Part/Chapter: 4
"Hey Herms, So is it all set for tomorrow?" Ron asked the minute he say Herms. He wanted to see Harry so badly.
"Well Ron actually no. Sorry. Harry is being distant and before you and Hermione come they want to see if they can get him to snap out of it pro say. But no matter what you will be going to Snape Manor next Tuesday." Herms finished with the best news.
"What? Snape Manor? Is that where we're going? Is that where Harry is? Is Snape there?" Ron shot questions.
"Yes Snape Manor. Yes that's were you and Hermione will be. Yes Harry's there and I might say he's taking it well so far. And as it's being called Snape Manor of course Snape is there. But he only goes in the summer." Herms said in a rush but with humor.
"Well ok. I guess if Harry isn't going ballistic I can handle it. I know you're in a hurry good bye then."
"Bye Ron. Sorry you can't go tomorrow. I'll see you later ok? We can play chess." A smile is playing on both faces.
"Bye and chess sounds great. You know I'm much better than last time."
Ya? We'll see." And with that he popped out of sight.
Dumbledore was back at his office getting ready for school term. He was doing a lot of that lately. Not only was he working with the new school term but with Voldemorts return known and the ministry trying to fix that up. He was busy with this and that.
"Hermione I have so bad news." Herms said as he walked in the door.
"Oh well what is it? Harry's ok right? Ron's good right?" Hermione thought one of them was hurt.
"Um no Mione. Only um you can't go to Snape Manor til next Tuesday. Sorry."
"Shit" Hermione muttered. (Hermione already knew that Harry was at Snape's and that Ron and her was going to go there. It wasn't a surprise for her."
"What?" Herms said with a smile.
"Oh never mind. Is it because Harry is sick or hurt?" Hermione asked carefully.
"No not really. He's just a little depressed and Tonks, Lupin, and even Snape want to make see if he'll tell why."
"Ok that's fine. So next week I'll see you. Um have. Have you been to see Ron yet?"
"Yes I went there first. Sorry."
"Oh it's okay. So I guess you have something else to do?"
"Yes I do. Then I need to go back to Snape Manner at 3."
"Oh I guess you should go. It's already 12. I see you next week. Will you look at my History homework when Ron and I get settled in?"
"Yes as long as you let Ron and I play chess first." Herms said with a big smile.
"Sure that won't be a problem. Thanks. Bye."
"Bye. Take care til next week.
Herms left and went to Hogwarts he needed to see Professor Flick about something. Then he was going to Hogsmeade for some stuff. Hermione stared after him for a few minutes after he left. Well Harry didn't know they were coming and she didn't know if that was a good idea for them. She knew Harry was mad last year at Ron and herself because of letters. She hoped that nothing like that would happen this year.
Jets was roaming London. He was looking for someone. After he found her and had brunch with her he would go see Mr. Weasley. He had to talk to him about the ministry happenings. He found his girl and went to eat brunch with her. Everything went smoothly there and the time flew by. He didn't want to leave but had to. She had to get back to work anyway. After he found Arthur they talked about the ministry. Arthur didn't think Fudge could hold Minister for a lot longer. They would need to vote for a new one. Besides most of the wizards and withes were mad anyway with him for not believing Dumbledore or Harry. And because he didn't believe them he didn't look into anything which made them even angrier. So it wasn't looking very good.
Back at the Manor things weren't going so smoothly either. Although not as bad as they could have been. Harry after getting in his room and shutting the door wondered what Snape was going to say to him. Was it something about Sirius? If it was Harry wouldn't listen to it. No that wasn't it anyway. Serverus would have already told him with out coming up to his room to tell him. He was worried. Then he also stormed up there and he wasn't even mad what was up with that he wondered. After getting a prepared about forty-five minutes later Snape had made it to Harry's room. He mentally kicked himself and knocked on the door.
"Open it." He heard Harry's muffled voice. And he thought here I go and with that walked in.
"Have a seat somewhere anywhere." Harry said crossly. What was with that?
"Okay. Well I'm going to tell you something. You not going to like it but I need to tell you. Do you think you can sit there and listen to me until I'm finished? Snape said smoothly. He knew Harry would agree but break the agreement after he started.
"Sure. I can be quite."
