Harry didn't know what to say. He was hoping that he had heard his Professor incorrectly.

"Did I hear you correctly Professor?" Harry asked in a voice no louder then a small Child's.

"If you heard me say I was your father then yes, you did."

"Wait you said that what Professor Naves had to tell me was even harder to believe how is that? What are you going to tell me that you're my mother?" Harry couldn't think of anything else that could be more bizarre.

"Um... Yes?" said Professor Naves.

"Ok, that's just too much. I'm leaving now." Harry said making to leave.

"No wait. Please Harry; you said you would hear us out." Professor Snape looked kind of hurt.

"Well professor you were right. It is hard to believe. How are you my father and not James Potter? How are you my dead mother, who was killed by Avada Kedavra at the hands of Voldemort?" once he finished Professor Naves stared talking.

"Well Harry as you have figured out I /am/ Lily Evans. I was married to Severus here for the first few years after graduating from Hogwarts. After I got pregnant with you we decided it wouldn't be safe because of his being a spy for the Headmaster. Voldemort would have forced your father to hand you over as soon as you were old enough to be a death eater. I couldn't have that happen to my baby. Sign over your life before you were even born? So I staged a wedding with my good friend James. Me and James were never legally married nor were Severus and I ever divorced. So I am and always hope to be Lily Snape." She said this and they both had massive grins spread across their face.

"There's still the matter of why I looked like James for so long, and the fact that you're ALIVE!!!" Harry was utterly confused.

"She's getting there Harry. Hold your horses," said his /father/.

"Both of those questions have the same answer. Charms or course. We put a glamourie on you. I used a duplication charm on myself. It appeared as though I was there but I was really in California on a mission for the ministry." She paused again.

"So how did I survive the Avada Kedavra then?"

"Well, the Snapes have a natural resistance for the Avada Kedavra and they can fight off the imperius. It's only the cruciatus that has any affect on us. It's also the worst one," explained his /father/.

"So, if both my parents were alive then why did I have to live with the Dursley's so long?"

"Don't you see Harry? It wouldn't have been safe for any of us. Voldemort would have kept trying to find your mother if he knew she was alive. He would have wanted you as a Death Eater if he knew you were my son, and he would have found some horrible way to punish me for not telling him that you were my son."

"So where do we go from here?" Harry asked.

"That Harry is for you to decide," said his mother pulling him into a hug.

"Right now I think I need to go to bed. I'm pretty tired."

"Of coarse Harry. Just think about the trust you have in a person before you tell them about what we told you. Maybe someday we'll be able to be a real family like we always should have been."

"Alright, good night."

"Good night Harry," his mother said giving him one last hug. What happened next greatly surprised him. His father (that he would never guess as being his father) also gave him a hug.

"I have always loved you Harry and always will. You are my son," with that Harry headed out of the office to get back to Gryffindor tower. None of them saw the hooded figure standing just outside the door listening to every word they said.
