Chapter 5

Harry's detention; Snape's office

"Shut up, you infernal brat! You are in MY domain and while you are, however painful it is you SHALL respect me. Understand?"

"Yes, sir"

"Good"

"Professor, I have something to tell you. But I do not think that you would believe my words, so I'll show you instead." Harry pulled out a mini- pensieve from his person.

"Where on earth did you get that from? Snape spat.

"Professor Dumbledore lent it to me, sir. I asked him..."

"Alright, enough of your drivel! Lets get on with this memory so I can punish you for being disrespectful to teachers." (A/N: Take this anyway you want it! Hehehe me with my 1-track mind!)

Harry transported a silvery-white thread from his head to the dish. "Sir, I think it would be best if you were to see this alone."

"Why, are you scared of your own memories?"

"Some yes sir." Snape is too shocked for words.

"And which memories would these be Mr Harry?"

"Memories, which at the moment have no bearing on you sir."

At this point Snape swirled the liquid in the mini-pensieve and put his head in to see the memory.

FLASHBACK

Harry woke up abruptly to the sound of voices.

"Where am I?"

"Alexis, you are at Hogwarts."

"Why, do you call me Alexis, my name is Harry?"

"No, Alexis is your real name given to you before you born."

"Umm, okay. Why are you all wearing strange clothing?"

"Alexis, you have been brought back in time to right some wrongs that were done to your family and friends because of certain elements in your world. I am Salazar Slytherin and these people with me are Rowena Ravenclaw, Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff. I believe you recognise these names."

"No, you can't be. I can't be here. I am from the 21st century. I do not go back in time to meet the founders."

"But Alexis, you do as you can see. Now a few home truths I think are needed. What do you know of your parents?"

"Not very much. My father was James Potter and my mother was Lily Evans. At least they were until October 31st when Lord Voldemort came and killed them and then tried to kill me and failed."

"Ahh, I see. Alexis, James and Lily Potter were not your REAL parents, merely surrogate ones. "

"No, I don't believe you sir. I look just like my father but with my mother's eyes. I do not believe you. Stop telling me lies."

"I am sorry Alexis, but it is you who is telling lies. But only because you have been told them by others. Yes, you look like your supposed parents but have you not ever wondered why you look just like a carbon copy of James except for the eyes. Your current image is not your image but an image that has been forced upon you, without your knowledge."

"If I were to believe all of this, how am I supposed to look and who are my real parents? Why didn't they care enough to come after me?"

"Alexis, your parents will be a shock to you. I do not know if you can protect yourself from the feelings that will arise from the truth."

"Sir, I will protect myself from anything necessary. I have always had to growing up the way I did. Nothing you could tell me would damage my protective instincts in any way, shape or form."

"Okay then, if you wish to know I shall tell you. But please call me either Salazar or Sal, after all I am calling you by your first name. Your mother was a woman by the name of Cosette Price, but you may know her by her current name... Marcia Black. Your father is a man who you are well acquainted with... Severus Snape."

END OF FLASHBACK

Severus stayed in the memory for a few moments after it finished to collect both his thoughts and his feelings. He was filled with grief, anger and pride. Grief for losing his wife and son, anger for missing his so-called dead son growing up and pride for him standing up to Salazar Slytherin, one of his ancestors.

"You lie. I don't believe you!" Severus snarls at Harry. "If this is some kind of trick Potter, you shall wish you never came into the world and saw the light of day. Now get out of my sight before I gag from your presence."

"Yes sir." Harry walks over to the door and just before he is about to exit he turns and says, "I already wish that sir. I think it would be best if I were to transfer to another school. After all it shall be awkward for you sir, having to see me day in, day out. I shall go and speak to the Headmaster immediately to prevent any extra heart-ache for you, sir."

Once Harry has left, Severus returns to his sitting room and pulls out an emergency bottle of firewhisky.

"Well this definitely serves as an emergency, Severus you nitwit!" He mutters to himself.

"After finishing that bottle and two bottles of an unknown alcoholic drink, Severus was just about drunk, when he realised that Harry was HIS son, and he was also in progress of moving schools, because he thought that he, his father didn't want him.

