"W-what'd'ya men, a child?" asked Severus.

"I mean, there is a 3-year-old baby in Dumbledore's office, and he is, supposedly, yours," explained Professor McGonagall. "You must follow me to understand."

Severus slowly stood and followed her out of the room. 

"Lemon Drops," said Professor McGonagall to a gargoyle, and it moved aside. It opened up to a door in the wall, and Professor McGonagall and Severus entered it. Inside, there sat a babbling child on a seat directly beside Professor Dumbledore. 

"Hello, Severus," greeted Dumbledore. The baby looked up and, when he laid eyes on Severus, he smiled and said, "Papa!

Severus collapsed onto the chair behind him. He was currently a virgin. How

"This is your future child," said Dumbledore, reading his mind. "And, as it seems to be as of the Paternity test, he has two fathers. One is you, obviously, and the other is James Potter."

"WHAT?" exclaimed Severus. "Him? He... He hates me! He's never lost an opportunity to beat me 'till I bleed. There is no way....

"He what now?" snapped Professor McGonagall. 

"It doesn't matter!" said Severus. "I just... do we know the child's name?" 

"Papa! You're so silly!" said the little boy. Severus looked at him with eyes of wonder and love and saw that he looked almost exactly like James. Except for his eyes. He had Severus's own silvery-grey, steely eyes. "You know my name! You say it's your favorite name!" the child continued. Severus's breath caught in his throat.

"H-Harry?" he said, quite hesitantly. 

"Yes, Papa! I'm Harry!" laughed the little boy, flinging his arms around Severus with pure love and joy. Severus hesitated before gently hugging him back. 

"I guess I'll bring him back to the dormitories," started Severus. Dumbledore nodded and added, "You will most likely have to raise him for a couple of months before we can figure out how to send him back." 

"I think... I think that James should know," said Severus. "I'll tell him... but I'm bringing Harry with me." 

"All righty, then," said Dumbledore. "Would you care for a Lemon Drop?"

"S-sure," said Severus, as Harry clapped and said, "Yes, please!" Dumbledore dropped a small yellow sweet into Harry's extended hand, then handed one to Severus. It tasted strange compared to the wizarding sweets he was used to, but it was surprisingly nice. Harry quite enjoyed his. "Thank you, Mister!" he said in what he thought was appropriate manners. "You are very welcome, Harry," Dumbledore smiled at his innocence. 

"Come on, Harry, we've got to go," said Severus, extending his hand. Harry took it graciously. 

"Bye-bye, Mister!" called Harry, waving with his free hand. "Bye-bye, Propessor Mc-McGon-Gona-g-ga-gall!" Professor McGonagall smiled as well, which was rare for her. "Goodbye, Harry." 

Harry skipped beside Severus, smiling and waving at everyone he saw. Most of them were portraits, but all waved back. 

"Harry, I'm going to pick you up now, okay?" warned Severus. Harry nodded. Severus gently lifted him into his arms and held him. Harry rested his head on Severus's neck, and Severus felt a surge of pride and joy adrenalize him. 

He soon found James, Sirius, Remus and Peter. Still holding Harry, he stepped up to them. 

"Oh, look!" said James. "It's Snivellus--wait, why are you holding a child?"