"Fine. Well Harry your not going to believe me but I'm your uncle. I was James brother." No way to say it except to just come out and tell it.
"What your lying." Harry said just as Snape predicted he would. But he was ready for it.
"No I'm not. I really am your uncle. I really was James brother." Serverus said it calmly like Dumbledore would. It made Harry want to hit the wall. He hated when someone was talking calmly in a situation like Snape was now. "Our parents raised us together we were very close until we grew up and reached that age of 10. Then we became enemies."
"You can't. you just can't be my uncle. What about the Pensieve. You can't have memories if there not true. You can't. be..my.uncle." Harry said hyperventilating.
"Harry breath in and out." Snape said pausing watching to make sure Harry was doing that. After Harry had regain his breath Snape continued. "Well the Pensieve was a memory. Just like it happened. Your father loved to play tricks and the such on me for fun. He didn't like that I was in Slytherin. Our parents were in Gryffindor and he thought I should be too. Our mum's family was Slytherins expect her and her sister and dad's was Gryffindor. So he thought that since mum and dad was we should have been too. Well he was I wasn't. I was a year older than your father. I went to school the same year as him because our parents wanted us to go the same year."
"But you just can't be. If you really are my uncle why did you make me go live with the Dursleys? Do know what it was like for." Harry stopped.
"I can and I am." Snape growled. Now shh and let me finish. Well yes I became a Death Eaters. After two years I didn't like it anymore. So I became a spy for the light. As you know. I knew Peter was a spy for Voldermort and that they were planning on attacking my brother, sister-in- law, and nephew. But I thought Black was there keeper and thought it Peter was just lying. Then he wasn't and I hated my brother for being a dick and didn't want you. No way was I raising his child. But no I regret it. No I don't know what it was like tell me" Snape explained a lot and then thought about how Harry just stopped. He wanted to know how much he put the boy through.
"No, I won't tell anyone. I was fine. So why are you telling me now? Why didn't you tell me before and Why were you mean to me?" Harry needed answers. He was tired of having everyone keeping secrets around him.
"You will tell me sometime. I'll make you. I need to know. I didn't tell you because I didn't like my brother. I was mean for the same reason. I could do anything to him. Er. Well I could but we were to good for each other and no one would win in the end cause we had to go and do something. I'm telling you know because your not like James plus James wasn't that bad we were brothers thought and grew apart. It was both of our faults. Stubborn we are just like you. I need to tell you because if I don't you'll wonder why I'm being nice. Harry I'm sorry but I can't be a heartless baster towards you your whole life. You don't deserve it and if I was so god damn stubborn and didn't let it get in the way maybe we could be closer."
"Your making all this up. You just want to know something." Harry screamed.
"And what would I want to know?" Serverus said calmly.
"I don't know maybe something for Voldermort. I just don't know. But your lying I know it." Harry said and hit the wall. He was angry and Snape sat there calmly. Not his self. Or was he? But he nothing to improve Harry's mood.
Just as Harry shouted the first time Tonks, Lupin came home about the same time. Then Dumbledore followed soon after. They could here Harry yelling and knew what must be going on. When Harry hit the wall Dumbledore got up and disappeared upstairs. He need to help. Well maybe not he need to add to the boy's confusion before he got over it and had to become even more confused. It was best to do it all at once.
"Harry what's going on?" Dumbledore asked calmly appearing in the room.
"I don't know? Ask him." Harry replied pointing at Snape.
Dumbledore looked at Snape and shook his head. "Harry I believe I already know and by Snape's look I know I'm right. Well I must tell you two things one is Snape is your uncle. The other is I'm your great grandfather. Before you go and storm around the house I suggest you sit and let us talk for a few minutes." Dumbledore said calmly still.
Harry looked at him as if he was crazy. No this could not be happening. Dumbledore his great grandpa and then Snape his uncle. What was wrong with the both of them. He decided he would ask Dumbledore a few questions. "Why didn't you tell me my first year? Or why didn't you just keep me? Why send me to my mother's stupid sister's house?"
"I don't believes she's that stupid Harry. I thought it better to keep you out of our world if Serverus didn't keep you. And as for first year I thought you were to young. This, is what I've thought for every year until now. We have kept you in the dark and it's time for you to be in the light."
