Harry looked up at dumbledore "why didnt you tell me?" he said bitterly, narrowing his eyes at the headmaster. dumbledore walked over to the window and looked out "ive only known since last night harry"

Deago was curled up behind hagrids house, sobbing to himself and hugging his knees. for one minute there hed thought he had a friend but now all that was history. he suddenly became aware of heavy footsteps and then a shadow looming over him. sniffing he looked up sadly to see hagrid "now whate we have 'ere then?" he said gruffly, fang his dog trotting over and licking deagos face. deago hugged the dog gently and stood up, wipping his eyes repeatedly and sniffling "yeh alrigh' lad?"
"yea...i...im fine..." he said quietly, hagrid put a club sized hand on his shoulder "well lets get ye' a cup o' tea lad"

snape hurried along the grounds of hogwarts towards towards hagrids hut, those blasted baby skrewts had been left in his office and had destroyed his stock of wolvesbane. he reached the door and knocked loudly "Hagrid!" he growled loudly, pale with anger. a few loud footsteps were heard and then the door opened to reveal hagrid holding a teapot "what is it eh?"
"those skrewts were left in my office hagrid and theyve destroyed my stock of wolves bane...do you know how much that co-" he was cut off when i hear sobbing in the background and leaned sideways to look past hagrid, seeing deago curled up on hagrids chair crying his eyes out. he froze, not quite sure how to react. the most alarming thing to him was hagrid had unknowingly invited the dark lords son into his home. he looked up at hagrid who was watching him "somthin' wrong there proffesor?"
he shook his head "uh-" he shook his head "get the skrewts removed, now if you dont mind i do have other things to do" deago looked up at him and looked away, wiping the tears quickly. he stood up and composed himself, leaving the building hastily. as he passed the proffesor he glanced at him with a whimper "dont tell dad..." he pleaded and then walked away towards the castle.
hagrids eyes returned to the proffesor with a quizical expression "what be goin on ere proffesor?" snape sneered "youll find out soon enough" and with that he left.

proffesor snape knocked on the headmasters office door and entered. harry and his friends had been long gone and dumbledore was sat behind his desk. he glanced up over his spectacles at the male whod entered "severus!" he said plesantly "im seeing alot of you lately arnt i now?" he chuckled and stood, walking over to snape "albus i think the staff need to know, i dont want someone getting hurt. and dont say they wont, you cant know that"
dumbledore sighed and looked down sadly, nodding a little "ok, tommorow morning...9oclock"
----
the next morning deago walked down towards the breakfast hall, pausing outside the doors...he so wished he didnt have to sit on the one table with harry and the rest...he knew hed just get upset again. he leaned back against the wall before going in and ran a hand through his hair, trying to get some confidence up. he turned and entered the room, locking eyes with harry for a moment, realising he had to sit with them to eat because thats where all the food was... he walked towards them cautiously, ron scooted away with a worried expression. deago sat as far as possible and put some food on his plate, eating slowly...feeling eyes resting on him. "I dont think theres anything wrong with him" blurted out hermiony "he didnt choose his father did you deago? so why cant we still be friends? honestly you two" deago looked to his side with a weak smile "its ok hermiony...thanks anyway" he said, harry sat glarring at him as he stood and walked dejectedly from the hall. hed go see the thestrals or something, animals always made him feel better...they didnt judge him.

the staff meeting was about to start. severus sat in his usual seat by the window, looking out at the falling snow. dumbledore entered the room "ah everyones here. lets start..." he paused to sit down and pour himself some tea "this meeting is rather important. you see a couple of days ago we discovered the darklord has a son and hes been attending hogwarts for quite some time now" the proffesors gasped and looked around, whispering to eachother "who is it?" minevera asked worriedly "Deago gryphon" hagrid yelped "yeh mean teh say i had you-know-who's son in me own home last night?" he exclaimed "albus this cant be safe" minevera interupted. "i beleive the boy to be rather kind personaly, though im unsure to his true nature. severus will be working with him as a death eater so he can help us decide on how safe the boy is".
they agreed that it was the best tactic "but dont act any different around him, atleast try not to"
