A/N: Plenty of postings coming up.. in this chapter it mentions Dumbledore. This doesn't mean Albus. This is why I made two different references in the same paragraph to them. The first is Albus Dumbledore's brother.

Oh, all my hate cannot be found

I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming

So, you can try to tear me down

Beat me to the ground

I will see you screaming

Thoughtless- Korn

"You're late, Severusss.." The Dark Lord hissed upon his arrival.

"My apologies, my Lord," Bowing low. "It shant happen again."

"See to it." He said sharply, as Severus rose. He turned to join his circle when white hot pain surged throughout his every limb, every vein; on fire. Biting down on his cheek, and his tongue possibly (he did not know for sure), it prevented the one thing the Dark Lord found pleasure in. Screams of agony. "We are not done, Severus." A firm voice.

Severus had nothing to do but pull himself up, and hope for the best. He felt his mouth bloody, but did not spit. He swallowed his blood so that he would not disgrace his master.

"Severus, you are one of my most trusted in this circle, are you not?" It was more a statement than a question. Remembering back when he had brought Lily to him, and their conversation about loyalty, Severus merely nodded. "So, being one of my most trusted.." Oh! Merlin, he knows! He knows I am the spy. He keeps saying about my loyalty. Fear washed over his body, thinking over all the things he had wished he had done but did not.

"..You would tell me, Severus, if you had produced an heir. Wouldn't you?"

Wait, what?

The words sank in, and Severus's stomach dropped for the second time that night.

Oh... shit. How the hell does he know that?

Severus just remained still. Hoping he would keep talking, hoping that he would tell more information of what he knew of the subject. "Lucius! Come forth." He heard the swift movement of Lucius Malfoy; not even risking a glance at the man he had been close friends with all these years. "Tell Severus of the attack in Hogsmeade." The Dark Lord said almost pleasantly, entwining his long bony fingers.

Lucius spoke, and it only took seconds for Severus to realize it was the same day that his son had snuck out, and encountered Death Eaters in Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. Speaking over the same idea of events, he then brought something the boy had not. "The boy that ran from us, he left his card.. an Identification Card.."

All of a sudden, the Dark Lord read out loud, "Damon Snape, born June 31st, 1978. Sex: Male, Height: 6'2, Weight: 140 lbs." He then looked directly at Severus, and repeated, "You would tell me, Severus, if you had produced an heir.."

What to say.. what to say.. Would he believe you if you played dumb? What else do you have to loose? Would he believe you if you told the partial truth? Hmm..

"My Lord.. I-"

He was cut off. "Does Damon Snape exist or is this just a Weasley prank, Severus?" His anger rising. Pondering the second answer only briefly; he knew he would get into more trouble if he denied it.

"I only recently discovered he existed, my Lord.. since our last meeting, to be honest. His mother died, and he made contact. A letter, even so, I was shocked."

"Find him, Severus. Bring him to me."

Sitting down on the four-post bed, Harry drew the side sheets, and hastily glanced at the first document. A short letter.

Lily,

I cannot believe you are not sure if your child is James's or not, but even so, I will help you. I am after all, yours and James's best friend. I do not feel you should keep this secret from James. When is the baby due again? I would suppose the charms would have to be applied after the baby is born, and we see who the father is. - Sirius

Well, obviously he had to have agreed to the charms. Harry had been a different person only a short while ago. Taking the next parchment.

Sirius,

Thank you so much for agreeing to do this. If you had not, I'm afraid I would have to blackmail you on the subject of what you did to Peter, and blamed it on James. Yes, I do know that was you.

The baby is due July 31st of next year. And yes, the charms would be placed after the baby is born. Could do it before, but there are more risks, and it may not even be necessary. -Lily

The next few pieces of parchment were just letters between the two. They discussed the charms, which Harry found interesting. Then, he came to a document that looked very formal.

The Final Will and Testament of Sirius Orion Black.

Without even reading it, he got up and headed for Dumbledore's office.

Stumbling back into the school, Severus found his way up to the Headmaster's office.

"Severus!" He exclaimed. "Another meeting?"

Severus dropped to the chair, thankful for its soft cushions, and gave a nod. "He knows."

"He knows what, my boy?" Dumbledore asked confused.

"He knows I have a son." Without having to explain it, he tossed the ID at the old man's desk. The bewildered man, took it. He had been left out of the dark, but having seen the mysterious change in Harry, he recognized the identification card. Reading it in his head, and murmuring "Damon Snape.." under his breath, he closed his eyes to think.

In the meantime, the pain in Severus's body was not getting any less painful, so he cut right to the chase, "He wants to meet 'Damon Snape'."

Stating the obvious, Dumbledore said, "This cannot work, Harry is still going under the charms."

"Well, we will have to have him take them off." Snape sneered.

"For good, it would have to be. Of course, he'd have to agree to it.." He trailed. "Harry Potter could be sent to his relatives as Damon Snape enrolls."

"This card says he is eighteen." Snape pointed out tiredly.

"This card also says that Damon is part 'greasy git' in the fine print." Dumbledore said with a small smile. "Surely even Voldemort knows it is a fake. However, no one in the wizarding world would claim to be a Snape. Everybody knows the line is pure, and you are the last."

"Well, now that line is not so pure."

"So, it seems." Dumbledore agreed. "We will have Harry expelled from the school within twenty-four hours."

The door opened. "What?!" Speak of the devil...

"Harry! Come in! We were just talking about you!" Dumbledore said slightly amused.

"You cannot expel me because of what I did tonight! I don't want to go back to the Dursleys!" The boy said, worrisome.

Dumbledore gave the boy a look, and then Severus remembered. The boy had used two unforgivables and killed Kreacher! It was not entirely his fault. He is not able to control his magic, and if he got a thought, it would happen. It was Severus's fault for giving him that curse.

Severus covered for the boy. "Potter merely convinced me to take him to Grimmauld Place, and I know you said for his own protection that two of the Order must go along.." Waving any wonder aside, and casting the boy a glance; seeing the boy looked confused. "Harry Potter will be expelled from Hogwarts indefinitely. Damon Snape will enroll for the time being." Almost as if this explained the whole thing.

"Damon Snape?" The boy asked, almost as if he could not place the name.

Severus snapped, "It is your own fault for loosing your precious fake ID, Potter, now the Dark Lord knows I have a son, so you will play the part." His expression was just.. Oh.

"Will I have to be resorted?" The boy asked after awhile.

"Certainly!" Dumbledore said with a cheerful glimmer in his eyes.

"Oh..." The boy said, fidgeting, the parchment he had been holding rustled against his robes. He then was reminded of it. "I believe this is what we were looking for.." Handing the parchment to Dumbledore.

"Ahh! Sirius's will! Where was it?" Dumbledore asked.

"Kreacher." He said with no remorse, looking with hollow eyes.
