Daddy? 2

Harry clicked onto the main search engine on the website. On Search he selected Story by Summary and then he typed in Harry and father. After picking the correct category, he pressed 'go' and after the results had shown up, he scanned through them

"Harry discovers that James Potter was not his real father and in fact his father was none other than Sirus Black. Follow Harry through his new life as Harry Black…"

"James Potter is not Harry's father and Lily Potter is not Harry's true mother. Instead Harry's real parents are still alive but in hiding. One day, they manage to contact Harry and reveal who his real identity is. Meet Harry Dumbledore: great grandson of Albus Dumbledore."

"Have you found anything interesting?" asked Albus,

"Yeah," Harry sniggered, "well, the first one is great as it says my father is Sirus and I did count him as at least a father figure… And the one I've just found states that my 'real' parents are in hiding and are in fact, your grandkids therefore you're my great grandfather!"

Albus laughed. "That would be nice but no." He sighed. "I don't have any family apart from my teachers and students. With all the work I had to do in helping to and personally defeating Dark Lords, I never really had time…"

Harry didn't know what to say so he returned to his research.

A knock at the door startled both of the occupants ten minutes later.

"Ah Severus, come in, my dear boy!" called Dumbledore, once again displaying his uncanny way to know who was at the door without opening it first. It was a little scary.

The door opened and Snape walked in. Upon spotting Harry, he nodded and then turned to the Headmaster. Since the Final Battle, Harry and Snape had mellowed out a little towards one another and had learnt to regard one another as equals. They still weren't friends but they weren't enemies either. Harry gulped as he remembered the slash pairings between him and his professor and stared back at the computer screen.

"Albus, I have come to talk about my apprentice next year…"

Harry tuned Snape out and concentrated on his latest discovery. He had stumped upon a whole range of stories that all had the word Severitus included in all of the summaries. It obviously had something to do with Snape but what? Harry inserted the word into the search engine but there didn't seem to be any information. Just as he was about to give up, he noticed a summary that said "View my C2 Community for more Severitus!" Harry did just that.

In it, he found about 80 stories that all seemed to involve Harry and Snape in someway. He quickly skipped past the Snape/Harry fics throwing a glance at his professor who was still talking with the headmaster. It was then that he came across it:

"SEVERITUS CHALLENGE! Harry is Snape's son. How is the rest of the world going to react to the newly christened Harry Snape? For that matter how will Harry and Snape react to one another?"

Harry gave a strangled cry which made both of the professor's look up at him.

"What's wrong Potter?" asked Snape, impatiently, "are you going to continue making strange noises or will you let me continue my conversation?"

Harry couldn't speak and simply stared at his professor.

"Oh Harry! Have you discovered a new father?" asked Dumbledore, cheerily,

"What?" asked a very confused Snape,

"Well who is it?" asked Dumbledore,

"Why would he need a new father?" said Snape, "he's of age for Merlin's sake!"

"Shush Severus. Harry, what are you trying to say?"

"S…s…snape," stuttered Harry, "he's my f…f…father."

"WHAT?" screamed Snape, "What are you talking about Potter?"

"Hush Severus!" said Dumbledore,

"No I will not hush! Why is Mr. Potter telling me that I'm his father? I am most certainly not! I hate children!" screamed Snape,

"Prof…" began Harry, having finally been able to regain his voice,

"No Potter! What are you going to tell me now? That Lily Evans had a relationship with me?"

"Well that's what the story says," said Harry, without thinking,

"POTTER! I have never had a relationship with your mother and you are NOT my son! Is that understood?" Snape snarled, "Now, where are you getting this information from?"

"It's a website on the internet," supplied Dumbledore,

"A what?" said Snape,

"The internet is….well it's a Muggle thing and you can access it on the computers," said Albus, "and Harry has found this rather amusing website that has stories written all about us!"

"Fascinating," said Snape, sourly, "wait a minute. How do Muggles know about us?"

"Sit down Professor Snape," said Harry, motioning to the free seat next to him, "and I'll explain it all to you."

Thanks to Queenlover, korrd, MiSS-x-MoOnY, Supi-Chan and Lizzie-baka, jynkyg, GaryLovesPickles, Bookwork1313 (it's longer!), littleflower2004, AnjaliMalfoy, bec, Apple Pie, gl2004 (thanks for the advice), maliaphire (happy birthday!), Nixinox, Silver Sailor Ganymede, Bob the Amazing Immortal Bouncing Goldfish Lord of the Exploding Plastacine Chickens (nice name!) and Hermoine-Hermine.

OK, it's longer than the last chapter (in fact it's twice as long). About five chapters left I think, maybe six, if I get inspiration and then I can get it to a nice round twenty chapters!

Review please. Constructive criticism is gladly received.
