Chapter 8

Confrontations

Harry woke up the next morning to someone calling his name. Blinking his eyes to get used to the bright sunlight, Harry looked up into the face of Severus. As soon as the professor saw Harry looking at him, the mask fell into place. This saddened Harry slightly because he hadn't seen the full mask up for a while. Harry could only assume that the kiss made Severus pull away again.

"Potter, you have visitor" Severus said in an accusatory tone, as if he was blaming Harry for people showing up at his door.

"But….no one knows we're here." Harry replied, "I didn't want anyone knowing we're here." Severus gave him a look that clearly held annoyance. Harry sighed and continued, "I'll go try and get rid of them, whoever it is."

Severus gave a curt nod and left the room, so Harry could get ready. He quickly pulled on a pair of jeans and brushed his teeth. He then made his way to the living room that was right down the hall from his room. He was almost to the doorway when he heard the voices.

"I said, where's Harry, Snape." Spat a familiar voice, "I want to know what you've been doing to him! Torture? Rape, maybe?"

"You listen here, Weasley," there was Severus's voice, "Your idiotic brain wouldn't understand anything I tried to explain so I am just going to give you a piece of advice. You can go to he–" Harry decided that he should step in before things got even more out of hand, so he quickly stepped through the door, announcing his presence with a falsely cheerful cry of surprise.

The sight that greeted him was a very red faced Ron fuming in front of a much calmer but still furious Severus. They both were standing over the wood coffee table in middle of the room glaring at each other. Sitting on the couch where they had kissed last night, sat a newly pregnant Hermione and a sheepish looking Neville. "Ron, Hermione, Neville! How are you all?" Harry gave Severus a glance telling him to escape while he had the chance. Lucky for everyone in the room, Severus understood and quickly left the room.

"Why mate, would you be here with Snape, the Death Eater?" Ron exclaimed.

"First off, he's not a Death Eater, Ron, and second, I needed him to heal my daughter." Harry explained.

Hermione perked up at the word 'daughter', "You have a little girl, Harry? Who is the mother?"

"I adopted her. She had a heart problem and Severus healed her with some of his potions." He said, trying not to get annoyed.

"OK, so you left the Wizarding World, adopted a daughter, came back to heal her, and now your living with Snape?" Ron summarized, "Anything other big news you want to tell us?" he asked sarcastically.

Harry knew Ron didn't actually mean the question he had asked, but Harry decided to just get it all off his chest. "Well, now that you mention it, Sirius is my father not James, I know because my Mum sent me a letter about it, and I've cast paternity spells on myself to prove it, and I'm gay." Harry finished. He was going to tell them about the kiss, but he decided he wouldn't say anything until something more happened. 'If something else happens' Harry thought, and no matter how much he tried he couldn't convince himself that he didn't want something to happen.

Silence. All jaws were on the floor. Harry just stared into their faces, and he could tell by the shade of red that Ron's face was turning that the man was about to blow. Harry braced himself, and, sure enough, not even five seconds later…. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GAY?" he yelled.

Harry winced but also wanted to laugh. 'Out of all of that, he picks up the comment about me being gay?' Harry thought. He saw Hermione glare at Ron, but her glare soon turned into a nauseous look. "Um….Harry? Do you have a bathroom somewhere?" She questioned.

"Yeah, it's just down the hall to your left." Hermione looked thankful and rushed towards the hall, Ron not far behind.

Once they were out of sight, Harry turned to Neville. "So how did you all know I was here?"

Harry was surprised when Neville looked up at him, guilty and sheepish. "Well, I was in the greenhouses, because I'm the Herbology professor you know, and I saw you come out from underneath your invisibility cloak. I was curious as to why you were here after disappearing of the face of the Earth after the war, so I followed you. You forgot to put your cloak back on so I easily followed you back to here. I called Ron and Hermione telling them I saw you, and here we are." Neville said it all in a rush, as if he was scared of Harry's reaction.

"That makes sense." Harry responded calmly, and Neville relaxed visibly. "I guess next time I'll have to make sure I put my invisibility cloak back on." Harry and Neville smiled at each other before moving conversation onto more comfortable topics.

Mya's POV

Mya had just woken up and she was leaving her room to go find her daddy. As she walked down the hall towards the living room, she saw that there was a tall red-head leaning against the door frame of the bathroom.

"Who are you?" she asked.

The red-head looked down at her, and Mya didn't like the look he had on his face. "Ah. So you must be Harry's daughter," the mean man sneered, "I am one of Harry's old friends; of course he isn't my best mate anymore because he left and now he's gay."

"My Daddy is nice! Don't be mean to him! I love my Daddy!" Mya tried to understand why this mean man hated her daddy.

"Aww. Well isn't that cute. You love your Daddy? Well your Daddy loves men, and that makes him a queer freak. I wouldn't expect you to understand. Now go run along and play with your dolls or something." Ron chuckled to himself.

Mya felt anger at this mean man rise within her. "You're a meanie!" she yelled as she ran out of the hall. She stopped in the doorway to the living room and spotted the passage through the wall that she had seen Severus and her Daddy come and go through a couple of times.

Mya silently ran through the portrait hole and dashed through the halls of Hogwarts, trying to get as far away form that mean man as possible.

Harry's POV

Meanwhile, Harry and Neville small talked while they waited for Hermione and Ron to return to the living room. Harry sincerely hoped that Ron could accept him. Neville had assured him he didn't mind who he liked and if Hermione's glare at Ron was anything to go by, she didn't mind either. Ron on the other hand, he might not be so quick to accept. It would be like 4th and 7th year all over again.

Neither of them noticed a small girl run out of the room and into the rest of Hogwarts.
