I don't own Harry Potter.

Sorry for the long wait, been a little busy getting my research done for the NaNoWriMo, and doing another little video for halloween. Link to my youtube page in my profile.

Chapter Ten

Severus Snape was in a panic, his father had gone missing three days before, and just two hours ago he had been brought before Voldemort and forced to accept the Dark Mark. Voldemort had told him that he was the one to kidnap his father and would keep his father just to make sure that he will remain loyal to him. The new Potions Master didn't want to join with a madman that wanted rid of Muggleborns and Halfbloods.

He was at Malfoy Manor, hoping he could talk to Harry, he needed someone to talk to. He was waiting in the parlour for Harry. He knew that Lucius was out as he had seen Lucius at Voldemort's headquarters. He was afraid for his friend, especially since he knew that the young man was from the future and was also hiding in plain sight with his role as Lady Narcissa Malfoy.

Harry walked into the library where Severus was waiting for him. He walked over to the dark haired wizard and hugged him, "Hello Severus, what brings you here? And congratulations, I heard you have become a Potions Master, the youngest to every receive it."

"Thank you, my Master was please when I received it, and so am I." He tried to smile, but failed.

Harry saw it and asked concerned, "What is wrong Severus?"

"I… I've been Marked by Voldemort." He said his eyes going to the ground, not being able to look his friend in the eyes.

"Severus, it's alright, why did you join?" Harry asked, hoping that he was forced like Lucius.

"He has my father, he said that he would be safe if I remain loyal to him. Harry I don't know what to do." He said, his eyes showing the turmoil that the young Potion's Master felt inside.

"Leave it to me Severus, but I want you to start learning Occlumency, I know you know about it and can also perform it, but I want you to become a Master of it. I know you will." Harry said.

"Why?" Severus asked a little confused.

"Just do as I say Severus, and all shall become clear soon, please, when you have master Occlumency come and see me. Until then be loyal, I know it will hurt, but it is the only thing you can do for now." Harry informed him.

"Alright then Harry, I will do as you ask. Thank you, I know you always do the right thing." Severus smiled and then left the married man alone to his thoughts.

Harry was in a Mansion near Rothbury. Harry didn't know who the Mansion belong too, all he knew was that Voldemort kept prisoners of those he wanted to serve him, so far there was only one prisoner and that was Severus' father. It had been a week since Severus had come to him, and he knew that time was short.

He walked down another passage way and swore when a red light flashed by him, someone had spotted him. Harry quickly drew out his wand and the back up that Lucius had gotten him to start taking with him when he had started to spy on Voldemort around a year ago.

He started firing curses and hexes back at the unknown wizard that was guarding the cells.

"Flatus Absentis!" Harry shouted, using a blasting curse.

It hit the wizard he was fighting and sent him flying down the dark dank corridor. Hitting the furthest wall with a sickening crunch. Harry winced when he heard it and started for the cell, he knew that alarms were most likely being sounded at that moment. He blasted the door open and ran in. He could see a man, his skin was pale and the nose was recognisable as it was the same shape as his sons.

"Mr Snape?" Harry greeted as the older man looked at him. "We have to go now." He said as he helped the other man up off the floor.

"They will know I have escaped, they will hurt Severus, I can not do that to my son." The black haired man told him.

"Alright, I have an idea. Come with me, I need your help to get the body of your guard in here."

The two walked out and Harry and Tobias Snape manoeuvred the dead man into the cell, Harry quickly cast a spell that would reveal the name of the wizard and found out that it was the youngest LeStrange brother, Caruso. Harry looked at Tobias and then started the arduous task of transfiguring Caruso to look like him. It didn't take long, the only thing left was for the spells, when hitting the body come up as being Tobias Snape and not Caruso LeStrange.

He plucked a few hairs from Tobias and then using a spell that he and Dumbledore invented during the second war, for this very purpose. He used the spell and shot the hairs into the dead man, letting the hairs become a part of the body. After a few seconds Harry tested it to make sure that it had worked, and it did, the name that came out was that of Tobias Snape.

The two then made their way out of the mansion and Harry joint apparated them to Malfoy Manor.

"Thank you, I don't know if I can ever repay you for what you have done." Tobias said as he smiled at the younger man standing next to him.