"I don't think I'll ever be out of the dark. I think I'm getting there and then another secret is revealed. Well thank you for telling me that I have family other than Sirius and the Dursleys. I feel so very more loved." Harry finished with sarcasm.
"Harry. Stop. We will finish with this at a later time. For now you uncle and I have to go downstairs and meet everyone else in the dining room. You may stay or come it's up to you." Dumbledore said as he walked towards the door.
"I have stuff to do. I'll stay." Harry said know they would ask if he didn't say something.
"Fine. Dinners at 6 o' clock. Make sure your down there. You will drink a veggie drink." Snape said straight to Harry's face.
"I will drink what? I'm don't think I'll even be hungry or thirsty and that doesn't sound very good." Harry answered back.
Serverus smiled. "Dinner at 6 o' clock. Make sure your there. You will drink the veggie drink." Snape repeated again. "Oh and if your not there by 6:06 I will personally come up here and drag you." With that Snape left grapping an astonished Dumbledore's arm as we went.
Great. My potions professor is my uncle and he's been mean to me since the day I was born. Then my headmaster is my great-grandpa. That's great. I'm going to end up having everyone related to me by the time I die. Maybe, Voldermort's my brother or something I wouldn't put it past anyone. But of course he's not my brother. The only thing we have in common is our wands. Oh ya wands. No ones remembered about that. Did they? He would have to fight him with a sword or something. His life wasn't going good. He knew that this would not be the year to kill Voldermort. He wasn't trained enough. But then again he could defeat him. Highly unlikely though. Not unless someone wanted to train Harry day after day after classes. He thought that yes unlikely.
At the same time Dumbledore and Snape were walking down to the kitchen to meet with Tonks, Lupin, Herms, and Jets. Dumbledore was amused at what happened.
"Serverus what the heck was that?" He asked with that twinkle in his eyes.
"Oh you mean If you not there I coming up to get you?" Snape said casually like nothing happened.
"No I mean the food/drink."
"Oh that. Well you see he only ate fruit again and some veggies for lunch. The elves made a lot of food thinking he would be hungry. So I told he might eat a little more and we had this discussion on his eating habits. Well he mentioned something about he couldn't eat more because that's all he ate for so long and that anymore would make him sick."
"Did he indicate it was his own doing or that that's all he got from the Dursley's" Lupin asked. They had walked in to the dinning room around that time.
"Er. Well no he didn't. I have a feeling it was both though. But he didn't say." Snape replied remembering the sentence Harry left unsaid. He would get it out of him if no one else could. He would find a way to make Harry tell.
"Oh well. We'll see about it later." Lupin said letting it go.
"So anyway I thought about it after he said that and told the elves to give him a healthy drink with some nutrition in it. He had fruit twice today. So they suggested a veggie drink. I said good choice. Well work on meats next week and this week well do veggies." Snape finished for Dumbledore.
"Well I'm glad. Now down to business. Herms did you get Hermione and Ron taken care of?"
"Yes. Ron wasn't thrilled about coming here. But said if Harry could do fine he could too. Hermione was upset that she couldn't come and help Harry but she knows its best." Herms replied.
"Thank you. Jets what about news?"
"It doesn't look like Fudge will hold office much longer. The ministry is going down hill real fast. Everyone's mad at Fudge. It's not looking good." Jets answered.
"Thank for that news as much as it's disturbing. Lupin are you set for tonight?"
"Yes. Already."
"Good. Tonks I suppose you're watching Harry tonight. Right?"
"Yes."
"Ok, how was Diagon Ally?"
"Good. Nothing new. I picked a book for class. It the newest one."
"Great. Thanks. Serverus what did you do while everyone was done besides what I already know about Harry?"
"Well before Tonks and Lupin left we talked about him then I took a nap until lunch. That's all."
"Ok. The schools fine. The wards are still up and strong. Everything else at the school is fine. It is now 5 o'clock. Herms, Jets are you staying here for dinner tonight?" Dumbledore finished.
"No, I have somewhere to be." Jets said with a smile.
"Nope, I'm going to Cole's for dinner. His son is so cute."
"Okay then. I think were done with this meeting so you may do whatever you please. Meet back here tomorrow at breakfast then." Dumbledore dismissed everyone.
