Title: The Fun of Severus Snape
Rating: T
Summary: Snape had a bit of fun after he left Hogwarts and fathered two children with two different women, Harry with Lily and another child, with a muggle. During Harry's third year it comes out that he and another person are related. The real shocker is, Snape didn't know. Based on the Hidden Snape's on Potions and Snitches.

Chapter 2: The Ring
"I think we should drop Divination," Hermione said, "I mean, come on, that woman is a right old fraud and I'm sure you hate her treating you as though you have the Black Death or something."
"Yeah, the screaming is really getting annoying," Harry told her, "But I doubt that McGonagall will approve me to go to another class."
"Well why don't we ask her," she suggested.
"She'll probably ask what class we want to be in, if we're dropping Divination."
"How about Ancient Studies or Earth Magic," she suggested.
"Or ghoul studies," Harry suggested.
"Yeah, but which ghoul do we even follow," she wondered.
"Not Peeves, anyone but that."
"Or you could take Muggle Studies or Study of Ancient Runes," Hermione suggested.
"I think I'll do Muggle Studies, an easy pass," Harry said, "And if I don't like the fact that they haven't advanced, then I can complain."
"Trust me, they haven't," Hermione warned.
So an hour later Harry and Hermione were off of Divination and Harry took up, not Muggle Studies, because she wouldn't let him, but the Study of Ancient Runes. It was either that or still on with Divination. Harry really wished that he hadn't taken the class at all. Harry had to order his book, though Hermione said that he could join with her and look at her book. Ron wasn't happy that he wasn't taking Divination.
"That woman freaks me out," Harry told him, "Unless you want to be told that you're going to die thirty times a week, and then I don't see the problem with it."
"But I'll have to put up with her alone."
"Then take the Study of Ancient Runes," Harry suggested.
"No thanks," Ron said.
Harry mentally groaned.
"Have you ever noticed that Ron doesn't believe in hard work," Hermione said as they headed for Charms.
"Yeah, don't remind me," Harry said, "For some unknown reason, it's getting to be really annoying."

"Severus, I heard the news," the goblin said when he arrived, "This key just arrived for you and the vault is now accessible."
"Good," Severus said, "This will be two withdraws of both money and object."
The goblin nodded and summoned Griphook to help him out.
The Prince Vault was located down so far into the earth that no one could find it. It was a high security vault, and only a blood relation could enter. When the goblin showed him the vault, he whistled. He had more money than the Malfoy's had. The vault was filled with gold, silver, and bronze coins, things that looked hundreds of years old, paintings, and three boxes filled with books. He took out three bags of coins and the box that had the ring. The last time that it had been worn was by his mum, before everything changed.
"Anything else?" the goblin asked.
"These two books and the locket," Severus told him, taking them, "That should be good enough until next time."
"We'll keep it safe for you," he said and then he was taken back to the world above.
When he got back to Hogwarts he put the box on the desk and looked at it. He knew that Draco, as his godson, would be furious over him recognizing Hermione and Harry as his children. But he knew that Minerva was right, damn her! He would have to place both of them under the protection of the House of Prince and take whatever came with it. He was not looking forward to Thursday morning.
"Hello, Severus," Dumbledore said, grinning.
It was dinner and he wasn't looking forward to laughing boy.
"Hello, Headmaster," he said.
"I heard that you had a-."
He broke off as the gigglefest started. Why me? Severus thought.
"Albus, act like an adult," Minerva stated, her tone cold, "So where did you go, Severus?"
"Gringotts," Severus told her, "I got a few…things."
"Wonderful," she said, "So are you going to sign his form?"
Severus rolled his eyes and said, "If it will keep you from bothering me. Then, yes, I will."
"Wonderful," she repeated.
Severus sighed and started on his food.
Later that night, when he knew that Harry was asleep, he went into Gryffindor Tower and took the form that he had brought with him. Signing his name on it he went to turn it into Minerva. He had plans to have both of them come to his office before their Potions lesson, so that Malfoy wouldn't catch on. He was still going on about his blasted arm hurting him.

