That night when Harry went to make up the potion with Snape he was planning on apologizing for how he spoke in class today but he wasn't sure if he would be able to get through it. He had no idea what he would say. That he was sorry that he hated his father so much? He couldn't say that for obvious reasons so what was he suppose to say? He decided that he would just go through it and whatever is supposed to happen will take place. That all he could ask for.

"Harry, make your potion and then I need to talk to you in my office." Snape said without his usual sneer.

"Yes professor." 'Oh no, he's probably planning on cursing me or something because of what happened earlier.

Harry finished the potion flawlessly in less then ten minutes. He made a specific note to make sure he put in the right amount of toadstool this time. 'I should have just done it correctly earlier it was quite simple, and now because I wasn't I have to spend the next I don't know how much time getting yelled at by Snape, which could have been avoided'.

Harry walked into Professor Snapes office and saw Professor Naves in there. They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation. "Professor Snape? I've finished the potion. You said you wanted to talk to me?" Harry really wished he could just make a u-turn right out of that office but that wasn't a choice at the moment.

"Yes Harry, there's something we needed to talk to you about. Something we should have told you a long time ago. The only reason were telling you now is because recent events are making it impossible to hide from you and we wanted to tell you before you heard it from someone else." Snape said with an absence of his usual hatred.

"Ok," said Harry sounding a bit surprised at Snapes tone of voice.

"Well, take a seat and we shall begin," Said Professor Naves.

"How long is this going to take? I do have classes in the morning."

"Alright Harry I guess I'll begin so that you can go back soon. The thing is Harry that I've been acting when I was around you all these years. I truly wish to get to know you and I just want you to trust me and know that what I'm about to tell you will be hard to believe. Even if what she has to tell you is even more bizarre," he said pointing at Professor Naves. "But you got to trust us and know that we are telling you the truth."

"Alright Professor I'll listen."

"Harry, I wanted to tell you that I don't hate you nor did I hate James Potter. The things I said to you in class today. That was a truth I needed to face I meant what I said about your father."

"I don't understand Professor I thought you said you didn't hate my father."

"No I didn't I said I hated your father, I still do I just can't seem to forgive myself for not doing something about the way those relatives of yours treated you." Said Professor Snape looking like a weak man who was about to break down and sob."

"What exactly are you saying Professor?" Harry was confused with Snapes words.

"Harry, /I'm/ your father." Harry was utterly speechless.
