-Harry! -James says seeing his son enter his room
-Hello -Harry says uncertain how to act
-You're a man- James smile at his son- Come sit down- Lily and Harry sit opposite to him- Tell me a little more about yourself, Sirius told me that you are in the Slytherin and that you are friends with Malfoy's son – And that judgmental tone in his voice was the first of many mistakes he made during that conversation
-Draco, yes we are. We met at Hogwarts
-I understand, just be careful my son, they can ...
-Because you don't tell James about finally joining the Quidditch team last year
-Oh! Quidditch?
-Yes, I'm a seeker and Draco plays as a beater- Harry challenges his father to say something- But we only played for a year, there is the tri-wizard tournament at hogwarts this year
-Remus told me about it, who's winning?
-Cedric and Viktor are tied in first place- Harry
-The captains of Hogwarts and Drummstag- Lily, they spent a long time talking, Harry was starting to relax when James makes the worst mistake of all
-What are you enjoying most about school this year?
- Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape, he's been teaching Draco for years and he finally agreed to include me in
-Snape? Snivelous? -He asks turning to Lily- What is snivy doing at Hogwarts? And why are you letting him close to our son?
-Severus is the potions professor at Hogwarts, he is the head of the Slytherin house- Lily says in a hard voice
-It's Severus now, huh?
-He's a co-worker
-It's getting late, I think we should go- Harry says getting up- Bye, it was a pleasure- He leaves without saying anything else and waits for his mother outside
-You must be kidding me, Lily
-Dumbledore is the one who hired him, not me. Now I'll go after our son and try to explain why the father he just met insulted his favourite teacher for no reason
-For no reason?
-Next time try to control yourself- She says and leaves after saying goodbye
-I want to go home to be with my dad
-We will- When they got home there was silence- The children must be sleeping and Sev must be in the laboratory
-I go talk to him
-No, go take a shower, I'll send him to your room
-Okay- They separate their ways
-Hey!
-You came back early- Snape says still concentrating on his cauldron, there was little left for him to complete the stock he had to do to refill the infirmary, he usually had Lily's help and they would finish it in four days during the Christmas break and between a week and two during the holidays, but with Lily busy with James and him having to take care of the twins alone, he ended up delaying him a bit
-James fucked up and Harry wanted to leave
-Nothing new so far, what did he do?
-He spoke badly of you
-And how did I come up in your conversation? -He looks at her with raised eyebrows
-Harry commented on the occlumency sections and James didn't like it- Severus turns his attention back to his cauldron- Harry wants to talk to you now
-With me?
-I think he is unsure of approaching James for fear of hurting you, especially now that he has discovered that you are not the best of friends
-And you want me to assure him that there is no problem
-Exactly
-You finish up for me?
-Sure -She answers and he leaves going to the room of his eldest son and knocking on the door
-Come in -He sees the boy sitting on the edge of the bed with his hair wetting his shirt, Severus pulls out his wand and dries the boy's hair and clothes as many times before and sits beside him on the bed
-Your mother told me what happened, are you okay?
-Are you going to stop loving me now that he's back?
-There is nothing that will stop me from loving you Harry
-But you and James don't ...
-No, we don't like each other at all and I think that will never change, with our story it would be almost impossible and I'm not a forgiving person, but this has nothing to do with you
-How not?
-When your mom and I decided to be together there was a lot that prevented us one of them was my anger at Potter, she didn't know if I would be able to differentiate you from him and if I would end up discounting in you what I felt for him
-You never...
-I also had this fear until I decided not to see you as his son, but Lily's boy and since then I could see that I was able to live with you and take care of you without hard feelings and then you called me dad and it was so unexpected that my brain completely crashed and you know how hard that is- They laugh- And now it doesn't matter anymore, you are my son no matter what happens or who you approach, I never liked Black or Lupin too, have you seen me stopping you from visiting them?
-No, but it's different, you never had to share the role of father with him
-True, but I've been sharing with Potter since the beginning, you were the only one who didn't know, because you never met him
-So you have no problem with me approaching him?
-No, if that's what you want I'll support you, as long as you don't let his irresponsibility and Gryffindor tendencies influence you we'll be fine- He hugs his son who sighs in relief- Now to bed, sir- He says getting up and Harry gets up too and lie down and he helps him with the cover- How about I read you a story?
-I'm way too big for stories, dad
-Of course you are! -He says smiling and kisses his son's forehead- Good night- He gets up from the bed and turns off the lamp and leaves the room turning off the light as well and going to his room where he takes a quick shower and when he left Lily was only in a bathrobe with two mugs of tea
-How was it?
-Well, I said I had no problem with him approaching his father if that was what he wanted, he would have my full support
-I know it mustn't have been easy
-It wasn't, but I managed to control myself and not speak ill of him
-Not even a little bit?
-Maybe a little- He says pulling her by the waist and kissing her
-I'm proud of you- She smiles
-How do you get more beautiful with each passing day?
-So gallant, Sev! Who could imagine? Besides me of course
-No one, I'm sure- He takes her mug from her hand and puts them on the dresser, slowly opens her robe admiring everything in front of him, she helps him take off his shirt and kneels to take off his pants , when getting up she glues her body to his during the entire journey and when she was already standing she could already feel him rigid against her belly, he bent down to kiss her, running his hand over her body he her took her buttocks, lifting her, making her cross her legs over his body and then he takes her to the bed.
