On with the show:
!?!?!?!? Last time:!?!?!?!?
"Your parents didn't die in a car crash." The woman on his left said.
"Then what happened to them?" Harry asked Severus.
!?!?!?!? Now!?!?!?!?
"Harry..." Severus looked at Albus silently pleading for help.
"Just about you and Lily. Too young now..." Albus said.
"Harry... Your parents never died in a car crash." Severus said.
"Then what happened to them?" Harry asked. He was deeply interested in this fact and forgot he was forbidden to ask any questions at all.
"Your mother faked death and ran away to America when her house was attacked. She left you in hopes you would have a better life than she would have because she had to go into hiding." the stern looking woman said.
"And my father?" Harry pressed.
"Is me." Severus said.
"You're my dad?" Harry asked, his eyes tearing up. Why did he leave me? Why is he just now finding me? Why did he let me stay there? Harry had all of these thought and questions swimming in his head.
"Yes, Harry. I am your father." (AN: Sorry, couldn't help myself!) Severus said.
"Then what about my scar?" Harry asked quietly.
"A bad man gave it to you." Severus said.
Harry started to feel uneasy and Severus gathered the shaking and scared boy in his arms and leaned back on the bed Harry was in, holding the boy in his arms as the boy shook and cried.
"Harry, the way you look right now isn't the way you're supposed to look, you know? Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick can make you look how you're supposed to look. Would you like that?" Albus asked. He waved the Professors out as he spoke their names.
Harry nodded and looked at Severus as if asking if it was okay. Severus nodded and Harry sat up in Severus' lap facing the other Professors.
"Harry, they will need to use their wands to do that, is it ok?" Severus asked in a soothing voice, very unlike the voice he used in classes. He was glad that the potions he gave Harry had actually worked better than usual. Seeing he was a direct blood relative, the fact that he added a few ingredients and a drop of his own blood to each potion helped the boy heal faster and made the pain go away.
Harry looked scared for a moment and noticed that the people here didn't look like the people that hurt that woman in his dreams. He nodded again and took a deep breath.
McGonagall and Flitwick took out their wands slowly and Severus felt Harry tense up. Severus rubbed Harry's back soothingly and Harry started to relax.
"Harry... you know I wouldn't let anything hurt you, don't you?" Severus asked in Harry's ear quietly. He'd hoped that Harry wouldn't be afraid of this process.
Harry looked up at the man that was now his father and he nodded and smiled and looked back towards the other people and said, "Ok."
"Glamourie Ceacium Appariancious" McGonagall chanted pointing her wand at Harry. Blue sparks flew from her wand and slowly hit Harry. It tickled when it his him and he giggled for a moment until it stopped.
"Glamourie Ceaciem Cultuariam" Flitwick chanted pointing his wand at Harry as McGonagall did and yellow sparks flew at Harry, making him giggle again.
"The changes will occur within the next few days, so don't be too shocked, Severus, when he stops looking like James and more like you and Lily." McGonagall said.
"Thank you. Can I see my mom?" Harry asked softly.
Albus put out his hand to lay it on Harry's shoulder, but Harry took it the wrong way and put his hands to shield his face, brought his knees to his chest and scooted back where he was almost on top of Severus and said "I'm sorry! I won't ask any more questions! I'm sorry! Don't hurt me please!" and started to cry.
Albus, McGonagall, and Flitwick were very shocked at this reaction, and Severus just pulled the tiny four year old in his arms as Harry cried. Harry noticed that Severus wouldn't hurt him and clutched the man's robes in his hands as he buried his face in Severus' robes and cried.
"Shh.... Harry, he won't hurt you. None of us would ever hurt you.... You don't have to be scared..." Severus murmured, rocking Harry back and forth as he used to do when Harry was a baby.
"Can...can... I-I-I mee-meet my mu-mum?" Harry sobbed out.
"Sure. Harry, of course." Albus assured.
Flitwick conjured up a bar of chocolate and held it in his palm towards Harry. "Child, you want some chocolate?" He squeaked.
