A/N: Sorry for the delay, collage started back on august and I been busy ever since. Hopefully now that I�m used to my schedule updates will be faster.

Thanks to my beta kayleigh robinson, and to everybody who review. Any remaining mistakes are mine.

The next morning Severus and James were eating breakfast alone.
"I was thinking� started James "That after Harry returns from the Dursley, I could tell him about you and me, and that your his father, and you could visit us or we could visit you."
"And do what play happy family; pretend that almost fifteen years hasn't passed since you and I were together, that there isn't a history of animosity between me and the boy."
"His name is Harry and I would have thought that you would make an effort of knowing your son, after all you always wanted a family."
"Yes, and you made sure that I couldn't know the boy before, and now I have no inclination of getting to know him. I'm spending the summer with my godson, what you and your brat do is of no consequence to me." and with that Severus left.
Later that morning it was still an angry James that reaches the headmaster's office.
"James my boy, come on in."
"Thanks headmaster."
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, I just hope this will go better than my talk with Severus."
"I take it didn't go well."
"It would have been easier talking to a wall, than talking to him. I get that he's angry that he blames me, but must he take it out on our son."
"You must understand James, your apparent betrayal hurt him, more than he let on, and ever since Harry entered the school they have been at each others throat."
"Well, he shouldn't make his live a living hell for the mistakes that we both made; I might have been the one that left, but he's the one that took the dark mark."
"A decision that he came to regret I assure you."
"Yeah well the man who just told me that me and my son could go and fuck ourselves, didn�t seem very regretful or remorseful."
"All the same he is and maybe if you give him time he will come to accept the boy."
"Why would he, when his godson has already taken Harry's place in his heart�
To that the headmaster had no answer, they both knew Severus Snape and they both knew that he could hold a grudge until hell freezes over, maybe even after. Changing the subject to what he hoped would be a better reunion he said
"I have informed both Remus and Sirius of what happened, they know your here and they are excited to see you, it was only the treat of facing Poppy that stopped them from coming last night. They should be here shortly." No sooner had he said that, there was a knock on the door and Remus and Sirius came in.
"James." they said at the same time and the next thing he knew he was on the floor being hugged to death by his two best friends. They spent a couple of hours talking before James heard what he had been expecting to hear since he found out his son was alive, Harry was awake and he could go meet him. Steeling himself to what would be the most emotional of his reunions he started walking to the infirmary with Sirius, Remus and the headmaster.
"Let me go first." said Sirius "someone should give him some sort of warning."
"All right, but don't tell him that I'm back, I want to do that myself."
When Sirius entered the first thing he saw was a very young and small boy sitting in a bed, if he didn't know better he would have said that it was a first year.
"Harry" said Sirius
"Sirius!" said Harry before launching himself toward the man like a small child. In that moment Sirius gave thanks that he hadn't lost his quiditch reflexes, otherwise Harry would've broken his neck.
"Hey pup how are you?"
"I'm fine." came the standard reply
"Sure you are. Now I need you to listen to me, okay Harry" when he received a nod from the boy he continued "when you returned from the grave yard Dumbledore sent Snape to see if something had been left behind, and he found something or rather someone."
"Who?"
"Your dad."
"You�re lying, why would you say that, what did I do to you?" asked Harry clearly in pain,
"Harry you haven't done anything; I'm not lying." but the boy seems not to hear him, so Sirius cupped his head in his hands to get his attention, "Harry? Have I ever lied to you?"
"No"
"Have I ever given you reason not to trust me."
"No"
"Then trust me when I say that this is your Dad, that Remus and I have tested him and that it is really him, now would you like to meet him?
"Yes." and with that Sirius exited the hospital wing and a couple of seconds later James Potter, his father comes in. Neither one of them moved or spoke, each just contend to gazed at each other for the first time in years, and then like being awoken from a spell, James moved forward until he reach his son on the bed and pulled him into a hug. Harry stays stiff for a couple of seconds before hugging his father back.
"The last time I saw you were a mere baby,� said James voice thick with emotions "who expended his day turning peoples hair into different colours or making things fly, and now here you are, a teenager, it's hard to believe." Harry doesn't say anything what can you say to a man that is your father but you have never really know, but it appears that James Potter doesn't have that problem, as he starts talking of everything under the sun. They talked for about an hour when James turned the conversation to the Dursleys something that Harry had been dreading since his father entered the room.
"How do they treat you?"
"Fine." came Harry standard reply
"Harry.� warns James, and while it's the first time that Harry hears that tone he recognized it, not because of his uncle, but because it's the same tone Mrs.Weasly uses on Fred and Gorge and while it conveys annoyance and anger it also conveys love.
"Well they don't really like me, and they make me do chores, but nothing really bad.� and while Harry's voice doesn't betray him his body language does, and in that moment James remember a home he once went when he was an auror, an a claim of abuse had come in, the girl like Harry didn't betray anything with her voice, but how she moved, how she never took her eyes of him and how she always seem ready to protect herself were clear signs of abuse, just as they are clear on Harry. For a moment James closes his eyes, and not for the first time regrets his decision of never telling Severus he had a son. It's Harry's voice that brought him out of his self-hate,
"Do you mind if I go to sleep?.'' asked Harry, and James couldn't help but notice that the boy expected him to deny his request, and it appears that he didn't answer fast enough because Harry starts a nervous blabbing that tears his heart "it's just that I'm really tired, but if you don't want me to I could stay awake-"
"Harry" interrupted James "go to sleep; we'll talk later, okay sunshine."
"Sunshine?" asked Harry
"It�s what I used to call you."
"Why?"
"Because of your eyes and your smile."
"Really."
"Really." and after giving Harry a kiss on his forehead, he sat down next to the bed. An hour later he was joined by Sirius and Remus.
"He looks so small" said James "I don't remember us being so small at that age"
"Well we weren't."
"Severus doesn't want anything to do with him; or me."
"James...."
"No don't say it Sirius, I know all right, I know."
''They hurt him didn't they?'' there was no question of who them was, the three men surrounding the bed knew that they were talking about the Dursley
'We think so; Harry never talks about them but from the way he behaves, and his lack of weight and height we know that they did."
"Why didn't anybody help him?"
"There was really nobody to take him, and it was where he was safest, even if she isn't really his aunt, Lily still died for him, so the blood wards are still effective.� said Remus
"What good do they do, when the people living inside them can hurt you, without fear of repercussion."
"Well now he has you, and us, and the Weasley's, and even I have to admit that he even has Snape in a way."
"And what a way to have a father being constantly humiliated, insulted and despise by him, yeah that's exactly the way any child wants a parent."
"Well maybe he'll come around or we'll make him come around."
"No."
"But James..."
"Don't you understand right now Severus hold sole power over Harry. When I was declare dead legal guardianship went to him, if you bother him the only one that will pay will be Harry, because he will make it ten times harder for me to get Harry.''
"But Petunia-"
"Has no legal right."
"Well who would choose Severus over you?"
"I'll tell you who; those who hate me or Harry, those who will probably think that I ran since we can't really explain where I was, much less how I got here, those that will say that Severus has have a steady job for the last fourteen years, that he has had contact with Harry for the last four even if he didn't know he was his son, and they will blame me for that, those that will say that despite his hatred for me, has saved Harry's live over and over again."
"What about him being a death Eater."
"That�s the easiest, since Dumblerdore cleared him the first time around."
"What are you going to do?"
"Since Harry has to stay with the Dursleys for two weeks, I will get my affairs in order, clear your name, find a place to life, and try to work something out with Severus outside the courts."
"Are you really planning to send him to the Dursleys?"
"Yes but before, I will have a talk with his uncle."
