Chapter Two

(Snape's Point of View)

"He's going to be ok, he may be out for a few days but when he wakes up he will be OK but he could still be in shock from what happened." Poppy said in a tried voice, it was then that I noticed that she had been try to save young Harry Potter's life for quite some time, I gave a nod but before I could say anything else she went on.

"You both might want to come in here for a second I need to talk to you about something." We followed her to the bed that Harry laid on, he looked so pale and weak. He was underweight by a lot, and he had a lot of scars on him. He must have used Glamour Charms while he was at school, he must have been using them since his first year.

"There's something that I need to tell you both, um.... well you see when Lily got pregnant she knew that James was not the father and she wanted to protect him and the father so um...... She came to me to help her cast glamour charms on her son. She told me if anything happened that he had to be placed with his father, and Lily was not around I was to take off the Glamour charms and tell the real father about his son." She trailed off looking to the side.

"What does this have to do with me?" I asked in an uneasy voice.

"Well you see, Professor Snape is that well your Harry's father." What she just said was running through my head at a mile an hour, wait, was what she was saying true? Was this poor scared boy laying in front of me really my son? Was that why I always felt the need to protect him?

"She left you a letter telling you why she did it." Poppy said while handing me a old tattered letter, I opened it to see Lily's fancy handwriting, it read-

Dear Severus

I'm so sorry for keeping this from you but this was to protect you and our son, Well something has happened so that for some reason Harry can now longer live with my sister and now you have sole custody of him. I know you love him just like if you have raised him from a baby, there's a glamour charm casted on him when he was only just a few hours old. Poppy will undo it you just have to tell her to. I really hope that you and Harry will have a great father son relationship together, I just wish I could be there with you too.

Love Lilly

P.S. Please tell Harry that I love him two, I know that you will be a great father.

I looked up to Poppy who had a look on her face that said she was sorry that she did not tell me before.

"It's OK Poppy, will you take the charm off him." I told her while looking down at Harry with all the love in the world, she nodded and then took out her wand. Before my very eyes I saw the boy change, His hair became longer and he grew about 3 inches, his face became longer. I could tell that he looked more like me and Lily. I could feel tears starting to block my eyesight, that was Lily's and mine's son. I reached out to brush some hair out of his eyes, I love him already. I looked up a Dumbledore and asked

"Did you know."

"I didn't know who his father was, but I knew that James was not his father. Harry acts nothing like him, and how he looked did not fit him. But with the looks now He is definitely your son." He told me with a smile on his face as he saw how I was treating the boy already, I looked back down at Harry right in time for him to open his eyes and gasp out one word before he fell back into the darkness.

"Dad." My eyes went wide and I myself let out a gasp when I heard what he said, how did he know?

Time Break

It had been days since Harry had woken up and I had not left his bedside, only when Poppy made me go get Harry's new room set up down in my room. It was the 5th day and I was sitting next to Harry just thinking, what would it have been like if instead of going to that horrible place had Harry come to live with me. He wouldn't be where he is today, we would be at my house enjoying a good summer break. I looked down when I heard a little groan come from the bed, Harry's eyes slowly opened only to gaze around him as if trying to figure out what was going on.

"Harry, how are you feeling?" I asked him as his eyes slowly landed on me, then his eyes hardened.

"What are you doing here?" He asked in a low voice with hate, did my own son hate me that much.

"Harry do you remember what happened?" He shook his head and looked down at his lap, as if scared to look up at me.

"Harry it's OK, you're safe now, it's OK son." His head shot up when I called him son, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Son?" He asked not sure what to make of it, he needed to know that he was mine and that I loved him.

"Yes Harry, Your mother did something to protect you. She said your father was James Potter, she put a glamour charm on you to look like him. He's not your real father Harry, I am." He looked at me in confusion trying to comprehend what I had just said.

"I don't have to go back there?" He asked as he looked back up at me, I gave him a small smile.

"No Harry, you never have to go back there. If you want to you can stay here with me, if you want to." I looked at Harry who had a small smile on his face while he was nodding.

"What do I call you?" He asked

"By my first name."

"Can I call you um... can I call you Dad." He said while looking away as if he was embarrassed. He wants to call me dad, my heart swelled at what he said.

"Of course you can, but you do know when we're in school you still have to call me Professor." I told him with a huge smile on my face, he nodded and then did the one thing that I did not expect him to do, he hugged me while whispering in my ear.

"I love you"

"I love love you too son."
