Severus heart swell in happiness when he heard his son called him papa. But the elation he felt quickly turned into panic when he realized what his son was saying, much more when Harry suddenly went limp in his arms.
He quickly checked for his pulse, heartbeat, and breathing and sighed in relief when he made sure that the young wizard just lose his consciousness. He immediately gathered Harry in his arms once again and gently lift him up intending to take him straight to the infirmary. He didn't paid any concern to everyone around him, he was certain that others was following him but he couldn't careless. His priority now was to make sure his son was alright.
When he reached the infirmary he immediately called for Poppy who rushed from her office upon hearing him. She gasp when she saw Harry unconscious in the potion master's arms.
"Lay him here, Severus," she immediately instructed gesturing on one of the empty beds.
"The poor boy. what happen to him this time?" she inquired as she started casting diagnostic spell to Harry.
Severus who was standing beside his son's bed and couldn't even hide his worry for the young wizard relayed everything that happened in the great hall just a while ago. He hesitated for a moment then decided to confide to her as well his suspicion if it could help his son in what ever he was going through right now.
Poppy pursed her lips as she listened to the potion master as he told her what had happened during the chosing of the triwizard champion. She was horrified when Severus told her that Harry's name came out of the goblet of fire. A fourteen year old wizard participating in the triwizard tournament was unacceptable to her, especially if the said fourteen years old young wizard was Harry Potter. He was quite fond of the young boy and she very muah disagree of letting the green eyed wizard participate. It was too dangerous, and everytime the tournament was being held, there's always some one who had died or got severely injured. She was glad that Harry behemently refused to participate. And she could see that the potion master was in agreement with her. She could also see how worried the potion master was for the young wizard. His mask of indiference was no where to be found. Even his famous scowl he always wore was nonexistence. She had no idea what cause the change, but she wasn't going to complain..
On the other hand she was displeased to found out that the other professors seems wiling to let Harry participate. Especially to Minerva for immediately assuming that the young green eyed gryffindor did indeed cheated and place his name on the cup. How could she do that to her own lion. Especially Harry.
When Severus confided to her about his suspicion she immediately cast a much thorough scan. She inwardly berated herself for not even noticing something was wrong. The boy was always in her infirmary but she hadn't noticed. What kind of healer she was?
When the scans was completed there's a long parchment appeared from thin air. Poppy snatched it out and thoroughly read it. What she had read she knew would be forever be ingraved in her mind. She stared at the piece of parchment horrified, she was aware that her hands were shaking, or maybe not just her hands but her whole body and all her blood drained from her face. "Oh mother magic, help us," she whispered softly as she turned and looked at the now worried sick potion master.
Severus watched silently as Poppy she began reading her scan's result. He started to panic once more when he saw the mediwitch suddenly paled drastically and began shaking as she stared at the parchment wide eyed.
"Poppy, what's wrong?" he inquired immediately.
Poppy looked at Severus her eyed filled with unshed tears that made the potion master even more distressed.
"Oh Severus," Poppy cried mournfully as she chocked back a sob.
Not having the patience to wait anymore he just plucked the parchment from her trembling hand to read it himself. But the moment he laid his eyes on what was written on the piece of parchment he had wished he hadn't.
He suddenly felt like everything around him was spinning. And all his strength left his body as he sunked down weaked knees on the chair beside his son's bed still staring at the parchment in horror
He close his eyes trying to stopped his tears from streaming down his face. But the thought of losing another child when he just found him made his heart clenched painfully. He finally lose control of his emotions and burst in a heart wrecking sob as he clutched the young gryffindor's hand tiightly againt's his own, unaware that his magic was already lashing out destroying everything around them.
Poppy could do nothing but cast a shield for herself as she watched the clearly devastated potion master in shocked. The last time she had seen him like this was when he got into miscariage when he was nineteen. She never found out who the other father was, all the potion master said was that the other father broken up with him.
She could say that Severus really love who ever that man was as he took their separation very hard. The potion master drown himself in alcohol that had cause the miscariage. The potion master was so devastated at that time. She was very certain that he blame himself for the lose of his child. That he hadn't know he was carrying at that time And the way the potion master was reacting now one would think that he was losing another child once again.
she was starting to become terrified when so many minutes had already pass but the potion master still hadn't calmed down when the infirmary door suddenly shattered into a million pieces, the matron sighed in relief when the head master strode in his own shield was up.
Albus just arrived outside the infirmary when he noticed Harry's best friends standing worriedly in front of the door.
" Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasley why are you both here outside?" he asked as he approached them curious as to why they hadn't entered already.
"Professor, we can't go in. The door immediately locked right after Professor Snape entered with Harry," replied the young witch as she glanced at the door worriedly.
