. My son was named Salonius Severus Snape and Lily's was Harry James Potter." Harry smiled when he heard this.
"What happened to my son?" Severus said slowly.
"The night of Voldemort's attack, I was out hunting. Lily and James were watching over the boys. Sal was charmed to be Harry's twin under the name of David William, but barely anyone even knew that he was in the house. I came back and saw the house in shambles and Death Eaters scrambling from the scene. James and Lily were dead and Harry had been…" Sam stopped.
"The Scar?" Harry supplied.
"Harry was dead," she said quickly.
"What?" Harry and Severus both yelled.
"Harry had been taken by a Death Eater and killed after Voldemort fell. Sal survived by hiding in the shadows and being silent. He was truly a half vampire, "Sam smiled sadly. "Sal had a scar from the mirror charm placed upon him, but it was not real, just a copy from the link that was severed. I couldn't take Sal with me; he was a savior to a world that needed hope. I wanted to so dearly."
"You mean to say…?" Severus stammered out.
"The boy that in next to you is your son, Salonius Severus Snape," Sam finished.
OOOOO, I'm evil. I surprised everyone I hope. I wasn't going to announce that this was Severitus until I wrote this chapter because I didn't want people to go into this with set ideas. Thanks a bunch to my reviewers and remember GO RED WINGS! Oh, and review…
