Thanks for all the reviews.

Chapter 12

Harry's (POV)

The few weeks that followed saw Hogwarts undergo changes.

McGonagall was officially appointed headmistress.

She fired Trewany from divination and hired Professor Birch

The history of magic teacher was also replaced with Professor Ross who actually knew how to keep her students involved in the lesson.

The wards were strengthened so that none of Voldemort's cursed items could enter the school.

A team of aurors where placed to patrol the edge of the wards making sure nothing would harm the students.

The best addition for sure was Remus being hired as the defence professor again.

Father and Remus had put aside their difference and became Friends.

The night we told him Snape was my father Remus Fainted.

It would have been funny if it weren't for the severity of the situation.

It took a while for him to become used to the idea but he didn't hate me for it so I count myself lucky.

It became a daily ritual to spend the day with Draco Blaise Pansy and Theo before alternating between dinner in the hall and dinner with Remus and Father in his room before spending the night in the Slytherin common room.

Tonight was one of the nights that I spent the night in the great hall.

"So decided to grace the hall with your presence Potter?" Weasel called when he and granger noticed me in the hall.

"Honestly c-can you come up with s-something else to say I've h-heard you say that to m-many times." I called back not looking up from my conversation.

"How dare you? You pathetic Snake." Granger yelled.

"Mr Weasley, Ms Granger is there a particular reason you are annoying my slytherin's?" Father called as he approached where we sat.

"I suggest you return to your table now." Remus said standing slightly behind Father.

"See R-remy this is why I d-don't enjoy having my m-meals in the hall. I get hassled b-by theses idiots."

"Don't you dare insult me!" Granger shrieked.

"Ten points from Gryffindor." Remus said glaring at the Gryffindor's.

"But Remus..." Weasel started.

"Another ten points for not addressing your professor with the respect I deserve."

"But rem…"

"I will not hesitate to take more points if you continue."

"You didn't yell at potter."

"He is Harry's godfather and she has the right to use his name." Father answered.

Both Remus and I turned to father surprised.

"Really?" he asked.

"Of course you are the last link James you need to be in her life and I trust you if anything should happen." Snape whispered to Remus.

I saw his face light up and that he was a second away from hugging father.

"You wouldn't like her so much if you knew the family she came from Remus." Weasel said sending a glare at me.

"I don't care who her family is and you will do well not to insult her parents it is a full moon tonight and I will not be responsible if the wolf decides to protect its cub." Remus threatened as his eyes changed to have a amber tinge.

I sent a smile at him before turning my attention back to weasel.

"Your just like your death eater father potter." Granger called loud enough for the entire hall to hear.

Everyone grew silent.

"Her parents weren't death eaters." Neville called.

"Her father is." Weasel called sending we an evil smirk.

It was replaced by outrage when I returned to my dinner not caring that they were about to reveal my father.

We'd spent days discussing the situation before agreeing that we would tell those closest to me before the reveal.

"If your hoping to g-get a reaction o-out of me you will be d-disappointed I'm not ashamed of who my f-father is and if you reveal it I w-wont have to do it myself so g-go on then." I said waving my hand.

Weasel turned an alarming shade of red that put his hair to shame while granger just had a smirk.

She turned to Remus.

"Snape's her father." She called.

"Ms granger 50 points from Gryffindor for revealing personal information." Remus called.

"But her father…"

"I do not care. You also have detention with her father and he can punish you as he sees fit." Remus said before turning and walking back towards the head table.

"Harry come to my room tonight we will be continuing your training." Father said before nodding to the other slytherin's.

"Kay." I responded before turning back to my dinner.

"Well dinners never dull when you join us." Draco laughed.

"Harry? Is it true?" Neville asked coming over.

"Neville I'm s-sorry…" I began.

"That Git is your father." Seamus hissed.

"Seamus. I c-cant control who m-my parents are." I returned feeling tears form.

"Is that why you changed to Slytherin because your father made you?" Dean said spitting out the word father.

"No he d-didn't that was my d-decision." I replied dryly.

"So you really are a traitor." Seamus hissed.

"I thought y-you didn't care t-that I'd changed h-houses." I said hiding my hurt.

"We thought it was an elaborate plan with Dumbledore to gain the slytherin's trust and stop them joining you know who."

"V-voldemort his name is V-voldemort." I hissed. "Glad I f-finally know where you a-allegiance lies."

"That's not what we meant." Neville tried.

"You've m-made it perfectly c-clear what you meant. I-i think you should l-leave." I said turning away. "I've lost m-my appetite guys I'll meet y-you in the dorms l-later."

Order meeting (Tonks (POV))

"What news have we got from Hogwarts?" I asked surveying the group.

Without Dumbledore we had lost our ways so it was to me to regroup.

Mivera couldn't leave the school since two of her strongest professors were attending the meeting she would not leave the school undefended.

Kingsley was stuck running errand for the ministry as well as some of my fellow aurors were out on damage control from a resent raid.

That only left the Weasley family the bones family and the Longbottoms

The youngest Weasley boy and the granger girl had convinced the headmistress to allow them to attend the meeting.

Although they didn't have their usual awe and respect that was present in previous lessons.

Instead they choose to alternatively glare at Remus and Severus.

"Harry's father is alive." The granger girl hissed.

"James is alive?" I asked confused I'd seen the reports he was dead.

"James potter was never the girls father." Remus said returning the glare to the teens fully.

"What?"

"I am her father." Severus called. "Obviously nothing of interest has arisen so I shall take my leave." He continued.

"See you at school." Remus nodded.

Once the door closed signalling Snape left moody turned to address the group.

"We cannot allow Snape to take custody of her. We aren't sure if he is a death eater or not and we cant take that chance."

"You can't do that." Remus yelled jumping to his feet.

"We can and we will. It will happen tonight. Any more time and Snape will have time to place her under further protection."

I sat quietly.

I didn't want to hurt harry which would happen if we went through with the plan but could we really chance Severus converting her.

I shook my head.

Harry was my friend I was going to protect her.

I listened to the plan as it was quickly put in to place.

"Who is one duty tonight for ward patrol?" Moody asked drawing me into the conversation.

"Tolley, Andrews, hardy, Gregg and myself." I responded immediately.

"Good send someone to let me into the wards when your shift begins." Moody called and ended the meeting.

So what do you think?

R/r

Also I have exams all next week so I might not make the update but if that's the case I'll get a friends to do it for me it just might be a little late.
