Normal POV
Harry was mentally distressed when he sat down in the living room with Snape. Snape was now expecting him to tell his story, and Merlin knew what the man would do if he didn’t. As it were he would rather not find out what the consequences would be if he refused to talk. The thought of lying crossed his mind but he quickly dismissed it. Snape would detect his lies immediately, how he didn’t know.
He felt like screaming when Snape just sat there, looking at him in total silence. It was unnerving and he didn’t like it, but he obviously had to talk right now.
“This summer I was sent to the orphanage. I used to sit up in the attic whenever I had the time because I wanted some peace and quiet for myself. Madam Dran didn’t like me very much. I don’t know why, she didn’t like any of the children but she had a particular problem with me. Then there was Evan, he was the gardener, Madam Dran’s favorite person, and he was the one always in charge of… well you know. Anyway, after a few weeks at the orphanage I got a letter, it had been addressed to me but it had been mailed to a man named Jamie. Jamie and I worked together so we knew each other from before. Right then I didn’t understand why anyone would give him my post, but now I understand better. I would never have gotten the letter if it would have been sent to me at the orphanage, Madam Dran would have made sure of that.”
Anyways, Jamie gave me the letter and when I read it, I was confused because I knew that Jamie was not one of you, the order I mean, and therefore I had no idea why anyone would go through so much trouble just to give me a letter. I thought that bit was strange. It would have been smoother to just tell me in person. Despite thinking that maybe it could be some sort of a magical trap I opened the letter. It came from a vampire called Charmz. He is one of the ancient ones and his real name is forgotten among his and our kind. I do not know this vampire, but my mother did… apparently. James isn’t my father. Charmz is. The letter said I’ve got a glamour on me and it explained what it was, hence I know what glamour spells are. I should begin my change on my birthday and my father will come to see me first then, because when my transformation is finished I’ll become a half vampire,” he said quietly. “Right now the magical glamour is suppressing my dark creature genes, I don’t how.”
Snape POV
I froze when he said that James wasn’t his father, I felt horrible and a cold feeling was settling over me. Harry’s father was alive and they were going to meet each other. Harry would never stay with me, never. I felt like crying. I knew I couldn’t keep him in the long run but this was downright cruel! I only just admitted that I like him, that I want him, I just can’t have him ripped away from me so soon! I’ll fight for him, I don’t care about some stupid vampire. Give me a stake and he is nothing but a cloud of dust.
Normal POV
“Severus, sir? Are you alright?” Harry asked tentatively once he noticed that his professor seemed frozen with a far away look in his eyes. He got curious when Snape didn’t answer him and he gave him a slight nudge. Snape looked up.
“Father?” Snape asked.
“Yes, Charmz is my father.” he said softly.
“Are you OK with that? Because I’m not,” Snape said weakly. It would have been comical if he had not been serious.
“Why isn’t it OK? I have accepted it, it took time but I have had plenty of it.” Harry watched the normally so expressionless man get upset.
“It isn’t right Harry! He has abandoned you before, for 16 long years! He can’t possibly care about you!” Snape said. He was very upset. Harry had an answer prepared.
“He only did what he had too. He is a vampire, you do realise. He told me that I could be in danger if I’m with him while I’m still fully human. I’ll be protected when I become a half vampire. Other vampires won’t be able to harm me.”
“That’s what he told you? And you believed him? You can’t be serious!” Snape half shouted.
“That is a crappy defence and you know it. He could have left the vampires, then he might have been with you and taken care of you. He could have, but he didn’t want to!” Snape reasoned.
“Um…” said Harry and looked at the floor.
“What?” Snape spat with his arms crossed across s chest.
“My father is sort of the king… of all the vampires in Europe…” he said quietly.
“WHAT!”
Harry hurried to explain from what the letter had told him.
“You see, there is a king from every continent or big area. Asia, Canada, North America, Africa, USA, Australia and so on…”
“What about the north pole? Did he tell you about that?” Snape asked sarcastically.
“No one lives there. Anyway, you see those kings are a part of a council and together they rule the vampire society so my father couldn’t possibly leave them,” he explained calmly. Every reasoning for each and every question that might come to his mind had been neatly written down in the letter he had received. If Charmz hadn’t been able to explain the situation so well he might not have been able to accept everything as easily as he was.
“He could have resigned from his post!” Snape argued. Harry just looked at him.
“Fine, why is he the king anyway?” Snape asked sounding like a pouting child.
“You are born to be king. I am the prince, I’ll be king one day…” Harry sounded very hesitant. How was he supposed to be a king when he couldn’t even keep track of himself?
“Great”, Snape muttered. Harry just ignored him.
“I am the only child to Charmz, he told me that.”
“Are you immortal?” Snape asked.
“I think so,” said Harry with a frown. That was one of the things the letter didn’t mention. They sat in silence for a while not looking at each other. Harry thought that maybe if he was indeed immortal, that would explain why Voldemort couldn’t kill him.
“I can’t believe this,” Snape said finally.
“Yea, I know, it sounds pretty surreal.”
“Surreal indeed. How will he find you?”
“I don’t know, but the man is a vampire. I’m sure he has his ways.”