The headmaster's responce was interupted when a loud crash was heard from inside the infirmary , followed by another one, then another one.
"It's better for you two to go back to gryffindor tower for now," suggested the headmaster as he tried to unlock the infirmary door.
"But professor" protested the two gryffindor
"I promise to inform you both immediately about Harry's condition right after I talked to Poppy," assured the headmaster to them both.
With a heavy heart the two gryffindor agreed and leave hoping that their friend was alright. Meanwhile, realizing that Severus magic was so powerful when he lock the door that the only way to get in to the infirmary was to destroy the door completely.
Albus stepped back a little away from the door his wand pointing to the lock door. Then he shouted " BOMBARDA MAXIMA," with in second the infirmary door shattered into million pieces. But he stumbled a bit when he was hit by the potion master's raw magic that was currently destroying the entire hospital wing.
He quickly cast a strong shield and strode inside the infirmary and stopped dead on his track at the scene infront of him.
Harry was lying on the bed motionless, his skin so pale but covered with old and new bruises and scars. Beside him was his usually stoic and impassive potion master crying his heart out while clutching the unconscious young gryffindor's hand like a lifeline.
What had happened for the potion master to react this strongly, the headmaster thought to himself. He knew even the potion master was always harsh to young Harry he was certain that deep inside he cared so much for the young gryffindor. He was dreading to know the reason for Severus to show such strong emotion .
His musing was interupted when he felt the potion master's uncontrolled raw power was getting much stronger. He was afraid that if this continue further that the whole hospital wing would be destroyed beyond repair,and that someone might actually get hurt. So with a little hesitation he pointed his wand to the emotional wreck potion master and then whispered a sleeping spell. As soon as the spell hit it's target he immediately went limp and all of a sudden everything had calmed down. The headmaster then levitated the now sleeping potion master beside the unconscious young gryffindor as all the other beds was destroyed.
"Thank merlin you arrive Albus, I don't know what to do with him anymore," said the obviously terrified mediwitch.
"Are you alright Poppy? What happened? How was Harry? The headmaster inquired
At the mentioned of the young gryffindor. Poppy suddenly dissolve into tears "Oh Albus, It was so horrible," cried the mediwitch as he reached for the parchment that Severus was still holding and handed it to the headmaster.
Albus accepted the parchment with trepidation. Taking a deep breath he slowly unfold and read the parchment but immediately close his eyes as he clutched his chest, he felt as though he was having a heart attack. 'oh merlin, what have I done?' he thought mournfully.
Poppy quickly rushed towards the headmaster when she saw he as well was about to collapse. "Albus, are you alright?" she asked as she let him to a chair she transfigured.
Albus willed himself to calm his erratic heart. Now was not the time to willow in his guilt and regret, there's so much more pressing matter at hand. Now he fully understood Severus unexpected reaction.
"Im fine, Poppy don't mind me. Please send a message to 's asked them to bring their best healer here," replied the headmaster.
"I will, Albus. But what are we going to do to Severus?" asked the mediwitch glancing at the now sleeping potion master. "the last time I saw him like this was when he was nineteen. When a house elf brought him here. He was so devastated when he found out about the miscariage," said Poppy remembering what happened all this years ago.
Albus stared at the mediwitch in a sudden realization. All of a sudden he abruptly stood up and pointed his wand toward the unconscious young gryffindor.
"Albus, what are you doing?" asked the startled mediwitch, but the headmaster didn't respond instead he whispered "parentes revelare,"
A black smoke appeared above Harry, then slowly it started forming into words that shocked both the headmaster and the mediwitch
Birth name: Harrison Severus Potter-Snape

Parents name
mother (bearer) James Potter (soul bonded)
Father (sire) Severus Prince Snape (soul bonded)
Bonded on 25th of december 1976
Lily Evans (sibling by blood adoption)
Hermione laid on his bed heavy hearted. She was so worried for Harry. He was her brother in anything but blood, same with Ron. The three of them considered each other as siblings. She had no idea what was happening, but whatever it was she was certain that it was something big, and she was praying to every God and deity that her brother would be alright.
She sighed heavily as she stood up to check on Ron when the book Harry had been reading dropped on the floor. She hadn't realized that she was still carrying the book with her.
Curious as to what was the book Harry had been intently reading since the start of term she picked the book from the floor and opened it but she was surprised when she realized it wasn't really a book but a journal.
She knew she shouldn't be reading this and invading his friends privacy. But she suspected that she would found out in this journal the reason for Harry's sudden change.
She sat back on her bed and started skimming the journal. She found out that it belong to Harry's dad, James. She continued on skimming when an entry caught her eye. The page was slightly crumpled, there's a lot of blotched of ink, and she was certain that the other marks on the parchment was a tears stain.