-So how did it go with your father? -Hermione asks when they were back at Hogwarts express
-Strange, but it is getting better, we are getting to know each other
-And what do you think?
-I do not know, he often seems to forget that he is my father, he treats me as if he were treating one of his friends, which would not be exactly a problem if it weren't for the fact that sometimes it seems that I am the responsible one among us
-He's trying to win you over, he must think that the easiest way to win you is by giving you freedom- Draco
-It may be, but it is tiring nonetheless
-There is the fact that despite being your father, he was twenty-two years old only when he fell into a coma
-There's that too
-I'm just trying to move on. Our relationship will develop over time the way it has to be.
-I heard that Professor Flitwick is thinking about retiring
-I can't say he will be missed
-Sev! -She scolds him- Anyway, I was thinking about as soon as the year is over I start my mastery in charms, which should take about two to three years, then I'll come back here when he retires, the twins will already be here anyway
-That was what you wanted when you were younger, wasn't it? -He takes advantage of being in the confines of his rooms to pull her to sit on his lap
-Yes
-So you already have a plan for the next years- She smiles and kisses him
It was the second task to be performed and everything goes well, with Cedric winning the race and taking the lead. After the test was over and everyone was leaving, Harry decided to go and talk to his father and went to his office to wait for him. When he got there he saw that his father's pensive had memories inside and his curiosity spoke louder and he dived in without knowing that it would seal the future of his relationship with his blood father.
Harry witnessed everything, or at least a large part, of what James Potter and the rest of his gang got his father through, from the trap so that his father met a completely transformed werewolf, who was none other than Remus Lupin, put into practice. By Sirius Black. He couldn't be more disappointed with his family, he saw what his father said to his mother, but he already knew that story, what he didn't know was that he had that reaction because of the stress and pain and humiliation that he was passing and that all that had been caused by his other father.
The man who to Harry was nothing more than his progenitor had caused his father so much pain. He comes out of the pensieve and stands in the middle of the office not knowing what to do next, when he hears voices coming from the classroom behind the door.
Snape was preparing some things that would be needed for his next classes when the door was brutally opened
-Potter, to what do I owe this dubious honour? -He asks without even turning to face him
-Snivy...
-I prefer that you demonstrate the minimum maturity possible and contain yourself
-I want you away from Lily and my son
-You know that I am the Head of Slytherin, the house where YOUR son belongs, ironic, isn't it? I remember what you thought of the Slytherins, do you think the same about your son now? -He says with his dark tone without changing it at any time- And as for Lily, she is a co-worker
-I want you away from my family, Snape
-You don't have much to do about it at the moment, because you don't come back when neither of them are in Hogwarts anymore, now get out of my classroom before I shove that stick of yours between your bottom
-You're warned, you'll have me and the rest of the marauders to deal with if you get close to them
-I wasn't afraid of you when we were students, I'm not afraid of you now, out! -Potter with a last glare leaves, Snape decided to finish later and go to his office- Harry! What are you doing here?
-I wanted to spend some time with you
-How much did you hear?
-Everything -Severus sits on his couch with Harry beside him, only then did he notice his pensieve
-Did you see the memories?
-Yes
-We will have to have a conversation about privacy later, young man
-How can you look at me and not remember everything he put you through? How can you support me to get closer to him? -He says getting up and starting to walk around, restless
-You have your mother's eyes
-What?
-It's how I do it, I look at you and I don't see him, you have your mother's eyes, besides I know you and know that you have nothing to do with those memories- He stops to think a little about what to say next , he knew that Potter's relationship with Harry depended in large part on how that conversation would go, he cannot deny that the urge occurred to him to oppose and end everything, but he couldn't, Lily was going to be disappointed. Besides that he had made a promise- Sit Harry! -The boy hesitates for a second, but then he obeys- As for my support, you are already beginning to understand what happened in my past, why of all this secret, that is because of mistakes I made when I was much younger and my situation was not the best
-But they hurt you- Harry protests and Severus smiles at his son's protective attitude
-I know, by no means am I justifying what they did, what I'm saying is for you to give him a chance, at least- He couldn't believe what he was talking about- Look at your uncle for example, he still is arrogant, but he is no longer cruel, try to know your father and then, but only then decide if you want him to continue in your life or not
-Even if he wants to keep you away from us?
-Nothing will make me stay away from you, your mother or your siblings, apart from death
-I love you, dad- He says and hugs the teacher who returned- Why did you take off those memories?
-To facilitate occlusion, I knew that today would be a complicated day, having to see Potter beside your mother with you and the twins, but I knew that I couldn't do anything and that I had to maintain neutral posture, so I putted the memories in the pensieve
-But you are a master in occlusion
-True, but emotions and their control is a fundamental part and love and anger are the most difficult to control, I could maintain control without removing the memories, but why go through all the exhaustion that I would go through if I can make it easy with the pensieve – After that they finally spend time without caring about the difficulties that their lives were becoming.
I know it has been a while and that my updates are being very apart from each other and sometimes it make people lose intereste, but life is erratic sometimes, I am using this as a forma to keep my English as best as I can so I try to translate it all by myself, without translating it all in Google translate and just correcting, that is why I take so long, I won't make any promises I just hope you all keep coming back whenever I am able to post. Thank you for those still here and until next time.
Funkyshnelpu Jr: thank about the review and I am glad that you think it is interesting and about the quatation marks I apologize, here we use – as a indicative of speach and when I am translating I always forget about it, I will try to change it in the next chapters
