His Biggest Secret

By: A Wandering Soul

Chapter 6

Harry swiped the back of his hand angrily across his eyes. He reached under his bed for a shoe box containing old letters. Pulling one out he read what it said remember the day he got it.

As Harry bundled up his sweet new-born baby he spied a note sitting on the side table. *How did I miss that before?* The boy shrugged as he lifted the paper to read the familiar hand writing.

YOU STUPID LITTLE WHORE! How could you have done that? Not only does

my family now hate me but I'm on the run. You tell that skanky mud-blood

Granger that I will have my revenge, but until I do I'm coming for you

Potter. Your babe is so sweet. I would HATE to see anything happen to

her. Watch your back I'll be waiting.

Harry shuttered his mind only becoming more resolved in his decision to leave.

He was shaken from his thoughts when his little girl came running into the room. "Daddy Auntie Mel wants to take me for a walk is that OK?" "Of course peanut. I hope you two have fun." He kissed her on the cheek and once his door closed he went back to his thoughts. Pulling out the next letter he shuddered at what it said.

The Occulmens lessons were scheduled to resume. Not that Harry was happy about that but Dumbledore had a thought. Meeting the two men in Severus' rooms he laid out his plans. "Now boys I know you don't particularly like one another but maybe if you opened up more you might be able to tolerate one another." The headmaster pulled out a vial of veritaserum and administered the required dosage. He settled back to ask questions starting with Severus. "Now what is your name?" "Severus Snape." "Good. What do you feel towards Harry Potter?" "I don't really know him but what I see is his father." "You do know he is not his father right?" "Yes but it is hard to separate them in my mind." "Can you tell me something about your childhood? What was your father like?" "He was a brutal man who took out his frustrations on my mother." "Yes your mother. How was she towards you?" "She loved me and I was sad to see her go." "Now I have time for one more question. If you could keep an open mind do you think your opinion of Mister Potter will change after you hear him answer questions?" "I might but I can't be sure." Severus shook his head as the potion's effects wore off.

Dumbledore turned to a stunned Harry Potter. "Now Harry I need you to take the potion." The young man just nodded his head. Dumbledore knew all about Harry's home life though the aging headmaster could not do a thing about it as much as he wanted to. Harry's eyes glazed over showing he was ready to be questioned. "What is your name?" "Harry Potter." "How do you feel towards Severus Snape?" "I have respect for him. Though a bit terror as well." "Why do you somewhat fear him?" "Because I know what he is capable of." "Do you hate him?" "No. I don't know him well enough to hate him." "What is it you respect about him?" "He works hard and even though I don't like the way he does it he has pushed not only Neville but myself into doing our best." Severus piped up at this point. "Then why do your or Mr. Longbottom's cauldron explode?" "Because the Slytherins throw things into our cauldrons." "Do not blame Draco and his friends for your incompetence." "I didn't say Draco Professor." Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued to ask Harry questions. "Now Harry can you tell me about your home life? Your uncle perhaps?" "He was a jerk who liked to hit me for being a 'freak'." "And your Aunt?" "Sat back with popcorn and watched." "What was your cousin doing during these beatings?" "Laughing. Every once in awhile my uncle would have Dudley hit me too." "Did you have any friends before coming here?" "No my cousin and his friends would threaten anyone who would talk to me." "How did Dudley's friends treat you?" "Pierre was a jerk. He did really bad things to me." "What did you do at your Aunts house?" "I was a slave. I cooked and cleaned and anything else they wanted me to do." "I have time for one more question. Would you share anymore with Severus without the potion?" "Yes I will answer any questions with honesty. It was the only thing the Dursleys liked about me." Harry too shook his head as the potion wore off. A grim look on his face at the memories that were now running ramped through his mind.

Harry was once again shaken from his memories by the front door being banged open. "Harry! HARRY!" Melissa Clemens shouted. Harry entered the living room to find the short strawberry blonde pacing. "Harry! I don't know what to do! We were walking and all of a sudden some red headed boy came flying down from the sky and lifted Serenity and took off!" Her worried brown eyes looked at the 'boy-who-lived' with unshed tears. Harry was floored. He had no idea what to do. He grabbed his cloak and ran for the headmistresses office. "We have to tell Minerva! Hurry!" They passed Severus Snape as they ran by. Melissa was shouting about how sorry she was that she let the little girl out of her sight.

Severus had heard what the woman was babbling. The color drained from his face and he turned on his heels grabbing the distraught woman before she could get to far. Once he had the full story the two made there way to the headmistress. Harry was already there spouting things trying to get her to understand. The letter from Ron still clutched to his chest. "Minerva!" Severus shouted as he entered the room. Turning to Melissa he told her to calm down and tell the Professor what happened. He walked over to Harry and pulled the reluctant man into his arms trying to sooth him. "I know. I know but you getting sick is not going to help her." Harry finally calmed the sound of his love's, EX-love's voice soothing him like it always did.

Melissa was shaking as she told her story. "We were walking by the forbidden forest when a snake came slithering by. Serenity wanted to talk to it so she followed. I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen. Once inside the forest I lost sight of her. It didn't take long for me to find her of course but when I did some guy was standing over her. He had this look on his face like Christmas had come early. He was fairly tall, really lanky. Short red hair and blue eyes. He grabbed her and took off. There was a note on the ground. I picked it up and ran strait to Harry." Finally finishing her story she broke down into tears. "I'm so sorry Harry! I never should have let go of her hand!" here she turned to McGonagall, "Please just find her." Her tears came faster and she dissolved into hysterical sobs. Harry walked forward and picked her up. Severus taking the note. He read through it before going even more pale. Harry took the note with shaking fingers and read through it quickly.

Told you I would get my revenge. Now don't you wish you had taken my

first warning to heart? Don't worry little daddy she is safe, for now.

But don't think it will be for long. You better get that little slut

Malfoy and his pregnant little mud-blood. Watch your family close

Potter. When you lest expect it this sweet little girls body will be

found dead and bloody on your door step. You have 3 weeks to find me or

she dies. I'll keep in touch with your fuck buddy ass hole Snape. Have a

fun life!

Harry collapsed next to his best friend both wrapped into each others arms crying. Severus stood off to the side his thoughts in turmoil. *How could I have been so stupid. All this time thinking Harry didn't really love me and he was just worried I wouldn't love that sweet little girl. Now she is gone and I never got to know her. No matter what it takes I'm going to find her even if that means I lose my life.* Severus swept from the room and down to his private quarters. He pulled a few books down from a shelf and began his long search.