"Tonks are you staying?" Snape asked.
"Well yes. I don't have anything planned for tonight." Tonks replied.
"Okay. Dinners at 6 o'clock but well wait until 6:10 to eat. I gave Harry until 6:06 to get down here. Lupin I suppose you will be gone by then right?" Serverus asked.
"If not I'll be leaving around then." Lupin said getting ready to leave.
"Ok. Then well I'm going to go to the library. I'll see you at dinner Tonks. See you tomorrow afternoon Lupin. Bye."
"Bye." Lupin and Tonks said together.
"I'm going to go set up for tonight. Bye." Lupin said.
"Ok. See ya." Tonks said and went to find Dumbledore.
Serverus went to the library and started to look at some potions. He might need them soon. He was enjoying looking through them and lost track of time. A house elf came up to tell him it was 5:58. So he quickly got up and headed towards the dinning room quickly.
Tonks went and found Dumbledore. He was in one of the studies. He was looking at a piece of paper. It had the family information. He knew Harry would want to see it soon. He would also want to know why his name was Potter while Serverus was Snape and he was Dumbledore. So he was getting it ready. Tonks left him to look through it. He did just that until 5:58 and went slowly to the dinning room.
Tonks decided she would go to her room to make up some lesson plans. She was going to be the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. She wasn't going to tell Harry, Hermione, or Ron. They would find out with the rest of the school. So she worked with her lesson plans until the grandfather clock chimed 6 o'clock. Then went to the dinning room.
Harry stopped thinking and studied on some new defenses. He was getting interested in his work. He didn't want to stop but it was 6:02. He didn't know if he wanted to go down to the dinning room. But if he didn't his "uncle" would come up. He didn't want to know what he would do. He wondered if he bagged if his uncle would allow him to stay. Ya right he said he was going up meaning to take him down. So he got up and went down the stairs and into the dinning room. He entered just as Serverus was getting up to go up to get him.
"Nice of you to come done Harry." Dumbledore said. With that tinkle in his eyes.
"I was thinking about staying and not coming down but I thought better." Harry said curtly.
"Hey, Harry. How are you?" Tonks said.
"Hey Tonks. I'm fine. What about yourself?" Harry said excitedly.
"I'm good. I'm hungry. When the food coming Serverus?" Tonks whined jokingly.
"Oh. Well its coming. I said 6:10. Did you forget?" Snape said back surprisingly teasing.
"No I just wondered." Tonks answered.
"Harry. Didn't you get your OWLS this week?" Dumbledore asked.
"Um ya. I got them." Harry said.
"Well what did you get?" Tonks asked excitedly.
"Um I got 14 OWLS." Harry said in a boring tone.
"You did? What did you get in Potions?" Serverus asked hoping he got an outstanding.
"Um well Outstanding." Harry said in the same voice.
"Yes. Good job Harry." Snape said.
"Congratulations Harry." Dumbledore said.
"Hey Harry did it say how many scored higher and how many got the same?" Tonks asked still excited.
"One got high. I'm sure Hermione. Then two got the same as me." Harry said yet again with a boring tone. That wasn't getting missed by his grandfather or uncle.
"Wow. Great job." Tonks said as she started to eat.
"Harry." Snape said snappishly.
"What?" Harry snapped back wondering what he did.
"Drink your drink. If you don't I'll pour it down." Snape said dangerously.
"Fine" Harry replied. Not meaning it.
It was one heck of a meal. Serverus kept tell Harry to drink the drink or else. And Harry saying ok not doing it. Finally Snape went to get up to pour it in Harry's mouth. But Harry started to drink it. Then after a sip he drained it fast. It was nasty. Then it was a long night for everyone. No one really slept.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Well there you go. I'll have chapter 5 up Friday.
Thanks Princess55. You're the best.
You'll find out why Harry, Dumbledore, and Serverus have different last names. In the next Chapter. Bye for now.
Part/Chapter: 4
"Hey Herms, So is it all set for tomorrow?" Ron asked the minute he say Herms. He wanted to see Harry so badly.
"Well Ron actually no. Sorry. Harry is being distant and before you and Hermione come they want to see if they can get him to snap out of it pro say. But no matter what you will be going to Snape Manor next Tuesday." Herms finished with the best news.
