To Have A Son
~This first part is Harry's POV~
"Damn", I thought as I skidded down the deserted hallways in the dungeons toward the Potion's classroom. My so-called dorm-mates didn't even have the decency to wake me up on time, hell they didn't even wake me up this morning. Not even Ron, but knowing him, he was probably thinking of his girlfriend, Lavender Brown.
Snape, the old slimy git, is probably gonna give me a month worth of detentions and take no telling how many points away from Gryffindor, but right now, I could care less bout losing stupid house points.
"God-damnit", I cried as my bag split in half and all my books, quills, and parchment fell out and my ink bottles smashed on the ground. As if I wasn't already late for class, now the greasy bastard has a reason to take a whopping 150 points away from Gryffindor house.
Specking of the devil there was the great prat walking along with Professor Lupin . Hee Hee, he's late for his own class. I wonder what they are talking 'bout since Professor Lupin looks pretty pissed about something. ~end of POV~ "I can't believe you still haven't told him", Professor Lupin was saying, a vague tone of disbelief colouring his tone of voice. Snape whirled around and glared at him angrily, his lips pulled back in a sneer.
"Told who what? I don't have the foggiest idea what you are going on about." Snape spat, but was cut off by a growl from Lupin proving the wolf inside of the usually clam man.
"You know perfectly well who and what I am talking about, Severus. It's been fifteen years. he has a right to know the truth.and to know you."
"Know me?! Why the hell does he have right to know me? For all I know he's not even mine!" Snape yelled, and turned to stalk away. Lupin , however, latched tightly onto his arm to stop him from running away. "Let go of me, werewolf." He growled, but Lupin held his ground. For a moment, he didn't say anything, his expression shifting between concern and disbelief.
"He IS yours, Severus. Surely you have noticed the changes in his appearance: longer and straighter hair, higher cheek bones, his nose changed its shape, hell he is even starting to act like you. I'll assure you Severus, that is not James's child ". Snape still looked unconvinced. " Good God Snape, all those years in the dungeons must have affected your brain more than I thought it did." Snape's face suddenly became very angry.
"Even if he is mine, do you think he would want me as a friend much less a father."
"So that's it."
"What is?"
"You don't think you're worthy."
"I'll be surprised if you could find anyone LESS worthy. I was/still am a Death Eater, I've done more evil to the world than I can rightly remember. I am not worthy to even be Voldemort's father, even that mutt, Black, would be a better farther to Harry than me. But still, how do u think he is going to take all of this, you obviously know the boy pretty well, what do you think he would do if he found out what his real farther was a murderer? A conscienceless follower of the Dark Lord? A cruel, bitter teacher, hated by the whole school? It'd break him, Remus, I know it would."
"That just shows that you have to get to know him, wait don't interrupt me". Snape open his mouth to say something, but Professor Lupin silenced him with a glare. "Just take a moment to sit down with the boy and get to know him, because whether you like it or not Harry Potter. Is. Your. Son, or should I say /i/Harry Snape/i/." Lupin added with a smile.
"Fine, fine, so if he is, God forbid, my kid, how am I supposed tell him. I am sure that conversation will go over well. I'll just go up to him and say 'Hi Harry how was your day, and by the way did you know that me and your mother had sex', he'd probably curse me before I even get the chance to explain."
"That just show you don't know him", Remus said calming down, "He probably won't embrace it at first but I guarantee he wont rejected you". "We will continue this conversation at a latter time, I believe we both have classes to get to". Remus started walking away.
"I hope you are right Remus", Severus muttered as he started walking toward the potion's classroom, "I hope you are right."
'Oh my God", Harry thought as he slid down the wall, his mouth open in shock. 'How could this be, how could the most hated teacher in the whole school be his. his father'. Almost everything he had been told the past 5 years had been a lie. With all thoughts of going to class far from his thoughts, Harry went some place he could think, in peace.
His school things lay forgotten on the floor.