"Merlin! What have I done?"

(Shall I leave it here readers?) {Readers get out Ak-47s, prepare to shoot at Chantale} (Okay, okay. I'll keep going!)

Meanwhile with Harry

"So how was the detention with Snape then Harry?" Ron asked

"Oh, you know the usual."

Harry is very sad and feeling depressed. Ron sees this and so he asks Harry, "Do you want to go play some quidditch one on one?"

"I love to!" Harry half-smiles at the thought of flying! 'I always feel better after flying. I find it very calming and relaxing! Its good that Ron thought of it so I'll have some company.' Then after a minute he thought, 'At least my friends want me to stay. My father didn't even say a word against me transferring when I told him. I guess having a father isn't all that I cracked it up to be.'

Ron and Harry proceed outside with their broomsticks to get some practise but also to relax and cheer a certain Gryffindor Golden boy up.

30 minutes later

"Harry Potter, you get down here right now! And bring that oaf of a friend with you as well."

Harry and Ron descend from the sky and land by Madame Pomfrey.

"What in the world made you decide to discharge yourself from the Hospital Ward without seeing me and then go and play Quidditch without my okaying it first? You sneak out in the middle of the night, hide from me all day and then go flying when you may pass out again." Madame Pomfrey is extremely angry with Harry. That is until she gets to Ron. "And you Mr. Weasley, did you not feel the need to come and tell me Harry was back with his classmates? And what in the world possessed you to allow him to go on his broom without a clean bill of health, and fly it so high? For all you know he could have passed out again and we might now be picking his brains, blood and organs off the pitch! You have both acted in a very irresponsible manner, unbecoming of your age. Go to Professor Dumbledore's office immediately and then Mr Potter you come and see me so that I can give you a clean bill of health. Capice?"

"Yes, Madame Pomfrey." The two boys droned, before trudging off to Professor Dumbledore's office with their brooms in hand.

They get to the gargoyle entrance to the Headmasters office and it opens automatically without either of them having to give a password. And the odd thing was that no one had come down the steps either.

knock knock

"Enter" On seeing the boys, the headmaster says, "Ahh Mr Weasley, Mr Potter. Would either of you care for a lemon drop?"

"Umm, no thank you sir," said Harry.

"No thank you professor," said Ron.

"Sit down, sit down!" Harry and Ron sit on the two soft pink armchairs provided by Professor Dumbledore. "While I was expecting to see you Mr Potter, I was not expecting to see Mr Weasley. Why are you both here?"

"Well you see professor, Harry left the Hospital Wing without the right authority and I didn't know and we went and played quidditch..."

"Ahh, yes quite understandable my boys."

"When Madame Pomfrey caught us and told us off very badly and although you may both be surprised at this, I would like to transfer to another wizarding school. I was thinking maybe the Irish Institute of magic or one of the schools in America."

"HARRY! You can't leave. We'd miss you too much."

"Be that as it may Ron, I need to leave. The heartbreak outweighs all goodness left here. Around me."

"Mr Potter, I would like you to think long and hard about this. Once a decision is made you cannot go back."

"Professor, I have thought about this thoroughly both today and yesterday when I was asleep and I think that it would be best all round if I left. I do not wish to leave my friends and you have been like a grandfather to me and Hagrid an uncle, but there are too many bad memories here, which are all connected to me. If I can not get into another school, I shall simply study on my own, defeat Voldemort and if I live, return to the muggle world."

"Harry, my boy. I am glad that you think of Hagrid and I in this way but I must once again ask you to reconsider."

"I am sorry professor. My mind is made up."

"Well then, I shall send owls to the schools you mentioned. I see no reason why they would not accept you after all the boy-who-lived would be an asset to any school. However, if you should change your mind, which I sincerely hope you do, please come and tell me. You are both free to go."

Ron and Harry leave the office. As they are going down, Harry tries to apologise to Ron. "I am truly sorry, Ron. You are one of my best friends with Nev and Mione and I would love for us to be together always but I need to do this for my own sanity at the very least. I hope you understand and forgive me."

