It had been two weeks since the Easter holidays had finally finished and everyone was getting ready for the end of year tests.... Merlin forbid Severus wanted to kill a few students for blowing up his cauldrons once again, he could understand the First and Second years but the older years no way in Hell would he forgive them!

"For the last time if another one of you dunderheads blow up another one of my cauldrons I will have you here for detention every night until you graduate from here! That includes the holiday's" he snapped at a group of Hufflepuffs and Slytherins.

Everyone knew he hated the end of year tests what he hated more was O.W.Ls and the N.E.W.Ts he could so do without them but they were a must for everyone Witches and Wizards to take and thankfully Harry wasn't going to be taking them for another few years.

Lost in his thought he didn't notice one of the cauldrons bubble and then explode! But due to all his always ready precautions a shield formed right away protecting everyone in the classroom.

"I thought I told you lot to be careful! You Mister Fuller will have detention for the rest of the week, where you will clean every cauldron from the lessons as well as help me with preparing the ingredients. CLASS DISMISSED!" he bellowed at the end making everyone leave as fast as they could.

Stepping out of the classroom and into the hallway after he had cleaned up the room he notice Harry walking towards the Headmasters office, as this was Severus' free period he called out to his son.

"Hadrian what are you doing?" this made Harry jumped at first but when he turned round he saw it was his father.

"Oh... Hi dad" he mumbled but he knew his father heard him and Severus have him a look to say 'either tell me now or we will talk about it in a detention tonight'.

"Fine... I'll tell but I know you won't be happy with it all..." mumbled Harry as he walked towards his father and with that they walked back into his classroom.

"So..."

"The Headmaster called for me when I was in Herbology, Madam Sprout told me to go and I was on my way to him when you caught me".

"I don't like this one bit son, as I have a free period I will join you..."

"But don't you have papers to grade??"

"I do but I can finish them tonight when I have a student in detention for blowing up a cauldron again" and so the two headed to the Headmasters.

................

"Ah Harry my boy do come in, oh Severus I didn't know you would be joining us, I only asked for young Mister Potter" said Albus.

"Headmaster please I am the boys father and as his father I am allowed to join said meeting, he is underage to attend a meeting he or his parent feel that it is something bad. I would also like to say that his name is Hadrian Jameson Severus Snape, he is no longer Harry James Potter how many times do I have to tell you" snapped Severus at the end of his speech.

"Severus please this is just silly, he will and forever be known as Harry James Potter, he was born with that name, it does not matter that he was adopted, Harry my boy, isn't that right?" said Albus looking at the spot where the boy once stood.

"Albus please get on with why you have asked my son to come here now or we will leave and I will inform the Ministry about this all" again Severus snapped at the Headmaster.

"Severus the boy has to return to his relatives house when summer begins, the blood wards with protect him for any harm that may come to him, it's all for the greater good" the god damn twinkle was in his eyes again this meant he was up to something.

"Headmaster I will say this one last time Hardian is my son the Ministry has this on file as will as the Goblin's at Gringotts, my son will return home with me".

"Severus please be reasonable on this, Harry..."

Harry interpreted him saying "Hadrian...." but he didn't come out of his hiding place within his father's robes, Otiz was growling now.

"....as I was saying he needs to be at his relatives he will be well protected against Voldermort, he saved the Wizarding world when he was just a baby and I know he will be able to do it once again.

With their loving care I know his relatives will look after him and care for him like any other family should. They have missed him and have reported it to the Muggle authorities because he went missing...."

"What in Merlin's name, why would they care, when I found the poor boy he was being to an inch of his life, if I hadn't of gone to him he would of been dead, so much for the greater good if the Saviour of the Wizarding World ended up dead!" yelled Severus making Harry flinch and held on tightly to his father.

"Severus my boy please understand they are his relatives they can look after him, he must of hurt himself some how, it's quite normal for a young man such as Harry to hurt himself now and again, I bet he was just over reacting, weren't you my boy?" Albus redirected his sentence to the hidden boy.

