Author's Notes: Hmm... I was contemplating changing chapter three but, I figure not because I don't know ... I guess I will update this then... umm... next week I don't know if I can update or not. (School sucks!) Other than that, enjoy.
Means thoughts _____________________________________________________________________
Albus and Severus left a rather hysterical Harry in the Hospital Wing and went to talk in the hallway. "This really bothers me, Severus. I don't know how much of this Harry can take on his own. You should watch after him."
"No," Severus said, "I can't. Do you think I can be of any help? I made the poor boy cry!"
"You should watch over him," Albus said in his usually calm demeanor. "He needs someone."
"Have Lupin watch him. You mentioned that he was coming back this year. Have him watch Harry."
"No. You should. Go and think about it. If he was your child would you have him suffer like that?" Albus said.
Crazed man, Severus thought, Watch after Harry, he's delusional. Severus went down to the dungeons to contemplate what Albus said. If he was your child would you have him suffer like that? What is he even talking about? If he was my child he wouldn't live like that.
Severus was lost in his thoughts when he noticed something on his desk. It was an old letter. The parchment was yellowed with age and Severus could hardly make out his name on the envelope. What's this? he thought. Curiosity got the best of him and he opened the letter. It read:
My Dearest Severus,
If you are reading this, Peter betrayed us and we died at the hands of the Dark Lord. Hopefully Harry survived. There is one thing I'd like
to explain to you. My son, Harry, is truly your son.
Severus stopped. Harry? His son?
Right now you are probably asking how. I understand what you are thinking. How are you to have a son? Did you notice his birthday? It was less than nine months after we broke up. He is yours. The day I saw your Dark Mark was the day I was going to tell you I was pregnant with your child, but I
had seen the mark and I knew my son could not live with a Death Eater
father. It would not work, so I ran.
I ran straight to James who said he would help me. We were married just three months before Harry was born. I know, the fact that I left you hurts but there is something urgent that I need to tell you. The charms on Harry
are wearing off.
The charms are some rather complicated concealing and glamour charms. They made Harry look exactly like James. There is one problem though; there is no charm powerful enough to work for a long period of time. So, James and I combined a few charms and made them last until Harry's sixteenth birthday.
It was just two days ago and if you have noticed, Harry is changing. He will look much less like James and more like you, his true father. It will take about a month for the entire charm to wear off, so you have that long
to do something.
You may not even want to keep Harry, but he will probably be with Sirius or my sister, Petunia. If he is with Petunia, you are going to want to get him
out of there; she and her husband are not fond of magic.
That is all I can say right now, though, remember one thing. I will always
love you.
Yours,
Lilly
Severus was shocked, he had a son, and his son was Harry Potter, no less. What am I going to do about this? Severus asked himself, I can't tell him. It would kill him. Then there is only one option, I tell no one.
Back in the Hospital Wing...
Harry was distraught. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He could hardly remember anything that happened at the Dursley's except that whatever they did hurt.
Harry cautiously tried to get out of the bed; he scooted over to the end of the bed and tried to push his feet onto the floor. When he tried it shot a shooting pain up his arm and it made his shoulder throb. Curious as to why his shoulder ached so much, Harry took his arm out of the sleeve of the hospital gown and inspected his shoulder. There was a star shaped wound on his shoulder. What happened at the Dursley's Harry asked his self. How did I get this scar? I remember the train ride home, the Order threatening the Dursley's and then we got home. There was a letter from someone. I don't know what happened after that.
Harry was laying in his bed trying to remember what happened when Severus Snape walked into the Hospital Wing. After a brief talk with Madam Pomphrey he walked over to Harry's bed. "Mister Potter, I believe you would like these." Professor Snape said as he handed Harry a photo album, his invisibility cloak and his wand.
There was a brief silence, and then Harry asked, "Professor, I was wondering, why do you have my things?"
"You don't remember?" Severus asked.
"No... I remember the train back, the ride home with my uncle and then they got a letter. I don't remember what it was about and then, I woke up here." Harry replied.
Oh shit, Severus thought, This is going to be a serious blow to him when he remembers. "Well, Mister Potter, I will have a brief discussion with the Headmaster and then we will be back to... Um... discuss some things."
What is his problem? Harry thought. He seems a little nice. God, what is wrong with me. Harry was sifting through his things when he found a picture o the Dursleys. The picture was from when Harry was like six and he really believed that the Dursleys loved him. He absentmindedly touched the picture when everything came back. That entire month or pain. Everything Vernon did to him came flooding back.
When Severus returned with Albus Harry was openly sobbing. "Child what is the matter?" Albus asked.
"I-I remember... Everything that happened at the Dursleys...everything." Harry replied.
Severus sat down on the bed. "It is alright child, they can't touch you now. They can't touch you." He was patting Harry on the back. The first time Severus touched Harry, he flinched as if expecting to be hit.
Albus was aghast. Severus and Harry he would never have thought. But then all things considering, Harry did look ever so slightly like Severus. ________________________________________________________________________
Author's Note: Yeah Severus seems just a little bit out of character. Ehh sorry. I'll update later... some time.