"Just answer me this, Harry. Is Gin any part of the reason why you are leaving?"

"Ron, she's your sister. I'm not going to answer that. I will not be the cause of a fight between any of the Weasley children."

"I'll take that as a yes then. You had better go and see Madame Pomfrey now before she finds us and bites our heads off again. I'll see you later in the common room, all right?"

"Yes, okay. I'll see you there."

They both head off in different directions. Harry to the Hospital wing and Ron to Gryffindor tower to tell Nev and Mione and have a few choice words with his sister.

Hospital Wing

"Well you seem to be fine Mr Potter, but you still shouldn't go off without knowing. Okay?"

"Yes ma'am. I was wondering if you could do me a favour?"

"What kind of favour were you thinking of Mr Potter?"

"Umm, well I was wondering if you would do a paternity test on me. You see I'm leaving soon and I want someone to have that test before I go,"

"A strange request, but I will comply." The school medi-witch pointed her wand at Harry, and said "revelos paternos" "Now we shall wait two minutes for the results to be recorded and printed."

While back in the Gryffindor Common Room

"GINEVRA WEASLEY, GET YOUR BUTT DOWN THESE STAIRS. NOW!"

"Oh, my dear brother, what can I do for you on this fine day?"

"Let me make it even more nicer for you. Harry is leaving because of you."

"Excuse me? What did you just say?"

"Do you not understand English now as well as boys? HARRY IS LEAVING BECAUSE OF YOU. Leaving as in transferring schools to another COUNTRY."

"Merlin! What have I done?"

"Ron, you didn't say what I think you just said did you?" Said Mione, flanked by Nev.

"Harry's not leaving? You're just joking around with us Ron!" Said one of the twins, surrounded by the rest of Gryffindor house.

"Yes, Harry is leaving. He just asked Professor Dumbledore for a transfer to either the D.I.M. or one of the schools in America. And my dear old sister here, is part of the reason why he's leaving, and I bet Snape's part of it too, after all this comes out of the blue just after he's had detention with Snape? Its too much a coincidence for me!"

"And just what is a coincidence Mr Weasley?" asked Professor Snape you had just walked in.

"Why, Harry asking for a transfer just after he's had detention with you sir."

"He did what? That foolish boy! Right all of you scatter, I'm sure you all have homework you can be doing and if not I'm sure I can set you all some extra to do. Don't look so pleased at the prospect Ms. Granger." Snape said not even looking at Mione's face. If he had of done he would have only seen sadness, heartbreak and the beginning of depression."

Snape leaves the room with his robes billowing around him. Five minutes after he's left Hedwig taps on the window and is let in by one of the students. She then flies in to Ron with a not from Harry. The note reads like this... 'Ron, meet me in the Great Hall for dinner in five minutes. Bring Nev and Mione with you. We need to talk. Harry.' Ron gathered up Nev and Mione and they all traipse downstairs to meet Harry.

All the way through dinner, Draco Malfoy was staring at Harry. Rumours were flying around the school centred on him leaving and going elsewhere. While he might not show it he hoped they were not true for after all, Harry was the only match for him.

Just at the end of dinner, just as the four were about to leave having finished their meals under close scrutiny by the rest of the school and evener closer scrutiny by Professors Snape and Dumbledore and of course Harry's Arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy a strange black hawk entered the hall carrying a letter for no-one other than Harry. The hawk was recognised by only one person. Snape. He had seen it many times while receiving letters from Cosette. Harry not knowing whom the envelope came from, but knowing the wards kept any mail with evil intentions and most of the mail from Harry's fans out, used a levitating charm to levitate it in the air while he checked it for jinxes, curses and anything else that may have been put on it. Finding it all clear, he pocketed the envelope to open later.

Okay so who loves me? I wrote nearly SEVEN pages!!! And its one o'clock in the morning! Please, please, please review or you won't find out what happens next! Mwah ha ha evil laugh Mean Snape, denying his only son, making him move school!
