As Harry sat there in shock about what he just discovered Remus left the room in search of his godfather Sirius Black. Harry hadn't noticed he left alone to his thoughts about who his father is and about who his mate was because all werewolves have one. Harry was hoping that it wasn't one of his best friends or anyone he hated. He decided that he was to restless so he got up and paced around his room thinking.

Remus was wondering about Grimmwald Place looking for Sirius to help him explain things to Harry. He just walked into the living room only to discover that Sirius was with Snape deep in discussion like when the we're friends. We used to be friends with him before he was forced to joinVoldemort in the first war.

"It's time Harry knew the truth" Remus said.
They both turned to look at me with fear in their eyes. They didn't want harry to know just as much as he did but the time has come for them to reveal the truth.

"Before you came bursting in here that is what Snape and I were just discussing. We were also debating what to tell him and what we should leave out." Sirius said.

"He's going to hate me for pretending that I hated him and you marauders" Snape said

"He will forgive you you know. He's just like lily in that sense" Sirius said reassuringly.

"I forgot to mention that I already told him that he got his inheritance from his father" Remus said.

"WHAT? I THOUGHT WE AGREED THAT WE WOULD TELL HIM EVERYTHING TOGETHER" Snape shouted.

Harry was pacing his room when he heard shouting coming from downstairs. He thought it was death eaters attacking the house so he ran down stairs only to be surprised at what he discovers. He knocked on the door to alert them that he was there.

"I heard shouting and I thought it was death eaters or something. What are you doing here professor Snape?" Harry said.

"Potter we were just discussing a sensitive matter but no matter come in. It's about time we ALL told you the truth" Snape said glaring towards Remus. This made harry wonder if he was my father since Remus told him that harry got his inheritance from his father and the fact that Snape said they were discussing something sensitive. Harry was curious as to what it is was they were talking about but then he thought it must have something to do with the truth that Remus spoke about.

"So are you my father Snape?" Harry said surprising everyone in the room.

"Yes that's true but how'd you figure it out." Snape said.

"Well when Remus mentioned that I got my inheritance from my father and I knew you and my mother were close at school. Also the fact that you miss all classes when it's the full moon and a few after it's over. So I just pieced everything together and it all just made sense" harry said.

"You really do have a brain in that head of yours" Snape said.

"Yes well let's just say that I am actually smart but I like to hide it from everyone. I guess you could say it's a habit from when I went to school in the muggle world with Dudley. The Dursley's didn't like it if I was smarter than their son so I just fake being dumb." Harry said with a sad expression on his face. Remus and Sirius knew about his relatives and about how he was treated by them. Snape had a look of anger and sadness on his face when he heard about that small detail about Harry's past. He thought that the man was incapable of feelings but the last few moments he was proved wrong.

"But how come you haven't said anything about it before now. Also how come I look so much like James?" He said.

"It all starts with when Voldemort rose to power and he wanted Snape as a follower since he was close to the order, but he refused to join and in retaliation Voldemort threatened your mother. Snape was forced to join to protect her and us his true friends." Sirius explained

"In order to protect your mother James said he would take her into hiding once you were born. We put our trust in the wrong person as you know harry. Peter Petigrew sold them to Voldemort and Snape never knew where that hiding place was just in case Voldemort invaded his mind and saw his memories. It broke Snape not to know you and you're mothers location." Remus continued the story but Snape stopped him there so he could explain the last part.

"When I found out that lily was betrayed by someone I went to Dumbledore to ask to join the light side, but on one condition that he glamoured you to look like James because I couldn't raise you without everyone questioning me as to how I was your father when everyone thought James was you're father and the fact that I was supposed to be loyal to Voldemort. You were the boy who lived, the one to destroy Voldemort. Also the fact that I lost my mate." Snape said with tears streaming down his face in memory of that horrible night.
Harry was left in shock once again as he debated what to say and what to think about all that happened to his true father and what he went through. It did explain everything. So once everything was explained he asked about what will happen once he returns to school.

"Now that I know the truth, I was wondering what will happen once school starts since I'm now a werewolf" Harry said.

"When you return to school you will have your own dorm and when it's the full moon I will accompany you to the shrieking shack. Also if you so happen to find your mate they will have to accept you but if they do reject you you will die within 24hours." Snape explained

"Ok well let's just hope that he or she will accept me as their mate. It's getting late I'm going to bed since I have to go to Diagon alley tomorrow for school supplies" Harry said.

"Could we accompany you there since Voldemort is back and after you?" Remus asked.

"Sure. Are you coming to Sna-father?" Harry asked. He was about to say Snape when he remembered that he was his father.

"I'd be honoured to but won't your friends ask why I'm there" Snape said.

"We'll just have to explain everything to them won't we. We can show them memories of tonight instead of explaining everything. Goodnight everyone" Harry said sounding extremely exhausted.

"Goodnight harry" everyone chorused.

"Well that went better than expected don't you think" Sirius said breaking the silence.

"Yes." Snape and Remus said together.

"Are you staying or going home for the night Snape?" Remus questioned.

"No I'll be going home but I'll see you all tomorrow morning. Goodnight" Snape said before flooding home. Remus and Sirius also decided to go to bed as well.

Harry walked up the stairs and went to his room to get ready for the night, only to notice his reflection shown that he had shoulder length black hair and a slightly pointy nose just like Snape. However his eyes were the same colour they always were. His glamour must of disappeared since he gained his inheritance. With thoughts of his father and mother he fell into a peaceful sleep knowing he had a father that was alive.