"You are welcome, Severus is my closest friend. I would do anything to help him, and that now includes you. It is not safe yet for Severus to find out about you, but if I know him, it will only take a few more days." Harry smiled back. "You look very young to be a father of a eighteen year old." He wondered.

"Eileen and I had him when we were still teens, we were newly weds, it was when Severus was one and pulling his bottle towards him that I found out that the woman I loved was a witch, she was afraid that I would abandon her, but I never could. I loved her, and still do. Severus is so like his mother, she loved potions. I had to drag them out of the potions lab at least three times a day. When she became ill, Severus began to withdraw from everyone. When she died, I think a little of me died as well, but when Severus went back to school, I got a letter from him, telling me how much he loved me and hoped that I would be alright, I was planning to join Eileen in the grave, but that letter stopped me, and I am glad that I took heed of it. I would have missed seeing my little boy become a man." He answered the little unasked question.

"You and your wife brought him up well." Harry told him, "I know he will become the best in his field and that he will play a great role in things to come."

"I think so too." Tobias nodded.

It was five days since Harry had rescued Tobias Snape, and the elder Snape was set up nicely in Paris, where he and Eileen had gotten married, after they both eloped. Severus came into the library where Harry was waiting for him, after receiving a letter from the younger Snape telling him that he had master Occlumency.

"Harry, I think I have it down now, but the only true way to tell would be is a Legilimens using Legilimency on me." Severus said as he practically burst through the door.

"I can do that. Don't worry Severus. All will be well." He smiled and cast the spell.

What he saw was shocking, it was as though there was no wall to block him. Harry delved deeper trying to find certain memories, and was given false ones, but they felt as though they were true.

"Wow, Severus you have done wonderfully. You have mastered it beautifully." Harry smiled, happily.

"I tried my best, I know that Voldemort will go though my memories about things, to make sure that I am loyal. So I have made so that he can search, but will see what I want him to see." Severus grinned back, though it seamed more like a smirk than a grin.

"Well, I have one last thing for you to see, come with me." He said as he walked out of the library, followed by Severus and then went into the study and picked up the ready made portkey.

He held it out so Severus could grasp it as well and when he did Harry gave the activation code, "Family"

With a tug to the navel they whizzed through the air and landed with a jolt, with Harry falling over and bringing Severus with him. The two heard laughter as the struggled to get up.

Severus brushed himself off and then looked up, "Dad!" he yelled as he rushed over and hugged his father. "I thought I would never see you again."

"Hush Severus, your young friend helped me get out. I live here in Paris, until it is safe for me to come back to England. Your mother and I got married in the church down the street. This is the very same flat that we lived in for a year, we moved to the cottage at Spinners End just before you were born. Its where we found out your mother was expecting, we wanted to have you on British soil so we headed back." Tobias reminisced a little before becoming serious, "Now you must keep the fact that I am alive secret, to that lock that took me, I am dead."

"I will dad, but it will be alright for me to visit on occasions?" he asked, agreeing to what he father had said about keeping him secret.

"You had better be here for Christmas, you not to old for me to take across the knee my lad. You had better come at least once a month, if you don't I will make sure Harry is there to nab and grab you and drag you if need be." Tobias said gruffly.

"I will dad, promise." Severus smiled and laughed.

Harry had never seen Severus smiling and laughing so freely. He let the two continue to talk for a while, as he went out into the streets to look at the local market that was nearby.

Severus and Harry landed back in Lucius' study to find said blond waiting for them.

"Excellent, your both back. How was Tobias?" he asked the two.

"He's quiet good, and happy that Severus knows he I well and safe." Harry answered as he went over to his husband and greeted him properly with a kiss.

"Right, Severus, me and Harry have something important to talk to you about."

"Lucius is a spy for Dumbledore, we were hoping that you would do the same, I know it is dangerous but all the help that Dumbledore can get will help towards ending this war. I know that there maybe people involved that you would rather wash your hands of. But it is important that you do so. Just like it is for Lucius to do so." Harry told him.

"I will do it, I don't know how much longer I can go on these raid and not lose my mind, but if I know that what little information I can gather before hand saves even one of those lives it will be worth it." Severus said calmly.

"Brilliant, I shall inform Dumbledore that he has another spy, and see if he can do you an emergency portkey like he has for me." Lucius said as he went out of the room to the library where the Floo was connected.

"I won't reveal what I know about you either Harry." Severus said quietly.

"I know you won't." Harry smiled and hugged his friend.
