NOTE: I do not own Harry Potter

"No, no you don't. If you love me, then you never would have left," Harry said.

"I left because I love you," Snape said sincerely.

"Prove it! A father wouldn't abandon his family. He would rather die than be without them."

"And every minute I was away from you, I did want to die." With that, Severus took a step toward his son, but Harry backed away.

"But why didn't you say anything to me at Hogwarts? I'm about to start my fifth year. People are bound to know that you're my father."

"Actually, that's been kept quiet for years," Snap said, and grasped Harry by the shoulders, "And I'm requesting that you tell no one of this secret, not even Granger or Weasley. It would compromise the whole mission set to me by Dumbledore. Harry, I'm asking you as a father; do not say anything."

"I won't; I promise."

"Thank you," and then Severus embraced his son. Harry was shocked and looked to Sirius, but his face showed nothing. Harry thought it would be a good time to hug back, so he did.

At this point, Sirius opened his mouth to speak, "Severus, I know this is an important moment for you, but we have to protect Harry. Would you like to go put up the wards?"

"Oh, yes. Good idea, Sirius," Snape said as he released his son and walked out the door. Sirius turned to Harry.

"You don't trust him, do you, Harry?"

"Not in the slightest."

Voldemort paced his office. Snape had tried to get himself off the hook by sending Wormtail to find Harry. It was news to the Dark Lord that the boy was lost. Well, at least Severus doesn't have to kill him now. The elements or I will get him first. Snape will be punished. Voldemort thought. He pressed the Dark Mark upon his left arm and called to his best Death Eater, Bellatrix Lestrange. She apparated to him at once and greeted him, "Yes, my Lord?"

"Severus is trying to be a good father and hide his son. I want you to pay a visit to your dear, dear cousin, Sirius Black," Voldemort smirked as he said the name, while Bellatrix snorted, "I believe the traitors are taking refuge at Number 12, Grimmauld Place. Take Nagini with you." The Dark Lord called his large snake.

He said to Nagini, "Go with Bellatrix. If anyone gets in your way, kill them."

To Bellatrix, "Bella, torture and kill the boy, but leave Snape for me. He must be punished for defying orders." The snake and woman turned to leave when Voldemort turned and said one more thing to them.

"Oh, and Bella my dear, make sure the boy learns the truth."