"Ron, what are you doing?" Hermione asked him when both she and Harry had come back from the Library.
"I'm looking for Scabbers," he replied, "And I think that his leaving was all her cat's fault."
"What are you on about?" Hermione asked him, "my cat didn't do anything wrong."
"Your cat has hated Scabbers since the moment that it arrived," he snarled, "When I find my rat; you will keep your cat away from him."
Hermione went red and Harry said, "I'm sure that we'll find him around here."
Ron continued to look and didn't respond.
The next morning Harry and Hermione got a letter from Snape, telling him that he needed them. Ron was busy moaning the fact that he couldn't find his rat. Hermione had been reading about the rules and saw that something was very wrong. There was a clear rule that no student could bring any pet that wasn't approved by the Board of Governors. Hermione had concluded that, maybe, the loss of Scabbers was a good thing. At least Ron could get himself a real pet, like an owl.
They decided not to tell Ron where they were going. He was just too depressed anyway. They left the Great Hall and headed down to Snape's office. The door was open and setting behind the desk was the man that was their father. He looked up when they entered, but magically closed the door and locked it. He placed the same powerful Silencing Charm so that no one would hear them.
"I went to Gringotts yesterday," he told them, "and I picked up a couple of things that I know that your going to need and are by right, yours."
Both Harry and Hermione looked at each other.
"Because you're my heir, Hermione, you will get the ring," he told her, "It is a message to all that you're my heir and that I will not stand for any nonsense. From now on you will report if Malfoy calls you anything that brings insult on our family. When you take this, you'll be under the protection of the Nobel House of Prince and no one will be able to take you unless they wish to feel the full extent of the house's power. You will also be an honorary Slytherin, since I'm the Head of Slytherin House. Do you accept this ring?"
"I accept," Hermione said and the ring was placed on her finger, which shrunk to fit her finger.
"Harry, I'm going to keep your name," Severus told him, "Your use to being called Harry and I don't want to bother you with a new first name. However, if you accept this necklace, just as Hermione accepted her ring, you will be under the protection of the Nobel House of Prince. No one will be able to insult you without me knowing and the punishments for insulting you, or Hermione, will be upsetting. Your last name will change from Potter to Snape at accepting this ring. Do you wish to be under the protection of the Nobel House of Prince, which will protect you from Tom Riddle?"
"I accept," Harry said and Snape came around and put the necklace around Harry's neck.
"You're also an honorary snake," Severus continued, "You will have protection coming down here. Next summer you will not have to return to the Dursley's when term ends."
"Thanks," Harry said.
The bell rang, making them all jump.
"Time for class," Snape told them.
Harry wasn't looking forward for this.
In Potions Snape had them pair up, though Harry found himself paired up with Hermione. Today's lesson was the Growing Solution, an opposite of the Shrinking Solution. Harry opened his book and found that his eyes were hurting him. He took off his glasses and found that he had perfect vision. His eyes still hurt him, but he put the glasses away. Maybe whatever his mum had done was going away.
"You look better without them on," Hermione told him.
"Thanks," Harry said.
The potion was hard, mainly because he hadn't really been paying attention for the last two years. Snape came around to look at how everyone was doing and, to Harry's surprise, didn't say anything about Hermione helping him. Thanks to Hermione he managed to produce a decent potion. He bottled it and turned it in. Snape nodded at him and then went to check on his own snakes.
"Why aren't you wearing glasses?" Ron asked him.
"They were hurting my eyes," Harry told him.
"And what is Hermione doing with that ring on?" Ron asked them.
"Merlin, Ron, can't I sport a ring?" Hermione asked him.
Ron must be more dumb than they thought, because the next words got a wand pointed at him. "You're dating! You took Hermione away from me."
Harry had his wand out and said, "What you're saying is disgusting. I consider Hermione like a sister, not a girlfriend."
"I don't believe you," he said, "You're spending a lot of time together and you're taking the same class that she is."
"Oh dear gods, what is your problem?" Hermione asked, "I'm not going out with him and I'm not dating him. You know what's wrong with you, Ron; you think that I'm your property. I'm not, you stupid idiot."
"I know what I'm seeing," he snarled.
"Is there a problem here?" Snape asked Ron.
"Yes, there is," Harry said, "Ron's acting mental and I want him to leave us alone."
"I believe, Mr. Weasley, that they have told you to leave them alone," Snape told him, "And when my children demand something, it would be wise to allow them to have it."
Whoever had been within earshot, gasped. Ron went white, which was a good color for him. "Y-Y-Your children."
"Yes, Mr. Weasley, my children," Snape said, "If your father doesn't want a duel due to you stating that there's incest going on, then you would be advised to stop accusing them of something that they haven't been doing."
Ron bolted and Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're not going to hear the end of this," Hermione told Harry.
"Right now, I don't personally care," Harry said and they headed up to the Great Hall.
