Chapter 2

Flash Back!

He was getting the Dark Lord to do his dirty work for him. He decided after a year and a half he wanted the children dead instead. He did not want anything to happen. What he did not expect was for Harry Potter to survive the attack. Realising that he could mold and manipulate the boy into his pawn. He kept him alive, told his family to hate him, so when he came to Hogwarts, he would like Dumbledore for getting him out of there.

Making sure that Hagrid told Harry about Slytherins being evil, there was no chance of his pawn ending up in Slytherin. He had let out his breath when the hat had shouted Gryffindor; after all, he had been under there a long time.

Severus was contemplating another matter. When he had looked into Harry Potter's eyes, he had felt love flow through him, like when he thought about Lily. He gave the 'brat' the evil eye and he looked away, but he was still confused about why he felt like that in the first place.

The same thing happened when Harry nearly fell off his broom. Severus could not understand those feelings. After saying the counter curse he left the stands and drank about half of a bottle of whiskey. He didn't understand the feelings and didn't want to anyway, not with James Potter son. James Potter, the person he loathed more than anyone, he would not like his child, no matter what.

That was one of the reasons he had tried to get Harry expelled in second year. He didn't like the protective feeling that over came him near Harry and would do anything to stop it, even if he was shut of the stupid child forever.

In addition, he did not understand why the headmaster laughed at him every time he complained about Harry to him. And he was laughing at him, laughing because he thought that if they ever found out, they would still hate each other. Laughing because Severus was degrading his own son as well as calling him names. Moreover, it just amused Dumbledore to no end.

Third year it happened again. He put himself in front of a werewolf for the brat, risking his own life for the brat. Severus still could never understand why he was doing it, not knowing that the answer was sitting under his nose the whole time. Potions books, to be precise memory potions!

Fourth year, all he wanted to do was sit and comfort Harry after the Dark Lord was reborn. He had gone to the hospital wing after everyone had left and just gazed at the boy for hours before he had snapped out of it and fled. Again, not understanding why he felt so drawn to him. He had never been shown love or affection from his parents or after school. He had joined the death eaters and did not have any relationships. He had never loved or wanted to care for anyone before. All Severus could think was why Harry Potter, why James Potter's son?

Fifth year one would have thought that he would be glad too see Harry Potter get his mind raided. All it proved was that Harry Potter was not as spoiled as he once had thought. The protectiveness was still there and it annoyed him. He was annoyed because he did not understand it and he took it out on the boy, ending up not teaching the boy properly. In addition, one would think he would be happy that Harry would be dowsed with Veritaserum, but he gave the woman water instead. When he had seen Harry Potter in Umbridge's office he had wanted to get Harry out of the woman's grasp. As soon as he got out of the room he had contacted the order. He had to do it twice that night after seeing the children riding horses that pulled the carriages to the school. He could not leave, he was forced by Dumbledore to stay put, when all he wanted to do was go back there and tell him that Sirius was safe or get Harry himself. He had never been more glad when Harry came back alive.

In many years to come he would feel like hitting himself for not thinking about it or doing it. If he had taken the memory potion it would have been the answer to all his problems. Why he felt like protecting Harry Potter, or the fact that he did not know if he liked Lily Evans. He would have realised that he had a child and also had a wife that had been deeply hidden within his memory's. Severus would have realised the only reason, well not only reason, he felt protective of Harry Potter was because he was his child, a child he and Lily had called Alexander Severus Salazar Snape.

Harry Potter, or Alexander Severus Salazar Snape, did not remember because the potion was used on him. Severus was only Oblivated via spell which did not take the feelings away, just the memories. However, Harry did not remember anything and wouldn't for a very long time.

Neville Longbottom sometimes was nearly like a squib, other times he was confident and more powerful than he usually was. He did not understand that either. Luna sometimes had weird dreams. She usually went all dreamy when she should have been having visions and those were stopped, making her look dreamy.

The others had nothing happening to them, although Hermione should have been in Ravenclaw. Her family had been in Ravenclaw, that was why she read books so much. Some of her traits had not been stiffiled, her love of books being one of them.

It was now the end of their fifth year and they were parting ways at the muggle world. More precisely at the platform of nine and three quarters. With Harry saying what he needed to say before his family went totally purple.

"C'ya later, Ron, Hermione. I will owl you as much as I can," said Harry speaking to his two best friends as the Order members told his aunt and uncle off.

"You, too, Gin, Fred, and George. C'ya soon," said Harry as he pushed the trolley onwards.

Before they knew it, they were away from their friends for the holiday and the next time they saw each other, the shit would be hitting the fan.
