Affair of the Heart

Chapter Five

Harry walked over to his trunk that had been placed in the room. He opened it and began to unpack his clothes. His mind wandered as he unpacked his belongings. He put his schoolbooks all along the two top shelves on the bookcase that stood near the dark oak desk. Hedwig sat perched near the open window taking in her master's movement.

He took out his finished and the unfinished homework and set it on the desk, so he could sort them out later. He went back to his trunk and felt the delicate material of his father's invisibility cloak. He smiled as he lifted it up and put it away. His photo album lay underneath. He picked it up and sat down on the bed as he relaxed against the headboard.

He opened it up and slowly looked through the book of moving pictures. He came across a picture of him and his two closest friends, Ron and Hermione. Hagrid took it in his first year as they stood outside his shack. 'Wonder what you two will think about Draco's letters and that Severus is my dad, though we already knew that.' His mind went back to Christmas last year.

Xx-Flashback-xX

Hermione sat reading another book in the almost empty common room. Only Ron, Hermione and Harry had stayed for Christmas out of Gryffindor, Ginny had gone home, wanting to be with her parents like most of the students in the school. Ron and Harry were playing a game of chess. Harry was getting better at the game, though Ron still won as usual.

"I wonder if the charm works," Hermione said to no one. Ron and Harry looked over to her.

"What charm 'Mione?" Ron asked her as they left their game, with the pieces arguing with each other, and went over to the young witch and sat down on either side of her.

"Oh, there is a charm here to find out the parents of a person. But it hasn't been used in over a hundred years, as a potion is now used. I just wondered if I can do it or not," She told them both as she looked up from her book.

"Well, there is only one way top find out, cast the spell on us," Harry said as Ron nodded in agreement.

"Okay then expiscor parentes (1)," she said, pointing her want at Ron. A moment later his mother and father stood beside him, they were misty as though they a sprit representation of them.

"Wow, that's pretty cool, do Harry's now 'Mione," Ron said as he looked at the two spirit shapes either side of him gradually disappear.

Hermione nodded her head and cast the spell at Harry. On one side of him was his dad James Potter. On the other side where Lily was supposed to be was Severus Snape. Their eyes went wide in shock.

"Mione did you do the spell right?" Ron asked his voice a little squeaky.

"Yes I did it right. It seems Harry that Lily was not your mum. That you have two father's instead, I wonder who carried you and if professor Snape knows of the relationship between the two of you?" She said aloud to them both.

Harry shook his head. "I don't think so, and no Hermione I can't tell him this yet, he is still a spy and he could get killed if people find out about it. Promise me that you two will never say another word of this to anyone?" He asked them both as he looked at them seriously.

"I won't tell a soul Harry, though I don't think anyone would believe me." Ron smiled at his best friend, he thought it a little unnerving for Harry to be related to their potions master, but he would always stand by his friend.

"I won't Harry, when the time is right though you will tell him, let him know that he has a son that he can be proud of." She smiled encouragingly as Harry nodded his answer.

Harry sat back down on the couch and ran his hand through his already messy hair, making it stand on end even more than usual. "I didn't know men could have children?" He asked aloud to no one.

"Yeah they can, my uncles have had five kids between them, all little brats though," Ron said, he saw the question on Harry's face and answered it. "The magic of two lover's pool together in the one on the bottom and it reacts creating a child, only real love between the two of them would be able to create a child."

Harry smiled; he now knew that James Potter and Severus Snape had true love between them, though it did bring up the question of why to people so in love with each other would split up, leaving one of them pregnant. Only one person came to mind and that was Voldemort, was he responsible for his parents splitting up. He didn't want to think about the possibility of them beginning to hate each other once again.

"Well it explains why you looked the spitting image of Snape when you scowl. You must take after him a lot more than you think." Ron laughed as Hermione joined in. Harry scowled at them both, sending them into a fit of laughter at the younger version of Severus Snape that stood before them.

Xx-End Flashback-xX

'Can't wait to tell them that the spell was really right and it wasn't just a fake image, and that he knows,' he thought to himself. He looked through the book as he came to a picture of himself and his father James. Harry felt sad as he looked at the man who had given birth to him. 'I can see the sadness in your eyes dad, you hated knowing that Severus may never see me grow up, or even that he may never know that he had a son. Rest in peace dad, he knows now, I love you and I know Severus still does. He has some sadness within the depth of his eyes as well.' He smiled to himself.

He went through pictures of himself and James; he came to one of his first flight on a broom with his dad behind him holding him. They were both smiling as they flew around the picturesque garden. He turned the page and can across a picture of himself lying in Lily's arms being fed. 'You're still my mother Lily, nothing will change that. You gave your life for mine, you loved me and cared for me as though I wasn't yours, and in a sense I am. I love you to mum, and I always will.'

A sturdy knock sounded on the door to his room. "Come in!" Harry called out, thinking it may be Severus.

A blonde head came around the door looking at Harry on the bed. "Hi Harry, I have my letters for Ron and Hermione," Draco said, stumbling a little on Hermione's name. "Would you send them please, I don't know where they live," he asked Harry as he came into the room and held out the letters for Harry to take.

"Okay then, I'll just write them a small note and send it off." He put the photo album down and went over to the desk and foraged for a spare piece of parchment and a quill. He found both and began to write.

Hi Ron and Hermione,

Glad to see you arrived at the Burrow safely Hermione. You both remember the charm Hermione used last Christmas. Well it was right; I'll tell you more when we meet up.

And don't worry I am safe Hermione. Ron tell your mum the same, you know she will worry when she finds out I'm not with the Dursleys anymore. Thank you both for the present and pass it along to Fred and George and your parents.

Ron, hopefully I will be able to meet with you on the 25th like planned, if not I will see you at school or on the train.

Hermione I still have a month to do my homework. I only have History of Magic and Charms left so I have plenty of time.

See you both soon.

Harry

"Charm?" Draco asked as he read the small note over Harry's shoulder as the smaller wizard finished it.

"Hermione found a charm last Christmas. It shows the parentage of a child. For me it showed James Potter and Severus," he explained to the inquisitive blond.

Draco chuckled lightly. "Well that explains why you took to Sev so quickly. You already knew so why the act?" He then questioned.

"I didn't know how he felt about the fact that I am his son. He seems happy. So I made sure it will be easy for both of us to acknowledge the fact that I am his," he tried his best to answer the difficult question. "Well I'm going to send off the letters then finish unpacking, I got side tracked when I found my photo album."

"What does Sev want to talk to you about? The tone of his voice was serious and angry," he wondered as Harry attached the letters to Hedwig.

"Take these to Ron and Hermione; they are both at the Burrow," he told the snowy white owl as she then took flight through the open window. "The Dursleys hate magic, because of that they hated me. The ignored, neglected and hit me on occasions. I lived in a cupboard until I got my Hogwarts letter. That's basically it. I never have to go there again," he answered Draco's question.

"So he wants to talk about that," he said as Harry nodded yes. "Well I'll leave you to your unpacking; Sev will no doubt nab you soon," he added, getting up off the bed and going towards the door.

"See you later Draco," Harry said, going back to his trunk and started to unpack the large second hand clothes. Draco walked out of the door, closing it softly behind him.