"What? Snape Manor? Is that where we're going? Is that where Harry is? Is Snape there?" Ron shot questions.
"Yes Snape Manor. Yes that's were you and Hermione will be. Yes Harry's there and I might say he's taking it well so far. And as it's being called Snape Manor of course Snape is there. But he only goes in the summer." Herms said in a rush but with humor.
"Well ok. I guess if Harry isn't going ballistic I can handle it. I know you're in a hurry good bye then."
"Bye Ron. Sorry you can't go tomorrow. I'll see you later ok? We can play chess." A smile is playing on both faces.
"Bye and chess sounds great. You know I'm much better than last time."
Ya? We'll see." And with that he popped out of sight.
Dumbledore was back at his office getting ready for school term. He was doing a lot of that lately. Not only was he working with the new school term but with Voldemorts return known and the ministry trying to fix that up. He was busy with this and that.
"Hermione I have so bad news." Herms said as he walked in the door.
"Oh well what is it? Harry's ok right? Ron's good right?" Hermione thought one of them was hurt.
"Um no Mione. Only um you can't go to Snape Manor til next Tuesday. Sorry."
"Shit" Hermione muttered. (Hermione already knew that Harry was at Snape's and that Ron and her was going to go there. It wasn't a surprise for her."
"What?" Herms said with a smile.
"Oh never mind. Is it because Harry is sick or hurt?" Hermione asked carefully.
"No not really. He's just a little depressed and Tonks, Lupin, and even Snape want to make see if he'll tell why."
"Ok that's fine. So next week I'll see you. Um have. Have you been to see Ron yet?"

"Oh it's okay. So I guess you have something else to do?"
"Yes I do. Then I need to go back to Snape Manner at 3."
"Oh I guess you should go. It's already 12. I see you next week. Will you look at my History homework when Ron and I get settled in?"
"Yes as long as you let Ron and I play chess first." Herms said with a big smile.
"Sure that won't be a problem. Thanks. Bye."
"Bye. Take care til next week.
Herms left and went to Hogwarts he needed to see Professor Flick about something. Then he was going to Hogsmeade for some stuff. Hermione stared after him for a few minutes after he left.

"Fine. Well Harry your not going to believe me but I'm your uncle. I was James brother." No way to say it except to just come out and tell it.
"What your lying." Harry said just as Snape predicted he would. But he was ready for it.

"Harry. Stop. We will finish with this at a later time. For now you uncle and I have to go downstairs and meet everyone else in the dining room. You may stay or come it's up to you." Dumbledore said as he walked towards the door.
"I have stuff to do. I'll stay." Harry said know they would ask if he didn't say something.
"Fine. Dinners at 6 o' clock. Make sure your down there. You will drink a veggie drink." Snape said straight to Harry's face.

"Did he indicate it was his own doing or that that's all he got from the Dursley's" Lupin asked. They had walked in to the dinning room around that time.
"Er. Well no he didn't. I have a feeling it was both though. But he didn't say." Snape replied remembering the sentence Harry left unsaid. He would get it out of him if no one else could. He would find a way to make Harry tell.
"Oh well. We'll see about it later." Lupin said letting it go.
"So anyway I thought about it after he said that and told the elves to give him a healthy drink with some nutrition in it. He had fruit twice today. So they suggested a veggie drink. I said good choice. Well work on meats next week and this week well do veggies." Snape finished for Dumbledore.
"Well I'm glad. Now down to business. Herms did you get Hermione and Ron taken care of?"
"Yes. Ron wasn't thrilled about coming here. But said if Harry could do fine he could too. Hermione was upset that she couldn't come and help Harry but she knows its best." Herms replied.
"Thank you. Jets what about news?"
"It doesn't look like Fudge will hold office much longer. The ministry is going down hill real fast. Everyone's mad at Fudge. It's not looking good." Jets answered.
"Thank for that news as much as it's disturbing. Lupin are you set for tonight?"
"Yes. Already."
"Good. Tonks I suppose you're watching Harry tonight. Right?"
"Yes."
"Ok, how was Diagon Ally?"
"Good. Nothing new. I picked a book for class. It the newest one."
"Great. Thanks. Serverus what did you do while everyone was done besides what I already know about Harry?"
