Chapter 1
Harry woke up to a strange tingling and a feeling of discomfort in his back. It was the morning of his 17th Birthday. He moved lethargically out of bed and went to look in the mirror. What he saw made him gasp in shock. Coming from his back were a pair of beautiful black wings. His eyes had changed from green to red, his skin was Smooth and his hair was no longer looked closer at his face and noticed his cheekbones were higher and more prominent. He reached back and touched his wings. They were soft and touching them felt comforting.
he sighed at yet another thing that was different about himself. He needed answers.
He ran downstairs so fast he missed the last stair and when he caught himself he noticed Dumbledore and Snape watching him from the sitting room. Dumbledore motioned to the opposite couch and asked Harry to sit down. Harry Sat down on the couch and looked at Dumbledore expectantly. One thing he had learnt over the years was that trying to figure out Dumbledore's way of thinking was utterly pointless. After a moment Dumbledore started speaking:
"Harry my boy, I am sure you're wondering about your recent changes. Your mother wrote you a letter before she died and told me to give it to you when you turned 17. It will explain everything." Dumbledore reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter and handed it to Harry. Harry took it and began to read:
"My Dearest Son, Happy Birthday. I'm sure you are confused and you have every right to be. The truth is that James is not your biological father. I loved him but it was more like a brother then a significant other. Don't be mistaken though, He loved you like you were his own. However my love for your real father was powerful and strong. Had he not been taken by the dark arts we most likely would have married. Your real father is a devil which is why you have become different now that you have come of age. You have inherited his creature blood. He is handsome and kind although quite stubborn and hot tempered. Your fathers name is Severus Snape."
Harry looked up feeling dazed. He didn't know what to think. After the war he had stopped hating Snape but he didn't particularly like him either. Right now Snape looked like he was stuck between feeling hurt and being lied to and shocked that he had a son. It was clear that Snape had not known any of this before now. Dumbledore noticed that Harry had stopped reading and stood up.
"Ill let you two talk "
He then left, leaving Harry and Snape alone in silence. After what seemed like hours, Harry Spoke:
"What are we going to do?"
Snape looked up from staring at his hands.
"I don't know .all of a sudden I have a son. All these years I hated you because you were James son, but that was all a lie." Snape ran a frusterated hand through his hair.
Harry could understand the feeling.
After a pause Snape spoke again.
"I suppose if you wanted you could join me in spinners end for the summer if you are inclined to try and figure all of this out"
Harry nodded.
Snape looked surprised as though he was expecting a negitive response but quickly covered it up.
"I'd like to leave soon so hurry up and get whatever you need from upstairs."
Harry nodded again and ran up the stairs, passing dumbledore on the way. He grabbed everything needed such as his cloak and his wand and made it back downstairs in record time.
He found Snape waiting downstairs next to dumbledore, who he seemed to have informed of the turn of events.
Snape silently offered his arm out to him as he reached the bottom of the stairs which Harry grabbed and after an instant of discomfort he found himself standing outside a house covered in moss and overgrown plants. Snape led the way inside and Harry was surprised to find out that it looked like a regular muggle house. He didn't know why but he had been expecting the house to be fancier. Snape led Harry to the sitting room and sat them down.
"Do you have any questions for me before i beginning brewing the healing potions i am required to make?" asked Snape.
"I have wings" Harry stated rather obviously.
He knew it was stupid but it was the only thing that came to mind. The corners of Snapes mouth twitched upwards.
"Yes you do. As a devil you have wings which are used for flight. They are retractable though. Just focus your mind on the and try to move them like you would your fingers." replied Snape.
Harry focused on his wings and tried to move the muscles that he had never used before. His wings folded into his back and Harry leaned back into the couch in relief.
"What about my eyes." He asked.
"They should return to their normal color in about a week and after that they should only turn red when you are feeling strong sensations or feelings such as Pain, pleasure, Anger, and Fear" Answered Snape. "You also have enhanced speed and strength. You will also have a mate. Your mate will coincide with your preferences and trust me when i say that you will know when you meet them.
Harry tried hard to digest the information but it was hard to take everything in.
"Can..we try and make this work? I've never really had a family before besides Remus and Sirius before he died, but not a REAL family. With blood." Harry Asked Shyly
Snape said nothing but pulled Harry into a hug. Harry couldn't stop the tears from falling as he held on to the father he never knew he had. He couldn't believe that he finally had a living family member. Finally. Snape ended the hug.
After an awkward moment he got up and left the room presumably to start the potions he needed to complete, leaving Harry to find his room on his own, which wasen't too hard as after a few minutes he found an open door and after peering inside noticed his trunk on the floor.
He walked in and Shut the door. he looked around the room before lying on his bed. He stared at the ceiling and thought to himself
'how the hell am I suppose to deal with all this!? I have wings, a mate, and Snape is my father!? How is my sanity going to survive all of this!?'
He decided that he would deal with it tomorrow and fell into a heavy sleep
