When Harry got back up to Gryffindor tower he saw that Ron and
Hermione were waiting for him. He decided that he needed to tell them
because then he would have someone to talk to about what his professors
just told him. When they saw him enter the tower they ran straight up to
him.
"What took you so long Harry? I thought you just had to remake the potion."
"Well it turned out that him and professor 'Naves' wanted to talk to me about something."
"What did they say?" asked Ron. He was really impatient when it came to finding out some new information.
"I found out why Professor Naves look's so much like my mum."
"So? Why then are you going to tell us or are you going to make us guess all night?" asked Hermione getting a little impatient.
"It turns out that she /is/ my mum." Ron and Hermione had shocked looks on their faces. "And that's not all. They also told me that Professor Snape is my father."
"How is that even possible considering how much you look like James Potter?"
"Ron, look at me. You know perfectly well that I no longer look anything like James Potter. I should have been able to notice it earlier."
"Well who could blame you Harry? Considering how mean he was to you all these years."
"Do you think he'll treat me any different now that he told me the truth?"
"Well in public he would have to treat you the same as he did. It wouldn't be safe otherwise. But when you're in private you'll just have to wait and see." Hermione always sounds the same no matter what she says.
"Considering what he did tonight I'll think he'll treat me better when we're alone." Harry thought about how surprised he was at how Professor Snape acted earlier. It was like he was a totally different person.
"What did he do?" Ron asked once again entering the conversation.
"He hugged me and told me that he loved me," Harry said this sounding as though he was still in awe at the events that had taken place. Ron and Hermione got looks of disbelief on their faces.
"Who would have ever expected Professor Snape to be the fatherly type," said Ron.
"I wouldn't say fatherly. Caring maybe but it's way too soon to say fatherly. There is still the matter of my mum also. People aren't allowed to know she's my mum either." Harry sounded disappointed.
"Well now you know that you're not an orphan. Also you won't have to go back to the Dursley's."
"Well I don't know about that either. We still have to discuss that. They also said something about certain people already knowing the truth. I'm so confused."
"Well it's getting late maybe we should go to bed. I'll see you in the morning." Hermione said this and was off towards the girls' dorm.
"She has a point Ron. Let's go to bed. Goodnight Ron."
"Night Harry."
The next day in potions Professor Snape acted exactly the same towards him. That's exactly what Harry expected. He knew he wouldn't be able to treat him differently. Harry didn't think he would be prepared for him to treat him differently.
"Everyone get with your partners," Harry started moving towards Ron. "The ones /I/ choose for you," he stopped.
"Granger.Zambini, Brown.Goyle, Weasley.Parkinson, Patil. Finnegan, Potter. Malfoy." He named all of the partners and everyone got to work.
"Harry."
"What do you want Malfoy? Since when do you call me by my first name?"
"I can't exactly call you Potter can I? Considering that you're not one."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know Harry. I know about your 'relationship' with the professors"
"H-how do you know? Were you eavesdropping?"
"Um.Yes, but that's beside the point. I'm not going to tell anyone."
"How am I supposed to trust that you won't?"
"I have no reason to. Well it's not like there's anyone to tell anyways. I told you didn't I? That you were starting to look like Professor Snape? See, I know what I'm talking about."
"Yeah right. Let's just finish the potion ok?" Just as he said that Neville and Deans potion exploded.
"Not again, 50 points from Gryffindor. Class dismissed. Except for you potter I need a word with you in my office." Harry slightly nodded his head and started towards the professors' office.
Harry had been in the office for about ten minutes when his /parents/ entered. "You wanted to talk to me?" Harry said.
"Yes Harry we do. Did being partnered with Draco go well. You appeared to get your potion correct this time."
"He said that he knew. He must have been listening last night."
"Harry what is the one thing you want more then anything in the world?"
"I wouldn't be able to name just one thing. There are too many things I want."
"Just tell us what they are. Maybe we can see what we can do."
"Well I want people that care about me that I can care about. I have Hermione, and the Weasley's but that's not real family. I also want someone that I could talk to about my problems and I have no idea why I'm telling you all this."
"Well Harry we are your parents and we want to know these things about you."
"Yeah I know, it's just going to take some getting used to."
"We know Harry we just want you to know we're here for you and always will be."
"Harry we spoke to the headmaster and he thinks it would be a good idea to take the charms off of you and enroll you under a different name." his father spoke as though he really cared for Harry's safety.
"Won't people get suspicious with my sudden disappearance?"
"For the first few weeks you will use an alternation charm and a time turner. Then you will be in 'hiding' for fear that Voldemort will come after you."
"Does that mean that we'll be able to be a real family?"
"If you want us to be. Harry it's your choice. We're all for it." This made Harry smile.
"I guess I still need to get use to this, but I think I'll like having a family." His parents smiled to each other. "When are we going to do this?"
"We're ready when you are."
"Maybe next week?"
"Sounds good to us."
"Will I have to be resorted?"
"Yes but if you get resorted into Gryffindor we'll say your staying in my chambers because there's not enough room in there."
"Sounds good. I've got to go. Bye"
"Good bye Harry. See you later."

AN: No Draco was not the hooded figure listening to the conversation. He found out another way. *Evil smirk* you'll find out what's going on later!!! Aren't you proud? I've never written this much at one time before!!!