Nothing was said, Severus robes just shook as Harry cried silently into his father back.

"Albus I ask you to stop this right now or so help me I will leave this office with my son and go and talk with the Minister right now and have them send over all the paperwork regarding this matter" he sneered.

"I bet he just fell messing around with his cousin, he seems nice enough telling me that he and his friends always let Harry join in any of their games, he says that he treats Harry as a brother, he also told me that he was very much a part of the family. All of them laughing and joking, watching television... what ever that my be... sharing treats and a bedroom, helping with chores... you know the normal things family gets up to...."

Albus wanted to say more but he noticed that his floo had activated and the other two had disappeared from the office.

The twinkle in his eyes had gone and he yet again threw everything off his desk including his most precious lemon drops.

"That boy the insufferable dungeon dweller, I need to get that brat back on the right side and not have that snarky dungeon dweller have him otherwise my whole plan will be ruined and I can't have that".

.............

In the Ministry, Severus had managed to get his son out from under his robes, his eyes bright red from crying.

"Hardian my boy, my son don't listen to what that old coot says, you will never be going back to them, you are my son from the moment I rescued you from them ok" and he hugged him tightly.

He walked up to a desk and demanded to talk to Cornelius Fudge right away saying that it was to do with the old coot at the school, he knew Fudge would come right away just to get some dirt of the man and as Severus was a very close friend of the Malfoy's, he knew that at any moment he would be diving into Lucius' pockets.

Right away Fudge appeared and saw how upset Harry was and he could almost see the steam coming off Severus due to his anger.

"Why Professor Snape and young Master Snape what can I do for the pair of you?" he sked as sweet as anything, need to be nice otherwise I'll be dealing with one very upset Malfoy.

"I need you to set up a meeting with our esteemed Headmaster as he still isn't understanding that Harry Potter no longer exists, you have all the records on this and I would like you to make sure that he finally understands this" snarled Severus.

"I want to go home...." mumbled Harry to his dad's side.

Fudge turned to the boy and asked "young Master Snape are you will having trouble with him at school again? How are your sessions going?" but Harry kept tight lipped all he wanted to do was go home, he didn't want to go back to school.

"You see Minister, Hadrian has been getting better he isn't stuttering anymore, he doesn't flinch away much anymore but when you have been told quite harshly mind you that you have to return to the one place you do not want to go by someone you once trusted will bring everything fore front.

It appears to me that if out esteemed Headmaster doesn't get it thought his thick lemon sherbet sucking head and admit that Hadrian is now my son, through adoption then I will have to go even further and do a blood adoption just to keep the poor boy away from them" finally he sighed.

"I think Severus.... can I call you that? If it does come to this you will have to. Albus isn't one to listen once he get something into that head of his. I have been telling him that he is your son but not once had he looked at the documents I have presented him with.

I will set up this meeting with yourselves, his new godparents as well as any others you have interacted with, but I do think a blood adoption will work more in your favour than anything else. Hadrian would you be ok with that?"

Harry just looked at the Minister and then at his father.

"Hadrian son it's up to you? I can contact Lucius and Narcissa as well as Molly and Arthur and any other Weasely you want there" said Severus trying to make his son feel better.

"Luke and Crissy?" mumbled Harry making Severus smile at him.

"Molly and Artie as well? Billy and Charlie too?" yet again this was answered by a smile.

"As you can see Minister Hadrian still needs some mind healing but he will be alright. For this meeting we will have Lord and Lady Malfoy, Molly, Arthur and their two oldest son's William and Charles".

With that Severus got up taking a hold of his son who was worn out but stopped and turned round, son in arms and said "before I forget I would like to add into this meeting one Filius Flitwick, one Pomona Sprout, one Minerva McGonagall and one Poppy Pomfrey" and with that he left.