"Well before Tonks and Lupin left we talked about him then I took a nap until lunch. That's all."
"Ok. The schools fine. The wards are still up and strong. Everything else at the school is fine. It is now 5 o'clock. Herms, Jets are you staying here for dinner tonight?" Dumbledore finished.
"No, I have somewhere to be." Jets said with a smile.
"Nope, I'm going to Cole's for dinner. His son is so cute."
"Okay then. I think were done with this meeting so you may do whatever you please. Meet back here tomorrow at breakfast then." Dumbledore dismissed everyone.
"Tonks are you staying?" Snape asked.
"Well yes. I don't have anything planned for tonight." Tonks replied.
"Okay. Dinners at 6 o'clock but well wait until 6:10 to eat. I gave Harry until 6:06 to get down here. Lupin I suppose you will be gone by then right?" Serverus asked.
"If not I'll be leaving around then." Lupin said getting ready to leave.
"Ok. Then well I'm going to go to the library. I'll see you at dinner Tonks. See you tomorrow afternoon Lupin. Bye."
"Bye." Lupin and Tonks said together.
"I'm going to go set up for tonight. Bye." Lupin said.
"Ok. See ya." Tonks said and went to find Dumbledore.
Serverus went to the library and started to look at some potions. He might need them soon. He was enjoying looking through them and lost track of time. A house elf came up to tell him it was 5:58. So he quickly got up and headed towards the dinning room quickly.
Tonks went and found Dumbledore. He was in one of the studies. He was looking at a piece of paper. It had the family information. He knew Harry would want to see it soon. He would also want to know why his name was Potter while Serverus was Snape and he was Dumbledore. So he was getting it ready. Tonks left him to look through it. He did just that until 5:58 and went slowly to the dinning room.
Tonks decided she would go to her room to make up some lesson plans. She was going to be the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. She wasn't going to tell Harry, Hermione, or Ron. They would find out with the rest of the school. So she worked with her lesson plans until the grandfather clock chimed 6 o'clock. Then went to the dinning room.
Harry stopped thinking and studied on some new defenses. He was getting interested in his work. He didn't want to stop but it was 6:02. He didn't know if he wanted to go down to the dinning room. But if he didn't his "uncle" would come up. He didn't want to know what he would do. He wondered if he bagged if his uncle would allow him to stay. Ya right he said he was going up meaning to take him down. So he got up and went down the stairs and into the dinning room. He entered just as Serverus was getting up to go up to get him.
"Nice of you to come done Harry." Dumbledore said. With that tinkle in his eyes.
"I was thinking about staying and not coming down but I thought better." Harry said curtly.
"Hey, Harry. How are you?" Tonks said.
"Hey Tonks. I'm fine. What about yourself?" Harry said excitedly.
"I'm good. I'm hungry. When the food coming Serverus?" Tonks whined jokingly.
"Oh. Well its coming. I said 6:10. Did you forget?" Snape said back surprisingly teasing.
"No I just wondered." Tonks answered.
"Harry. Didn't you get your OWLS this week?" Dumbledore asked.
"Um ya. I got them." Harry said.
"Well what did you get?" Tonks asked excitedly.
"Um I got 14 OWLS." Harry said in a boring tone.
"You did? What did you get in Potions?" Serverus asked hoping he got an outstanding.
"Um well Outstanding." Harry said in the same voice.
"Yes. Good job Harry." Snape said.
"Congratulations Harry." Dumbledore said.
"Hey Harry did it say how many scored higher and how many got the same?" Tonks asked still excited.
"One got high. I'm sure Hermione. Then two got the same as me." Harry said yet again with a boring tone. That wasn't getting missed by his grandfather or uncle.
"Wow. Great job." Tonks said as she started to eat.
"Harry." Snape said snappishly.
"What?" Harry snapped back wondering what he did.
"Drink your drink. If you don't I'll pour it down." Snape said dangerously.
"Fine" Harry replied. Not meaning it.
It was one heck of a meal. Serverus kept tell Harry to drink the drink or else. And Harry saying ok not doing it. Finally Snape went to get up to pour it in Harry's mouth. But Harry started to drink it. Then after a sip he drained it fast. It was nasty. Then it was a long night for everyone. No one really slept.
