Chapter 2

"Well, can we come in?" Snape asked Harry.

"Huh? Oh, sure." Harry replied. He wanted to hear what Snape had to tell him so badly.

" Come on Alex." Snape said to the girl. They followed Harry inside where Harry pointed to a couch and Snape and the girl, Alex, sat down. Harry sat in a chair across from them and stared at Snape.

"Well?" Harry said.

Snape looked hesitant then started to talk. " Harry, this may come as a shock to you, it sure did to me, but you really need to know." He said slowly.

" Well, tell me then." Harry replied, growing steadily impatient.

" Well Harry...I'm your father." Snape said.

Harry felt as if all the wind had been knocked out of him. He felt very woozy and gripped the sides of the chair for support before staring at Snape again. " Y-you're my...but they all told me James was. I have pictures to prove it and everyone else remembers that he is my father." Harry stammered out, not ready to believe that Snape was his father. He saw that Alex girl smile slightly.

"No-" Snape began.

" He was my dad." Alex said, cutting Snape off.

" Exaclty." Snape said, speaking again before Alex could cut him off. " Now Harry, I will need to listen now and ask questions after, okay?" He waited for Harry to nod before he started talking again. " Well, Lily and I started going out in our 6th year at Hogwarts. When we got out of school, we moved in together and after a while had you. But, I never knew until last night that you were my child because she left me before you were born. Then, when you were almost two, she had Alex." he gestured to the girl sitting to next to him who gave Harry a small smile. "But," he continued. " she put a charm on you so you would look like James' son and not mine. She also said Alex was mine even though she looks more like Lily and James."

Snape stopped talking for a moment and Harry took a good look at Alex. She did infact look alot like Lily, except for her eyes, they were hazel, like James'. And her hair, was a deep red, almost blood red, a sure combo of the two hair genes her parents gave her.

" But Alex came to live with me," he continued once again and Harry turned his attention back to Snape. " and I sent her to Salem Academy for the past 3 years. This fall she will start at Hogwarts. Well, that's it. Any questions?" Snape asked.

Harry shook his head no. He was still taking in all the information he had just learned. 'So Snape is my father. My real father.' He thought. ' All these years my real father has been alive and in front of me. He has been the evil, greasy old bat...' He looked at Snape and Alex for a moment to find them staring around his apartment. ' Well, this will prove to be interesting.'

" Well, I am going to leave you and Alex to catch up." Snape said walking towards the door. " I shall be back in two hours. Behave yourself Alex." he said and then was gone.