With little hesitation she began reading the entry
*He was gone. Sev was gone, and it's all my fault. I should have followed my instinct and not let him go that night he was summoned. But I let him go, and now he was dead. Oh merlin, what have I done. Im the reason the person I love with all my heart was killed. When Remy visited unexpectedly earlier today, I already knew there was something bad that had happened. And I was right. He said he saw Sev in one of the pack of wolf in scotland together with Bellatrix and her husband. They were trying to recruite the pack for the dark lord. But instead of agreeing, the pack got angry and abruptly attacked them, they were outnumbered and Sev was caught and was immediately mauled by the entire pack while Bellatrix and Rhodulphos manage to escape.
Im so sorry Sev, I love you so much. I don't know how to carry on with my life now that you're not here with me anymore. You're the only one I will ever love,*
To say that Hermione was shocked was an understatement. James Potter and Severus Snape was in a relationship before and the way James wrote this entry she could tell that James really love the Potion master. What happened? Why did Remus told James that Snape was killed? Throwing all her hesitation she continued reading the next entry. She knew that whatever she was about to read in this journal would change a lot of things in their life, especially Harry's.
* oh Sev, love. I wished you were here. Im so sure you would be ecstatic with the news I got today. My beloved, I'm pregnant. Our ultimate wish is finally coming true. But it would be much better if you're here with us, my love. I don't know if I can raise him alone. What if Im not a good daddy to him, what if I can't take good care of him. How can I tell him that Im the reason why their papa was not with us anymore. What if they would hate me because of that. What if they asked where you were buried Merlin Sev, I wanted to looked for your remains, but Remy said there was nothing more left. I wanted to slauthered them all, all of them who had a hand on your murder, but I can't. I know you'll never forgive me if something happened to our little angel. I promise to forever cherish and love him\her always. Just as how much I love and cherish you, now and forever, I will never stop loving you,*
The bushy haired gryffindor stared at the journal wide eyed. She quickly check the date and her suspicion was confirmed. 1979. Harry was James Potter and Severus Snape son. But what about Lily? Why Snape hadn't found out. She knew the potion master had no idea that Harry was his,or else he wouldn't treat Harry like he did. She suddenly felt a bit sympathy for the potion master. She was certain he would be devastated when he found out the truth. But she needed to know more information, she fault she had missed something and she wouldn't stopped until she got her answers.
* I'm worried, Sev. My parents was starting to get suspicious, they've notice something had change in me, Im afraid that when they found out about our baby they would take them away from me. Much more when they found out who the other father is. Lily suggested that she will going to pretend she's pregnant, then we will have a fake mariage. She said that if we do it in a muggle way we can fake all the documents. Im glad she understand that Im not willing to bond to anyone but you. Im a bit disturbed by Remus sudden change of behavior this past months. He was much more affectionate towards me, then when he found out about my pregnancy, he said he's willing to take me and our little angel. Im a bit puzzled as I knew he and Siri werd together. Why would he want to take responcibility with me and our child. You're not mad at me, Sev right? You know that Lily is like a sister to me,to us. You understand why we're doing this right? If you only saw her face when she found out Im pregnant, she was bouncing in excitement. I love you always and forever, Sev *
* Lily and I got married today. It was just a simple ceremony. But I swear I thought I saw you there, Sev. You were looking at me, your eyes were burning in fury. You're not mad at me love right? I swear Im not replacing you. No one can ever fill the space you have here in my heart, in my life. Im so sorry. It was supposed to be us who got bonded today, but because of me, it will never going to happen anymore. I missed you so much, love*
*July 31, I've finally given birth my beloved. Our son is so beautiful. I named him Harrison Severus Potter-Snape, unfortunately we had to make another fake birth certificate, his name there would be Harry James Potter. We also decided to do the sibling ritual between our son and Lily to slightly change his appearance. I feel so happy, Sev. Everytime I hold our son, I felt like you're also here with me *
The shocked gryffindor witch sat on her bed thinking of everything she found out out today. That also explain Harry's sudden change in behavior and study habits. Harry was trying to impressed and make his papa proud of him.
And the way his behavior towards the potion master had change aswell as he never talked back to him anymore. She could only assumed that she and Harry had reached to the same conclusion. The potion master had a very deep reason why he was so harshed towards Harry. She now finally picked up the pieces of the puzzle. But there was still one more unclear things left. And she only knew of one person who could answer that, the potion master itself.
Without a second thought, Hermione quickly ran towards the boys dorm and pulled the confused and concered red head as to why Hermione dragged him towards the hospital wing all of a sudden.
