A New Hope

Chapter 9

Written by: MorningStar





Harry and Draco were the first to arrive in the dining room. They took they’re seats, Harry to the left of Severus’ seat and Draco to the right; across from each other. They didn’t talk much, waiting for Severus to appear and for lunch to begin.



Harry couldn’t help but be grateful that Draco was taking the news so well, so much better than himself. He also couldn’t help but wonder why that was, what did Draco want, what was in all this for him. Maybe he really did love Harry, Maybe he did really just want to be part of this and nothing more, maybe it was Draco’s child.



Soon enough Severus entered the dining room and took his seat at the head of the table. They ate lunch in relative silence and only after all this dishes were cleared did Severus break the silence, noticing the tension in the room. “Damien will be home soon, what did you two have planned for the rest of your day, Harry, Draco?”



It was Draco who answered, “I thought that maybe you and I could work on that potion that we’ve been meaning to do, Sev?”



“I’m afraid that won’t be possible, not with Damien in the house and not with Potter in his current condition. Heaven forbid something go wrong,” Severus told his godson.



“Umm…Professor, can I ask you something?”



Turning to look the Gryffindor in the eyes, Severus replied, “I’ve never stopped you before, and I don’t see a point in stopping you now, Harry. What is it that you’d like to know?”



Harry fidgeted in his seat before finally asking, “Damien, your son, where’s his mother, sir?” After asking, Harry put his head down, as if waiting for an explosion. However none ever came, he dared a look up at his potions master and saw that he looked as though he was contemplating weather or not he should answer his question or not.



Finally Severus answered, “I am Damien’s mother, Harry. You see, I gave birth to Damien your third year at Hogwarts; much like your going to do in a few months.”



Harry thought about this for a few moments before asking, “Sir, then who is Damien’s other father?”



“Getting brave, aren’t you? Well that’s all well and good considering I’ll be the one taking care of you through most of this.” Severus said, handing Harry a piece of parchment. “I’d advise you read that later, As for Damien’s other father, well it’s a rather long story. I believe that you are under the impression that your godfather had escaped Azkaban your forth year at Hogwarts, however that is not the truth. Sirius escaped toward the end of your second year. I took him in, knowing that he had nowhere else to go and that he was in fact innocent.”



Harry looked confused, “But sir, I thought that you and Sirius hated each other?”



“Allow me to explain more, your godfather and I, shortly after graduating began to get along and we began to see each other, as in date. After the whole Pettigrew thing and Sirius being sent to Azkaban I pretty much gave up hope of ever seeing him again. That was until he showed up here, at my manor, after escaping. We were together again. I informed Dumbledore and after giving Sirius a truth Serum, Dumbledore agreed to keep him safe.” Severus paused to clear his thoughts, then began again.



“He showed up toward the end of your second year, as I’ve said. It was the beginning of your third year that I found out that I was pregnant. I didn’t tell Sirius for such a long time; he was busy trying to find you, and hiding so that the ministry wouldn’t find out that he’d escaped. I did tell him though, on his birthday. He said that it was the best gift that I could have given him. And Damien was born five months later. We were happy together,” Severus stopped, pinched the bridge of his nose, then looked back to Harry and Draco.



Harry leaned back in his chair, placing his hands across his navel, he asked, “What happened, it seems like everything was perfict?”



Severus pondered this for a moment before he began to speak again, “He began to show up at Hogwarts, he caused problems and soon the ministry found out that he was no longer in prison. We had a few arguments and finally he left, He just left. I’ve raised Damien ever since. Sure I’ve had help, Draco and Albus are here often.”



Harry sat there relaxed, hands still across his belly, looking at Severus. “So does this mean that Damien is related to me? I mean since Sirius is my godfather and all,” he asked.



“Only if you want him to be, Harry,” and with that, Severus got up and left the room.





AN: I told you that it’d be a conversation with Severus….and I gave you just that. I hope that you all could put the pieces together. And next time… you’ll find out what was on that parchment that Severus gave Harry. Let me know what you think…if you don’t then you’ll be waiting longer for the next chapter.
