Later that night, Harry lie awake in his bed. It was pointless, there was no way he was going to sleep tonight. He kept replaying the earlier conversation he’d had with Remus in his head. What if Snape did only want the baby, Harry was sure that he wanted Snape. He was still in love with the greasy git. Snape may be treated him badly when he’d found out that Harry was pregnant, but that didn’t stop Harry from dreaming about him at night, and wishing that he could touch that toned chest and feel that lean body move against his again.

Knowing that sleeping was a lost effort, the youth carefully stood from his bed, careful not to wake Ron in the bed next to his, and dawned a nearby tee-shirt. He pulled it over his head and headed down the hall. The legs of his night pants were so long that the hem of them dragged the floor as he walked.

As he made his way down the long hall, he noticed a light coming from Severus’ doorway. Upon approaching, he could see that the heavy wooden door was left slightly ajar. He pushed the door open a little wider and creped inside.

The rather large room was empty. The blue duvet was pealed down at the top corner, as though someone was getting ready to crawl into it. A light from the corner of the large desk cast the rest of the room in a soft glow.

Harry made his way over to the desk and took a seat; Severus must have been grading papers because there were quite a few scattered about the dark wood. Harry looked down and picked up one of the many pieces of parchment though what he read shocked him more than he could ever imagine anything could.

Dad,

Hello, again. I hope that you are having a good holiday! Mine here at the manor is very quiet. I haven’t seen father much and mum has been out most days. She says that she’s been doing last minute Christmas shopping, though you know as well as I do that mum never leaves anything until the last minute.
I received your last letter about Harry and I’m very sorry for all that you’ll now have to go through. I bet it won’t be as bad as the first time. I’m looking forward to having a little brother or sister actually. It’ll be fun and you’ll always have me to help out.
Well I’m sorry to cut this short but I really must be going, Father wants me to try on some new dress robes for the Christmas party. It really is a pity that you won’t be joining us this year. We will have to tell Harry about us at some point.
Until I see you again, I send my love.
Your son,
Draco.


“What are you doing?” asked a cold voice from the doorway.

Harry looked up, startled, to find Severus looking at him. His hair was wet and hung down his neck, and he wore a pair of black silk pajama pants with a dress robe.

“When were you going to tell me?” Harry questioned, still trying to grasp the fact that Draco Malfoy was Snape’s son.

Snape closed his door and walked over to sit on the foot of the bed, he dried his hair with a white towel as he pondered what to say.

“I don’t know. It’s a difficult thing to talk about.”

“And you don’t think you could have told me? I’m not going to tell anyone, if that’s what you’re worried about,” Harry said in a semi-soft voice.

Snape bowed his head, to look at the floor, “It wasn’t that.”

“Then what is it, Sev?”

Severus looked back up to Harry, the youth’s expression clearly showing how hurt he was that Snape didn’t confide in him.

“Harry, have you noticed that Draco looks the splitting image of his father?”

Harry nodded.

“Well, when I got pregnant, the wizarding world wasn’t real found of homosexual relationships. Over time they’ve gotten better though. Well, Lucius and I thought that it would be best if we used some spells to give Draco a permanent glamour to make him look more like a Malfoy.”

Harry nodded in understanding, “So he doesn’t look anything like you because you changed his features.”

“Well we didn’t change all of them. You notice how pale he is, well that’s one of my traits, and his attitude no doubt.”

Harry smiled, he had noticed those things. He sat for a moment thinking over Severus’ words. “Wait a minute, did you say that you got pregnant?”

“Indeed I did. I was just out of School when I found out.”

“So you do know what I’m going through. You made a comment when we were sitting in the sitting room, you said that ‘it’s a little strange, isn’t it?’ I should have known then that you knew how hard it is.”

Severus smiled, “Do you know now, why I wasn’t real keen on having a child with you?”

“A little, I suspect that you didn’t want it because you have Draco and you know what it’s going to be like.”

Snape nodded, “Yeah, it’s going to be tough. I’m going to be here for you though, that I can promise you.”

“Sev, why did you give Draco up?”

Severus let out an audible sigh, “Because it was safer for him to live at Malfoy manor with Lucius and his new wife Narcissa. I was a known death eater at the time and I was moving around often. My parents weren’t real accepting of me when I came home after graduation. I guess you could say that they kicked me out.”

“Oh, Sev. I’m so sorry!” Harry moved over to the bed and placed an arm around his lover.

The Slytherin leaned into the embrace, “It’s not your fault, Harry and as you can tell, I’m doing alright for myself now.”

Harry nodded in understanding, he knew what it was like not to be loved by his relatives. What it was like to be mistreated and abused and he felt sorry for Severus.

“Now, why are you not in bed at this hour?”

The Gryffindor sighed, “I couldn’t sleep.”

Snape raised an eyebrow, “With as quiet as this place is, who wouldn’t be able to sleep?”

“Me I guess. I just keep replaying this conversation I had with Remus earlier in my head. I can’t stop thinking about it.”

“What did he say?”

“Well, we mostly talked about our relationship, and whether you are here for me and the baby, or just for the baby.”

Snape wrapped his arms around the small form of his lover, “I assure you that I am here for you bother and I will always be here for you both.”

Harry smiled, “Thank you.”

“Now, why don’t we get some sleep?”

Snape moved to get up and Harry followed. The older man pulled the blankets down further and watched as Harry climbed into his bed. He turned off the light with a wave of his wand and climbed into nice warm bed as well. Curling up against Snape’s side, Harry was asleep in no time.
