Harry walked into the Great Hall the next day and was bombarded with his fellow Slytherin first years and Hermione .

"No my auto mail is fine." he told them. "I was just having problems sleeping and went to dad for a potion."

"Dad?" Hermione asked, "Whose your dad?"

"Well..." Harry said, "My auntie let Prof. Snape adopt me. So he's my dad. He gave me a Dreamless Sleep potion because I hadn't slept in five weeks. "

"Five weeks?!" Hermione cried, "How did you survive?"

"It's normal for me." Harry told her wondering why she was resisting being pulled toward the Slytherin table. "Will you help me out with something that requires a lot of courage ?"

"Okay, sure." Hermione said, "You want Courage I'm your girl. What do you need?"

"I want to get rid of this house revelry so from now on I'd like you to sit with us at the Slytherin table." Harry said, shocking his friends. "and we'll even be brave enough to sit with you at the Gryffindor table."

"Sure." Theo said, "You know i will."

"Do we get to at least have some fun if the Gryf's pick on her?" Pansy asked, "Just a prank here and there."

"Did we hear the word prank?" Two Weasley's popped up behind Harry. "Who are you pranking or darling little snakes?"

"Anyone in your house who is mean to Hermione for sitting with us at the Snake table." Harry replied.

"Sounds fun." one twin said,

"Let us join you." With that they were being pushed toward said, House table with people staring and muttering. "This'll be fun."

"We're Gred and Forge by the way." said the first twin.

"We're third years." said the second twin.

"We thank you..."

"For getting our baby..."

"Brother the help..."

"He so desperately needs."

They were suddenly all sitting at the Slytherin table with three Gryffindors. Everyone was staring at them but Harry was hungry so he ignored them and began eating the others all followed his lead. Soon they were all talking as if it were a normal day and they were doing nothing that was going against the schools unwritten rules.

Harry flicked his wand and was rewarded 10 points from a happy Prof. McGonagell who of course wasn't showing she was happy but was clearly favoring Harry over Hermione who didn't seem to care as she was too wrapped up in Theo who shared her interest in books and learning.

"Very good, Mr. Potter you keep that up and you'll be head of your year in no time."

Harry gave her a nod. He'd been using the cream for his face like dad had wanted him to and it had worked but he'd found out that he didn't know how to show his emotions or feelings like everyone else so his face stayed how it always did. Though he was very...pleased? with her comment. At least he thought what he was feeling was pleased.

He worked hard in all his classes. He might have the book smarts but he'd never used magic he could control before. It was harder than he'd thought it was going to be. Finally, he had potions he happily entered the class with his friends. They were the last ones in because he was slower with his metal limbs.

"Dad." he said, and Severus shocked everyone by rushing to his red faced son. "I got a lot of points today."

"That's great, Harry." Severus said, "But why are you red in the face?"

"Oh, we had a bit of a race." Harry said, "During break. Right before class. I lost but it was fun. "

"Alright then." Severus nodded. "Just be careful now go sit down."

Everyone in class was shocked. Severus Snape the teacher they had heard was evil and cruel was being nice to Harry Potter. Not to mention Harry Potter had called him dad.

Severus had had this class all planned out then his little child had become his little child now who to pick on. He would have chose the Weasley if he was still here and he wouldn't choose Granger because she was his son's friend.

"Longbottom!" The boy promptly fainted. He let out an annoyed noise then a soft sigh when his son walked over to the boy and tried to revive him. His son had such a kind heart. Just like Lily. Severus melted when Harry looked at him even without the boy showing emotion he understood that Harry was worried after the Gryffindor. He revived the boy.

"are you okay?" Harry asked Longbottom helping him sit up with Hermione's help. The girl had arrived at the same time as Harry."Dad meant to scare you but not that much." Harry told him. "It's okay, Longbottom, don't be scared."

The boy looked at him with fear filled eyes and fled the room leaving a trail of wet warm liquid behind him. The Slytherin's didnt laugh because Harry seemed confused and worried though they couldn't see it on his face they could some how feel it. Hermione helped him to his feet.

"It's okay I'll take really good notes for him." She swore.

Harry nodded and returned to his spot with Draco. Severus banished the urine . Really he'd never had a kid pee themselves in his class before. He scouted the rest of the Gyffindores.

"Miss. Brown!" the girl jumped , "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

"uhm... " she blinked, " a mess?"

" 5 points from Gryffindor."

"Miss. Patil . " the girl beside her stuck her nose in the air. " where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"

"Your backside." the girl stated boldly.

"5 points from Gryffindor and detention tonight." Severus hissed. He could feel his sons rage at the girls. " Mr. Finnegan. What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

"Ask Neville." Seamus said, "Oh wait he ran out after he peed himself."

"5 points from Gryffindor and detention tonight with me."

Severus seed satisfied.

"Write down these answers." He said, " Powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood would get you a sleeping potion so powerful it's known as the Draught of Living Death . If you want to find a Bezoar it's found in a goat's stomach and can cure most poisons, and there is no difference between Monshood and Wolfsbane they are the same plant also referred to as Aconite ."

Everyone had written that down. Severus started a lecture than set them to work on a potion.
