Potter Or Snape

Chapter 3: Rath of Minnie McGonagall

"Severus Tobias Snape! You have a lot of explaining to do!" The shrill voice of Minerva McGonagall echoed through the hospital wing. The sudden loud noise jolted Severus out of his sleep and caused him to fall of the transfigured cot with a loud thump. Severus quickly sat up wide eyed and looked at him son sleeping on the bed next to him. After making sure his son didn't wake, his head snapped to the stern witch how was stud at the end of his make shift bed.

"Will you keep it down! You could wake Harry." Severus scolded.

"Severus are you going to explain to me just what in Merlins name is going on?" Minerva questioned with a hand on her hip.

"Well that's a long, and when I say long I mean long it started thirteen years ago." Severus said as got of the floor and brushed of his crumpled clothes.

"Well you can tell me the entire story in my office." Minerva stated and turned to leave the hospital wing not looking back at Severus.

"No! I'm no longer a student Minerva I haven't been one for a long time. We are colleagues and equals, therefore we are not going to talk in either if our offices. We will talk here." Severus stated standing his ground. He may think of Minerva as a mother figure, but like hell was he going to let her control this situation.

"I am the boys head of house! I have authority!" Minerva argued, walking back over to the bed.

"I'm the boys father wether you like it or not Minerva!" Severus spat getting annoyed with the women.

"So now you are taking responsibility for the boy. Now that his parentage has been revealed." Minerva shot back glaring at the Slytherin head of house.

Severus jumped up from his the bed he was sitting on and quickly casted a silencing bubble around Harry. "Don't you dare make assumptions about something you know fucking nothing about! I never knew Lily was pregnant. She never fucking told me but rest assured if I had known I would of been there. Harry would of never been sent to his bastard relatives. He would of had a much better childhood than he has had so fare!" Severus roared in outrage of what Minerva was suggesting.

The doors to the hospital wing opened and Albus walked into the ward and stopped in his tracks when he saw the arguing professors.

"You had an affair with a married woman Severus! Lilly Potter no less!" Minerva yelled outraged that Severus would do such a thing.

"Stop being such a fucking trigger happy Gryffindor with your accusations Minerva! Close your fucking mouth until you know all the facts first. Besides there is no point in arguing about something that happened 13 years ago. What we should be doing is degustsing Harry and what we are going to do for his needs." Severus stated.

Minerva was about argue when Albus cut in. "I agree with Severus, Minerva. There are changes to the castle and Harry's care that need to be discussed and arranged." Albus said trying to calm the still angry Transfiguration teacher. Albus continued when Minerva didn't reply "There needs to be a way for young Harry to be a normal student and that means he will need to get up and down the stairs. There is also a matter of protecting Harry from those who would try and take advantage of his condition." Minerva sighed finally giving up the fight, although Severus and Albus where sure that she will demand answers at a later time. "Also Severus after much thinking. I have decided to relieve you of your spying duty's for the Order, as you will need to be looking after Harry, and it would be hard to be a spy if you where openly the father of enemy of Tom." Albus told Severus his blue eyes twinkling. "I thank you Albus, but who will gather information from the death eater meetings?" Severus questioned. "I suspect it will be a while until Riddle returns. We will just have to hope that we can find someone to fill your place. You will also have to be under protection when the public find out as you will become a target by being a traitor." Albus explained. "So I can finally be myself? As in no longer be the mean Dungeon bat of a Professor that makes students cry?" Severus asked. "Yes you can be the real Severus Snape form now on!" Albus exclaimed joy obvious in his voice. A smile appeared on Severus's face. "Good I do hate making children cry." Severus explained.

"Now what changes are we going have to make?" Minerva asked. "Well Harry has to be able to get up or down stairs without help. And the door ways will have to be widened so Harry's wheelchair can get through." Albus explained. "Well we can ask Filius to char his chair to float up and down stairs, and I pretty sure the castles Magics will widen the doors if we ask her to." Severs suggested it was common knowledge that the castle had Magics with home many wizards and witch's have attended the school over the years and the moving stair cases was a big give away, but not many knew that you can ask the castle to make changes if necessary.

After a moment of silence a thought came to Severus "What are we going to do about Quidditch? It's clear to see he loves the sport and that be loves flying. It will deviate him not being able to fly!" Severus questioned looking over to his son. "I can talk to Alastor about Modifying a broom for Harry" Albus offered turning towards Severus. Severus replies with a nod. 'When do you want to tell the rest of the staff?' Minerva asked the youngest professor. 'When Harry wakes up I will talk to him about it. I don't even know if he will even except me as his father.' Severus said looking over to the still sleeping boy. 'When will he wake up?' Albus asked. 'Well the dreamless sleep should of worn of by now. We just need to wait until his mind and body are ready to wake up. Hopefully it will be soon.' Madam Pumfrey explained walking out of her office to check on Harry.

Severus preyed that his son will wake up soon.