Harry stopped crying so hard and sniffed as he looked to Severus for approval. When he saw Severus nod, he smiled and took the chocolate. "Thank you Pafesser." he said.
Flitwick smiled. "Anytime, Harry. Any time at all."
McGonagall smiled at Harry. "Would you like to see what Hogwarts is like? I can take you for a tour if you want me to!"
"Can I?" Harry asked Severus.
"Minerva, I'll let you take him only if you make sure he stays with you the entire time. I know how it is to be lost here and it isn't very exciting... especially with Peeves around." Severus said.
Harry smiled. "Thanks... Dad..." Harry said shyly, and he hugged Severus and took Minerva's hand while chewing on the chocolate bar slowly.
"We'll meet you guys in the Great Hall for supper...around 6?" Minerva asked before leading Harry out of the infirmary.
"Well, Severus, I must go. Good Bye." Flitwick said, walking out of the room quickly.
"He wants to meet Lily..." Severus muttered.
"She's in America, Severus. Do you want to see her again?" Albus questioned.
"Of course! I love her, Albus! I want to hold her in my arms again and just be there with her! But what if she's moved on? What if she doesn't love me anymore?" Severus answered.
"She does love you, Severus. I don't think she's got anyone else in her life. I can give you her location and you can take Harry to see her. If she wants, she can come back with you." Albus said.
Severus looked up sharply. "You know where she is?"
"Yes. I am her secret keeper."
"When can we go?" Severus asked immediately.
"In two weeks. We have to get your transportation ready, get you some muggle clothes, get Harry settled in, and have to get other things planned. DO you want her to know you're coming?" Albus said calmly.
"Yes. She has to be prepared." Severus said solemnly.
"Very well. I'll write to her explaining the predicament. You go make sure Harry's things are all ready and make use of the time you have to yourself while you can. I dare say, Severus, you will need it. Looks like Harry is a handful. Of course, you can always let Papa Albus take him for a while." Albus said, merrily.
"Papa Albus?" Severus questioned.
"A little nickname Lily used to have Harry call me when I visited. I believe that when she came over, Minerva was Auntie Minnie, Filius (AN: Filius is Flitwick) was Unkie Filly, and Sarah (AN: I don't know Professor Sprouts first name. If you know, please tell me,) was Auntie Rah" the Headmaster smiled as he stood up and walked out of the room with a "Good Bye, Felaw" over his shoulder.
"Moony!" Severus exclaimed as he ran to the teacher's wing towards the fire in his room.
He threw some floo powder in his fire and called "Lupin Loft" and was whisked away to his old friend's house.
Severus landed hard on the floor and was met by a very startled yell as his friend ran into the room with his wand out.
"Severus?" Remus Lupin asked as he helped Severus up.
"I haven't seen you in a while, Moony. I'm afraid little Harry is at Hogwarts." Severus said, sitting in a blue sofa near where Remus was sitting.
"Harry? Why? When? How?" Remus asked in a rush.
"Moony, I'm surprised. You're usually so calm... Harry's okay now. We told him who his parents really were He seemed to take it pretty well, because right now he's on a tour of the castle with Minerva. He wants to see Lily in the states, and we're supposed to go see her in two weeks, and I'm scared she won't love me anymore, and he's terrified of wands, he doesn't like human contact. He gets scared when more than two people are around, got beaten by the Durselys and I have no clue how to take care of a four- year-old!" Severus explained.
"I see... you say he's okay, right?" Remus asked.
"Physically. He still needs to eat, but otherwise he's ok." Severus said with a sigh.
"How well does he take to Felaw?" Remus asked with a mischievous glint in his eye.
"Felaw? I haven't thought of that."
"That's why you're here! If he's okay with Felaw, maybe he'll loosen up. I can see if I can still be Moony on will, and then he'll have Moony and Felaw to walk around with him. You know, help him adjust?" Remus said.
"Excellent. When can you be Moony?" Severus asked with the same glint in his eye.
"Give me five minutes and a room at Hogwarts and I'll say ASAP." Remus said, walking up the stairs to his cottage. _________________________________________
