Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter. I didn't get them when I blew out the candles on my birthday cake in November so I doubt I will now.

This story is SLASH and MPREG, if you don't like neither of them then this story is not for you. If you are a flamer, come here so I can put ya fire out, you are annoying as you roll around on the floor. When you have been doubted dust yourself off and exit stage left. Preferably down a hole somewhere.

Constructive criticism is always welcomed and appreciated.

Affair of the Heart

Chapter Nine

It was finally time to go back to school. Harry had been accepted in Arithmacy and Ancient Runes, but he had dropped Care of Magical Creatures to have room in his timetable to take them. He had asked Ron to keep him up to date with what they were studying so he would know what he needed to pass the exams, as he was going to be doing it as independent study. Draco's shakes were still there but were not as bad as they had been, they were now so slight you had to pay attention to notice them.

The double date that Draco and Harry had with Hermione and Ron was fun, Draco had loved the move and Hermione had told him of the rumours going around that they maybe doing a sequel to it. Draco had told Hermione that Johnny Depp was cute, but not as cute as Harry. Hermione had agreed with him but saying that she like Orlando Bloom as well as Johnny Depp.

Ron and Harry had rolled their eyes at the pair and had carried on discussing the fighting that had happened in the film. They had both been fascinated by the way the actors had used the swords, Harry had told Ron that he would like to learn that, Ron had agreed with him.

Severus had dropped them off at the station and had taken Draco and Harry through the barrier. The Potions Master was unsure whether or not Harry wanted their relationship know to everyone. That was answered for him when the brunette had hugged him in front of all the other parents and children. "See you in a bit dad." He called as he and Draco went onto the train. Severus smiled to himself as he disapparated from the platform amidst the shocked words and looks.

"You know it will be in the paper tomorrow don't you Harry?" Draco asked as they found an empty compartment so they could wait for Hermione and Ron to arrive on the train.

Harry smiled, "Yeah I do, what better way for people to learn I have family. I don't want to keep it quiet that I have a dad Draco, I'm proud to call him dad."

Draco smiled and said softly, "I understand." A moment later the compartment door slammed open and Ron and Hermione walked in.

"Hey there's a ruckus going on outside on the platform. I heard your name mentioned Harry, do you now what is going on?" Ron asked his best friend.

"Oh that, I just called Severus dad when I went onto the train." Harry said casually as Ron and Hermione sat down on the bench across from them.

"You know this will be in the paper tomorrow." Hermione said shaking her head slightly at Harry's usual tact.

"Draco said that as well, but like I told him I don't care I'm proud to call Severus my dad, he put his life on the line every day for years." Harry told her.

"Looking forward to the uproar when we get to Hogwarts?" Ron asked with a smirk.

"I don't have much choice in that Ron, there will always be something in the paper or rumours around the school about me. I'll deal with it, I'm more worried about how people will take to the news that Severus Snape is actually my dad." Harry said, a little frown appearing on his forehead.

"We'll help the best we can Harry you know that don't you." Hermione said with a smile as Ron took her hand in his as she leant against his side.

Half-hour later the train gave a lurch as it pulled out of the station and towards Hogwarts. Halfway through the journey the compartment door opened and in walked Blaise Zambini, one of the seventh year Slytherins. He told Draco that he will be there for him and support him, the Zambini family were more light than neutral within the war as their family was attacked during the Christmas of their sixth year.

Harry asked the young man to join them and talk with them for a while. Not long after Blaise sat down that the compartment door opened once again, with another Slytherin standing in the doorway. "You shouldn't have betrayed the Dark Lord Draco." Came the waspish voice of Pansy Parkinson.

"Like I told that half blood maniac, a Malfoy does not bow down to anyone, my father seams to have forgotten that important lesson, I haven't. He will fail, I am not a common murderer, I am a pureblood wizard who has pride." Draco told her, his voice was low and cold, sending shivers down the spines of everyone there.

"You will be sorry. He will disown you." She snapped at him her eyes blazing with fury.

"He can't I am seventeen, he can no longer disown me as I am seen as an adult, he had to do it before my birthday remember. I have come into my inheritance from my grandfather, who didn't want my father to support Voldemort. My father was only the Lord of the Malfoy family until I reached seventeen, now I am Lord Malfoy. I have come into the full inheritance of the Malfoy Family, why do you think he never wore the Lordship ring. It's because it is still in the family vault waiting for me to retrieve it." Draco informed her with a smirk. He was going to the vault to get the ring during the first weekend.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh." Pansy growled as she stalked out of the compartment and back into the throng of students that were travelling up and down the corridors as they tried to find their friends to catch up with one another.

"Well I think that sorted her out a little." Draco smiled as he went back to playing a chess game with Ron.

Harry just shook his head as he went back to the book his father had given him on Ancient Runes. They spent the rest of the journey with Harry reading, Ron and Draco playing game after game of chess and with Blaise and Hermione arguing over parts of their Arithmancy homework.

They were soon sitting among the other students in the Great Hall watching as the new first year student were being sorted, Ravenclaw got the most students with thirteen, while Hufflepuff received eleven and Gryffindor ten. Slytherin had only gotten four.

When the new students were sat down Dumbledore stood up and smiled at them all, "Welcome back to most of you and just plain old Welcome to our new students. First off, the forbidden forest is of course forbidden, though I know a few of you have ignored that warning," he said as he looked over at Harry, Hermione and Ron, all three blushed and lowered their heads a little in embarrassment. "Secondly Mr Filch has a list of all banded items, if you care to see the list it is posted on his door, and most of the wall next to it. I am afraid to say that two of out best pranksters the Mr's Fred and George Weasley's items have also been band, which is a great sorrow as some of their work still remains within these halls by the way of a small enchanted swamp. And thirdly our new defence against the dark arts teacher is Professor Bill Weasley, who has been a curse breaker for Gringotts since leaving school." He said as Bill stood up, Ron looked a little shocked, as he didn't know his brother would be teaching at the school. "And finally I heard there was a bit of a ruckus just before boarding the Hogwarts express. I shall say now that yes our dear Professor Snape has found out that Mr Potter is indeed his son, and we wish them both well with their new found family." He said as he began to sit down and then stopped, "Oh yes and before I forget LET THE FEAST BEGIN!" and with a pop the food appeared on the tables and everyone tucked into their meal.

Well I hope you all enjoyed that little filler chapter. This story has run away from me, it was only going to be a little bit with Harry, and mostly about Severus telling Harry about James and the things they did together. Now it has gone in a totally opposite direction, and I am unsure where it is going.

Well thank you for all the wonderful reviews you have given me, if you have a question put it in your review and I will reply to you.
