Explanations againWhat seemed to be ages later, both men were shaken out of their stupor by the flaring of the fireplace. As they turned towards it, the headmaster's head appeared.
"Severus, you're back! Now would you care to explain what you meant by going to get your son? I didn't know you even had one. But of course, if he's your son, he'll be welcome to stay here. Oh hi there, Harry, I didn't see you." With that Dumbledore did a double take. "Harry? What are you doing here? Wait a minute! Severus? What is the meaning of this? What is Harry Potter doing in your chambers? During summer holidays, when he's supposed to be with his family?"
"A good day to you too, Albus, why don't we come up to your office and explain everything? I mean if that's okay with you, Harry?" And with that Severus looked expectantly at his son. Dear Merlin, his son! It had been years since he had allowed himself to think about the boy like that. It just felt so ... right to think of him like that. He just hoped Harry would one day consider seeing him as a parent.
"Yeah, fine by me, I mean, he'll have to find out sooner or later, won't he? Well, then I'd rather have it be sooner than later. Who knows what he'll come up with if we don't tell him?" Harry looked at his father. His father! Merlin, he had a father! He just hoped that maybe, maybe that little display of emotions earlier meant that his father, the man he remembered calling Papa when he was just a baby, was willing to make this work somehow. Then he would have a real parent again, a family, instead of a bunch of people who just couldn't stand him (by which he meant the Dursleys).
The small family made its way up to Dumbledore's office in silence. Just before they entered, Severus turned towards his son. "Look, Harry, I know there's still a lot I have to explain, and you probably have a whole bunch of questions left, but please don't ask them in there. I will answer your questions in due time, when we are in private."
Harry looked down at the floor and muttered a quick "okay Papa." He wanted to make Snape like him, so the man would not mind that he had the 'Boy-Who-Lived' as a son. So he wasn't going to do anything to upset the man.
Dumbledore looked up when Severus entered, Harry in tow. When he saw Severus sit down, inviting Harry sit in the chair next to him (witch the boy did almost before the invitation was given), his eyes began to twinkle blindingly. "Well, Severus, care to explain?"
"Well, headmaster, I don't think there's much to explain. I told you I was going to get my son, to bring him to stay with me, and I did, as you can notice," he said, while indicating the young man sitting next to him.
"And would you care to explain how Harry here would have come to be your son? Because last time I checked, he was still the very image of James Potter. So how could he be yours in stead of James's?"
"But headmaster, whenever did you hear me tell you that James wasn't Harry's father? I would never dream to insinuate something like that."
"Now I'm afraid I'm not following anymore Severus. Didn't you just tell me you're Harry's father? How can you be, if James is too?"
"Headmaster, don't tell me you don't remember that some pureblood families are capable of male pregnancy? Surely you must have heard of it in the past."
"But, what about Lily, she was James' wife and I saw her pregnant with the child."
"What you saw, headmaster, were a couple of strong charms, that apparently even convinced you of the fact Lily was pregnant. In reality it was me who carried Harry, and I made sure to stay well hidden. As to James' marital state, he was married to me, making the very public wedding he held with Lily to fool everyone, null and void. Give it up Albus, Harry's mine, and after all this time I don't plan on giving him up again."
"Well than, I guess congratulations are in order. Although I would like to know why you didn't claim him when he was a baby. You both would have prospered much more, if you'd had had each other."
"You know as well as I do, Albus, that I couldn't have claimed him back then. They would never have given me custody over their precious 'Boy-Who-Lived'. I was suspected of being a death eater, for Merlin's sake. Even if I was a spy. And I had to keep him as safe as possible. I had to keep him alive. If that meant leaving him with Lily's relatives, and never acknowledge him, than so be it. The only reason I went to get him now, was because of Petunia's letter. And of course because the charms will wear off on his birthday."
"And what was the letter about, if it made you decide to collect your son? And why did she send it to you? Did she know?"
"Let's just say, that Harry had a hard time dealing with Sirius' death. And no, she didn't know anything. But she send off Hedwig with a letter to the person who would care most. Therefore, the owl instinctually came to me. Upon reading the letter, I knew the time had come to claim him. I just hope he will be able to someday forgive me for everything I did to him, even if I only did it to keep him safe."
"Well then Severus, I guess there's nothing more I wish to ask you at this moment. The wards on Harry will be transferred on you, so he will be safe even if he didn't spend the necessary amount of time at the Dursleys. However, we shall speak of this in the future, be sure of it. I want to know more details. But I realise you need some time with your son right now."
"Come on Harry, let's go back to our chambers. Oh, headmaster? Could you arrange for a room for Harry to be added to my chambers?"
"Of course, Severus. Now run along. I have arrangements to make, and a lot of work to do."
